When the Imperials first got there, before Meero was involved, they weren't using her as bait. They would have taken the droid, imo.

Edit: I could be forgetting something about those early episodes

Not caught up on the thread but all you people hating on poor B2EMO early on... I hope you're proud of yourselves.

I think we can agree that Chopper is the GOAT droid.

I was also sure that the Dhanis were going to break out hidden weapons and attack the troopers left to guard them.

I thought that as well, especially after the speech about how easy they are to manipulate. But this show is doing some hard left turns where most other shows go right. The non-chalant brutality of the Empire is really shining through here in the worst (best) ways.

---

Threatening to kill the commandant's wife and sickly kid with guns at their heads to force the commandant to their plan to steal money didn't exactly paint the rebels in the best light either.

Broken record, I know, but holy sh*t this show is incredible.

Favorite episode yet, more so than even last week. If I'm being completely honest, I prefer Cassian's lurking, Mon Mothma's dealings, Luthen's acting, and the always simmering Officer Merro scenes to the heist action. And this episode had maybe the best of all of those things.

I also can't get over how much we're seeing in this series that's never been shown before in the franchise. That final beach resort planet was so cool and unique, we got our second ever hint of sex (the woman in bed), we had I think our first ever TV set (which Karn and his mom were watching), we saw someone take a leak an episode or two ago… all of which makes the universe feel so much more real and lived in than any other installment prior.

So many great conversations this episode too. Mon Mothma divulging to her fellow senator had me on the edge of my seat, Cassian's second conversation with his adopted mother was heartbreaking, and the final Meero scene toward the end were each some of the best writing not only in Star Wars, but on TV right now period.

If anything, it never crossed my mind how cool it would be to witness the inflection point of the Rebels landing their first punch and officially putting themselves on the map. It's just so thrilling to watch everyone react in the aftermath to the heist, and see how galvanized and nervous everyone is now on both sides, that there's no turning back, etc.

A few other tidbits…

- First mention of Palpatine was awesome. Just hearing his name, in this world, is exciting.

- I loved the little bit more we got about Cassian's backstory, where the name Clem came from, and seeing that Cassian too has a very personal reason to hate the Empire, he just hasn't embraced it yet.

- I don't know if that was meant to be the droid who eventually becomes K-2SO or not - I'm assuming no - but either way I literally raised my fist in celebration when he first appeared. What a fun fake out/tease.

- The score for this series is going to make for such great writing/working music, and this episode featured some of my favorite music yet. It really is unlike anything we've heard before in the franchise.

You've obviously missed Lumpy watching the TV on Life Day.

I doubt it very much, but I guess it's possible. Looked like a club of some sort.

There is zero chance he's a former Jedi, imo, if that is what anyone is thinking.
