Uhu!! Now Season 2 has officially begun!

Just a little note, Garth. The webcomic is not really a prelude to Holocron Heist, it seems to take place after the first episode, and possibly even after the second.

 

No. I think it's after the first and before the second.

 

I think so too. But it could be after the 2nd.

 

No, because on Cargo of Doom, Bane has already captured Ropal.

Please avoid spoilers for episodes 202 and later in this thread - Gry

 

Oh, didn't know that.

 

Yes! It's official now, the season is going to start!

As for the webcomic, I wonder what happens to Aurra Sing afterwards?

 

Oh. I don't usually read the webcomics, so.....

Anyway, it seems like we know pretty much what's going to happen in this episode, so I can't say I'm incredibly excited.

I would guess that all of the clips of the low-gravity fighting, etc. on the ship actually take place in Cargo of Doom.

 

Yeah, it would seem so.

And Ludo, there's no need to black highlight that...

 

Should we even highlight spoilers for Holocron Heist? The title of the thread does say "Spoilers allowed".

 

No, there's no real need to highlight spoilers from Holocron Heist here. Garth's highlighted text referes to something that might be from a future episode.

However if you write something you think even a reasonably spoiled person might not want to know, it's courteous to still highlight it.

 

Sounds good, Gry.

 

Yeah, I figured that, but I just wanted to be safe since it was a question of events between the two episodes.

 

Sure, better to be safe than sorry. I just want people to know what they should highlight or not, now that we're abot to start the season.

 

Tomorrow season 2 finally begins!

 

I have no more to teach you, grasshopper.

 

Can't wait for the true clone wars to begin and continue

 

This episode is gonna have it all! I'm really looking forward to this and the awesome plot. The Holocron is like the Allspark that everyones going after. Makes me wonder if LEGO will do a spinoff of this Holocron Arc.

From what I can tell, we will see all the top Jedi that have shown up (but Luminara) in this episode.

Then there is Cad Bane, of course.

 

So does anyone think we might get some information about the holocron's contents?

 

That's been revealed for a long time now. The holocron contains a list of force-sensitive infants.

 

Hmmm. I wonder if Cad Bane's dressing like a Jedi has anything to do with the Jedi-baby-stealer misconception certain people the the SW galaxy have? Sidious's plot might entail framing the Jedi as baby-snatchers.

 

Thanks for the answer.

That sounds cool.

So was it extra information that the crew just leaked OR it's going to be mentioned during the episode?

 

That doesn't sound like much of a Holocron

Anyway, I'm very pleased that this will be on the same night in Canada that it is in the USA.

 

Not much of a holocron?

That's priceless information. And imagine it reaching the hands of Sidious!

It's quite an impressive holocron, without a doubt.

 

He wasn't judging the quality or importance of the holocron, it's just that it doesn't jive very much with exactly what a holocron is, from what we have seen so far in the EU. Most of the holocrons we've seen are more of a teaching device, with sort of a virtual version of a Jedi Master who holds knowledge and lessons for future Jedi to study. So far this Holocron Heist holocron seems to be just a portable hard drive with sensitive information. I don't see that as an inconsistency, we have no reason to believe all holocrons are alike, much to the contrary.
