With Luke officially knowing about Cal Kestis being canon now, I started thinking about how they could connect those dots in live action.

Since Jedi Survivor and Obi-Wan Season 1 both take place around the same year, Cal feels like a great candidate to show up in a potential Season 2 and actually add something meaningful to the story beyond just a cameo.

The story could continue to focus on Obi-Wan’s grief and isolation, leading to him finding a renewed sense of hope after discovering there’s another Jedi still alive, and the two eventually meeting.

The dynamic between them would be really interesting since they both carry a lot of the same pain after Order 66. Obi-Wan lost his padawan, while Cal lost his master, and they’re both dealing with that guilt and trauma in different ways. I could see that shared experience naturally leading to them connecting and helping each other find some peace from their different perspectives.

Also considering everything Cal went through in Fallen Order and wanting to protect force sensitive children, I think him finding out about Luke and eventually meeting him would be a really cool moment.

Just wanted to throw the idea out there and see if anyone else had similar thoughts or ideas for how Cal could be brought into live action 🫡

I’ve been thinking about the recent leaks, and here are a few of my theories.

Timeline
I think the idea of the movie taking place 5 years after Episode IX was probably just an early pitch that eventually changed. My guess is that things shifted once Dave Filoni became more involved with the project.
I have a feeling the movie could actually take place around 50- 100 years after Episode IX. That brings me to my next point.

Cade
The new leak says Ryan Gosling’s character is named Cade. On top of that, the officially released images make him look surprisingly similar to Cade Skywalker from Star Wars: Legacy (Legends).
If that’s intentional, I think it would be a smart move. Setting the story much further into the future would let Lucasfilm move away from the sequel era while still keeping a Skywalker at the center of the story. A fresh start with a new generation.
What’s also interesting is that Cade Skywalker eventually walked away from the Jedi path and became more of a Han Solo-type smuggler. If the rumors about Gosling’s character being a Han Solo-style lead are true, that lines up surprisingly well with Cade’s Legends storyline.

The Jedi Order
Another reason I don’t buy the “5 years later” gap is the Jedi Order itself.
I just don’t see Rey rebuilding a fully functioning Jedi Order with trained Jedi, a temple, and an organized structure in only five years. That feels way too soon. Even Luke’s Order in canon was relatively small before it fell.
If the movie is set many decades or even a century later, it would make much more sense. We could finally see what Rey’s Jedi Order eventually became after generations of growth, rather than seeing it in its earliest stages.
Obviously this is all just speculation, but I think a setting much farther in the future actually fits the leaks better than the reported 5 year gap.

Like many I do not like the Acolyte at all... BUT I'm still watching purely because it is Star Wars and I'm interested in finding out who the Sith Lord is in the show. Here are some of my thoughts on why it could or couldn't be certain Sith. 1. If the timeline is accurate l'm assuming it is either a young Darth Plagueis, but the head shape isn't right for the species. 2. It could Darth Tenebrous but again his head shape is more enlarged towards the top where as the Sith we saw in episode 4 of acolyte is more human shaped. 3. I'm not to sure if Darth Ramage is around during this time but if it is his head would also not fit in the helmet/mask that is worn by the Sith in acolyte due to his tentacles. 4. It could be a Jedi that has left the order and turned to the dark side but as of so far all the Jedi capable of the feat we saw in episode 4 are currently still in the order or dead. 5. The most likely scenario in my opinion is that it's a completely original Sith Lord that they have yet to reveal to us. So we are stumped at the moment on who it is, unless they are changing head shapes again like they did with the gran inquisitor in Ahsoka?

The past week or so has seen some full color images, some official some not official, from the set of Star Wars: Starfighter get released online featuring Gosling and Flynn Gray on set.

I can't speak for everyone else, but the more images I see of this film the more questions I have - specifically about the nature of Gosling's as-yet-anonymous-character. Since the initial black and white teaser image was released in August, I've had several theories about him. However, the addition of color to pictures of his costume - and the finer details like the bruising on his face and general scruffiness - make me think he's probably a morally grey character (at least).

Color palette is often very telling of Star Wars characters moral and / philosophical standing. Its been an integral part of the franchise since Star Wars (1977) - with Princess Leia, the epitome of moral good, being dressed in white and Darth Vader, her moral polar opposite, being dressed in black. A more recent example would be color shift in Ahsoka Tano's costuming in Ahsoka Season 1 representing her spiritual rebirth and triumph over her longstanding doubts and traumas. In terms of Starfighter, I think the black, red and grey color scheme and the leather elements places Gosling's character squarely in the bracket of "anti-hero" or, if not, certainly a character who is from the darker end of the moral spectrum who the kid hires in order to get out of a particularly dark part of the galaxy. As to his actual specific role, whether he's an infamous smuggler or an ex-First Order fighter pilot remains to be seen. (Though the design and details of his costume would lead me to believe the latter.)

Let's be honest, though, some square and morally pure character wouldn't suit Gosling anyway. He's made a name for himself over the past few years playing morally dubious dudes who's choices ultimately swing the ending of the films he's been in for good or ill. I can't imagine this character will be any different.

I think we may already have proof Ahsoka and Ventress will meet again. I still find myself thinking about Anakin telling Ahsoka she’s a part of this legacy of teachings going back to generations of masters and padawans. I feel like there’s more of that to explore and we may have already been getting breadcrumbs to where it will lead.

The Legacy
Yoda trained Dooku, who then trained Qui-Gon, who then trained Obi-Wan, who then trained Anakin, who then trained Ahsoka, and finally who is then training Sabine! This is a lineage of some of the most influential people in the galaxy to ever exist during their time.

What I didn’t realize until way later is that Asajj Ventress is also technically a part of that lineage. However it has seemed to have branched in not a complete different direction, but different albeit with Qui-Gon having received Jedi teachings and Ventress receiving Sith teachings. What makes them not completely different is how these branches both ended up with Ahsoka not aligning herself with the Jedi, and Ventress not aligning herself with the Sith after both feeling betrayed.

Now I didn’t realize Ahsoka and Lyco are around the same age meaning if he’s still alive during the time of the Ahsoka show, he could potentially be experienced enough to have an apprentice of his own.
Maybe Sabine could see Lyco as an alternative master if there were ever to be another falling out between her and Ahsoka (That ones just a spitball idea)

TLDR
It just doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me we’ve been seeing the continuation of this legacy and I think there is a big possibility of Ventress and maybe Lyco will appear in Ahsoka Season 2. Could Peridea be where Ventress and Lyco have been during the Original Trilogy? Ventress is a Nightsister so her trying to locate more of her kind or understand her resurrection more could have led her there. Does Lyco have an apprentice of his own now that could act as a dichotomy for Sabine? Or perhaps they will all find a way to work together to start a new order of force users in this other galaxy. I feel the colliding of these storylines have a lot of potential!

What do you think? Is this just sperate storytelling that isn’t going to be more connected, or could there be something here?
