I'm now feeling a lot better about this ending than I did on release, since it's been confirmed the show is getting a second season and it won't be on the shoulders of the upcoming theatrical film ending of the Filoni-verse to wrap all this up in addition to everything else it'll have to do. It was already announced that Thrawn would be the main villain of that film so we knew he wouldn't be defeated for good, but it was a big shocking move just how much the season allowed him to come out on top, and ideally a lot of fans are now left burning to see him go down in the end. And they managed a perfect balance of success with it so we're not left on a total down note with Ahsoka's decisive and permanent victory over Elsbeth, though I'm sad to see Bruce Lee's goddaughter go. And that sadly brings us to the subject of Ray Stevenson. He was only 58 years old and unlike Chadwick Boseman didn't even seem to have any clear health issues in his final months, so clearly no one had any idea he wouldn't be around anymore and they figured they'd be fine leaving Baylan's story to be continued in Season 2. And much as it pains me to say it, I think it's pretty clear that recasting is the only option here. The next best idea I can come up with is shoving all the future plans for him onto Shin in addition to her own story, and that clearly could never work anywhere near as well and just lead to neither side getting proper focus. I have no idea as yet who the replacement could actually be; the one actor who readily comes to mind as being able to bring the same vibe and power that Stevenson did to the role is Brian Cox, and at his age it's a distinct possibility that he also wouldn't live to finish the story, which I'm sure they want to do everything humanly possible to minimize the risk of. Fan reaction to this show was decidedly mixed in comparison to the more uniform takes (for good or bad) of Mandalorian and Boba Fett, but I really liked it and I'm glad we're getting more. Next up is Skeleton Crew this summer, which we should be getting a trailer for any day now. I can't wait.

I was perfectly fine with the ending on its initial broadcast. I already assumed events in the show would be followed up with. Even if not an actual second season, it would still carry on in the Thrawn movie, The Mandalorian, maybe even The Book of Boba Fett if that were to get another season. (I keep hoping for more of that.) To hear Ahsoka will have a second season does have me greatly excited. Thrawn being the primary villain of the Filoni-verse going forward was known to me entering this show, hence my (relative) patience for him to arrive, and I knew that he would live past the Ahsoka show. I lived for him in this show and how he came out on top. My brother’s slightly wishing we got more of the Thrawn from the books of old, to which I explained that to the show’s defense, we’re seeing Thrawn at a fraction of his strength and power. Not to mention his being removed from the game ten years ago now. And we will doubtlessly get the Thrawn of the trilogy of old somewhere down the line. My brother concedes all that, he still is somewhat foaming at the mouth to see Thrawn as he remembers from the books, which aside from telling him that he needs to see Clone Wars and Rebels, I do sympathize by saying, “Oh no, I understand and share the desire.” Like you said, we do get the heroic triumph of Ahsoka killing Morgan. Sad to see Diana go, though I like how apparently, she had a hand in crafting Morgan’s death; the exact manner in which it happened. Again, there was no indication about Ray’s death being anything people thought would happen. He was born only six years after my parents and like you said, by all accounts, was completely healthy until his death. Through my own family, I find it’s all a crapshoot anyway. What would help with the Darrining is that we don’t have decades upon decades with Baylan, thus making it easier for another actor to fill in, painfully sad though it will be. Brian Cox, I’ll take him in anything, and would love to see him in Star Wars, period. One idea I heard get brought up for Baylan was Graham McTavish. I heard that, mulled it over some, thought, “That would be satisfactory, provided he would want to do it and isn’t too busy with for example House of the Messy.” I have loved each live action Star Wars shows with only minimal complaints, and the complaints I’ve had, I’ve moved past. This show was excellent. I heard The Acolyte was this summer as well. Whatever is next, I’m just looking forward to more good Star Wars with great interest.

And of course Bad Batch tonight. There’s a certain character in the trailers I’m especially eager to see again, though I do wish it had been left a surprise like certain others in the show.

Without specifying, there are a few characters that I’m especially eager to see again.

Brian Cox was a good friend of my dad growing up. They were in the same class at school and lived beside each other. Man that fella did well! An alternative is to have Baylan suffer a hideous injury which would open up further actors for a recast, but perhaps that would be a foolish way to treat the character, and Ray's legacy. I thought it was The Acolyte that was next up in June after Bad Batch finishes? Interested too in Skeleton Crew even though I'm not much of a fan of Jude Law. My issue with this episode was that the action scenes were given dominance over what Baylan and Shin was getting up to, and the meeting between Ezra and Hera needed a hug. This series was a lot of fun, but it felt like we were really getting our teeth into it, when it ended. And that an issue with 8-episode seasons. This show needed to be 10 episodes to help flesh out Baylan more, Sabine's journey to feeling the force, and one or two other scenes that explained things in greater depth. I still had a blast with this, but if it just had a bit more, then it would have reached season 1 of Mando for me in terms of live tv Star Wars.

This was written just a few days before the surprise announcement of Acolyte's release date.
