These aren’t issues that will deter die-hard Star Wars audiences, but it is certainly something for Lucasfilm to keep in mind. Fans who are interested in Ahsoka will be missing massive amounts of context if they haven’t watched Star Wars Rebels. Fans who only want to watch The Mandalorian should be able to do so without missing a core relationship beat, for instance. However, in any franchise, some viewers are only interested in certain properties. The more the Mandoverse expands, and the more complicated it becomes, the more people will be forced to watch if they want to keep up with the story. This also leads to another issue that could spell trouble for the future. By having Din Djarin and Grogu reunite in The Book of Boba Fett as opposed to The Mandalorian season 3, their story became less cohesive, and Boba Fett was overshadowed in his own series. Disney+ Star Wars has already faltered a bit, in that regard. While each property should be free to explore new creative impulses and cultivate a unique atmosphere, the overarching story does need to stay consistent and logical. The more complicated a story becomes, the harder it is to keep track of everything that has transpired so far, especially when numerous writers and creatives are involved. While Star Wars’ crossover desires are admirable, the franchise does need to be cautious. Din Djarin, Boba Fett, Ahsoka Tano, Grand Admiral Thrawn, Star Wars Rebels’ Ghost crew – it’s time for these characters to pave the way for the next era of storytelling, and the Mandoverse is giving them the space to do so. ![]() This included appearances of established characters on premiere episodes of new series, a few long-term transfers from one series to another, and even crossovers between Trek films and television. The Mandoverse, though, is focusing on some brilliantly new and some underutilized older characters to enrich its premise. Several characters within the Star Trek franchise, primary and secondary, often made crossover appearances between one series and another. ![]() Star Wars always could expand and grow beyond that which is familiar, and yet it’s been hesitant to do so. The Mandalorian’s ambitious Star Wars crossover plan provides plenty of narrative potential, but most important of all, this corner of Star Wars can tell big, galaxy-altering stories that do not constantly revolve around the Skywalker family and their companions. By combining The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, and even Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the Mandoverse has the potential to become as intricate and compelling as the High Republic Era or the old Expanded Universe, an extensive historical account of the galaxy during that time. This era will culminate in Dave Filoni’s The Mandalorian movie, which will presumably finish in the Heir to the Empire storyline. ![]() The Mandalorian, which essentially began as an episodic weekly-adventure series in season 1, has now become the launchpad for an entire era of Star Wars storytelling to better explain the events that transpired during the New Republic's relatively brief reign.
