If there is one thing we know about the Sith, it’s that they take workplace safety very seriously.

The "good" guys wipe droid memories all the time.

Back scars. Who's the only Jedi we've seen, who uses a whip lightsaber?...

Im telling you. Bazil is the real sith lord.

Best tagline I seen about this episode “The Dark side, we have Soup”!!!

I had "Manny" thoughts about this episode 👀😳

Now I'm picturing Zoro using "three lightsaber style" and holding one in his mouth xD

Lee is the last name. Jung-jae is the first name. His co-stars call him JJ.

19:11 I hit them with a Do It at that exact moment on my first watch

I'll bet that droids auto backup their memories into the device hub whilst recharging.

Forgot to say don't get me started on Palpatine. Lol

Osha is the acolyte and I think Qimir was Vernestra's padawan but not the one in the books cause he looks entirely different but the reason why I think Qimir was her padawan is cause his scar looks like it came from a light whip

So I have a weird theory about the Sith Master. We keep seeing these scenes with the Security Council and how the Jedi are under scrutiny and how they are having to play politics. It feels super random but there must be something intentional about these scenes. I'm wondering if the Sith Master is the one that is trying to turn the Republic against the Jedi at this time. It will obviously fail, but it kind of feels like a big plot a Sith would try to devise, in order to eventually seize power.

27:02 hoooo boyyyy. The Droid Conversation. One day, there has to be a reckoning in the Galaxy. It was one of my favorite moments in Mando S3. Lots of people hated that episode, but I loved how Blade Runner it was.

"Nor should you [trust me]. But you should learn to trust yourself." = Every conspiracy grifter who says "You don't have to take my word for it. Do your own research."

Okay, as far as Qimir character moments with the Dark Side manipulation, this was a good episode. But as far as plot, it really felt like this episode was just stalling until we FINALLY find out what happened to the coven next week.

I guess the droids thing is a little f'd up. Though I guess the thing I thought was screwed up was when in Attack of the Clones the " good guys" used clones as cannon fodder while the "bad guys" used machines.

Return of the Gallifrey Pals. Qimir, The Phantom Menace?...

I agree about Palpatine returns. In the movie series itself, a major plot point is left to the opening crawl. This is literally an example of telling instead of showing.

pip factory settings is ABSOLUTELY a payoff for the finale.

Of course Bazil knows... because of Bazil's nose! 🙄 THAT’S for beating me to the 'Osha compliant' G-U-A-R-D rails pun...🙂❤

Enter the "if is bad, why is hot" crowd. *Asaj Ventress and Episode 3 Anakin have entered the chat*

I'm with you DROID RIGHTS!!! DROID LIVES MATTER!!! 😅 Save Pip!!!

well at least Jeckie and Yord got another paycheck

Star Trek has also had moral treatment of synthetic lifeforms....TNG has "Measure of a Man" when Data had to go on trial to answer the question if he had rights.....Voyager had a similar episode about the Holographic Doctor having rights when a reall D-bag in the Alpha Quadrant tried to steal the copyrights the Doctor holonovel....Voyager also had another episode when they discovred the Holograms of the doctor we just an artificial lifeform to enslave and should they have rights to freedom....then the entire first season of Picard was about the Romulans trying to genocide synths and they just wanted the right to exist....of course these were all metaphors about real life situations as well

Is everything ok as there is no red dwarf this week

Master Sus.

Happy Thursday! Nothing else worth celebrating today other than Star Wars!!!

17:27 I was looking forward to your reaction to the jump cut to Jecki. lol. That was a mean thing to do to us. 23:03 Cool episode but still a little too short for me. They should have combined 4 and 5 and then I assume this one and 7. Enjoyed your reaction as usual. Love watching you two together.

Guard* rails :D

It's remarkable how the second half of this show is massively improving on the plodding unsatisfying first half, these last two episodes have honestly been really good. Quite a change of pace from last week's fast-paced action-heavy episode, this was a great chance to explore the different character dynamics, get into their heads and find out more about how they tick. The stranger/Qimir/Darth Bortles is honestly shaping up to be one of the most interesting characters in this series, if not the entire franchise, I love how he's a sinister malevolent presence who's clearly trying to sway Osha to his side, but is doing so while being way more open and honest than the Jedi are. I also love how we're seeing more sides to Sol's character too, a look behind his sage spiritual persona to show a more emotionally raw and potentially a kind of darker side. Manny Jacinto, Lee Jung-jae and Amandla Stenberg are doing excellent work here, seeing these four characters bounce off each other makes for such fascinating compelling character drama, and has me genuinely hooked. And in general, I'm really liking how we're blurring the lines of the binary Jedi/Sith dynamic, it really puts me in mind of The Last Jedi in a great way (also speaking of TLJ references, I'm taking that island planet to be Ach-To until proven otherwise - us hardcore TLJ defenders have to take our W's where we can get them). So yeah, excellent performances, captivating character drama, and it still has the time to include a funny little guy (Bazil) to remind us we're in the Star Wars universe. Depending on how the series sticks the landing, this could end up being the second best live-action Star Wars series so far (I mean even if the next two episodes are phenomenal, there's no way this series will be able to beat Andor)

They are doing such a good job of making the bad guy's side feel plausible. He's not just claiming to do bad things for some good reason. We see him lay out a case for why he has to fight the jedi, and of course it helps that the jedi are so shady here. And I never feel like i'm being asked to think his acts are truly justified, but just that he has real motivations. And yes, that shot of Jeckie was downright cruel. But it does serve to remind us that, while the Stranger can act calm and reasonable on Unknown Planet, he also did that. I still hope he's not an actual Sith, if only because i like the idea that there are many force traditions in the Galaxy (it is a whole dang galaxy, after all), and purely individual ways of approaching it.

Qimir is evil but the force is long with him... Strong! The force is strong with... Could you put your robes back on?

When I tell you my fall to the dark side would be complete THE MOMENT the robe came off, good lorde, that man, he’s definitely got the seductive dark side down to a T.

Is BSG on hold or did 2-10 go too far and you're done?

oh hai :) algo time! :D

HEAVY BREATHING

The hornier & queerer Star Wars gets the better for us all.
