The uglies were the worst idea in the entire EU. Make the setting seem small and also that's not how complex machinery works dammit.

It's stupid thematically too. You know what fighters criminals should be using? TIE fighters. There are a lot of TIE fighters out there, because the Empire was Bad.

Plus they're cheap and easy to maintain, plus they've been in the hands of corrupt officials since forever... "Whoops, another squadron of TIEs got 'lost' or 'stolen by pirates' or on one notable occasion 'lost in a swamp'..."

Ezra is about 10x more interesting as an anakin skywalker figure than anakin skywalker

Superior writing and a less punchable face.

Loved the first episode back. Thrawn was Thrawn-ing it up, not taking the bait but instead focusing on the bigger game. But I will say, for a Star Wars kids show, I was not expecting the main character to mind control someone into suicide. That was...dark.

I was taken aback, yet pleased, because it makes it pretty clear that Ezra is doing something really hosed up without even needing any of the other characters to moralize at him about it.

Kids shows overall are darker than they used to be, I think. (I don't entirely think this is a bad thing. Reality is a tough neighborhood.)

Also, it wouldn't be too much of an rear end pull if those Y-wings had trackers hidden in them. Since he suspected the theft ahead of time.

It would be elegant, really. He presented them not only with something they desperately needed, but put a ticking clock on it before all the ships were destroyed, so they wouldn't have time to look the gift horse in the mouth.

If I was showrunning a Star Wars show, running a West End campaign with the cast playing their characters is the first thing I would do.

I think this maybe happened here.

Palpatine designated Mount Doom as Vader's house because Palpatine is a petty gently caress who likes screwing with his emotionally dead manservant.

"Are you still crying about Padamame or Panda Bear or whatever her name was?" I love Robot Chicken Star Wars.

Filoni is real good at this. I hope they keep letting him make Star Wars as long as he's willing to.
