He's from Concord Dawn which is Mandalorian controlled But is it made up of the same type of people? Pretty sure they're Mandalorians. I don't think Jango was born a Mandalorian though, his village was raided by the Mandalorians of concord dawn and he was the only survivor I think when he was a kid. Then they took him in. You are either born a Mandalorian or you prove yourself and become one. Technically Maul could have became a Mandalorian cause he proved himself i think. Concord Dawn was also in Rebels last season, or at least one of its moons |

Okay, so I saw Holocrons of Fate today and now I can't get my head round how some people think the "He lives" line could very well refer to Savage instead of You-know-who. Where's the common sense?  Still, really enjoyed this one and the vision scene was so expertly animated. Never expected this fear of the spiders to last this long though. |

The new episode wasn't a bad filler, Wedge was a bit younger then he maybe should have been but he can't be too old either cause him and Luke are about the same age, which means he has to be the same age as Leia from season 2 as well.
Imperial training seems rather brief though, they only get trained for a small amount of time but in that amount of time it seems rather intensive... they should just train them longer.

Also I think Kallus will either defect or get executed/ prisoned for helping the Rebels/ failing to catch the Rebels, he has to eventually get discovered.

I like that they're not using generic characters as much though, two of those imperials were unique and have not been seen before.

Another cringey episode... I want Kallus to get an episode to himself. His character has a lot of potential but I doubt they're going to do anything good with him...
Also they gotta stop putting multiple people in TIE fighters...

The Thrawn trilogy has new digital covers on IBooks... odd they had the same ones from the early 90s before.
But with Thrawn coming into canon again, it's possibly they may make the old Thrawn trilogy canon as well. It's probably the most popular EU content and since it takes place a couple years after ROTJ it doesn't interfere with new movies
Of course they would probably edit some things to make it fall in line

I've been seeing so many people still speculating who Fulcrum is... didn't this episode basically confirm it was Kallus? It seemed pretty damn obvious. The voice was obviously Kallus and his reveal at the end pretty much confirmed it. Maybe he's not full-on Fulcrum, but he was at least the Fulcrum that gave the rebels the info on the pilots at Skystrike Academy. |

I would have liked to see Zeb's reaction though... they really needed one final scene where Sabine told Zeb what Kallus said. Other than that it was a good episode.

Though Kallus did seem kinda passive... he should have recognized Sabine right away but maybe he just didn't say anything. |

I feel like Kallus as fulcrum was a one time thing because he said they were even now. I would expect in the future, other people to be fulcrum but I guess they could use Kallus if they wanted

Next two episodes are Hera's Heroes (Cham and Thrawn episode, this weekend)) and then The Last Battle (Rex and Battle Droids, October 22nd)).
Next 3 after that now have names:
Imperial Supercommandos (November 5th).: This is almost certainly the Dark Troopers.
Iron Squadron (November 19th): Hmm interesting title, not exactly sure what it means, sounds kinda Imperial. Could be Mandalorian.
The Wynkahtu Job (November 26th): Weird title but Wynkathus could be Mandalorian word, could be the dark saber episode.
---
What sucks is the two gap from the Last Battle to Supercommandos and then another 2 week gap... that's really stupid. 1 episode in 3 weeks

I really liked the new episode, Thrawn was obviously the highlight, he's so different from the other Imperials and he has a different sort of presence.
But Ryloth was pretty cool, probably my favorite episode of the season so far.

Best episode so far but that's not saying much...... I think it's like the only one to not start with the Ghost or another ship flying through space... Thrawn was good I really like his theme. Honestly nothing really wrong with the episode although going after the artifact was kind of simple and not interesting.. Also I would've liked to see other twi'leks... there probably wouldn't have been many just wandering around but maybe a couple servants would've been good

The tactical droid looks exactly like the TCW design. This one actually seems really interesting with those droids thinking the Clone War is still going... but it's sort of unlikely an entire dreadnought full of droids would be forgotten and the fact that they still function... I guess the ship sustained them and I suppose R2 and C3PO are still functioning...
But where the fuck are Wolffe and Gregor...... there really needs to be an explanation in this episode

Ok looks like that is actually Kalani........ Agamar was mentioned in the Onderon arc when Dooku told Kalani to move there..
I'm really excited for this one I wish it was like a four part arc there's so much potential here...

But then again... in the EU the empire reprogrammed some Droids and used them as defence, the droid tech was used in the dark trooper program as well which we're gonna see soon

I liked the episode, had a lot of cool stuff show up.
I guess they never had the need to in TCW but it would have been cool to see the droids and clones work together just once. Closest we got was the reprogrammed ones in the Citadel arc.
Kinda wanted Kalani to join the Rebellion...

What the Potato is Awesome was this nostalgic Potato Rules
Lol jk it wasn't that bad but still not great. Instead of that weird war game, I would've had the droids be guarding something for years just waiting for their next set of orders. Then Rex's Santa Claus looking ass along with the others would've come to Agamar (still for supplies like in the episode) and stumble onto an entire battalion of droids. They then talk to Kalani and explain the war ended and idk they could end it there or still have the droids fight the Empire.
Rest of the episode was cool though but I wish we saw Vulture and super battle droids.. Also Rex took two direct hits which should've killed him but whatever.. And I guess the Empire finding CIS remains is not all uncommon. Glad Ezra finally got roasted by Rex because his ego is too Potato is Awesomeing big.....
Oh and the TCW style Rebels logo and TCW credits music at the end was a neat throwback. It definitely was a very nostalgic episode. when Rex was fighting the droids it made me think of Anakin and Obi-Wan doing the same in those TCW episodes

Rex was pretty cool, but seriously where is Wolffe and Gregor... |

I doubt he was ever in any battle but I guess he did know some maneuvers/strategies somehow... And yeah that is really weird about Wolffe/Gregor they should've been in this episode |

Plus Kanan is seen fighting in the comic series he has |

I bet Kalani is going to be searching the Galaxy for whatever remains of the Separatist resources and he will probably put together a decent size force.
Kalani has knowledge of probably every Separatist base and while most of the stuff will obviously be shutdown the Empire can't possibly have destroyed everything. I mean there's 3 Hammerhead cruisers from The Old Republic still around in this time era.
He could probably find a few Banking Clan Frigates and some tanks and stuff to challenge the Empire a bit, I'd think he would fight the Empire since as mentioned the Republic became the Empire.
Either way I'm pretty sure Kalani will return probably next season

Also why is Phoenix squadron so well known... I think that's the name of their cell right? They only have a couple ships and a lame base on Bendu's planet... Honestly there shouldn't even be any cells anymore they have barely 2 years before ANH/Rogue One. In Rogue One you can see the Rebellion has a lot of tech and troops and good established bases. I doubt they could do that in two years.. Also where are Mon Mothma and all those guys... All the cells should start joining up to create a unified rebellion there's no time for this Mandalore shit lol

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
