Well - it’s here! The first two episodes are on Disney+
Keen to hear what everyone’s thoughts are. Needless to say, there will be lots of spoilers in this discussion.
I really liked it. Felt like a solid continuation of Rebels, a bit slow at times, but overall a solid setup for what could be a very interesting and exciting series.
I feel like we should be able to guess the identity of the masked third Sith-esque villain. Don’t think it’s a fallen Ezra (too boring a plot line) but the stance and mannerisms seemed very familiar…
Also - great to see Kevin Kiner doing the music! Nice callback to some Rebels motifs here and there.
I would’ve liked to see Vanessa Marshall as Hera, I felt her voice was so uniquely matched. This Hera seems way too girly for a maternal older Hera. And where is her son?
Hoping for a Freddie Prinze Jr cameo.
Dave Filoni must be so happy to finally tell this story. Can’t wait to see what comes next!
I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. Where do I start?
First ep:
Second ep:
Absolutely no way Disney makes Yuuzhan Vong (or anything similar) canon. Too cowardly.
Well… Dave Filoni did bring us quite a lot of nice star wars. I can’t see how he would refuse to have something so cool as the Yuuzhan Vong.
They could for merchandising reasons. They would just tone them down some I think, but yeah, it’s a long shot.
The Yuuzhan Vong were replaced by the Grysks in the canon Thrawn novels

Interesting. I haven’t read any of the new canon stuff about high republic. I do think they are/will tie in that stuff more though since it’s a whole new thing to explore. Anything that brings in new merchandise will make Disney say yes.

Ah. I misinterpreted your second point. I never read the stuff about the Tho Yor, so I was assuming it was High Republic stuff but I searched it and saw it’s Legends material
Edit: additionally, maybe they are going to introduce and retcon the Rakata as being from this new Galaxy originally? They’ve already talked about them in either Mando or Andor, I can’t remember.

WHOAAAA! The Fermi Paradox in Star Wars? With something as terrifying as the Yuuzhan Vong?!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Yea, the inquisitor is kinda sus, no? Although, I really hope that he is just some random surviving inquisitor. I didn’t find him THAT cool for him to turn out to be some character that we know about already.
Honestly, THAT is what I’m hoping for! Is Thrawn the anti-hero working to stop an impending Yuuzhan Vong invasion? Was Palpy preparing for this too by building the death stars? Aside from galactic domination, was defending from a Yuuzhan Vong invasion one of the goals of the Final Order?
