No, that's not what they said. They said her blood was able to take an infusion of midiclorian rich blood (presumably Sideous') without any degradation in Midiclorian levels.

-I think that was the same planet as the clone wars movie.
-Personally, I think that the surviving Clone assassin is Cody and not Tech. If he somehow survived that fall I can't believe that he would be that agile after a month or two.
-I think Chuchi has a 50/50 chance of surviving this series since they haven't used her in any rebellion era media and her opposition to Palpatine isn't exactly subtle.
-I was convinced Wolffe was going to defect by stunning the Commando but I guess their saving that for the last three episodes.
-I hope they don't have a trigger phrase to turn Crosshair evil. The mans been through enough.
-Crosshair getting drowned was pretty brutal.

These are great, my favourite episodes of this season so far, i really liked see the rogue clones again, even if most of them got killed here. Those black armoured clone assassins can go through a lot, that fucker fell off a god damn waterfall after all that fighting and the explosions and still survived.

Also cool to see Wolf again, wonder if he will now turn against the Empire as well as the season goes on, i reckon he will since he ordered his troops to stand down and allowed the bad batch and rogues to escape. Though im surprised the Commando went along with it, since they seemed to be working directly under Hemlock a lot of the time i thought maybe he would still try and take them out and then get killed by Wolf or the bad Batch.

Crosshair also once again continues to be my favourite character in the show. Was genuinely worried for a second when he started getting slashed at by that blade then drowned.

I would not be surprised if Chuchi gets killed as well. They have tried multiple times now against her and i think they will get her eventually. Also i agree, i really hope there is no trigger word for crosshair either.

We haven't seen him as a member of Rex's group, I feel like they'd be the first people he seeks out. For all we know going AWOL could have been a euphemism Rampart used for "Arrested and sent to Tantiss"

Wolf was in a pretty shitty situation. With the distrust of the clones it's almost certain he's being monitored in some way or another. He didn't have enough of a loyalist with him to just start shooting or call him out in real time, but he has to think that maybe someone on his crew will report back that they let the Bad Batch get away.

Maybe he knows there's someone but doesn't know who so he couldn't volunteer his group to the cause because he couldn't vouch for ever soldier under his command.

It's a pretty tight spot.
"...I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season." -MLK Jr.

Official poster for The Acolyte. The series is releasing in June and its official trailer is meant to release today at some point.

I quite like the poster myself and this is one of the series ive been looking to the most (was basically right behind Andor in terms of how interested i was when it was first announced) so im hoping its good.

I see Star Wars content, I fangirl. This is the way.

We've been waiting a long time for this. Mostly everything looked good. Some of the character design looked a little wonky to me, but overall, my hype levels are through the roof.

I think it's good. They need to move on to different eras and new, original characters. No more of this, "let's make a show based on an existing character who we already know the story of (Kenobi, Ahsoka)/add a ton of story to a character who doesn't need it (Book of Boba Fett)". If Disney wants to keep Star Wars relevant and captivate the audience, they need fresh stories from various (intriguing) perspectives.
Neopets has fallen. Millions must wonder why.

Yup. Even had ties to it in Jedi Survivor and i believe the books and comics are doing well enough so why not try it in a live action format. For me its a breath of fresh air to be so far away from the Skywalker Saga and i hope that if this show does well they might even go further back and do something set in the Old Republic time period.

I imagine they’ll tie the Skywalker saga in regardless. Probably give some more lore surrounding the Prophecy.

-I think its really funny that starwars in general now goes to great lengths to avoid saying Midicholrians. I didn't know that word was something that Jedi kept as a secret from the general public.
-I know Mandalorian came first but its funny thinking about Fennec being a dangerous bounty hunter since the Clone Wars and catching a guy in a secluded swamp with mines and killer alligators and all she had when she was on the run was her sniper rifle.
-I wasn't expecting them to go to the space Bayou and wrestle Alligators.
-This just makes me more upset they canceled the Mandalorian bounty hunter game. Give us unique bounty targets and lairs, customizable armor, cool weapons, and paint styles and that game would have been a money printer.
-9/10 I liked the episode a lot, especially Wrecker beating the shit out of Alligators.

-I thought it was pretty funny that the Batch was doing their best to kill Ventress while she was holding back. Foreshadowing for when they fight another force user?
-Pretty funny they hate Ventress for being a former Separatist considering their Republic is dead and their former allies either purged or trying to kill them. Reminds me of when Tech was reminded that the people of Serenno had their own history and culture besides the war.
-That was some really good close combat animation.
-I'm happy the kraken forgave Ventress for cutting off some of its tentacles.
-I think the implication is that Omega is force sensitive but I don't think she'll be trained as a Jedi.

Next weeks episode is called "Identity Crisis" I'm not sure who it will be about.

Kind of hope Omega doesnt get any jedi training or display any real force powers if im honest. I kind of like how absent that stuff is in this show.
