That was a great episode.
Post credit scene awesome!Indeed.
As good as the show has been you simply can’t beat a good tie in to the OT.
##spoiler
I’ve never seen imperial troopers shoot with such precision before. Those basic stormtroopers were ruthlessly effective when gunning down the townsfolk.
##endspoiler
Makes sense though. At this stage of the Empire they had moved past clones to well trained troops ruling by fear. As seeds of a rebellion took hold they had to up the troop numbers as a show of force and they were basically patsys in armour that couldn't shoot to save themselves.
And also the biggest example of Stormtroopers having terrible aim was in A New Hope in the Death Star, where it turns out they were letting Leia escape to track the Rebel base.

Well no it doesn’t. The clones were ruthlessly effective. Latter day troopers have been shown to be….well, less so.
The guy head butting one of them was very silly

The move away from clones had nothing to do with effectiveness. I never said the clones were poor.

In case you haven't watched it, Bad Batch delves into the changeover and reasons whyYes I know all that. The point I made was I’ve never seen them shoot so well.

Like shooting fish in a barrel really, they were just shooting into a crowd. One Stormtrooper climbed a bunch of stairs to get yeeted off by a guy holding a hammer. Seems on point.

That is a good point. They should have sent one of those cool black troopers. Those guys know how to get shit done.

It was good to see Cinta take matters into her own hands, and the vulnerability of Dedra when the shit hit the fan.
The Dedra and Syril 'moment' though. Like that reality show, The Undateables.

I was pretty pissed up and tired when I watched that last night.. forgot there was probably a post-credit scene.
Just watched it now... (pretty pissed up and tired) - and yeah, nice.
I had always expected there to be some sort of reveal as to what they were building in prison - had assumed it was going to be related to his pet droid in the Rogue-1 movie, and explain how he acquired it/her/whatever.... but considering the size... I was obviously pretty pissed up and tired when I came up with that theory.
Instead... yeah, that was nice. -

Some people have hard heads…
Was it any more “silly” than Ewoks throwing a few rocks at a couple of Stormtrooper helmets on the Forrest Moon of Endor and said Stormtroopers falling like a sack of potatoes

Of course they had to take those dimensions and bring them to even more ridiculous levels in the most recent trilogy. So pointless.

@Kruse I only found out here, right now, there is a post credit scene...so off I shall go.
Same!

The post credit scene got me thinking……
How many people were on the original Death Star I wonder ?
It was definitely very “plot holey” that Obi Wan, Luke, Han and the rest could get from one area to another seemingly down a few corridors or lifts so I’ll try and ignore that……Very convenient that the tractor beam controls and the detention block were so close to each other.
But there would have been hundreds of thousands of “staff”……not all evil bastards……cleaners, caterers, contractors, engineers, builders…….
I wonder if Luke ever thought about all them after he blew it up ?
Also I love that some nerd did this…….

finally caught up, nice end to the season...thought we might see more of a successful uprising rather than everyone just getting mowed down...but this series has stuck to a theme of the rebellion being small, it also hasn't minded leaving things unknown, how may survived the escape for example
i really wanted hammer wielding bell dude to ruthlessly hammer to either side of the stormtroopers head...but a spartan kick was cool, showed the "harmless" people weren't harmless
loved the bit where andors friend used his mums brick to smash one of the imperial officers head in...we dont know her well but i think its what she would have wanted
post credit scene was awesome and visually spectacular, i could have lived without knowing what the things were....would have almost made the empire seem more evil if they weren't anything, like they were just taken round the corner and disassembled and put back in the system....just because the empire can

I thought the same. Any excuse for a Death Star shot is good though and this was the best yet.
I guess there was meaning of sorts to it. Andor helped make the thing that killed him and helped destroy it as well.

I thought one of the good things in this story was the reminder that the rebellion was also a localised / decentralised approach to start out with. When the Empire moved into various planets there wasn’t some big coordinated action going on and locals were taking it on as it came.
