Thought the seismic charge was a little fan-servicey, but not overtly so.
I’m always curious about comments like these. What do you define as fan service? It was used logically and organically in the situation, so why would it be “fan service”?
Because seismic charges are one of the few memorable things about AOTC and kind of a meme on their own right. Much like Boba saying “I’m a simple man making his way through the galaxy” referencing Jango’s line from AOTC, that is also a meme, and a good portion of fans loved it.
Am I wrong in thinking that most of the troopers we saw were probably Rogue One costumes?
Indeed, there were a lot of shore troopers at the Imperial facility. It’s not the first time the series recycles props, though. Multiple extras from TFA, Rogue One and Solo have made reappearances.
