I could see Wes Chatham playing Vanto, but with Pellaeon in the mix that character would be a little redundant since both characters performed the same basic function in their respective books. Another noghri bodyguard seems possible, and technically feasible after . . .
seeing them credibly pull off Zeb.
Doubly funny that they imply Tennant is also a late addition when they said literally just a week ago that Tennant recorded a scratch track for his lines so they could play them on set with the puppet, making him a decidedly early addition to the cast.
I realise this is an artefact of the way articles are padded out when they don't have anything substantive to add that isn't already in the headline, but still...

This kind of thing drives me nutty especially in articles when it's obvious in their very own stories that the casting isn't a late addition. As a journalist, I find that phrasing soooo weird.Also, kinda funny the way the articles are written you'd think this is still happening, when in reality they started filming almost a year ago, and wrapped back in November. "late addition to the cast" indeed!

It's a post-truth world. Anyway, I'm looking forward to this. Hope I'm not disappointed.
I swear most articles I read these days are 90% padding that feels like it was copy-pasted from a wikipedia article. And don't get me started on the repeated redundant statements, and the statements that redundantly repeat information that do nothing but make one even more confused when scrubbing through looking for an actual quote, or source, or anything substantive or contextually relevant.
I suspect a lot of it is to optimise content so it can maximise the number of search engine hits, which just shows how utterly borked modern journalism in general but entertainment reporting in particular has become.
Ahsoka is at the point were I'm firmly neutral. Thrawn and all the such nonsense is not interesting to me. But, Ahsoka as a character, and the New Republic stuff is interesting. If its a mess with Thrawn then it gets filed with the rest of the EU. If it's ok then ok, and it will fill out the second tier SW content after the OT.

In context, it has been basically a decade since Ezra and Thrawn vanished. Thrawn was working with the Empire for his own goals and people, the Chiss. The Chiss were concerned about the Grysk, so Thrawn may have been fighting them these last ten years. Maybe even enlisting Ezra to fight with him, as such a threat would be greater than the Empire. It is entirely possible that while Thrawn seems like the Big Bad,perhaps the coming series will shift that to the Grysk and the theoretical "Heir to the Empire" film will be Thrawn's Empire, the Mandalorians, Ahsoka, and the New Republic standing against these invaders. This teamwork could even settle some of the issues between the New Republic and the Remains of the Empire to the point were it seems like everything is resolved. But unknown them....Palpatine's just using this to cover his tracks and lull them into a false sense of security. To give him and the First Order time to rebuild out in the former Grysk territories...undisturbed by the New Republic.
At this point, the shows really aren't "EU" or "second tier", they're right up there with the movies as the core part of the franchise. Hell, with the way things have been the last few years I'd actually put them above the movies in terms of significance to the franchise.
It depends on what we're talking about here. Everything is "second tier" compared to 77 and Empire, as far as cultural significance of art of the past century.
Just because you don't like something, doesn't make it less important to the overall franchise.
But this isn't a personal opinion situation, it's a fact for everyone that they are equal to the movies.
No, you were being deliberately obtuse and facetious. That is how you roll. At least have the backbone to be upfront about it.
