I would love it if the next animation is The Rebel Alliance or something of that nature. It sounds like that's where we're heading. I would also love a series with Luke, Han, Leia, Lando and Chewie after the fall of the Empire. It could be a new animation or a series that is already in production.

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

I would love that too. Animation would certainly open up that time period way more -Sarah

[@NickTierce]

I would like to thank Mike for mentioning Bard.

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

That droid was a nice addition

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

Thanks for telling us his history when we were at Galaxy Edge.

[@misoldier0103]

I feel like there's plenty of room for Force Ghost Anakin to make an appearance training Ashoka like qui-gon/obi wan obi wan/luke

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

Yes definitely

[@RobbZipp]

I got to see the droids at Disneyland on June 2. They looked cute on my vlog there.

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

The BD droids rock!

[@RobbZipp]

@@SkywalkingThroughNeverland hope you saw my vlog.

What do you think of The Acolyte?

[@HorrorDude2019]

How can you say it's getting good reviews online???? It's getting destroyed. 28% audience score on RT and sinking.

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

Rotten tomatoes hasn’t been a true source of the validity of a film since haters know to go there to sink a film. I say it’s getting good reviews because I focus on the positive and don’t care about what the haters say. They’re not gonna take away our enjoyment of this great show.

[@HorrorDude2019]

@@SkywalkingThroughNeverland “focus on the positivity” lol. You keep rearranging those deck chairs while the Titanic sinks.

[@SkywalkingThroughNeverland]

@HorrorDude2019 what is it like going through each day with that kind of spiraling downward perspective?

[@HorrorDude2019]

@SkywalkingThroughNeverland it used to be hard but when acceptance kicks in and you realize that you will never see that loved one again , it gets easier.
