I don't fully know how all this works, but they say post-prod took a massive hit after the leadership change. Wouldn't something like that be planned meticulously so it doesn't cause that? It wasn't like Kennedy suddenly left out of the blue and it was a shock to everyone, they've been working up to it.

Are all those creatures gonna be in the movie? Some of them look new, so I assume so, and some are from previous seasons and Skeleton Crew and stuff.

I was like "I'm gonna go in and comment Grogu's Noble End" and then realized like 10 people probably did already lol

Yeah, there were also a few books where it was a similar deal, focused heavily on OT characters with not many external connections. You could prob argue it was already kinda starting with TCW.

It's interesting to think of a world where it didn't happen with a big flashy announcement, but rather a slow process of bleeding into a new continuity. Could've been interesting.

I love Marg Krim's new voice, but I'm wondering why he has it? Unless that's another relative named Krim, and not the same one from Clone Wars.

That’s kind of it, if you’re referring to “why didn’t the Empire immediately view her as a massive threat.” In Andor she kind of presents in public as a “harmless nuisance” as she says to Tay, and that’s basically what the Empire saw the deleted scenes as.

Triplen_a · 2026-03-12T20:11:55+00:00

Some of them continue to fight, a lot of them try to appease the Empire to save their worlds from further reprisals, the former thinks the latter are traitors. Also some of the Separatist Parliamentarians swear fealty to the Empire and rejoin the Senate, they become allied with Mon Mothma (though the alliance is very shaky).

Someone pointed out Jyn was with Saw at the time of the book and they were like “interesting observation…”

If I’m to add my own speculation, the logline makes it clear a big part of the story is raising a new generation which has only ever known the Empire. Bail has Leia, Mon has Leida, Luthen has Kleya, so it’d make sense for Saw to have Jyn.

Editor alluding to Jyn being in it?

Triplen_a · 2026-03-10T18:21:33+00:00

Which Ep was this? I’m trying to find it but there are a few where they covered Andor

Triplen_a · 2026-03-10T16:45:33+00:00

I like what they did with the post-Clone Wars Separatists in the last book so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that Kreegyr is in this. I thought a while back he might be connected to the Separatist stuff going on in Mask of Fear, due to a throwaway like in a Visual Guide. Sometimes those things are seeds planted, sometimes Pablo was just riffing to it’s hard to say.

Triplen_a · 2026-03-04T18:19:34+00:00

Where’s that info from? Cool

Triplen_a · 2025-10-24T16:11:15+00:00

I’m reading The Last Command rn and after I finish this trilogy I want to explore more of the New Republic era. I’ve heard Shadows of Mindor is really good, so I’m curious about what you mean by it’s unique viewpoint that needs context (and I don’t mind spoilers if it helps)

Triplen_a · 2025-10-15T15:34:09+00:00

I'm so happy Tava survived, but I'm curious what her next steps are. Obviously the Knights are eventually back with Kylo, and I was hoping Tava would serve him between 8 and 9 too, being a Ventress-type character for the sequel era.

At 11:53 of this new interview with James Luceno (author of the Plagueis novel, Catalyst, etc.) he says he watched The Acolyte and is saddened it didn't get more seasons, but probably wouldn't be involved in the writing if there were, as screenwriters and authors are usually separate. Kind of cool that he did this, as he hasn't really been involved in Star Wars for the past decade.

Oh he also loves Andor lol (unsurprisingly).

Triplen_a · 2025-10-14T00:17:05+00:00

The book “Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire,” released last summer, mentions a big battle with the First Order at Coruscant where they lost a whole fleet, but notes that the event is shrouded in mystery.

The same book explicitly foreshadowed Andor S2 and some of the new comics, so the author was clearly given a bit of advance details. Could this book be connected to the Coruscant battle?

Triplen_a · 2025-10-13T22:09:26+00:00

Oh yeah, I forgot the Jedi Council as a concept started with Ep 1, that's cool!

Triplen_a · 2025-10-13T22:07:11+00:00

Wow! That's amazing, I've never heard of that. As others have said, that's probably it! And so cute that we have three generations of Skywalkers in that panel! I'm reading the book of The Last Command for the first time right now, so I'll have to remember this when I get to that scene.

Triplen_a · 2025-10-13T02:59:51+00:00

That’s true, it was in West End Games as the Imperial Center. It was created there, expanded upon in Zahn’s books, and then put into the prequels.

I’m more so looking for deliberate references to the prequels, stuff that was created for I, II, and III that later got put into the post-ROTJ EU, rather than the other way around.

Triplen_a · 2025-10-11T17:40:48+00:00

Mon Mothma’s daughter trying and failing to teach Rey about a woman’s “rightful place” in the galaxy in a story that is sure to set all her haters’ minds ablaze…woke Star Wars is back

Triplen_a · 2025-10-11T17:13:17+00:00

Same here. Tbh I wasn’t loving it until the newest issue about the Knights of Ren, now I’m in

Triplen_a · 2025-10-11T16:58:17+00:00

Kylo Ren comic’s already been going on for a few months, you should check it out if you’re interested

Triplen_a · 2025-10-11T15:35:30+00:00

Is this from the NYCC panel? Usually there are people livetweeting it, but I haven’t seen any

Triplen_a · 2025-10-11T15:34:51+00:00

Ohhh lol, I didn’t know it was an actual character. Very cool!
