Some may say that was fan service bringing in Luke like that. But after The Last Jedi doing the complete opposite, fans needed this. It was as if Favreau and Felani knew how the general Star Wars fanbase felt about that movie, and wanted to make amends. Just imagine if them and Lucas made the sequels, sighs.


I think a possiblity is that there could be a long term plan with Grogu, possibly setting up movies that take place long after the sequels in the timeline. His and Yodas species lives for like closer to 1000 years or so, so maybe few decades or a century or two later perhaps? Obviously he either escaped or was elsewhere when Luke lost his academy, maybe Asokha ended up taking him which would could explain why she wasnt in the sequels.

On a side note, I think they recognize the sequels were generally failures though Force Awakens stands out as the best one. Everything we will get from them going forwards will sidestep those movies and create their universe similar to what Marvel has done.

Agreed all around. While I loved the cinematography and acting of TLJ, I wasn’t a fan of the narrative. The Force Awakens is still my 2nd favorite Skywalker film.

One issue of TLJ was the only badass Luke we got to see was his astral projection. Still a great scene, but we never truly saw him as a Jedi master of immense power. Like you said, Favreau and Filoni saw that mistake and we got to see that with this scene.

Agreed that Grogu has an exit strategy from the academy and will be used for stories hundreds of years later on.

The issue with Ahsoka’s story is we know she’s dead by Rise. I’m looking forward to seeing her show serve as a sequel for Rebels, and that may mean her finding Ezra and Ezra eventually training Grogu.
