Can you imagine the heartbreak their parents are feeling? Space is so huge, and they literally cast a football sized probe into the howling dark in the HOPE they can see their babies again.

It just hit me that we don't really see a ton of actual parents in this show. I mean, I guess Mando but even that took a while for Din to really adopt Grogu.

Parenting issues seem to be a thing in Star Wars... always some kind of generational trauma. I guess ww2 had a greater affect on the lore than I realized.

I mean shit; there’s a great line from The Mandalorian Honest Trailer, about Din clearing an extremely low bar of being the best single dad in Star Wars (yeah sorry I kinda butchered it here).

Yeah think of the parents we got in Andor. Andor's adopted mom Maarva (badass), and Syril's abusive mother

I mean, the OT is fundamentally about a father and son. Even GL says that.
