Yikes, I'm going to cancel my darktroopers and see what happens. I don't really care about the wall pods. Maybe these will be rereleased on the standard card and or get a second run with fixes for the issues.

Good God make it stop.

Its nuts. They might as well go full 80s ninja turtles with all the variants. Clown Fett, Vampire Fett, Baseball Fett, Surfer Fett

There was one moment in "Rix Road" that had strong echoes of a scene in ROGUE ONE. 

The scene in RO was on Eadu, when Cassian was about to kill Galen Erso.  He had Galen in his sights and was ready to pull the trigger.  But then something struck him.  A moment of his conscience telling him this was wrong?  I actually took it as the Force speaking to Cassian, and it guided him to do spare Galen.

In "Rix Road", the moment that struck me was when Cassian was hiding in the attic of that building overlooking the square.  A breeze blew through, and it looked like something resonated with him.  And then the shot cut to Bix in her cell at the Imperial offices.  It seemed like such a similar moment for Cassian.  Whether or not he was Force sensitive is irrelevant.  But perhaps this is how the Force connects to ordinary people when they're thrust into extraordinary situations?  Because it seemed like he somehow knew exactly where to find Bix.

I think you are overthinking how he found her. Everybody tells him Bix is in the hotel and the cook in the hotel tells him where to go.

So that was a collapsable walking stick and not a lightsaber?  It did look like it was wood, but it did look like a lightsaber hilt too.

Yeah, I went back and rewatched Episode 3 and that collapsible stick / fake blind guy cane he had on ferrix is the same as what he had in the last episode. 

Of course, just because it's a collapsable cane handle now doesn't mean it wasn't his old lightsaber hilt.

Its funny you guys are going this route. I'm starting to agree and think Luthen being a gray jedi is more likely given how he seems to know everything. He definitely has sources, spies, and technology working for him but he still seems to know everything except for the rats nest inside of Saw's mind. I'm starting to think he has a Palpatine level of reach into other people's heads.

Also Kleya and Vel having a rivalry seems to be real. I went back and watched their conversation in episode 7. I recall Kleya was firm, but now I see it was a pretty similiar icy tone there as in episode 11. Apparently Vel is not supposed to just show up like that, which she did in both episodes.

Did we know Qui-Gon grew up on Coruscant before this series.

Sidenote: I'm recalling George pulled Stujon... the home planet name of Obi-wan out of his butt as a nod to John Stewart. Wookiepedia still has no reference for it.

With next season only being 12 episodes too and supposedly bringing us up to Rogue One I guess we're not going to get too many adventures of Cassian.  This is honestly something that they could have many seasons of with different missions in 3-4 show arcs.

I'm loving it and want more.

Two seasons would be a mistake at this point. I'm hoping momentum builds in reception to the show and they consider expanding the story. I would be happy to have five seasons with one for each of these five years before Yavin.

Before this episode I started considering who is or was Luthen Rael. In this episode he explained what it's like to be him but no details. He clearly is a skilled pilot, a decent hand-to-hand fighter, good with a blaster, very adept at subterfuge and has access to funds and deep intelligence sources. His 15-year timeline mean's he launched his plan around order 66 and the birth of the empire or maybe a year before If Luke and Leia are 19 at the Battle of Yavin.

Maybe he's a reverse Dooku and had intent to stand against the republic, but in opposition to Palpatine. Maybe he was aware the clone war was a lie but had access to the slush of republic funds and resources to be ready to go nuclear once Palpatine crushed the republic and formed the empire. He could have been deep in republic intelligence similar to Tarkin but with such a deep cover that few people were aware of him or think he's dead.

I am wondering if his antiquities are all genuine or if fakes are part of his scheme. If its all genuine he has crazy Indiana Jones style connections throughout the galaxy. Either way he has some culture and enough schmoozing to pull it off.

I want them to continue this format and also stand-alone stories like the Tales from the Cantina and Tales from Jabba's Palace books from the 90s.

I'm down with that. I was hoping this might be closer to the old TOJ comics with Ulic, Exar Kun and all that. Either way I would be happy to have a series that can jump all over the timeline to tell stories.

Man that price sucks. I'm out. It doesn't help that I have 9-10 of the POTF2 version from when those clearanced.
