Did not care for episode 3.
Baddies in their trash fighters just happen to be hanging out in the middle of nowhere when the Jedi jump in. Of course the dark padawan is with them, good thing the force alleviates the need for any kind of flight suit (or blinking, this girl never blinks!). Baddie trash fighters score numerous hits to no effect on hero ship with massive plot armor. Jedi tail gun is running Golden Bullets. Anti-Capital Ship Turbo-Lasers generate big smoky explosions in space. Jedi ship apparently has shields stronger than a Star Destroyer... it certainly wasn't nimbly avoiding anything. OK Jedi Ship finally needs to get some wires re-connected with enemy fighters in hot pursuit. Trash fighters take so long to arrive that Ahsoka can change into something more comfortable and take a walk outside. Trash fighters proceed to shoot at the light-sabers instead of the ship, and apparently got their training from Starship Troopers in which "Muh blasters work better at melee range". Entire show was hot garbage to stow in the trash fighters. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure how many years Thrawn and Ezra have been in another galaxy together. But my prediction would be either: A) Thrawn and Ezra are comrades now having had to work together to survive. B) Thrawn stashed Ezra in solitary confinement for years and Ezra has fallen to the Dark Side. or C) But its Disney... so Thrawn has amassed a vast fleet and or Super-Super-Star Destroyer which he hand crafted with his remaining crew and cloned fifty million new expendable imperial orcs to crew them. |

I don’t think Rosario is a bad Ashoka. I think it’s the writing. Like you guys have said. They want her to be the “wise old force user” jaded by her years of experiences.
The last episode of Tales of the Jedi, Ashoka was all fucked up. She reluctantly came back into the fight. She didn’t jump back in excited. But I think it’s a little much so she comes across like a soulless shell of a being. |

View Quote In the original EU, the Old Republic lost 200 Dreadnoughts of the Katana Fleet a few decades before the Clone Wars. The crews went mad due to the Hive Virus and the fleet was adrift. Thrawn and the New Republic were in a race to find the fleet and Thrawn was able to capture 178 ships. Additionally, Thrawn used cloning cylinders located from Mount Tantiss on the planet Wayland to resupply his stormtrooper forces. |

Yeah, that always seemed odd, especially since we already saw an example of human/Twi'lek hybrids during TCW (Cut and Suu's children). I suppose that can be written off as a side effect of whatever the Kaminoans did to the clone's DNA though. Rex did say it was against regulation to reproduce (which itself does raise the question of why they weren't made sterile). |

I liked the beginning and start of the chase with Ahsoka and Sabines interactions. Sabine was vaguely starting to sense Huyang and Ahsoka near the end. Ahsoka changing demeanor asking Sabine what she needs to shoot the fighters was some development. Though Ahsoka on the gun and Sabine piloting would have made things easier. The Purrgil scene was also a favorite. Hollow Graham Zoom meetings are boring as hell but was nice to see Mon Motha.

View Quote Ignorant people will always call Ahsoka and Sabine "Mary Sue" simply because they don't know the background and the live action series are their first introduction to them. Sabine already had her struggle learning to use a lightsaber during "Trial of the Darksaber" and her subsequent return to Mandalore. That said, I do hope they don't overdo it if she does develop some force abilities. As to the Chimera, as Miami pointed out, it would outclass basically everything the New Republic has, so if it's in working order, Thrawn would be a dominant force upon his return. As to the discussion on Ezra, he undoubtedly escaped, either with the aid of the Purrgil or after capture by Thrawn (he's had a great many escapes from Imperial custody). |

Sabine is all of those except has some character flaws (family ostracized trauma mostly). She didn't have force powers but that is likely changing. Also wasn't the main character, but probably could have replaced Ezra just fine. |

All of the background officers, crew, soldiers, even the senators that they've shown. Except if they're Empire or Empire sympathizers, then they can be white men View Quote This was my observation, exactly. The nerds here (and I say that endearingly, you all really have devotion to the cause, not intended to offend) like to gloss-over it and make accusations that we just don’t know the story. I know it well enough, and have no problem with women-heroes. That’s not the complaint at all. It’s that all the white guys are fools or bad guys. There can be no positive white males portrayed anywhere. It’s not just Star Wars or Disney either, it’s EVERYTHING from the entire industry, and it’s very, very deliberate. I get why, the left is on a power trip right now, and they’re abusing that power to the fullest extent. It’s not about “bringing up the historically oppressed” it about tearing down the historically successful. It’s their turn to be the oppressors. It’s vengeance, pure and simple. Two wrongs do not make a right. Anyway, enough of my rants… any more screenshots of our hero’s butts? |

There do seem to be an unusually high number of ass shots in this show so far.

I am thrilled that your daughter has a hero, that’s not the argument here at all. There should be heroes for all of us to relate to, and race and gender should not be the basis for heroism. If it was wrong for PoC to be constantly portrayed as “bad guys” in the past, it should be wrong for P w/o C to be constantly portrayed as “bad guys” now. That’s the only point. There should be BALANCE. I really don’t want to argue this with you, in particular. I am a big fan of yours and the work you do both here and for GOA. You really have my utmost respect, but you seem to really be missing the point on this issue. I’ll just let this debate go, I’ve said my peace. You can relate, or not. This thread should be about Star Wars, not fellow patriotic Americans arguing about racial/gender biases. That is exactly why they are doing this…divide and conquer. Again, bless you and your tireless efforts to protect ALL of us from the erosion of our rights. YOU are one of MY heroes, and I mean that from the heart. |

View Quote I never liked Sabine because they attempted to make her too many things. She’s a Mandalorian, engineer, artist, bounty hunter, and now Jedi. Enough already. |
