Yeah I always felt like that was a sloppy bit of course correction and it was definitely a canon error. How and why would Yoda build a new lightsaber on Dagobah? I can't imagine that'd interest him at that point, even if he had the tools and materials to do it. On top of that, he managed to make one that looked exactly like the old one? Nahhh... Story Group dropped the ball yet again.
i feel ya, there is even a comic saying he will never wield a lightsaber every again...
this is another reason why i refuse to spend anymore money on this... when disney rebooted canon i bought EVERYTHING story related... every book every comic... everything..
after the ep8 disappointed i refused to give them a dime.. and then stories just slowly started to contradict themselves.. then by ep9 so much stuff was screwed up i just laughed at it
and now filioni is even erasing or should i say altering the canon coming from the comics...

From what? We saw nothing metal, and crystals aren't found there.
Well... Learned my lesson with that, Halliwax!
Here I am, trying to be a good Disney/LucasFilm shill, preaching the message that our head canon is fine, but we need to let it go & let the story be told as the creators intend.
Then you post that, & you've got an official rep, basically saying, "Hey... We showed you A, B, & C, & that's the OFFICIAL STORY, but if you'd rather 'imagine' X, Y, & Z, then that's fine too.".
What the CRAP, dude???
I'm trying to HELP you here!
LOL

It was supposed to be made from parts found in the ship he arrived in. He used it as well to build parts of his hut.
bits and pieces from his space ship. the major question would be where did he get the crystal?
this kind of explains the "battle damage" on the hilt when we see luke place it down, it has scratches and dents all over it

Post Disney, are comics the same level of canon? I thought they put that in a sublevel of canon or something like that. Movies didn't have to stick to it, just other comics/books or something. And if it is canon, how can mess something that's already messed up to begin with?
sorry buddy, my mind is like a fruit fly.. i buzz in all different directions lol
I only count now what i see on tv and the movies, i won't count anything in the comics or books anymore
i was going to post that but ya beat me to it!
Lol
Didn't mean I was trying to help you. I was trying to help the guy that said that like they pay me to do. LOL
when disney bought star wars all books and comics were erased... i believe it was 2013 when the first book came out, heir to the jedi, and the shortly after the comics started. the lucas story group was formed and they controlled everything so there would NEVER be a continuity issue and the stories would all match
this is one of the main reasons i gave up on the EU because things always contradicted themselves, seeing a fresh start i figured now was the time to jump on board.
the comics and books were meant to be canon... but now... they are erasing things in pervious books, or changing small things.... its just not cool... so what is or isn't canon anymore?
the lucasfilm story group use to have a show after rebels answering questions, or were shown in a group on live stream answering questions or explaining plot holes (which weren't plot holes at the time, we just wanted answers)
i haven't seen them since ep8... once 9 came out i feel like it was so screwed up there was no repair...

There was a good thread I saw online pointing out the language when announcing the show. Mainly referring to it as the next chapter in the Mandalorian story. I think this was their plan all along and they didn’t communicate it well. Though I’m trying to think of the alternative, and if they named it The Mandalorian S3, people expecting that from the start would be disappointed.
And while I think they plan to blend the shows and characters more and more, I think this version was more of a one-off due to COVID delays. It seemed to mess up planning for some parts of Mando S3 and this was the compromise to still give a bit.
The fact that the Boba storyline has been mostly mediocre is the bigger problem for me. The loss of these two episodes provides less time to turn his story around.
Now that you’ve mentioned this is really deals like BoBF episodes 5 and 6 were actually Mando 3.1 and 3.2. You don’t need to know any other Boba stuff for the plot to still work, and Fennec would have just showed up at the end of the first episode to introduce the next side quest.
For whatever reason it seems like they just tacked Boba-centric episodes onto the front of that as an excuse to rename the show.
Honestly when I rewatch all this stuff later I’ll probably just skip BoBF 1.1-1.4
