and that precisely is my point.  He ACTS like a baby.... but perhaps he should be a teenager in mindset by now.
Maybe the child is socially stunted from being isolated. Or perhaps Yoda was advanced from being exposed to the galaxy.

Those are my theories as well.  Connected to the Mando show....have the rumors reached everyone of Timothy Olyphant joining the show in Boba's armor?   This does track with a character hinted at in the Aftermath (barf) novels.  Basically a hardnosed "law man" on Tattoine finds Boba's Armor in a sandcrawler that had been hit by bandits.  So if you've seen Mr. Olyphant in Deadwood he is basically Seth Bullock in Mando Armor.

#$%& that! If Boba didn't survive the sarlacc, how tf did his armor make it out of the creature? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Tim show up, but for Force sake, make it better than that $#!%.

I will have to look for it to confirm if it was canon or not...but I remember reading that after Jabba's death the Sarlacc weakened because it was no longer getting fresh food (even with the digesting for 1000 years) and scavengers (including Jawas) began digging it up and cutting into its various pockets to retrieve items left by its victims.  The armor is described as being acid scorched which seemed to indicate it was Boba's.  This is the character:  https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Cobb_Vanth

On the plus side, further research into Boba confirms that George had always intended for him to survive the sarlacc.

I thought this was canon since Lucas came up with the idea.  Also, isn't Temuera Morrison going to be in season 2?  Either he is playing a clone troper left over from the Clone Wars, a masked character where we never see his face, or Boba.  If not, there's going to have to be some explaining to do as to why he looks like Jango/Boba Fett.

It's all just rumors at the moment. Nothing about all these supposed castings has been confirmed. Likely some of them are true, but we wont know until either season 2 comes out or someone that is in charge actually confirms it. Honestly, I'd rather see Temuera in season 2 than Ahsoka, but whatever.

It was canon when the EU did it....but after Order KK  that all went away and even though Lucas says it...until its in a book,show,comic,video game, movie under Disney it isn't official canon.

I've heard rumors that both Boba and Rex might be showing up. Temuera would be the obvious choice to play both. By clone life expectancy, Rex should be ancient. It'll be interesting to see if they pay attention to that detail.



Wait. I just looked up the Clone Wars......they only lasted THREE years?

Well, if Lucasfilm has learned anything from the recent pear-shaped trilogy, it's "DON'T FRIGGIN ARGUE WITH THE FANS."

As for character appearances, why not both?

One of the biggest issues was they decided to change how Lucasfilm/Star Wars worked.  Why change something that has worked for almost 4 decades.  You know, "If it ain't broke don't fix it."  I know many will state they wanted to bring new fans in....but if you have to change something (that has a large following already) just to drawn in new people...they may not be worth the trouble.  For example.....I do not like Dr. Who.  I don't find it interesting, enjoyable or remotely worth my time.  If all of a sudden the BBC came to me and said "What would make you watch it." and I gave them things that might make me watch it...completely altering the things others like about it...would that be profitable?

Case in point: SW already had a huge fanbase. It was estimated in 2017 that 1/3 internet users were SW fans. By the end of 2019 it fell to 1/4. I would say that constitutes a fanbase in the 1+ BILLION range. What Disney did was effectively said "#$%& you" to the billion that was there, to draw in another 250M.

I found it interesting that the only money Disney is really making on SW is from merch. Ironically, the items of highest interest are in the OT category. The new stuff isn't that popular. Gee, I wonder why? Roll Eyes <he asks facetiously>

Correct.  When examining the longevity if SW....it was the Merch and EU that kept it alive up to the PT.  In the Netflix documentary "The Toys that Made Us" The Star Wars episode mentioned that the revenue for the Merch was double that of the films combined.  It's why Lucas is so rich...he got most of that because of his $1 dollar deal to retain merch rights.  Even then, they aren't making anywhere the amount the should be, like we've discussed before.

Hmm. One would think that the bean counters would have red-flagged this declining trend. Undecided
