I thoroughly enjoyed both episodes. Where do I start?
First ep:
Second ep:
Absolutely no way Disney makes Yuuzhan Vong (or anything similar) canon. Too cowardly.
Well.... Dave Filoni did bring us quite a lot of nice star wars. I can't see how he would refuse to have something so cool as the Yuuzhan Vong.
They could for merchandising reasons. They would just tone them down some I think, but yeah, it’s a long shot.
I was thinking that new galaxy will either be a) the Vong galaxy, with all our characters wondering why it's dead and lifeless, setting up the Vong invasion in Rays NJO films or b) the early Jedi come from another galaxy in Disney continuity (technically the Tho Yor could have come from another galaxy in Legends) and this is setting up the Dawn of the Jedi film.
Interesting. I haven’t read any of the new canon stuff about high republic. I do think they are/will tie in that stuff more though since it’s a whole new thing to explore. Anything that brings in new merchandise will make Disney say yes.
I've read the comics, but they don't really go back that far. High republic is the 1000 odd years leading up to Phantom Menace.
Ah. I misinterpreted your second point. I never read the stuff about the Tho Yor, so I was assuming it was High Republic stuff but I searched it and saw it’s Legends material
Edit: additionally, maybe they are going to introduce and retcon the Rakata as being from this new Galaxy originally? They’ve already talked about them in either Mando or Andor, I can’t remember.
The Tho Yor are mysterious pyramid ships that visited loads of planets in the distant past of the universe and telepathicly attracted force sensitves to board them then dropped them all off on Typhon where the Je'daii order developed before spreading back into the galaxy.
The Rakata tried to invade their system once while they had the Infinite Empire, but got trounced and introduced the Je'Daii to Light Sabre tech.
All this stuff is in the three Dawn of the Jedi minis that Dark Horse put out, they're on Marvels Unlimited app these days.
I assume the Rakata are still canon as they're remaking KOTOR and they're a huge part of that games plot.
WHOAAAA! The Fermi Paradox in Star Wars? With something as terrifying as the Yuuzhan Vong?!!! TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Yea, the inquisitor is kinda sus, no? Although, I really hope that he is just some random surviving inquisitor. I didn't find him THAT cool for him to turn out to be some character that we know about already.
Honestly, THAT is what I'm hoping for! Is Thrawn the anti-hero working to stop an impending Yuuzhan Vong invasion? Was Palpy preparing for this too by building the death stars? Aside from galactic domination, was defending from a Yuuzhan Vong invasion one of the goals of the Final Order?
