I think one of the best things about the Star Wars setting is that you can do pretty much any kind of story in it and make it work. High fantasy? Check. Western? Check. Noir? loving check. Hell, tell me you wouldn't watch a police procedural set in the Star Wars universe.

Genre-themed episodes were one of my favorite parts of Clone Wars. They even did a Lassie episode!

Panzeh posted:I don't care for the Old Republic because they tend to just poop over the notion of subtlety and the force-wielders basically become DBZ characters. Also they want to have both the Republic and the Empire at the same time while keeping a really awkward amount of things the same as the original time period. I feel like they should've made a cleaner break in that fiction instead of trying to rehash so many things. This is kind of why I hope Disney takes their own spin on it, even if fans bitch-and-moan as they often do before eventually praising the changes. Less "this is just a mix of Prequel and OT" and more "this is its own thing," Imagine if their Old Republic shows was a different genre: it becoming a western, for instance, as it is still a time when the Republic is expanding and anything past the core system is practically wild space. Of course, this requires Disney to even go "yeah, we'll listen to an online petition over our analysts, consultants, and internal lead creative" which is unlikely.

WE B Boo-ourgeois posted:Darth Vader was bad, but at least he didn't support slavery (unlike Alexander Hamilton) I dunno, man. Vader got his pleather robosuit, a bitchin' cape, a red lightsaber and his own TIE Advanced fighter, and was full of fearsome evil, and he never even asked Paul Saltines if he could go break up galactic slaver rings after he killed all the Jedi. Dude was fairly apathetic about it, even though he had become powerful enough to finally do something about it, like he always dreamed of.

I haven't seen all of the clone wars series but that felt like a nice wrapup episode. Seems like filoni and co. have wanted to do something like that to send off TCW. Even the end logo and music wasn't from Rebels. Loved the stormtroopers little chat.

Sure B1s aren't that accurate, but they were standing right there and could've done the same thing the stormtroopers did in short order. In fact that was what I expected would happen, that B12668 or whatever his B1s get no respect.

I have to admit, I had the exact same "action figures" thought that Pablo did at the battle droids and Imperials duking it out towards the end of the episode. Really cool moment.

So this episode did confirm that the Phantom on the Ghost last episode was indeed an animation error, rather than a replacement being picked up offscreen. Seems the new shuttle would need more than just a new paint job to dock in the aft slot though. The Star Destroyer that dropped off the troops mysteriously vanishing was a bit odd though. Other than that the episode was good.

Shows how far reaching the empire really is.

Man, there was one bit of dialogue in this episode that was just loving awful. Ezra: "If none of you won the Clone War, then who did?" Zeb: "The Empire." Ezra: "That's right Zeb! But how did you know?" Just so clunky and terrible and it doesn't even make sense.
