Please don't be bad. All I have ever wanted is Star wars to delve into all of their rich lore. That isn't surrounding that like 60 year Skywalker period. We are forced to consume. Please don't fuck this up disney.

You want another story set in Mos Eisley, got it

You joke, but "Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina" was legit great. Everything that I hoped would be on film when Disney bought Star Wars...

Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina

I loved that book as a kid! Tales of the Bounty Hunters, too. I'm excited for the possibility that Acolyte could be something like those, and branch out into some new territory. I also know Disney is terrified of the possibility of alienating even the most casual watcher, so I'm also emotionally prepared for this to turn into GONK: The Beginning or some other OT prop origin story.

I wouldnt mind a cocaine fueled acid trip in a space scifi again.

Grandpa wookie is the most badass character in starwars. "the space nazis are trashing my apartment looking for my renegade son. I should put on some porn in the living room"

Starwars was at its absolute zenith with the holiday special.

Sort of agree. A whole universe to play in and we have to follow the same characters all the time.

My trust in Filoni and Favreau is absolute. those motherfuckers can do no wrong!

This series is some SWEU adaptation, and deals with (among other things) the rise of Palpy and related characters. It’s supposed to take place outside the timeline of The Skywalker Saga (finally!)
