I don’t think that’s canonical, but if the technology were available **someone** would have used it to build to heights impossible to achieve by static structural strength. ---

i did an entire series watch on saturday. it works a lot better as a binge season. it flows one to the other, and you make the connections easier. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > I get the impression that a lot of this season doesn’t make sense if you’re not familiar with the Clone Wars animated series. Dave Filoni has basically made everything he’s done since Clone Wars a continuation of that story arc, and Mandalorian is no exception. Can I just say, I’ve only ever watched the movies and the Disney+ shows. No Clone Wars or Rebels. I have a general idea who Ashoka and Thrawn are, but never heard of Bo-Katan. The only thing about Mandolorians i knew was that Jango Fett was one (but maybe not?) I haven’t been confused at all. I think they’ve done a pretty good job explaining back stories. The only thing is when some random character reappears I’m missing the “hey, it’s that guy” moment. ---

Concur with the last 2 posters. I read Zahn’s books and played Tie Fighter so I know who Thrawn is (or was before he was retconned?), but it’s perfectly clear there are other ex-Imperial factions out there trying to mount a comeback. You don’t have to know every detail to figure out the gist of things. ---

It is also clear that we were watching the beginnings of the First Order so even with just movie knowledge you would at least pick that up. They had a member of the Cabal be Hux’s dad to make sure you knew. ---
