Check it out. I like the influence of Daoism on *Star Wars* and the Jedi religion. Also, they could've brought up the "Don Juan" influence of *Star Wars* and the Force. Good that the video touched on the New Age crap that inspired *Star Wars*, of course. Ugh, I hate New Age crap. But hey, it inspired George Lucas and gave us the Jedi so whatever. Also, I like how they brought up the scene with Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda in *The Clone Wars* series.
I thought they could've done more with this video and they missed a lot besides. In fact, you could make a whole documentary of this, but it seems that this is the opening to a whole series so I'll be patient. What influences do you think they could've emphasized here? What else could they have said? I feel like there are a lot of things that could've been said here, but it's definitely not a right-wing video and is even a bit... left-wing? Idk. I liked how it didn't try to pander to right-wing chuds. I like that aspect of it, at least. Actually, on second thought: Watch this video and keep up with the series sometime. Cheers! ---- P.S.: What are your thoughts on what this series may be missing and what should be emphasized? For me, they could easily bring up the corporatist politics of the Separatists and the nationalist politics of them and the fact there are stuff revealed about the politics of the Old Republic in *The Clone Wars* CGI series.

What I mean is that I *personally* didn't like them. Everything was wrapped up too neatly for my tastes, though a lot of people enjoyed the last two recent episodes. I will say this: the show certainly keeps you guessing and I like that. And the last two episodes certainly continued that tradition. > > I feel that the first four episodes of season 3 were my favorite thus far. Crosshair and Omega shine as usual. I hope they both survive. The others can take a hike lol > > (I kid about that last part, but I just find Omega and Crosshair more interesting; plus, I miss Tech already.)
cross-posted from: https://hexbear.net/post/1890402 > Honestly, all three were pretty good and well-connected with each other (while still being somewhat standalone). I'm guessing we'll be having either two or even three separate storylines (cutting between Tantiss crew, Omega/Crosshair, and Hunter/Wrecker). There's also the possibility of following Rex/Echo in their own storyline, but then again, that's wishful thinking on my part. I like anthology formats or storylines that have separate POVs throughout the, well, story. Makes things more interesting that way. > > Mainly, I miss TCW for the anthology format, but we'll see how season 3 goes as it's already off to a great start. > > Discuss!

this was a blast to watch, such a great matchup and cool to hear both Hayden and Diego talk about their relationship with the franchise
Not only did it take me back to the Star Wars in my head that existed before the prequels existed but it was the most sobering depiction of struggle that Star Wars has ever achieved on screen. The prison episodes were especially moving. What do yall think about the show?
I found these ones, does anybody know others?

It's live right now. Put this in the background and listen to it.
Thrawn, you are in my very soul... tormenting me.
I... actually liked the fourth episode (the recent racing episode) more than the initial two that took place on Dooku's planet of Serreno. The third episode with Crosshair is, of course, the best of season 2 so far (and probably the best of *The Bad Batch* serial so far). Also... Rampart's a dick.
I... actually enjoyed myself more than I probably should have because I did find the action rather well-paced and good, but if you're expecting "things to happen" then you'll be somewhat disappointed. It's more of a "Oh, btw, here's where we are" kind of episode. Although I will say that I was almost afraid that they'd pull something shitty like killing Tech off early, even though I should've known that they wouldn't get rid of him *that* easily. I do like Tech... But yeah, it was pretty standard. It reminded me of a lot of TCW episodes that were either great or pretty standard and this one was the latter in that regard. But I enjoyed it all the same. Your thoughts?
What did everyone think of the first two episodes of *The Bad Batch*?
