The two part season finale rocked! It really pushed the envelope in terms of good guys and bad being violently killed onscreen. Not to mention seeing some of the gruesome hunting trophies the Trandoshans keep around! Not sure they could have gotten away with any of this the first year.

Seeing Chewie again, especially when he did his trademark head tilt melted my cold, weary, cynical fan heart for a while. Plenty of Wookiee and Trandoshan ass whupping to go around too. Alas, no arms were removed from their sockets...

And for the prequel hater in all of us, a blink and you'll miss it easter egg to savor. ;)
