In an interview with Nerdist, Jon Favreau teased what audiences can look forward to in his live-action television series, which will air in Disney's streaming platform. The series that he will be writing and executive producing will have new characters and will be set seven years after the events of Return of the Jedi.


It's unclear what the plot will be, this notion of the timeline is interesting. Return of the Jedi is set at 4 ABY, with some books and shows in the years after. But from there, the tie-in novels Last Shot and Bloodline take place in 7 ABY and 28 ABY, making a big jump.
 
This means Favreau's series takes place around 11 ABY -- a point in time that's unexplored in Star Wars canon. For some, that proximity to Return of the Jedi could be seen as amazing, considering how many stories there are to explore.
 
Favreau chimed in saying, “If you told me at 11 years old that I would be getting to tell stories in the Star Wars universe, I wouldn’t have believed you. I can’t wait to embark upon this exciting adventure.”
 
Are you excited to see what Favreau does with Star Wars?

Seven years after the events of The Return of the Jedi, the war criminals of the Empire live hidden in the most remote places of the Galaxy. A special command has to find the fugitives and take them to the court of the New Republic.

How about recast Luke and show wtf he did. I know the last Jedi and awakens hinted and did an overview, but I still want to see and experience it.

They need to do something with the Jedi instead of this rebels/new order malachy. How about some old republic and sith battles. Awesome

So basically we’re gonna see the rise of The First Order, the most overrated villains in Star Wars. 🤷‍♂️

I miss when Star Wars excited me. That left me about 6 months ago. I'm very sad about that, because I wanted Star Wars to keep getting better. And its foundation was Luke Skywalker. Why did they have to bring him back in if they were just going to ruin him? Star Wars is dead.

I and I think most people would have been fine enough (even if some don't admit it now) if they just left the remaining life of Luke a mystery and occasionally mentioned his life in future movies. They could have skipped right past Luke's life and left him the character he should have remained after ROTJ, the man unwilling to kill in anger or fear or join the dark side, the man who can see the good in the worst people, the man who doesn't give up when people are counting on him. They could have always explored his life past ROTJ in series or games. Bringing him into the new trilogy and letting Ryan Johnson rewrite him as someone capable of turning a blind eye in the midst of such a threat as the first order was absolutely the worst thing they could have done to Luke and to Star Wars.

I think the answer is, somebody was so against the idea of a virtuous white man, so militantly, they decided to make Luke a failure whose only eventual vehicle of redemption would be a girl with practically no training who reminds him what an ass he obviously is being.

The message? Men are disgusting (sea cow) idiots. They will always find the wrong course unless corrected by women. And the writers got so lazy with their logic, they missed that Finn got corrected by Rose for doing exactly what her sister did, exactly what Haldo did, and she was FOS anyway just on the face of it, because all 3 were saving those they loved, by destroying something that was trying to destroy those they loved.

The real conspiracy here? Why would they try to degrade men in the eyes of all? Population control maybe? Keep us at odds with each other, always distracted from getting ideas in our heads about freedom and individual rights? Government knows what's best for us because we don't? Men are to be knocked to the ground, tazed, suspect until they prove their innocence? We should all be over-emotional and childish, bowing before the authority of the majority, giving up our rights to self? This is the direction my thinking takes me when I think of why The Last Jedi was written how it was and considering the corrupt climate of the badly unjustly, forcefully, ruled world we're in.

And yeah, some of those who quietly run the world own Disney.

@ImmovableForce - Im surprised no one has complained about these comments or tried to get them removed. The Last Jedi was not a good or enjoyable movie that continued the trend of ruining loved characters by giving them a disappointing and lousy end. The Force Awakens started that trend.
