I’m not usually one for too much run of the mill stuff on shows but this one really helped me get into the characters more and feel more of a bond with the show (which I hadn’t felt from the first 2 episodes).Episode 3 felt like the first proper "run of the mill" episode. That said, I still rather enjoyed it.
- The real action this week was on Kamino.
- I really like the idea of the proto stormies being trained by the clones. It makes great sense, and I love the irony of the situation.
- Who are our long neck friends looking for? Is it just the Bad Batch and Omega, or is perhaps first gen clones like Rex and even Boba? Whatever they do, they probably won't succeed, but let's see if they actually die trying.
- Wrecker and Hunter are fighting over best dad status, and I am enjoying it. I am sure it will get old at some point, but those little moments with Omega, where they make her feel wanted and loved are really getting to me, in a good way.
- The wildlife which loves the tech was very cool.
- I wonder if Omega knows enough about the chips, that she will be able to help Tech with Crosshair. Or will they require the intervention of someone else, like Rex?
-Tarkin really loves coming in and making a scene and then delegating.
I'm hoping Rex has a big part to play and great if Boba is involved too.
Yes, I knew almost nothing about the premise of this show ahead of time and this is a great surprise. I've always wanted to see this.
After Wrecker talking about missing him (and the guys realising that he is likely not in control of his actions), maybe the redemption is on the cards as one of the big story arcs of the season. I can see him having an opportunity to finish them and hearing the "good soldiers follow orders" in his head but finally manage to overcome his programming and save his team. Not sure if that means he survives for next season or not - I'd prefer to see him next season functioning with the team but a death while saving the team would also have a lot of impact and make the ending more weighty after some of the lighter episodes.
I think they will get him back. There is so much talk about the chips. We know Rex either knows how to fix/remove them or knows someone who can because of Wolffe and Gregor being with him in Rebels. We have seen Rex in the trailers. I don't think this will tie back to Ahsoka, but it could.
I had to google Wolffe and Gregor but I remember them now. (only ever seen TCW and Rebels once through) Thanks for the info
If you want to see more of the details on how the Empire actually functions, the newer Thrawn books are a gold mine, especially the first and third. The Thrawn books also might provide insight into just what exactly his motives will be in the post-RotJ era shows. Filoni is pretty reverential of Timothy Zahn so I imagine the Thrawn books should be fairly safe from being retconned by the new shows.
Thrawn is one my favourite Star Wars character full stop so I’d definitely be interested. Do you know what the books are called?
The newer Thrawn books are ordered this way: Thrawn, Thrawn: Alliances, and Thrawn: Treason. Then there's the Ascendency books that take place before Thrawn joined the Empire.
Excellent, thanks a lot for that. I will definitely get these.
There is no Tech, only Tick. Just like Wrickah and Icko.
I love her accent. Makes all the other clones sound like imposters.
There's a definite redemption tale in the works here, imo.
This is all pretty new ground, so we are all pretty much in the same place asking...
Ah man, the show wouldn’t be the same without him. Also I bet Omega will still be a part of Star Wars lore in a couple of decades and probably very significant by then (hopefully film appearances). It’s cool seeing characters introduced young like this before they’ve done anything important rather than only seeing powerful characters’ young lives only through flashback.
