Something I had never felt before for some reason. Ford said “Right now he is alone and thinking. That resonated with me in a way it never had before.”
“It's one of those performances that is so open and real that you find yourself overplaying him,” adds Watts. “I'm trolling Reddit while you watch with your family. Different people read different stories. Some people are like, 'Oh, he's glad he finally got to abandon this ploy,' or they're like, 'No, he's sad because he's looking at this perfect family landscape and he's alone.'

One variation we haven't seen yet is Jedi Jodd in training, however, the showrunners admit they're leaving it ambiguous to deal with in the future.

As for season 2, it's something they've thought about but haven't officially moved on yet. “We definitely have an idea in our head,” Watts said. “We're waiting to see what other people think. But we were always thinking about what this could be like before we even made the first season.” There's a lot of potential and I hope everyone sees that.”
And if so It doesn't matter that every child is significantly more likely to age. Their thoughts wouldn't begin the day after the season one finale. “We will not pretend that children They'd be only six months older if we did more,” Watts said. “It's fun to think about them growing up. and where they would fit into the galaxy. and how their world will be changed by the events of season one.”
“And when compared How will other program events affect Attin?” Ford added. “It doesn't have to be a cameo. Because if there is a historical event that happened in the galaxy It will affect everyone.”
