Luthen's ship is the bomb.

Really good design!

[Crucial]

This show gets better each episode. Well worth sticking with.

[Crucial]

I’ve seen a clip on YouTube from someone that gets the eps ahead of time and he reckons that the final ep is really really good.

[Kirwan]

Seen a good explanation that if you bundle three episodes together you basically get a movie for each group.

Holds up pretty well where the climaxes are.

[Crucial]

That was a great episode.
Post credit scene awesome!

[Bovidae]

I would say a very good final episode for the season, which sets up S2.

Yeah, I watched after the credits just in case.

[Kirwan]

The consistency of the writing and the quality of all aspects of this show were top notch.

Adding Tony Gilroy to the list of people that know how to do Star Wars.

Excellent post credit scene.

Indeed.

As good as the show has been you simply can’t beat a good tie in to the OT.

##spoiler

I’ve never seen imperial troopers shoot with such precision before. Those basic stormtroopers were ruthlessly effective when gunning down the townsfolk.

##spoiler
the reason I like it as explained what they were building in the prison, nice little detail. So many thoughtful details like that.

More foreshadowing as well.

Makes sense though. At this stage of the Empire they had moved past clones to well trained troops ruling by fear. As seeds of a rebellion took hold they had to up the troop numbers as a show of force and they were basically patsys in armour that couldn't shoot to save themselves.

And also the biggest example of Stormtroopers having terrible aim was in A New Hope in the Death Star, where it turns out they were letting Leia escape to track the Rebel base.

Well no it doesn’t. The clones were ruthlessly effective. Latter day troopers have been shown to be….well, less so.

The guy head butting one of them was very silly

The move away from clones had nothing to do with effectiveness. I never said the clones were poor.

Yes I know all that. The point I made was I’ve never seen them shoot so well.

Like shooting fish in a barrel really, they were just shooting into a crowd. One Stormtrooper climbed a bunch of stairs to get yeeted off by a guy holding a hammer. Seems on point.

That is a good point. They should have sent one of those cool black troopers. Those guys know how to get shit done.

It was good to see Cinta take matters into her own hands, and the vulnerability of Dedra when the shit hit the fan.

The Dedra and Syril 'moment' though. Like that reality show, The Undateables.

[Kruse]

I was pretty pissed up and tired when I watched that last night.. forgot there was probably a post-credit scene.
Just watched it now... (pretty pissed up and tired) - and yeah, nice.
I had always expected there to be some sort of reveal as to what they were building in prison - had assumed it was going to be related to his pet droid in the Rogue-1 movie, and explain how he acquired it/her/whatever.... but considering the size... I was obviously pretty pissed up and tired when I came up with that theory.
Instead... yeah, that was nice.

Some people have hard heads…

Was it any more “silly” than Ewoks throwing a few rocks at a couple of Stormtrooper helmets on the Forrest Moon of Endor and said Stormtroopers falling like a sack of potatoes
