Just rewatched the episode. That one trooper flying off the Boulder looks a bit odd, but the rest of the lighting, effects, and direction still look fine to me. shrugs

Same. I don’t even see the problem with the trooper being thrown against the rock, seems like a nitpick to me.

On the other hand, when Fennec rolls the boulder downhill and the trooper at the heavy blaster just stands there for a couple of seconds waiting to be crushed, that did look really silly to me.

EDIT: Also the latest episode seems to have been appreciated much better pretty much everywhere else than on this site (according to IMDB second highest rating after the Ahsoka episode). The point about Filoni and Favreau just moving action figures around does seem to be somewhat valid, though. However, that’s not an issue with the last episode specifically. Ever since the beginning I felt that this show does provide some excellent little Star Wars moments but right now I can’t really see them amounting to a satisfying and coherent story. I could still be proven wrong, though.
