Yup.

Unfortunately I feel he was one of the victims of Kylo Ren.

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.

To expand on my prior comment.  I unfortunately feel that he will be among the victims of Kylo Ren at Luke's academy.  Otherwise, I would think that Luke might have made mention to Rey to leave him alone and search him out instead.


All of the above said, we binged the season yesterday and loved it.  Such a great series.  I recognized Timothy Olyphant's voice immediately, and was stoked to see him in it.  It seemed like the perfect scifi role for him, outer space Seth Bullock.  I thought I recognized other voices in the episode, so I went to IMDB right afterwards.  I wouldn't have guessed John Leguizamo in the beginning.  And I was shocked to learn the bar keep serving Marshall Bullock was good ol' Deadwood resident Dan Dority, aka Warren "Franks and Beans" Jensen of There's Something About Mary fame, aka W.
