The Cassian series is going to need some sort of hook for me to be into it. I liked his character well enough in Rogue One, but there needs to be more.
Yeah, i dont really care for it.
Obviously, I'm most excited about Kenobi. But this Cassian series has all the promise the world. An espionage thriller set in the time leading up to the Rebellion? Please and thank you.

Also, after The Americans, I have full faith in the show-runner.
There’s a fine line to be walked regarding the stakes of any main character in a prequel: an espionage thriller while knowing that people have to survive kinda takes the stakes away

I disagree. Did you watch The Americans?

Or literally any spy thriller ever made?

the only way they can do it is removing the stakes from Cassian and putting them on literally anyone else in the show.

Well, maybe not K2.

Ok, literally anyone but those two.

The flipping is cool, but are you even supposed to use it as a double-bladed saber in the closed position? It doesn't make any sense usage wise in the "closed" position.
