It's not clear how much elapsed time there was in the Rebels epilogue. If it's only three years post-Jakku, they might not have set off on that trip yet.

I mean, it's also Sabine. We all know she should be showing up in the Mandalorian, let's be loving honest. Especially with Gideon's weapon in play.

I am certainly of two minds as to this development. I am simultaneously excited to see how Ahsoka would translate in live-action and unsure that that's the direction I'd want to see the plot go. I mean, it's Filoni, there's basically a 0% chance he could resist doing it, but I was kind of enjoying the glowstick-free Star War.

Ahsoka was just carrying a staff at the end of Rebels. It could still be glowstick-free if she clowns Darktroopers only using that, sort of like Chirrut.

Well, Ahsoka's gotta die by the ST so she can cheer Rey on from the afterlife with all the other Jedi, so having her die to Gideon would be a hilarious way to go about it

Filoni on that bit posted:

“It doesn’t really have any big implications to what I’m doing with the character, to be honest. I just thought it was a really fun thing. I thought J.J. [Abrams]’s instinct to be so inclusive with all these various elements of Star Wars and characters [was great]. And I thought it would be a great thing for the actors involved to be a part of something that was just really this celebrating moment of the Star Wars saga. So I didn’t think of it in a literal story [way]. The film, to me, is like a different area.”

If Boop makes it alive to this time period, there's zero chance she'll have changed her ways, and she'll definitely have a fresh bounty within a week of any amnesty, pardon, or whatever. Mando picking up her tracker could be an interesting story.

I posted my pitch for season 2 and it has Mando breaking Aphra out of a prison because she was caught stealing Jedi artifacts. He needs her help to figure out Baby Yodas deal.

Then we'll eventually learn she actually helped stop several ancient Jedi/Sith lords from coming back as vengeful wraiths and the Galaxy does in fact owe her a favor

...heck, she saved the Emperor's life at one point

I dunno, I liked how they actually sidestepped a cliche and addressed how (at least for the non-Force-user) being really into ships ≠ being a great pilot with Trace there.

But I'd be surprised if they went for full-on tragedy with them; they'll probably learn a lesson about trust and truthfulness or something in the next 2 eps.

It's more the older sibling constantly telling the younger one who is obviously smarter and more capable than them they'd be nothing without them, no one will look out for them but the older sibling, constantly gaslighting them. It happens every time you have a pair of siblings that are on their own.

Rafa seems to be absolutely correct that Trace has zero business sense and is dangerously naive, though. Not that Rafa is worlds better in that regard, but I think one of these sisters is ready for life outside Level 1313, and one isn't.

Interesting, that means its 2 AHSOKA stories and none that focus on Anakin and Obiwan? I mean technically they were part of the bad batch but they Clones were the stars of that.

Obi-Wan and Anakin had some focus in Bad Batch - nothing as involved as Crystal Crisis, and there'll be a little lip service paid to them in SoM on account of them having to choose whether to rescue the chancellor or help Ahsoka in the first episode (going off the episode summaries)

I'm assuming Siege of Mandalor brings everyone together at least at some point. Certainly Anakin and Ahsoka
