There are 10 people in the entire galaxy and they ALL know each other

The galaxy keeps bending around over and over again toward Tatooine. It is the planet that is furthest from the bright center of the universe but that doesn’t stop it from being sand Rome.

The only thing that makes Tatooine special is that it was originally the complete ass end of nowhere, but the hoot and holler when media shows them a thing they’ve already seen

That’s one of the most offputting parts of Star Wars in general: it’s bent into the gravity well of its fandom so much that the ass-end of space is also where more of its events seem to happen compared to other planets.

This one has a pretty reasonable connection.

Zeb is close with Hera, Hera’s close with Ahsoka, Ahsoka knows Grogu+Mando bc Jedi shit.

Oh and Mando knows Bo Katan who knows Ahsoka + Hera + Zeb + Sabine who’s a mandalorian.

This one time, unless they randomly happen upon each other instead of deliberately meeting, this isn’t a case of small galaxy, it’s just a case of “These are shows about this connected group of people”

It makes sense. Zeb knows Bombo. Bombo visited Uyun Poot’s Saloon in Legends: Star War X Wing Borb Season 3 Episode 12. (Pause at the 23 minute 11 seconds mark). Guess Who else visited that Saloon? None other than Hupple Swett (in the tie-in novel Admiral Poot and the Gyngul Assault). Yes, THAT Hupple Swett. Remember in Blue Elephant: The Jizz Guy: A Star Wars Story on Disney+, where Sorlac goes to the Qung Moon Station? Who does she fight at the end? Exactly, Ooogon Fetid (the disciple of Hupple Swett in case you’re a cueless dweeb). And who had a skippable laser sword fight with Ooogon Fetid in the PS4 game Masters of Thbu Vobb? Dinkle Heinous.

So it makes perfect sense that Zeb shows up in the Bambolorian and Donk Movie

It would maybe make sense if he showed up in ashoka… But yea the mandalorian is basically on a pilgrimage to see every character in star wars that could potentially still be alive.

Besides Andor, the animated stuff is probably some of the best Disney-era Star Wars.

Also, I still don’t see how this Mando movie could be anything but a direct to streaming thing. There’s just too much nerd homework for this movie to be released in theaters and make any sense to the average moviegoer.

Homework is why I gave up on the MCU. Even when the movies were shit, if I felt like it, I could still put them on and understand them. They were shit on their own terms.

Now even Deadpool 3 has a joke like: “See this cloud monster that’s the least interesting part of this movie? It’s actually from the show Loki, available now on Disney Plus!”

That feel when every random guy in the background in a space bar that was intended to be “what a bunch of weird characters” winds up being interconnected and important in increasingly implausible ways

It’s so goddamned stupid and this is coming from someone who likes the star wars comics and some of the EU.

Gulp Shitto doesn’t need to be a sith master in exile with 150 years worth of backstory.

One of my earliest points of friction with the fandom was the “WHO WOULD WIN IN A FIGHT” posts that dominated forums everywhere, almost all of them focused on (estimated, usually) midi-chlorian count for everyone involved. It’s just calipers for Revan stans.

This is why Chewbacca is always my favorite glup shitto, he doesn’t need any dialogue or backstory to do his narrative function, he’s just “what if a really big sasquatch dude kicked ass and was a cool roguish guy’s boyfriend (not gay)”

Ok but this is not a random background part. He was created as a protag for an animated series that went 4(5?) seasons. Other characters? sure. But Zeb? Nah of course his wiki is gonna be long he features in like 85% of the episodes of an entire show.

The first thing I do when I come across a wookieepedia article I don’t know is to scroll down to “appearances” to see whether I should care or not. Considering it’s literally all Rebels or stuff derived from it: no. No I should not.
