Either Disney really believes they've got something with this show, or they're insanely desperate.

Really hoping for the former.

A city that was to live by night after the wilderness had passed. A city that was to forge out of steel and blood-red neon its own peculiar wilderness.
To me it seems just like Andor in that they just don't have a loving clue how to advertise it.

They have like consistently struggled to advertise anything that isn't like toyetic(shout out to baby yoda) or able to like lean on "hey you remember that thing", or hey you like lightsabers right?

It's why the money shot in all these trailers have been that shot of them in the forest igniting the lightsabers, and then the follow up of the red lightsaber flying out of the woods.

Whatever.
Social media review embargo drops tomorrow, and full reviews are out shortly before release. Which I believe is a similar review schedule Andor had. So it seems like Disney has faith to drop social embargo two weeks early. I think the big media push is because it's in a time period most don't know about. "Where's the clones?" "Is this about Rey?" "Where is Vader?"

He'd be in his mid 700s or thereabouts, and he's usually off in the background in every other High Republic work doing who-knows-what, so I highly doubt it

They should be milking Frank Oz for every voice clip possible to eventually also turn Yoda into an AI ghoul, so it's a little weird they're not using him more

700 is a teen for Yoda's species. Yoda tragically died in the equivalent of his early 20s, from degenerative Swamp Madness.

I mean, Yoda’s appeared in other Old/High Republic related stuff to my knowledge so it wouldn’t surprise me. Not sure why they’d hide him in this case however

That would be Cylo, who helped make Vader's suit and purported that the next step in human evolution towards immortality was through cybernetics



Cylo-V here had a system in place that when he died, he would be uploaded into a new body; Cylo-IV was killed by Triple Zero during interrogation, and the Emperor ultimately decided that his usefulness had come to an end and manipulated him into rebellion so he could be destroyed without disrupting the other members of the Tarkin Initiative (which besides the Death Star and the Cylo Directive, also had other plans like Operation Cinder's Climate Disruption Arrays and Hutt Clone Troopers)
