Oh pretty please, Disney, get Walton Goggins on this show in a small cameo role and have him interact with Cobb Vanth somehow.

Rey using Force lightning but not being a Sith (despite being related to an ultra powerful Sith Lord) makes me wish that more Jedi would use Force lightning. But I didn’t read a ton of EU books so I don’t know if they ever did or not.

Didn’t Luke have green lightning or something in the EU?

Frog Lady was awesome and I loved the hell out of that whole spider attack. Though next week, i'm going to have to insist that we start getting some plot development. This isn't a 20 episode season, afterall.

There was a Clint Eastwood movie made eons ago called Firefox, and the whole plot was that he was an American Air Force officer/fighter pilot brought out of retirement to participate in a mission dedicated to sneaking into the Soviet Union to steal a high tech Soviet fighter plane that could be flown with voice acitvated commands. It was a goofy SR-71 Blackbird-lookin' thing but just replace that with a Rogue Squadron-type group doing the same thing to swipe a top secret Imperial stealth bomber or whatever and include a lot of space combat and 1 v. 1 dogfighting and you've got yourself a starting point.

Orrrrrrrrrr, just do Star Wars: Iron Eagle and avoid the previous paragraph.

He had to think in Russian because the plane, which was a Russian prototype, wasn’t voice activated, its weapons systems were thought activated.

My mother got herself all caught up on all of the show and texted me to say that Timothy Olyphant looks like Pierce Brosnan all of a sudden.

It was really off-putting to have our hero and Carl Weathers share a joke about the fish guy being enslaved for hundreds of years.

How old would Ahsoka be at this point? Mid to late 40s?

Internet says time between Episode 3 and Episode 6 is 22 years. Ahsoka was 17 at the end of Clone Wars. Mando takes place 5 years after ROTJ.

So 44.

Rosario Dawson is 41.

I am looking forward to the best canon example of a "gray" Jedi, since Ep8&9 Luke didn't quite nail it.

Well, if Freddie Prinze Jr. is to be believed, George Lucas told him there’s no such thing as a Gray Jedi.

Good thing Lucas isn't the end-all-be-all canonical authority anymore, then? I mean, I know we're all kind of understandably :ohdear: about Disney having complete control over the IP, but this is one instance where I wish they'd break from the binary Light/Dark poo poo.

True, but apparently Lucas explained it to Filoni and Filoni explained it that way to Prinze.

Ashley Eckstein is awesome, and she's almost the same age as Dawson, but her Ahsoka voice was meant for teenage Ahsoka. It'd be a little weird if someone in their mid-40's sounded like the Clone Wars version of the character.

The only way that could have been more of a Samurai duel is if it took place in tall grass, they ran at each other, stopped and one of them fell.

I leaped off the couch and shouted “OH MY GOD” at the namedrop.

This show is going places, folks. It’s going places. Let Favreau and Filoni do whatever the hell they want with Star Wars for the next decade.
