It'll be interesting to see who her character is and how prominent a role she has in the season.

Great trailer. Looking forward to the new season. I need to rewatch season 1, but that will be in the middle of October, after I rewatch Discovery.
The is also the likes of Bo-Katan and Sabine Wren, who have fought besides Jedi for Mandalore (Bo-Katan also fighting against Jedi, but later with them to save her people from the likes of Maul and the Empire). And of course Ahsoka Tano, former Jedi who defeated Maul to liberate Mandalore.
This show takes place out the bumble fuck Outer Rim section of the Star wars universe, so it makes sense that the people out there don't have the slightest clue about Luke, his Jedi Academy, or the Jedi as a whole. There really is no reason at all to ever bring Luke into the story.
When something as important as Baby Yoda is involved, it's pretty much inevitable that the scale is going to get bigger as the Empire starts starts hunting for him more and more. Now that we might be involving the Jedi, that's probably just going to make things bigger.
But now we're getting into it here and the Jedi get mentioned by name and who is the first returning Jedi in this era? MOFO Luke. And where did he come from? That backward ass planet we visited in season 1. Mando is actively looking for Jedi now.
Sad but true.
So I supposed there is the possibility that now that the Empire is gone for the most part, there could be some Jedi that have come out of the woodwork, but it's only been four years since the battle of Jakku, so I'm not sure how many fully trained Jedi there could be, other than perhaps Leia at this point, even if Luke has established the new Jedi Order. Presumably the reference will be Asoka, even though she's not "officially" a Jedi.
As the series progresses, I'm assuming we'll start to see the beginnings of the First Order, but aren't we about 15 years or so away from Ben Solo rejecting the Jedi and joining with Snoke?
Good strategy. Get your expectations SUPER low so that even the mediocrity of "The Mandalorian" will seem good!
My defense mechanism for dealing with the crushing mediocrity (if not downright awfulness) of CBSAA Trek and The Mandalorian.
But when things are actually, you know, good, then I'm lollipops and rainbows!
So... never?
Sasha Banks may be closer to Ahsoka physically than Rosario Dawson actually. She is a bit of a geek IRL so she's probably psyched to get a chance to do this. Who knows, Dave Bautista has done well for himself and ex-MMA Gina Carano has done well on the series. If the role requires a bit of physicality they could do worse though I'm not sure about her acting chops.
Are you saying there are no good TV shows and movies? Fortunately, I disagree!
Not quite what I was saying but sure. Let’s go with that.
