Did they say they were being arrested for the "attempted" assassination of the Senator? He took a sniper shot to the head. Pretty sure he's dead. But yeah, great episode. Vinylshadow posted:I'm impressed Orn survived that headshot since they called it an attempted assassination Oops, I guess it was already mentioned. My guess is he's dead, but since this is a cartoon, they don't want to just say it. I doubt we see him again.

I'm thinking he's not dead because A) you can see his hand moving on the slab as they cart him off and B) he has a significant role in a canon book set after this. Yes, it wouldn't be the first time they've retconned something but this would be a big one.

fartknocker posted:Just seeing Hera and Chopper again was great, but Chopper needs to start adding to his body count in the next episode I liked that Omega made a new friend and was confused that she didn't know why the batch were there. Also you're right, Chopper has a reputation to live up to. I have a bad feeling about Howzer, though.

One of the main characters had three in the Star Wars book that was before the Republic and when Jedi used swords and called themselves Jedi’i or something. I can’t remember what the book is called. But yeah I just noticed this episode that he has four. Has anyone noticed that in the movies?

It’s good to see Hera and Chopper again but why does the former have an accent all of a sudden? Was her original actress unavailable or something?

She hasn't spent years off-world surrounded by non Twi'leks yet. If memory serves, she slips back into the accent a bit in Rebels when arguing with her father.

For that matter, did Ahsoka ever slip into that accent at any point (I imagine she might have had it before she joined the temple)? And yeah, it makes sense that she’d lose the accent after spending so many years off world

It's a world building thing that everyone from the same planet would have the similar accents. People can "grow" out of their original childhood accent but it takes time. My sister did when she immigrated to the US as a child. I say similar because for me it brings back the whole "English sounds different everywhere you go."

There was a parody subtitled supercut of all of Chopper's scenes where he was just cursing the whole time, and I can't help but hear every noise he makes as somehow having a liberal and creative sprinkling of "gently caress" and "poo poo".

There was some beautiful shots in this episode. This is morein line with what i wanted to see in the show. More to do with the rise of the Empire rather than focusing on the bad batch. Couple of things: Crosshair is looking good considering an engine burnt his face off a few weeks ago. I was worried that they would treat Hera like we all thought Solo would/did where they just explain everything she does later in life is just from that one story I'm surprised that taa was shot. I was expecting it to be Hera's mum. It's probably going to be next week

Well, unless they spring for another season we’ve only got 5 episodes left now (and this week’s barely even featured the main crew to the point where you probably could have left them out entirely, though Omega and Hera bonding was worth it in my opinion) but at this point anything’s possible.

I wonder, for those who never watched Rebels, how would the last episode have come across? I really enjoyed watching young Hera and everything (read: Chopper), but to someone casually watching it and only seeing the Bad Batch for about a minute, it must have seemed weird as hell.

I haven't watched Rebels and it was still a good episode, I just didn't get all that excited the droid was there but I was like "Was that the shy Twi'lek that Boil and Waxer saved" and she wasn't so I was a bit sad. I do think the Twi'lek episodes from The Clone Wars are enough to bridge the gap for this episode. You know most of the key players from that. Now if you hadn't watched that either, it would probably be more confusing. Edit: I plan on watching Rebels after this series is over just because I'm assuming that's how the timeline works and I'm already watching this. I only finished watching the non-Bad Batch related TCW episodes last week. pik_d fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Jul 10, 2021 |

She does show up as a cameo in a couple episodes of Rebels, though! Also pre-emptive RIP to Howzer, who is def gonna die if the next episodes are also about Ryloth.

I was a little cold on the episode. I know Hera is a lead on Rebels and Chopper is a thing but that's about all the knowledge I came in with. The episode was okay but it's not really what I'm watching this show for.

This episode serves as a sequel to the Ryloth episodes of TCW and a prequel to Rebels, so fans can enjoy it without having seen one or the other Surprisingly clever

I haven't seen Rebels, partially because I didn't like the first few episodes the first time around but also because I was working my way towards them from Clone Wars and I managed to finish season 7 right as this started and it kind of naturally flowed into it. For me I enjoyed it as a check in on Ryloth after not hearing about them for a while, but it was kind of obvious maybe I was looking at already established characters. Kind of like how a kid with a grown rear end man's voice showed up in ep 1. I think it was Rebels I watched, I might have somehow seen like 4 episodes of Resistance instead? E: oh it was Rebels, I know I didnt like the art but I also know it didn't look as bad as Resistance eughhk Shoehead fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Jul 10, 2021 |
