One of the things I loved about Rogue One was the dimensionality it brought to the Rebellion. As much as I always rooted for them in the past, the Rebels were pretty uniform and so squeaky clean and wholesome as to be a bit boring. We saw a group of desperate people who disagreed, with different ethics and thresholds of courage or risk. And in Cassian we had an avatar of that complexity. What would you do for a cause that is so important? How much do you sacrifice? That is rich ground for stories. I think this show has great potential and am very excited to know we have a Rebellion era show coming (my favourite era for SW story telling).

I'm hoping we have K-2SO in the show as well. Alan Tudyk's name was notable for its absence in that press release.

It's hard to imagine that this project wasn't conceived without thought being given to the drawcard benefits of K-2SO's eventual inclusion.
