But Star Wars....I am warning you...if you go back to the 'if you knew this/watched that you'd know whats going on' Well....I am going to be seriously pissed.
You really need to get off this soapbox. It's a Star Wars show. They're going to incorporate stuff from other Star Wars shows. You're not even being consistent in complaining about it, it's not like you're complaining about not understanding how the laser swords work, or what X-Wings are, or why the Stormtroopers are wearing armor that doesn't seem to actually serve any defensive purpose... because you've seen the movies.

I couldn't get into Rebels - too "kiddy" for me to stomach - so there's going to be a bunch of stuff I don't get. But it doesn't matter, because the show does work just fine on its own without prior knowledge. Its quality just scales up if it's also giving you fanboy nostalgia excitement. Everyone can enjoy it, the fanboys like CC will just enjoy it more.

I can only imagine what you must have thought of Shaak-Ti's headgear in the prequels... same species.


... Anyway, I've enjoyed this series a lot, especially this season. Olyphant was perfectly cast in Ep 1, which might be my favourite of the whole thing. And this week, instead of a western they switch it up and do a full-on samurai movie. Beautifully done in terms of the setting, and just... cool as ####.

The show really is a lot like Clone Wars. Two central characters involved in a series of discrete episodes with their own internal story arc, occasionally a multi-episode arc, joined by an assortment of recurring characters depending on the week.

I wonder if they'll find a way to use Mark Hamill at some point. Probably not in person without a lot of de-aging work, but through a transmission hologram, or something? Obviously no need for him to play a central role in anything because enough with the Skywalkers already but it seems like it would make sense for him to take an interest in a next-generation Yoda.
