Cookie: "The most dangerous beast is the beast within." Isn't that an allegory we get all the time? The giant monster isn't the true monster, it's us! It's not zombies to fear, it's the other survivors! Of course, viewers in the know are aware of one character in particular with a monster inside and he plays a prominent role in this episode. Anakin, too, as his fate later demonstrates.
I'm surprised no character objects to bringing the beast to Coruscant. There are plenty of worlds in the Republic, surely one could be used for research without putting such a dense population in danger. Not even the Jedi suggest that.
Heh. One of the clones says "stand your ground". Ask Gandalf how that works out.
Oh wait, Mace brings up the Coruscant objection. But he doesn't suggest using one of the literally thousands of other planets in the Republic.
I thought Dr. Boll might have been a Clone Wars-stylized Ongree. Turns out her species is a Bivall. Which means her mouth doesn't have to be above her eyes.
I do like Zillo's angry, glowing green eye. Looks pretty cool.
When Zillo escapes, why does the AT-TE just sit there? It doesn't even look damaged.
I love the guy in the building that actually somersaults over the table to get out of the room.
Gotta love Coruscant. So vast even the Zillo Beast looks miniscule.
There's something rather satisfying in seeing what appears to be genuine fear in Palpatine's eyes. Not every day one of his plans backfire.
Threepio gets in a "We're doomed!" Yay!
Heh. And even Palpatine gets the "bad feeling" line.
Rex: "Sir! Looks like the general's up to something."
Mace: "What is Skywalker doing?"
Obi-Wan: "It appears to be one of Anakin's improvised plans."
Mace: "How can it be a plan if it's improvised?"
Obi-Wan: "Not to worry. Just catch them when they fall."
Rex: "A lot of the general's plans involve falling."
Aayla's back. And she gets a line this time!
Anakin: "Here's where the fun begins." OT ref!
Man, think of all those times the Jedi strain to save Palpatine. Poor saps.
RIP, faceless Senate guard.
Seriously, Threepio takes like a twenty story fall and isn't any worse for wear. He must have really deteriorated in twenty years to lose an arm after tripping on Tatooine.
The Zillo's dying screams are kind of sad to watch.
Palpatine closing smirk!
Next, the past catches up to Mace in "Death Trap"!
