"The Mandalore Plot" three-parter was so good that I got shivers near the end. I like how the architecture is all cubist and the Duchess's portrait looks like a Picasso painting.

Instead of killing the hostage taker with a lightsaber through the chest at the end of the second episode, Anakin could have sliced through the arm holding the detonator. "Overlooking" that is in keeping with Anakin's character, though, and it only would have made the same point about approaches to resolving a hostage situation with negotiating or violence, while being less dramatic. In all the previous hostage-taking scenes in the series, there'd usually be a way out, like the ship being fired upon shakes it, creating an opportunity, so it was a good moment.

in the heart would still leave them moments of life to press the button, through the neck or lower brain stem would have been the better play.

It�s magic space alien cloning powered by plot, they can probably do and change whatever the gently caress they want with Jango�s genome.

Beneficial genetic mutation/alteration from standard jango template is what the bad batch is, so yeah.

That was a very good first episode. No idea what the show is really going to be about though in the long run.

If I had to guess the show will about how the empire phases out the clones for conscripts

Omega is obviously a clone of some kind and I look forward to figuring out how she is different.

I really love how Omega has a strong kiwi accent either forced to fit in with the clones or just as a result of growing up around the clones.

Leaving aside Palpatine and his fleet of Penised Star Destroyers, the First Order was basically an up-jumped terrorist group who managed to take out the New Republic. Compared to the NR of the EU books, the Disney NR isn't even a paper tiger. It's a toilet paper tiger.

Just fast forward to the EU Galactic Alliance

You know what? I liked Mara Jade in the old EU. She was a cool, interesting character who brought a different perspective to the Force, the Empire and the Emperor. Plus the relationship she had with Luke seemed to dodge the idea of her being a prize/reward/object for Luke, instead being a relationship of partners and equals.

That said, I think her niche in this canon has pretty well already been filled by Ahsoka Tano. I just don't see any way to bring in Mara Jade that wouldn't smack of "Imperial/Sith" Ahsoka Tano.

None of the old eu writers knew what to do with her so past getting together with luke her character development stopped until she was killed off in a really dumb way.

I mean there�s real-world precedent with neo-nazis and proud boy types adopting explicit Nazi Germany iconography, plus the First Order in TFA and TLJ is shown to be far more fanatical than the Empire ever was.

The imp officer in mandalorian killing the two pilots, trying to crash the ship then killing himself is possibly even more ride or die.

The sequel trilogy was a mistake they should have done all the side shows and one shot movies first, THEN done a sequel trilogy and taken their time with it.

Bonus: if it took them long enough they could make a clean break from all the old cast.

It's been a while since it was a story point but one of the arcs this show has hinted it'll wrap up is 'the Empire abandoning using clone troopers and why we never see the Kaminonans again'.

Yeah I'm getting big "kaminonan genocide" vibes for the future.

Clone uprising, Kaminon Genocide being what I think of. I do hope that the Bad Batch mostly survive and just become part of the rebellion, we don't see them in the OT because they were somewhere else. We don't need to see them manning the guns on the Falcon or something at Endor, or defending Echo Base on Hoth, they were there, i can dig it.

Star Wars Explained talked about if Star Wars has a small universe problem, that people are always turning up and they said no, and I agree because Clone Wars, Bad Bach and Rebels is one story, of course the same characters are going to pop up. Mandolorian doesn't have it because it has its own cast and really only Bo-Katan and Ahsoka came in and both of their apperances felt like they'd be part of the story. Luke is fanservice but it still fits.

Given how ancient rex looks during rebels i can't imagine what bad batch would look like during ESB

high republic = before the horrible pre-clone wars corruption, the 'ideal' of the republic that people are supposedly fighting for during the first two trilogies.

old republic = at least one of the crazy jedi/sith wars (there were a couple)

you basically got two 'main' ones, the revan era one and the bane era one then some minor skirmishes like exar kun.

Although KOTOR's whole deal with Tattooine was that it gives false results in mineral surveys and it's really just worthless sand all the way down.

No it's all the previous attempts to mine it, it probably did have some minerals and they left the equipment behind and then whenever its been long enough for people to forget they prospect it, see high purity metal (old mining equipment) and a fresh gold rush starts.

Corran is a bit garbage but is redeemed by Mirax, Booster and Iella (and Wedge).

Also his friendship with Mara is pretty adorable.
