  • Rebels season 5, sometimes called Ahsoka season 1, was good, but was mostly just moving pieces into place.

    With all the buildup from Clone Wars & Rebels I hope we get some big payoff.

    Spoilers for Clone Wars, Rebels & Mando

    Look at the dark saber. It’s introduced as THE thing to reunite the Mandalorian people and society. We see it go from person to person, eventually Giancarlo Esposito gets it, then Mando gets it, then there is this whole thing with Bo Katan getting it. But then it just gets destroyed.

    I get the idea that the dark saber is just a thing, that the real leader doesn’t need a saber. But it just fizzled. Built up over three series and multiple seasons and it just gets broken, the end?

    We have the World Beyond Worlds, we saw it at the end of Rebels, we saw it in Ahsoka, let’s get weird with it. Do something amazing with it. Remember Rebels when Ahsoka dies but is saved via this crazy force magic? Let’s see something like that.




  • Last line of the article,

    Lamina1 has raised $9 million to date from notable investors and angels, such as LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman and Bloq co-founder Matthew Roszak.

    Good on then for taking money in from idiots. This whole article is a fools dream.

    Nothing outlined in this article requires or is improved by crypto, NFTs or the blockchain.

    Everything described could be added to Fediverse as it exists today. It would require zero extra effort. It could also be added to Reddit or Twitter, but if you want to it to be decentralized then it has to be on Mastodon/Lemmy/PeerTube/etc.







  • I’m not sure telling an untold story is repackaging. It’s exploring an existing characters story further

    Rogue One told the ending story of Cassian Andor (among other things).

    Then it was decided to go back and explain that characters backstory. Everyone, understandably, loved that.

    Hell the entire prequel trilogy is going back and telling us the origins of Darth Vader. The origins of Palpatine.

    I’m not against new villains, but we have other shows for that. Skeleton Crew introduced a new villain.

    Acolyte did tie in with an old, as of yet unseen, villain, but also introduced a bunch of new ones.




  • Minor Maul spoilers below.

    I mean Maul has been alive in animation since 2012 when he appeared in The Clone Wars. During that time they do a good job exploring the “somehow”. Since then he has gone on to have one of the best character stories in the series.

    After his appearance in The Clone Wars he disappears for a time before reappearing in Rebels.

    The “disappears for a time” era seems to be when this show will take place. If you watched the live action Solo film his appearance in that film is also from this time period.

    It is possible the events or characters from Solo will appear in this series, depending how long the series runs for.
