As not to clutter up the Mando discussion, this will be for everything else that isn't DIRECTLY related to The Mandalorian ,but is still Star Wars.

Rogue Squadron obvious pick. They were some of the best Legends stuff.

New shows announced!

Ahsoka: live action, starring Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka Tano, set at same time as The Mandalorian
*I presume this will be a continuation of her quest to find Thrawn (and Ezra?)

Rangers of the New Republic: no details, other than that it's "an Original Series set within the timeline of The Mandalorian"

Andor: live action, 12 episodes, 2022; starring Diego Luna as Cassian Andor in a Rogue One prequel series

Obi-Wan Kenobi: live action, starring Ewen McGregor as Obi-Wan and Hayden Christensen as Darth Vader; begins 10 years after Episode III
*Given the timeframe, I hope they don't mess up the idea that Obi-Wan and Vader haven't seen each other in a long time when they meet on the Death Star in Episode IV.

The Bad Batch: animated, coming soon; starring Dee Bradley Baker as the voices of the Bad Batch clone unit from The Clone Wars Season 7
*From the sizzle real, it looks to be set during the early days of the Empire and will feature Fennec Shand, the assassin from the Mandalorian.

Visions: animated, 2021; a series of short films by Japanese anime creators

Lando: an "event series" about Lando Calrissian

The Acolyte: "a mystery-thriller that will take viewers into a galaxy of shadowy secrets and emerging dark-side powers in the final days of the High Republic era"


New films announced!

Rogue Squadon: Patty Jenkins will be directing a film about the famous Rebel pilots

A Droid Story: "a new animated adventure film set to introduce a new hero who will be guided on their journey by R2-D2 and C-3PO"

*Untitled film helmed by Taika Waititi

I wonder if Rangers of the New Republic will be about Dave Filoni’s X-wing pilot, Trapper Wolf, and/or Cara Dune.

Wow. That's kind of overboard, if you ask me. The Mandalorian works, but that doesn't mean 10 other shows like it will work.

They're different genres I would assume using the SW galaxy as a backdrop.

Disney+ lacks premium content. If even half of the shows are good....

Wow. That's kind of overboard, if you ask me. The Mandalorian works, but that doesn't mean 10 other shows like it will work.

They're not all scheduled to come out at once.

Here's a sizzle reel for The Bad Batch:

Looks like they join the Empire.

I can also see someone who looks like Fennec Shand from The Mandalorian.

They're not all scheduled to come out at once.

Yep, several are designed to be single season shows as well.
