Saw is actually pretty level at this point still. He is remembering the lesson learned in trusting the Republic on Onderro. |

I can dig exposition, world building and character development...but every scene is 15 seconds too long and there are lots of set up scenes, filler scenes, extra scenes and scenes that go nowhere.
All of Mon Mothma's party scenes in this Ep were just wheel spinning. Literally nothing moved forward. It's a good show but much too drawn out. |

View Quote Still the best produced and written of anything StarWars to date. Basically it is getting to the point where there is a scale. If you never heard of the character then it is on the "good" end of the spectrum. If you have heard of the character then it is going to be on the shit end of the spectrum as they phone it in. |

All of Mon Mothma's party scenes in this Ep were just wheel spinning. Literally nothing moved forward. It's a good show but much too drawn out. View Quote A story is more than plot...theme matters also. Intercutting between Cassian, Mon, and Syril shows how they're all in their own prisons. I wouldn't trim a second. Totally captivating episode. Also, there was like five solid minutes of gay stuff and it didn't feel shoved down your throat, preachy, or tacked on. The fact that they managed not to annoy me there was impressive. Two hardcore, freedom loving women with meaningful things to do and say kept me invested in the parts of their characters that matter. Watching this show, I keep thinking how funny it is that the writers are probably pretty left of center, while I'm pretty right, and yet we all hate the goddamn government. Saw's rant against ideologically impure groups that share a common goal was on the money. |

She ends up leading the New Republic but screws up so badly the First Order re-emerges back into the scene and leads to the events of the subsequent 3 movies.

They seem like they'd be absolutely necessary to an escape attempt, unless there's something extraordinary that happens for shutting that whole system down. I suppose that might be where Luthen (and possibly Saw) ties in again, if it is a diversion. |

Meanwhile, prior to the first Death Star's destruction, the empire destroyed an entire planet, snuffing out the lives of a billion civilians in an instant. To conflate the two is asinine.

Everybody fears power in the hands of people with different premises, beliefs, and moral axis/priorities. Easier to just call them evil than to understand them. The Empire is just blatantly evil for evil's sake, the Emperor is a personification and deification of evil. It fits everyone's intellectually lazy view of their political opponents. |
