I love that Wim wasn't called a Jedi when he picked up the lightsaber, but when he saved someone's life.

[@geronimojones]

Missed opportunity if the writers forget to include a Wim line at the end of the series along the lines of “There’s at least one thing you didn’t lie about. You are no Jedi.”

“Thanks, Jedi” was such a great moment

[@applefanatic414]

One thing that was not on my bingo card for this show was genuinely great representation for people with disabilities. That line about Fern not understanding that KB can’t do certain things hits hard and is very relatable.

[@GedUK]

But also that Fern is *trying* to be supportive by constantly saying 'you can do it/do anything!', without actually realising that no, KB (and Neel) can't.

[@c.lvr2602]

@@GedUK It's why I have an issue with the term "differently abled" because it's just not true. My best friend was disabled (he died last year), he wasn't "differently abled" because that implies he can do things that able bodied people can't. He couldn't walk, near the end of his life he couldn't even talk or breathe without a respirator. True representation is like this episode - being honest that people with disabilities just CAN'T do certain things.

the large crab (nicknamed Tet'niss on account of how many of the artists got pricked by its shell) was stop motion, with Phil Tippet leading the ILM team to animate it.

[@jackson857]

Tak Rennod said on the hologram in the previous episode that he had the ship clad in armour.

[@JozannaHanawalt487]

The Onyx Cinder shedding it’s hull to reveal its true appearance Is one of the more awe-inspiring sequences in any of the Disney-era Star Wars projects, up there with the Eye of Aldahni and Fondor escapes from Andor and the Holdo maneuver from TLJ.

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

The Eye of Sion rising in Ahsoka was also pretty majestic

[@zephyr835]

@HotDogTimeMachine385 As a less dramatic example, and not focused on a ship, I'd say the whole purrgil sequence at the end of Shadow Warrior.

[@SraMacaco]

Jod was holding the wrong side of his knife against Fern’s neck as though he only wanted to scare her, but didn’t actually want to hurt her.

[@Jim_The_Fish]

I see where you’re going, but I’m pretty sure either side of that blade would’ve killed her

[@chaost4544]

The blade looked like it was double edged.

[@c.lvr2602]

Gotta love Eric talking about how there should be a model of the Onyx Cinder that detaches its hull as if he'd ever even know what that would look like since he'd never take it out of the box 😅

[@VeritasMCMXCII]

If buy two just to play with one 😂😂

[@lplegend]

this is funnier than you think lmao

[@FireQueenMyra]

KB saying thanks Jedi to Wim was very touching because he saved her life not caused he held a lightsaber

Crab parrots are an interesting idea. "Oh! These guys are locals, let's follow them!" Imagine doing that with parrots just mimicking you haha.

Double hull allows escape from tractor beam when blown

[@njebei]

I just finished episode 7 and somehow this show gets better and better. Kids will be watching this series forever -- it's almost too bad they didn't cut it down and do a theater release in December because this show deserves more exposure. Can't wait to see your reaction the rest of the way.

[@tbirdguy1]

Somebody give Bryce a full series to do please. Of all of the directors she's the one who consistently nails the tone and feel of a 'Star Wars' adventure with the actors and their performances. Her shot selection, scene set up, and 'eye' is just pitch perfect every time she gets in the chair.

[@LaCheeserie]

Or if they wise up and put a quality script for a full feature set outside the Skywalker era, she would crush it

[@fletch3538]

Yeah . I think it’s a great tractor beam defense . To be able to slip away while the hull is still captured by the beam

[@balletabela]

I love how Aaron predicted the giant trash crab and Calvin knew the best friend plot 😂I think the school rooftop gun will come into play at At Attin when the pirates come. Maybe Jod will appologize like what Neel said to do.

[@PAULOSOUSADIAS]

Tak Rennod did say that he'd added armour to his ship before heading to At Attin (in the holographic message). I assume that that's what was jettisoned in this episode.

[@promythical2023]

I ADORE the mama crab, Tet’niss, and I was thrilled to find out she was brought to life with stop-motion, she looked incredible!

[@HaydenWerren]

Am I the only one who thinks Bryce Dallas Howard deserves a SW movie of her own? Her brilliance and vision deserves recognition.

[@Kandy_chills]

No alot of people keep saying it lol

[@astrowebs410]

You're not. There are t-shirts you can buy that say "Directed by Bryce Dallas Howard" on them in the style of Star Wars credits. Hell, Adam at Heroes Reforged wears one oftentimes when they do Star Wars videos. So someone's definitely thinking about that.

[@PeverellTheThird]

She is getting recognition

[@prathapkutty7407]

Makes me wonder why universal never hired her to direct a Jurassic movie instead of acting in them.

[@prathapkutty7407]

I would be very happy if she got to direct the next star Wars trilogy.

[@jamesfoster9613]

I love that the script originally had the Rennod shanty as just a poem and Jude Law we t to Bryce Dallas Howard and was like, "Shouldn't I sing this like a pirate?" And BDH was like, "...uh yes famous actor Jude Law we would like that very much." Lol

[@serinthia]

I was mulling over KB's accident for awhile. Whatever it was probably resulted in a hard impact to the back of her head that probably destroyed her cerebellum and oxcipial lobe at the least. One responsible for movement, one for visual processing, and both in the back of the human head. Her augs likely serve a dual purpose of communicating between her brain and her spine, and help her with visual recognition...which does kinda make me wonder what she sees when the visor is up as opposed to down. I'm wondering too if the accident involved speeder bike racing, which she and Fern both seem to be in to.

[@alexdavis-mann8513]

I'd say she meet fern after the accident because she says zero friends again, implying she didn't have any friends after the accident

[@HotDogTimeMachine385]

KB's disability was really nice to see for representation. And we see more of how augs work in SW. And we had a fantastic scene. win-win-win. And Wim.

[@cyradus]

The giant crab was a stop motion puppet and was created by the same guy who made the Rancor in RotJ. (Phil Tippet)

[@b3yourself91]

“On a garbage truck” you weren’t wrong lol

[@benjaminportilla9297]

I'm loving how consistent the set-up --> payoff is with this series. Wim's failure with the lightsaber but then being called a Jedi when he saves someone, KB having issues foreshadowed earlier, the kids each knowing how to get the ship to take off and fight after each had earlier experiences working different systems, Rennod mentioning the ship class in armor and then the hull demolition sequencer jettisoning the armor and extra weapons and engines. This show is so good. The tropes and themes are all there but it's all executed so well. I just love it!

[@ras_alhim]

The giant crab being stop motion is so incredibly cool

[@PhoenixJesterGaming]

This show is truly something really good. Im surprised how much i enjoyed it from the start. If we don't get more of this show, I at least hope the child actors get casted in more stuff cause they're all really good. They all bring something to the show. Phenomenal all around. 😁👍🏼

[@AlternativeIce]

Excited to see you guys getting caught up, so hyped for episode 7!

[@rhaenatargaryen8061]

I really loved this episode tbh. was great finally getting KB development, and the ship shedding its armor was such a cool visual

[@shadowcat1606]

That crab IS stop-motion (and they seem to be using that a lot, along with other practical effects and things like matte paintings, just like in the OT). And not just that, it was done by Phil Tippett, who has been with Lucas and ILM since the Original Trilogy. He also did, amongst other things, the tauntauns and AT-ATs in Ep5 and he won an Oscar for his work on Ep6.

[@jaealxndr]

Just finished episode 5. Good timing

[@jordanwhite1547]

lol same

[@thedarkknight2221]

My heart keeps melting for these kids. I still wish we knew what KB’s accident was, and apparently her cybernetics help her autonomic nervous system, but seeing how she fights through her disability is so inspiring. And her friendship with Fern is beautiful.

[@muhammadhabibieamiro3639]

Episode 6 what a surprise to be sure but a welcome one

[@terririnella4032]

i know the song was supposed to be a Pirate Shanty but it sounds (musically) like the Dwarf's song about the Misty Mountain countdown to the mailbag when someone sends the guys the Plasma Hourglass, i would buy one for myself

[@mark2graves-movies689]

19:08 great reference to Muppets Christmas Carol 🎉

[@kkinnick]

Eric mentions wanting to see a Haslab release of Onyx Cinder, with a hull you can remove. I also see that in LEGO… yes, a very expensive LEGO model. 😎

[@moodswinggaming2972]

I absolutely love the new Onyx Cinder, its so dope. My very first initial reaction to it was that it reminded me of the Normandy. The Normandy is my favorite ship ever. I will get the lego set of this when it drops xD

[@thedarkknight2221]

So the giant crab was actually a fully physical stop motion figure and the animators at Tippett Studio named it Tet’niss because of all the sharp spiky protrusions that kept stabbing the animators.😂

[@VeritasMCMXCII]

Bryce Dallas Howard always delivers 👏🏼 👏🏼

[@j-train13]

5:00 AARON YOU MONSTER, YOU DID THIS

[@cd5sircoupe]

3:11 The Porsche collab S-91x Pegasus on the left of the Onyx Cinder on the landing pad. Literally NO ONE caught this that I've seen, and it's been over a week. I just checked again to be completely sure and that is the exact ship, nice easter egg if you ask me. 18:40ish Dude... that's Jod aka Silvo's original crew, Brutus mutinied because everyone was pissed they weren't getting paid and so they went along with it. I don't think there's a whole lot of deep loyalty going on here, and clearly there's a reason Silvo was captain in the first place right? 20:10 Ok I have to. Tak Rennod specifically said the ship got additional armor ahead of the expedition to At Attin in the hologram from the last episode. We didn't exactly know what that meant until this one of course.

[@mattbouman6086]

Thats cool man!

[@anthonyramos9232]

And just like that KB might be my favorite character of this show, seems Jod has his stay of Execution for now but can he deliver? the Onyx Cinder is full of surprises

[@terririnella4032]

i hope the crab with the droid leg is carrying C3P0's original leg

[@bongiwongi5714]

I was rather intrigued by the hints of former separatist council remnants the banking clan and the techno union having meetings post empire maybe even with the hutts... like id imagine they'd be scheming how to "integrate" with the new republic... which may also hint at the potential corruption and lack of authority that leads to the rise of the new order... Love me some separatist lore :)

[@bongiwongi5714]

Oh speaking of the prequels I was getting hints from the Onyx Cinder that the navigation systems were similar to padmé's nubian cruiser and I was reminded again with the reveal of the chrome aesthetic under the armour

[@gbozzi05_]

Huh.. i didn’t got that. They definitely seem to be setting up something related to former Separatists. First that separatist loyalists in The Mandalorian, now the Banking Clan.

[@abthedragon4921]

I like that we got to learn more on KB here because while I like her character, I feel she's a bit neglected compared to the rest of the main cast. I really like her story and how it balances how her disability affects her, but it doesn't mean she's less of a person.

[@celticwolff5429]

@07:19 Remember folks. Even if your child has an accident, Aaron says don't give them any lifesaving technology.

[@yetibeardson1168]

Yeah he didn't say that haha. I think he just didn't realize when he said that that she had them out of necessity.

[@celticwolff5429]

@@yetibeardson1168 So he thought a 12-year-old got modifications for "funsies?" And he said, "That's why you don't do mods." That is a blanket statement with no qualifiers.

[@wakaflockachewbacca6577]

Bryce Dallas Howard never misses! Every Star Wars episode she directs is amazing. At this point I wouldn’t mind having her direct a Star Wars movie.

[@Mertaranta]

The sleeker Onyx Cynder looked a bit like The Mantis from Starfield.

[@marcusrouls7472]

What I find hilarious is no one has noticed that Neel wears that exact same outfit as Stewie from Family Guy.

[@OrionInSpace]

This was the first episode where I felt while it progressed character relationships and their development, I didn't think the story was progressed too much in the sense that it could've fit better story wise with the last episode had they been combined. EP7 we get a lot more though!

[@johannesbowers7467]

Speaking of "Checkov's Button", Remember the button on the bridge that SM33 said "Never EVER touch that"? The "Emergency hull demolition sequencer" is NOT some self destruct but an explosive hull armor purge🤘😎👍 I guaranteed that under all the extra armoring is a much sleeker pirate raider! Active Armor Ablative Skin! False Hull Ejection! Called it! Another Legends callback revisited. Huzzah. Just like we see the true face of the Onyx Cinder, we see the true face of KB and her reliance on the Augs that keep her alive. There is value in both approaches to acknowledging her condition... both to be aware of the factual limitations and valid concerns as well as to allow for the ability to be treated "normally". KB may be introverted (especially compared to Fern) but she is no fragile wilting flower either. There is nothing wrong with wanting to be accepted and not treated differently, just as there is nothing wrong with understanding and being willing to confront the things that differentiate us. Everybody has baggage, and not everyone is equipped with convenient rollers.🥺👌 Uh, yeah. If the people of At Attin have been isolated since the Old Republic (or even the High Republic) they would not know Xwings. The closest thing they could be familliar with would be the Z95 Headhunters that were in use by planetary defense and raider fleets alike for centuries before the fall of the Republic and rise of the Empire... so generally non-denominational. 🤔

[@KMM-kx2yn]

WHEN WILL THEY GIVE BDH HER OWN STAR WARS MOVIE.?

[@YodatheHobbit]

A bit surprised you guys didn't mention being able to relate to KB that much.

[@yetibeardson1168]

The only thing that I don't actually like in this show is Brutus' voice. They did a terrible job at making it seem like it actually comes out of that character. The whole scene where he drags Jod and makes him look out the airlock window the audio for his voice is terrible. Sounds like it's just coming from everywhere instead of actually where that character is.

[@jasonsacchi]
