SPOILERS - SCROLL PAST IF YOU WANT NO SPOILERS :P






Nerd moments
- TIE-Avenger :o
- Sienar :o
- The ending shot of Episode 2 (Yavin 4 reveal) :o
- More Rakata invader references from 25k years ago. :hmm:

Man, Bix can't catch a break. :(

Brasso! :w00t:
Brasso! :cry:

B2EMO :cry:

The Imperial ground vehicles looked VERY inspired by German Sd Kfz 251.

The kid with the AT-ST string puppet :wub:

The whole stuff on Yavin. What a bunch of FUCKING IDIOTS.

Cyril and Dedra was both :lol: and :bleeding: . And yeah, it's Dwight and Angela from The Office.

The whole Chandrila Wedding - very long and drawn out (especially since you know what will happen to Tay pretty early) - but I guess that was the point. And Mon realizing just how low she has to go. Though you can see glimpses of Perin actually being likable. :P

Whole thing was quite the ride (with some side commentary on the use of illegals in farming work :P ) and did NOT leave me feeling good at the end of the episodes, in a good way?

You liking it gives me hope. I mean I had hope before, but also trepidation :D

Nope. Doesn't miss a beat from previous season IMHO.

Side note (not really a spoiler) - referencing a Rebel pilot called "Porko".

Can't tell me it's not a reference to Studio Ghibli's Proco Rosso, set in 1920s Italy ("Better a pig than a fascist.") :D

Ok. I don't get these ones.

Oh, dog = robot.

Still don't get the other two.  Will have to watch.
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

Spoiler speculation.




This is the second time Luthen produces an artifact linked to the Rakata.

Are we going to find out that the temples on Yavin 4 were originally built by the Rakata (since he seems to use it as a hook up place for Andor/Porko)? That would mess with the Legends continuity (i.e. the Massassi temples being built by exiled dark jedi and Sith, but you could ret-retcon that in as them having rebuilt them/built at the same site due to the remaining dark force energies from the Rakatan occupation).

I mean, in KotOR1 we learn that Tatooine and Kashyyyk were occupied by the Rakata and they turned them into the desert/forest worlds we know today. So why not?

They will make sense when you watch, I'm sure. :)

Watched the 1st one yesterday night.

I loved that Tie Defender.   :D
And the beginning of the political game.  Great stuff.

Amazingly accurate representation of every leftist revolutionary cell ever on Yavin 4.
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Good so far. The Dedra-Syril story line bores me though. I'm sure they'll be a payoff (well I hope :D )








*edit* **SPOILERS**

I also like Ben Miles as an actor so that's a bummer.

I liked everything, including that romance, because it was cringe.  It fits both characters so well. :)
