Bendu to me was a factor in Thrawn's plans but he really wasn't the reason that it didn't go completely the way that he wanted.

Pryce and Konstantine completely screwed up his plans.

I remember in I think season one when Tarkin called in those two imperial officers to talk to them about their failures and then had the inquisitor execute them.

There's no doubt that the Rebellion took a major step back last night. Materially they lost everything that they had gained over the last couple of years. The Y-Wings that they stole, The Nebulon B frigates, the escort carrier they also lost at least a hammerhead.

This is a two rebel cells that are in no shape to do anything at all.

I would expect that there is logically going to be some resentment between Rebel Cells next year because of Mon deciding not to show up.

I can imagine on the Imperial side we will see Pryce next year but she won't have much authority because she not only was a lousy on scene commander but she let an invaluable prisoner escape because she got upset.

I mean I don't disagree with you, I thought the Bendu stuff while interesting was a bit of a leap in terms of allowing Kanan and his group to escape, but he cost himself a valuable Force asset in the process.

If next year is the last year, there's a lot of things that need to happen or be explained.

1) You my friend are the last of your kind - the exchange between Vader and Tarkin. We have three force users that we know of and we know the fate of Kenobo. But what are the fates of Ezra and Kanan and were they with the Ghost during the events of Rogue one

2) Thrawn - We didn't see him in any of the OT movies, but you'd think that a Grand Admiral would at least be involved. We also saw Bendu telling him that he saw his defeat

3) X-Wings - We haven't seen any yet. We also know that the Rebels are out capabled on the fighter side with the arrival of the Defender. A-Wings and Y-Wings have really been outclassed.

4) The final fate of the Mandolorians - I wonder if we see Bobba Fett next year?

There's more as well. I assume that at some point we'll see the construction site of the DS. It would be kind of cool if the events of Rogue one were shaped by the Rebel series.
