For the last 24 years this is the one thing I have truly wanted from Star Wars.

---

First series I read about SW. So pumped to see it come through. Curious who they'll cast as Wedge and Corran. Do we see Hobie lose limbs as is the Star Wars way?

Kind of a side note, but Disney announced that starting in March, Disney+ is increasing price to $7.99/month

Holy sh*t.

I... I actually kind of teared up at this?

That's pretty spectacular.

Someone help me on Rogue Squadron....the only thing from Star Wars with this title I'm familiar with is the N64 game which was pretty awesome.

I'm assuming this is a book series? How many books and this late in the game are they worth the read?

---

Michael Stackpole wrote the X-wing series (4 books starting with Rogue Squadron) in the 90s and it was great - my second favorite Legends book series after the Thrawn trilogy. It has some familiar characters like Wedge and small appearances by Luke and Leia, but largely follows new characters who are the new members of the squadron

Aaron Allston wrote more X-wing books which was a continuation with some of the same characters but I am less familiar with those

How much of all of this do you think actually gets made?

So Vader and Obi-Wan will meet between ROTS and ANH?

Wouldn't this change the context of the encounter on The Death Star a bit?

---

VADER
I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again, at last. The circle is now complete.

When I left you, I was but the learner; now I am the master.

BEN
Only a master of evil, Darth.

I think there's enough leeway in that dialogue to have them meet since Mustafar.

Yep. Good call. In other words, Obi-Wan is still the master after their Disney+ encounter.

And also still learning the dark side

I need a nap after all of this...and a new Mando episode drops in a few hours!

Vader being a master now might also mean he has an apprentice... Maybe we get hints of that here?

At first blush, I find myself pretty wary of a show that reunites Vader and Kenobi at a 10-year interval between ROTS and ANH. Obi-Wan's mandate at the end of ROTS is clear - watching over Luke. Any sort of adventure off Tatooine puts that mission in serious jeopardy; anything that would bring Vader back to Tatooine likewise - Luke is 10 years old when this series is set.

About the only plot line that my feeble brain is willing to except at this point is Obi-Wan, upon realizing Anakin is still alive as Vader, gets some sort of communication from him and thinks he can still turn him back to the light, but it's a trap by Vader and Palps to lure the last of the Jedi - him and Yoda I would presume - out of hiding.

I know this is not now nor has it ever been canon, but in the EU Corran Horn rightly pointed out to Luke how idiotic it would be to hide the son of Vader on the planet Vader was born on and allow him to walk around using the name Skywalker. He theorized that Kenobi and Yoda wanted Vader to find out Luke was alive on Tatooine and use that as a trap to lure Vader out where they could deal with him. I always liked that theory. Although I guess based on Revenge of the Sith Luke would have been born and taken by Obi-wan at a point when Obi-wan believe Anakin was left for dead on Mustafar? I agree this showdown poses some problems from a lore perspective, but there are ways they can work around it I'm sure.
