I just love how human these characters feel. They're always under a mask, but they're so memorable. I felt bad for TK-FNG when he admitted he lost everyone in his missions and chokes up a little. He saves it until they're down there to be vulnerable when it's just them, and it's heartwarming how TK-FKU calls him son despite how much annoyed him. Sounds like you're really watching a story about a guy who's just seen it all and tried hard to not break because of it. Puts on a strong exterior, and in the end, he's willing to empathize and remind his troops he cares. I think having them all in a mask puts a lot of that into perspective. Doesn't matter that they all look the same or just have assigned code names instead of real names, they're still human (or whatever race they are but you get the point).

Nobody would actually care, and if it was any other gaurd they would pay it no mind. Only sarge is nerdy enough to know, and versed in history to care to tell him 'thats the wrong weapon' even if it was just him venting at a stranger Steller work guys!

That was the moment that made me realise how messed up that planet is. They display the tallest mountain’s tip, just to show off how tall their cities are. An amazing allegory of pride. It is more important to those who had the city built, that they are seen as powerful and influential than it is to care about life. Of course they don’t want tourists seeing the bottom of the city. Because people will see the absence of life and realises the city is its coffin.

"I know son, I have been keeping tabs on you". That line is enough to make anyone shed a few tears. Even though they have all been separated, and hit was going through a tough time, he still wanted to lookout for his buddy. Regardless of being part of the Empire or Rebellion, it shows that we really do need each other.

If this was 10 years ago, I'd say imagine Dave Feloni getting his hands on these characters for an animated series. However sadly the main franchise is dead in the water for the forseeable future. So little things like these videos are refreshing and reminder of what was. :)

@@jacobpickens2283 I would argue that he never did. At least, my first exposure to his work was the Clone Wars cartoon, and that was so anti-stakes that it actually helped take the wind out of my sails about Star Wars even after years of being the most die-hard fan.

this hit home reminds me of my husband talking to his father both combat veterans from different times both reflecting on lost brothers-in-arms. I see the pain in both their eyes but i’m glad my husband’s father is still around and both are teaching our son that there’s no shame in feelings. Don’t forget anything always hold it in your heart and don’t let it destroy you.

Amazing as always, this is my new favorite star wars series, I get the feeling FKU is not going to desert as they keep hinting at possibly happening, but stays simply to destroy the Empire from the inside, I think he lost someone close before under him which must be what broke his faith in it, possibly a real son, and TNG reminds him of that person he lost or conects with him because he is not a blind fool like the rest willing to die for the Empire, he is just a dumb kid that does not even know why he joined.
