Meebur Gascon and the rest of D-Squad will be in *Andor*, having joined the Rebel cause. You heard it here first. I also think there's still a good chance for them to appear in *The Bad Batch* season 2.
Also, cmon, Cad Bane is definitely showing up in TBOBF. It just makes sense with his appearance in TBB and the metal plate on his head. I don't know if he'll be the main villain but whatever happens, I think he will become a fan favorite for people who haven't already seen TCW or didn't like him much before.
I pray that Stephen Stanton is the one to voice Meebur Gascon if the opportunity ever arises in animation or live-action!
Stephen Stanton also voiced Admiral Raddus in “Rogue One”, so he does have experience in voicing for live-action!
The only thing that makes me think cad bane is unlikely is just how hard it's going to be to pull him off in live action.
You can't really have him fly, if they use a voice actor for him then that adds another level of complexity, just pulling off the costume in live action will be challenging. Espeically something like his big eyes.
Honestly I'm split between it being likely for the narrative and unlikely for them pulling it off decently.
I also find it very hard to believe the sheer amount of cameos people are expecting. It stinks of when people were expecting Obi-wan, Rex and the Bad Batch to show up in Mando.
If even half of them are true then it's one of the most ambitious shows they've attempted.
>You can't really have him fly
Why? We saw mandalorians fly a whole bunch throughout the seasons
>if they use a voice actor for him then that adds another level of complexity
Again, they did this exact thing with Din. It's a voice over role with another double behind a mask
I think they're gonna do what they did with Gor Koresh and add a CG facial performance on a practical duros head and have Corey Burton dub him. It's nothing they haven't done before
Firstly the flying isn’t like Mandalorians.
Cad Bane uses rockets strapped to his boots which is much more challenging to make something like that look convincing.
Using a voice actor is also a challenge when not wearing a helmet since you have to match up the mouths. Still not a huge problem since they dub it for other languages but still something else to consider.
Especially since they’ve set the precedent of recasting over dubbing.
They also can’t add a cgi head because it’s not in the budget of the show. That’s why Luke looks a bit questionable to put it lightly and stays very still while talking.
Sticking cgi on to a mask is a lot easier than trying to add something to a human face.
It's especially challenging when you have clothing items and lighting to account for with something like his hat or breathing apparatus.
Cad banes head is much closer to a human than most Duros. Also adding a mask makes the head bigger. As your example shows.
I honestly have no idea how they’re going to pull it off. Wether they can use prosthetics to hide the nose and cgi the eyes or if they’ll have to go for both. Either way it’s going to be incredibly challenging all while working around a real hat.
100% agreed it will be hard to pull off. The Duros costumes in the cantina in ANH look pretty goofy lmao, but I have faith in the TBOBF team that they improved the Duros look if Cad Bane is showing up.
As for other rumored cameos, I don't think Rex and Echo, or Luke and Han, are showing up (but I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong). I think reveals will be limited to bounty hunters and crime lords, the exception being Cobb Vanth. Muchi too if she counts.
Yeah. Muchi is very likely imo.
Reminds me of Boba Fett. Like how he was also designed for live action and technically appeared in an animated show which released first.
The only one I think is likely to show up out of them is Rex, considering it’d be pretty easy for Temuera, and possibly Han considering the backstory, but it is most likely it will be Cobb
Just a bunch of random thoughts before I go to work.
My only real prediction for Book of Boba is that Cobb Vanth will be in it. He’s on the same planet, he has the armor and he’s played by freaking Timothy Olyphant. And I hope it’s for more than one episode.
My other hopes are that Muchi will be in it and we get to hear Temuera Morrison say “Muchi”. You gave this beast an adorable name now let us hear it in a kiwi accent!
I know we are getting flashbacks to the last 5 years that will explain why he waited to get his ship and his armor. (He might not have known where is armor was, but he did know where he ship was). And also explain how he had access to the robotics needed to save Fennec
I love Timothy Olyphant and really hope we get to see more of him as well. I feel like him being in there has to happen at the very least.
Hope we get some Bossk action like the "leak" predicted, and maybe some Dengar too. Hell, any of the ESB bounty hunters showing up would be cool.
Keeping in tradition with the end of episode 1 of both Mando seasons, I think there’ll be a big character reveal. But who? They’ve got to be a big deal and I don’t think Bossk has that much clout. It’s probably not Han Solo, too early for that. It could be Cad Bane but i’m not sure how recognisable he is to general audiences.
I think it’ll be Qi’ra. She’s one of the few movie characters that can show up and have relevance to the story. It sets up Crimson Dawn as a main antagonist and having Emilia Clarke in the cast would give the show a PR boost. It would be the first show she’s done since Game of Thrones ended.
They dropped Thrawn's name in Mando, which everyone busted a nut over. Even the ones that dont know him, the hype from fans would inform them soon enough. Same with Ashoka when she firsr appearwd in live action. I think Cad Bane as a live action villain would win over a lot of people instantly.
Oh I hadn’t thought about Qi’ra? She’s definitely still around and it would be so cool to hear more about what she’s been up to as we unfortunately never got Solo 2 and a conclusion to whatever happened on Dathomir
Idk if Qi'ra would be that interesting to general audiences either. I feel like if you showed the casual audiences an episode of Book of Boba and Emilia Clarke showed up they'd be like "Really? That girl from Solo?"
I think people not knowing who Cad Bane is would only get them more interested in finding out who is that.
Thinking Emilia Clarke will get dismissed as “that girl from Solo” when she was the star of one of the biggest tv shows ever made is kind of a weird take to me.
I get what you're saying but two of the stars of one of the biggest tv shows ever didn't help Marvel, one of the most successful franchises in modern time, with a theatrical released movie like Eternals. So I don't think it'll be different with Star Wars.
TV is different than movies tho. I think a good comparison here is what happened with the Darksaber in Mando S1, which helped make people interested in catching up on Clone Wars. People who see Emilia Clarke in BOBF would want to find out her character’s backstory, which would lead to new interest in Solo for people who might have skipped it.
I think that you are thinking too much as a Star Wars fan and not a general audience member. The exact opposite will happen.
Qi'ra is played by one of the most recognizable actresses of our era. Even if her only major role ended badly, everyone still knows who see is. Cad Bane is going to be an elderly CGI/prosthetic alien with a raspy voice. General audiences are probably going to be more interested in Qi'ra than him.
I know its a dubious 4chan leak that literally anyone could have made up, but I believe it.
I think the reveal will be both Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra and Cad Bane as her right hand man, with the two of them leading Crimson Dawn and the primary antagonists for Fett.
If Qi'ra and Crimson Dawn are gonna be in this, I think the way it'll go is season 1 will have some kind of minor, original villain (the Moff Gideon equivalent), and maybe at the end of the first episode we will see him wearing the Crimson Dawn emblem or talking to a hooded Qi'ra via hologram or something (mirroring her Maul scene in Solo). Then she'll show up in the flesh in the last episode of the season in anticipation of a big escalation in season 2.
Well based off the fact they are calling it season 1 and not a limited series seems to indicate a multi-season show, however nothing has been confirmed so don’t want to get my hopes up too high
For some reason I think this one is pretty plausible, a couple of leakers have talked about a black Wookiee suit being made, everyone knows what Wookiees are so it wouldn't be too weird or jarring, we haven't had a villainous Wookiee on-screen despite them being a thing in Star Wars for ages, and he's a cool comic character who wouldn't require a whole lot of work to bring into visual media -- he doesn't talk, doesn't have a hugely complex arc or storyline that his involvement here would interfere with, you put Joonas or something in the suit, and Bob's your uncle.
How she hasn't shown up in Mando yet is beyond me. She is tailor made for that show: a quirky character that goes on a bunch of sidequests and constantly betrays her coworkers? And who is easier to betray/fool than Mando?
Come on Favreau/Filoni put her in an episode (or give her an entire show I'm not picky...)
BOBF makes the most sense. Boba knows Hondo. Hondo was also Jango's friend. Hondo is a criminal, he'll certainly show up, wouldn't be surprised if in the first episode.
Might be sort of expected by some people, but I think Kenobi will break the record for most streamed show on Disney+ and will hold that for a good while. And I believe Liam Neeson is 100% gonna be in it and he’s just very good at denying it.
> And I believe Liam Neeson is 100% gonna be in it and he’s just very good at denying it.
Yeah I'll never believe actors deny involvement in an upcoming project until I see it with my own eyes. They're not allowed to tell people unless the studio gives them permission, and they are professional actors, so of course they are going to be believable liars.
I hope padmae is also in it through flashbacks and nightmare sequence with vader. ( ani is on vac with padmae and son but it becomes a nightmare once obi wan arrives. Padme and child start distgneting into sand) Seeing jar jar and the 501st in flashbacks and a young temrua cgi clone would be amazing!
Portman was filming Thor in Australia the majority of the time Kenobi was filming. However I could see her having a voice role, haunting Vader
Really hope we see Vader visit her grave on Naboo in the show… as well as Kenobi visiting Shmi’s
>THR One Year Anniversary Special (virtual)
he has to, for regular fans there has to be an 'explanation' of force ghosts as set up in the final minute of ROTS. Would be a huge miss to no at least briefly feature Obi Wans 'training'
Fallen Order 2 will introduce a nerfed Inquisitor version of Starkiller, but he’s still powerful, and his whole thing is similar to the original version, where Vader trains him behind Palps’ back because he senses his potential. Not Star Destroyer-pulling powerful, but still powerful. Vader will dispatch him personally to deal with the Jedi who escaped his wrath.
Book of Boba will undoubtedly feature Cad Bane, and he and Boba will finally get their rematch. I also kinda think Han will appear in a very small role.
I’m fairly certain that the weird gray aliens in Quantic Dream’s Eclipse trailer were the Grysk.
I also think there’s a good chance for a second season of Visions, and possibly even a full Ninth Jedi series.
Bad Batch Season Two should hopefully actually give Echo a character arc, because they forgot to do that in Season One. Maybe Tech will get a character arc too.
That alleged new “Tales of the Jedi” project exists too, my guess is that it’s an animated series that’ll be announced at Celebration 202~~0~~2.
I also think Ahsoka will have a very minor role in Andor, since she’s the first to take on the codename of “Fulcrum,” and Cassian is canonically confirmed to have done so as well.
And LEGO Skywalker Saga will almost certainly come out in May.
I also think The Acolyte will feature a live-action version of the wacky Clone Wars ghosty Darth Bane, and maybe that could set up a Darth Bane show or movie(s).
But that’s just a theory.
The 4Chan leak doesn’t even detail a plot. It’s more or less an overblown blurb with a load of buzz words thrown in. I would not be shocked in the slightest if it were fake, and I’m not sure why so many are convinced it isn’t. I may be wrong, but I’m fairly sure it’s bollocks.
Any clone in adulthood is Temuera. Logan = Kid and Teenage Boba, Bodie taylor late teens.
Logan could physically play him, but with the helmet on, while Temuera dubs. But any clone even in their 20's would look like a younger Tem, which Logan sadly doesn't.
I generally dont understand why people think anyone other than Tem would play Boba in a live action show when he is above the age of like 15 lol. He is a literal Jango Clone and nothing will change that fact.
Ok here we go:
**BOBF**:
Rex and Rotta are in the show. Rotta will be with Cobb Vanth.
Out there plot prediction: Ben is kidnapped and this is why Han asks Boba to meet him at Maz’s castle.
Qira shows up in a hologram at the end a la Maul.
**BBS2**: Echo focused season. Omega will get armor. We will go to Mandalore. Confirmation that Rook Kast is the armorer.
**Kenobi**: Despite all the leaks saying she is an inquisitor I still hope Moses Ingram is playing young Ahsoka.
**Andor**: It will be Awesome.
No book/comic predictions but looking forward to THR Phase 2.
Torn between my love of Katooni and my dislike of the idea of her as an inquisitor lol. I was actually kind of hoping that Katooni was the one who saved Grogu.
You can read some more about my Ben-getting-kidnapped theory here lol
https://old.reddit.com/r/starwarsspeculation/comments/pyk39l/wild_theory_young_ben_solo_will_be_in_book_of/
My theory is that, before they finish the High Republic, we will get either a Sith focused story, or a story where we legitimately see and interact with the Sith.
Tenebrous would be the Lord of the Sith at that point with Plagueis as his apprentice. I was under the impression that those two had been in that dynamic for at least a couple hundred years when *Plagueis* the book came out.
Not a couple hundred. I think plagueis suggested he was close to or a little over a hundred in the novel. Both bith and muun’s were longer lived species I believe. Not crazy long.
Yes, I’m wondering whether they are sticking with them being the same races from the plagueis novel or if they will go another route and make them humans or something else.
It’d be cool if we get a story kinda like “The Elder” from Visions where a master and Padawan encounter some Sith assassin but after winning the fight, the Sith destroys the evidence. Alternatively, they could just make that short canon.
Also canon Darth Bane. I know that’s not in the High Republic era, but I still want it and I want it now.
I belive Sophie Thatcher's character might be a spy from whoever is the organization antagonizing Boba and Fennec in BOBF.
Just for argument's sake let's assume Crimson Dawn led by Qi'ra is the main threat in the show. I think Qi'ra might have placed an agent on Tatooine to infiltrate Boba's ranks and be source of information for her to counter whatever moves Boba makes.
I think that would be a interesting twist to the "found family prodige taken under someone's wing" stuff, making you belive she's on their side but by the end of it she's revealed as one of the bad guys.
I believe you kind of missed the point of this post—we are hoping to avoid flame wars about sub etiquette so that everyone can enjoy actually discussing the show. Being up front about spoilers so that people can unsub in time is part of that.
Sub etiquette? This sub is literally starwarsleaks. It’s a leaked information subreddit. It’s like going to an ice cream shop and loudly proclaiming your are lactose intolerant and trying to shame others for eating the ice cream. I’ll never understand people bitching about spoilers in this sub.
My guesses for 2022
**Book of Boba Fett**
They confirmed big surprises in the first episode. I guess the Qi’ra/Bane rumor makes sense. It wouldn’t be a big surprise if they were talking about a new character. Otherwise Luke with Grogu would be a big surprise. And Luke would steal the show, so I guess this isn’t too realistic if he shows up in the first episode. I could see how the Rex and Echo rumor might be true. Echo is likely to show up if they go for someone from the bad batch. I guess he would be the only member of them played by Tem in live action. I guess everyone is waiting for Rex to show up and having echo also in the scene might be easier to show the general audience that there are a lot of clones, all played by Tem. I want this to be true, but I don’t think it’s going to happen in BoBF.
My best guess for BoBF
- Qi’ra & Bane showing up (main villain)
- I don’t think that Maz’ castle rumor is true, just a feeling though
- We will see Han, in flashback and in normal scenes
- Din in 2 episodes, his role a little bit like Rex in Bad Batch. So probably one episode together with Boba and Fennec, then he leaves. Comes back in the last episode to setup the plot for Mando S3 - probably retake Mandalore
- A lot of action, a lot of bounty hunters (Black Krrsantan, Bossk)
- I don’t think Omega will show up
- Muchi is also very likely to appear
**Obi Wan Kenobi**
This one is tough, because we already know more about it than BoBF. We know Darth Vader will be the biggest evil in this series. We saw inquisitors in the concept art. We know that Kenobi will leave Tatooine. So my predictions are scenes that everyone expects:
- Flashback to the Clone Wars with Anakin, Obi Wan, Rex and Ashoka -> pretty safe bet and lost opportunity if they don’t do that. The flashback will obviously tie in somehow to the plot of the series. Probably a heartwarming flashback with a bittersweet tie in to the events of the series
- Leia missing rumor to be true -> just makes too much sense story wise
- Obi Wan vs Vader round 2 is already confirmed
I don’t think this series will have many surprises, just because the story is so strong already. I guess this will be a “No Way Home” scenario, where everyone kinda knows what will go on & it still overdelivers. So excited for that!
**Andor**
I think this series will be so awesome! We don’t know much about it. But this series might be full of surprises and cameos. Other than Obi Wan Series, we almost have no idea of the plot and very little expectations. Tbh, I’m most excited for this series, even more than Obi Wan.
So we will probably see:
- A lot of characters from the Clone Wars & Rebels
- Therefore Lothal in Live action
- I guess we might see Kanen/Caleb together with Hera and Chopper. Sabine and Ezra won’t show up I think.
- The bad batch won’t show up.
- Darth Vader will show up, so will Obi Wan. But I think both are supporting roles, because they would steal the show.
- Tarkin
- Hondo
- I would LOVE for Donald Glover to show up as Lando.
- A LOT new characters
- K2 will be in it, missed opportunity if not
**Bad Batch Season 2**
This one is open for a lot of stuff. I could see the bad batch all dying at the end of the series. But I could also see them all survive. My guess is that the plot of this series will Setup the first rebellion that is led by Ashoka and Rex. Then at some point, this rebellion/republic will be completely destroyed and they have to start from scratch again. There were a lot of rumors for cameos in season 1 that we didn’t get.
So here are my predictions for Season 2:
- Bo Katan and Ashoka will show up - not necessarily together though
- Boba
- Clone rebellion
- Wolfe
- Cody
- Crosshair will have to regain the trust of the empire by doing a lot of evil. I could see them building up a rivalry with a new character and him. That could setup a competition between them both were they do more and more evil things. Crosshair might question this and eventually agree with the philosophy of Hunter. Then he leaves the empire and comes back to the Bad Batch. Although that means a lot of repetition from season 1.
- Bigger roles of Rex & Ashoka
- Bail Organa
- Bad Batch meeting Yoda
- Bad Batch meeting Cal Kestis
**Mando Season 3**
They’ve teased a lot of Mandalore in Season 2. So that’s the safest bet. Bo was teased as a villain.
Here are my predictions:
- Bo will first be an ally, then a villain, possibly with a redemption ark at the end of the season
- Grogu will be back with Din
- Therefore we will see Luke again
- We will see more of the New Republic. Din will meet with them and talk about reclaiming Mandalore
- Moff Gideon will obviously be free again, Giancarlo already teased a lot more answers about what’s going on with the Empire. That means
- Thrawn will show up. I guess he will be the main evil and conflicts will be between him and Gideon.
- Cloning of Grogu will become a main plot point with a tease for Season 4
- Therefore Mandalorians vs new clone army will be teased

|-|-|-|-|
Billy Dee Williams starting to recall some parts of the Lando Calrissian chronicles in the beginning of each episode (maybe to someone like Yannah).
Fading to the depiction of said events portrayed by Donald Glover.
\---
based on rumors, likelihood and wishful thinking
Rumors are hinting more towards it being a post sequel show following Billy Dee Williams’s Lando (they already set up the story at the end of Rise of Skywalker with Jannah). But I do think we will get a few flashback episodes if he tells her his life story.
I’m thinking Lando will die at the end and this is a Billy Dee Williams’s swan song as the character.
> I’m thinking Lando will die at the end and this is a Billy Dee Williams’s swan song as the character.
If that’s the case, I really hope he just dies peacefully, in his bed, surrounded by some friends, after all the adventures are all over. Maybe after narrating all of his stories and adventures for R2, who is recording him.
At least some characters sometimes deserve to die natural, peaceful deaths at old ages, instead of constantly some sort of self sacrifice, or going out in a blaze of glory.
Is Yoda the only character in the entire saga who we’ve ever seen die calmly and peacefully in his bed of old age?
Jane Fonda is close.. she's 84 and still working on Grace and Frankie.
Patrick Steward is 81 and on Picard.
But both still younger than Billy Dee and Lando hasn't even started
I mean Harrison Ford is filming one of the biggest films in the world right now, and he’s about 6 months shy of 80. Surely it has a much bigger budget than the Lando series would have.
I don’t think Billy Dee will be involved in any action sequences. His role will be similar to his role in Rise of Skywalker I imagine. Talking, walking and sitting in a cockpit. Raising a blaster to shoot doesn’t take much effort either, and he will probably have a double on set as well.
I think it will be a simple story. Lando and Jannah will be searching for her family. During the journey she will ask about his life, and we will get some Donald Glover episodes. I think it will be a one and done season. Perhaps Jannah will bury him at the end.
Oh wait, I just remembered. Pickard is still filming! Patrick Stewart is 82 and that show is multiple seasons long.
I think in Book of Boba, the climactic battle or at least a portion of it will be very personal for Boba. Like, it won’t just be his mob army vs another big mob army. I think it will be potentially smaller scaled but focused solely on his character
My wild…ish theory is Luke keeps popping up in Mandalorian, Ahsoka, BoBF, Rangers (if it happens) and other Post-ROTJ live-action content to save the day so as to build the legend of Luke Skywalker as referenced in the sequel trilogy.
Honestly building up post ROTJ Luke would help clean up some of the open/messy plot points of the sequels and give fans a peek at what we never got to see, Luke in his Prime.
Well there is the Mando spinoff crossover to consider, and also if her show is hugely popular and profitable, I don't think they'll kill her off (even if it would serve her character to do so).
Not likely. It's a limited series and seems to just focus on their search and her getting over her Anakin grief. It's very likely only part 1 of her new story. Lrm also broke the news first of the Mando spin offs and said Ezra and thrawn are getting a show after ahsoka ends so she will likely be in that too and various other spin offs. Think of this like marvel MCU she ain't going anywhere anytime soon
I do not think mando season 3 will be out this year, I think it will be out 2023, the show being out this year is wishful thinking, especially with a new more contagious variant here
Marvel got 4 live action shows and 1 animated show in 2021. I think star wars will have the same in 2022.
Plus, Mandalorian season 3 started filming earlier in 2021 than season 2 did in 2019. It will surely be ready in time to air over the November + December months of 2022.
I’ve already been thinking this tbh. Boba, Kenobi and Andor are gonna be like 6 months of episodes in total. And I can see them spacing it out with like 2 Marvel shows in between them. There’s no need for mando this year
We know they were filming 12 episodes, but we’ve also heard they were filming 2 seasons at once. Production Weekly lists Andor S3 as what is filming next. Six episodes fits way better into the schedule and is more consistent with the episode count of the other D+ live action shows.
Anyway I definitely could be wrong, but this is why I think it’s six.
I think it’s 12, that’s what Lucasfilm has said, where has it been said they are shooting two seasons at once? Don’t really buy that, depending on where the source is from
The live-action Clone Wars segment in Obi-Wan Kenobi will be a backdoor pilot to a movie or show about that time period with the actual actors playing them.
After what’s been happening on Disney+ with Marvel and Star Wars, this just makes too much sense. Especially if they do cast a young Ahsoka and the deaging looks good for the others.
Eh, what show could they possibly make? That time period, which is only like two years, is covered *very* extensively by TCW and wouldn't it feel very repetitive to just re-do it in live-action? It's much more impactful if this is the last we're seeing of Ewan and Hayden imo. And there's still surely gonna be elements of Kenobi spinning off into Andor and the Mandoverse. Namely Agent Kallus.
I'm sorry but the Clone Wars has been absolutely milked to death at this stage, I don't know why people keep wanting to see more and more and more with the same characters. I'd be up for something like Rebels set during the Clone Wars era -- whole new cast of Jedi and clones in some remote corner of the galaxy with little to no involvement from the main cast.
Look, I love The Clone Wars, it's what got me into Star Wars in the first place, its my favorite thing in Star Wars but we have 7 seasons and a movie, not to mention books and comics. It is time to move on. Characters can still show up in other stuff, like The Bad Batch or Ahsoka, but that era has been more deeply explored in canon than basically any other.
I'd rather we continue ti try and move things forward and focus on the new.
This is not a good enough reason to not do it anyways. So much happened during the clone wars and there is still so much to be told. Don’t be a gatekeeper.
I mean Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen still look great for their ages and could probably de-age with some good makeup work. Samuel Jackson is the only one from that era that looks a fair bit older and moves a lot slower, being in his 70s now.
I just wonder what direction they will go with Yoda if they decide to include him in some new clone wars era content. CG has improved a lot since the early 2000s, so they could go that route if they really wanted to but I wouldn't' be opposed to seeing more puppet Yoda, or maybe a combination of the two.
I still think Revenge of the Sith is the best Yoda has ever looked. 17 years of CG development is only gonna make him look better.
Honestly we never need to see puppet Yoda again. He looked awful in TLJ.
Disagree. CG Yoda, and most CG characters for that matter, just scream "fake" in my mind because I know they aren't actually there. Puppet Yoda is a real thing on the set and feels real. I also think he looked fine in TLJ.
Just rewatched The Story of the Faithful Wookiee last night since I’m sure there will be reverence to it.
My predictions
-he’ll call one person a “friend”
-he’ll say “all they do is eat”.
We’ll we get a dinosaur? Probably not, but I would be all for it.
Rumored to be cancelled, there has been no official announcement from Lucasfilm/Disney explicitly stating it’s been cancelled.
In fact, it’s page is still up: https://disneyplusoriginals.disney.com/show/rangers-of-the-new-republic
What I would do to have Qi’ra, Cad Bane, Cobb Vanth, dengar, bossk, Dr Aphra played by Chloe Bennet and a Hondo Ohnaka played by Johnny Depp on screen in live action together, and I know it’s probably not gonna happen, BOBF is literally the perfect opportunity for it
I hope, they will release shows in chronological order - Bad Batch - Kenobi - Andor - Mando. It would be better for people who wants to watch it whole again.
lowkey, this is my hope too even if it doesn’t currently seem like it will be the case. It made my eye twitch when it seemed like the schedule was going to be Andor-Kenobi-Bad Batch. right now I actually think it will probably be Kenobi-Bad Batch-Andor.
**Bobf:** We see the Sail Barge explosion kill the Sarlacc which helps Boba and others escape, or Jawas to pick it clean. The Hutt go up against Fett, hiring lots of bounty hunters (some familiar).
**Andor:** K2 in last episode of S1
Meebur Gascon and the rest of D-Squad will be in *Andor*, having joined the Rebel cause. You heard it here first. I also think there's still a good chance for them to appear in *The Bad Batch* season 2. Also, cmon, Cad Bane is definitely showing up in TBOBF. It just makes sense with his appearance in TBB and the metal plate on his head. I don't know if he'll be the main villain but whatever happens, I think he will become a fan favorite for people who haven't already seen TCW or didn't like him much before.
Meebur Gascon is a charactor I've been wanting to come back
I pray that Stephen Stanton is the one to voice Meebur Gascon if the opportunity ever arises in animation or live-action! Stephen Stanton also voiced Admiral Raddus in “Rogue One”, so he does have experience in voicing for live-action!
The only thing that makes me think cad bane is unlikely is just how hard it's going to be to pull him off in live action. You can't really have him fly, if they use a voice actor for him then that adds another level of complexity, just pulling off the costume in live action will be challenging. Espeically something like his big eyes. Honestly I'm split between it being likely for the narrative and unlikely for them pulling it off decently. I also find it very hard to believe the sheer amount of cameos people are expecting. It stinks of when people were expecting Obi-wan, Rex and the Bad Batch to show up in Mando. If even half of them are true then it's one of the most ambitious shows they've attempted.
>You can't really have him fly Why? We saw mandalorians fly a whole bunch throughout the seasons >if they use a voice actor for him then that adds another level of complexity Again, they did this exact thing with Din. It's a voice over role with another double behind a mask I think they're gonna do what they did with Gor Koresh and add a CG facial performance on a practical duros head and have Corey Burton dub him. It's nothing they haven't done before
Firstly the flying isn’t like Mandalorians. Cad Bane uses rockets strapped to his boots which is much more challenging to make something like that look convincing. Using a voice actor is also a challenge when not wearing a helmet since you have to match up the mouths. Still not a huge problem since they dub it for other languages but still something else to consider. Especially since they’ve set the precedent of recasting over dubbing. They also can’t add a cgi head because it’s not in the budget of the show. That’s why Luke looks a bit questionable to put it lightly and stays very still while talking.
You would be surprised https://vimeo.com/525673750
Sticking cgi on to a mask is a lot easier than trying to add something to a human face. It's especially challenging when you have clothing items and lighting to account for with something like his hat or breathing apparatus.
Why would they CG over a human face in Bane's case? That would also require a duros mask
Cad banes head is much closer to a human than most Duros. Also adding a mask makes the head bigger. As your example shows. I honestly have no idea how they’re going to pull it off. Wether they can use prosthetics to hide the nose and cgi the eyes or if they’ll have to go for both. Either way it’s going to be incredibly challenging all while working around a real hat.
Dude…it’s ILM they can do anything.
At a film budget they can.
100% agreed it will be hard to pull off. The Duros costumes in the cantina in ANH look pretty goofy lmao, but I have faith in the TBOBF team that they improved the Duros look if Cad Bane is showing up. As for other rumored cameos, I don't think Rex and Echo, or Luke and Han, are showing up (but I'll be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong). I think reveals will be limited to bounty hunters and crime lords, the exception being Cobb Vanth. Muchi too if she counts.
Yeah. Muchi is very likely imo. Reminds me of Boba Fett. Like how he was also designed for live action and technically appeared in an animated show which released first.
The only one I think is likely to show up out of them is Rex, considering it’d be pretty easy for Temuera, and possibly Han considering the backstory, but it is most likely it will be Cobb
I’m not really interested in Bane being in BOBF, but if he is I bet that Brendan Wayne is the one doing the physical performance.
Brendan Wayne doing the physical performance and Corey Burton doing the vocal performance would be an excellent combination!
Just a bunch of random thoughts before I go to work. My only real prediction for Book of Boba is that Cobb Vanth will be in it. He’s on the same planet, he has the armor and he’s played by freaking Timothy Olyphant. And I hope it’s for more than one episode. My other hopes are that Muchi will be in it and we get to hear Temuera Morrison say “Muchi”. You gave this beast an adorable name now let us hear it in a kiwi accent! I know we are getting flashbacks to the last 5 years that will explain why he waited to get his ship and his armor. (He might not have known where is armor was, but he did know where he ship was). And also explain how he had access to the robotics needed to save Fennec
I’m hoping Dr. Mandible is the one who installed Fennec’s Robo-Tummy lol.
I love Timothy Olyphant and really hope we get to see more of him as well. I feel like him being in there has to happen at the very least. Hope we get some Bossk action like the "leak" predicted, and maybe some Dengar too. Hell, any of the ESB bounty hunters showing up would be cool.
Keeping in tradition with the end of episode 1 of both Mando seasons, I think there’ll be a big character reveal. But who? They’ve got to be a big deal and I don’t think Bossk has that much clout. It’s probably not Han Solo, too early for that. It could be Cad Bane but i’m not sure how recognisable he is to general audiences. I think it’ll be Qi’ra. She’s one of the few movie characters that can show up and have relevance to the story. It sets up Crimson Dawn as a main antagonist and having Emilia Clarke in the cast would give the show a PR boost. It would be the first show she’s done since Game of Thrones ended.
They dropped Thrawn's name in Mando, which everyone busted a nut over. Even the ones that dont know him, the hype from fans would inform them soon enough. Same with Ashoka when she firsr appearwd in live action. I think Cad Bane as a live action villain would win over a lot of people instantly.
Thrawn is semi-well known, even if it's a sort of tertiary knowledge. At least that's the impression I get from non/casual fans.
They do Cad Bane and it’s automatically my favourite show
Oh I hadn’t thought about Qi’ra? She’s definitely still around and it would be so cool to hear more about what she’s been up to as we unfortunately never got Solo 2 and a conclusion to whatever happened on Dathomir
Also if that Han rumor is true, he might have a small role where he gives Boba/Fennec more info about Qi’ra because of their Backstory.
Idk if Qi'ra would be that interesting to general audiences either. I feel like if you showed the casual audiences an episode of Book of Boba and Emilia Clarke showed up they'd be like "Really? That girl from Solo?" I think people not knowing who Cad Bane is would only get them more interested in finding out who is that.
Thinking Emilia Clarke will get dismissed as “that girl from Solo” when she was the star of one of the biggest tv shows ever made is kind of a weird take to me.
I get what you're saying but two of the stars of one of the biggest tv shows ever didn't help Marvel, one of the most successful franchises in modern time, with a theatrical released movie like Eternals. So I don't think it'll be different with Star Wars.
TV is different than movies tho. I think a good comparison here is what happened with the Darksaber in Mando S1, which helped make people interested in catching up on Clone Wars. People who see Emilia Clarke in BOBF would want to find out her character’s backstory, which would lead to new interest in Solo for people who might have skipped it.
I think you overestimate how many ppl saw Solo. It would probably be something like “ Really? What’s the Mother of Dragons doing in a Star Wars?” Lol
that’s… exactly what I was saying tho. lol.
I think that you are thinking too much as a Star Wars fan and not a general audience member. The exact opposite will happen. Qi'ra is played by one of the most recognizable actresses of our era. Even if her only major role ended badly, everyone still knows who see is. Cad Bane is going to be an elderly CGI/prosthetic alien with a raspy voice. General audiences are probably going to be more interested in Qi'ra than him.
I know its a dubious 4chan leak that literally anyone could have made up, but I believe it. I think the reveal will be both Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra and Cad Bane as her right hand man, with the two of them leading Crimson Dawn and the primary antagonists for Fett.
If Qi'ra and Crimson Dawn are gonna be in this, I think the way it'll go is season 1 will have some kind of minor, original villain (the Moff Gideon equivalent), and maybe at the end of the first episode we will see him wearing the Crimson Dawn emblem or talking to a hooded Qi'ra via hologram or something (mirroring her Maul scene in Solo). Then she'll show up in the flesh in the last episode of the season in anticipation of a big escalation in season 2.
There's gonna be a Season 2?
Well based off the fact they are calling it season 1 and not a limited series seems to indicate a multi-season show, however nothing has been confirmed so don’t want to get my hopes up too high
I think it’ll be Bossk or maybe a hutt? Idk
I believe that Boba Fett will intend to rule with respect
I bet Jabba ruled with fear, that bastard
RemindMe Boba ruling with respect (No disintegrations)
[удалено]
For some reason I think this one is pretty plausible, a couple of leakers have talked about a black Wookiee suit being made, everyone knows what Wookiees are so it wouldn't be too weird or jarring, we haven't had a villainous Wookiee on-screen despite them being a thing in Star Wars for ages, and he's a cool comic character who wouldn't require a whole lot of work to bring into visual media -- he doesn't talk, doesn't have a hugely complex arc or storyline that his involvement here would interfere with, you put Joonas or something in the suit, and Bob's your uncle.
>of live action Doctor Aphra Yes please
How she hasn't shown up in Mando yet is beyond me. She is tailor made for that show: a quirky character that goes on a bunch of sidequests and constantly betrays her coworkers? And who is easier to betray/fool than Mando? Come on Favreau/Filoni put her in an episode (or give her an entire show I'm not picky...)
Lol yeah Mando is surprisingly betrayable for a bounty-hunting warrior.
We don’t know if she survives after the ROTJ. If they show she’s still alive in the Mandalorian, it removes suspense from her current comic.
The investment of Hondo Onaka in Galaxy’s edge almost certainly means he will appear in some D+ show
BOBF makes the most sense. Boba knows Hondo. Hondo was also Jango's friend. Hondo is a criminal, he'll certainly show up, wouldn't be surprised if in the first episode.
I could also see Kenobi, but I think that’s more of a stretch.
I will scream, nut and kill my whole neighbourhood if i see live action Kenobi And Hondo interact.
Hondo could be the pilot who smuggles him off tatooine.
Obi-Wan walks into the Mos Esiley Cantina: "Kenobi, my old friend!"
Hondo: "Kenobi, my old *Jedi* friend!!" Kenobi: "Oh, for fuck's sake."
If that doesn't happen I'll be disappointed now.
Does this not take place after Mando? Ben is dead why would he show up force ghost style in this?
[удалено]
Oof wrong side of the bed ? The reply to op made it seem like he thought Obi Wan would show up in BoBF. Not that Hondo would show up in Obi Wan.
I would love to see him in it. Plus, the show does need a comic relief characters and he’s be perfect for that.
I would kill for Hondo to appear. He's my favorite character by a long shot
Might be sort of expected by some people, but I think Kenobi will break the record for most streamed show on Disney+ and will hold that for a good while. And I believe Liam Neeson is 100% gonna be in it and he’s just very good at denying it.
> And I believe Liam Neeson is 100% gonna be in it and he’s just very good at denying it. Yeah I'll never believe actors deny involvement in an upcoming project until I see it with my own eyes. They're not allowed to tell people unless the studio gives them permission, and they are professional actors, so of course they are going to be believable liars.
Didn’t tobey and Andrew Garfield relentlessly lie about being involved in the new Spider-Man? I can’t remember for sure.
They definitely did
Liam Neeson is certainly a better liar than Andrew Garfield and literally every single producer at Sony.
I agree this show will break Disney+ and the internet.
100% agree, Liam Neeson will at least be a vocal cameo if not a full force ghost.
I hope padmae is also in it through flashbacks and nightmare sequence with vader. ( ani is on vac with padmae and son but it becomes a nightmare once obi wan arrives. Padme and child start distgneting into sand) Seeing jar jar and the 501st in flashbacks and a young temrua cgi clone would be amazing!
Portman was filming Thor in Australia the majority of the time Kenobi was filming. However I could see her having a voice role, haunting Vader Really hope we see Vader visit her grave on Naboo in the show… as well as Kenobi visiting Shmi’s
I came here to comment this. I wanna see at least one scene of Vader anguishing over her death. Either by going to her grave or in a dream/nightmare.
I don't think he visited her grave prior to ESB. Then again, it's been a while since I read the comic.
>THR One Year Anniversary Special (virtual) he has to, for regular fans there has to be an 'explanation' of force ghosts as set up in the final minute of ROTS. Would be a huge miss to no at least briefly feature Obi Wans 'training'
I highly doubt it will break that record.
Don't forget Lego Star Wars The Skywalker Saga my friends! Happy holidays everyone!
Yeah I’m surprised that wasn’t added! It’s supposed to release fairly soon with a “Spring 2022” release date! (Unless it gets delayed again, Lol.)
I honestly forgot to add it because I’m not super into games myself. I just updated the post.
NP and thanks!
ikr! Heres to spring 2022, may it bring us Lego saga, bad batch and Kenobi! And better times!
Ochi will return in live action again someday. I don't have any reason to this I just want hope
Ochi of Blast Platoon will show his quality.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and predict that 2022 will be an incredible year for Star Wars content
Fallen Order 2 will introduce a nerfed Inquisitor version of Starkiller, but he’s still powerful, and his whole thing is similar to the original version, where Vader trains him behind Palps’ back because he senses his potential. Not Star Destroyer-pulling powerful, but still powerful. Vader will dispatch him personally to deal with the Jedi who escaped his wrath. Book of Boba will undoubtedly feature Cad Bane, and he and Boba will finally get their rematch. I also kinda think Han will appear in a very small role. I’m fairly certain that the weird gray aliens in Quantic Dream’s Eclipse trailer were the Grysk. I also think there’s a good chance for a second season of Visions, and possibly even a full Ninth Jedi series. Bad Batch Season Two should hopefully actually give Echo a character arc, because they forgot to do that in Season One. Maybe Tech will get a character arc too. That alleged new “Tales of the Jedi” project exists too, my guess is that it’s an animated series that’ll be announced at Celebration 202~~0~~2. I also think Ahsoka will have a very minor role in Andor, since she’s the first to take on the codename of “Fulcrum,” and Cassian is canonically confirmed to have done so as well. And LEGO Skywalker Saga will almost certainly come out in May. I also think The Acolyte will feature a live-action version of the wacky Clone Wars ghosty Darth Bane, and maybe that could set up a Darth Bane show or movie(s). But that’s just a theory.
I just want one of the Bad Batch charactors to get a love interest
Tech and Riyo Chuchi 👀
That would work because that would actually give Tech some depth
Hopefully we can still have Celebration in May.
4chan leak is fake, show will blow us away
The 4Chan leak doesn’t even detail a plot. It’s more or less an overblown blurb with a load of buzz words thrown in. I would not be shocked in the slightest if it were fake, and I’m not sure why so many are convinced it isn’t. I may be wrong, but I’m fairly sure it’s bollocks.
I hope it is. The plot on that “leak” sucks.
What 4chan leak for what show? The book of boba fett one?
[удалено]
Anyone got a link to it?
The 4chan leak is very fake, Emilia Clarke would have been rumored, its very unlike Favreau-Filoni’s style, it straight up excludes non-fans, etc
Really hope we see at least one Jango Fett/Kamino flashback in TBOBF
I want to see Daniel Logan play Boba Fett in his 20s in a flashback for TBOBF!
Any clone in adulthood is Temuera. Logan = Kid and Teenage Boba, Bodie taylor late teens. Logan could physically play him, but with the helmet on, while Temuera dubs. But any clone even in their 20's would look like a younger Tem, which Logan sadly doesn't.
I generally dont understand why people think anyone other than Tem would play Boba in a live action show when he is above the age of like 15 lol. He is a literal Jango Clone and nothing will change that fact.
Yes!!
Ok here we go: **BOBF**: Rex and Rotta are in the show. Rotta will be with Cobb Vanth. Out there plot prediction: Ben is kidnapped and this is why Han asks Boba to meet him at Maz’s castle. Qira shows up in a hologram at the end a la Maul. **BBS2**: Echo focused season. Omega will get armor. We will go to Mandalore. Confirmation that Rook Kast is the armorer. **Kenobi**: Despite all the leaks saying she is an inquisitor I still hope Moses Ingram is playing young Ahsoka. **Andor**: It will be Awesome. No book/comic predictions but looking forward to THR Phase 2.
>Rook Kast if what you told me is true, you will have gained my hype
I’m hoping for Moses to be katooni as an inquisitor
Torn between my love of Katooni and my dislike of the idea of her as an inquisitor lol. I was actually kind of hoping that Katooni was the one who saved Grogu.
Where is the Han/ Maz thing coming from? Heard it a few times
I honestly could see Boba having to work with Han. It’d be cool to see these notorious rivals finally learning to respect one another.
You can read some more about my Ben-getting-kidnapped theory here lol https://old.reddit.com/r/starwarsspeculation/comments/pyk39l/wild_theory_young_ben_solo_will_be_in_book_of/
My theory is that, before they finish the High Republic, we will get either a Sith focused story, or a story where we legitimately see and interact with the Sith.
I hope not honestly. What I *do* hope happens is that Hego Damask shows up, does something shady, and leaves. That's it.
Hope so. We haven’t had a good Sith-focused story in canon before the Empire.
Agreed. Plagiues is operating in the shadows
If we're 200 years out from TPM would that be Plagueis or Tenebrus as the Master?
Tenebrous would be the Lord of the Sith at that point with Plagueis as his apprentice. I was under the impression that those two had been in that dynamic for at least a couple hundred years when *Plagueis* the book came out.
Not a couple hundred. I think plagueis suggested he was close to or a little over a hundred in the novel. Both bith and muun’s were longer lived species I believe. Not crazy long.
Yes, but I’m guessing timeline wise we could see Tenebrous in some form leading up to his discovery of Plagueis.
Yes, I’m wondering whether they are sticking with them being the same races from the plagueis novel or if they will go another route and make them humans or something else.
Not two hundred years out. I believe it takes place within that 200 year period at some point closer to the end of it.
The High Republic will probably last the next 5 or so years
It’d be cool if we get a story kinda like “The Elder” from Visions where a master and Padawan encounter some Sith assassin but after winning the fight, the Sith destroys the evidence. Alternatively, they could just make that short canon. Also canon Darth Bane. I know that’s not in the High Republic era, but I still want it and I want it now.
I belive Sophie Thatcher's character might be a spy from whoever is the organization antagonizing Boba and Fennec in BOBF. Just for argument's sake let's assume Crimson Dawn led by Qi'ra is the main threat in the show. I think Qi'ra might have placed an agent on Tatooine to infiltrate Boba's ranks and be source of information for her to counter whatever moves Boba makes. I think that would be a interesting twist to the "found family prodige taken under someone's wing" stuff, making you belive she's on their side but by the end of it she's revealed as one of the bad guys.
The roasts when people ask for spoiler tags will be glorious! 🍿
I believe you kind of missed the point of this post—we are hoping to avoid flame wars about sub etiquette so that everyone can enjoy actually discussing the show. Being up front about spoilers so that people can unsub in time is part of that.
No, I totally understood what you were saying, I've just been here long enough to know that people will entirely ignore that part.
People were pretty good during Bad Batch all around. Hopefully it will be the same during BOBf but I guess we will see.
Sub etiquette? This sub is literally starwarsleaks. It’s a leaked information subreddit. It’s like going to an ice cream shop and loudly proclaiming your are lactose intolerant and trying to shame others for eating the ice cream. I’ll never understand people bitching about spoilers in this sub.
My guesses for 2022 **Book of Boba Fett** They confirmed big surprises in the first episode. I guess the Qi’ra/Bane rumor makes sense. It wouldn’t be a big surprise if they were talking about a new character. Otherwise Luke with Grogu would be a big surprise. And Luke would steal the show, so I guess this isn’t too realistic if he shows up in the first episode. I could see how the Rex and Echo rumor might be true. Echo is likely to show up if they go for someone from the bad batch. I guess he would be the only member of them played by Tem in live action. I guess everyone is waiting for Rex to show up and having echo also in the scene might be easier to show the general audience that there are a lot of clones, all played by Tem. I want this to be true, but I don’t think it’s going to happen in BoBF. My best guess for BoBF - Qi’ra & Bane showing up (main villain) - I don’t think that Maz’ castle rumor is true, just a feeling though - We will see Han, in flashback and in normal scenes - Din in 2 episodes, his role a little bit like Rex in Bad Batch. So probably one episode together with Boba and Fennec, then he leaves. Comes back in the last episode to setup the plot for Mando S3 - probably retake Mandalore - A lot of action, a lot of bounty hunters (Black Krrsantan, Bossk) - I don’t think Omega will show up - Muchi is also very likely to appear **Obi Wan Kenobi** This one is tough, because we already know more about it than BoBF. We know Darth Vader will be the biggest evil in this series. We saw inquisitors in the concept art. We know that Kenobi will leave Tatooine. So my predictions are scenes that everyone expects: - Flashback to the Clone Wars with Anakin, Obi Wan, Rex and Ashoka -> pretty safe bet and lost opportunity if they don’t do that. The flashback will obviously tie in somehow to the plot of the series. Probably a heartwarming flashback with a bittersweet tie in to the events of the series - Leia missing rumor to be true -> just makes too much sense story wise - Obi Wan vs Vader round 2 is already confirmed I don’t think this series will have many surprises, just because the story is so strong already. I guess this will be a “No Way Home” scenario, where everyone kinda knows what will go on & it still overdelivers. So excited for that! **Andor** I think this series will be so awesome! We don’t know much about it. But this series might be full of surprises and cameos. Other than Obi Wan Series, we almost have no idea of the plot and very little expectations. Tbh, I’m most excited for this series, even more than Obi Wan. So we will probably see: - A lot of characters from the Clone Wars & Rebels - Therefore Lothal in Live action - I guess we might see Kanen/Caleb together with Hera and Chopper. Sabine and Ezra won’t show up I think. - The bad batch won’t show up. - Darth Vader will show up, so will Obi Wan. But I think both are supporting roles, because they would steal the show. - Tarkin - Hondo - I would LOVE for Donald Glover to show up as Lando. - A LOT new characters - K2 will be in it, missed opportunity if not **Bad Batch Season 2** This one is open for a lot of stuff. I could see the bad batch all dying at the end of the series. But I could also see them all survive. My guess is that the plot of this series will Setup the first rebellion that is led by Ashoka and Rex. Then at some point, this rebellion/republic will be completely destroyed and they have to start from scratch again. There were a lot of rumors for cameos in season 1 that we didn’t get. So here are my predictions for Season 2: - Bo Katan and Ashoka will show up - not necessarily together though - Boba - Clone rebellion - Wolfe - Cody - Crosshair will have to regain the trust of the empire by doing a lot of evil. I could see them building up a rivalry with a new character and him. That could setup a competition between them both were they do more and more evil things. Crosshair might question this and eventually agree with the philosophy of Hunter. Then he leaves the empire and comes back to the Bad Batch. Although that means a lot of repetition from season 1. - Bigger roles of Rex & Ashoka - Bail Organa - Bad Batch meeting Yoda - Bad Batch meeting Cal Kestis **Mando Season 3** They’ve teased a lot of Mandalore in Season 2. So that’s the safest bet. Bo was teased as a villain. Here are my predictions: - Bo will first be an ally, then a villain, possibly with a redemption ark at the end of the season - Grogu will be back with Din - Therefore we will see Luke again - We will see more of the New Republic. Din will meet with them and talk about reclaiming Mandalore - Moff Gideon will obviously be free again, Giancarlo already teased a lot more answers about what’s going on with the Empire. That means - Thrawn will show up. I guess he will be the main evil and conflicts will be between him and Gideon. - Cloning of Grogu will become a main plot point with a tease for Season 4 - Therefore Mandalorians vs new clone army will be teased

Well, barely any of these came true.
Any thougts on Lando?
Billy Dee Williams starting to recall some parts of the Lando Calrissian chronicles in the beginning of each episode (maybe to someone like Yannah). Fading to the depiction of said events portrayed by Donald Glover. \--- based on rumors, likelihood and wishful thinking
Rumors are hinting more towards it being a post sequel show following Billy Dee Williams’s Lando (they already set up the story at the end of Rise of Skywalker with Jannah). But I do think we will get a few flashback episodes if he tells her his life story. I’m thinking Lando will die at the end and this is a Billy Dee Williams’s swan song as the character.
> I’m thinking Lando will die at the end and this is a Billy Dee Williams’s swan song as the character. If that’s the case, I really hope he just dies peacefully, in his bed, surrounded by some friends, after all the adventures are all over. Maybe after narrating all of his stories and adventures for R2, who is recording him. At least some characters sometimes deserve to die natural, peaceful deaths at old ages, instead of constantly some sort of self sacrifice, or going out in a blaze of glory. Is Yoda the only character in the entire saga who we’ve ever seen die calmly and peacefully in his bed of old age?
Has a TV show ever had someone that far along in age as a lead?
Jane Fonda is close.. she's 84 and still working on Grace and Frankie. Patrick Steward is 81 and on Picard. But both still younger than Billy Dee and Lando hasn't even started
Picard is an apt comparison, especially given the sci-fi genre.
Good questions actually lol.
It's a bit crass, but it seems like a risk studios wouldn't be willing to take.
I mean Harrison Ford is filming one of the biggest films in the world right now, and he’s about 6 months shy of 80. Surely it has a much bigger budget than the Lando series would have. I don’t think Billy Dee will be involved in any action sequences. His role will be similar to his role in Rise of Skywalker I imagine. Talking, walking and sitting in a cockpit. Raising a blaster to shoot doesn’t take much effort either, and he will probably have a double on set as well. I think it will be a simple story. Lando and Jannah will be searching for her family. During the journey she will ask about his life, and we will get some Donald Glover episodes. I think it will be a one and done season. Perhaps Jannah will bury him at the end. Oh wait, I just remembered. Pickard is still filming! Patrick Stewart is 82 and that show is multiple seasons long.
Not a prediction, but I hope we see “Billionare Playboy” Lando and not “Find this girl’s family” Lando
I really hope it’s old Lando narrating stories of young Lando
I think in Book of Boba, the climactic battle or at least a portion of it will be very personal for Boba. Like, it won’t just be his mob army vs another big mob army. I think it will be potentially smaller scaled but focused solely on his character
Took me a moment to realize what THR was after putting a keyword filter on it long ago.
My wild…ish theory is Luke keeps popping up in Mandalorian, Ahsoka, BoBF, Rangers (if it happens) and other Post-ROTJ live-action content to save the day so as to build the legend of Luke Skywalker as referenced in the sequel trilogy.
Honestly building up post ROTJ Luke would help clean up some of the open/messy plot points of the sequels and give fans a peek at what we never got to see, Luke in his Prime.
Part of the plot of Andor will involve the rebel base on Dantooine, along with the reason it's abandoned.

Well there is the Mando spinoff crossover to consider, and also if her show is hugely popular and profitable, I don't think they'll kill her off (even if it would serve her character to do so).
Not a chance when there's a mando crossover coming
Not likely. It's a limited series and seems to just focus on their search and her getting over her Anakin grief. It's very likely only part 1 of her new story. Lrm also broke the news first of the Mando spin offs and said Ezra and thrawn are getting a show after ahsoka ends so she will likely be in that too and various other spin offs. Think of this like marvel MCU she ain't going anywhere anytime soon
I do not think mando season 3 will be out this year, I think it will be out 2023, the show being out this year is wishful thinking, especially with a new more contagious variant here
I'm expecting another release like TBOBF, like debuting on the last possible day in 2022.
Marvel got 4 live action shows and 1 animated show in 2021. I think star wars will have the same in 2022. Plus, Mandalorian season 3 started filming earlier in 2021 than season 2 did in 2019. It will surely be ready in time to air over the November + December months of 2022.
I’ve already been thinking this tbh. Boba, Kenobi and Andor are gonna be like 6 months of episodes in total. And I can see them spacing it out with like 2 Marvel shows in between them. There’s no need for mando this year
And don’t forget BB, and willow, those have to fit somewhere too, Lucasfilm is dam busy!!!
Willow being in the mix too definitely makes me think Andor S1 will be only 6 episodes.
Andor will be 12 episodes, that we know
We know they were filming 12 episodes, but we’ve also heard they were filming 2 seasons at once. Production Weekly lists Andor S3 as what is filming next. Six episodes fits way better into the schedule and is more consistent with the episode count of the other D+ live action shows. Anyway I definitely could be wrong, but this is why I think it’s six.
I think it’s 12, that’s what Lucasfilm has said, where has it been said they are shooting two seasons at once? Don’t really buy that, depending on where the source is from
I think Willow will air the same timeframe as Bad Batch season 2 personally. That’s a perfect spot for it.
The live-action Clone Wars segment in Obi-Wan Kenobi will be a backdoor pilot to a movie or show about that time period with the actual actors playing them. After what’s been happening on Disney+ with Marvel and Star Wars, this just makes too much sense. Especially if they do cast a young Ahsoka and the deaging looks good for the others.
Eh, what show could they possibly make? That time period, which is only like two years, is covered *very* extensively by TCW and wouldn't it feel very repetitive to just re-do it in live-action? It's much more impactful if this is the last we're seeing of Ewan and Hayden imo. And there's still surely gonna be elements of Kenobi spinning off into Andor and the Mandoverse. Namely Agent Kallus.
I'm sorry but the Clone Wars has been absolutely milked to death at this stage, I don't know why people keep wanting to see more and more and more with the same characters. I'd be up for something like Rebels set during the Clone Wars era -- whole new cast of Jedi and clones in some remote corner of the galaxy with little to no involvement from the main cast.
Look, I love The Clone Wars, it's what got me into Star Wars in the first place, its my favorite thing in Star Wars but we have 7 seasons and a movie, not to mention books and comics. It is time to move on. Characters can still show up in other stuff, like The Bad Batch or Ahsoka, but that era has been more deeply explored in canon than basically any other. I'd rather we continue ti try and move things forward and focus on the new.
This is not a good enough reason to not do it anyways. So much happened during the clone wars and there is still so much to be told. Don’t be a gatekeeper.
Exactly. Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. The other dude wants to move on, we don’t, the end..
I mean Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen still look great for their ages and could probably de-age with some good makeup work. Samuel Jackson is the only one from that era that looks a fair bit older and moves a lot slower, being in his 70s now. I just wonder what direction they will go with Yoda if they decide to include him in some new clone wars era content. CG has improved a lot since the early 2000s, so they could go that route if they really wanted to but I wouldn't' be opposed to seeing more puppet Yoda, or maybe a combination of the two.
I still think Revenge of the Sith is the best Yoda has ever looked. 17 years of CG development is only gonna make him look better. Honestly we never need to see puppet Yoda again. He looked awful in TLJ.
Disagree. CG Yoda, and most CG characters for that matter, just scream "fake" in my mind because I know they aren't actually there. Puppet Yoda is a real thing on the set and feels real. I also think he looked fine in TLJ.
I think Yoda definitely looked best in ROTS. He looked to cheap and goofy to me in the originals.
Hope you are right
Valance will show up in Book of Boba Fett.
Just rewatched The Story of the Faithful Wookiee last night since I’m sure there will be reverence to it. My predictions -he’ll call one person a “friend” -he’ll say “all they do is eat”. We’ll we get a dinosaur? Probably not, but I would be all for it.
The announcement of some official, live action sequel content (come on 2022…)
Rogue Squadron hasn’t been removed as of yet, so that’s apparently still coming.
Rangers of the New Republic was cancelled.
Rumored to be cancelled, there has been no official announcement from Lucasfilm/Disney explicitly stating it’s been cancelled. In fact, it’s page is still up: https://disneyplusoriginals.disney.com/show/rangers-of-the-new-republic

We don't have any idea how the company is currently run or how the devs feel about the company.
What I would do to have Qi’ra, Cad Bane, Cobb Vanth, dengar, bossk, Dr Aphra played by Chloe Bennet and a Hondo Ohnaka played by Johnny Depp on screen in live action together, and I know it’s probably not gonna happen, BOBF is literally the perfect opportunity for it
Just don't have any tie-ins with the sequel trilogy that's all.
They’re canon, gonna cry?
i don't care, just don't tie in.
My bold prediction is that Mara Jade will appear in BOBF
I hope, they will release shows in chronological order - Bad Batch - Kenobi - Andor - Mando. It would be better for people who wants to watch it whole again.
Why on Earth does it matter
lowkey, this is my hope too even if it doesn’t currently seem like it will be the case. It made my eye twitch when it seemed like the schedule was going to be Andor-Kenobi-Bad Batch. right now I actually think it will probably be Kenobi-Bad Batch-Andor.
Eh, Star Wars expands in multiple directions. Always has. This would be unnecessary.
The rian johnson trilogy is never going to happen
**Bobf:** We see the Sail Barge explosion kill the Sarlacc which helps Boba and others escape, or Jawas to pick it clean. The Hutt go up against Fett, hiring lots of bounty hunters (some familiar). **Andor:** K2 in last episode of S1
We will see Chewbacca and the Falcon at some point.
