George may have wrote that there here heroes on both sides in ROTS but I think it started with Rogue One turning the Rebels into straight up terrorists. It always felt kind of weird to me because they were always on the side of good, but now Disney is trying to make them space Al Qaida.
To play Devil's Advocate, I did enjoy that Disney wasnt shying away and pretending the rebellion didnt have to do morally gray (and even leaning on black) things to get the upperhand. In true conflicts like these, even the "good guys" need to do bad things. The opening of Rogue One literally had our "hero rebel" silencing an ally of theirs that was too fatty to get away...both to spare him the torture and possible arrest/execution from the empire and to keep his mouth shut over what he knew.
It also helped to show that the rebellion wasnt this centralized group entirely, there were "members" of them that went into extremist routes like Saw Gerrera...sure, he was going against the empire too but his methods were far too extreme for the rebellion to "officially" accept him...but lets face it, Im sure the higher ups were glad that someone was doing the harder choices so they wouldnt have to do it themselves.
The rebels ARE the good guys but to fight an enemy with no morals, standards or lines they wont cross, its difficult to get the upper hand without having to let go of some moral and standards yourself. So I "applaud" Disney for not shying away from the grim reality of what is being in an actual rebellion.
I knew people would be fucking confused as all hell on why Grogu is back with Din.
This is why you as storytellers don't put critical info in a show most of the fans don't watch. People will rightly ask why did they not have this at the beginning of the new season instead of another show.
Thats why I say that BoBF is basically Mando S 2.5.
Disney couldnt help themselves but to destroy the setup S2's finale left us on by solving it disgustingly fast in their boba show because they had nothing else.
Now those that didnt watch or even see online stuff about BoBF are confused as fuck and possibly kind of pissed that Disney is strongarming them into watching BoBF so they can understand how Grogu is back.
Then again, what plot is there for Mando S3 now that Grogu is back ?
The Acolyte from Harvey Weinstein’s former assistant Leslye Headland is set 100 years before
The Phantom Menace.
Speaking of which, I thought that there was no source material Kathy.
Translation
"We are stealing and cherry picking the best stuff from Legends because we cant make our original stuff come even close to that level of quality"
Didnt they got rid of the old expanded universe just so they wouldnt be creatively limited ? So now they went back and are now basically plagiarizing what came before. So much for letting the past die, huh?
Yes, an object that emits a beam of plasma that melts anything it touches. Good job, Luke!
Good to see we are starting to see the first signs of Jake Skywalker.
Legends Grand Master Luke shakes his head in disappointment.
Almost feels like they are doing things like this to show Luke IS incompetent enough so the shit in the sequel trilogy feels somewhat justified. See? Its not character assassination if we retcon the character into always being this way even before it.
Fucking Disney...
Remember, Grogu is a retarded baby, but also a Jedi Master. He makes baby noises and is confused. Yet can have normal conversations using the force.
I find the character entertaining but fuck is he ill-conceived as a long term character.
I feel like Grogu is a concept, an idea to hook people for Mando. But there is clear no long term plan, without mentioning that we know that Grogu will either die or disappear at some point since it doesnt make any sense for him to not appear at any point in the sequel trilogy if thats the case.
Some people say that he will take over the order when he is old enough, probably after MaRey Sue kicks the bucket but I dont buy it.
