After the stories of Jango and Boba Fett, another warrior emerges in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian is set after the fall of the Empire and before the emergence of the First Order. We follow the travails of a lone gunfighter in the outer reaches of the galaxy far from the authority of the New Republic.
The series will be written and executive produced by Emmy-nominated producer and actor Jon Favreau, as previously announced, with Dave Filoni (Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels) directing the first episode.
Additional episodic directors include Deborah Chow (Jessica Jones), Rick Famuyiwa (Dope), Bryce Dallas Howard (Solemates), and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok).
It will be executive produced by Jon Favreau, Dave Filoni, Kathleen Kennedy, and Colin Wilson. Karen Gilchrist will serve as co-executive producer. Stay tuned to StarWars.com for updates.

While that's possible, George Lucas would be absolutely pissed if Favreau and Filoni changed the meaning of that line in TESB.
He was so pissed at Abrams for changing Anakin's story arc that he refused to go to the Premiere and hasn't spoken to him since.
I can't imagine Filoni wanting to go down that road, as he still relies on George all the time. Plus, George often visits the set of the Mandalorian, which would end if they made that change. [Reply]

I think it makes total sense.
Harvest Grogu's blood for use in experimental clone bodies. Once they've found the right "formula", Sidious could then have his blood harvested for use in a clone body, then transfer his consciousness into said body.
Boom! Sidious is reincarnated.
And it doesn't necessarily need to connect to the sequel trilogy, as it was the Sith that reincarnated him. [Reply]

Who, other than Sidious, would have wanted Grogu for those types of experiments?
And Sidious was cloned in early Dark Horse comics so it can be completely unrelated to the sequels.
I mean, sure. It still just fucking sucks to me.
And if Favreau and Filoni are who I think they are, they didn't care for it either.
ROTS is trash. It should never be heard from ever again.

Yeah, I watched a dork video that decoded it. Then decoded all the descriptions of the dudes on Cara Dune's screen.

I don't know that they'll hammer the Sideous route so hard, but the dork videos I've seen are all pretty convinced they're setting up the beginnings of the first order.
They've done a really good job this season of subverting expectations. Even with the leaks and trailers, nobody saw the krayt dragon coming, nobody saw Boba Fett returning last week, nobody saw them going straight to Tython or the child shooting a giant force beam into the sky. Nobody saw the Razor Crest exploding, or Dark Troopers being introduced, or a hundred other things. So my guess is that we can come up with a thousand different ideas for what's going to happen and where it's gonna go, and none of them will be right. [Reply]
