I'm glad that Hemlock is competent enough to send fighters to escort, do crew scans and even send multiple waves of scouts, vessels etc. A good villain makes a great episode.

[@buddhazskitz0]

Right? He must’ve trained with Grand Admiral Thrawn for a while

[@leventeszaffenauer4142]

basic protocol... xd

[@DanielSolis]

It's such a low bar in the Empire. 😅

[@topaznnani4003]

​@@buddhazskitz0 Wdym? Thats the opposite of what Thrawn did in ashoka

[@HyperKilljoy112]

@@topaznnani4003key word trained, but at the same time there were many Imperials that were super cautious and didn’t over look their opponents.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

I loved rampart's performance in this episode. He was so shocked, and scared by everything.

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

My only complaint is I feel like the episode have been very short lately hopefully we get a long finale kinda like the first episode of season 1.

[@CosmicAlpha101]

I mean they gotta cause I have no idea how they’ll finish with 25 mins there is way to much to finish

[@nicholasgarrick8855]

​​@@CosmicAlpha101Same i just hope wrap all the story nicely but either way I'm gutted as it's the end of a fantastic series.

[@patricksocha6930]

I think the finale is going to be a 2 part-er, because I believe there's supposed to be 16 episodes.

[@austinking5092]

Genuinely love that we've seen this mini zillow beast saga over the course of years and 2 series

[@user-jq5ez5ge2j]

for real

[@ChawkletStudios]

Yea but part of me feels.. again? Another zillo beast rampage?

[@jomeotrashgod1098]

@ChawkletStudios I mean it makes sense to me we saw the empire take the cloned pillow beast if they didn't do it this season it would be a loose end

[@ChawkletStudios]

@@jomeotrashgod1098 weak writing

[@Jezee213]

It's gonna be nice to see how the first Zillo episode connects and see how it ends.

[@erinfilbert9462]

I'm seeing Tantiss undergoing a "When dinosaurs ruled the Earth" moment.

[@StufussMcGonagall]

The Zillo Beast is definitely turning Tantiss into Coruscant 2.0 😂

[@timberIII]

2:41 The tiles are all colours of the children. Red, yellow (white), blue, green, grey

[@RyanHaney55]

My prediction for the finale is something sad followed by something happy, then a sad realization during the credits that we won't get to hear Dee Bradley Baker and Michelle Ang play these characters anymore.

[@patricko887]

Omega releasing the Zilo Beast would be like Loki reviving Surtr in the eternal flame.

[@dylankoch1757]

Me when I realize that there's at least one Zillo Beast and at least one Mythosaur alive in the galaxy at the same time: "Let them fight"

[@TheAdvancedKnine]

I’ve loved this season

[@kirank287]

Same!

[@technicolour7619]

i thought rampart's screech is the 21'st century's Wilhelm scream. Please put it it everything.

[@TreadwellJay]

The Die Hard footage stuttered because it was ripped interlaced with the field order reversed. Ripping with that unchecked, or in Progressive, prevents that. Thanks for the video!

[@Koopaperson]

Ngl I kinda hope tech doesn’t come back. It would make his death so much less impactful (but he is absolutely the assassin clone)

[@GunnarTobus]

This is exactly how I’m feeling lol.

[@mikeljackson9192]

correct.

[@negus6383]

Tech is dead

[@TimDaco]

Agreed.

[@JKvlog3rZz1]

I wanted him to come back earlier in the season but with one episode left it would feel rushed if they want him to survive

[@AirDave15]

5:33 best monologue in all of Star Wars

Either I just know I’m gonna be so crushed when it’s a over

[@dianataylor9783]

The Dryax reminds of the Bandersnatch in Alice in Wonderland.

The Zillo Beast making another appearance was unexpected

[@ichigen511]

Agree 100% that sick move with the Millenium Falcon in Ep VII was dope!

I have a feeling Hemlock will get eaten by the Zillo Beast.

This is gonna be the series finale and I just feel like they have not given themselves the time to resolve all of these plot threads

The ZILLO!!

Why did we learn basically nothing this ep like what does the finale hold??

[@vipe650r]

I kind of have to agree. It felt like tons happened and nothing happened at the same time.

[@scorpiusbalthazar4327]

This is very minor, but I didn't like how the name of the episode was Flash Strike and they didn't do any striking. In fact, they were constantly on the defensive. Some strike!

[@Grimerpr2016]

one thing i'm surprised they've never cameod , or person rather, is boba fett.

How long have you been back

[@colincrooks3307]

A Zillo Beast, what a surprise. I’ve only been saying it’s a Zillo since the second you said it was a Mythosaur. I’m curious how you got stuck on a Mythosaur when it was established in Clone Wars just how badly Sidious wants a Zillo?

[@maxcabrera5029]

Could the use the zilobeast to make the Death Star beam?

[@juju-madness1614]

Crazy they cloned the Zillow beast from clone wars

[@benhenderson8952]

This felt like it could’ve been the 2nd episode of this supposed last season; where we can begin to unveil how Tantis is like a SCP holding-cell of a planet/station conducting cruel scientific experiments. E.g. The Zillo Beast we get to now see 🙄

[@SirsasthNigam.]

[@mathiaswalker350]

No. The death star laser operates on kyber crystals like a lightsabre. These lasers seem more electric.

[@mpdesousa]

is there going to be another season?

[@kirank287]

No

[@erikabutler6893]

About Rampart, I think his imprisonment was actually on the up and up. He was arrested in front of the whole Senate, so he probably had the due process rights you’d see in a democracy. He was serving a sentence of hard labor likely handed down by a court that tried him fairly for his crimes. Considering the infamy of his crime; the highly publicized nature of his arrest, trial and imprisonment; and Palpatine still concerned with how things may look to the Senate when they are aware of an issue, there is no way he’s getting a pardon or commutation of his sentence. This means the Empire has nothing to offer him, and I do believe Rampart understands that. Rampart seemed cowardly in this past episode, but to be fair he was way out of his element and unarmed and with a bunch of guys he didn’t get along with. On the other hand, if there is any sort of negotiation, I think Rampart will be much more in his element due to being a social expert.

[@spiderwraith0]

i cant wait to sit back and laugh as the majority of the star wars community collectively realizes that tech is not in fact the clone assassin

[@epicgamerlegend6159]

I really hope not. Honestly kind of feels like there not going to resolve that plot at all

[@juhjaybrums1119]

Maybe I’m too much of a Darth Vader Stan, but I think he’s going to make an appearance at the end in a Rogue One-esque finale. In an effort to save Omega and possibly the rest of the kids, they’ll put their lives on the line against their formal general, not even knowing who he is; but he knows who they are.

[@empireofengland6039]

Gendelf better stand for Ahsoka

[@basketballfan23]

[@eddieg.9568]

Sad this shownis ending, could have used one more season. I hope the finale does it justice.

[@MonochromeWench]

A few more days till the years long zillo beast saga concludes. Clone Wars started it but then did nothing so it is up to the Spin off to finish it.

[@LyzeofQill]

I hope ventress shows up and helps them escape

[@mglewis20]

Is Crosshair going to go Winter soldier next episode?? They showed his inhibitor chip in season 1 and said it didn’t activate, plus his tremors from the experiments on tantis. It would be the perfect heartbreaking twist after his redemption this season.

[@katmon9757]

I’ve been saying that to my brother. I think if there’s one character it’s him. Also I think if they would kill off anyone this season, it’s gonna be Crosshair.

[@losingit2k]

Prediction: Children will Escape, Silo Beast will be let loose, Good People will die on both sides. Ahsoka will come out of nowhere to save the day! All praise Feloni!
