I actually like the trailer. Sure seems like a kid's adventure. But at least it's an adventure. Not had that in a long while from Star Wars.

so it's basically the goonies... in space?
Darth Thor
^ Yeah looks like. With a bit of Jedi in the mix.
Total Warrior
I don't mind it. Do we know when this is set?
Darth Thor
^ Mandalorian era I think. Which just means more Jedi who can't survive to the sequels

Total Warrior
Oh I see, I thought it was set before the prequels. Well maybe that guy is just an untrained force user, like Rieve from Star Wars: Hunters
Still that's true, EP VII kinda killed lots of potential storylines and characters because at the end of the day you know they must all be gone somehow by 34 ABY. Hope it gets retconned somehow
Darth Thor
^ They'll have to all go to that planet where Cal is hiding. Except they get marooned there for decades
Fair point that Jude Law's character might not be a Jedi.
Total Warrior
Yes, or end up in Thrawn's galaxy

New trailer.
Actually looks really fun.
Total Warrior
yeah it does
Total Warrior
So you watching it?
Darth Thor
^ Yup I'm caught up. Loving it tbh. Like Goonies meets classic Star Wars. Love the whole Pirate with the Force thing Jod/Jack has going on. And not had this feeling of Adventure from Disney Star Wars since the first season of Rebels.
Just hate the short episode format week by week. Might binge like the last 4 together or something. Won't watch less than two at a time.

I love this show and I think it's the third best Disney Star Wars production behind it's best, which is Rogue One, followed by Andor and equal to or slightly better than the first season of The Mandalorian. It has a perfect adventurous feel to it and hopefully the franchise can us this to slowly build itself back up and out of the horrendous narrative quagmire that is the Disney Sequel Trilogy.

It's a very entertaining series with a lot of surprising mystery. This is Star Wars starring kids done right (for kids done wrong - I'm still looking at you, Phantom Menace.) And props for Easter eggs in the first episode that only the most hardcore Star Wars fan would recognize (hint: they are related to the original, unaltered version of A New Hope, AND the Star Wars Holiday Special!)

Watched the first two, I do like it thus far. Definitely has a Goonies-In-Space feel as others noted. Here's hoping it doesn't turn to complete shit.
Darth Thor
^ Didnt quite like how he was the main baddy. Would have preferred a redeemable quality to him, which to be fair they kinda hinted at, in the sense that he could have pirated At-Attin easily if he just killed the kids and their parents. But still he was a fun character and would have liked the kids redeeming him into a not so bad pirate.
Still enjoyable adventure series regardless. Most sense of adventure/fun Ive seen from Star Wars since the first season of Rebels.

The kids were fine in TPM. It was Jar Jar who made parts of the film too kiddish.
I believe Lucas draft for Episode 7 had young kids but Disney threw them out because they were all paranoid about a repeat of TPM. They instead thought a complete rehash of the OT would make a much better ST facepalm
I personally think kids were the way to go for the sequels. I mean its not like Lucas was directing them.
A Harry Potter style Jedi Academy story/adventure where Luke is the Dumbledore would have been epic Imo. Even if it ended up being slightly kiddish for me, I would have appreciated them going forward and expanding the Universe that way.

this was surprisingly good.
Darth Thor
^ Because it was stupidly aimed at 40year old fans of the OT who hated the PT. When it should have IMO just been a new trilogy for a new generation, not specifically for OT or PT fans (they were both going to give the ST a shot regardless).
Agreed on Nawood. Just would have liked more of a bond between him and the kids in S1.
Robtard
One more EP to go, very solid series. Glad it didn't Boba Fett itself.

I wonder who killed Nawoods master? If it was an Inquisitor or Stormtroopers/Clone Troopers they would have certainly killed him as well I'm thinking.
Total Warrior
I think it was the Inquisitors. He said they tortured her, it's a sick thing only inquisitors would do. And yeah, since he was force sensitive they would most likely have taken him in to fortress Inquisitorius to be experimented on like the other kids. So, either they believed he was just a random kid and they enjoyed making him watch her die and then let him go, or he managed to run away
Darth Thor
Either that or Stormtroopers mistook him for a random kid. Not a Padawan/Jedi youngling.
juggernaut74
Well if they made him watch I'm assuming they knew they were connected somehow and that it would effect him. Sounds like something pirates would do honestly.

Hmm that would explain how he ends up if he was adopted by Pirates, but not sure why Pirates would be interested in Jedi (The Empire put out a "dead or alive" on all Jedi maybe?).
Total Warrior
^I think that was the case. Wasn't it stated in Cal's videogames that there are bounties on the Jedi?
Darth Thor
^ Dont remember but makes sense.
