    And now Mandalorian seasons 3 and 4 will have more New Republic content.

    Question. As per existing canon, is Chandrila still the capital of the New Republic during the time period of Mando S3? I hope so! Would also be a great mini-connection to Andor.

    Yes as long as Mon Mothma is the Chancellor of The New Republic, Chandrila is the capital. And she has 2-3 more years before she is out. Before it begins to get corrupted.

    So…is it possible Genevieve O’Reilly is in Mando S3, playing Mon Mothma!? Haven’t heard anything about it, but to me it feels like a total no-brainer.

    I’d be quietly confident that she might show up. They’ve got to know that there’s going to be synergy as the first live action show coming off Andor airing. Plus Filoni worked with her a bit during Rebels, so there’s another connection.

    Except, of course, Mon Mothma is played by a different actress in ROTJ, so going with Genevieve O'Reilly post-ROTJ is less likely.

    I don’t know that it’s as big a deal with Mon Mothma as it would be with characters like Luke/Leia/Han/Lando.

    Rogue One and ROTJ is only 4 years apart. They could do it if they wanted to. Or do the whole CGI over her if you must. With us seeing more of The New Republic going forward seeing Mon Mothma will only be matter of time.

    True, but that seems like a pretty simple issue to overcome. O’Reilly looks enough like Blakiston, and the ages match up well enough. It would be silly to let that stand in the way of a good opportunity for connectivity across Rogue One- Andor-Mandalorian. Not to mention that Blakiston was in one scene in ROTJ. This would not be nearly as much of an obstacle as recasting the OT3 during this period. I hope they don’t let it constrain them, in any event. We’ll see.

    Also they already recast Don Dodanna from ANH, in Rogue One. He was as a minor character as Mon Mothma in ROTJ. He was the one who explained the plan of attack on the Death Star.

    It's about damn time we get to see the New Republic in this era. I assume it was meant to appear in Rangers but the future of that project is uncertain if not dead in the water so I'm glad Mandalorian will have a more political aspect in this season.

    This. Mon Mothma at this point should be Caroline Blakiston and given that Blakiston is still alive they can still use her. Just de-age her.

    That would be an insult to O’Reilly, in my view. Who’s a brilliant actor, about the right age, and just turned in one of the best Star Wars acting performances of all time. Given that Andor is fresh in audience minds, it would make a ton of sense to cast her, and very little sense to de-age Blakiston for the role. So people can say “Oh yeah, the Senator from Andor,” rather than “Wait, who is that? Is that supposed to be the same woman as the one from Andor? Oh, it’s the actor from that one scene in ROTJ? Oh, OK.” Recency matters in this case, I think.

    And like Fred said, we got a different actor as Dodonna in Rogue One, not to mention Dr. Evazan.

    Totally fine to have O’Reilly as Mon Mothma during this time period. There would be almost no issue with it across the fandom. Except for @Darth Chiznuk and @TCF-1138. But they’re annoying, so it’s fine to annoy them. ;)

    It would be an insult to O’Reilly to use the original actress in the role for what would probably be no more than a scene or two? That’s ridiculous.

    And Dr. Evazan is under heavy makeup so it doesn’t really matter who plays him (also the cameo does take place before his appearance in ANH so LFL was still following their trend of keeping continuity of appearance intact) and with Dodonna the actor they got to play him looks absolutely nothing like Jan Dodonna so I tend to pretend he’s just a different Rebel officer. Since they don’t name him in the film that works for me. It wouldn’t for Mothma obviously so yes I hope they’d use Blakiston or just not have her appear at all.

    I hope The Mandalorian Season 3's premiere on March 1st is a 3-episode premiere so the season can wrap 2 days before Star Wars Celebration Europe and so Ahsoka's marketing can kick into high-gear with a full first trailer, cast announcements, episode count announcements, and a confirmed release date for Wednesday, August 2nd on Disney+ so Ahsoka can debut in the month where The Clone Wars will have its 15th Anniversary.

    Regarding the O'Reilly vs Blackiston debate, would Blackiston even be interested in reprising the role? She's 89 years old.

    Who knows? But it’s not like she hasn’t been a working actress. Her last role was in 2019.

    At this point I think more people would associated O'Reilly as Mon over Blackiston. And i'm sure Blackiston is happily retired.

    That date’s been floated around and I hope so, but since the show got pushed back a bit that might effect the marketing some.
