I agree with most of you guys. It was ok to good in parts, but also felt safe, vague and lacking. Rushed maybe?

A little disappointed we didn’t see Rex, Gregor, Cody, Wolffe, or any of the many new characters such as Namic, Fireball, and Howzer. They had potential. I also didn’t like the way the Clone Commandos were treated as regular troopers. Scorch seemed to be a just regular bodyguard, for fan service, and not much like his RC era character. With the Clone Assassins feeling more like an end of level boss than actual characters. These are the aspects that felt rushed or glossed over tom me.

Hemlock not having any data backups or there being an “Emperor’s Top Secret Projects” cloud seems convenient. Despite the research lost, the scientists seem to have survived for the most part according to Tarkin’s officer. Maybe they’ll go work for the Emperor now? Or not give Tarkin just decided to transfer funds to the Death Star project, despite this being of the “highest importance” to the Emperor himself.

I’ve seen elsewhere online people say they’ll bring back Tech and Scorch if they want to for future animation shows, and given the the handwaving away for Ventress return they may be right. I hope they don’t, I hope they finally stop with this gimmicky feeling trope.

The set-up and improvements in the series, especially in season 2 and early season 3, felt like they were rowed back as we approached the end of the show. I guess I was hoping for it to be more. It was okay. 6-ish out of 10 for me too.
