I watched the first half of the first episode (2 parter)

Spoiler!

Yeah there is some need for Clone Wars knowledge, but they do catch you up on the inhibitor chips and their effect on shutting down higher cognitive functions so that the Clones become more easily controlled. Its how the somewhat creative and independent clones became brutal stormtroopers over night.


The only other real major piece of lore was the appearance of Kanan from Rebels and having to watch his master slaughtered, I thought that was really well done.



I got to the end of the training session, Tarkin as ever was the king of brutallity. Omega is clearly a clone aberrant as a female, but I wonder if she's a clone of a night sister as the preview showed her shooting the bow that the night sisters used. Does this mean that the Empire can clone Force Users.


We saw the prototype Dark Trooper droids from the Mandalorian. Clearly the Sniper's inhibitor chip is still functioning and that's going to cause some edge.


Overall I really liked the first half, the animation went up several notches again and Dee Baker is super talented as all the voices of the Clones.
