Managed to get hold of the first 3 episodes. Unfortunately the baby Yoda thing was already spoiled for me as its literally everywhere.Im digging the show. You can tell Filoni is involved, as getting a very TCW/Rebels vibe from it.

Yeah Favreau and Filoni seems to be a winning combination.
As much shit as we give Filoni for playing favourites with the characters, he clearly does get Star Wars, and was mentored by Lucas for like 10years.

This could be a possibility with the success so far of the Mando. And depending how the series plays out could also set up new movies after the new trilogy ends, without Kathleen Kennedy at the helm.
Hopefully the new trilogy ends and we can be done with all the awful new characters introduced and start with new stories and characters that have nothing to do with the Skywalkers.
Like new Jedi/Sith/Mando characters starting new stories with new lore , etc. Especially if the yoda child survives and is hidden away somewhere. All this can add up to interesting new movies/trilogies, etc.
This are my thought on the new trilogy.

The story is not good either but its the characters that ruin it for me. You can still have a sub par story and good characters can carry it.
Poe is the only new character i would consider good. Rey and Kylo are just ok only a small percentage of the time. The rest of the new cast are garbo. I could care less about their adventures, their growth, or if they die.Take for example Rogue One. Most of the characters introduced in that film were good imo. And that is only 1 film. The new trilogy cast has had 3 movies to grow and they still suck.
I can even argue that the characters from the Solo movie are better than characters like Phasma, Fin, Rose, Holdo, etc.
Besides the fact it doesn't "feel" organically like Starwars as i said before.
It feels like a movie trying to be Starwars as best they can and failing at it. Cant put my finger on it but it has a very manufactured forced feel to it.
All the new characters are like "Hey look at us we definitely belong in this universe, look how Starwarsy we are" "This is all the stuff you love and remember". "Please accept us"
When its done right, you dont even give a second thought to its authenticity and it belonging to this universe. Like the Mando, it doesn't even have much dialog , but its well written and the creators are long time SW fans and instead of trying to reinvent the wheel they just improve on it.
