First non-Fett/Fennec cast-member to be revealed, IIRC. They are keeping a real lock on this show right now.

I'm hoping that Rodriguez gets Tom Savini, Cheech Marin, Danny Trejo, or Jeff Fahey in there.

Oh, Trejo's practically a guaranteed "get" for a Rodriguez-show like this. It'd basically be malpractice not to cast him. Savini in Star Wars would be mindblowing, too.

^ Looks like 8-D8 (the white droid that was burning the droid's feet in Jabba's dungeon in Return Of The Jedi) is dead center in the background of the shot when Boba stands at the head of the table at 0:17.

Yes, I saw that on Twitter.

Confirmed to be 7 episodes.

Confirmed to be 7 episodes.

So again edging down the number of episodes in a season. Won’t be long at this point where an entire season of television is like 3 hours of content

And you'll have people telling you that's better because every second of a show MUST contribute to an arc now. If there's an episode where something happens with no bearing on the arc and is just there because it's fun or exciting or interesting, the dreaded f-word (filler) will be invoked by the fans!

 

[Sam Favate]

I thought the Mandalorian had plenty of those non-arc moments, and it was better for them!

You know, I think "Sherlock" on BBC already pioneered that concept. 4 series (seasons) of 3 episodes each...

Can't say I'm a fan.

 

[Josh Steinberg]

That’s not new for Sherlock, that’s typical BBC.

Another new trailer!

Are they looking down at a new Rancor? Maybe that Rancor that Jabba got in The Bad Batch was his second pet Rancor...

I think so. I haven't watched The Bad Batch, but the bars that Fett and Shand are looking through are the same style as the ones we saw in Return of the Jedi.

- Walter.

They might just as easily be looking down at a Rancor skeleton.

I just hope Fett starts feeding the gamorrean guards. They've gotten way too skinny!

Great piece and interview with Rodriguez.
Newsflash: All the stuff we’ve seen in previews is only from the first half of the first episode!

All the recent Disney Marvel shows except for Wandavision have been 6 episodes so this show is one more episode than I was expecting.
