    Same for me. I had no idea they'd be announcing this much content. Sheesh where to start? I guess I'll follow the order you established.

    Rangers of the New Republic: Interesting. I am assuming this is the show which will focus on Gina Carrano's character? I've really come to like her character so I'm down. Plus it's by Favreau and Filoni? Yeah, I'm sold on it already.

    Ahsoka: What's not to love? The character is one of my favorite Star Wars characters. Lightsabers will be used so hell to the yeah. :D

    The Mandalorian Obviously this was gonna come back for at least another season. No surprise there. What I found intriguing was the idea of these three shows coming together with a single event (will it be a film released in the cinema or on streaming or...???). So far so good.

    Andor: I might be the only person who has been totally excited by this show, and now I'm really pumped. First of all I love Diego Luna. Second, I love Cold War era spy novels/stories. So the fact that it appears that is what this will be like... Heck yeah! I can't wait for this one. Seriously get this bad boy out already!!!

    Obi Wan Kenobi: my favorite character ever. No more needs to be said about this.

    Lando: Like the original poster, I was never the biggest fan of Lando. I loved Glover's portrayal in Solo, but this doesn't intrigue me much. Unless they tie it into some of the stuff established in Solo, which would be cool.

    The Acolyte: Don't know jack about the writer. Never seen Russian doll or whatever. So I'm agnostic on this one. It does sound interesting, but I'd be lying if I said I was pumped about it or the so-called "High Republic" publishing initiative. Actually I've been disappointed in what they've shown so far with it, so meh. Again, it sounds interesting, but we shall see.

    The Bad Batch: I have to say, this one I'm pretty pumped up for as well. I loved them in TCW's last season, so having a show with them as the focus could be cool as heck. Plus the animation looks fantastic.

    Rogue Squadron: Yeah, sign me up. Top Gun meets Star Wars? Sounds like it will be fun.

    Taika Waititi: So they didn't say much about this, but that it is in the pipeline. This makes me wonder if he's directing the "event" where the three Filoni/Favreau shows come together. It would make sense as he has worked with them in season 1, and that is the sort of idea that has Kevin Feige written all over it (and they did say he was doing something with Star Wars so...). Anyway, I think this one should be good, although I have a nagging voice in the back of my head that is worried. If this isn't the Favreau/Filoni event I am worried it could be a Lord/Miller situation. Probably just crazy thinking on the part of that voice in the back of my head.

    Overall I couldn't be happier. There are two shows that I'm kind of meh about, but that is probably to be expected when you have this much content. Honestly I think it was a good idea to keep this stuff quiet and just work on it and then announce it when they are about to move into production.

    The one that most excites me is 'The Acolyte' new era, new characters, a time when force users are plentiful instead of basically being extinct, and basically the only project that isn't just filling in the gaps between the saga films.

    Can't wait!!!

    I'm excited for all of them. Although yeah, the other TV shows have largely had to work around the canon that the films established first. It'll be really cool to have a series that can chart its own course. :)

    I'm super pumped about Ahsoka and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
    Very excited about The Acolyte, Andor and The Bad Batch (And the Taika Waititi movie).
    Excited for Lando.
    Not too excited for the other announced projects, although I will certainly watch them since it's Star Wars.

    Probably the Acolyte as it has the lowest chance of being a wookiepedia article

    Bad Batch had the best presentation, 'cause of the trailer. But now that the dust has settled, I would say - Andor. It's an underdog, that I am sure would pleasantly surprise all of us.

    I wonder if there is a chance of getting some of the "Solo 2" stories in this series? It would be about the same time-frame and there is plenty of Maul/Qi'Ra/Crimson Dawn/Enfys Nest stories to go around, possibly even Beckett depending on exactly when this series takes place. Not to even mention the actual Han Solo/Chewie stuff they could do.

    I'd expect those to be cameos or one episode stories like on Rebels when Leia or Lando would show up then bounce.
    And if Lando is getting a series this could slide right into that as well but they didn't even announce which Lando we'd be getting.

    I think what bothers me most is the lack of any ST-dedicated content. We had Resistance.... but that was it. Now the closest thing we have is The Mandalorian, which is what, 25+ years pre-TFA ?

    Though, I guess it makes sense in a way. The SW timeline is vast and expansive, and it seems to be Lucasfilm's preference to let things breathe for awhile before adding more content to the same timeline. As in, "wait until the ST starts to feel nostalgic, then we will bring that era back" .... frustrating, but from a marketing standpoint I suppose it works. Has so far, at least.

    Did I dream that they said, in the presentation thingy, that Rogue Squardon will take place shortly after The Rise of Skywalker? :)

    Partially, I think! I've heard so many things I had to go back and listen to the presentation...

    "Rogue Squadron will introduce a new generation of starfighter pilots as their earn their wings and risk their lives in a boundary-pushing, high-speed thrill ride. The legend of Rogue Squadron has been long beloved by Star Wars fans and will move us into a future era of the galaxy."

    So yeah, it probably takes place well after TRoS, but they really didn't commit themselves to any specific timeline. If they stated it this way, I'm guessing that its far enough removed from the ST to not merit any association with it. Interesting in a way..

    Originally it was Obi-Wan Kenobi I was the most excited for, although that was back before the investor's meeting; when it was just that, Andor, and upcoming Mandalorian seasons that'd been announced.

    For right now, I was tempted to vote for Ahsoka; if it ends up being the Rebels sequel that I suspect it'll be, then I am definitely pumped for that. Rangers of the New Republic is also a contender; I really want to learn more about the New Republic in general.

    Ultimately, however, I voted for The Acolyte. Seeing a brand new era and a new cast is just too exciting, and it seems like an interesting concept all around. Star Wars with mystery/thriller element? Yes please. :)

    I'm going with Lando. I don't know why exactly. At first glance it is the one that sticks out the most as "sooo... what is this actually gonna be about??" So for that alone, I turn the hype on in anticipation of being delightfully surprised.

    If there's no Donald Glover attached, hype will be appropriately dialed back. I have a hard time believing they would greenlight the project without DG's involvement, but I also find it strange that they didn't explicitly announce he would be back for it.

    Ahsoka, Kenobi, Bad Batch & Cassian are the ones I'm hyped for. Not sure about the others yet.

    I’m going with Andor & then Kenobi as the others are a bit far off & we don’t know a lot about them.
    Of corse this will probably change as we get more details on the series.
    Out of the remaining series I’m probably most excited for Acolyte as that probably has the most potential to surprise in what they do with it.

    The movie sounds promising - like space Top Gun, but if it is the future why does the title graphic have a T-65 instead of one of the newer X-Wings?

    Yeah, the omission of Glover's name from the project definitely left me wondering... i'd dig a Lando anthology which tells tales between his Solo, Bespin and post-Rebellion era if they could bring Glover and BDW into the game.

    That said though i'd still be stoked with it being set around the Solo era with Glover, especially if it gave the opportunity to bring in cameos/guest appearances by Lobot, Greedo, Dengar, Bossk, 4-LOM etc.

    Visions just doesn't have much of a bite in the title... it's almost like saying 'other stories we can't work out where to place or turn out as full or mini-series'. Sadly, The Bad Batch doesn't do anything for me as I wasn't that fussed with them in TCW. I feel like that era has milked most of its potential tbh. Fennec Shand appearance aside, I didn't think they needed their own show at all.

    I got the feeling from the presentation that this would be an animated series. If so, hopefully it will get a Billy Dee Williams vocal return :D

    Oh, I could definitely be dreaming this, too :rolleyes:
    Can't remember why I got that feeling, though. Perhaps it had something to do with what little was said ('cause surely they would've name-dropped Glover if he was returning to Star Wars, and surely they wouldn't do a new Lando series with a 3rd actor in the main role!), or perhaps it was something to do with where it was dropped in the presentation (with animated show context or whatever), but I came out of the presentation 90% certain Lando's an animated effort. :)
