I feel a disturbance in the Force, as though thousands of voice actors had suddenly cried out in anguish, and been suddenly silenced.
I chalk it up to him loving Star Wars a bit too much for someone whose job is to create more of it. He occasionally forgets you need to do more than put these characters onscreen (but he's usually good - I really enjoyed his use of Thrawn in Rebels).
That cat is out of the bag already. Whether he stays or goes, as soon as Luke started training him he became Luke's first student. All that remains to be seen is whether he dies by Kylo's hand or not.
My vote is for Borys of Ur Draxa
Could be. Mando and Grogu work so well thanks, in large part, to Pascal's acting.
That makes sense. It does both sound like Mark and not like Mark, so this may explain it.
That makes more sense, and still explains why it doesn't quite work.
It could also be perspective. If Baby Yoda has come and gone before Kylo ever gets there, he might believe that he was the first student and just be incorrect.
Remember some stories, sure. But in 20 years, the context of those stories could have significantly changed under propaganda pressure from the Empire. Consider the idea that a xenophobic government, in the aftermath of a war largely against aliens where many people are grappling with tremendous amounts of economic difficulty, might use those factors to come to power, seize the media, order a dictatorially-run and oversized military around to suppress dissent, and manipulate the public. The Nazis turned the German public and the fringe anti-Semitism there into a genocide machine behind a monomaniacal cult of personality in less time.
