Anyone watch it yet? I am still processing it. I don’t know if I liked it or not.

Thoughts and spoilers here

I was expecting more closure

  • Zillo beast was just in this whole series as a plot point to allow Omega to escape?
  • Rex and his crew had no resolution
  • Time jump with Omega in the Rebellion and literally no mention of her anywhere else?
  • What happened to Cody?
  • Why was Scorch done so dirty as a glorified name drop, he would’ve been covering their rear to make sure no one snuck up on them
  • Nothing about any of Tantiss’s other potential secrets
  • The clones didn’t have resolution. They’re just scattered across Pabu and Pantora?
  • The brain washed/mind controlled clones were cool but ultimately useless and easily defeated after spending all previous encounters handing everyone’s asses to them
  • Bunch of force sensitive kids out now to be discovered by Luke? Hunted by Vader?
  • Assaj was just there to tell us Omega was force sensitive? They could’ve used anyone to reveal this
  • Will Omega show up in Skeleton Crew or the crossover movie/show?

    Big picture, I really think Star Wars animation is peaking. The wide cinematic shots of ships crossing in front of the camera have really captured OT vibes. I think this was a good closure to this story, while leaving a lot of space for spinoff stories. Echo, as the focus of an anthology series about different rebel groups, could be great (I’m thinking “Tales of the Rebels”). I think Rex is getting over-saturated and I’m ok with just knowing he was off doing things.

    Potential opportunities for spinoffs/appearances:

    • Omega developing more force sensitivity and using it to “train” some of the kids they rescued. Not so far as Jedi, but closer to Chirrut. If it focused on connecting with animals, that’d be great too.
    • Echo doing quests with pockets of the rebellion.
    • The bad batch popping up as side characters in missions with a focus on them working with old clones and helping them have a life after being a soldier.
    • Ventress. She has to have some sort of light/dark vigilante role.

      I think Ezra has the beast master thing down well enough that adding more of them would take away from his uniqueness a bit. Would love to see casual Force adepts with no lightsabers or attachment to the Jedi/Sith dichotomy, though.
