That Crosshair can be quite annoying at times... ;) At least he did the right thing. Well, mostly...

2023-01-19 19:47:47 +0000 UTCAnother interesting detail taken from a Legends videogame: the "training" droids they fight have their designs taken from another legends videogame, Star Wars: Dark Forces, where they are called "Dark Troopers". The Dark Forces videogame is pretty old, 1995, and it is a first person shooter, but it's sequels are the Jedi Knight series of games that have some of the greatest lightsaber combat mechanics in any Star Wars videogames, specially the Jedi Knight 2 and Jedi Academy games. And, well, Kyle Katarn, the main character of those videogames is one of the most iconic Legends characters coming from a videogame, together with Revan. If you don't mind an old-school shooter with a somewhat interesting plot, I can highly recommend you check those games.

2022-12-07 13:17:56 +0000 UTCHmm it might have just been a theory or a hunch that I had proved right. I just went digging on information and I found this interview about it: "StarWars.com: I don’t know if you can answer, but I saw on Twitter that fans were debating whether Crosshair really had his chip removed or the Empire made him think he had his chip removed. Is that something you can comment on? Jennifer Corbett: I think we can say that he had his chip removed. Brad Rau: Yeah. Have you seen the side of that guy’s head? [Laughs] Jennifer Corbett: The eagle-eyed fan will rewatch the season and notice a shift in his character, and when that is. They’ll probably have seen it all along. StarWars.com: I think it probably stems from people who are fans of the character not wanting it to be a genuine turn. Which is understandable. Jennifer Corbett: That goes to your earlier question because he’s technically the villain of the season in some people’s minds. You can get over that by saying, “Yeah, but he’s controlled by the chip!” So we wanted to twist it and really show that there are clones out there who, the effects of the chip are wearing off, and are still staying with the Empire. And there are other clones like Captain Howzer who are not. Crosshair is one of the ones who had his chip taken out and he’s still all in with the Imperial way of thinking. Brad Rau: It is something we talk about a lot. It is a storyline that we’re not done with telling."

2022-12-03 17:16:01 +0000 UTCA very emotional Finale l! Seeing Kamino get bombarded and sink into the sea was a beautifully tragic sight. That definitely symbolizes the true end of the Clone’s time in the sun. I find it interesting that Crosshair has this sort of superiority complex and power fantasy. Like obviously a bad thing but because he is a defective clone with a “family” it sets him apart from our typical imperial stuck up officers. I just really like this whole show, I’m a sucker for the Star Wars media that has a crew on a ship. Which is really funny how Herra meets Omega and the Batch minus Crosshair and says. “You get to live on a ship? That’s my dream!” And that ends up being something she DOES in rebels!!! Also I’m pretty sure that Crosshair never said that he removed his chip until these episodes. Because it was a big surprise to most people when it aired. One of us probably spoiled it at some point or you just had a theory of yours prove right😅🤷♂️. To think that without FIVES; Ahsoka, Rex, and all of the Bad Batch and possibly others would almost certainly be dead. All because Fives told Rex about the chips. I WANT TO SEE MY BOY HOWZER IN SEASON 2! I neeeeeed him to be ok.

2022-12-03 07:13:05 +0000 UTCAhh yeah good point about the probe droids. Oh I didn't recognize Cody! Maybe that's who I thought was Gregor. 😅 I'm all for time jumps! And yes watching shows with you all at the same time is a treat for the whole speculating together part of it.

2022-12-03 01:07:05 +0000 UTCAZI dying would have been okay with me. I like your speculation about Nala Se. Maybe we get more Crosshair development in Season 2, here's hoping anyway! Glad you enjoyed the reactions.

2022-12-03 00:41:04 +0000 UTCI loved this finale and your reactions, very emotional indeed. Kamino being destroy is a big signal the time of the clones is nearly over. How crosshair will be rescue is kinda hinted at by Tech, he said they had to hurry before the Empire scoots comes to check. The Empire is big on using probe droid, so i think Crosshair will get back to his precious Empire that way. Looking ahead for season 2, i hope we get more Rex. Since you saw the trailer, one of the clone in it is actually Cody so that will be fun to see him in the story. And there will be a time jump, it was revealed in a interview on sw.com when the season 2 was announced. Not a big one apparently but we don't have more details. It will be fun to discuss the show with you as it happens for season 2, no more risk of speculation spoilers. :D

2022-12-02 22:57:55 +0000 UTCThis was SOOOOO emotional 😓 That final line from omega to crosshair didn’t get me the first time but every time since then it choked me up. So heartbreaking man ): Just a little speculation, i believe that Nala Say being brought into the empire has big connections to palpatines return in The Rise Of Skywalker (with her experience with cloning etc) I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel AZ should’ve ‘died’ there, like yeah it’s a bit of a downer but I feel we needed a bit more emotional baggage to really solidify this show as great for me. Overall, I personally really like this show, nowhere near as much as clone wars or rebels but it’s definitely a good watch. There was some filler here and there which I really wasn’t a fan of looking back, especially because this show is 16 episodes long and either could’ve been cut down to be more streamlined or used certain episodes to further develop crosshair as I feel more time should’ve been dedicated to him. I loved your reactions to this show, KL. You’ve helped me enjoy it much more than I did on my first viewing (:
