The TCW General Discussion Thread (spoilers) will be open to any "official" information discussion, other than the leaked plot info for S5, and any preview/episode clips for the individual episodes (i.e., things like IGN where they give us a 2:00 minute part of the show, often spoiling key scenes).

The S5 discussion thread (Spoilers!) will continue to be the main heavy spoiler thread, including discussion of the video clips for each week's episode. Plot spoilers will continue to be limited to this thread and must still be "spoiler tagged" or black highlighted.

I am anxiously awaiting this!

 

I'm very exciting to see the finale for this arc. Grievous, pirates, Hondo, Younglings in danger. Petrol getting smacked upside the head. Its gonna be fun. ^_^

 

Sounds promising...


Grievous FTW!

 

So is Slave I legitally returning? Hope we get some reference back to Season 2 about Aurra crashing the ship and a maybe a flash back of Hondo helping her out of it.

 

I cant find the words to describe this episode.

 

I don't see why a flash back is needed. Obviously Hondo took it and repaired it.

 

If showing a flashback of Ahsoka as a baby is important, I'm guessing this would be as well.

 

This episode is gonna be awesome

 

At least this arc doesn't feel like it's been dragging as much as Onderon and Umbara. One more episode feels about right.

And.. eh, I like Hondo, but I wouldn't mind them giving him a rest for, like, the remainder of the season.

 

I agree that Hondo should not be over-used. He's one of the best characters TCW has created, but using him too much risks making a caricature of him.
Regardless, the previews look great and I'm really looking forward to the finale. Keep Christian Taylor on the payroll!

 

The wookiee says "No!" in the trailer! How cool is that!

Sadly, it sounds as though Kartooni still hasn't blown her nose.

 

Kartooni. xD

Oh man... now I got another one.

 

seriously the twists ans turns of being ally and enemy with Hondo are getting cliche now, the only thing tat really saves it are his one-liners.

 

I agree with all of you. I CAN NOT WAIT!!!

Didn't she just say he pulled her out of the rubble. That feels not enough for a story.

It is totally not dragging. Umbara and Onderon did drag, with Umbara being the worse one of the two BUT THIS ARC... I love Young Jedi.
The pace is perfect and every episode feels different and unique. Feels so much like Season One. That is why I love it...

 

I wonder if any of the younglings will die.

 

Could not agree more.

This episode looks amazing! Cannot wait to see it.

 

Come on, Grievous. All that's standing between you and victory is a group of kids and some drunk pirates. You can do it!!

 

Are we still on these ****ing kids?

 

We usually don't see Grievous pulling out a 3rd blue saber. I guess too many green sabers would just look worse or something ?
But now there's an equal number of blue and green to be flashed all over the place.

I'm just so used to the blue/green alternation

 

Oh god, it's even worse than I thought. not only are their children, but Obi Wan is going to be saved from Grievous.... by Ahsoka.

 

I swooned!

 

I don't think Obi-Wan's even in this episode.

 

He probably returned to the Temple or a nearby fleet in the escape pod.

 

Does anyone know how the kids get back to Coruscant, if their ship never makes it off Florrum?
