Theory on Commander Cody's future

So in Stuart Beattie's original drafts for Kenobi when it was a movie before other writers including Joby Harold took over. Cody defected from the Empire (sound familiar) and eventually found Obi-Wan and made amends with him and was set to help his former general keep an eye on Luke from a distance when he had to go off world and eventually he would be involved/end his story in an unknown last mission with his general as he was racing against the clock age wise.

But how does Cody find Obi-Wan? well what would make most sense is if Ventress is next up for a spin-off from the Bad Batch with her and Quinlan helping the path with Bail just around or after the events of Kenobi, then it would make sense if Cody proved himself throughout the years and redeemed himself by helping them safeguard young force sensitives. Eventually the older Cody through conversations with Bail would learn Cody was Obi-Wans comrade and Cody was the Clone Commander of Obi-Wans clone forces.

Bail then would verify he has been de-chiped and ask Obi-Wan could they reunite. Obi-Wan gives the go ahead for them to reunite and it sets up after Kenobi Season 1, either through animation or it leaves the door open for more Kenobi if they wish to re-adapt the old Cody and Old Ben storyline in live action, but regardless an arc like this with Cody helping out Ventress and Quinlan and helping the children the Empire wants to kidnap sounds like a perfect arc for Cody .

Do you think that Barriss Offee lives past Tales of the Empire? Hoping that we see Rosario's Ahsoka face off against her. 🙏🤞

Barris gets killed by Vader in TOTE

Barris Offee will get killed by Darth Vader in TOTE. It seems as though in TOTE it will show the full recruitment of being an inquisitor all the way to meeting Vader and once she meets him, he will remember her for what she did to Ahsoka and kill her. Infront of the others to be made an example out of.

Timing of Bad Batch S3 Episodes

I've noticed there have been just enough double-episodes in S3 of TBB for the series finale to be just days before Star Wars Day. Does anyone else think the viewing schedule was compressed because of a set up or reveal that Star Wars Day would otherwise spoil? Like a spin off or link to another show/comic?

We all know who the clone assassin is. (Bad Batch spoilers)

This one has to be Tech. I’ve called it since before season 3 came out. No body, Tech isn’t dead. No way they ONLY found the goggles.

We have the assassins. Strong they are, yes. But they have all died. If this guy was a normal assassin then he would have died when he fell off the big waterfall. The fact he is time and time again surviving and coming back means when the mask comes off there will be that big reveal.

Especially since in this week’s episodes (10 & 11) we see Tech being emphasized. His goggles brought up and put up as the biggest checkov’s gun this series has had so far.

They did it with Echo, they’ll do it with Tech.

He isn’t dead and Tech is that assassin

The Foreshadowing between Tales of Jedi, Clone Wars, Bad Batch and Star Wars Rebels

When Anakin sees Kanan passed with his master Depa Billaba in the episode from tales of Jedi, you realize that in Rebels they will never forgive that what happened in Bad Batch

A speculation on a future animated series, with an ending for S3 of the Bad Batch

Spoilers for TBB S3E9 ahead.

Okay, so assuming that Omega is force sensitive (I'll explain myself in the comments if you want), I have a theory on how the ending of TBB could go. If the show is going to end in a dark way, and I think [spolier?] I've heard Michelle Ang say they took the darker of two roads [end of "spoiler?"], it might be that all the original batchers will die and Omega will get captured. As their last move prior to that, the Batch sends a distress call that Omega needs saving and that is where Asajj and Quinlan might come in. I think that Asajj was interested enough to come on Pabu because she is working together with Quinlan in the Path, in which case she went to see if any Jedi was found and needed joining with the Path. So Quinlan and Asajj rescue Omega, say, on her way to Tantiss, or perhaps even from there?, and her journey continues on with them.

This would then lead us to the new animated series, which would focus on the Path and the Purge, and I think it would be quite interesting as it would focus on the Jedi. It would also feature Vader and Inquisitors and we could see many interesting things there.

CX-2's Identity

There's been a lot of speculation about who CX-2 is. People have said "Tech", a regular clone, "Crosshair", a clone of Crosshair, and things like that. I have a different theory with evidence:

CX-2 is Echo.

Why do I say this?

#1. His name. Echo. That's what happens when a sound is reflected back at you. When a sound is duplicated and gives off the illusion that it came from someone else, when it was really you.

#2. CX-2's heat signature has no reading for his legs. Echo has prosthetic legs. It's easy to forget that when you see him looking and moving like an intact human.

#3. In the Clone Wars episodes with the Bad Batch, there is this lingering fear about whether or not Echo can be trusted. What the Techno Union did to him.

This is what I think happened:

Sometime during Season 1 or 2 of the Bad Batch, Echo was kidnapped by the Empire and an impostor returned to the Batch. It would be trivial to impersonate Echo. All the Empire needed was an emaciated reg, Echo's memory data, face paint and some prop machinery. The Empire then proceeds to hack into Echo's cybernetics and install Captain Rex's Battle Algorithm into his brain. This would allow Echo to counter any move the Batch thought of. Then, they sent him on his way as "CX-2". The prototype Dark Trooper.

This is what I think the upcoming episode "Identity Crisis" is about.

After the latest Bad Batch episode it further cements to me the Filoni movie may be the biggest Star Wars team up movie of all time and act as a conclusion to TCW, Rebels and Bad Batch.

So you have Thrawn now back at Dathomir with his 3 great mothers resurrecting what is likely going to be thousands of nightsisters and nightbrothers from the catabombs and more of his stormtroopers. You're going to need a fair few force sensitives to combat that threat.

So 30 odd years later I could certainly see an older Ventress going WTF and sensing the mass of resurrections through the force occurring on Dathomir which was previously lifeless after the genocide there. While Jennifer Corbett and Brad Rau spearhead Bad Batch of course all these plot elements through the story group are plotted to connect to related eras and it was revealed Filoni asked them to bring back Ventress that makes me believe he has plans for her in live action in his current Mando era.

If Omega becomes trained as a force user I could see Ventress contacting her too when they go to investigate. This would be a good avenue to introduce both characters to live action and have Boba and Omega finally cross paths.

Does really seem like all surviving force users, pirates, bounty hunters/clones, Mandalorians characters in generals from these three shows will all team up against this threat and whatever threat is on Peridea. It always felt like it was building to this and it will be neat to see all these former enemies and characters work together in the final movie battle.

The Acolyte will be on dagobah

I was reading up on few things in Eu, Old reasons for dagobah strong in the dark side, how corpses of dark side users create dark side nexuses, and also how jedi that turned to sith teachings after leaving the order were hunted down by the rule of two sith to cover up any suspicion that the sith live.

This lead to a shower thought i had that with the reason tie ins of star wars media explaining gaps in star wars history from star wars eu retcons I started maybe the Acolyte is gonna be a former jedi that is now a self proclaimed “sith” who at the finale after killing all the jedi will die on dagobah at the hands of the two true current sith, creating the dark side nexus on dagobah.

pure speculation but i couldn’t stop thinking about it and wanted to get it out there

Grysks and Starflash

Alright so I just finished up all of the Thrawn (canon) books and was wondering if it's possible the Grysks were the aliens that were destroyed by the Chiss and their Starflash a thousand years ago? The books are all spinning around in my head but I think in one of them one of the Grysks said something along the lines of 'the Chiss killed a lot of my people'. I'd have to look through to see where.

But since the chiss are like wtf are these aliens but they have a bone to pick with the Chiss...possible? What do u all think?

Why it is possible for Rex to Die in the Bad Batch Finale

I stress the word possible because I posted this on the Bad Batch subreddit and it triggered a few people. So here is my point:

Each animated series so far has had a time jump at the end of the series (minus Resistance because it was cancelled). In Clone Wars it had a flash forward to Vader, in Rebels we had Sabine narrate the future of many of the Rebels characters including Rex. I think there is a possibility that Omega could narrate the ending of the Batch and describe where all the characters are at.

Rex first appeared in the Clone Wars movie. This is the last of the "Clone Wars" animated projects, and the end of this era. The next time period he is likely to appear in (if at all) is the live action mandalorian shows. I am personally not a fan of milking characters like this. Rex would potentially have died of old age by this point anyway and we never see him in Ahsoka after all. He's also extremely old by this point, even if he is alive, so we can't expect him to have intense fight scenes or anything like that and go out in a blaze of glory. I believe Dee Bradley Baker should be the one to have the final voice of this character, not Temuera Morrison. At the end of the day it is Baker's character. I don't think they would do him dirty like that.

If they are to end his story in this season, I would not be against it and I feel like it is poetic, as I mentioned before, his first appearance was in the Clone Wars, and the Bad Batch feels like an end to that era. I can see the argument to be made that this is not his show to die in, however the Clone Wars was also never his show as well. In fact Rex has never been the main protagonist in his own story, which I think is a good thing. The clones are defined by their connection to each other, and the individuality they each possess. I do not think it would take away from his death if he dies in a show in which he is not the main character. In fact I think that is precisely what would make it even more meaningful.

Even if you don't want this to happen or think it is unlikely, I still wanted to put this out there, because I haven't heard many people talk about it.

The Acolyte - The Rule Of Two and Continuity

It's the day before the Acolyte trailer and I'd like to get some thoughts out now in case the trailer reveals it or just completely ruins it lol. From what we know about the show, it's featuring Jedi (and maybe Sith). I think this show will answer a couple of questions I've had about The Phantom Menace for awhile.

1) How did Yoda know about the Rule Of Two, created by Darth Bane?

If the Rule of Two was established after the Jedi thought the Sith were extinct, it makes no sense how Yoda would know. Unless something in this show reveals to him how. Not all the Jedi have to agree or believe it.. but at least Yoda.

2) The Acolyte will show why Yoda doesn't want to train Anakin

The Jedi have a strict rule about training older recruits. 9 yo Anakin was too old... Yet in the High Republic novels, there's at least 1 boy, around 14, who is admitted into the Order in some capacity. (I have this knowledge second hand, so forgive me if it's inaccurate)

Lohim Nara was fourteen when he was allowed to begin learning from the Jedi, but that doesn't appear to be common practice. By the time of the Prequel Trilogy, the oldest a child was permitted to join the order was five. - thanks to frogspyer

In any case, I think we'll see some reasoning for why Yoda and the Jedi have this rule. At least in Legends, this didn't exist in The Old Republic timelines.

High Republic tie in to skywalker era

Read through all of HR minus a few smaller young adult books and looking for everyone’s head canon on this.

At the end of Defy the Storm, the nameless are now devouring moons and NPCs because the force is in everything. It’s no longer a threat to just Jedi. Rather than ask how it all nearly ends, I speculate 2 things:

  1. That the only way to now defeat the nameless will be dark side powers that Jedi will reluctantly need to learn and utilize in order to defeat these terrors. Hello Azlin and Elzar… but that leads to the second speculation,

  2. That a sith is already among them AND they’ll be the one surrounding or leading the research into m-count / nameless. There hasn’t been an m-count / midichlorian story line or even mention yet however within 100+ years it’s widely accepted.

This would tie neatly into Plageus and Palpatine. They could easily hide in plain site as Nihil or amongst the Jedi since their focus is spread so thin on the Nihil.

So the question becomes who would you guess to be the two Sith of this later era?

Can’t be too on the nose like Lorna D. Perhaps Xylan Graf plying the middle?

Also, Vernestra is the one to kill Marchion Ro.

If Andor season 2 was a success and maybe receiving much better viewership. I would love a show set on the Galactic Senate either during the High Republic Era or even the Late Republic/Age of the Empire?

Me personally I would loved a Mon Mothma spin off show with the same creative team similar to how Better call Saul was spin off show to Breaking Bad Or the thrift of the second Death Star by the Bothan.

I would loved a show of The New Republic version of the Nuremberg Trials. How would you structure the episodes? How many characters like the judges and the imperial war criminals would be based, or at least inspired by the real life Nuremberg.

For me to show should be more akin to the 2000 television 2- part docudrama “Nuremberg” which itself was based on the book Nuremberg: Infamy on Trial by Joseph E. Persico, that tells the story of the Nuremberg trials.

Hell, the producers or screenwriters (mostly from Andor) should read primarily sources of the real life Nuremberg Trials as well as having their own versions of Hermann Goring, Rudolf Harris, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Wilhelm Keitel for imperial war, criminals themselves?

I would love it if Meero, Bixx, and Dr Gorst survived pass Season 2 of Andor I would love it to include it down especially seening Meero and Dr Gorst being on trial while the jurors are listening to Bixx’s testimony of her torture by these two monsters before they were found guilty and executed by hanging.

If I was a showrunner, I would’ve added detail were before Bixx was telling her testimony Dr Gorst will look at her with a smile then once she told her torture a fear coming from Dr Gorst as stops smiling showing how Bixx had overdone her fears.

When he comes for diversity I would love it if the judge is a Mon Calamari who says “Guilty.”

Speaking the imperial hunters I think an interview with Chris Weitz the writer of Rogue One admitted he would loved to do a show similar to that?

I could see them adapting James Luceno’s Darth Plagueis into a faithful adaptation or at least take some ideas from it. essentially creating a House of Cards-esque show that follows the rise of Palpatine from young senator to Chancellor of the Republic (Maybe getting to see how people like Sly Moore and Mas Amedda meet in the first place as well as a Young Finis Valorum.) With that said I definitely don't want it to be the Palpatine show. Sure, he would play a major part, but I'm not a big fan of the character-based shows.

I think that while the politics of Clone Wars/prequels have been covered heavily, there hasn't really been the quality to back up the ambition of the stories. I think that if they did a story about Palpatine's initial rise to Chancellorship as a law and order type populist, there is room for some more sophisticated stories that would end up feeling fresh.

By character-based I mean shows like Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett where the main character is more important than the plot. The thing I really like about Andor and Ahsoka is that they're character-based in name only. Ahsoka is a live-action sequel to Rebels and Andor follows multiple characters, not just Cassian Andor.

I would also loved them to revival George Lucas’s Underworld after all we know that the scripts and story treatments are still around in Skywalker Ranch thanks to an interview from the god of war creator and director Cory Barlog?

When it comes a show set during the High Republic Era similar story about rising authoritarianism in response to economic problems. It could lay the groundwork for the steady decay of the Republic. Conversely, you could use that time period to tell a story about colonialism in the outer rim and the Republic's expansion.

Omega's Purpose: "Holy Mother" Theory

There has been a lot of speculation recently surrounding Omega's purpose and the reasons for her creation. I have a theory that I wanted to share. Please let me know your own theories as well (I love when there is a Star Wars show out and we get to discuss our theories and ideas, its probably my favourite part of this fandom).

So here is my theory: Omega is not the fifth enhanced clone Nala Se was referring to (in fact this may be Emerie instead) and the Bad Batch are not clones of Jango, but clones of Omega.

Let me explain:

Point 1: So lets look back at Omega from season 1, and some of the clone lore that we got from it. First of all, the Kamanoans explained that when you clone the DNA of clones (rather than taking material directly from the OG source), it "degrades" the genome somehow. They explained that Omega had pure DNA of Jango and this is why they sent Bounty Hunters after her to get her back. Because after the death of Jango, the clone's gene pool would ultimately degrade and they would no longer be able to make more clones. The wording used in season 1, "degrade", is interesting as it was also used in describing the M-Count transfer in season 3, and the genetic material (and M-Count) did not degrade when using Omega's blood.

This theory keeps in line with all of the "degradation" lore that we have so far. As this was one of the canonical functions of her DNA and by using her as a potential cloning source was a point made in season 1.

Point 2: This also explains the purpose of her being a woman. A common sci-fi trope is that female clones are easier to clone than male clones. And that the process itself is more efficient. Such as the animals in Jurassic Park. Again the Kamanoans explained how cloning clones only led to degrading the genome, and because we know that Omega's DNA does not do this, it does sound a lot like that this sci-fi trope was used as inspiration. This ultimately explains why she is a woman, she could be used to create a whole other clone army, possibly even just a single batch (wink, wink). This bring me onto my next point:

Point 3: Omega seems to share many of the genetic traits of the Bad Batch (even if it is to a lesser degree). She has Tech's intelligence (as evidenced by her strategy in card games), Hunter's senses (this may be where the whole force sensitive interpretation came from), Crosshair's sharpshooting skills (as depicted in the first episode, when she shot accurately without having ever fired a blaster) and possibly Wrecker's strength (even though we have yet to see evidence of this). And whilst Tech was also smart and strategic, she shares these similarities with Emerie as well, and more importantly her biological sex.

What if the Kamanoans isolated these mutations in Omega and then enhanced them to create the 5 batcher's? 1.Hunter (enhanced sense), 2. Tech (Intelligence, Strategy), 3. Crosshair (enhanced eyesight and focus), 4. Wrecker (strength) and 5. Emerie (biological sex and intelligence). Other than strength (which may have not yet manifested in Omega), she has all of these traits, and we have seen evidence of this throughout the series so far. It also explains why she seems to be force sensitive, it could be that instead, she just has Hunter's enhanced sensory ability.

Point 4: Omega is older than the Batch. They made a point of reminding us in the last episode that Omega is older than the rest of them. By bringing this to the forefront of the audience's awareness it could likely serve as foreshadowing. By being created before the rest of the Batch and therefore not being part of the same “batch” as them, it makes sense that she is not included in the “5 enhanced clones" statement in season 1.

In summary, I predict that Omega is the "Holy Mother" of the Batch. It is in line with the genetic degradation lore established in season 1 and brought back up in season 3; it explains why she shares the same characteristics as most of the Batch, including Emerie, which has arguably been foreshadowed throughout all three seasons (examples explained above); it also explains why she is female (again common sci-fi trope when cloning clones); it explains why she appears to be force sensitive; and also gives us answers as to why there are more than 5 enhanced clones.

What are your thoughts?

Anakin Skywalker Disney + series.

We’ve had an Obi Wan Kenobi series, why not a post ROTJ Anakin Skywalker mystical adventure?

Imagine with me

Summary: "Shadows of the Chosen One" follows the journey of Anakin Skywalker's Force ghost as he navigates the afterlife and the lingering impact of his actions on the galaxy. Set after the events of The Original Trilogy, Anakin's spirit grapples with his past as both a Jedi Knight and Darth Vader, seeking redemption and a deeper understanding of the Force.

Pitch: The series begins with Anakin's Force ghost awakening in the realm of the Force after his redemption in "Return of the Jedi." Haunted by his past deeds as Darth Vader, Anakin embarks on a quest to find redemption and reconcile with his former self. Along the way, he encounters familiar faces from his past, including Obi-Wan Kenobi, Yoda, and Ahsoka Tano, who offer guidance and wisdom.

As Anakin journeys through the Force, he discovers forgotten worlds, ancient prophecies, and powerful Force artifacts that hold the key to his redemption. Among these discoveries is Mortis, a mystical realm where the Force is at its most potent. Here, Anakin confronts the enigmatic beings known as the Father, the Son, and the Daughter, whose actions have far-reaching consequences for the galaxy.

Mortis serves as a crucible for Anakin's inner conflict, forcing him to confront his past and the choices that led him down the path to darkness. As he navigates the challenges of Mortis, Anakin must also contend with dark side entities seeking to corrupt him and disrupt the balance of the Force.

Throughout the series, Anakin's interactions with Mortis and its inhabitants shape his understanding of the Force and his role as the Chosen One. Alongside his personal journey, Anakin becomes entangled in the events unfolding in the galaxy, offering guidance to new heroes and aiding in the fight against emerging threats to peace and balance.

As the series progresses, Anakin's resolve is tested, and he must make difficult choices that will determine the fate of the galaxy. Ultimately, "Shadows of the Chosen One" explores themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the enduring power of hope in the Star Wars universe, while delving into the mysteries of Mortis and its significance to the Force.

Barriss Offee was trained by Maul after order 66

Filoni said he had plans for barriss and there were some rumors that maul series was in the making so given that she didnt appear in ahsoka, what if she got trained by maul during the empire's rein; this way we could also have some somewhat formal sith in the future canon, rather than the line ending with sidious, although I personally am fine with some rogue jedi discovering sith holocron and falling to the dark side.

Will Ezra go searching for The Bendu?

Listening to Rebel Force Radio aftershows of Ahsoka, the hosts mentioned the question of what Ezra will do next, will he go searching for Luke, or just be a jedi on his own, go train Jacen, or perhaps just fight Thrawn and try to save Sabine and Ahsoka? And it got me thinking: I don't think that Luke had so much more training at this point to be able to be a master for Ezra, and the most Ezra thing to do would be to go searching for sabine and ahsoka. And while he could ask purrgils to help him again, maybe he would save that for a backup, or after the attack at peridea the purrgils wouldn't be so willing to help anymore, or maybe they go there only at a certain time of the year or decade etc., so it is imaginable that ezra would try to find other means of reaching the other galaxy.

And that is where our beloved space moose enters the story. If he were to seek someone's help, it would have to be someone more knowledgeable, and I don't think Luke has an ancient knowledge that could help, and seeing how there are no more Jedi masters that we know of, he would perhaps go to search for a Jedi temple (but then the only one he knew of was destroyed, so maybe he would rather go to the next option), or go searching for The Bendu. And while I might be a bit biased in wanting so desperately to see more of Bendu, I actually think that it is pretty possible that this is what Ezra would opt to do. I'd like to hear if anyone has other ideas. cheers

Why didn't Shin return to Thrawn?

After she was defeated in the battle, Shin ran away on the Howler, but as we see at the end, she went on to join the bandits. I was wondering why she didn't return to Thrawn; after all that was what she was after. I think I am right in saying that she had enough time to return: the way ahsoka and co. got to Thrawn by first following the Notti, which as we saw in the chasing scene, are not faster than Howlers even when in full speed, and after that Huyang's ship got destroyed so they proceeded on the howlers, something shin could easily mimic (now, the only possibility is that the howler would get weary after some time and that he couldn't keep up with the notti caravan, but I doubt this was the case).

Could she have felt like she has failed her assignment and was ashamed to return, or felt that she wouldn't be welcome? Or did she not want to abandon her master even though he abandoned her? Or was she perhaps now called by the mysterious entity that is calling to Baylan? (but in this case, what could have caused the change? maybe the entity felt the presence of ahsoka and sabine and realized that it would need not just baylan but shin as well, in which case this would reveal some things for season 2, but I think that Shin is in for a redemption arc, but we'll see). Or was she perhaps hungry to be a leader and realized that she can have a whole gang of bandits (!) at her disposal (though I'd say it isn't so likely given her acting at that scene, she looked like she has lost everything and that this was the only thing left for her now). Or, could it be that Dave just wanted to be stuck on Peridea as well and didn't even think about this that much? (though I hope and believe this isn't the case, it is a valid option). What are your thoughts?

Would you be willing to see a jango fett animated series?

Like it could be rated r or tv-ma. I really like the idea of a really cold and remorseless and ruthless killer. It would be intriguing to see him fight the death watch and kill jedi. They could put episodes with him and cad bane. They could put the whole 'bounty hunter' story arc, where jango fett finds and kills komari vosa and then agrees to become the clone template. They could also put episodes where he is training his son. I don't mine if they bring temeura morrison or dee bradley baker in on the project. I think dee will need to have a voice that is colder, deeper and more remorseless than his usual clone voice.

Project Necromancer is Sideous attempting at redoing Darth Plagueis's "Grant Experiment".

In the Darth Plagueis book the Grand Experiment was created by Plagueis's desire to create a life form by gaining control of the midi-chlorians.

Ultimately though, Plagueis deemed the project a failure & the whole thing backfired badly for the two sith lords as it caused the midi-chlorians to create Anakin, the prophesied Chosen One who was destined to restore balance to the Force by destroying the Banite Sith.

In the three episode premiere of The Bad Batch Season 3, it was shown that Hemlock is having Imperial Scientists take DNA samples from clones who potentially have a Midichlorian count as it could lead to cloning more stable force sensitive beings as the episodes also show that it seems they've already cloned lifeforms with Midichlorians before as seen in those tubes and vats in that one room the cloned Zillo Beast was inside of.

To me it seems that Sideous wants to be able to clone lifeforms with a high Midichlorian count as a way to potentially create some sort of force sensitive beings by controlling them via cloning rather than Plagueis's attempt via Sith alchemy, so that nothing badly backfires on him in the process of his experimentation and manipulation of the Midichlorian's.

Which ends up being somewhat true as he was later on able to clone himself and create Strand-cast's with their own will and consciousness in them.

Is there any hope for the unfinished Clone Wars?

2020’s Season 7 only covered three of the over 10 unfinished clone wars arcs that we know were in some form of development at the time of the shows 2013 cancellation, Ahsoka on Coruscant, Bad Batch and Siege of Mandalore.

Four arcs were released in different formats— The Bad Batch S2 took some of the concepts from the unfinished Kashyyyk arc, two 4-episode arcs became the Dark Disciple book, Son of Dathomir became a comic and Utapau Crystal arc was released as pre-vis story reels.

As of this post, the following have yet to see a full or partial release in any form besides short clips or mentions at celebration panels:

  • Bounty Hunters
  • Ahsoka’s Return to the Jedi
  • Clones vs. Droids Top-Gun
  • Mon Cala Return
  • Yuuzhan Vong

Is there any hope that these stories, as well as the arcs released as books, comics, and pre-vis story reels will ever be fully animated? I’m sure that if Lucasfilm decided to complete them, it would be very popular and well received among fans. Why haven’t they finished them? Do you think they ever will?

What to do with Baylon Skoll

Easily one of the more intriguing characters since the Disney acquisition and the very unfortunate death of Ray Stevenson.

What do they do? Recast? Off screen death?

Idk, I thought the Ahsoka series was boring with its lack of substance and fan-service but Baylon was a great character.

What should Disney do with him going forward?
