I mean, obviously not. They already established the characters and also the actor that played the only decently acted villain (blanking on his name...) died.

Ray Stevenson played Baylan Skoll. He will be sorely missed. It was one of the best new Star Wars characters we've gotten in a long time. I would've loved for his character to be continued but who knows if another actor will do him justice. Ian McShane would probably be awesome but he's pretty busy.

Ian Mcshane is also like 20 years Rays senior. I love him but I'm not sure that's the best recasting choice.

Ray Stevenson/Baylan Skoll acting and story made the show with Ivana Sakhno/Shin Hati imo. They had such an interesting story and great acting I watched it just for them. The force that was calling to Baylan, great plot and cliffhanger. Wish we could have had more of him :(

Meh, I’m gonna skip all the stuff they put out until they make more stuff that isn’t set in the same time period. I want more like The Acolyte, but with better writing. More High Republic & Old Republic stuff. I’m bored with the whole Skywalker time period.

Except for Andor, because they absolutely cooked with Andor & Rogue One.

I liked season 1. Sabine came across as spoiled and annoying in the early episodes. Probably could have handled that differently. We got Thrawn, and we got the Nightsisters. Cool. Ezra was a bit disappointing. Meh. The space whales are kinda weird, but whatever. Plot devices. We got a couple of great scenes from Hayden which was a good fist pumping moment. I hope season 2 is better. I’d like to see Snips show a little more personality closer to her character from the clone wars series, or at least make me believe she’s the same character.

Baylans acting and story was frankly best part of the series
