Season 2 Episode 5 + I can't wait for Thrawn. I don't know if Ahsoka is getting her own show with Thrawn, but it seems possible. I haven't watched Star Wars Clone Wars or Rebels so I'm not familiar with the backstory, although I'm aware of it lol.

She is. I think that’s how that arc is going to be resolved too and not actually in this show

Imagine some weirdo who is watching mando but not any other star wars being like who the fuck was that guy at the end?

pretty sure thousands of Baby Yoda posers who wanted to blend in and not be left out of the conversation are in this boat

I will say that Mando has ignited the SW fan in me. I watched the movies (except the sequels) and was always "yea, it's okay". But something about this show made me want to go back to watch the OG trilogy and pay attention to the dialogue and detail

Do you think any of them think Luke is grogu's dad or something? Mando says "he's your kind"

My Thrawn will always be "The Heir to the Empire" or also known as "Timothy Zahn's Thrawn Trilogy"

They had Zahn write new Thrawn stuff in the new canon maybe they'll get him to pen an episode.

I would love to see him and Filoni work together on a Thrawn arc.

Great news for the SHOW! She’s so bad. And she was basically mocking Pedro for having he/him in his Twitter bio a few months back

I'm kinda sad about this because I loved Cara when I first saw her appearance and had no idea of the shit she said. She's currently trending on twitter and so is the hashtag #CancelDisneyPlus

She tweeted this and wow, who would have guessed!

So the new season dropped

wow... That really needed a 2 episode premiere. Felt very underwhelming to me. So many plot points hinging on other plot points and none of them really seem that necessary? Like I really think Mando is being dumb here. Gotta get the chip to get the robot to maybe get to the planet to baptize yourself to get back into your cult which you're already the leader of technically

the show has always very much had video gamey fetch quest setup but this one did feel especially egregious in that regard. Dude got like 5 quests in one ep. I was losing track!

I am very annoyed that they're bringing back yet ANOTHER character. Couldn't just let IG stay dead and make up a new character of course, he somehow left enough parts behind after blowing himself up. Sure. I guess they just really wanted to bring Taika back Grogu being back in the picture was hilariously glossed over, just like "yeah I finished my quest with him but now he's back I guess so that's that". I mean I'm not complaining that he's still on the show since I'd be much less interested otherwise, but surely they could've come up with an actual compelling emotional reason. I dipped out of Boba Fett before they reintroduced him but I at least heard about it and this still felt jarring. Can't imagine how the Mando-only watchers felt. I still think they should've had them apart for at least half this season but hey Babu Frik's back so that's p cool. Love that guy! THE only highlight of TROS, and one of the only highlights of this ep. It looked like they even used stop motion for parts of his scene
