Bad Batch arc was fun, so I liked it.
My main problems with the sisters is that one of them was really annoying (she wouldn’t ever shut up about her ship to the point where it was beyond obnoxious; and again, literally the worst decision they could’ve made in that situation was dropping the freakin’ spice) and the arc dragged out for way too long. It felt like filler and nothing important was happening. And Knight said another reason why it bothers me: they legit neglected doing an animated Son of Dathomir or a Canon Invasion of Coruscant by Grievous to do… this. Those two would’ve been amazing and are stuff I’d actually like to see. The latter could’ve been a good opportunity to portray Grievous as an actual badass instead of a loser and it would’ve shown off the awesome new model they made for him too (speaking of putting good models to use, let’s just say I hope the ending of Clone Wars isn’t the last time we’ll see that Vader model). And I don’t need to explain why they should’ve adapted Son of Dathomir.
It wouldn’t bother me so much if they had more episodes and therefore were able to do those two arcs plus the three in the actual season, but limiting it to three arcs and choosing the Martez Sisters one over Son of Dathomir is just beyond stupid, especially since Son of Dathomir has LEGIT ACTUAL IMPORTANT PLOT DETAILS THAT ARE NEEDED IN ORDER FOR SIEGE OF MANDALORE AND THE END OF SEASON 5 TO MAKE SENSE. You shouldn’t have to read a comic book in order to understand the plot of the series. I have absolutely nothing against comic books (Vader comics are my favorite Star Wars thing Disney has put out period) but when making a series you need everything important to be in the series itself, not supplemental material. Anybody who doesn’t know that the Son of Dathomir comic exists will be left super confused by Season 5’s ending and then suddenly Maul is back running Mandalore in Season 7. Besides Son of Dathomir is incredible and deserves to be animated.
Like seriously, is it me or is all of the best new Star Wars stuff in the comics?
^ Case in point
People hated Rose and Holdo because Rose is an obnoxious, annoying hypocrite (zaps Finn for trying to abandon the resistance but then runs him over when he tries to save everyone, dooming them all) and Holdo is unreasonable, legit hides her plan from everyone for no reason (imagine if Mon Mothma in ROTJ just hid her plan from everyone and nobody knew what was going on; Han or Luke would have every right to try and prosecute her if her plan looked like it was going to get everybody killed. Or if in ANH Jan Dodonna only said “Just send a bunch of X-Wings out at the Death Star.” Of course people are going to rebel, it looks like you’re just incompetent and getting a bunch of people killed) and the “moral” of her hiding the plan from everybody else was dumb political stuff I won’t bring up because I don’t want this thread to become all political. Watch Vito’s video on The Last Jedi, it’s pretty much perfect. Sure people made fun of Holdo’s hair but that’s because they hated the character anyway for other reasons and were therefore prompted to make fun of her more, if she was a well written character they wouldn’t have done that. Like think about it, when you hate someone because of who they are as a person, you’re more likely to make fun of things like their appearance. It’s really that simple.
