General Star Wars Animated Series

Kalani was always one of my favorite Separatist generals (alongside Trench), so it's awesome to see him again - and it makes an odd amount of sense that of all of them he would be the one to join sides against the Empire (if temporarily).

Seriously, this was something I've hoped to see in the new canon for ages - battle droids surviving the war independently, existing on their own. My new headcanon is that Kalani left to start a droid nation on some uninhabited planet - cue droid senator in the sequel era.

Yeah, the episode was as good a throwback as Relics of the Old Republic.

Also, having watched the Rogue One trailer, I'm thinking that one mechanical foot of the "öther returning TCW character" kinda looks like Kalani's foot... Maybe they do meet again?

Say what now? There's another TCW character in Rogue One?

Yep! Saw Guerrera. Played by Forest Whitaker.

Nhaz said another Clone Wars character and referred to a mechanical foot belonging to that character being in the most recent trailer. I was under the impression the only Clone Wars character in Rogue One was Saw.

I was referring to Saw. As in "another from Kalani's TCW arc".

I made an oblique reference to Saw on the previous page (he and Kalani both came from the Onderon arc, and are reappearing within two months of each other).

Nhaz is referring to the latest Rogue One trailer, where you can see that Saw has an artificial leg, and is supposing that it previously belonged to Kalani.

Clone Wars Season 1 Blue Virus episode: The One With a virus that appears as a visible blue cloud, and where Jedi masters forget they can catch things using the Force.

Clone Wars Season 2: Mace Windu knocks Droidekas over with the Force BEFORE they set up turrets and shields.

Fucking finally

He shot her jetpack!

Seriously though... I was really excited for that thing.

So I just saw the episode with Kalani and the Battle Droids. Does anybody else want them to come back in some way? I think a comic miniseries or something about him rounding up the remaining Battle Droids and starting some kind of society would be interesting.

Dunno, but I remember hearing (on Rebel Recon?) that Kalani would calculate the Rebellion's chances to be high enough after the first Death Star was destroyed, and join them.

I've wanted this in Star Wars for so long that the end of that episode practically had me Squeeing. I'd love to see a Droid Society show up in the sequel series as part of the Senate or something, maybe even with Kalani still leading them.

So on that note, I hope Kalani and the droids live through the series and don't get a Back for the Dead sort of appearance later on.

Well, I guess we know which character is about to bite it.

Wow, that manadalorian episode really was an embarrassing show of incompetency for Sabine and Ezra.

......The hell are you talking about?

Spoilers for the entirely of the latest episode.

Their captive knocks them out and steals their weapons, so they just, run out into the planet hoping to find him, they then shot own an imperial drone with no idea if it sent off a distress signal or not, they then get ambushed, Ezra then gets captured (without first picking his lift saber back up) Ezra then fails to tell a convincing lie three times while also revealing he's trained in the force, Sabine only learns what's going on because the bad guy decides to monologue his entire motivation by chance while she was listening, mean while the location of the rebel base almost lands into the Empire's hands. Sabine then fails to rescue Ezra, manages to loose her captive AGAIN. AS WELL AS LOOSING THE PHANTOM. The plan is then to steal a single jet pack between the two of them and just hope the bad guys have a ship they can steal as they fly through the canyons almost dying multiple times. They only escape with their lives and without loosing the rebel base coordinates to the empire because their captor saves them.

It was not their finest hour.

No.

Now that you mention it, it's rather like the episode with Sabine's bounty hunter friend in that regard - relying on them have the moral high ground in order to sell the character's Heel–Face Turn, but also relying on them making mistakes in order for that face turn to be necessary in the first place.

Where on this are you disagreeing with me? I'm genuinely curious

I think he's agreeing with you that no, it wasn't Ezra and Sabine's finest hour.

Then again, Ezra has been screwing up somewhat more this season after he started getting cocky.

I think it's more, Ezra has more independence now. So more opportunity to screw up. We're seeing him acting in much smaller teams with a lot less oversight.

It doesn't help that the empire is becoming more savvy and his main advantage is being a guile hero.

And now that he looks older, people underestimate him a lot less. Any of the lies he told in the episode would have landed better in series 1.

The most recent episode reminded me of that Star Trek DS 9 episode where a bunch of cadets ended up alone and in charge of a warship. Albeit with a happier ending.

Where can I even watch these? My usual haunts don't have latest episodes, and Youtube wants me to pay per episode. None of that garbage, just let me see it with ads or something grrr.

I'm pretty sure you can watch them on the Disney XD website as long as you have a cable provider. At least that's how I watched them for the first season before I was able to watch them live.
