Season 2, Episode 4-6 (Spoiler Thread)

[DarthSkywalker]

Last week on Vader's HR Nightmare...

Property damage,

inappropriate interoffice relationships,

and drinking on the job.

What is that you ask? What, no, nothing else happened last week that would even cross Big D's mind. Now time for week 2 of B2 Phone Home...

 

[OtherwiseKnownAs]

Let’s go!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Resistance Base!!!!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Surprise opening to episode 5!

 

[Sithborg]

NOOOOOO, they left him on the farm. Probably a good thing though, because, ummm, not getting good vibes on Bix's fate.

Amazing shorthand, show how the rest of the galaxy feels about Ghorman, just make them french, and everyone understands. Interesting that they kept the Tarkin Massacre, ie him parking a star destroyer on a crowd of people, that isn't THE ghorman massacre that leads to the formation of the Alliance.

Just give me a show of Mon Mothma doing politics, please.

Syril Karn, agent of the empire. I'm sure he won't screw this up in some spectacular fashion. Though, clearly, the fake break up lead his mother back to old habits. Really deserves hazard pay for that. And poor Dedra. Still too much boys club bull****, even from her old assistant.

We miss you B2EMO

She's going to die killing her torturer.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Luthen being the Rebel grim reaper is so real.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

"If I say today is the happiest day of my life would it ruin it?"

"It's nice to see you happy."

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Mass Effect music in episode 6?

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Snow: I love space tank tops.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Bail, you got hair plug and hotter.

 

[Sithborg]

Yes Syril, for the love of god, please turn out the lights. No one wants to see that freak show. Even Dedra doesn't. I do love how believable he is about being upset about his perfect office being trashed, even if it is for cover.

Andor gets sexier for his trip to Ghorman. Getting fun heist vibes again for the 3rd episode.

Fascinating to see Saw continue to degenerate. I wonder when he gets his accident. And clearly, he was super paranoid even before he got his gor mullet. And I think he said they raided Eraidu, and had some Bad Batch flashbacks.

Interesting to see Kleya and Luthen getting testier with each other. The party should be fun to see Mon Mothma's in laws.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

I must go. Doctor Who needs me!

 

[DarthSkywalker]

Cassian best Star Wars boyfriend ever. I'm happy I was wrong about that. She's definitely dying but at least not over that POS.

Very setup heavy arc, but a lot of good interpersonal stuff. Really enjoyed it.

 

[Snow Queen]

You know a show is cooking when removing a listening device is as heart-pounding as a robbery. Great stuff, as always. Knew one of Vel or Cinta was dropping this season, sad to see her go. Not so sad about Ghorst's mush brain, great ending. And Krennic is just a delight. Him bouncing off Mon Mothma over the history pieces, just delicious.

 

[Snow Queen]

Luthen and Kleya: "We must talk in code, blinking lights, detached railings, radio systems."

Also Luthen and Kleya:

 

[Sithborg]

Episode 3, yeah, thats the good ****.

Sad to see Cinta go, I was rooting for space lesbian rebel fighters. But, the way she went, by a random, accidental shot from an ally, was rough. And makes a fascinating rallying point for the Ghorman front to evolve.

Love Luthen in his curator mode, I wonder if his ring was referring to the hidden empire in SWTOR. I enjoy little fun glup ****tos like that. I do wonder when Lonnie is going to join the rebels. Because i don't see him being able to stick much around after the alliance is formed.

Its good for couples to have date nights. Go out, have dinner, see a holo. Torture the sick scientist that tortured one of you and then blow up the facility they were setting up for him. Good for the relationship.

I do hope the publishing side of LFL covers the time skips in print someday. I find the hints at what happened during the skips great. Great showing not telling in the show.

Surprise Krennic is always welcome. Good to show the social side of his ambitions. It is interesting to see Mon and Perrin grow close. Makes me curious how he is going to take what is coming.

Saw Guerrera is a delightful lunatic.

I need lore help because I'm really confused rn: were there two Ghorman Massacres???

There is now. It was originally created for the West End RPG. Rebels brought it back to canon, leading up to Mon Mothma publicly defecting and the creation of the Rebel Alliance. The original, with Tarkin parking a star destroyer on protestors, now seems to be called the Tarkin Massacre, and actually seems to be placed at the same point on the time line as the West End game. Gilroy hasn't been coy about us getting this new massacre, and as an important event in the formation of the Alliance. (Ideally, overwriting some of Filoni's stuff)

These are the type of glup ****tos i respect.

I could tell we have a new composer this time, because he was channeling Hans Zimmer pretty heavily in episode 6. Specifically this during the climax:

Thank you @Sithborg . Not confusing at all!

Seeing Bix getting her revenge on that f***er.

 

[Kane52630]

The scenes with Bix and Andor in these last three eps > All the jedi bullsh** in all of Star Wars

“We should’ve killed Krennic while we were up there.”

I was thinking the same thing when Luthen mentioned the “Lost Empire”. Fun little world-building nuggets.
