I've seen some theories on that, could be interesting to see how they explain that. There's about 20-25 years between this and the new trilogy, so I am hoping he's with Mando at the end.

I don’t think I’m spoiling anything here since we’re talking about 7, 8, and 9 here but:

We probably don’t see mention of him because all we learn of Luke’s work to revive the Jedi is that Ben was the star pupil and turned on them.

I’d love to have them do a series where we see more of that story!

I’m enjoying the series’s more than movies since there’s so much more time to develop things over a 7-8 hour season vs a 2-3 hour movie.

I'm really excited about this one. Temuera Morrison killed it in the role of Boba Fett. I don't feel like the movies showed how bad@** of a character he was, Darth Vader even told him not to disintegrate anyone and we didn't see that. This Boba Fett could...with his bare hands.

speaking of disruptor rifles... for those who'd like to learn more:

Yep.  I’m ordering some books.

I've been a star wars Junkie since my dad first sat me down to watch it on VHS.

Fell out of touch a little with the Disney acquisition as I had read so many of the extended universe books and was a little miffed that it was all being thrown away. 

Slowly getting back into the Wars now that my kids are showing an interest.

Ah yes, VHS!  Before they edited them.  Those are we’re the best.

I think I still have a set of the VHS tapes somewhere, but haven't had a VCR in a long time. I think mine were edited, though.

We had taped the first time Star Wars was broadcast on CBS. On Betamax. Definitely don’t have that tape anymore

I had the distinct pleasure of getting the crap scared out of me watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre on Beta... my cousins who were much older thought it would be funny... that was probably 1990-92 time frame, their dad had one.

My childhood terror was IT, inflicted on me by my older brother. He told my very young impressionable self it was a movie about clowns.....

There's a good number of things from the now Legends books that are incorporated into the newer stories (Thrawn, for instance) or they have characters that are amalgams of Legends characters. I read a lot of those books also, but I get why Disney wanted to go their own way. It's all good, at least for me.

yeah .. Rogue One is GREAT! Caught it shortly after it came out; pretty well done and fills in a good section of the entire storyline.
Just started streaming "Solo" (thru TBS .. has ads); a little more than 1/2 way through .. liking this one, too! They really created an interesting "feel" of another side of the whole Star Wars universe 

It's one of my favorites. Such great characters and an amazing story of sacrifice for the greater good.

Take Dead Aim

[Shankster]

Going to convince the kids today that a full marathon of Star Wars will make Santa show up faster...

I might get vetoed by the boss unfortunately...

[golfinnut]

I just binged the Mandalorian ... thought it was pretty good.  The ending though .... cool 

[Shankster]

Wife and kids went for a walk... when they returned... Mando was on... I am blaming it on the force.

You've raised them well. 

[Shankster]

Made it through season 1 of Mando, Episode 1, most of 2, and now I am on to R1.

Got an animatronic Baby Yoda lol.

That is awesome!

So I just started my boys on Star Wars; doing it chronologically rather than by movie release order, so they’ve seen Episodes 1 and 2 and now we’ve started The Clone Wars.  I feel funny being a grown @ss man watching a cartoon but it’s actually pretty good.

The funny part is my oldest is running around saying “I’m Anakin Skywalker!” Boy is he in for a surprise...

The clone wars are actually what got me into the series lol. It’s a good one, now I have myself watching mandalorian as they come out

Anyone else watching Boba Fett?  Episode 5 was amazing.

Also, can’t wait for the next season of Mando, and the Kenobi series to drop…

I'm enjoying Boba Fett so far and have to agree with you that episode 5 was the best of the series so far. It's been building up good to hopefully what'll be a good last couple of episodes. 

Also, I'm looking forward to the next season of Mando.

Same.  I waited for all of the Yellowstone to be out.

Man, I don’t have the discipline.  Wednesday nights I’m watching the new one as soon as the kids are out…

[Shankster]

I’m a bit lost on the future of this show (Boba Fett), if there is a season 2 it could be cool…

I get why they did the things they did, but it was kind of jumbled.  Glad to have an old favorite to watch here and there.  Ready for May, and probably December for Mando S3.

Too bad they don’t have enough writers to have these every quarter, with such a large fan base, and potential story lines, it could be a never ending story, all year long.

Yeah first three episodes are slow but I like the background they are diving into
