Mando woulda done OK against them with the dark saber
Watched Mandalorian and now I am confused: Where are we within the Star Wars timeline? I fully expected Kylo or Rei coming but not a young Luke.
Itâs set much more recently after Return of the Jedi and long before Force Awakens. Imagine this as the aftermath of Truce at Bakura.
Sad to see this bad boy erased from canon. It opened up the Star Wars expanded universe bigly.
No sooner has Darth Vaderâs funeral pyre burned to ashes on Endor than the Alliance intercepts a call for help from a far-flung Imperial outpost. Bakura is on the edge of known space and the first to meet the Ssi-ruuk, cold-blooded reptilian invaders who, once allied with the now dead Emperor, are approaching Imperial space with only one goal; total domination. Princess Leia sees the mission as an opportunity to achieve a diplomatic victory for the Alliance. But it assumes even greater importance when a vision of Obi-Wan Kenobi appears to Luke Skywalker with the message that he must go to Bakura-or risk losing everything the Rebels have fought so desperately to achieve.
Ok but then baby yoda played no role in the latest star wars films and Luke was still alive.
I assume they will either explain any seeming inconsistencies or go ten seasons that ignore whatever didnât work in the new movies.
The assumption is baby Yoda died when Kylo destroyed the Jedi Academy
Not sure what you mean about Luke. He is alive because this is set before his death in Last Jedi.
Perhaps you are confusing Return of the Jedi with Last Jedi?
About five years after Return of the Jedi, twenty-five years before The Force Awakens.
I meant if Luke is still alive in the films then Baby Yoda should be too if doesnt die somehow. Yet he didnt play a role. Not sure how I should feel about that because he was such a main focus in the series yet is still a child. If he dies before being a grown up that takes away a lot of the appeal of the series for me. Why should I care about him. Probably watch the clone wars next.
I binged S2 this weekend. Meh. Itâs so formulaic and predictable. Feels like a procedural. Mando goes to new planet. Mando needs to do quest to fix ship / gayher Intel / etc. Last couple episodes of the season were good. Had to be Luke that showed up, and it was pretty cool.
This show is just straight up fan service. I didnât hate it, though.

I hear you. I see this two ways.
One is that the whole motivation of Mando to become someone greater than what he was trained to be is represented by his goal to save the child at all costs.
If we know that kid eventually dies a gruesome death anyway, hunted down and slaughtered like a dog by the pupil of the very Jedi that supposedly saved himâdoesnât that retroactively make us feel like Mandoâs entire arc to save the child was horrifying?
Itâs almost like moments after the credits ran in Return of the Jedi, a cloaked second Death Star appeared and destroyed Endor along with Luke, Leia, Han, and everyone else. Not that the ending to Return of the Jedi wasnât euphoric, but knowing what happened moments afterwardâŚ!
The second way is that unless life and death is the point of a story, for me the tension comes from what happens on the way to that endpoint. I already assume everyone dies so donât care about revelations like this.
Kylo Ren slaughtered the younglings Luke was training. Speculation is that baby yoda would have been one of them.

Theyâll just have Grogu leave before Kylo Ren kills the younglings. This is Star Wars. They ainât gonna be like âWelp, Luke started training him but Kylo Ren killed him 2 weeks later. What can you do?â

Yes the implication that Mando fulfilled his duty and gave the child to Luke to care for is horrifying knowing what happens to the younglings. The child dying then makes sense if the events of the sequels remain canon. Of course they could write around it and not have Yoda with Luke at that time.
lmao this is completely worthless as a discussion. Its not like they made the season 2 finale and said âok thats good enough, no one really liked that baby yoda thing anyways, next season weâre going to forget all about him and mando will never see him againâ.

Who knows if heâs even dead? There are fun fan theories that Ashoka disappeared for a while because she goes into the Sith temple and sort of becomes one with the force, which will ultimately lead to time travel erasing the new trilogy.
They can offer any number of explanations for why the characters werenât present despite not being dead, such as with Ashoka not popping in to help Luke defeat the Emperor in RotJ.
If this timeline is correct then Kylo is just a very young kid. So baby Yoda is gonna get at least 10 years of training before Kylo goes dark. Thatâs not gonna be an easy kill for Kylo.
Also, I think I read this somewhere, but isnât âbabyâ Yoda like 50yrs old or something? And didnât he seem to have some training in the past, that he has just forgotten. Also, heâs tossing around stormtroopers and stopping giant animals with the force without really knowing shit. Heâs on the trajectory to becoming Yoda level (i.e., essentially unbeatable).
Baby Yodaâs species ages differently. Youâre right heâs 50 years old now. In 10 years time he could still be a baby and an easy kill for a trained force user.
Maybe they age differently, but do they learn more slowly? Kid is powerful AF and will have at least 10 yrs of training before Kylo would take a shot at him.
Who knows?? They can make up anything I guess.
Well, this is the force weâre talking about. According to the OG Yoda, size doesnât matter. All that should matter is his knowledge of the force. Even if he remains baby-sized, he should be extremely tough to defeat in 10 yrs time.
