    True and we could go 100,000 years in the past or 100,000 years in the future and still no beginning or ending.

    Maybe even explore a whole new galaxy. Anyways let’s talk about leslye headlands show..

    Russian Doll is easily one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. This announcement has me intrigued.

    Just please please please don’t have the female hero of this female-centric show give the villain a big kiss to show her appreciation to them.

    To be fair though Headland took a pretty boring concept that’s been done to death and made an incredibly unique show out of it. I’d trust her.

    Having seen and loved Russian Doll, I trust her almost completely. Just not to do a show about witches. I have too many bad memories about being forced to watch Sabrina the Teenage Witch. Can’t shake the fear.

    She sounds like a strong choice, but I can't bring myself to watch Russian Doll.

    I find myself in a similar situation. I’ve heard a lot of good things about it. I want to watch it eventually I’m just very picky about what and when I watch things. The stars pretty much have to align in the shadow of Jupiter for me to crack into a new series and the I binge it and question why I didn’t earlier.

    I doubt they're going to explore the post-episode IX era for a while at least. Maybe something closer to TFA or during the PT era (the time between TPM and AotC has so much potential) or before TPM.

    I know what the original report said about a different timeline but since the official announcement made no mention of it I’m gonna guess this is the Ahsoka series. Probably with Filoni’s involvement similar to how he’s involved with The Mandalorian. It just seems Disney really wants to capitalize on the character’s popularity which has really never been greater than it is now.

    It’s great and Merrin is a great character. I would love to see more of her.

    It looks super fun, I’ve watched the walkthrough videos of the first two worlds. Recently I got caught up in playing through AC Origins again, so maybe after that.

    I just finished Origins myself. If you like Origins I’m sure you’ll like FO too. The world building in both are the games strongest points. There’s just so much to explore.

    I love a nightsister story, Merrin from fallen order was the best character. MAybe this is the Ahsoka one or Qira one as it involves martial arts.

    See it's perfect for me because I'm a big fan of Natasha Lyonne, so Russian Doll has jumped to the top of my to-watch list.

    I’ve said it in almost every thread but I want new characters. An Aphra, Ahsoka or Merton show would be cool but why can’t we have a new character to love? That’s my hope.

    I thought we were getting that with Mandalorian. And what I mean by that is completely new characters with no relationships with existing characters. We haven’t gotten that in a long time. Maybe not even once since the Disney buyout.

    I want a show or comic or whatever to go it’s whole run without bringing in pre existing characters

    And I mean regardless with every new show there'll be new characters. It won't be all Cassian and K2 all the time- they'll have what I'm sure will be a varied and unique supporting cast.

    So not a Bounty Hunter or Rebel/Resistance fighter or Stormtrooper or Padawan.
    Not an Orphan scraping to survive and find their place in the Galaxy.

    What about some ordinary suburban teenage girl from the high rise flats of Coruscant. Fanning out over hologram videos of music star heartthrobs... sort of a mix of the tween characters seen in lots of Disney series and kids from the high rises of Hong Kong. And this very ordinary, unspecial, kid accidentally finds herself dragged into some increasingly over the top Galactic Adventure.
