There are 10 people in the entire galaxy and they ALL know each other
And 4 of them are clone soldiers with a dark past they're trying to make amends for.
This one has a pretty reasonable connection.
Zeb is close with Hera, Hera’s close with Ahsoka, Ahsoka knows Grogu+Mando bc Jedi shit.
Oh and Mando knows Bo Katan who knows Ahsoka + Hera + Zeb + Sabine who’s a mandalorian.
This one time, unless they randomly happen upon each other instead of deliberately meeting, this isn’t a case of small galaxy, it’s just a case of “These are shows about this connected group of people”
It makes sense. Zeb knows Bombo. Bombo visited Uyun Poot's Saloon in Legends: Star War X Wing Borb Season 3 Episode 12. (Pause at the 23 minute 11 seconds mark). Guess Who else visited that Saloon? None other than Hupple Swett (in the tie-in novel Admiral Poot and the Gyngul Assault). Yes, THAT Hupple Swett. Remember in Blue Elephant: The Jizz Guy: A Star Wars Story on Disney+, where Sorlac goes to the Qung Moon Station? Who does she fight at the end? Exactly, Ooogon Fetid (the disciple of Hupple Swett in case you're a cueless dweeb). And who had a skippable laser sword fight with Ooogon Fetid in the PS4 game Masters of Thbu Vobb? Dinkle Heinous.
So it makes perfect sense that Zeb shows up in the Bambolorian and Donk Movie
It would maybe make sense if he showed up in ashoka... But yea the mandalorian is basically on a pilgrimage to see every character in star wars that could potentially still be alive.
Glup Shitto reportedly very upset at the snub
Glup Shitto makes me laugh so fucking hard every time I'm reminded of it

Zeb fans are going nuts outside my apartment right now. The streets are flooded with people chanting "ZEB! ZEB! ZEB!". They are dragging everyone from their homes and shaming all those who doubted Zeb before now. I have al my lights off and am trying to stay quiet

Besides Andor, the animated stuff is probably some of the best Disney-era Star Wars.
Also, I still don't see how this Mando movie could be anything but a direct to streaming thing. There's just too much nerd homework for this movie to be released in theaters and make any sense to the average moviegoer.
Homework is why I gave up on the MCU. Even when the movies were shit, if I felt like it, I could still put them on and understand them. They were shit on their own terms.
Now even Deadpool 3 has a joke like: "See this cloud monster that's the least interesting part of this movie? It's actually from the show Loki, available now on Disney Plus!"
I have a tattoo of Chopper. The people in this thread are losers and hate fun
Hey, I might be a loser but I've had fun before and it was alright

The wookieepedia entry is as long as a novel, as I expected.

I thought he was a jacked Yoda but he's actually some other kind of alien, disappointing
Big gains, squats plus oats equal! Cheating, half-reps are!
He's based on the Ralph McQuarrie concept art for Chewbacca
The first thing I do when I come across a wookieepedia article I don't know is to scroll down to "appearances" to see whether I should care or not. Considering it's literally all Rebels or stuff derived from it: no. No I should not.
Rebels is good tho
Watch Rebels, listen to A More Civilized Age
Zeb always kinda sucked and his "generic surly tough guy friend who's a grouchy hardass normally but is secretly a gentle giant with a heart of gold" schtick was really tiring and Rex should've just been "the tough guy" member of the Rebels crew from the start, he's a way more interesting and layered character
Rebels should've just been "The Hera & Kanan Show, also Sabine and Rex are there too and Chopper is a gremlin R2D2"
Ezra gets a pretty good development and arc eventually be he's such a damn wiener kid initially and I also always thought Kanan and Hera should've been the protagonists
Also whenever Ashoka's not on the screen, all the other characters should be looking around asking, "Where's Ashoka?"
In conclusion, the galaxy far, far away is a land of contrasts
Excuse me but Zeb had other character traits, like being Genocide Survivor and then subsequently forgiving the guy that did the genocide
Zeb always kinda sucked and his "generic surly tough guy friend who's a grouchy hardass normally but is secretly a gentle giant with a heart of gold" schtick was really tiring
He's just Steve Blum. Guy voices the same character every time
I do like him a lot in the English dub of The Big O, though.
Filoni was as always at war with himself over whether it should be a new show or him favoring his personal creations he loves
I understand that Ezra was there bc it’s a kids show and they think kids need a pov character to identify with
But idk, when I was a kid I always hated the kid characters in shows, I identified with the adults I dreamed of being, not the kids
Ezra gets a lot better over time though, kinda like Ashoka in early The Clone Wars starting out as an annoying sidekick for Anakin and eventually becoming one of the best characters in the series
Also live action Ezra is dreamy imho
No thank you, I appreciated how rebels was able to live in it's own world without being a part of the main jedi storyline.
Also it was made for kids, and they much prefer big funny purple monster guy over grouchy soldier from some previous media they've never seen before.
Eh, you have a good point about it being consciously more of a kids' show than TCW was by comparison and I still enjoyed the series for the most part but it's strange to me that they wanted to have their cake and eat it too with Rebels. Funny purple alien guy and wacky robot get into hijinks, but also there's stuff for the superfan grown ups like Maul's arc, or the Darksaber and Mandalorian culture stuff with Sabine, or bringing Thrawn back into canon that I feel like is a bit at odds with intentionally being more kid friendly.
spoiler
also really don't like the "world between worlds" stuff despite looking cool, I was convinced before Episode IX came out they were gonna use that for some time travel-y explanation for the Emperor's return and I guess they still thought no explanation was better than that? I still have no clue what happened there tbh
Really tired of the Filoniverse
Grundleman and Bingus is a show I would watch
Grundleman & Bingus 2: Quest For The Plumbus
is that... is that fucking FunnyJunk in the background? I haven't hung out there in like 12 years, last time I peeked at it out of curiosity it was basically imgur but for chuds.
i completely agree with the meme -- i have no idea and i don't want to have any idea about star wars stuff
The Filoniverse is all the worst excesses of the SW Expanded universe stuff, just even less interesting.
Like at least when Kyle Katarn or Dash Rendar randomly show up in a SW novel it was at least kinda endearing if just as creatively bankrupt
Filoni is perpetually stuck in the giddy fanboy mode of
Star Wars enjoyer, which just honestly drives the slop even worseStar Wars is best when it's basically a generic template to put a story into: Mandalorian season 1 is just a generic gunslinger western with a Star Wars framework, Andor is a generic space heist film, etc
His obsession with the Jedi being the ultimate good and his OC that he definitely has been writing fanfic about long before he became a showrunner is just fucking awful. The only good moment in Ahsoka's character story was her leaving the Jedi order after they fucked her over - everything else sucks
The fact that Tony Gilroy doesn't give a fuck about Star Wars definitely contributed to Andor's success lol

hoot and holler when media shows them a thing they've already seen
