A prominent SW youtuber has theorized that they're going to make use of the world between worlds from Rebels as a way to make the Sequel Trilogy the events of a different timeline essentially, giving them the means to go their own way in this separate one. Which would be frickin amazing.

Clever in that they wouldn't have to de-canonize the sequels that way, but would be able to make them irrelevant.

That youtuber goes on to hint at Thrawn being the "phase one" villain and the Yuuzhan Vong from older EU material being possible "phase two" villains in the overarching story of this new post-ROTJ Filoniverse.

No amount of nerd rage is gonna make them erase the sequel trilogy. People hated the prequels just as much if not moreso than the current Disney movies, and those abominations are still canon.

Personally I hope they don't go the retcon route. Disney is on a roll with the Mandalorian, and they need to just concentrate on creating new and fresh stories within the SW universe. Seeing Luke in Mandalorian was a blast and it was really well done, but my hope is that it was just a cameo. Enough with the Skywalkers already.

A new timeline??? There is no way JJ Abrams would stand for that!!

That sure saved the the episode in a big way.

Dark troopers were terrible, not menacing or interesting at all.
Typical clunky droids that brought me back to the prequels.

Bokatan is poorly cast or just an annoying character (I don't know the background beyond this show); was really hoping Mof Gideon would kill her in battle.
The 4 female attack was very over the top in your face as well.

Luke however made up for all of that. Just wish they didn't mess up the CGI speaking and sound timing.
The X wing, green saber, black glove on right hand; all very well introduced before the final reveal.

Sorry, but I couldn't help but laugh at "poorly cast" given that Bo Katan's actress literally is Bo Katan.

But yes, if/when it comes down to Mando vs Bo for the saber and throne, I side with Din. No offense to the fans and whatever attachments may have developed to her over the course of the animated shows.

I like the interpreter getting all fat and starting to look more like Jabba, and I approve of more Bobba + Agent May next year.

Spoiler!

Bib Fortuna, Majordomo.

If this is Doomcock you’re referring to, I would believe approximately 0% of his breaking news and leaks. Same guy that had the scoop on Brie Larsen getting fired from the MCU, like a day before they announced her and her costars for Captain Marvel 2.

Sorry, what does that mean?
I'm not familiar with this character before this show; I haven't seen the animated Star Wars stuff.

If the casting is spot on, I guess I just don't like the character.

No, Lore Star. I can't stand that Doomcock guy.

Definitely not reported as a leak, just theorized and explained as to how it's entirely possible given the inclusion of Thrawn/Ezra and the lore that could accompany them.

To be fair a lot of fan theories have panned out so far, and that's due to Filoni and Favreau being in touch with the franchise's more hardcore fanbase. I mean fleshing out *specifically* phase three dark troopers on screen was something none of us even imagined at the outset of this season.

Whoops, I meant the sequel trilogy timeline will be the undisputed darkest timeline of SW.

And we are currently living the real world darkest timeline, yes.

But I am on board with a new Filoniverse timeline. It was difficult to live in a world where my favourite character Luke was done dirty like that, with that godawful dialogue.

Up. Yours. RJ. (but please make a Knives Out sequel)

Riann Johnson made a bad movie, but the sequel trilogy disaster is not his fault at all.

I kinda laughed when I read this because it bought back a Star Wars memory for me.

Back in the prequel days there was a Star Wars rumor site called SuperShadow.com, the guy who ran it claimed to work at Lucasfilms directly for George Lucas and continually put out "spoilers" around the prequels. "Darth Bane in revenge of the Sith is going to be revealed as Darth Bane and Palpatine is his clone". That Kenobi was going to be the villain in ROTS. All kind of outlandish rumors. He had a page on his site with the woman of Supershadow, all of these hot girls that he claimed he dated. He posted a picture of himself, which was actually a obscure Ray Park picture. It was hilarious. He even claimed that George had shown him the script for the Sequel Trilogy, that involved cloned Vaders with jet packs, and a Sith Cult in the thousands (Actually that might be better then what we got).

Anyways he had this huge fan base that ate up his stories that he was the extra sitting in the diner behind Obi-Wan and had played an extra jedi in AOTC because George was such a fan of his work that he rewarded him with screen time.

Then he crossed the line when he posted an interview that he did with George that of course was completely fake. He got thousands of dollars in donations from fans of the site. At that point sick of his act, Lucas film basically sued the crap out of him, revealed him to be a guy named Mikey Suttle or something like that, his websites were taken down by his hosts because Lucasfilms went after them. Suttle was forced to issue a very public and humiliating apology that he was a big fat psychopathic liar, and then vanished forever.

But through it all, I still want the jet pack wearing vader clones.

Disagree. It might not be all his fault, but he sure deserves a huge portion of the blame. One of the biggest complaints people have is his treatment of Luke. Outside of Kathleen Kennedy he’s probably the most responsible.

Yeah, I shouldn't say "at all". Just way less than he gets. His movie was bad, but he should never have been given the keys without any plan at all in the first place and that's not his fault.

[CaptainCrunch]

Rian deserves the lions share of the blame for the mess of the prequels, he tossed out TFA awakens story, made asses out of most of the characters, killed off the big bad like he was wearing a red shirt, and just overall made a completely awful story that JJ was forced to try to fix but did just as bad of a job trying to repair. (Horses in space, Kerri Russell wearing a helmet through the whole film, the awful Palpatine return as an apology)

I mean Disney as producers should have had a plan for the whole sequel trilogy and clearly didn't and let Rian run wild with just a dumb story idea.

KK is certainly at fault, but Rian was the guy who put together a terrible disconnected movie and shot it.

Amazing season finale today. Some of the best Star Wars content I've ever seen.

They seemed to have closed all the story arcs, but then that scene at the end pumped me up for another season.

[nik-]

No, he doesn't. They didn't have a plan and they allowed this guy with minimal resume to take the Star Wars tent pole franchise in his own direction. That is Kennedy's fault. Those are two totally unforgivable decisions. She deserves the lion's share. Abrams deserves just as much blame as Johnson. It's not like he did anything of quality either. The arc he was setting up was probably going to be garbage anyway since Abrams can't write worth a damn

Great episode start to finish.

I was thrilled to see the Skywalker reveal and the hood toss up.

The one part that has not been addressed is when he landed the Dark Troopers ceased their attack. The one group completely stopped attacking the room to wait for the other group to defeat the Jedi arrival. Clearly the deck breach was really about to occur.

Was the force involved in this motion, as I think was indicated by the perk of Grogu's ears and touching the screen. I felt at some point Grogu may have been using the force to control some of the Dark Troopers.

Then onto the battle with Moff Gideon, I thought it was so well done with the sneak attack and the struggle. Just a great battle all together. Especially how Moff Gideon was professing the known reality. Then back to the bridge of the ship and he starts talking about the power of the blade. I wonder if the two were related, i.e. the sword imparts a mysticism of seeing into the future, being able to anticipate events to occur.

Just a wow episode. The entire Disney series is a return to the imagination of the original trilogy.
