Well I finally got caught up Friday night. I have to say I am really enjoying it. Here are just a few of my takeaways so far:
1. They are sticking to the Clones and battle against the Separtists and away from all the crazy politics and bickering in the Senate (did not like those episodes).
2. The Bad Batch is just awesome. It is like dirty dozen meets Star Wars except there are only four of them. I too noticed the Republic Commando stuff on some of their gear and loved that too.
3. Once again we see the major Jedi here and there, but they aren't the main focus the Clones are. I so hope they keep that up. To add to that we are seeing the great Sep baddies like Admiral Trench and Wat Tambor. Gotta wonder when Trench will see action figure life (he would be so awesome in AF Form).
4. It is fantastic seeing the major vehicles and ships again. The major ones are the LAAT and ATTE. I gotta wonder if we are gonna see some re-releases of these. Cmon Hasbro! I also liked the ARC-170s And Republic Dropship (remember getting those on clearance from amazon for nothing back in the day). For the bad guys I really liked the episode with the Octupurra Droids (not sure I spelled that right) and seeing the Sep MTTs were awesome too. Gotta get some Hellfire Droids and their gunships too.
5. the Echo Arc is cool. So hoping they can repatriate him and get him back into the fight. I am so so glad they got him out alive. I thought for sure once I saw him all hooked up he was a goner when they got him sorted out. I hope he can turn the tables with the intel and get back to looking like an ARC Trooper. You gotta wonder what type of Cyborg they could make out of him. I envision cool stuff for him.
So, this is now my second favorite thing about Star Wars since the Postquels came out (well Rogue One was good) and this and the Mandalorian (I hope) should put some balance back to the action figure force (make some 3.75" stuff)!
