It's a lightsaber. It's literally an artifact at this point as it was crafted by the first Mandalorian Jedi millennia before. View Quote |

Awesome episode!

They were, but Dooku betrayed them at some point. It would make sense for that scene to have occurred in the latter part of the Clone Wars. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

The biggest question is when did Death Watch clash with the separatists? They were aligned with Dooku. Also, these droids may not have been CIS droids. Could be trade federation, could be a crime syndicate, who knows. |

IG was a reflection of Kuille’s patient reprogramming who Mando respected and trusted, really a testimony to Nick Nolte’s character https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/459941/B33F2540-6DA8-40CB-9BBB-90120B0DCB7F_jpeg-1210784.JPG https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/459941/DA345437-65C6-4DA0-8258-8247A53B50D0_jpeg-1210778.JPGhttps://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/459941/209E39B3-6D91-4C20-ADDF-27BC8A84D50A_jpeg-1210779.JPGhttps://ic.pics.livejournal.com/shannenb/631636/876586/876586_original.gif View Quote The "He can protect" foreshadowing was strong, but the director really outdid himself with IG-11's role in this episode. When he spun around to protect BY and then flipped his arms over to keep shooting was absolutely the best part! |

Also, some things didn’t make sense. One minutes, there are tons of storm troopers. The next minute a “flame trooper?” shows up, acting like some kind of badass, and goes in solo? View Quote Our Jedi were some wickedly fun folk for the most part. The most common joke was they would flip the safeties on all the bad guys weapons while the monologing was happening. Or more to the point, if you can move things with your mind, how is that an advantage in any given scenario. The wife and I both played (not yet married). When the flamer showed up I said "fitting" and she said "hose"...the point being the weakness of the flamer was he had a blowtorch and a bomb. A jedi would find a way to exploit that. Like Ben, our Jedi barely ever ignited their sabers. That only happened at the end of a long line of failed trickery. Dang. I miss you TJK...you would have loved this show. |

I thought that was a wry comment about how dozens of Stormtroopers shooting at the same thing never seem to be able to actually hit anything. Stormtroopers were deadly. From storming the the ship at the beginning of the original Star Wars to crushing the Rebels at Hoth. The only time we really see them as "incompetent" is when they allowed the heroes to escape the Death Star so they can be followed back to their hidden base. Sure, the murder bears got the better of them in RotJ, but it wasn't for lack of missing shots. |

They must be better shots with the blasters mounted on their speeder bikes, since they just presumably used them to murder the ugnaught.
