I loved that book. Nice epilogue to the High Republic and it’s my favorite version of Vernestra.

Exactly. I feel like that applies for 90% of the “criticisms” I see these days, especially about Mando for some reason.

even that has a different scope than when he had the crest.

What a great scene. I know the Crest will always be classic but I love the N-1 scenes and dogfights.

I’m a day late but can’t believe it’s been two years since “Fallen Jedi.” As much as I love the first three episodes, this one is where the show really started cooking for me. The fights, the scenery of Seatos, Sabine’s decision, Peter Ramsey’s direction, the ending… all make for great viewing.

Watching the Mandalorian & Grogu Celebration trailer again just to feel something

Recently rewatched the first and last (for now) episodes of The Mandalorian back-to-back. Viewing them this way really drove home the growth of the characters and the increased scope of the series. Really great stuff. Can’t wait for the movie next year.
