They are making the same mistake they made with the recent movies. It's too much at once. Just focus on another season of The Mandalorian, and give people the return of Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan they've been dying for. No one asked for any of this other shit, just like no one asked for a movie about Han Solo making the Kessel run in 12 parsecs.

I hope the series is Bastilla rebuilding the order after KOTOR For a second I thought this said Batista. Batista plays Darth Sion. Make it so.

I think they need something completely off the wall, like CHEERS but it's a bar on Sullust and Sam is a washed up podracer.

No one asked for any of this other shit, just like no one asked for a movie about Han Solo making the Kessel run in 12 parsecs. Nobody was asking for a show about a random, unknown non-Fett Mandalorian either. If the shows are good, I don’t care how many are in production. It’s not like they’re gonna drop all this stuff at once. And I stand by my opinion the problem wasn’t them doing a Solo movie, the problem was them doing a boring ass Solo movie. Pretty much everything interesting about the story in that movie is exposition to set up the boring ass story they told. Give me a movie about his time in the academy and getting kicked out, or focus on his younger days on Corellia. But the story of him getting the Falcon and becoming a smuggler? Meh. We didn’t need a fluff origin story, give us something new to sink our teeth into

The battle where he meets Woody Harrelson's gang and Chewie would've been a fine place to end a Solo origin story focused on his years in academy. Make the sequel about his time as a shady two-bit smuggler, and leave the intervening years between that movie and A New Hope to our imaginations.

Also, I share the same opinion as you with the Solo movie. But still, no one was asking for it, and it was one Star Wars movie too many in too short a time period.

We didn’t need a fluff origin story, give us something new to sink our teeth into Eh. I tip toe on the Solo thing. But I do agree with the gist of your second paragraph. That does sound sort-of cool. But we did end up with a boring-ass, average movie. Mandalorian also had the advantage of being its own, original thing, appearance stemming from Boba Fett notwithstanding. I thought Alden did alright (better than Gambino) but people were also going to tie the character with Ford. Like I’ve heard rumblings and rumors of them re-casting a young Luke, would that go over well?

They definitely f***ed up releasing that so close to TLJ. As underwhelming as the movie was, it might have stood a chance if it was released in December instead

If you’ve got stories to tell with Luke, stick to comics, novels and animation for now. Hell, I’m still unsure how I feel about the idea of casting a live action Ahsoka

Anything over the age of 14 should be off-limits. That’s too close to Hamill in a New Hope.

Figured it would happen sooner rather than later.

The Cassian series baffles me. I honestly can't remember him at all.

Meh, the Bad Batch arc on Clone Wars was probably the least memorable of that final season. Rex was probably the best part of those episodes and he's not even apart of the squad.
Between this and the Cassian Andor series I don't understand why Filoni is so interested in these uninteresting characters.

Clone shoots someone else: "Now was that civilized? No clearly not. Fun, but in no sense civilized!"

Well, it's spearheaded by Dave Filoni so there's a major plus going for it. Between this and the Cassian Andor series I don't understand why Filoni is so interested in these uninteresting characters. It's probably the easiest way to get a story in that part of the timeline greenlit, plus it grabs onto the nostalgia bug and uses it to get an already existing audience. Grab something that already exists, expand on it. Also, some creators see an "uninteresting character" and say "ooh, challenge accepted."

Filoni is one of the, if not the, main reason anyone has as much of an affinity for the clones as they do. So why not take the challenge? Besides, what's the worst that could happen? It goes one season and doesn't get picked up for another? I doubt it'll be a long series to begin with.
