Season 1, Episode 4 "Aldhani" (Spoiler Discussion)

Reminds me of the Reeves Clark/Superman transformation.

 

Best scene of the show yet, imo.
So far, overall, the production is the most impressive thing about it to me. I love the look so much. Coruscant was . I need some more Star Wars Biomes from this!

Both Gilroys it seems are excessively long-winded in their writing and it kinda drives me up the wall tbh (like everyone has to give a speech about their worldview before getting to the very basic goddamn point), but I like the story they're telling and the people they're telling it with so it doesn't hurt my enjoyment too much. Yet. They've got 8 more episodes to drive me further to the edge though.

 

Idk, maybe a little less in-your-face.

 

Very impressed with Stellan this episode. He was a great get for this show.

 

Stellan's character is like a Star Wars Scarlet Pimpernel.

Comedian/rapper/actor Ben 'Doc Brown' Smith as an ISB officer is something I never could of pictured.

 

I am loving this show. So much.

 

What a breath of fresh air this show is. There's actually a story being told here, instead of the empty nostalgia Star Wars has become in the last few years. They gave Mon Mothma more to do in a couple scenes than in all of her past appearances combined.

And those Empire scenes were fantastic. Nice to see a side to them that isn't just incompetence.
