Come on!

We need a landing pad! Its got to be big enough for a shuttle and must, absolutely have a 200-300 yard walkway over a treacherous ravine! Minimum! Safety railing? Yes. But only at ankle-height! So at best they're a tripping hazard into the aforementioned treacherous ravine.

The Empire is not made out of 'Railing money!'

Did Occupational Health and Safety approve these?

"Who? The Emperor said they were 'neato' does that count?"

I would have laughed if Tarkin showed up, took a look around and said "We're shuttering Necromancer, transfer the funds to Occuaptional Health and Safety and get some real hand rails in here"


Then he storms off to the Imperial March.

I'll accept that ending. Really enjoyed the final scene.

Also, was the episode visually dark for anybody else? Might be my old TV, but was hard to see. Looked like lots of dark scenes and characters in shadows.

Overall it was good series that originated from something that sounded stupid: “I fought with your father in the Clone Wars”. Like, “Clone Wars”? What could that even be?

The only thing those BS 'railings' were saving were Mouse Droids.

Like a Roomba going off the edge.

Overall, Bad Batch was quite a strong series. Reliably Filoni-like.

Just to kill time, the guys at AFK make fan movies using the Unreal Engine, they've done two seasons of For the Empire, and I think they're hilarious.

All episodes of Tales of the Empire dropped today and the animated world of Star Wars continues to release quality shows.

I didn't like it as much as Tales of the Jedi, but it was still good.

It was good, I enjoyed it. The problem with it for me, was it was rushed a bit. The Morgan story was the better one.

That's a solid teaser for The Acolyte. I'll watch it for sure.

I agree.

I would have liked to see a little more variety in the stories. Each episode focusing on different characters throughout the history of Star Wars. Like Tales did.

dumb question: if Lisbeth lost her makings and pale coloring because the nightsister magicks were out of juice, how come Merrin in the games and Asajji didn't lose their markings and coloration.

Merrin in the game did seem to be still practising the Night Sisters magicks. Ventress rarely if ever did Nightsister magicks. I think her tattoos were actual tattoos, Some were more Sith oriented, and some were markings that she gave herself as she got vengence on the people who killed her master.
