Anyone watch it yet? I am still processing it. I don’t know if I liked it or not.
Thoughts and spoilers here
I was expecting more closure
- Zillo beast was just in this whole series as a plot point to allow Omega to escape?
- Rex and his crew had no resolution
- Time jump with Omega in the Rebellion and literally no mention of her anywhere else?
- What happened to Cody?
- Why was Scorch done so dirty as a glorified name drop, he would’ve been covering their rear to make sure no one snuck up on them
- Nothing about any of Tantiss’s other potential secrets
- The clones didn’t have resolution. They’re just scattered across Pabu and Pantora?
- The brain washed/mind controlled clones were cool but ultimately useless and easily defeated after spending all previous encounters handing everyone’s asses to them
- Bunch of force sensitive kids out now to be discovered by Luke? Hunted by Vader?
- Assaj was just there to tell us Omega was force sensitive? They could’ve used anyone to reveal this
- Will Omega show up in Skeleton Crew or the crossover movie/show?
Big picture, I really think Star Wars animation is peaking. The wide cinematic shots of ships crossing in front of the camera have really captured OT vibes. I think this was a good closure to this story, while leaving a lot of space for spinoff stories. Echo, as the focus of an anthology series about different rebel groups, could be great (I’m thinking “Tales of the Rebels”). I think Rex is getting over-saturated and I’m ok with just knowing he was off doing things.
Potential opportunities for spinoffs/appearances:
I think Ezra has the beast master thing down well enough that adding more of them would take away from his uniqueness a bit. Would love to see casual Force adepts with no lightsabers or attachment to the Jedi/Sith dichotomy, though.
