Quote HistoryQuoted: Fairly decent episode, good moment between Wrecker and Omega. Definitely a character development and side quest episode. Click To View Spoiler Yes, that is definitely what is going on. This episode was a weird mix of a little kid surviving against all odds and soldiers killing civilians. Kinda  I wonder if we’ll see Agent Kallus show up at some point. |

I'm enjoying this series immensely so far. Dave Filoni and his team really have a knack for storytelling and exploring nuances and complexities that are glossed over in the larger arcs, namely the transition from clones to non-clone storm troopers, etc. These guys get an easy pass from me if they produce a weaker episode here and there since overall they generate very strong content, IMO.
YMMV and that's cool. |

Was it just me, or did one of the replacement Troopers look like Iden Versio

Quote HistoryQuoted: Was it just me, or did one of the replacement Troopers look like Iden Versio I thought the same thing, but the timing is all wrong. I was surprised to see Gurrera's team & civilians getting so coldly wiped out, given Disney's approach to lesser violence in Rebels. This feels much closer to Clone Wars pre-Disney to me. |

I've watched the first two episodes.
The animation style doesn't bother me too much...except for Omega's hair and eyes. They are distracting me from focussing on the show's story. Her hair was already a little distracting but after she removed that head pendant thing...now her hair looks too matted on her forehead. The animators keep giving her eyes an oversized appearance while also making them look especially glossy. It gives the vibe of the animators trying too hard to make the character appealing and likeable. I figured that Omega was familiar with clone design and programming, since she was working as an assistant to a Kaminoan scientist. She would have observed that Crosshair was still under the influence of his clone programming and understood that he would subsequently betray his rebellious squad. It wasn't until reading comments here that I realized Omega could be Force sensitive. |

In episode 1 when they were in the “thunderdome” being tested. Was that entire sequence in a trailer?
I swear I’ve seen it before. Was it possibly an homage to something else I’m remembering? Weirdest sense of deja vu ever. Rather than a moment like it usually lasts it stuck with me through the entire scene. |

That training arena has been in several episodes between The Clone Wars and Rebels; although the one in Rebels isn't the Kaminoian one. |

It also dovetails nicely with the story line in the Mandalorian as they were still working on that project, presumably because efforts with Omega failed because it either simply didn't work or they failed to recover her. And as to Crosshair's team slaughtering civilians, it's a predictable move done to paint him and the empire as evil. The same was done at the beginning of Episode 7 when Finn was introduced and didn't fire on the civilians when ordered. |

Today's episode didn't do a lot for me.
I'm also dismayed at the thought of Brie Larson being Mara Jade, so that may be casting shade on my whole perception of SW, which wasn't particularly rosy to begin with. Love Filoni's work, but next week will need to pick it up a notch IMO. YMMV. |

They want all the bad batch back, but there's something special about her that's yet to be fully revealed. Following the "force sensitive clone" theory, it's also possible she's working for Sidious. |
