its not getting ignored by disney in terms of canon.. Sorry if you misunderstood that.
You can proceed to cry.
It might as well be ignored given all current focus of the franchise is on the PT/OT.
First off talking theories is part of being a sw fan.. 2nd.. I sense great fear in you that this show might be making some references to the st.
It?s not making any references. Just another cause of the DESPERATE ST fans trying to gain relevancy and dilute a great show with ST trash.
since kids love sw and kids love legos i would say that disney is appealing to the kids with the lego cartoon.
Those same kids that will grow up and and not understand the hate thrown at the st just like the kids that are adults today that cant understand the hate thrown at the pt.
Those kids will grow up Marvel fans. Look at the numbers. Halloween costume sales to role play toys to action figures, next gen Star Wars fans won?t exist as they do now because of the ST, it will be because of Mando. And Disney knows this. Believe me, Disney knows the ST is radioactive and destroys anything it touches. Mando will lose 75% viewership as soon as it goes down the ST path.
Well that one clone sure looked like snoke.. And if there was a snoke theme then there you have it..
There is also the mention that uniforms of some of the officers are starting to take on a first order look..
There is also the point about a "test subject" being killed. So who knows what is going on there. Palps or snoke maybe.??
If its not then its not.. Its still fun to have theories.
All BS conjecture put out by some dude in a basement with a mic.
Dispute the countless articles talking about Dark Troopers.
So strange to see st haters have such blind hatred for the films that they think a series as popular as mando will suddenly fail if it even hints at the st..
I hated me some pt but tcw gave it new life. Seems like st haters would welcome the same.
Time will tell.. For better or worse the st like the pt its still canon.
ST is irredeemable, as are its fans it seems.
honestly i have no idea about the sales of toys and how it all works.. But lego movies are geared right at the kids and i would assume there must be a reason they focused on the st for the new show.
Toys indicate some form of passion for a franchise. Toys indicate interest. When toys fail for an entire trilogy, there is no passion, no interest, for that franchise. Star Wars made its money on merch and ST ain?t making that money.
aren't the last several pages of this thread a perfect illustration of why disney would have to be stupid af to introduce st subject matter into the mandalorian?
this show, so far, has generated no hate whatsoever. All sides of the fan debates are at least neutral on it, if not outright enjoying it. The discussions, up until these last 2 days, have been about the stories themselves. Risking any association with the st is risking making mando yet another divisive property. That would be an utterly insane thing to do with disney's most popular sw creation.
Personally, i don't care if this show goes there since i'm not an st hater. As apathetic as i've gotten about the st, it could only help me re-embrace it at this point. But if they do go there, i think it's confirmation that only morons and tone-deaf people are in charge of the franchise.
If they want to do for the st what tcw did for the pt, then the right thing to do would be to make an animated show about the new republic era with luke's jedi academy, ben solo's corruption, snoke's ascendancy, and flesh out all the "sith eternal" palpatine nonsense. Have it be its own thing that doesn't pollute something as popular as mando. Keep mando pure to preserve the good will it has (miraculously) built.
They can?t do that animated show because nobody would watch it, not in meaningful numbers anyways. Disney knows the ST is a failure, it?s why they order a Sequel to a Prequel cartoon, The Bad Batch, because people will watch that.
considering that the episode the majority of fans are calling their favorite of the entire series is also the one that seems to link most directly to the st i'll go with "no, they wouldn't be stupid" to continue that trend.
two guys who were 8-10 years old when the pt came out complaining on the internet won't be enough to change the course of the franchise. People were already complaining about mando anyway. "it feels too much like a bad tv show, it has way too much fan service, it's all about the stupid merchandise gimmick of baby yoda, mando got beat up by a girl, mando got beat up by a trump supporter, why do women have ****s, bla bla bla." so adding "wah i hate the st" to the mix will just be more white noise in the background of an already great show.
besides if i have to see tm's face then yeah the pt fans can put on their big boy pants and take a gander at snoke, lol.
I find your lack of faith disturbing.
There are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, who turned their back on the ST. Merch sales show. Disney cares about money and there is no future money in the ST.
an animated lego minifigure captured the magic for you that the on screen actress couldn't, indeed a ringing endorsement!

problem with your argument is that last complaint has already cost disney a couple billion dollars and counting...
Yup. Originally cost em a whole generation of fans too, but Mando possibly saved them.
