Pretty sure one of those clones just committed a war crime. No shooting bodies!

Do the Umbarans not breathe their own atmosphere? They all seem to wear space suits 100% of the time.

Umbarans use their suits to breathe stimulant drugs, which allows them to fight longer.

Apparently, the masks pump some sort of gas that "increases their reflexes and aggression in battle". Still, It feels rather odd. Are the Umbarans naturally cowardly or did they want to match a Clone Troopers proficiency in battle with those gases?

At first, I also assumed the air was poisonous but then the I realized it was their home-world and even the Clones could breathe normally so it wouldn't make sense.

S4E9:
Ubernerd level nitpick incoming: Fives attempts to explain the commotion in the hangar by saying it's a safety drill, to which Krell responds that safety drills happen at 0600. How come they already have safety drills set up for a base they've just occupied with a severely depleted force? Don't they have more important stuff to be doing?

And another: I would gently suggest that the Trade Federation should stop building massive ships with weird corridor-hangars that lead directly to the main reactor.

The Republic has the death penalty? That's surprising and sad.

These new movies are not paragons of practical effects. Maybe by the standards of the prequels, but if we remember other movies exist for a second they’re still huge CGI fests.

Also, I don't get why they're complaining.

Does no one remember that TPM was mostly practical effects? And it still looks good to this day (As do most parts of the OT).
