Rebels for me mostly because of the amount of episodes and the story and universe building. It does a nice job of creating new stories while complimenting the existing universe.

But Mando is really stepping up and if we get another 20, 30, 40 episodes it could be right up there.

Maybe even drop some Thrawn in......

Oh my days!!! Thrawn!?! Could you imagine...?
Internet would be down for ages!

Who would you see playing him....
Charles Dance a bit too old now. I’ve been watching The Crown, the guy who plays The Queens private secretary in Season 1... hmmm need to think about this..

Give it to that Mikkelson fella that voiced him in Rebels. He has the cold calculating voice, but also has the right steeley eyed look.

How old is Thrawn, in earth years.
I had him down in his late 50’s/60’s

No idea, but yeah, I'd have him at about 50-ish, just due to his role in the empire.......to wookiepedia......

Come on, this guy is born to play Thrawn...

Could work. Definitely looks to have the body shape

I read that trilogy when it came out in the early 90s. Couple of others too. When I moved to the us I came with a back pack of clothes and two suitcases of books and music.

Thrawns gathering dust on a bookshelf these days. Probably worth a read again.

Sounds like you came to the US with as little as me. Personally i wasn't sure if i would stay so had a return flight for three months later. Big mistake, they were immediately suspicious as a three month holiday is unheard of in the US so they detained me with all the shifty Russians and Latinos of the day. It took a few hours but they eventually let me through. The rest as they say is history.

Might have to give those books a try. Not ever read any Star Wars

Yeah I’m sold. I finish for the year on Dec 16th. Found my reading for the moments I won’t be balls deep in festive football

I think they are a great starting point and if you like star wars, you will not be disappointed.

Agree. Really enjoyed them at the time. There didn’t look like there’d ever be more movies back then so the novels seemed to be the genuine sequels to the original movies

The only star wars book i bought had IG88 on the front cover, not ever read it mind, may have to look for that as well. Always had a soft spot for the bounty hunters, Bossk in particular.

Random thought of the day, did anyone ever own Snaggletooth? That little bastrd always eluded me

Todays episode better be good, loads of action please

Crap episode. Fell asleep half way through so had to rematch it and it didn't get better 2nd time.

Another great episode. Really made great use of the extended run time to develop the story. Great style and feel to it. They done a great job in creating live action Ahsoka. The look was good but the way she moved when fighting was perfect.

A wee bit of big character name dropping and the potential for more Jedi. Lovely

Can someone clarify, in the last Ep, the imperial officer recording, he said ‘M-count’
Midiclorians right?

Yes Stringer
