Ah! Yes. Thank you for the reminder on those scenes, now they make sense to me.

Spoiler:

Will give it a rewatch with your clarification.

Oh, also?

Spoiler:

And again I’m struck by the overall mundanity of life we’re seeing. Folk for whom, by and large, The Empire works. They have peace. They can more or less go about their business. It’s not something we’ve really explored before.

I particularly enjoyed him being arrested and receiving a hefty sentence for having done…..nothing. At all. The Shoretrooper was particularly well realised as fascist bully boy Police officer who’s already decided to Nick you, that just needs to figure out what sort of charge they can get away with.

Spoiler:

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

It genuinely reminds me of a scene from The Young One’s.

A scene that whilst making an important and valid point about heavy handed policing and profiling.

I won’t link it here due to the language used in it. But I’m sure if you looked for “Young Ones racist police” you should be able to find it easily enough.

**AduroT**

Also a minor note on the off chance it was missed, but foster dad was named Clem.

Odds our cubicle bound former security guy recognizes Cassian’s face while scrolling thru arrest reports?

**Geifer**

I figure the arrest is specifically there for that. He'll get processed into the penal system and identified so all involved parties can be brought together. We're past the season's halfway point. It's time to get the finale set up.

2 finales - Episode 9 and 12 if they stick with the 3 episode arc thing.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Ah, but as a set tale of 24 episodes spread across 2 season of 12? Just over a quarter overall

**Geifer**

Well, I want a finale with fireworks for every arc, an extra fireworky finale for the combined arc and season finale, and extra super duper finale with special fireworks for the combined arc, season and show finale. I want all the finales!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Well strictly speaking Rogue One is the finale, and that’s got two very large fireworky bits.

**Geifer**

That's more like the movie finales some shows get, like Stargate. Except they did it first because Star Wars likes to get to the good bits fast and the extra 'splodey Death Star is more of a movie budget thing. That's a separate finale from the show finales and the only reason I didn't mention it is because we already have it. But it certainly counts as part of all the finales, that's true.

Something big went down and what do you know, Colonel Yularen has a reason to make an appearance. HBMC will be delighted.

YAY!

I was very happy when he appeared.

**Grumpy Gnome**

Competent, yet heavy handed Imperials. Finally.

I love how the show puts me right into the setting, causing me to wonder how I would react.

Spoiler:

**The_Real_Chris**

See his mistake was not being completely docile...

But yes, all suspects are suspect, otherwise they wouldn't be, well, suspect.

And how much of my conscience I would be willing to compromise to start a rebellion against a tyrannical regime. It is a question I have also pondered when thinking about the American Revolution.

It's a fun one. The Shoretrooper got the right guy for the wrong reasons. The system works!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Double galactic dip starting Wednesday, as alongside Andor, we get Tales of the Jedi.

Very interested to see how that show is. I’ve greatly enjoyed the previous animated fare.

**Geifer**

Yep, looking forward to it.

We don't yet know who the other four Jedi are besides Ahsoka and Dooku, do we? I wonder if it's all Republic stuff or if they do something with post purge Kanan.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Oooh, even better it seems we get The Whole Shebang released at once.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

New episode of Andor. Given I was watching it whilst working, one to give your full attention to. As I will once I’ve clocked off around 4pm.

Things definitely seem to be gathering pace!

Automatically Appended Next Post:
Tales of the Jedi.

It’s….alright. Nothing ground breaking or revelatory. But some nice detailing on long standing histories. None of the episodes outlive their welcome, and they’re detailed enough to not be flashbacks stretched out, they’re just….not essential viewing.

**princeyg**

Ill watch andor later this evening, but i did just finish Tales of the Jedi.

Overall I quite liked it, mostly for the fleshing out of certain characters an the reveal of what happened to one character in particular.

**AduroT**

I was expecting more random stories of random Jedi, but Tales is very much just the rise and fall of Ahsoka and Dooku. Still quite good I thought. As said, not ground breaking, but very good viewing and I like how it gives more motivation to Dooku’s actions.

**H.B.M.C.**

Dooku doing his best Severus Snape for part of that.

Overall I loved Tales of the Jedi. I really liked how the Ahsoka training one ended, taking us back to the last episode of Clone Wars. Overall it was great to see good Clone Wars back again. Even got a cameo from Kanan!

Andor was... a second episode in an arc of Andor - a lot of getting to where the finale will take place.

**AduroT**

I missed Kanan.

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

Having a nice sit down whilst my dinner cooks, paying proper attention to Andor.

Spoiler:

**Gert**

I was expecting the Mothma marriage to be something along those lines. Goes to show even the most forward-thinking worlds can have backward traditions.

**Lance845**

I really enjoy the painted on textures they chose to use. Especially when you get close you can see the brush strokes on them. Good job taking the basics of the clone wars blocky models and adding a new artistic dimension to it.

**DaveC**

Very much enjoyed Tales Filoni just gets Star Wars and it was nice to have more of Dooku's back story and motivations filled in and it addresses a few hanging threads from the prequels. The animation in episode 6 Resolve is probably the best they've done to date.

Some odd voice acting choices using both the Clone Wars and Film actors in different episodes for the same character.

Andor was very much the middle of an arc but good world building and scene setting going on.

**H.B.M.C.**

Tinge of sadness over Tales of the Jedi, as we see Yoda in several scenes but he doesn't say anything. Sadly Tom Kane, a man who has been voice acting for Yoda since 1999, suffered a stroke a little while back and can't speak. He also voiced Admiral/Colonel Yularen, and was the voice over at the start of every Clone Wars episode.

First time I heard his voice was as the Imperial Fleet Officer in Star Wars: Rebellion, back in '98. That's the same voice he used for Yularen.

What do you mean?

**LordofHats**

Tales of the Jedi was good but I can't help but see it as a missed opportunity.

A series with a longer more in-depth look at Dooku's fall to darkness would have been great IMO.

A Clone Wars-esque Star Wars: Visions would have been cool but this wasn't really that IMO.

It was good.

But it's one of those things where I wish I'd gotten something else instead and I can't really get passed it.

**H.B.M.C.**

I wish the last season of Clone Wars had been that good.

**LordofHats**

The improved animation was certainly a big plus.
