Bosco685 Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) Quote Two new The Mandalorian spin-offs, Ahsoka Tano and Rangers of the New Republic, will be crossing over. On the heels of the success of the Pedro Pascal-led series, Lucasfilm is expanding their live-action Star Wars lineup with two new offshoots being developed by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. Picking up from the success of Ahsoka's live-action debut in The Mandalorian season 2 played by Rosario Dawson, Ahsoka Tano will follow the former Jedi on a new adventure that takes place after the fall of the Empire in Return of the Jedi. Meanwhile, a second, more mysterious, offshoot has also been confirmed to be Rangers of the New Republic, which will more likely be about some of the key characters from the galactic's governing body following the defeat of Emperor Palpatine and his troops. Both shows will tackle separate stories but are set to converge down the road. As revealed by Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy at Disney's Investor Day presentation, Ahsoka Tano and Rangers of the New Republic will come together in the future. Unfortunately, nothing else was revealed about the crossover at this point, but it's proof that Lucasfilm is also building their interconnected stories on the small screen through Disney+ Edited December 11, 2020 by Bosco685 bentbryan, I like pie and Cozmo-One 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote But even Mark Hamill has stated that he disagreed with how his character was handled in the movie. When Last Jedi premiered, Hamill recalled a conversation with the film's director, Rian Johnson: "I said to Rian, 'Jedis don't give up.' I mean, even if [Luke] had a problem, he would maybe take a year to try and regroup, but if he made a mistake, he would try to right that wrong, so right there, we had a fundamental difference. But it's not my story anymore, it's somebody else's story and Rian needed me to be a certain way to make the ending effective. That's the crux of my problem. Luke would never say that. I'm sorry." Hamill raises a fair point. If you think about the character we knew in the original trilogy, his portrayal in the sequels doesn't totally make sense — even if it works within The Last Jedi's narrative. However, much like The Clone Wars used Ahsoka to massage some of the rougher details of the prequels into a cleaner story, Ahsoka showrunner Dave Filoni could use her again to make some minor repairs on the sequels too.

No idea about Ashoka, however keep in mind that at its height of power the jedi had 10,000 members (give or take). Now I have no idea how many habitable worlds there were in "A galaxy far, far away", but 10,000 people to cover a galaxy is going to be pretty spread out. Just taking Earth for example 10,000 jedi's would only be .0015% of the population. Now you have a galaxy to cover. 99.9% of the galaxy may have heard about Jedi in stories like we hear about the "Boogy Man", but they had never seen one, so yeah I can imagine alot of people not believing they ever existed. Espically when the Empire made a determined effort to wipe out all traces of them once it was in power. Ok, over on Wookiepedia it says that there was 100 quadrillion beings in the Galactic Empire. So yeah, Jedi for all intents and purposes were myths to pretty much the entire galaxy. Edited December 28, 2020 by media_junkie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Milky Way is estimated to have hundreds of BILLIONS of stars in it...even if only one in a thousand stars have habitable planets that's still hundreds of millions of planets. Keeping track of that many worlds sounds impractical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was fighting with the Rebellion prior to the OT. During that time she was pulled into the World Between Worlds while fighting Vader by a certain someone. Following the Battle of Endor she is seen in Rebels stating that she is going to find Ezra and bring him home. In my opinion, the reason why many Imperial officers and other Empire sympathizers spoke in terms of the Jedi being a distant memory is because they are all sycophants. Following Order 66 and the Jedi Purge, it wouldn’t be too far fetched to think that these sycophants believed everything Vader, Palpatine, and Tarkin fed them about the Jedi being extinct...even if they weren’t.

bentbryan Posted January 16, 2021 Share Posted January 16, 2021 I’m not going to add a link because I don’t trust the sources 100% buuuut I’ve seen it reported a couple times this morning that Lars Mikkelsen will play Thrawn in the Ahsoka series. Personally I’d rather see him as opposed to RDJ (which, if you hadn’t seen, was also rumored to have been in talks with Marvel to play Thrawn).

Buzzetta Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Meanwhile... Sabine Wren was last seen with Ahsoka as they prepared to venture off to find Ezra. Ezra was last seen dragged off with Thrawn. Ahsoka is currently looking for Thrawn. We may see Sabine Wren... we may also see 'The Ghost', (which I hope we do as I REALLY want a Haslab Ghost... I passed on the Razor Crest but I would get the Ghost) I never realized how many instances they snuck the Ghost into a Rogue One battle scene. bentbryan and awakeintheashes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
