Starfleet Jedi

Not as exciting as the TFA movie trailer, But SWR season 2 trailer is here too:

Not at all surprised to see Rex, even before TCW ended I had theories brewing that he wouldn't be an Imperial after Order 66. Not thrilled about the continued accelerated aging for the clones though, but not surprised. Maybe I am remembering wrong, but I thought that real world growth acceleration in livestock didn't result in halving the lifespan. But again, maybe I am misremembering, and I suppose the Kaminoans didn't care, most were probably supposed to die in combat anyway.

Also, I am not falling for the new fem-quisitor's appearance. I have long suspected Ventress is part of "Fulcrum," especially after hearing the peculiar diction from of one of the smooth-hooded transmissions. That's one surprise that won't surprise me. Unless I'm wrong....

Aren't most attempted clones thus far hit by something similar to progeria, with accelerated cell degradation?

That was such TCW fan-service, I feel like I am Dave Filoni's sexual man-servant.

And I like it.

Still, A-wings and B-wings? Too soon. Contradicts Blade Squadron IIRC.

Hmmmm, some interesting developments.

Also interesting is that it looks like @ 0:27 there are still some of the Republic assault ships (Acclamators in ICS-speak) still around, which is a nice touch since it means that the Empire does not just throw away ships after a decade or so of use and go with all new designs. It is also a possible indicator that the Empire cannot afford to throw away older ships willy-nilly as they don't have the resources to quickly replace them as many Star Wars inflationists would like everyone to believe.

I guess these ships simply still work and carry a hell lot of prestige, which is also a way to keep the Empire's legitimacy up.

As for the clones in the walker, they looked like three old ga... men living together in a tight place in the middle of nowhere.

I feel... uncomfortable.

Yeah, I did a double take on those A-wings. I am glad to see old CW era equipment floating around, especially in the hands of the rebels. It just makes sense. I can see where they didn't want to restrict themselves too much, but I was disappointed by the overall lack of OT ships in the PT. I think the Tantive IV was it. It took the CW series to finally show us the Y-wing in it's prime.
