Well this was a wonderful and gorgeous episode. Taking the space  And Middle Earth is populated by space orcs and down-on-their-luck lobster hobbits living in a trailer  This is exactly the kind of space fantasy goop I loved about Mando, too. Mikkelsen also does a good Thrawn, he's just a pudgy lil bad genocide man, Himmler schoolteacher-mannerisms and all. Took me a moment to realize he was Putin in House of Cards.Also, I am pleading dementia here, but was Scrooge McDuck the first Star Wars dude to say the long, long time ago in a galaxy line out loud in live action?

Robot Style posted:I think the issue is that Star Wars already has off-the-map locations like Wild Space and the Unknown Regions, so having the characters go to a completely different galaxy and not make it any different seems like a waste. It doesn't need to be adhering to different laws of physics or anything, but a planet populated by primitive tribes and nomadic raiders isn't really something that's out of the ordinary for Star Wars, and right now it just seems like the only reason they introduced the other galaxy is to explain why Nightsister magick can do different things than Jedi powers. I don't see the issue, it just expanded the universe. We know we can't go to the unknown regions, that's Thrawns crew. You can't exile him at home.

That shot of Star Destroyer docking and stormtroopers inside had some very strong Villeneuve's Dune vibes. And nothing wrong with that.

Eh, there was stuff I liked in this ep but the big bad reveal did little for me. Blue Man Group Elon looks terrible, his uniform doesn't fit well, and his ship looks to be a bog standard ISD, it's only the cool patch job aesthetic that make it stand out. Yeah, the troops look kinda like 'seen some serious poo poo' badasses but I just don't respect this clown as a big deal at all - If the New Republic can't handle him then maybe they deserve to get wrecked. The episode looked great, the Nightsisters, Baylan/Shin, and Sabine AHN adventure scenes were far more interesting to me. But the main man is a dud. jisforjosh posted:I may be thinking too scientifically about this, but I don't get the complaint about the planet/galaxy being just another planet. That's how the universe works, same basic building blocks following the same laws of physics.

Thoughts: * How did those whales decay in space? * All of this from a concept sketch taht eventually became Darth Maul. * Sabine could totally fit through that window. * I really have no desire for building a Stormtrooper, but if I did, it'd be Greek Gold Face Guy. * That he looks like Blue Elon Musk makes me hate him just that much more. * Dathomiri hounds! * Rock turtle dudes! * "You did *well*" Sabine. C'mon, grammar matters. * Definitely got the Ezra mannerisms/speech-pattern down, just enough change as an "adult." * Oh. Are those caskets? They're gonna make Force Zombies.

This was the first ep of the show that I thought was good and even though there was plenty of Sabine being a dumbass stuff, the Thrawn and Nightsisters stuff was cool and I found interesting in design and acting. All the bad guys interacting was a treat because everyone is great. Thrawn’s hosed up forces along with the Frank Miller’s 300 Persian head stormtrooper was a nice touch and made you wonder what all they went through out there even though the planet we see seems like a vey standard Star Wars planet.

This episode had probably some of the best looking aliens I've seen since the prequels (especially the rock turtle guys). And yeah, Lars Mikkelsen looks disturbingly like Elon Musk (his acting was still on point though)

Based on the prisoner Ahsoka was transporting in the first episode I think this show takes place either during or after The Mandalorian so Luke might have already hosed off to some backwater planet to try and fail to train a new generation of Jedi (also there was a 7 year timeskip during the same episode)

Robot Style posted:I was just thinking those Stormtroopers must be awfully nice handlers for the Howler to be so docile and friendly. I kinda got the feeling that like dogs, they reflect the energy of whomever's caring for them. The Night Troopers are probably joyless caretakers, whereas it senses Sabine is "different," even if she still is kinda a moody bitch.

This episode was definitely a step up from the other ones, for sure. It finally didn’t feel like we were just treading water. It’s just endlessly frustrating that so many streaming shows insist on spreading like 4 episodes of plot into 8, when that’s not necessary. It’s also strange to me that episode 5 is the one they chose to screen in actual theaters when this episode would have benefited the most from being on a big screen.

It occurs to me that another reason for moving the action to an entirely different galaxy is for Filoni to get all his favorite force-sensitive characters safely out of the way of the Sequel Trilogy train barrelling down the timeline toward them. I wouldn't be surprised if the final two episodes consists of making sure Thrawn doesn't get back to the main galaxy, and getting everyone stuck in this new galaxy instead, with any future seasons following on from that.

Filoni is not running away from the sequel trilogy he is seemingly setting up the world state that will eventually lead to it.
