Thats the problem with Disney-era star wars, everyone is connected in some way and all the powerful force users must be related to a familiar character. The universe feels so much smaller

So that officer and whoever she is working for (Gideon/Thrawn?) wen't through a lot of work just to ultimately wipe that guy's memory, right? Like, he couldn't be discreetly murdered or something? |

I think she's undoing the New Republic's rehab. He's necessary for their nefarious plans, I'm sure. also, loved this epsiode. Nice to see some exposition |

I'm enjoying the new season so far, I do have to chuckle that Men In Black have better mind wipe technology than star wars does.

A bit off topic but I'm currently in my first watch through of Clone Wars(chronological order) which has been awesome, but when I finish season 6 should I watch rebels before the final season? Or is it safe to finish out the while series first? Was already planning on watching all of Rebels before Bad Batch

Though the first 5 minutes were trash (why do they have to go all in with that AWFUL Amy Sedaris character?) Yesterday's episode was good and on par with the first two seasons. amy sedaris rocks. what are you smoking |

I don’t think I’ve been more bored in anything Star Wars than I was with that last episode. 45 mins of 2 people I couldn’t have cared less what happened to them with brutal acting. Andor was great, this was like something with abc family resources trying to recreate it.

The show is all over the place, and can’t figure out what it wants to be. I thought maybe it had figured shit out in S2, but now it feels like a totally different show.
It has always had poorly-delivered lines, wooden performances, and atrocious directing, but having a shitload of masked mandalorians this season, all reading their lines into a microphone in a recording studio, has been really bad. The dialog sounds so fucking bad, flat, and unnatural.
Joke’s on me I guess, since I keep paying for Disney+. I’m only watching because my kids are watching it.

The movie that was supposed to be/is supposedly still being announced at Celebration just had its writers leave too. Talent and director are already sighned on. This is just a cursed franchise at this point and I might finally kick it to the curb if the show doesn't stick the landing this season.

I am not really feeling this season. So far, Bo Katan and the Dr. Pershing stuff that the fan base has been bitching about has been the only real highlight for me. I'm already sick of Grogu.

Grogu jumping in that duel scene had me laughing my ass off at how dumb it looked.

Appreciated the extended cut recap of unrelated storylines and forgettable moments.

I hate this season. It's like the prequels, an overall cool story mostly, but the details suck

I dunno, man. You guys dog this shit, I think it's kinda tight. This episode started out, you had Carl Weathers facetiming with muppet Swamp Thing, he starts blowing up the city, I go to nuke up a plate of leftovers and when I come back we got the Lady's Man Leon Phelps like sarcastically clowning on these serious dudes talking about pirates.
This is pretty sweet dudes.
