The way I think of it is that the Geonosians conceived of the idea and drew up basic plans, but Galen and the other engineers were needed to fine-tune it. A space station/weapon as big and complicated as that would undoubtedly need many modifications as it was built.

Well, I think they thought they knew all they needed to know, and once they decided to take the poison gas canisters back to the Senate they figured that was enough of a win. As the audience, of course, we're frustrated because we know his drawing was the Death Star, but the crew had fairly reasonable interpretations…

The scene where Ezra spoke loudly and slowly to Click-Clack really bothered me. It was an offensive thing for the character to do, and I'm not sure if the show is TRYING to make Ezra into a total jerk or if the writers just don't know what they're doing. I'm hoping for the former, but it's hard to tell.

I made a similar comment on AV Club when TFA came out. I liked TFA, but the rise of the First Order pretty much ruins whatever happy ending is planned for Episode IX. Even if the bad guys are annihilated, we know there's always another evil waiting in the wings. Of course, this is realistic (anyone could have seen the…

I don't know, if I were Oyelowo I would milk this gig as long as I could. It can't take much time to voice a non-main character that only appears every few episodes, and it's probably a great way to earn some easy money between movies.

Sabine owned this episode, starting with her smacking Ezra's head in the opening minute. Sabine is all of us.

Agreed. I'm not sure why people have such a problem with the AT-ST incident. This is war - and it's not pretty. Killing armed forces of the opposing side that is actively trying to kill you is different than destroying the last remaining hope for an entire species (even if that species did help your enemies).

Thanks! I remember seeing a Chopper-like droid, but it didn't occur to me that it was actually Chopper. For those who are interested, here are the Rebels references in Rogue One and Filoni's comments: http://ew.com/movies/rogue-…

Haven't watched the episode yet, but did anyone else who saw Rogue One catch the loudspeaker announcement on Yavin IV calling for a "General Syndulla"? More than likely it's just a little background wink to Rebels, but could also be acknowledgement that at least Hera makes it to the events of Rogue One.

Thanks, I misheard that.

A nanny will be hired, Dexter style, to take care of the baby for endless hours at all times of the day or night and never complain.

I am. I think her character was mishandled from the beginning, and once she was revealed to have been a spy/assassin, that dominated way too much of the plot. When she was first introduced she seemed to be there to make Sherlock jealous and ultimately realize he can care for another person other than John, and they…

Mary wasn't the G in AGRA - that was Gabriel. She was the R, Rosamund.

John's emotional (at least) affair didn't really bother me. Of course, it bothered me because I wanted to shake him and say stop it, but I think it made perfect sense for the character. Mary is complicated, potentially dangerous and/or in constant danger, and they have history. E represents someone seemingly…

Keeping OA alive but separated from Homer and with no way to do the movements (wasn't it stated or implied that you needed multiple people to do them simultaneously?) was a fate worse than death for her. Also, there was no guarantee she would actually die - she'd died many times before and come back every time.

I don't want or need a laugh track either, but it might be nice to have applause after songs. It feels too close to live theater that no applause just feels weird and wrong.

As another poster mentioned, this came out unfortunately close to the (terrific) movie, and in most cases the movie actors could play the same roles today (or haven't worked enough since that we see them any differently Amanda Bynes), so it was hard not to compare them during the performance.

I noticed that, and there was another reference later on that I can't remember now.

He ended up with Katherine Heigl in 27 Dresses (but he was part of a love triangle in that too).

As much as John Travolta's Edna makeup creeped me out, he did bring a lot more sweet fragility to the role than the more boisterous Fierstein. The line about not leaving the apartment in years was almost unintelligible in the live show.
