Just a little something to get you excited for next episode...
So its double confirmed that the psycho is a psycho. If these Proto Alliance Rebs still allow her to stick around if they find out she is Death Watch I will have to confirm that the SW universe is just as bad as the 40k universe in that not one faction is good. Although there alot of good Imperials and Rebs for now.
Hmm, I guess you missed the bit where Sabine said her mom was Deathwatch but that she wasn't.
I don't see that as being that great of a feat. Anyone with a Lightsaber can chop down a AT-AT.
Not as of Phantom Menace, with a single stroke you couldn't.
Clearly that's no longer the case.
That, and Death Watch did have a bit of a split themselves.
Does it bother anyone else that Ezra and Leia are supposed to be the same age, but Leia looks like she's 24 in the show and not 14?

Characters doing outrageous things in comics, cartoons, and movies is more of a function of the medium than it is a direc matter of A being "better" than B.
If the TPM was a cartoon then Quigon would have just done a quick slice around and then attempt to push the door in (before being shoo-ed off).
Similarly in live action, characters would be much less inclined to extreme athleticism.

It's reasonably close to what she should look like at the age. This is a photo of Carrie from 1972:
Quite simple really; a blast door's only function is to keep everything out. An AT-AT's legs is designed to give moderate protection while supporting weight. I can totally buy one not being hacked into, and the other hacked. Considering a blast door is literally a sheet of duristeel that is probably enhanced for maximum heat resistance against standard boarding actions, I can buy it.
That being said, differences in media, that and it's technically a kids show with something for the adults to enjoy. If it gets more kids/people interested, I don't mind seeing the odd silly thing. I just watch if I have nothing better to do with a particular 20 mins of my time.

Part of it may have just been quirks of the animation. There were shots that I easily believed her to be a teenager. But, the voice actress didn't help too much. Though I understand the issues with what her direction was, as they wanted Leia to try to sound older and in charge.
Her "did you see that" line really sold her as still a teenager, imo.

Aren't blast doors really more for keeping sections of a ship pressurized and preventing the spread of fires than they are for repelling attacks?
Edited by DarthEnderXLeia should have stayed away from death sticks.

Why not both? Especially on a combat vessel (or civvie vessel refitted for combat, like a Lucrehulk), it makes sense to reinforce blast doors to make them even more blast door-y, to help resist any boarders or make vital compartments more resistant to penetrating weapon hits.
Anyone else think that they are making the Knights f the old Republic games more canon as this episode the ships the stole were remarkably similar to the hammerhead class cruisers from that game

Either way, it speaks well of the lifting capacity of the Gozanti, not to mention sets up a neat future mechanic for a land battle-based game, maybe?
I'm not sure how much of an issue "lifting capacity" is when you have antigravity technology.
I'm just so happy that the AT-AT barge is probably no longer a thing...
I miss the AT-AT barge, it was like the LST of star wars. The Gozanti, using it for AT-ATs reminds me of a LCAC for some reason.
TBH the AT-AT barge makes more sense than the Gozanti carrying AT-ATs. I mean what with atmospheric re-entry, resistance and so on. Not the kind of thing The Gozanti can really project its cargo from that. Though I guess Shields are a thing when the plot wants them to exist, so- no biggie.
It is more efficient at least.
I don't think those AT-ATs were carried from a Star Destroyer (if there was a SD in orbit it would be the ship intercepting Leia's Hammerheads) - if they are just transporting them from a nearby base they don't have to worry about reentry and stuff and transporting walkers via Gozanti seems to be a much simpler process than with a barge - you basically bypass loading and unloading.
I personnaly don't really like the Old Republic Era, it's weird how they have the same tech level and everything, some of the droids are even more advanced to!

I was more bothered since tales of the jedi did such a good job of interpreting what the galaxy far far away looked like an even longer time ago.

I don't understand how an interstellar civilization, even one that doesn't span the Galaxy, could last 20,000 years and not have godlike technology like the Asgard or other aliens from SG-1, given the commonly assumed advancement rate of technology. Screw cloning, they should be bringing people back from the dead.

And there you go.
Presumably, the physics in the SW universe only allows for technology to progress so far. After that, it simply isn't possible to truely "advance" any more. All you get is changes based on the cultural attitudes surrounding the tech. The galaxy wide "meta" if you will.
The AT-AT Barge looks like dog doo and I will not miss it. The Gozanti is 100% cooler.
The barge is in the mobile game Star Wars Commander. So... it is canon, right?

The Barge is still canon, it's in Star Wars Commander.
Dang, ninja'ed.

She is very small in the show, but has a mature voice (and behavior). She could be, like, 16.

I always liked the Dark Ages explanation. Such a pity we didn't get more Knight Errant stuff. That really sold the stifling of technology.

Same age as Ezra, minus a day or two.
In the old EU she became a senator at 16. I guess ol' Jimmy Smits retired then. She is probably a representative in rebels currently, similar to Jar Jar was when Padme was running around shooting robots and getting knocked up.
Anyone else really like the noise the turrets on the Ghost make? It has a sort of hollow, mechanical ring to it that is unlike the sound of other weapons in Star Wars (that I recall, at least) but is unique and pretty awesome.
