Children of the Watch: A Star Wars After Show

On this very special episode of Children of the Watch, we discuss Kathleen Kennedy stepping down as Lucasfilm president, as well as Dave Filoni and Lenwyn Brennan stepping up to new leadership roles! We reflect on the amazing work Kennedy has done for Star Wars, the exciting directions Dave Filoni could take the franchise creatively, as well as the fate of many announced or anticipated Star Wars projects, including the New Jedi Order movie, The Hunt for Ben Solo, the Star Wars movie being developed by James Mangold & Beau Willimon, and many more.

We hope you enjoy this out-of-the norm news episode, we just had too many thoughts not to share! We will be back later this week with the continuation of our Mandalorian Rewatch, specifically Chapter Five of The Book of Boba Fett!

Join Children of the Watch as we continue our Mandalorian Rewatch with Chapters 3 & 4 of The Book of Boba Fett! In preparation for the next Star Wars film, The Mandalorian & Grogu, we're going back through The Clone Wars, Star Wars Rebels, The Book of Boba Fett, and The Mandalorian itself to break down all of the easter eggs, connections, and hints about what could be coming in the movie.

We begin the episode by discussing some recent news coming out of the Star Wars: Starfighter camp. Could Amy Adams be playing Mara Jade from Star Wars Legends? Could Flynn Gray's character be playing the newest Chosen One of the Force? Is Ryan Gosling going to wield a lightsaber? Will the Empire or First Order return as the new time period's baddies? Or could we see the birth of something new, perhaps an overt Sith Empire?

Then, we discuss Chapters 3 & 4 of The Book of Boba Fett. Could we see Sophie Thatcher in a Star Wars show again? Is the Majordomo one of the funniest characters in the franchise? How could things have been different for Boba Fett if the writers had kept the Tuskens alive? Will the Twin Hutts factor into the events of The Mandalorian & Grogu? All of this and more!

The Book of Boba Fett continues next week as we look for clues that lead to The Mandalorian and Grogu premiering May 22nd!
