Yeah since Lapti Nek is annexed from Star Wars forever, why not sneak it in as a fan wank? I'd have appreciated it. Instead, just a lame scene that ultimately meant nothing.
Anyway, yeah... I was talking to a buddy earlier, and I find I like the little stuff in the show more than the show itself. The mini turrets in Season one, the graffiti and propaganda posters, new ship designs, homages to old EU (even if small), and even just boxes... or the floating forklift box loader things. Or the Yavin Hangar Sled Ladders even.
And I dig Chopper... I'm easy when it comes to Chopper humor. Best design of the show IMO was taking the old R2 design and tacking on an R5-ish head so you had something new and interesting to look at, and the personality has been fun. I really actually enjoyed the episode last week where he just went off to steal something because he's a dick. And I've enjoyed the Droid he picked up from the Empire and that he appears to be sticking with the show, even if in a background capacity.
But next week... Ugh. This guy, again. You're killing me. You're not killing him, ever, apparently, but you're really killing me.
