And (at least so far) no one is trying to save the universe from another damn Death Star.
I really hope either at the end of this show, or in the next movie we find some Jedi on a planet in the outer rim who are like "yeah we had a prophecy to just lay low for the last 70 years because history was going to be repetitive and dumb.
I hope that this show will make Disney aware that there is a lot more interest in the Star Wars universe than only jedi based stories or "grand epic trilogies"
I would think Rogue One did that.
I'm ready for them to find the Jedi version of the Children of the Watch living on the Outer Rim. The look down on people that can't use the force and call the muggels.

Probably spinoff from this episode:
The story about the great purge of Mandalor, and Bo Katans loss of the DS, and mission to get it back reuniting the planet/people
Also if we are going down the Asoka/Ezra rabbit hole, does that mean there is a chance for Thrawn?
Please dear Baby Yoda, do the magic hand thing and give us Thrawn!

I think that one was tied enough into the main story that they could attribute it to the original trilogy, even though I personally agree with you.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Hoping Asokha is handed The Child, gasps, and says, "It's ... it's .. a BABY YODA" and the winks at the camera.
Star Wars nerds right now

And then run the laugh track or the canned "ahhhhh".

SO made me eggs and coffee this morning. So sweet. Then as I'm putting my first bite into my mouth, SO asks"you know who else likes eggs? Baby yoda". "TOO SOON!"
I really wanted alternate takes in all LOTR movies where the person who says the title of the movie does a Ferris Bueller look at the camera when they do.MuckRaker96 said:

Elrond in FOTR
Saruman in TTT
Gandalf in ROTK

That's the exact shot I pointed as having really impressed me. You could convince me that's 100% real.
I wonder if we will look back at this scene like we do with stop motion or rear projection and think "damn thank God we arent still using these types of effects"
Give me a James Bond movie with rear projection any day
Baby Yoda is officially a space traveler.

I don't think so, since the advent of computer animation we're just honing in on and refining that truly photoreal look.
Things like rear projection or stop motion didn't truly look "real", but they were the best we could do at the time and were a big step up from earlier techniques (and can still be cool stylistic options even now). But you can go back as early as Jurassic Park and find CG work that's still almost flawless in terms of integration and believability.
VFX are getting better as far being able to do more technically perfect work with all kinds of complex things in a single shot (like this example) and there will continue to be improvements in the processes and technology, but for the most part it'll just be incremental improvements on what's already being done.
The software is just better and able to do more complex things and the hardware is (far) faster.

Actually had the same thought while watching this episode. You could almost work yourself to the point where you could....dare I say it.....redo the ST or more realistically effectively ignore it going forward as if it never really happened.TCTTS said:

Yeah, that could very well be the play. Not so much erase the ST, but The Mandalorian and its potential spin-offs become the unofficial "prequels" to the ST, and could then maybe even go up to and alongside the ST, just in a different part of the galaxy.
Btw, how far out from the ST are we?
[Looking it up...]
- We're five years after ROTJ, but still 25 years from the ST.
- Kylo is currently four years old.
- Rey won't be born for another six years.
So for The Mandalorian to eventually "replace" the ST, as events transpiring simultaneously but in another part of the galaxy, we still have quite a long way to go. So I take it back, as that's probably not likely. But yeah, in spirit, this whole Mando/Bo-Katan/Ahsoka/Gideon/whoever else saga could at least eventually set up the ST world in the broadest terms, become the unofficial "prequels" to the ST, and even become the de facto "sequel trilogy" in terms of the story that audiences are more drawn to post-ROTJ, when all is said and done.

They should just treat the ST as some minor regional events that didn't effect most people.
The movies (in their own ham fisted way) actually set that up. The new central government doesn't have much control, most people don't care about either side, and the First Order/ resistance are both pretty small.
Have Mando lead into some pre ST movie about Luke wondering the galaxy in search of Jedi **** and then have him leave the plot somewhere far away in the galaxy where no one cares about anything from the ST. Then if you need, you could bring Rey back in later and everyone can be like "oh you're a Jedi too? Cool. "
The whole ST as a kind of cheesy Rey backstory is probably the best way to salvage it.

I'm definitely curious to see if this side of things ever comes close to even sniffing the Luke/Leia/Han of it all. I can't imagine we'll ever see those actors again, or digital, de-aged versions of them, but I do wonder if they'll be referenced not in historical fashion, but as people currently doing this or that over in another part of the galaxy.

Would be so great if they did this. Basically make it the equivalent to the conflict in Yemen.

I am shocked Leia hasn't been namedropped
Man, y'all do this every time...mention stuff about the sequels and send me spiraling down into the abyss...
and when I come out of it...I bring back something else that makes no sense.
The opening crawl of The Last Jedi says the First Order reigns and has seized military control of the Galaxy. Then a bunch of their ships chase the The Last Cruiser and end up getting mostly destroyed? Then Kylo takes over and goes on his quest for the Emperor...leaving all the alleged FO military just running things across the galaxy? The final battle blows up a bunch of Sith star destroyers...but the rest of the FO is still in control all over the galaxy? Or did he order the remaining First Order to take control of the sith destroyers before he turned good...and the final battle, in fact, wiped out all that was left of the First Order?
I mean, it's all just such a mess, or maybe I hated it so much I'm blocking out key pieces of information that unravel this clusterf-ck?

If "key" pieces of info are that easy to block out, they were never key in the first place. They did a sh*tty job executing it all, full stop, and you only underline why.
Screw it... let's just do world between worlds and burn the ST down
Have all the Mandalorians we've seen so far been wearing Deathwatch blue?
Wait a minute, you guys didnt like the sequels?
