    Discussion of New Episodes - Rules
    (1) One of the mods will post each week's episode thread a few days before it airs on Disney Channel.

    (2) Discussion in the actual episode thread will be limited to that specific episode, NOT future episodes; past episodes may be referenced.

    (3) Resistance episodes air on Sunday at 10:00 pm ET on Disney Channel. Anyone who catches an episode streaming before then must use spoiler tags.

To anyone concerned about being spoiled before watching the episode it is your responsibility to avoid the thread until you have had your chance to view.

    (4) Spoilers like character deaths, appearances, and major plot details must be spoiler tagged in the new episode thread prior to the episode television air date.

    (5) Do not post any preview video clips from the individual episode in the episode threads.

    (6) Official episode commentary may be posted in this episode thread.

    (7) Do not discuss future episodes in here.

    (8) Reviews for each episode may be posted once they have aired. One of the mods will add a grading poll to that episode's discussion thread.

    will we need to tag spoilers for this episode for two weeks?

    We probably all have come across a jerk like Rucklin at some point in life

    Yes. Though the episode is available for some, it's not available for all, so tags until its TV airing.

    I liked this episode. I think it started Kaz down the path of not trusting every single person he sees. I also really liked the backstory it started to provide to some of the characters.

    Think I caught Elijah Wood in the cast credits (Rucklin). A bit tardy there - it was the prior series that had all the LOTR hooks.

    Pretty standard character building episode - our main protagonist still helps out for those who betray him. Wish that template wasn't so predictable this time around - episode was pretty fun, though.

    Yeager is black? The family pic has him with Tam's skin tone but on the show he just looks like a white dude, even when there's no light on him. they have to fix that .

    This spy thing is not working with me at all. it's just being handled poorly.

    Can you give your reasons? Cause simply posting a pic doesn't do anything.

    I mean, I can't exactly do much other than saying "He's black". Because he's black. That should be abundantly clear from the picture.

    What do you want? A color comparison between famous black actors and Yeager?

    Can I do the comedy "he's Duros" bit before we move on?

    No? Okay, fair enough. ;-)

    Even though this looked like a filler episode, it wasn't. Glad we got a little more backstory about Yeager, looking forward to finding out more about his days as a Rebellion pilot. Some of the humor was low-hanging fruit but I did have a few laughs (when the engine started to go toward the edge, the picture of the pilots celebrating). The flying animation keeps looking great. 6.5-7/10.

    Another fantastic episode! Seriously, the animation is gorgeous to look at, and very appealing. Still don’t get how people find it bad. But different tastes, I guess. Also don’t see how people clarified this as filler. It set up some most likely important things, like Rooklin being an enemy of Kaz now (even though he saved your kriffing life...), Yeager having been a rebellion pilot and had a family, and hinting at trouble with Doza coming (who’s most likely in with the First Order). And Bucket was a blast to finally see doing what he does. Love his design.

    I have a feeling Neil deGrasse Tyson also thinks BB-8 would have (should have) slid right off the deck.

    Maybe he has a magnet inside his body and can lock down to metal surfaces with it like we saw R2-D2 do in TPM and Chopper do in Rebels. He is an astromech and needs to be able to work on the surface of ships in space...how is he going to do that if he cannot secure himself to the deck??

    7/10 some more character building, particularly with Yeager. Though Kaz continue to prove himself a putz. I hope BB-8 is the one actually doing the spying because Kaz is a doofus. There is nothing likeable about Rucklin in fact I hope he dies down the line in a racing accident.

    ...too negative? :D

    Then his ball wouldn't have been spinning slowly backwards, like a car or truck with its wheels spinning on a slippery surface. The implication was that he was really strong, but he'd also have to be REALLY heavy for that scene to make any sense.

    Could be that the design specs are for BB-8 to stick to a hull in zero G and if he moves slowly it is not problem...however in the show he is dealing with gravity and the weight of Kaz and Rucklin and it cannot hold as well and the spinning is due to those factors.

    Also...are we not getting a gallery for this episode? Not seeing anything on the Episode Guide.
