I am really debating i I want to wait a month for some episodes to build up, since that's how I watched Mandalorian and it worked pretty well.

But I really wanna see Boba so i might be impatient

I think I'll just wait for it all to release before watching. I'm sick of this weekly release crap. Fortunately, it's only 7 episodes.

Disney: Every character that lived is dead. Every character that died is alive.

It has to be a conscious decision at this point.

I can only think of two examples of them reviving supposedly dead characters under Disney. And one of those was clearly a great move on their part if they're making a show about it.

Yeah it's a weekly. I'll be checking it out tomorrow. :)

I hope they can put together something interesting besides "crime guy and other crime guys do crimes I guess".

We'll see.

What was the other one?

Also Boba Fett surviving his Sarlacc vacation isn't a new concept. People were pushing it as early as the 90s.

Bringing back Boba Fett feels super desperate and unnecessary. The series might be good but the entire concept is so against what I want Star Wars to be doing.

It's literally something Star Wars did decades ago. He's one of the most popular characters in all of sci-fi/fantasy history, and it has been widely accepted since at least the 90s that he didn't die in the Sarlacc.

Where have you been? Lol

Personally, I don't really have a concept of what direction I want Star Wars to go in. I just want it to be engaging and entertaining.

I had no real expectations for The Mandalorian, but I thought it was great overall.

New characters and settings. Stop dredging up old retired fan favourites and focus on new ones.

Then again whenever we get that with stuff like Rebels or Resistance people don't give them the time of day, but slurp up 100 episodes of animated Obi-Wan and Anakin quipping so I'm likely in the minority.

Fennec Shand is a new character and she's one of the leads in this show. The Mandalorian is new.

Mixing the old in with the new keeps the universe tied together, keeps fans happy, and makes for some truly badass outcomes.

Yeah that's the thing, isn't it? I'm totally with you on wanting new stories, but as you say, the heavy engagement comes from locking people in by promising them characters they recognize and giving them the nostalgia.

Even Mandalorian pulls from Fett love, but I also think they nailed it with their high concept and aesthetic, which is a rarity for Star Wars to get off the ground.

I mean seriously where can you find some good heady discussion on High Republic right now?

Widely accepted in officially licensed fanfiction. Comics and cartoons don't count for anything. Bringing him back in live action is what canonizes him as still being alive. And it's shit.

Yes, he's an awesome character. But sometimes, a story calls for a character to die. He died - on screen - in a manner befitting his role in the story. There's no need to bring a character back just because they're cool or whatever.

I think this in particular is a silly statement. In the films he was nothing more than window dressing. A very impressive and imposing window dressing that obviously garnered him a lot of attention, but treating his "death" in ROTJ as the culmination of his character arc or something is absolutely off-base, because he was never a "character" for those films. He was just a device to capture Han and move the gang to Tatooine for ROTJ.

Like use "he's not important enough to be a title character" and that's not something I can argue against, but this is a weird place to take the argument.

Perfect, they just finished Hawkeye so now I got a new series to look forward to.

I gotta hand it to Disney, they know how to put together a release schedule.

He absolutely did not do that, lol. We saw him fall down into the mouth. We didn't see him die. It's a pretty noteworthy detail that the Sarlacc "slowly digests you for a thousand years."

Falling in doesn't kill you. Given how strapped he is with weapons, armor, and a (busted) jetpack, it's not at all unfeasible that he managed to make a narrow escape one way or another.
