There’s a lot to unpack here in the episode. I know I made a couple of jokes, but slavery really isn’t something to joke about. It is a very serious topic, and I’m a little surprised to see it coming up in this series. It’s not something that was really explored in the films, so it’s a little… shocking isn’t quite the word I’m looking for, but it’s close. It’s a little shocking to see it being discussed quite openly here.
I do appreciate it, and I do hope that it is brought up again. Bc exploring how clones are treated and regarded within this galaxy is something that is much needed, imo.
I do have to say, it is a little jarring to watch this show chronologically. I’m sure some of these characters were well established prior to this episode, and coming in during the middle of that can throw off a new viewer. I’m wondering if knowledge of some of these characters would change my opinions of them after seeing the rest of the first 2 seasons.
So, up next if the movie, which I’ll start tomorrow. Now, I don’t normally try to make any predictions on movies, but it does seem like the plot from this episode will carry over to it.
The droids are going to attack the base, Slick is going to be freed to join the Separatists, and then the main series will officially be kicked off.
Ok, I will see everybody back tomorrow for the first chunk of the movie. Until then!
