The good news is that I’ve recovered from that bad taste Mortis left in my mouth. The bad news is that I am somehow already at the end of Season Three. How on earth did that already happen? Well, I guess that’s only really bad news depending on your point of view and whether you wanted these posts to go on forever or not.
The Citadel
Is this the episode that made the internet scream about continuity and Even Piell? I feel like it’s going to be judging from the previous clip. No really. I’m kinda excited to see this happen. It’s much more fun to observe these things when I’m not invested in the outcome.
Anakin Skywalker. You have a lot of bad ideas but this one probably takes the cake. Carbon freezing your team so you can sneak into the Citadel without any life signs being detected is a TERRIBLE idea. (And yes, all the tongue-in-cheek references to Empire Strikes Back were amusing but that’s really not the point here.) This is going to go badly. It must go badly. If this idea works, I’m going to be really disappointed.
It didn’t go badly. They didn’t even get hibernation sickness. This is not fair.
At least he’s getting his comeuppance with Ahsoka sneaking onto the mission. At least. You’d think he would’ve learned that ‘do as I say, not as I do’ doesn’t work very well but nooooo.
I definitely need to give this episode applause for surprising me in a way that I absolutely did not expect. It turns out that Tarkin is the Captain in question here. I didn’t expect him to show up here. Well done, show, well done.
And now the group is splitting up to try and make it out of the Citadel which OBVIOUSLY means that we’re about to end an episode. I’ll admit it: I’m intrigued to see what happens in the next one. Good thing I don’t even have to wait.
