Disney: "As long as Mando, Grogu, and Ahsoka don't run into sequel characters, it's all good." Okaaaay.

Star Wars fans don't care about continuity. Star Wars fans want to meet and greet with the CHARACTERS from across timelines. Scrap the time period and continuity!

From the Imagineering video:

That's a good match for Ahsoka's arm and lightsaber from Clone Wars Season 7 (without the fingers cut out of the glove)

I mean, the character was practically a robot in both Mando and her show. Yay, another stoic and joyless force user without personality. Cool.

Seriously wonder what this could be for.

As an aside if they put the Siege of Mandalore in theaters for a limited time I’d go see it there. One of the best pieces of Star Wars media ever created. A freaking masterpiece.

I believe this is going next to the rumored interactive water feature at Galaxy's Edge that collects fanboy tears.

Looks like the idea is for an animatronic to actually pick up a lightsaber and maybe even activate it using the Starcruiser tech. The arm is larger than normal as is often the case with human figures that are meant to be seen at a distance.

Yes, but why Ashoka specifically. If it’s just some kind of test surely they’d just need the bare minimum and no extra fluff like someone’s specific characteristics.

Replacing Hondo with another unknown character from the cartoons?

I don’t know if I would say Ahsoka is “unknown”. Way more popular than Hondo and they chose him to headline one of the Galaxy’s Edge attractions

He's more known, however most of us who didn't watch the cartoons don't know either one. She showed up in Mando and I thought it was some terrible character they created to give Rosario a cameo like Jack Black. At least JB had personality. She was bland as Old Spaghetti Factory bread.

I actually liked Hondo’s inclusion.

Is he actually there again or no?

Ahsoka is my favorite SW character so I guess I’m a little biased, but I think her “stoic” personality is the result of the tragic events of the Clone Wars & Rebels. The siege of mandalore and how it leads into Order 66 is some of the best storytelling in all of Star Wars. I highly recommend watching the animated shows

I tried watching the cartoons, but the characters and writing just seemed like it was aimed at children. And for good reason, because it was. But I watched about 15 episodes and stopped because it felt like homework. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either.

The problem I had with all of the cartoon characters in Clone Wars was that they never gave the general audience a reason to care about these characters. Fanbois were excited to see Ahsoka and the lady Mando, but if you were just meeting these characters in their live-action debut, you just didn't care.

Andor did far more. You don't need to watch Rogue One to enjoy Andor, it just is fantastic and features really great writing/directing/acting. You can't rely on previous stories, especially ones that were aimed at small audiences, to do the legwork for characters.

I respect your opinion. I also love Andor. Rouge One is my favorite SW film so I was immediately in love with Andor, the production value doesn't hurt either though.

Hondo was there and working 2 weeks ago. That's the newest information I have.

Confirmed! Galaxy's Edge to get fountain powered by the broken dreams of fans!

If you only knew Luke from "Return of the Jedi" one might think similarly.

Funny thing is the several times I rode Hondo was working perfect, but his droid was either still, or simply turning his head. It wasn't until the last time that I got to see how animated he could be.

Except Luke was not introduced to mass audiences in Return of the Jedi. The movie's first 40 minutes are the end of the previous film.

And RotJ Luke is also my least favourite Luke.
