In this episode’s comic “The Ballad of Cham Syndulla” we get the backstory of Cham and his heroic leadership of the Ryloth resistance. It even rhymes!
Fortune cookie: “Compromise is a virtue to be cultivated, not a weakness to be despised.” Wow. Our government could stand to learn that. In our case, though, likely referring to the tentative agreement to an alliance between Mace and Cham in this one, as well as people's hero Cham and elected Ryloth Senator Orn Free Taa.
Mace does the Shatterpoint! And it’s cool.
Ah, Commander Ponds. We remember you.
Those walkers can jump. And I wonder if having a great arm is a requirement for driving them. One of those clones throws a thermal detonator into a really tight spot onto a droid tank.
Mace’s eyebrow ridge distracts me from time to time. Kind of gives him a caveman look.
Ryloth has some crazy rock formations.
Those rebels sure are sneaky.
Bombing a village of women and children. Pretty dark for this show at the time.
Cham, of course, brings up a good point of trading one occupation for another, a fear that becomes all too real in a few years.
The energy bridge reminds me a lot of Halo.
Mace is pretty darn badass in this one. That scene with the lack of music and muted sound is still rocking. There are just some things you can’t do in live action. That’s one of them.
Commando droids! Cool as usual.
All these years later, Tambor is still in custody. I wonder when he’s going to break out. Or maybe it’ll be a prisoner exchange.
I’ll admit, the little Twi’lek girl at the end of the episode creeps me out a bit. Good trilogy though.
Next: The season ends with “Hostage Crisis”!
