Honestly, another good episode.

Jod makes the perfect fit with the kids and the droid. Damn Wim thinking he was a jedi for most of the episode, and he was like, lets role with that :mjlol:. Though his mention that he is just like them could be, he was a youngling that survived order 66. KB might be the only one of them that can voice their opinion somewhat against him. Fern is all talk because she just wants to pilot or shoot from the gunner. Has a bit of that A New Hope Han Solo where he is cocky, but knows to be flexible to stay alive. I am curious of the name Captain Jack.

The fact that the kids don't know Alderaan was great to show how isolated their home is, plus. Everyone has seen the OG Star Wars, so they pick that up on that. Though it is more than likely the supervisor just going to be like if they went past the barrier, there is nothing we can do. Makes me wonder how the parents were to handle that news coming back.

Good chemistry.

Love the design of the robot.

im hoping the secret of the planet isn’t something connected to any lore. Just build up its own thing.

SM-33 is the best character in this.

That wolf pirate reminds me of Goldar from Power Rangers

I like it so far.
  • The biggest interest thing is the kids' home planet. It being mentioned as a myth makes me wonder why it is so isolated. It did seem it was under strict regulation.
  • From the kids' side, it's a kids adventure. But with them getting involved with pirates is perhaps showing that the outside world is cruler then Wim realizes. Also, Fern is the other kid who prob gets the most focus.
  • We're getting a focus on pirates which is actual a bit of Star Wars that in terms of Shows & Films we haven't gotten outside of episodes in Clone Wars & Rebels. (Not sure if also in Bad Batch since I have only seen S1.)
  • Droid had me rolling at times.
Honestly, after the mess that Actolyte was, this could be a fun show.
Honestly i'm feeling the acolyte more than this show so far.

Yeah, I wasn't thinking about it until you mentioned it, but that's one of the worst things about the show.

I actually enjoy the show a lot scene to scene...but I'm still having a lot of trouble getting around the blatant "80's movie" stereotypes all over the place.

They flipped the tropes and made her the adventurous-leader type...and Wim is the airhead. Edgy, "progressive", whatever. :unimpressed:


Those two could fall out of an airlock and leave KB and Neel and things would be just fine. Jod Na, SM-33(the pirate Smee nod here is funny for some reason) and Kh'ymm are the real standouts.

She acts just like.......a bratty little girl aka Han Solo.

Not sure what's wrong with the planet being suburban. Just like in many 80s movies,that environment is used as a device for troubled in paradise. Suburbia is inefficient, panoptic. and lures people into a false comfortability. To trrr ally appropriate use case for what is going on.

I like her Fern because sometimes Wim gets lost in the fantasy of becoming a Jedi and she brings him back to reality at the right moments. She's obnoxious and bossy but the other kids aren't afraid to call her out either. K-B and Neal are the most logical and mature out of the four.

That suburban society is definitely hiding something. Wims dad looked like he was contemplating shaking things up

The problem (for me) is that there's NO logical reason it specifically looks like "movie land USA" 1980's Suburbs. What's the reason why an alien world has almost exact matches to a culture that just happens to be familiar to the target demographics of the parents watching this show?

Putting little baskets on the hover bikes like that just rubs me the wrong way.

I don't really mind anything of the universe we've see OFF the planet, though :yeshrug:.
Plus I do have to admit I'm kind of interested in the hidden dark "twist" we all know will come about the planet. I still suspect that the "Supervisor" is an AI that has secretly enslaved the biological humanoid population by keeping them in what it considers to be an 'ideal' world.

Alright, this episode made me a fan of Neel. He was a real one this episode :salute:.Tbh the conflict on the planet was kind of whatever, but Neel's thoughts on the conflicts were interesting as it showed how one in a peaceful society would examine what one that is constantly at war. Plus him giving out food is another example that I liked.

So apparently there are a bunch of planets which names start with At. Given the fact that only At Attan remains, and the information is found in what looked like the supervisor's building in At Attan makes me think the supervisor is connected in some way. The big thing I want to know is why and how these planets were able to stay isolated. Also, why does the planet the kids went to looked like At Attan. It is like the planets were made as the same original, but that doesn't sound right.

Jod's line of just shoot me had me rolling :dead:. Also, Wim getting mad at Jod for taking his money even though it was what saved made me remember how thankless kids can be at times. Though I did like Fern breaking down, kind of shows she realizes the situation they are in now.

So I’m going to guess the Supervisor on their home planet got the other planets destroyed. Probably hired pirates to do it then JokerTDK them.

The previous captain must be out there and escaped but the ship crashed on his way back to the planet.

The themes of this ep were cool but the actual execution was dumb. Like if these 9 planets are so long lost as to be forgotten, who are these people at war?
