Got another one of these pointless Hasbro update emails today... maybe I can expect to get one on the 28th of every month until it finally ships?

No worries - we are on the same page when it comes to those turds.

TV-9D9 / Re: Andor (SPOILERS possible)
« Last post by Jeff on April 28, 2025, 06:04 PM »I'll have to go watch those old Rebel's episodes you mentioned. I'm sure I've seen them at least once, but the reference doesn't sound familiar.
After thinking about the Rebels connection the other day, I went back and rewatched a few of those later episodes. I forgot just how much Bail and Mon showed up in some of those episodes and how much is really kind of relevant to what's going to happen in Andor.
We got Rebels cameos in Rogue One (Chopper, The Ghost, "paging General Syndulla") which started to make me wonder if we'll get any here too? If this were a Filoni show, I'd say absolutely we could expect to see Hera and Chopper in Andor S2, but not sure Gilroy is open to playing with things that way.

Thanks for the background. I never did pick up the RPG stuff.

« Last post by Jeff on April 28, 2025, 03:11 PM »What canon media does the Ghorman massacre come from?
Started with an RPG sourcebook back in the 90s - The Rebel Alliance Sourcebook, 1990. In that Legends version, the Ghorman massacre involved Tarkin (and how Tarkin was promoted to a Moff) and was the event that pushed a lot of Senators (like Bail Organa) to join up with Mon Mothma in starting the rebellion.
In the newer Disney canon, it pops up in the Forged in Battle sourcebook for Fantasy Flight Games' Star Wars: Age of Rebellion roleplaying game (2016). Then, it got name dropped in the Star Wars Rebels episode "Secret Cargo", which is totally worth rewatching that Rebels arc as it is heavy in Mon Mothma/early Rebellion stuff probably very closely related to what's going to happen in Andor's later arcs.
It pops up in a lot more detail in the "fake historical non-fiction" book Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire (which is an awesome book - it's supposed to be an in-universe history textbook that looks back on the empire like our history books look back on WW2 or something). Also pops up in various places over the years (Sansweet's Star Wars Encyclopedia from late 90s; Rogue One Visual Dictionary, etc.).
One of things that's been referenced and referred to by lots of things but never dealt with this directly until Andor Season 2.
