In Lost Stars, one of the main characters is stationed aboard the Death Star. After the Alderaan attack he was part of a squadron that was sent to investigate Dantooine. So I would assume he survived that way. Or there were other stranded TIEs like Vader's.

Plausible. He didn't display a strong survival instinct given the way he taunted Cara.  :P

The show is supposed to happen some 20 years before all went tits up with Luke's Jedi academy, no? So there's still plenty of time to get Grogu involved, although since he's still essentially a baby after 50 years, he won't be developing much...

Considering Yoda lived to be 900-something, and Grogu is 50, I just divide their age by 10 to guess what their equivalent human age is (though Grogu seems a tad slow for a 5 year old :P ).

To be fair to Grogu, he's spent years (even decades?) in captivity as a guinea pig. That's probably not going to help his cognitive development.

The only thing I really missed was a bit more on Grogu's story since he survived Order 66, but I guess that will fleshed out in the appropiate tie-ins, Disney needs its money.  :P

I was particularly intrigued in how did he first escape from Novarro's facility. I presume somebody helped him.

Yes, the blur was distracting. I'm not sure if it was better or worse than Tarking in Rogue One.

Fans were suggesting Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier) as a possible recast for a young Luke.

Random thought: Sasha Banks wrestling Boba Fett was fun!

Also, we see again that Bo-Katan is used to being in a leadership role and has a lot of experience - her detailing the plan for the assault was showcasing that nicely. "This is what we deal with, this is what we do. Questions? Good."

Also, Ming-Na Wen who plays Fennec Shand is 57 years old :o

Somehow it bothered me less than ancient James Earl Jones voicing Darth Vader.

It also kind of makes me wish I had become an agent, I could get a nice portfolio of dead actors to represent.

Mark Hamill isn't dead  :lol:

I was talking about Peter Cushing. I would still have to wait to get Hamill as a client.

As an aside, I distinctly remember from my IP Law classes that dead people had no image rights, except in the state of California (because Hollywood). Might have changed since then, though.

Btw, do you think Luke found it weird, that he got to watch a dad take off his helmet for his (adopted) child? :P

That moment would have carried more emotional weight if he hadn't previously removed it for Bill Burr  :P

The High Republic novel will release on 5th January. Apparently, there's also going to be a kids' novel, a YA novel, a comic series, and an animated show (The Acolyte). Looks like Disney is really testing the waters on this, kinda like the Shadows of the Empire project in 1996 where Lucasfilm did everything they would for a movie (book, comics, games, soundtrack, toys) to gauge interest in the franchise.

It seems I mixed that up. :unsure:
