- I also made inhuman noises at that name-drop, but it was a whole episode full of them, and the noise I made when Ahsoka flipped her lightsaber around to backhand it (after I had literally just finished grumping that she was fighting much too conventionally) might have been even louder.
- I can't help but think that Talon Karrde & Mara Jade would be a GREAT fit for the world of the Mandalorian. Mara Jade has to be the biggest EU character that hasn't been worked back in at this point, right, after the Solo kids who have been retconned out of existence?
- I am, like, the only person on the planet who is actually grumpy that Boba Fett is back. I don't get the fascination with the character, even after the deeper backstory we got in The Clone Wars.
- Mara Jade is one of those characters (Along with Corran Horn) that I'd love to see worked in somehow. She has a lot of extra baggage there though, and she's a little less versatile than Thrawn is, if that makes sense.
- Boba Fett. Eh, I can take him or leave him, but I definitely lean more towards the overrated argument. I'll be interested in seeing what they do with him though, and it's nice to see more characters of color.
That does make sense, she does have a ton of baggage. I was trying to explain her specific spot in the 'verse to Matt the other day and he was confused.
Agreed on getting Temuera Morrison back! I was hoping he'd be Rex.
(And I forgot to say earlier, I'm glad Tiki is doing better!)
Thoughts!

This feels like a good representation of how I feel: https://twitter.com/fivesgirlfriend/status/1332437523268853763?s=21&fbclid=IwAR077mb9QEGbeEVEjh07Mlhc-C_-IwxuS3vNImyRuPOyCEbIwndwLV37nWQ
And thanks. I'm glad that he's better as well.

No, there’s a book that I was reading about it, but that’s definitely something I’m gonna bookmark!
