This looks awesome! Hopefully it can live up to some of the hype.
For the record, Mandalorian is awesome, although while Season 3 is still good overall it feels like a dip in the quality so far. Boba Fett, while having some cool moments, was probably the biggest letdown of all the LiVE action star wars up to this point, with them going with the lamest villains in all of the galaxy! Obiwan I really enjoyed, but still did not live up to the hype.

Andor for me is the high water mark, but that none of the series have been outright bad. I like the character of Ahsoka, and know people have really ridden with her journey for many years now. I hope this will live up to their expectations.

That wink wink nudge nudge of saying Thrawn is the Heir To The Empire got me smiling

Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera is a casting choice I am 100% here for.

He was retconned into a badass because his action figure sold really well but in my heart he can never live down getting chumped out in ROTJ.

It definitely feels like between this and the announcement of Dave Filoni’s film, that they’re taking the basic concept of the classic Thrawn trilogy of books and reworking it to fit the current canon.

Yeah, this makes me wonder if Filoni's movie is going to be a new canon remake of the Thrawn trilogy. I really want to know about the orange lightsaber-using people though. Definitely not Jedi by the looks of things (clearly Dark Siders), but also not Sith. Wonder if the older guy is Jorus/Joruus C'baoth.
Apparently orange lightsaber guy is NOT Jorus or Joruus. BUT HE SHOULD BE.

I don't think Thrawn would translate well to movies. You definitely want a series to get across just how genius the guy is.

One thing the OG canon dvd the expanded canon can agree on: Palpaltine’s jedi purge was an abject failure. That’s what you get when you rely on stormtroopers. Might as well have hired mall cops.

I never got round to watching any of Rebels, so, this is kinda making me feel like I should do at least the Cliffs Notes for them.

Getting Lars Mikkelsen to play Thrawn in live action is so freakin' awesome. He absolutely killed it as his voice in Rebels.
David Tennant coming back as the Crucible droid from Clone Wars is pretty cool, too.

{Spoiler}{Spoiler}As Rex. Honestly, I would be really disappointed if he wasn't there.

{Spoiler}{SPOILER: CLICK TO SHOW} With the advanced aging of the Clones, Rex would be almost 90 at this rate. He was pushing 70 during Rebels.
