When four kids make a mysterious discovery on their seemingly safe home planet, they get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Finding their way home, meeting unlikely allies and enemies will be a greater adventure than they ever imagined

Sounds interesting! Probably aimed at a slightly younger demographic than the typical SW fan, a bit like Acolyte was, but I’m sure it’ll still be enjoyable at least.

I’m wondering if we’re going to see the Chiss ascendency.

I’m doubtful we’ll see the Chiss, but I share your enthusiasm. I’m excited.

I suspect the Chiss Ascendancy are deemed too complex yet boring to be made a viable culture in Disney shows, unless they give them a rework that comes with the danger of gimping Thrawn. But they might go with a Chiss character here and there.

My guess is that Disney saw Prodigy in Star Trek had promise to reach a younger audience, well, before they cancelled and moved the show around streaming networks...

The director watched Stranger Things and wanted to create something like it in the Star Wars universe.
