Since in the predictions there's room for a 2 Part arc in Season 8... I think a 2 part Boba arc would have been good for that spot. Presumably Boba would have killed Bane in season 6 Bountt Hunter arc. Maybe season 8 we see Boba get his ship back and that sets him up for the next era. It would also be the most opportune time to feature Hondo one last time since he has Slave 1... although Boba probably would have Potato is Awesomeed his Potato Rules up as well and that would be the end of Hondo's little pirate gang, not that there was much left by season 8.
Otherwise the last of Hondo would be Season 5 and that doesn't seem right.

Trailer is number one trending on YouTube.... Never would’ve thought Really? I cannot see this because I get the Dutch trending page (and TCW is not popular here). If that is true it should be a pretty clear message for Disney: People want this. Give us more. |

But so I don't have to have watched rebels to appreciate the arcs? Because I didn't watch lol. If they release SOD, DD, and Bounty Hunters I will happily buy every Rebels season on Blu-ray. Not even kidding. Don't encourage Disney to make more Rebels style series. |

If they make this right (or as right as it can be) then I give them full permission to make as much unwatchable animation as they want. |

OH, and that "Padme Arc" was the same as the Mon Cala arc...  So many corrections now. So actually: Season 6: 1-13. The Lost Missions 14-17. Utapau 18-21. Bounty Hunters Season 7: 1-4. Bad Batch 5-8. Ahsoka's Walkabout 9-12. Dark Disciple part 1 13-16. Kashyyyk 17-18. Vong 19-22. Son of Dathomir Season 8: 1-4. Rex/R2 5-8. Sith Temple 9-12. Dark Disciple part 2 13-16. Mon Cala 17-20. Siege of Mandalore Or something like that... Honestly I don't like that Ahsoka would be featured so much in season 7-8, possibly end of season 6. A 2 episode arc by herself in season 7 and then the siege of Manadalore would be enough for her I think. It takes away from her leaving the order to feature her so prominently especially after how much of her they gave us in season 5 as kind of a send off... I wonder what the Sith Temple one would be about, maybe they discover Palpatine lair on coruscant kinda like in the Labrynth of Evil book. Rex/ R2 sounds pretty boring honestly, that's probably when D-Squad would come back. Although I'd bet Gregor would have made his Clone Wars return in that arc as well. Mon Cala arc sounds boring, we 100% dont need that IMO especially if it's 3-4 episodes. Do kinda wish they just had one arc planned that was just a battle type of arc like Umbara 2.0. For the outer rim sieges For the Sith Temple arc, they apparently go underneath the Jedi Temple and at some point Sidious gets involved (there's a sketch of Ahsoka holding back his force lightning from behind a door using her lightsabers). I think it all starts because Ahsoka finds out someone's trying to kill Yoda. Yeah I'm getting D-Squad flashbacks from the sound of the Rex/R2 arc. I think there were going to be a couple reprogrammed Super Battle Droids in it too (this was also a sketch that DF made). |

Despite knowing what happens in Siege of Mandalore, I still think it's the most important arc to get animated. But Bounty Hunters, Son of Dathomir, and Dark Disciple are all pretty important as well so I'm really hoping we get them at some point (also the Sith Temple arc sounds cool).

Yeah I watched Filoni talk about the Sith temple thing yesterday... It sounded really cool. The only way I see that being part of these 12 episodes is if the focus is going to be entirely on Ahsoka. |

Honestly im not sure if that exact base shot will be in an actual episode... that seems like such a weird angle for a Clone Wars scene and the rotating camera and stuff... just seemed weird. Maybe at the very start of an episode when Tom Kane narrator is talking and transitions into the actual episode but yeah I get a weird vibe from that That was the Anaxes base I'm pretty sure the same shot was in the bad batch reel. But I don't remember all those venators |

But really though, it is annoying how everyone assumes there will be more than 12 episodes if people like this. (that's their counter to anyone who complains how much they're skipping over)

Part of me feels that even though we're getting the Siege of Mandalore, is it going to be the same as the original plan? Like if Disney didn't buy Star Wars, would Filoni really have had Ahsoka, Rex, and Darth Maul all survive past Episode III? Part of me says heck no. So the original ending would have likely been much darker than what we'll get.

IDK, I feel like Dave wanted to have those three survive. George apparently always wanted to kill off Ahsoka, but I think Dave ended up convincing him otherwise before the Disney buyout. That's not 100% confirmed of course, just speculation. But I get the feeling Filoni always wanted to do an animated series set during the Dark Times after TCW, and it would have had cameos from Ahsoka, Rex, and Maul. If Disney had not bought Lucasfilm, then we still would have gotten a Rebels-type series, but it likely would have been a bit more mature than Rebels.

Also, maybe that clip at Anaxes base was just a test shot? Or something made specifically made for the trailer? It's a pretty cinematic shot with how it's all one take, so it might not necessarily be something we'll see in the episode. Who knows. I think you can also see the Bad Batch's shuttle in the background as the camera pans out to the Venators.

Honestly, I think Dave got way too sentimental on that one. I mean, letting her survive Order 66 is fine, but her continued existence after meeting Vader seemed way too forced and I can't help thinking he would've tried doing the same thing if they ever did do a Rebels style series without Disney. |

The best thing IMO would be to have the last episode take place after ROTS and have Vader kill her. And kill Maul in the Battle of Mandalore and Rex during Order 66.

Some of those arcs (Mon Cala, Rex/ R2, etc) don't seem that important or interesting. I would've much preferred another arc or two similar to Umbara and Geonosis but with the focus on the Outer Rim Sieges.

I think you can also see the Bad Batch's shuttle in the background as the camera pans out to the Venators. The beginning of the first bad batch episode shows a similar shot but I think there's one cut in it. And Anakin Rex and that Rambo dude aren't walking out. I'm sure they decided to change some things or Iike you said this just is a test and won't actually be used |

I'm worried four episodes for Siege of Mandalore won't be enough for Dave to get the the exact ending he wanted. Remember how he was saying he wanted to show stuff from ROTS from a different perspective? I mean if it's like a little montage in the last episode maybe that works... I would rather just have Anakin and Obi-Wan being called to save the Chancellor and show why Anakin doesn't help Ahsoka

I'm actually still unsure if we will get Bad Batch arc. Pretty sure Anaxes was always a major Republic/ empire military base so just having that doesn't mean we will get that arc.
I could them going kinda out there and have. Kashyyyk arc or something since it directly ties into ROTS.

If that is true it should be a pretty clear message for Disney: People want this. Give us more. To be fair you go look at the view counts for pretty much any Star Wars trailer (Movies, TCW, Rebels, Video Games, etc) and it probably made it into the top 3 of the trending lists, mainly depending on what it had to go up against I guess. No popular movie trailers released this week so TCW doesn't have any real competition I guess. |

But yeah until we know otherwise I don't think the Bad Batch arc should be seen as a guarantee...
I'm still going to keep my main expectations as Utapau, Bad Batch and Siege of Mandalore but it could be different

Just thinking deeper on this... let's be honest Dave knows that the hardcore loyalists would probabakt be a bit disappointed if Bad Batch and Utapau were included in the 12 episodes since many have seen them.
And if Dave gets this chance to show the end of TCW and only has 12 episodes to work with... does he really choose Utapau and Bad Batch to show? From a cost perspective sure, it's efficient and I guess it removes saving some stories only half complete which some might argue that a half complete story reel is somewhat worse then a story not being told since a story untold could be delivered in a book or comic whereas a story reel won't have that opportunity

I'm surprised we're questioning if it is. If a scene from it is in the trailer, then that's probably a certainty the arc's part of the season at least. I mean, sure it's a bit bittersweet to get that for the final season and not something like bounty hunters, or Dark Disciple, but that's how the cookie's crumbling right now. |

I'm feeling they don't have as many people working on this as the original show had to cut costs because we all know how expensive the original was. I wonder if they are finished with all 12 episodes and are waiting for Disney's new platform or they are still finishing Mandalore. I imagine they did not just now start and Utapau and Bad Batch are well underway/finished. It shouldn't take them that long to do four episodes so perhaps they will start working on more if they have the funds.
But they don't really need to do more even though they were planned. As long as they get an ending for the show, I doubt Disney would want to keep spending money on it

Granted, I still doubt we'll see seeing a final, final season. |

So many corrections now. So actually:
it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
