Mando handing over to Luke for training seems like the most logical thing to happen, but I definitely don't expect it to go there. I hope we don't learn too much about Yoda's origins. We know basically nothing about him and his species besides the fact that they are long lived and strong in the force. I suppose we can assume they reproduce sexually since there was Yaddle on the Jedi Council. So you know, you're welcome for that visual. Baby is the result of a booty call Yoda made fifty years ago. That is my canon. Long days on the Jedi Council turn into long nights that Yoda and Yaddle spend together. Why do you think she left the council before Attack of the Clones? She had to go take care of Baby Yoda!

I know I keep saying it when I catch up but God this show rules.
And I honestly didn’t expect to say this outside of occasional moments where I wanted him in a ghost sequence for the Creed movies but man, I need more Carl Weathers in my life. Dude brought it.

Also, now that John Williams isn’t doing Star Wars scores anymore, can we get Ludwig Göransson on main scoring duty now? Don’t care where it is, just get him on that shit!

Loved the finale.
In regards to them being clueless about the Jedi or not jumping to that conclusion immediately, it is worth noting that the hard number for active Jedi during the prequels was 10,000 (not including younglings, I believe). Which, yeah, that does sound like a lot.
But we're talking about 10,000 Jedi spread across an entire galaxy, a galaxy that has thousands of planets with races and cultures. So I could believe people not seeing them firsthand or only getting third hand accounts.
It's worth noting too that post-prequels Palpatine did everything in his power to bury the Jedi, first doing a smear campaign against them for the first few years and then just straight up trying to erase them from history. Trying to make people believe there were fewer than there were and that they were more outdated of an idea than they actually were.
Then you consider this is after Return of the Jedi, and Luke's involvement (based on the new Expanded Universe's materials and what little is said about it in the sequel trilogy) in the Empire's defeat was generally kept on the down low (outside of those in the Rebel Alliance and the higher-up's within the New Republic) and...yeah, I can buy a couple of randos that were never terribly important in the grand scheme of things may only have vague notions of this mythical thing called The Force and the Jedi.

If EU characters became canon I'd cast Jeff Bridges as Joruus C'Baoth, I'd just tweak him a little so he's not a Clone of one but a Jedi who went mad during the Clone Wars

I’m five episodes in now and while it’s been good it hasn’t reached “great” yet.

Now I want to see Jason Isaacs as a live action Thrawn. Looking at images of Lars Mikkelson (the actor that voiced Thrawn in Rebels) and I think he could also pull off a live action version.

For me the show really varied with the quality of the cast and characters. The MMA girl, the older guy, IG-11 and the Ugnaught were all great. I was sad when Griff died but I was also worried that he might stab the Mandalorian in the back. That band of mercs that tried to screw him, that new Hunter and that mechanic lady looked like bargain basement actors and it really cheapened the show. It felt like I was watching cheap crap like Lexx or Hercules from the 1990’s.
So I really liked episodes 1, 2, 7 and 8.
But it’s normal for shows to have a cool down in the middle of a season.

Are we talking about the band of mercs that included Mark Boone from Sons of Anarchy, Bill Burr from Breaking Bad and Clancy Brown from Pet Semetary 2 (I say this unironically)? I respectfully disagree.

Natalia Tena (Harry Potter, Game of Thrones) and Richard Ayoade (The IT Crowd) are really strong gets for the supporting cast too.

As someone who has watched a lot of him, I don't know how you couldn't know that was Richard Ayoade. His voice is ridiculously distinct.

I love how they use something called virtual stages for this show, which ILM calls "stagecraft". It renders a set in complete 3D virtual reality and cameras can move around it and it's like the set is really there as opposed to just a single projected image. There's parallax there. It could be a real game-changer for CGI since it allows the actors to interact with a backdrop as if it's really there as opposed to relying entirely on green screens. I just came across this article elsewhere, somehow missed it being posted here. This is so incredible. It is like moving post production to pre-production.
