Treasure is the real treasure. That's why its called treasure.

It's like a bad love song lyric.

The two episodes are pretty good. Not the show's best, but fun. The ending though sets up some interesting things going forward. Maybe Rampart will get to be interesting this time.

 

[Perfect Cell]

I do love how they consistently show the ramifications of the Clone Wars. Entire civilizations suffered real and terrible losses because these two goths decided to play Risk with the entire galaxy.

Now I'm really sad that George got rid of the framing device. Would've killed to hear Threepio describe the Clone Wars and rise of the Empire this way.

My boys return!

Really dug this episode. Great to have a whole episode from the perspective of Crosshair and the integration of Cody is great. Plus, some fun action. Feel like whenever the show handles Crosshair, it's gold. He's a great mix of solid character work and hilarious scenery-chewing evil, even if the latter was not so much a thing this episode.

 

[Perfect Cell]

This was a really great episode. That shot of Cody watching as the conscript Stormtroopers arrived en masse, and realizing he was one of the last of a dying breed, was pretty grim.

Also, nothing sells the fact that someone is going through some difficult times more than showing them wide awake before their alarm goes off. Crosshair is going to have to work some things out.

That is my favorite part of this show. I don't think it's amazing so far, but it does a great job of bridging the Prequels and the OT.

 

[KillerMcQueen]

That whole sequence towards the end where we're just following Cody without him or anyone saying a word and seeing the gears turning in his head was great, his interactions with Crosshair were also all really interesting. Really looking forward to seeing where they go with this storyline of the Clones questioning the Empire and starting to resent it more and more.
Also, did they refer to Rex as being considered AWOL in this episode or am I just misremembering? Him being considered AWOL would imply that the Empire knows he survived.

I think that in this show AWOL means more like how Captain Wilco stopped showing up for work.

 

[Sithborg]

There is just something perfect about Crosshair magically having his helmet back on when he kills the Seperatist.

 

[Gaultheria]

I wonder if Crosshair is playing a long game against the Empire. With his cynical outlook, he must've known that no amount of pleading could save Ames' life. While Cody was doing his best to throw his own life away by making a principled speech, Crosshair took a Cassian-like pragmatic approach and choose to keep himself (and hopefully Cody) in position to do something effective.

The battle droid with attitude is the greatest thing in Star Wars history...

 

[The Big G]

The episodes are good and all...but I can't but feel that TBB would have been better as a one and done series

I might feel like that if there was a whole bunch of other new Star Wars animation shows coming out regularly on Disney + but in the absence of that, this is very nice easy viewing with characters I'm now very comfortable with. Glad to get more.

 

[GREEN =w= DAY]

Damn, such a great episode! Nice to see Commander Cody again

 

[Holy Slapper]

"The Solitary Clone" has 9.0 rating on IMDB.

 

[Perfect Cell]

Good night, sweet prince. You were too perfect for this world.

 

[Weather Witch]

I am really starting to enjoy this show more. Maybe I should rewatch S1 and get a fresh perspective. The way they are bridging the prequels and OT is actually pretty fascinating.

 

[Iceman]

Already 4 episodes out for this! I find it very easy viewing with the short run times so was not difficult getting up to date.

TAY-O is hilariously arrogant.

Perfect casting having Ben Schwartz do the voice over.

This episode was basically Tech's turn to shine.
