Welcome to this week’s edition of the Holonet Blast where we’re anxious awaiting to see what other news might drop this week while Brian and Nanci are ONCE AGAIN ON A BOAT. I’m banning them from boats if anything big drops in the next few days. Boats are now bad.

In our biggest news, the main cast for The Mandalorian was announced this week. As was rumored, Pedro Pascal is the lead and we’re getting GUS FREAKING FRINGE in Star Wars?! Also, Werner Herzog? WERNER HERZOG? This is madness, y’all.

If you’ve been waiting to watch Solo: A Star Wars Story with a click of your remote, it’s coming to Netflix on January 9th! Expect an uptick in my tweets about my precious daughter Qi’ra. Tragically, Rogue One is leaving Netflix on January 18th because the Force giveth and the Force taketh away.

Finally, if you’re missing Star Wars Resistance already, head on over to the Disney Channel’s YouTube channel! Over the next few weeks, they’ll be posting 12 new shorts to help tide you over. The first three are already live and pretty adorable. Resistance will be back sometime in January.

This is our final Holonet Blast for the year because it is the holidays and your resident Managing Editor would like to take a nap for the next two weeks. We’ll be back in the New Year.
