There's talk of an Ahsoka Tano spinoff from the Mandalorian.

Maybe my expectations were too high. I wasn't impressed. A total meh from me.

People have over-hyped it for sure. It is a solid show, and a great foundation to build upon. Since it is a Star Wards property and it isn't a burning pile of shit, it appears to be solid gold by comparison. I think you should give it a second watch through maybe. I'd say it's a solid B with a bright future.

What the hell do you think Star Wars IS?
The Mandalorian is fun as shit. And that's all it has to be.

If this had been a brand new universe with unknown characters rehashing Western stories and circumstances, it might not make it past the first season. |

It maybe means a bit more to some (not all...) fans in my age group, who have wanted something like this from Star Wars for literally decade. Something set in the seedier side of the galaxy, without the simple black and white of the Jedi/sith conflict. Something set around smugglers and bounty hunters. And we finally got it. After a half dozen movies that completely lost the core of Star Wars this just feels like a return to the way Star Wars felt to kids in the 80s.
I've watched the series three times, and I've enjoyed it more each time. It just resonates with me. |

Disney Plus ‘Rogue One’ Spinoff Adds Stellan Skarsgard, Kyle Soller Tony Gilroy, who co-wrote “Rogue One,” is set to write the pilot for the series in addition to directing multiple episodes. He will work alongside series showrunner Stephen Schiff. Disney had previously indicated the show would debut in 2021, but it is unknown if the recent industry-wide shutdown caused but he COVID-19 pandemic will alter the premiere. Same goes for a production start date, which is still unknown due to the pandemic. The untitled show focuses on Rebel agent Andor prior to the events of “Rogue One” in the early days of the Rebellion against the Empire. The show had been described as a “spy thriller” when plans for it were first revealed last year. It was also previously announced that Diego Luna would return as Andor, while Alan Tudyk is set to reprise his role as K-2SO, Andor’s droid sidekick. Skarsgard is coming off his critically acclaimed role in “Chernobyl,” which earned him an Emmy nomination and can be seen next in Legendary’s “Dune” adaptation. He is repped by CAA and Curtis Brown Group. The role is one of Soller biggest jobs in his career after years of cutting his teeth on British TV shows like “101 Dalmation Street” and “Poldark.” He was recently seen in the HBO movie “Brexit” opposite Benedict Cumberbatch. He is repped by Hamilton Hoddel, Hhush and Gersh. ------- Wow, this is a nice bit of casting to go along with Alan Tudyk and Diego Luna. |

Hopefully this show will actually make me care about Cassian Andor, the character, because the movie certainly didn't.
