Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

Amen to this. I wish I had time to read those Thrawn novels. I've heard nothing but good things.
I think this is the Faverau/Filoni plan They are just taking baby steps, drawing out & building up the Thrawn story slowly over several shows. Faverau is a huge fan of deepfake tech. Great tool to tell more post-ROTJ stories (Luke's Jedi Academy, Mara Jade, Thrawn, reuniting Han & Luke onscreen, etc) that everyone assumed there was no chance of happening after Episodes 7-9. I'm all for it.
Introducing live action Thrawn & Luke's Jedi academy over the next 5 years of Disney+ will make everyone forget about the Rey Trilogy. Thrawn is one hell of a great character.

Quoted from kvan99:

A new interview with director Robert Rodriguez and producer/writer Dave Filoni seems to suggest that The Book of Boba Fett will have non-stop cameos, and also span the entire Star Wars saga. Wild speculation ahead!
THE CASE FOR FLASHBACKS IN THE BOOK OF BOBA FETT
Although we’ve assumed that the majority of The Book of Boba Fett will, like The Mandalorian, take place nine years after the Battle of Yavin, there’s nothing stopping the series from doing extensive flashbacks to other moments in Boba Fett’s life. Fett never took his helmet off in the classic films, so it would be very easy for Lucasfilm to facilitate time jumps. No deepfakes. No CGI de-aging. Just leave his helmet on! Like Darth Vader crashing Rogue One, Boba Fett can appear in any era of Star Wars simply because he’s most recognizable when we don’t see his face.
This fact, combined with the word “book” in the title of the new show, makes it feel very possible that we could be looking at a series that spans Boba Fett’s life, not just his machinations post-Return of the Jedi. One comment from Dave Filoni seems to double-down on that idea, and tease the possibility of huge cameos from classic characters.
“Boba gives us a direct connection to the Star Wars saga since he was involved in that story...This creates a nice crossover point for both classic characters and new characters. Much of The Mandalorian was new or had not been seen onscreen. Through Boba Fett, we can weave some of those characters and tales together using a character we know but don’t know a lot about.”

Quoted from TheLaw:

Maul was legendary. He got 4 minutes screen time, and ibhad to watch 10 of Galactic Senate meetings. I've sat thru A LOT of government meetings in my life, I dont need them in SW

Quoted from HoakyPoaky:

Go back & watch Mando S1E1, then rewatch Mando S3E4. Show has completely 180 shifted its tone.
It was cool following a badass bounty hunter. Now I don't know WTF the show is. Bounty hunter sees the light, seeks redemption. I'd rather watch Boba Fett in ESB just standing around & looking cool AF for 60 minutes. Or finally seeing Cad Bane in the flesh, then only to be killed in the next episode. Absurd.
And btw, the last episode was 32 minutes. They can't even fill out a season's worth of 45 minute+ full episode content. Can't blame them I guess, when really nothing important is going on.
They rushed the story. Moved way too fast. Suffers as a result. Filoni can't help himself by turning anything he's involved with into one of his kiddie content cartoons. Ashoka show will really show who is running this fluff writing. Is it Filoni or is it Faveraeu?

retconning the post-ROTJ time period & making Kennedy's Rey Trilogy forgotten

Quoted from Friengineer:

Question from the uninformed: Does Thrawn know the emperor is dead?

Quoted from gdonovan:

It's been a long time but in the books I'm pretty sure he knew the emperor was dead, hence "long live the empire"

Quoted from gdonovan:

In the original books he had been banished out to the outer rim due to the emperor despising non-humans. He still rose up through the ranks despite this. I'm pretty sure he is aware the emperor is dead and wishes to restore the empire from the republic.

Quoted from Methos:

Meh. Lots of Corporate talk like "re-alighling", "rightsizing", "leveraging",etc.
I don't see anything that targets the true reason for Disney's demise....

Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

If you want good Star Wars books read the Thrawn trilogy. Considered non cannon now but pretty much all the non sucky parts of newer Star Wars are lifted from here.[quoted image]
