but this rumor only appeared after the episode aired. so

Not entirely true. Maybe the part about this ep causing the blowup only appeared now, but we definately talked about him bitching out before any episodes dropped and talked about it being because of having to wear the helmet.

But thanks for the rundown.

Well, I see what they mean about the show changing about halfway through the season. They are definitely going bigger in scope than first season.

Good episode, I think Carl Weathers did a decent job with direction. Nice to see Horatio Sanz back for an episode at least.

how soon can we openly talk about this episode?
is Gideon building a clone Vader army? he's looking pretty Vaderish himself, i think it started kind of meh, but things started getting good when they were leaving the lab base. oh and they blew up the base, but doesnt that mean the research got blown up too? and why was Werner Herzog and the scientist working out of the town when they should have gone back to base with Baby Yoda where they have a full facilities?

I am assuming this is their new trilogy tie in? Trying to make force enabled clones or soldiers

Looks like they are pulling a bit form a Legends story. There was a run about the Emperor using the DNA from a Dark Jedi and making force sensitive clones. I am assuming this is them using that idea. I have a feeling that Moff Gideon is either a low level force user and/or he was one of the people involved with keeping tabs on the Emperor's special projects. It does help tie into what the Emperor did to make Snoke now though.

Droids are cheaper, human clones are like filling out a form in triplet and keeping only the pink copy.

the message talked about transfusions, so presumably they are looking for a way to make non force sensitive people into force sensitive. I am guessing Gideon wants that to make himself a full fledged force user

I don't know if it's necessarily for himself. I think he just wants Dark Troopers. The more I think about it, the more I think Gideon is Force sensitive. Mainly because of how loyal/scared that ship captain was in episode 3 that suicided himself.

Has to be, Gideon by himself isnt really scary. Though he does make a good chicken.

awesome episode, loved all the little touches and with all the Imperial stuff they really "spared no expense". Nice to see even in the savage outer rims of the Star Wars universe, someone still takes the time to make french blue macaroons.

Still enjoying this but I really wish we could get past the long trope of imps being completely useless imbeciles. I want them to be scary and they just never are so it never really feels like there are any stakes in all the action. End of last season was good just wish it was like that more often. Gimme more of dat Moff. Hopefully that tease at the end leads to some badass shit for the imps.

Giancarlo is talking like he's gonna be around for awhile. He was talking about his arc going into season 3/4.

i wish they didnt put him in a Vader suit. it makes him look silly. he needs his own style.
He's not in a Vader suit. He's just got what looks like an armored chest plate and pauldrons to hold his cape thing. Truthfully it's almost like the Imperial version of the Jedi Armor they wore in Clone Wars.

Just watched it. While I enjoyed the episode, and thought the Empire inclusion was cool, there was again a lot of filler.
