“’I am one with the Force and the Force is with me’ is so meaningful now.”

“You’re lucky Anakin didn’t show up. The way you’re fighting you wouldn’t have lasted long.”

SPOILER

“Anakin offers a compromise: send Rex and Ahsoka, with a squad, out to Mandalore, while he and Obi-Wan deal with Grievous’s assault on Coruscant (thus explaining where she and Rex were during Episode III). It’s a good compromise, but it’s a little odd it wasn’t considered sooner.”

“Ahsoka responds ‘I’m not trying to be,’ and, ya’ll, it just comes off petty, manipulative, and nonsensical. Ashley Eckstein sells it as best she can but the dialogue has nothing here to really work with.”

“but it also belies belief that these droids–these machines of all shapes and sizes and builds–couldn’t detect the sheer number of clones underneath the bridge (if it were a few clones I could buy it, but there was suddenly a whole battalion underneath them).”

“I thought Trace was a terrible pilot? That would have been such a specific, unique obstacle to have with during that final chase from the Pykes. But Trace actually does some great aerial moves. It’s like the show completely forgot about it.”

“but here, neither sister learns anything from or about each other, no one really changes”

Watching this, I was wondering “Who are these mysterious figures watching Ahsoka?”

“Season 7 is turning into a true disappointment.”

The Padme/Ahsoka friendship that was hinted at in a few episodes of TCW was something I wanted to see more of and was disappointed at how little we got of it.

“The opening sequence has her riding a bike into the depths of Coruscant–not too far from the Jedi Council she just fled from”

Even if I didn’t already know that The Bad Batch got their own show, it’s pretty obvious from their appearance in these 4 episodes that were being setup for a spinoff show. All we needed was Rex to say to them at the end of the episode “I can’t wait to hear all about your adventures every week, each one in an exciting…

I really wanted an angry Ahsoka at the end of her story in season 5 (?) where the Jedi Order kicked her out when they thought she was a terrorist, but then tried to let her rejoin when she was proven innocent.  I wanted her to say “Oh, you want me back now?  Where were you when I was wrongly charged with terrorism and…

The Bad Batch *are* all clones of Jango - they are still voiced by Dee Bradley Baker, who voices all of the clones.  But they were “unsuccessful” clones in that they did not come out of the cloning process as identical to Jango.  So there were genetic abnormalities in these clones which made them look and act…

After the last 4 episodes of this season, it’s funny to see someone say at the start of this season that they didn’t want this season.

There was a “Death Star” EU novel set during the events of ANH where a lot of people living and working on the Death Star were horrified when they learned that the station they lived and worked on had just blown up a planet and killed millions of people.

Some stories are cliches and repeated by multiple franchises for a reason - when done well, they can be great, as this one showed.

If this episode had taken place before the episode where Zeb finds his people, then I’d agree with you.  But there’s a reason this takes place *after* that episode - this Zeb has realized that he is not “the last” of his species, as he thought for so long.  So his need to get vengeance on the Empire (and specifically…

There was a “Death Star” novel in the EU that describes life on the Death Star during (and before?) ANH, and how a lot of people living and working on it are horrified when they hear that this station that they live on just blew up a planet, killing millions of people.
