Seems pretty likely that The Mandalorian is going to use "the world between worlds" stuff to avoid/retcon/whatever the ST. No idea if it will be any good, but anything is better than just directly tying into the ST.

The use of the World Between Worlds in Rebels already created a multiverse. I haven't seen any other person acknowledge it yet, but whether Filoni intended to or not, he *already* established a multiverse in SW that can't be undone unless you decanonize Rebels.
The only other way out of the multiverse already existing is to say that all the onscreen events in canon are taking place in a closed-loop timeline. But that would mean predestined outcomes for every action taken by every character...EVER. Yoda's line about the future always in motion would be total bull****. In this type of reality, Ezra would be in absolutely no danger of dying throughout the *3 years* between Ahsoka's duel with Vader and Ezra yanking her out of there. He'd have to be alive to end up making it possible for Ahsoka to be hanging out in secret the whole time, and with her memories of Ezra saving her. Otherwise, if Ezra could've died at any point in the interim, we've got a multiverse.
So, since SW already exists within the framework of a multiverse, just run with it. It's gonna provide me with the perfect excuse to consider the theatrical OT (with Shaw Anakin) it's own official parallel timeline/reality, and I can dismiss the PT because it only lines up with the changes made in eventual "Special Editions" with Hayden's Anakin and new ESB dialogue between Vader and the Emperor. I'm all for it.
In a SW multiverse reality, I can finally have an official canon timeline where Han shoots first, Vader is aware of Luke, Anakin turned to the dark side later in life, and no stupid version of Jabba's band ever existed. Bring. It. On.
the retcon is coming!

Communication disruption can mean only one thing....Trump
I've finally gotten to watch all the Mando episodes. Wow that was a fun ride! Too bad the ending of S2 got spoiled for me before I got to watch it (too many damn pesky headlines). Finally a relatively positive SW thread here. 
Retcon or not.... I hate the idea of time travel / multiverses in SW.
This could hurt SW for me... I would rather have them just ignore the ST or declare it non canon than introduce multiverse crap... blah.

Ignore it. It isn't canon. What makes it "canon?" A piece of paper that a mega-corporation bought for billions of dollars?
It was a steaming pile of horse**** and it never even happened. Just ignore it. This is the way.

Yeah, then you'd have A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away... except for the bits that weren't as long ago and were in a different universe.
Great point and proof that the live-action films that we have now will always be the true canon and the multiverse TV stuff will be its own lesser side canon should they go that route.

I'm not crazy about the idea either, but then you also know my opinion about moving The Mandalorian forward and meanwhile cementing the place of the ST into the story and universe forever. Of course I'm in favor of flat out retcon, but I can't imagine that happening with Kennedy around even if she is just a figurehead. Disney is the company that just banned Peter Pan and Dumbo after all. No idea how exactly Favreau and Filoni navigate this but it does now seem sorta likely the multiverse stuff will be in play.

Are you lumping The Mandalorian season 1 and 2 into the "TV stuff" you speak of? I don't think it's status as a TV show diminishes it at all, it's second in relevance as Star Wars content only to the OT films themselves in my opinion.
Just rewatching the Jedi scenes here (both Ahsoka and Luke's). I really like how the Jedi are portrayed as overpowered warriors to be feared here. Ahsoka cutting down her foes through the mist and Luke just mowing down DTs was just awesome. Also loved how effortless it was for Luke especially when compared to Gideon's rather wild swings.
Now I am curious on the history of Mandalorians and the Jedi and how they would have had any hope of fighting against a Jedi master (even with Beskar amor).

The ST is and always will be "cemented into the story." The only question is whether Mando recognizes that fact, ignores it, or makes itself a lesser canon by contradicting it.

I didn't say "the TV stuff" I said "the multiverse TV stuff." And a multiverse just doesn't jive with a singular narrative that occurred at a fixed place and time as "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" implies. So if Mando Season 3 or Ahsoka or any other show says that there's a multiverse with all these different parallel OT's, ST's, whatever then I'll just ignore the whole thing as non-canon nonsense.
Mando Season 1 and 2 fit perfectly IMO with the Skywalker Saga (despite CG Luke being my least favorite Luke) so I'm sure I'll always accept it as canon.
