But I agree that the kid will stay with Mando and any Jedi will be a cameo. I don’t think we see Grogu going down the full Jedi path. Seeing Cal would also be very cool and lend even more legitimacy to the that story being part of the Canon That quest, we learn, is a search for the villain Grand Admiral Thrawn. The last time fans saw Ahsoka was this spring's finale of The Clone Wars, but in the actual Star Wars chronology, the last time we saw her was at the end ofRebels, venturing off with Sabine Wren to find Ezra Bridger, who vanished along with Thrawn. Where does that scene fit in with where we find her in The Mandalorian? Filoni: Right. But no, it's an interesting one… That's not necessarily chronological. I think the thing that people will most not understand is they want to go in a linear fashion, but as I learned as a kid, nothing in Star Wars really works in a linear fashion. You do [Episodes] Four, Five and Six and then One, Two, and Three. So in the vein of that history, when you look at the epilogue of Rebels you don't really know how much time has passed. So, it's possible that the story I'm telling in The Mandalorian actually takes place prior to that. Possible. I'm saying it's possible. ‘The Mandalorian’: Rosario Dawson Tells All About Ahsoka Tano | Vanity Fair WWW.VANITYFAIR.COM The actress and writer-director Dave Filoni discuss bringing the animated hero to live-action, Baby Yoda’s name, and real-life controversies and influences.

Reputator Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 I can't really make heads or tails of that. It doesn't make much sense, given that in Rebels we see Ashoka face off against Darth Vader one (presumably) last time, and during the events of The Mandalorian, the second Death Star is already blown up and Vader is gone. I kinda feel like he said that just to tease and troll the fans a little to try and throw them off. At least until we see more evidence and an explanation that somehow causes it all to fit.

Gavin King Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 In Rebels, there's a 2 minute epilogue with Ashoka that is X amount of time after the rest of Rebels. We know that The Mandalorian is about 4-5 years after most of Rebels, but we don't know how long X is. X could be 1-3 years or it could be 5-6 years, who knows. Since Ashoka is looking for Thrawn who disappeared with Ezra, my guess is it's the later. She hears Thrawn is back, is looking for him, gets the info she needs from him somehow and then goes to bring Ezra back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I wonder if they'll actually bring Thrawn into Mandalorian, or if they are only setting him up for a future cartoon again? Fuck, it's really too bad we didn't get him as the baddie in the ST. You could really even keep much of the same setup (with him convincing Ben to leave Luke, that only Thrawn could bring order, etc). And the tricks Thrawn uses to combat Jedi were interesting. A far better villain than Snoke and Palpatine for the ST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I know he says, “it’s possible,” but... I don’t really know how it is, unless something really weird happened. Some parts of the timing in the Rebels finale is a bit vague but I always assumed... Spoiler Sabine and Ahsoka went after Thrawn sometime after the second Death Star blew up? Sabine’s narration kinda implies that but I guess that’s not 100% confirmed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything in that scene that really indicates when it’s taking place, though it would be a little weird to have it be set after what we’re seeing on the Mandalorian.

It’s not that strange to be able to fit a show into a time gap like that. Heck most of the last two episodes of Clone Wars season 7 takes place DURING the events of the movie Episode 3. Except for the final scene which is estimated to being anywhere from many months to years after that. Star Wars stories and timelines start to feel like pieces to a jigsaw puzzle.

TheLeon Posted December 11, 2020 Share Posted December 11, 2020 Love that Space Boston is being represented again.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted December 12, 2020 Author Share Posted December 12, 2020 That was a HELLUVA episode! If I had one word to describe this show it would be "confident", bordering on "supreme confidence" (yes, I know that's two words, but you get the point!). This show is SO DAMNED SURE of what it is that its swagger practically oozes from the screen.

Honestly this is how I prefer Star Wars canon be approached. Respect the tone, worship the characters, and obey the rule of cool. Someone explain to me the logic behind the Imperial terminal. You basically need to: 1) Have a visible face 2) Not be a clone, or someone like Luke Skywalker, I guess 3) No other criteria It just doesn't matter. Also the show knows how much everyone who watches it loves Grogu, and it makes its characters feel the same way which is so smart. "Congrats on the new job. I need you to help me break someone out of prison." "lolno my benefits haven't even kicked in yet" "They took baby Yoda." "Let's ride."
