Full Series Grade the Episode 2.04: "Relics Of The Old Republic" (Spoilers Allowed)

Always with the negative waves, Moriarty.

 

So are we not getting an on screen explanation of what happened to Wolffe and Gregor just because they cut that scene?

 

Seems like it.

 

I would say send some tweets to StarWars with #RebelsRecon and ask what happened to Wolffe and Gregor.

 

5/10

Another boring episode.

 

I really don't understand how you feel AT-AT vs AT-TE is boring. What is your idea of interesting then?

 

Why does him having a different opinion than you bother you so much ?
If he finds something boring he finds something boring it's his opinion deal with it.

 

In the same way that Transformers is boring.

 

Im just curious. Why does me wanting to know why he has a different opinion than me bother you so much? If I wan't to know why he finds something boring, I want to know why he finds somwthing boring its my question deal with it.

 

Because it seemed more about criticising somone for having a different opinion than wanting to know why. Which happens a lot round here but If Iv got the wrong end of the stick then I apologise.

 

Apology accepted captain Fett4. But yeah I can see where you're coming from.

 

Yeah, obviously people have different opinions, but it's more interesting to hear why rather than just "teh sux." Sure, we likely won't agree in the end since a lot of our opinions are completely subjective, but at least it could start a conversation.

I've seen on this episode, a lot of opinions are based on reasons that are tied to how we want the saga to play out rather then a straight forward thumbs up or down for the episode. Or regardless of internal logic, if we think something is cool then we may just love it, i.e. I like Rex's character, I enjoy watching him and the Clones again, and this ep tied in to the Clone Wars which I also love. Some people hate individualistic Clones that are anti-Empire, or they hate weird creature stuff, so they are just going to dislike the episode. But I value the interesting ideas about the show that can come up while we're going back and forth, so discussion is good.

 

Play nicely.

 

Absolutely love when i get to see what happened to the chraracters from a previus series/movie

 

Welcome Shapcah

I agree.

 

A very good episode just like the season premiere which preceded it and a solid continuation from that one. being a more action heavy episode is succeeded well with the confrontation between Kallus and his forces in their three AT-AT walkers (which are apparently all new inventions here since neither the three clones or the Ghost crew are familiar with them from before) and the other stuff worked very nicely too (including that ending which I will get to). I really liked the whole sanstorm showdown which was the main even, with the good guys' customized AT-TE and the Imperials in their AT-AT trio essentially going in blind with no good visibility into the storm, all while trying to locate and defeat the other party in a deadly cat and mouse game (it was very much like the Mutara Nebula battle in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, albeit a ground version in a storm rather than a space battle in a nebula, so I don't doubt it's a reference which I liked).

Anyway, they manage to defeat the Imperials after the battle (which sees a great scene of the AT-TE facing a AT-AT in an close combat frontal assault) and it all wraps up interestingly and nicely with one of the new Inquisitors, the Fifth Brother, arriving to start dealing with the Rebels while Rex going with the Ghost crew and gets to reunite with Ahsoka after so many years; the two of them embracing in an emotional hug was a good final scene to this two-parter and a nice further bridging of TCW and Rebels. Some things that were less good was the TIE-Fighter attack (the pilot missing the targers standing on the walker in plain view was pretty ridiculous, but Gregor easily dispatching it was cool and shows that clones are better and that Rex' comment on the stormtroopers is even more legitimate) and that we didn't get to see what happened to Wolffe and Gregor after the climax (did they stay on Seelos or did they go with the Ghost crew and are in the Ghost in the final scene?).

Overall, I found it to be a very fine and fun episode with very good action and some nice character moments (including that final scene); it's no doubt one of the better regular episodes of the show (which is finally starting to find it's identity as a sequel to TCW) so far.

8/10

 

10/10

+ Agent Kallus
+ AT-AT vs. AT-TE
+ The Fifth Brother
+ Kanan & Ezra using the Force
+ Hera throwing shade at Chopper
+ Rex talking about a certain great Jedi
+ "You got old"

Another great episode from a show that continues to impress. While I didn't have a problem with the Lothal-locked first season, I do appreciate seeing the crew in new settings.
