THE MANDALORIAN, in a Civilized Age

I mean if we really wanna open that can of worms. If Asmodee ever realized that they are the only ones standing in their own way, they could use Legion to print more money than God. They have the golden goose.

More than that, he is an iconic character from the OT. Filoni and Favreau have done a great job reuniting the fan base around their new star wars media and characters, but every time they use an iconic OT character, they risk all that good will.
That being said, Temura Morrison is a badass actor, it would be cool if Boba stuck around as a side character that would cross paths with Mando once a season or so. Maybe even get him involved in the Mandalorian resistance with Bo Katan.
All these characters work better as side characters. I was actually put off at how big of a jerk Grief Kargus is in the assault on the imperial base episode. I know that fishface is his indentured slave or whatever, but all he did was threaten fishface for an entire episode. Cara Dune also works better as a side character. There isn't much depth or interest in these characters, they work better to help Mando or propel the story (next world up please) along.
That being said, I do hope that BoKatan, Boba, Ahsoka, etc can all be shoe-horned (believably ) in the next 2 super-length episodes when they assault the Moff Gideon's Assault Cruiser or Biological Warfare Lab

Amen,
I'd really like to start seeing some of these ideas fleshed out/making appearances in Legion, X-wing, Outer Rim, Etc with whatever other games I might play.

I actually enjoyed Greef harping on fish dude, it was funny.
I agree though, Cara and Greef are better as side characters. Gina Carano in particular is not a very strong actor (She is an ex MMA fighter so she is hired for her physicality so its no knock against her). It works fine when she's a side character but I dont think she could carry a spinoff or be the center of an episode.
Bo Katan and Ahsoka (and Sabine after she is introduced) would be awesome as a spinoff and those two actors could carry it with their charisma.

If they dove deep into Mandalorian politics and side adventures/quests, I could see a mini-series (1 season length) of a spinoff for BoKatan and her Mandalorian Knights.
Ahsoka hasn't done much and I hope they don't make her Boring (like they have every Jedi Knight adult who becomes a jedi and then loses their personality)
Sabine, hopefully, they get a great actress and give her lots to do.

An ahsoka/sabine series searching for Ezra in the unknown regions would be cool. Ahsoka has the potential to be really interesting becuase she is not a Jedi anymore. So she doesn't necessarily have to become the 'emotionless vulcan' style of full Jedi.

They could do a lot with this. They could make it an "Odd couple Road picture" series since they are 2 very different personalities and ages. Ahsoka would be the refined, female sage and Sabine the impetuous wise-cracking thrill seeker. They could make it like a Lethal Weapon duo.
This would appeal to the largest possible demographic (old, young, male, female, casual and hardcore fan) if they did it right

New legion stuff for the merc army in this one
I think thermal detonators will be the grenades you actually want to take

Probably a card action I'd say.
Between this weeks Mando and the several new series announced Id say we're in for years of potential legion stuff.
How about that transport tank as a game objective save/sabotage?
If you're a Shoretrooper fan, today's episode was a good one for you.

Given the state of the US with covid at the moment i'm amazed they gave us anything more than a confirmed s3
