Willow (2022) - Season 1 (Disney+) (1 Viewer)

Willow is not in the same universe as Star Wars, right?

Not unless there's a big surprise coming.


Semi-related: a Star Wars comic book short story that was written to be non-canon (even before the expanded universe/legends was tossed) had Indiana Jones and Short Round discover a crashed Millennium Falcon with the skeleton of Han Solo in it.

Also, Chewie survives the crash, and subsequently becomes the basis of all the "Sasquatch/Bigfoot"-sightings we have today, living out in the wilderness during that story.

Have no idea if that Chewie one is a joke or real!

It's real -- the story is "Into the Great Unknown," and appeared in Dark Horse Comics' Star Wars Tales issue #19 (an anthology series which contained a mix of canon and "Infinities" stories), which you can read here:

Also, the Wookieepedia-entry on the story:

I bet if I fire up my Dark Horse app, I have it already. Read a lot of the Tales comics and I remember it was fun. At a time where there was only paper versions, no app existed.

November 30! The year is falling into place.

Kasdan says that one of the characters is Madmartigan's daughter. No Kilmer himself in the first season.

Some new coverage from Entertainment Weekly:

How Warwick Davis, 'Willow' costars handled pressure of making TV series: It 'kept us on our game'

Warwick Davis, Joanne Whalley, and the stars of the 'Willow' TV series open up about Willow Ufgood's return to the screen.

Did some rewatching of the Star Wars Postquel trilogy.

Then I put in the end of Solo. Caught Warwick Davis' brief role in Solo.
