Star Wars: The Mandalorian - Page 8

I’m curious what their plan for Thrawn is now. Would finding him be a main part of the rumored Ahsoka series? I don’t think Thrawn has a connection to what is going on with Gideon or anything else related to Mando.

It could also just be a nod to what they set up at the end of Rebels. Hopefully we get more live action Ahsoka and hopefully Thrawn in the future.

Why not? This is only so many years before the Force Awakens, and they had Hamil play a Luke who was running the Jedi school, training Kylo Ren in flashbacks in the Last Jedi. And those flashbacks were even closer to the Mandalorian time period than TFA.

They could definitely have Hamil show up and play Luke.

The TLJ flashbacks were set 6 years before TFA, so much closer to the ST time period than to Mando so it’s not just a case of getting Hamill back, they’d need to de-age him as well. Not saying it won’t happen (and I totally think they’d de-age Hamill rather than recast), just saying it’s not as easy as just convincing him to return, there would be VFX costs as well.

If the story goes in that direction I expect they’d do it (and as a fan that would be amazing), but I’m not sure that’s where they’re heading.

Maybe he does. Perhaps the "Dark Force" of clones from the 2nd book, "Dark Force Rising" are being replaced by the Dark Troopers we saw at the end of the last episode. And if Grand Admiral Thrawn is out there, Moff Gideon is answering to him for sure.

I'm just... not sure a satisfying Grand Admiral Thrawn mega story can be achieved either from the Mandalorian's perspective or Ahsoka's. It would need to be a bigger thing, like a movie or a trilogy.

*CyberCubed* · 11-27-2020, 08:31 PM

There's no way they would de-age Mark Hammil for a full episode. Way too costly. Again, this show only takes place a few years after episode 6. Luke is only 30 something in this time period.

*Roseangelo* · 11-27-2020, 09:07 PM

We won't see Luke. This show is drawing heavily from Clone Wars and Rebels. I haven't watched Rebels, but I believe what we can expect to see in the upcoming episodes will be linked to that show.

*CyberCubed* · 11-27-2020, 10:16 PM

Its already taken stories from Rebels, and Ahsoka and Thrawn's stories here continue directly from that show.

I would say that both things could happen, no?
Don't get me wrong, I'm with you completely that this show is a gateway continuation to Filoni's other Star Wars material, but why does that rule out a Skywalker appearance? Be it either with Hamil or someone like Sebastian Stan as Luke? I'm not bettin' the bank on it, but it is a possibility!

Yep, Sebastian Stan as Luke, dude from Solo as Han, dude from Solo as Lando, Chewie actor from last couple of ST movies and Solo, MacGregor back as Obi-Wan's ghost, Frank Oz still around to do the voice of Yoda's ghost... that's 90% of the cast there. They just need a new Leia. No CGI needed at all.

Because Disney is finished with the Skywalkers.

Kathleen Kennedy is, for sure. Too "problematic."

All I can say is that I haven't financially rewarded Star Wars as an I.P. since I began basing strong opinions on what I've seen and heard from Kathleen Kennedy and what I saw with The Last Jedi.
Disney Star Wars won't get a dime from me as long as she's on board that ship. I thought the Force Awakens was fine - I had high hopes for the franchise based on the Force Awakens. But then Kennedy started her extremist ******** and TLJ came out and that was that.

But Filoni and Favreau are purists. I can see them pushing for a Luke appearance, if only to put a badass Jedi Master Luke on screen even once. I can also see this not happening as well, lol!

*sdp* · 11-28-2020, 01:26 AM

I can see Luke appearing as a cameo either through CGi, Deepfake or new actor. Nothing more than that in The Mandalorian since it's not his story.

I do feel the longer the show goes for and the stakes are risen the less sense it'll make that this took place before The Force Awakens, in a way it'll make that trilogy worse.

Disney will continue to milk the $kywalkers for as long as they can. No doubt Episode X will have an older Rey eventually continuing the "rise" of the Skywalker line, hell maybe by then it'll be retconned she was actually a real Skywalker.

I see Rey ultimately falling just as Anakin did. She's a Palapatine and there is far too much dramatic potential out of making her the Empress than someone who appropriates the Skywalker legacy.

KK won't allow it.
Rey is "example of how strong feale characters should be" in their eyes, can't desecrate that.

*Andrew NDB* · 11-28-2020, 04:05 AM

Rey as the new Empress with the Second Order. They attack the New New Republic in Episode X and the New New Republic becomes "Rebels" again.

Blegh. I can see it now.

*Andrew NDB* · 11-28-2020, 04:06 AM

Rey as the new Empress with the Second Order. They attack the New New Republic in Episode X and the New New Republic becomes "Rebels" again. More TIE Fighters and X-Wings and Millennium Falcon going through tunnels.

Blegh. I can see it now.

*CyberCubed* · 11-28-2020, 10:13 AM

Sebastian Stan looks nothing like a young Mark Hammil. Where is this coming from?

I wouldn't say this is true at all. There is definitely a resemblance there - enough that he could carry the role.

It's something that's been kicked around in fan circles and became the topic of nerd media articles. Even Mark Hamil himself made a comment that implies that there is a connection there.

*CyberCubed* · 11-28-2020, 01:54 PM

The mere fact that they never even made a CG cartoon with Luke/Han/Leia says enough in itself. They could easily adapt the comics made during the original trilogy or directly after episode 6 into a new cartoon for Luke/Han/Leia but for some reason they never do it.

I'm not sure why exactly. Everyone wants to see new adventures of Luke and everyone outside of comics but they never give them any cartoons/shows ever for some reason. You just have to read comics/books to see that but not everyone wants to read so most tend to forget it exists.
