|thoughts = OK! I think they really stuck the landing here. The beginning of the series nailed the "domestic Earthy suburbs" feel, then we've been on a Star Wars adventure through space, and now this episode smashes them together in a satisfying way, with the kids believably putting their new skills to use fast since they're the only ones who understand what's going on. | |thoughts = OK!

So Jod was neither an Order 66-fleeing padawan nor a faker, but a "Dark Times" padawan like [[Ezra Bridger]], but for whom things didn't turn out so well. | So Jod was neither an Order 66-fleeing padawan nor a faker, but a "Dark Times" padawan like [[Ezra Bridger]], but for whom things didn't turn out so well. So... is Jod the closest thing we have to an anti-Han Solo figure? Han Solo starts off a rough character with uncertain loyalties looking for pay and reward money, but it turned out he has a soft spot for his friends and helping the little guy. With Jod we were introduced to a down-on-his-luck failed pirate apparently helping some kids in their adventure so he can find his way to a lost treasure... but when push came to shove the kids were just a means to an end, that he was willing to threaten and endanger for his own enrichment. | ||
So the Supervisor was much like a Fallout Overseer. Not in that they were intentionally playing tricks on the populace or anything, but they were a droid who didn't even really understand what was going on either. Apparently the last thing At Attin heard from the Republic was about the Jedi being traitors, so end of Clone Wars times. Did the Republic/Empire just lose track of them? Maybe they were really out of touch for much longer (as with the other At planet that had fallen on hard hard times), but were only receiving wide broadcasts going out to everyone? Though in that case I'd still have expected them to hear a little something new in the last 30+ years. | So the Supervisor was much like a Fallout Overseer.
