I don’t think the time stamp feature works with vB embedding.

Sorry I missed this earlier. Do not, on any account, attempt this. It invalidates your warranty and seriously pi553s off the spacedock foreman.

See, you can still have your weekly punch ups while progressing the main storyline and dealing with the incidentals (i.e. getting the ship fixed). Normally I would want a creative consultants fee but in this case I am just happy to make my mark on the Star Wars universe. The Force is with me.

There was a very pleasing quantity of fanwhank in that episode :D

Plenty of stormtroupers getting whacked. Like the last one from the speeder when you see the helmet rolling along in the wake.

I was idly wondering how to present an in-universe explanation for the sheer uselessness of storm troopers, over coffee this morning ... I can only think that the imperial command’s strategy was to have so many of them in so many places that they would instil fear of an apparently insurmountable enemy, but that the sheer numbers of them also made anything more than basic training implausible (and, if they did successfully terrorise the populace, unnecessary).

t would help if they spent more time on a range practising their aim.

Beskar is a handy plot device because it allows a stormtrooper to occasionally score a hit without the show losing its main character.

TIE fighters definitely need better targetting computers, the current ones could not hit a barn door !

What a fantastic episode and is by far the best yet. I didn't know what to do 10 seconds into the episode, I wanted to scream, wet myself, poo my pants and jump out of my chair all at the same time.

This is an episode of purity and meaning and epitomises what it is to be Star Wars. They have hit the nail on the head and proven that you can have your weekly punch up whilst simultaneously progressing and expanding the main story line. I hope they continue to fix what was my gripe in season 1 which was characters and depth. There are too many cheesy quirky gimmicks in each ep and not enough substance. This episode struck the perfect balance, helped baby Yoda to become more of a real being and has greatly improved the realism factor of the character and the universe. I just hope it continues. If they can continue this week after week the series will be superb.
