The Star Wars franchise possesses almost unlimited potential when it comes to telling new and exciting stories, but Disney and Lucasfilm have so far been adamant that everything be coated in a thick layer of nostalgia. Following the recent Investor Day presentation, there’s a massive amount of content coming from a galaxy far, far away, but not much of it could be deemed entirely original or unique.
As well as The Mandalorian Season 3, The Book of Boba Fett will debut in December next year and Rangers of the New Republic was also announced, which marks two spinoffs born from the flagship Disney Plus series. Ahsoka is the third spinoff, based on a character who debuted in an animated prequel to the Original Trilogy before rising to fame as one of the stars of another prequel set between Episodes II and III.
The Bad Batch was the first of the multiple spinoffs to be confirmed, Obi-Wan Kenobi is a legacy series set between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope, Andor is a prequel spinoff to a prequel spinoff, and Lando will more than likely operate as prequel, sequel and spinoff all at once so that both Donald Glover and Billy Dee Williams can return in some capacity.
Insider Daniel Richtman is now claiming that more small screen Star Wars exclusives are in the works, and they could bring back even more familiar faces from the franchise’s long, illustrious and extensive back catalogue.

There’s been rumors that Darth Maul could end up appearing in Obi-Wan Kenobi after his survival in The Phantom Menace was made canon, but if Qi’Ra is also coming back then it would make sense to have them appear in Lando given the events of Solo, which could also open the door for an Alden Ehrenreich cameo.
