I think this episode is setting up other series.  I think the Warlord could be Thrawn, which I assume would be featured in Ahsoka... 


In the first episode, there is convo about Marshall Dune and how she was recruited by the New Republic.  Rumors say that Carano and Disney made amends (won't believe it until I see official word), so maybe the Rangers spin-off could still be in the works?  I would think a Rangers spin-off would show the bureaucracy of the New Republic and how that helped usher in the the formation of the First Order.

But I agree that it's weird that The Mandalorian shifted from its main storyline to show what's going on with Pershing and the New Republic.  Kind of felt like Book of Boba Fett when they spent some episodes with Din, Luke, and Grogu.

I've read that this other Imperial warlord could possibly be one who will have a role in another, future live-action Star Wars show (but has been seen in animated shows and books).

Could be.  But to me it has to actually be shown on the show or said by the creators otherwise we’re just backfilling from the peanut gallery.

It's not that important in the long run, I figure.  It was just a way to show the mythosaur.

Another enjoyable episode.  Definitely have some questions that I'm sure will get answered in an upcoming episode.

After last night's episode, I feel like Rex and Echo will have their own show (and possibly team up with Cody) while Crosshair will see the proverbial light about the Empire and have a redemption arc so that he can team back up with the rest of the batch.

Opened this set up today and while I'm happy to have it, I must say I'm disappointed that Hasbro didn't make alternate hands for some of the band members like they did for the Black Series version... especially for holding the bandfill, playing the ommni box, or drums.  Feels like Hasbro simply cut corners to appease fans.   

I'm not really big into the Expanded Universe, but I think I"ll put concept figures and vintage decoed here.

The rules are simple: post your wishlist for the 20 6" figures or send them to me.  At the end of the month, I’ll tally up the votes and we’ll move on to the next theme.
