• Feedback
• Quade from Canada writes in “After seeing Grogu interacting with so many various creatures this season. Is there any other examples of the Yoda species having a more nature oriented force connection?? Could this be why Yoda chose a swamp surrounded by flora and fauna to retire to?”
• Matthew from Toronto writes in “you and Bryan were talking about Captain Pellaeon trying to clarify where he was at the end of Rebels. In that last episode of Rebels, Captain Pellaeon is on a Star Destroyer that is part of the blockade out in space, while Grand Admiral Thrawn is on a different Star Destroyer directly in the atmosphere of Lothal above the Capital City. When the space whales aka the purrgil appear, Thrawn calls up Captain Pellaeon to get a report and he talks to him briefly before his radio gets cut off. When the purrgil take Grand Admiral Thrawn's Star Destroyer with Ezra out into hyperspace, Captain Pellaeon is not with them. So it doesn't say anything if Thrawn has returned from deep space or not.”
• Cade from Iowa asks if Grogu was mind flayed.
