Well - it’s here! The first two episodes are on Disney+

Keen to hear what everyone’s thoughts are. Needless to say, there will be lots of spoilers in this discussion.

I really liked it. Felt like a solid continuation of Rebels, a bit slow at times, but overall a solid setup for what could be a very interesting and exciting series.

I feel like we should be able to guess the identity of the masked third Sith-esque villain. Don’t think it’s a fallen Ezra (too boring a plot line) but the stance and mannerisms seemed very familiar…

Also - great to see Kevin Kiner doing the music! Nice callback to some Rebels motifs here and there.

I would’ve liked to see Vanessa Marshall as Hera, I felt her voice was so uniquely matched. This Hera seems way too girly for a maternal older Hera. And where is her son?

Hoping for a Freddie Prinze Jr cameo.

Dave Filoni must be so happy to finally tell this story. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Absolutely no way Disney makes Yuuzhan Vong (or anything similar) canon. Too cowardly.

They could for merchandising reasons. They would just tone them down some I think, but yeah, it’s a long shot.

The Yuuzhan Vong were replaced by the Grysks in the canon Thrawn novels

Well.... Dave Filoni did bring us quite a lot of nice star wars. I can't see how he would refuse to have something so cool as the Yuuzhan Vong.
