The episode with the Frog Man Jedi, being mean to the clones, was another one I really didn't like, from season 4. Maybe just season 4 as a whole was a bust for me, aside from those Darth Maul episodes, towards the end. Wow. The Umbra arc with the Jedi you mentioned is probably the best from season 4. But to each is own. 44 minutes ago, TheLastWolf said: Ok, what about the games?

Depends on what platform you play it. Fallen Order has a good story. But I played it on PC and didn't enjoy aspects of its gameplay. It's a console game. I haven't played Survivor yet because of performance problems for PC. TheLastWolf 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karaddin Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 I really disliked water war as well, but didn't have an overall issue with season 4 - other than I assume droid episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But also have to second that Umbara was quite good. The visuals were quite striking and the moral dilemma of the clones turning against their Jedi was interesting... though I have to say that I was quite irritated at the reveal that the guy was a traitor. It felt quite typical for the show to set up a very dark premise and then flinch at the last moment, remembering that this is a kids show. Personally I would have found it far more tense if the Jedi was just callous and incompetent and the clones left to wonder whether they did the right thing taking him out. sifth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I had no idea Huyang is supposed to be that ancient from the show. I know he was around before the Clone Wars, but after this video I looked him up and he's supposed to be a thousand generations old?!?!

Corvinus85 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Well, another season is pretty much a must. Baylan's and Shin's storylines left open, Ahsoka and Sabine, Wes Chatham needs to get his chance to shine. Such a shame again about Ray Stevenson. I suppose another Ahsoka season Spoiler could be primarily in the Peridea galaxy, with a re-casted Baylan, and thus have a smaller character ensemble. Whatever power he's after requires exploration. Then they get back to the main galaxy in time as Thrawn is ready to launch his big offensive. The episode was very Rebels-like. Ahsoka vs. Morgan had some great choreography, which is not a surprise with Inosanto's background. Some characters were underused, cough Enoch cough.

horangi Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Setup for a Season 2 we didn't get to explore with him unfortunately. I am divided on whether his last scene was a disappointment of what could have been or maybe a decent way to go out as an actor, gazing out over the undiscovered country at the end. The next grand journey ahead. Perhaps both. JGP, Myrddin and cock_merchant 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deadlines? What Deadlines? Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. Yeah, that bullshit owl also showed up in the Clone Wars finale.It's a metaphor I guess. For the force, blah, blah. FINE! I'll watch it.

Ser Rodrigo Belmonte II Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I really don’t think filoni should make that alleged full blown movie out of this yet, the characters and story still need more development. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sifth Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Well that went exactly how I predicted. Thrawn won, but did so in a way where he didn't kill or permanently harm any of the main characters. The only thing I got wrong was them doing nothing with Baylan. I honestly did not see that one coming, since he's easily been the best character on this show. He's basically an extra this week.

The moment I saw the episode's runtime I knew we weren't going to get much Baylan. They were never going to cut down the finale fight scenes for his plot. It's interesting that Thrawn really seemed afraid of the Jedi, and he was only projecting an assured aura in front of Morgan and the Great Mothers. It is reasonably justified given his experience with Jedi and the relatively small number of resources at his disposal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) Thrawn needed to win, otherwise he's no threat to anyone, let alone the New Republic. I was surprised that neither dark jedi was featured this week, except in the epilogue. I guess we do need a season 2 to see what happens with the four castaways. I believe the next installment in the "Mandoverse" is Judd Law's Skeleton Crew. And then Mando season 4? If they don't greenlight Ashoka season 2, I guess they can devote an episode of Mando to getting Ashoka and Sabine back home. Maybe they find a copy of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy wrapped in a towel. Chapter 42: The Encyclopedia Galactica only has three mentions of being able to catch a ride with purrgils. The first one was named Jonah and he basically was taken where he didn't want to go. The other hitchhiker wanted to be a real boy, but became a real snack instead. The third is still waiting for the purrgil to open its mouth to let her out. She's been around the seven galaxies eighteen times at the time of the fourth printing of the encyclopedia.

Kalbear Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 I also love all the bullshit about Ezra being 'no, I don't need a lightsaber' thrown out almost immediately at the start of the episode. Also, also, everyone is super up in arms about Sabine being able to massively use the force immediately without any real practice in getting it right, right? Or is it okay if you just sit there and practice and do nothing over and over again? I'll take the answer offline thanks Paul JGP and Ser Scot A Ellison 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
