Good on Papa Palpatine doin' what Papa Palpatine does best for his fledgling Empire

Haven’t seen the episode yet but was that Ian as Palpatine or one of his soundalikes from the other cartoons?

Wasn’t there a third guy who voiced him briefly in Rebels (and there’s also the guy from the Lego series)?

Sam Witwer, who usually voiced Maul, did a few, I think.
He does a passable Palpatine, and also voiced him in the Force Unleashed games.

These two episodes were the best politicking in 7 seasons of clone wars.

Sam Witwer did the emperor in the finale of the first season of Rebels, which they later redubbed with Ian dvd/disney+ release.

Can I say that Bad Batch consistently has some of the best cinematography of any animated show I’ve seen of late.

The lighting alone is just fantastic. A show completely unafraid to cast a character in dark shadow.

That was a decent two parter and hearing Ian as Sheev is always fun, I agree that Echo’s says are probably numbered

I’m curious if the series will continue on beyond this season but I wouldn’t mind it honestly

This shit's about to go off.
Finally caught up with Book of Boba Fett, god what a boring waste of time. Kept waiting for something, anything to latch onto but it just kept treading water with these bland rear end characters and stories. A show that knows its main character sucks and turns into another guy’s show halfway through.

Boba Fett has exactly four attributes:
-badass look
-badass ship
-no moral compass
-clone that ages slower

and somehow they decided to only explore one and a half of those things and negate another of them.

I love that they've written Omega with absolutely zero situational awareness this season. She's running off on her own, making impulsive gestures, blurting to random people that she's a clone, walking the halls of the Senate without a disguise...

Echo, buddy, this is not the way to end up in the Old Clone's Home. I gotta bad feeling about this.

I’m disappointed in my main man for immediately just going to the plain black robes from Creditland instead of the bitchin’ ceremonial garb, or the velvet and silk poo poo he was wearing when he and Yoda tore up the senate. But it’s always a pleasure to hear *that* voice. I wonder if that’s his last senate appearance, it was generally suggested once he declared himself Emperor he practically disappeared from public view.

Same.

Didn't Rebels establish him as having a ....robust public image?

I get that he publicly announced the Empire the day after getting his own lightening returned to his face. But I wonder if there's a missed opportunity to show him slowly looking better in public but keeping the Sideous clothing/face in reserve for Sith stuff like chastising Vader or showing off his Sorcerer's Apprentice impression to Ezra in the World Between Worlds.

Then again, if I won the galaxy, perhaps I'd be out of fucks about how I looked.

he probably adopted mourning garb out of respect for the citizens of Kamino who tragically lost their lives to the storms that day

Rebels did have him showing his "good" face for Ezra. But that may be just for the moment for him. Part of his whole schitck was how the Jedi attacked him and made him look like he does.

Hes literally the only Force user id like to see in Andor.

Same, I loving love Ian, he’s always fun to watch hamming it up. Even in That Which Shall Not Be Named, the bit where’s he’s going hogwild electrocuting everyyyyyyyything! is the one part I’d happily watch again.

Now I’m thinking we need Cass and Luthen to 9/11 something on Coruscant so we can have Sheev shedding a lone tear for the cameras at Ground Zero and passing out blankets to orphans.

Ian was probably the only entertaining part of ROS (despite how stupid bringing the character back was, or at least the way they brought him back since the comics did it better) and I’m always down for more of Palps

As mentioned I wouldn’t mind him showing up in Andor either

as loving awful as it was and as stupid as bringing him back was, getting an Ian "My boy...I MADE Sssssnoke" in That Voice on a theater sound system was the highlight of RoS
