Looks like exactly like the Dark Saber in Star Wars Rebels. Rebels is set before ANH. It's a modified lightsaber used by some Mandalorian Jedi long long ago.

I don't think it's coincidence.

Well, this is what I meant when I said the fanservice in Mandalorian is well done. I have no idea what Star Wars Rebels is, never heard of it, never heard of the Dark Saber... but whilst I'm sure people who did got a kick out of it, it's shot in such a way that it works perfectly fine as 'a thing that is there' rather than fanservice.

Have I therefore spoiled the show for you by telling you what that weapon is?

Rebels is like Clone Wars. CGI animated 20 minute episodes on Cartoon Network. It had a little but of adult themes in it over Clone Wars.

I guess, but I don’t care.

Have thoroughly enjoyed this show! An excellent take on the old movie serials mixed with classic westerns all tossed into the realm of Star Wars. I see that season 2 will arrive in the autumn of 2020, and deservedly so! If this is what the all powerful Mouse meant by focusing on streaming for the upcoming Star Wars universe, I'm perfectly fine with it...here take an extra slab of aged gouda (said with a quiet 'yo ho ho' as the jolly roger ripples in the breeze...wink wink nudge nudge know what I mean).

Now we can hope that the Obi Wan movie turns out to be good...

I think Obi Wan is a series, probably short run like Mandalorian

Ugh, I meant series. Pesky fingers.

My partner in crime has begun to ask, at various times of the day and night: 'Do the magic hand thing'..and I pull my index,middle and ring fingers together so I appear to be tridactyl like baby Yoda, and wave back. Much hilarity ensues afterward. It simply doesn't get old!

I did that to my baby niece.

'Baby do the magic hand wave'. And so she does. Doesn't count because she will wave no matter what.
