Yeah they serve roughly the same function in Rebels as the Dark Troopers serve in Mando (Imperial weapons project pushed by the lead villain relying on resources plundered from the protagonist's home).

Gideon: gently caress you Pallaeon and Hux; you know who the greatest threats are to us?! THE MANDALORIANS! (Because they’re trying to move in on Mandalore and I loving live here now, why didn’t I just snatch up the Beskar and leave)”

I don’t find this to be bad writing or anything like that, but I do find this as somewhat hilarious given that is probably the reason this was brought up at all lmao thrawn or no, what in the world kind of threat could 50 mandalorians pose to the mofference

The biggest thing Gideon can get his hands on is a busted old Arquitens that immediately got hijacked by four ladies and a buckethead. Pelly is probably cruising around with a whole wolfpack of Destroyers.

Gideon is probably supposed to be gathering that Beskar for their collective efforts, and possibly developing the Dark Troopers for same.

I have no doubt that each Imperial Warlord has their own stupid plot to back stab the others. They are living their best lives. Only Pelly and Hux are true believers.

Exactly. They're all very dangerous warlords, but they're all also kinda losers.

I'm not really acquainted with the lore, but since this show is set before The Force Awakens, could some of them be working for Palpatine instead of Thrawn? Was Thrawn working for Palpatine? I really have no idea who Thrawn is, so maybe it's obvious who works for who. Could Gideon secretly be working with what will become The First Order, or someone else is? And could that be why he's kind of doing his own thing?

They could also all be together or some are working for themselves.

Great episode. I enjoyed the close up shots of the TIE bombers and interceptors in the hanger. The land-sail ship was great too, and the land-kraken that caused chaos. So, much, dorky mando tacticianing. And the hammed up sacrifice of Jon FavreauPaz Vizsla, kinda setting up his son to be the new kid Boba.

I am obviously here for Sir Mecha-Grogu, Knight of Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism, Keeper of Peace of Mandalore.

This particular iteration of lower Coruscant reminded me especially of Nar Shaddaa. I'm fine with no Nar Shaddaa if I get more lower Coruscant.

Thrawn was an Imperial Grand Admiral who disappeared right at the beginning of the Rebellion, which is why the Council is waiting for his return. Hux being there means that the Council is already working with the First Order, as this would be post-Imperial exodus into the Unknown Regions and they formed the First Order there.

Is that Hux like his dad or something? Or a recast? I did recognize the name Hux but it wasn't the Hux from the movies, so I assumed it was someone else.

Yeah, Hux is loyal to Palpatine. Pelly is loyal to Thrawn. They’re they only ones doing proper Hydra poo poo. The rest are eccentric officers that discovered having no accountability is awesome. And capes. They discovered capes.

It'll end with a teaser for the next show to tell the next story in the Filoni-verse because it was decided by someone that he should be the heir to the Star Wars Empire.

I've got nothing against Filoni making shows and sequels to his shows. I just wish we got more stuff that wasn't tying together and making everything part of his web of storylines.
