It's also great that Ms. Marvel has been for the most part self-contained (Wolverine guest-appearance notwithstanding, even that was more about Kamala and her storyline than Logan)—I shudder to think of what this book would look like if it were forced to tie in to every crossover event like Axis or whatnot. The focus…

Longtime infrequent commenter. You're a big reason I love the A.V. Club so much, and reading the Savage Love comments every Wednesday is a highlight of my week (to say nothing of your Futurama reviews). You are smart, insightful, and hilarious, and reading your commentary has helped me through some rough times. Savage…

Rosencrantz and Guildenstern in the French Revolution.

That is specifically what I'm referring to. As of the "Son of Dathomir" arc (which was supposed to be in Season 6, but was published in comic book form), Maul's still alive and still pissed at his former master.

THIS IS FOR YOU, DON GEISS!

Fulcrum is somehow-still-alive Darth Maul, waging a shadow war against the Emperor.

They really need to establish a GREAT reason they keep him around (Hera has sentimental feelings about the droid, only he understands the Ghost's complex systems, he really is an amazing mechanic despite it all, etc.).

Aside from showcasing Hera's incredible calm under fire, the episode did show she's keeping secrets from most of the rest of the crew. (Kanan's the only one I can see being in the loop, but that doesn't seem to be the case.)

Definitely She-Hulk and Superior Foes of Spider-Man (both of which are tragically ending soon).

There are no handrails anywhere in the Star Wars universe. Being able to jump from platform to platform might actually be a useful skill if you're stationed in the Death Star.

Or even possibly a budget choice to not have to animate additional faces.

Not only that, but if you start recruiting people to be stormtroopers, the Empire starts to feel like a government (with a functional military that anybody [male human] can join) rather an occupying force.

It felt a bit rushed in places—particularly Maul beating Dooku and Grievous so quickly and largely off-screen. I think there were some good elements to it (the return of Mother Talzin was good), but it left me with the feeling that the show would've just dragged out Darth Maul's story for longer, and after facing…

I'm hoping for a Sabine-focused episode that explains any ties she has to the Mandalorians. Why the heck is she with the crew instead of her own people? What happened to Mandalore after the events of The Clone Wars? As a Mandalorian, does she really not mind following a Jedi around?

You can tell the REALLY evil Pau'ans because they carve up their sharpened teeth to be perfectly flat and symmetrical.

There's definitely a sense he's not on any Imperial most-wanted lists. Can't really imagine him as a high-profile target for mopping up Order 66. "Okay, we got Mace Windu… Depa Billaba… *pretty* sure we got Obi-Wan… what about this Cannon guy? Kanon? Kanen? …eh, I'm sure he'll turn up."

I believe it's Passacaglia (https://www.youtube.com/wat… and The Shape of Things to Come (https://www.youtube.com/wat… on the Season 1 soundtrack.

I still remember the exhilaration of finishing the episode for the first time and—even more so than Boomer's sudden but inevitable betrayal—realizing how many threads the show had left unresolved at the end of the season (especially after this first season was largely episodic). This show really was at its best when…

There are good in-universe reasons for them to withhold the plan, but when I re-watched the episode recently, it felt more like the show trying to create tension before the commercial break.
