I half wonder if Luke or Ben won't show up in the end. It would tie the show back into the universe at large, as Luke is running around starting a new academy right now in the timeline.
Cubs... that is head cannon I have used previously, I forget where I first heard it though.
How does one determine which troopers are stormtroopers vice regular Empire soldiers? I mean, naval uniforms and the occasional pilot/scout aside I've never even seen "normal" front line infantry type grunts anywhere that I can think of. I've always been of the mindset that stormtroopers were the grunts, not the elite. It hardly makes sense to have your elite soldiers wandering the decks of a star destroyer as patrols, but this seems to constantly be happening in movies. Wandering troopers here and there, around every corner walking in small groups. It is really confusing behavior for a "ship at sea." I have to say that the Sebastian Stan thing looks interesting. I was underwhelmed by Hamill's participation in the final trilogy. I don't know that I was ever all that impressed with him in the original trilogy either, to be honest. I don't know that I ever wanted to root for Luke as a kid. Solo, yes. Vader? Yeah. Luke? Not so much.
I do think it'd be a shame if after such a strong first series the show is used simply as a way to try and redeem the poor plot devices of the latest films.
Boba seems to have Tusken gear but that does not necessarily mean he spent time among them though.
Did anyone else think that the latest episode's honourable Boba Fett was somewhat at odds with the mercenary character sketched (very lightly!) in The Empire Strikes Back? I mean, two of his four lines in that film are "What if he doesn't survive? He's worth a lot to me." and "He's no good to me dead." That wasn't really the impression I got from the post-sarlacc version.
