I'm don't hate Filoni but I do think he's pretty overrated...but with that said he's currently among the best LFL has to offer and this looks interesting, at the least. I still need to go back and finish Rebels. I wasn't a huge fan of it but I guess it's time to finally finish it off before this show comes out.
I loved seeing the E-wing. Looks like they did away with the third cannon on top that would've interfered with the canopy opening! Lol! I wonder if the Kenner astromech could be the genesis for the BB units. As I recall, EU E-wings either didn't require astromechs or required some specialized version. I don't recall now.
Seeing "young" Mon Mothma, post-ROTJ is pretty weird. They didn't even bother to change her hair. From the first trailer, I had assumed this might've been an old recording but nope, her appearances looks to be contemporary to the show. I generally prefer deepfakes to recasting although I am probably in the minority.
That said, I'd be surprised if we don't get a deepfaked Big Three cameo before all is said in done (either in this show or in Filoni's movie).
