Good grief! They should've subtitled this Season "The Rise of the Politicians". Man, that would've drawn in droves. Rolling Eyes

Okay okay, to be fair we're just basing our opinion off of the episode summary. Maybe someone just wrote a really boring summary. Could be that it has more going for it and they just didn't mention it. Maybe something spoilerish that can't be hinted to yet.

Hopefully. Confused

I've been pretty disappointed with how they're handling Bail Organa in this show. I liked him in RotS and I wanted to see more of him, but...

I thought this was an alright episode. I like how they showed Padme in an unfavorable light initially, and how a lot of importance was shown on Organa. I also liked the little end scene with Palpatine they had. Still, I'm a little tired of Padme assassination attempts. It's certainly ceased to be entertaining, especially when you know she's not going to die.

I really liked the ominous feel this episode had, similar to the way Episode III felt. Cool

I thought the last scene was overkill though. All subtlety is gone. Not to mention the stale political dialouge... I can understand Senators talking that way when they're in the Senate, but when they meet together in private, it would be nice if they would just talk like normal human beings.

it was a pretty good episode i guess, but is it me or do the police robot things just don't seem star wars.... it might be me

At first, I thought the robo cops seemed out of place as well. All the times I can recall, the security forces on Coruscant have been human. But when I thought about it, it would make sense if they relied heavily on droids to patrol the city since it's the size of the entire planet. That's a lot of territory to cover.
