There’s plenty of cheesy in this.
Another sacred token which is a bit of a map leading to the only person we need to resolve the story.

Where have we seen that before?

Cheesy but in the wrong way.

I did like the beginning when Baylen was tearing through the ship striking dudes down with is saber and the force. Very Vader-esque.

My one minor complaint is, I swear they made it so you could actually understand what Chopper was saying. Like I heard words in there. It wasn't like that in Rebels.

Not like Boba Fett or last season of Mando. Dumb jokes about Jawas being hairy, Jack Black and Lizzo appearing in an episode, etc. were all distracting from the shows. Also better acting in this. Pedro basically phoned in the voiceover work in Mandalorian, it was terrible. After two episodes of this, and rewatching Andor, I'm even more irritated on how bad the last season of Mandalorian was.

Dime did you catch Morgan saying “The ring of Sion”? Darth Sion was a knights of the old republic Sith

Even though she’s green, my crush on Mary Elizabeth Winstead-Kenobi endures

Oh shit, Winstead is in this? Fuck it, I'm going in.

Burt can't even make fun of me. I'm doing it for Ramona Flowers.

Think that might just be you

They nailed chop in this. He’s brilliant
Even Ahsoka giving him a wry smile at the end.
Chop rules!

There’s a galactic fuck ton of nuggets like that. In just two episodes.

Are they gone do anything with it all?

She married Obi Wan; she’s got good taste

Ruddo is spot on here. The eventual reveal/threat of Thrawn would really lose its weight if it was surrounded by too much slapstick and silliness.

They with fuck around there.

But he has his own warped sense of humour too don’t forget.

Real life derailed me this morning so I haven't had the time/desire to post about the show. But I did watch both episode last night. And I loved what I saw, overall. Some flaws, to be sure. But I a great start.

I'll post more thoughts down the line once I can get my head into it.

I watched the first episode. I really like the new villians so far.

I didn't really feel anything when

Spoiler: show

Sabine was stabbed.

Am I alone in not feeling any emotional weight? Am I too removed from Rebels?

Thanks, buddy.

B, I think it’s just because it happened in the first episode so it was pretty obvious that she was going to survive

You all better be cool to durds. This is his baby.
I’m excited for him most of all.

Ruddo

The witches

Go back and watch the very first scene with Ahsoka when she carved the hole in the ground and drips down

The witches are carved on the walls

Or because Rebels was a cartoon.

I feel like Ahsoka feels old and slow and boring. And she IS old, so I don't know how to fix that. She was a fun character because she was young and crazy and energetic.

Yeah hopefully she has a good space chiropractor
