Also it seems that rumours that the 12 episodes of Andor they've filmed would be split into 2, 6 episode seasons won't now happen and it will be a 12 episode season 1.

They were planning that series, but nothing was written for it before they cancelled it. Storyline seeds were moved over to the Ahsoka series and Mando series, instead. The "leak" is wishlisting from a site that frequently doesn't fact check anything.
I'm OVER 50 (and so far over everyone's BS, too).
Old enough to know better, young enough to not give a ****.
That is not dead which can eternal lie ...

I wondered what had happened to Andor. Somehow I got the impression when they first announced it that it was pretty far along, but we just got a lot of other stuff since.
Nehekhara lives! Sort of!

Season 1 is finished filming for probably a late summer or autumn release. Stellan Skarsgård recently said he’s due to start filming season 2 in the autumn after filming Dune. 3 seasons have been mentioned.

A few reports he's been cast but no confirmation on who he has been cast as other than it's an Admiral (but not Thrawn) - Gar Saxon died in 2BBY - 11 years before the Mandalorian timeline - could be flashbacks maybe as these are likely with Hayden reprising Anakin.

Good: they're getting off Tattooine for at least some of it.
Bad: The Empire is actively sending Force-sensitive hunters to Tattooine, and they're within spitting distance of Lars and family.
Glad we're highlighting what a stupid hiding place that was.

Wasn't the Legends explanation that Tattooine had a Force rift thing like Dagobah that made it hard to locate Force users?
Don't know, don't care.
Its Vader's in-laws, on his home planet, and the same house he visited, his brat has his surname, and has friends he gets into trouble with in the local area (or at least his uncle has a low opinion of their activities, and doesn't confine him to the moisture farm).
This was all sorta fine when its a vague backstory in episode IV, but the prequels made it part of Star Wars street, and now we have someone who can probably read minds standing in the same camera shot as the stupid uncle (as in, she's actively hunting jedi, has hung some fool up and turns to face him directly, and he makes a show of looking shifty). And I'm not entirely convinced she isn't directly threatening young Luke with lightsaber in hand in the cafe at 1:19.
Its looking like the worst possible route they could have chosen for this show, which already felt unnecessary. Someone would have followed up on this crap, even (or especially) if she dies or disappears. If it had been 'Obi helps Ahsoka/Rex/random Clone Wars side character out on Planet <Wherever> and Obi comes to terms with Anakin's fall while Inquisitors hunt him'... then, fine. But the Empire running amok in Luke's childhood makes no damn sense.

This is actually closer to the story from the leaks going around. The planet it's mainly set on is Daiyu and Obi-Wan goes there both to lure the Inquisitors away and help an original trilogy character.
Not sure I like the redesign of the Grand Inquisitor he's not nearly as gaunt looking as the he was in Rebels the Fifth Brother is close enough and the Third Sister is new for Kenobi.

I never encountered that. From what I recall, the Legends explanation was simply that Vader had absolutely no interest in ever returning to Tatooine. The Prequel explanation was that Obi-Wan thought Anakin was dead, and Vader thought his kid had died with Padme, so had no reason to go looking.

Yeah, I like the Grand Inquisitor's design in Rebels. Not a fan of seeing a live action adaptation fail to follow the established design again. You'd think they have the budget and skill to do better. There aren't even any moving parts that may be harder to do physically than in animation.

My understanding was always that Vader never knew Luke was alive and was never searching for him. Hiding him with his family works because no one is looking for him to begin with. It doesn't even matter what his name is because his name has no meaning to anyone save maybe.... 7? 8? people in the entire galaxy of which none of them know the names of any kids working on farms.
The Inquisition has been shown doing two things since their introduction: hunting Jedi that survived Order 66 and kidnapping Force sensitive children. If she's threatening Luke in any capacity its for the latter reason. She has absolutely no idea who he is.
It’s also implied in the comics that even though Obi-Wan caused problems for Jabba he hid the fact the Obi-Wan was on Tatooine so as not to draw Imperial attention to his own business. The Inquisitors aren’t looking for Obi-Wan (or Luke) but become aware of him after they arrive - they have another reason for being there.
Oh and vader had active reason to avoid tatooine. Anakin. Vader did not want Anakin to wake up. Ergo he would avoid place that might bring Anakin back.
Which is why the larson&co would be among persons vader least wants to meet

What nonsense is this? Vader was Anakin. It was a name change, not a personality implant.
I think he might be talking a little more spirituality than literally...
Automatically Appended Next Post: Plus Anakin very famously intensely hated the desert.

Disassociation.
What Anakin did was Heat of the Moment. 100% that.
Palpatine continued to exploit that, including ensuring Vader’s suit was a bit crap (canon). Keep Vader focussed on his anger and guilt. Prevent introspection. Do whatever you can to stop Vader reconsidering and perhaps becoming Anakin again.

Vader and Anakin are two different personalities in the same person. Vader is Anakin's rage, fear, and hatred personified, with Vader even outright saying to Ahsoka that he destroyed Anakin because he was weak. Whatever Anakin's flaws, he was still inherently a good person and tried to do what was right. Vader does not, at least until Luke comes along. It's kind of the point of ESB and RotJ that Luke is the key to bringing back Anakin and returning him to the side of the Light. Vader doesn't consider himself to be Skywalker.
What Anakin did was Heat of the Moment. 100% that.
No, not at all. You don't take a taxi half-way across a city-planet and butcher children and call it 'heat of the moment.' That was cold and calculated with lots of time for introspection. And it wasn't even the first time he'd butchered children (with no suit, even)
Palpatine continued to exploit that, including ensuring Vader’s suit was a bit crap (canon).
Eh. Canon, where? Not the films.

He never stopped being Anakin. That was very clearly who Anakin was, an angry butcher of innocents. He had to build up to the latter, but his whole story is anger and impatience.
And if he wanted to stop introspection, Vader wouldn't have had his own series of environmental meditation chambers on his ship(s) and planetary base. Even outside that, Vader spends _a lot_ of film time staring out of windows in contemplation.

Had better things to be doing I guess...
While I hate this..... Qui Gon invented Force Ghosts and only taught it to Obi-wan and Yoda at the end of Episode 3.... and apparently Anakin I guess? I'm sure there's a comic explaining that last bit.
