They totally Winter Soldier-ed Crosshair! Those Imperial bastards! Tarkin remains so much fun to hate, even after all these years. And the tragedy of watching Crosshair succumb to the inhibitor programming was really effective. I do find it interesting that the chips seem to have made the clones much less independent after Order 66 and much more susceptible to the Imperial changeover. That explains why so many go along without a fuss.
I love Echo. I really don't have anything else to add, there. Just so good to get more story from this character. I know it's a long shot, but I really want him to find out what happened to Fives and get some reaction there. Maybe if/when 99 find Rex.
Some fantastic tie ins in this episode. Caleb Dume onscreen was wonderful, as was finally witnessing the key moment in the origin of Kanan. And Saw is basically the first rebel. From one war to another. We knew this about him, of course. But his anger at the birth of the Empire is so raw here. Really well played by the voice actor. Was this the same actor that did Saw in The Clone Wars?
So, Omega is the final member of Clone Force 99. From Tech's dialogue, it sounds like she is, in fact, a Jango Fett clone. though that is far from confirmed, I suppose. I wonder if she was intentionally modified or if she is also a "defective" mutation. From the ending of the episode I got a Taskmaster vibe, as in she can mimic what she sees. It might not be a literal superpower, but they specifically made a point of Tech saying that she may be hyper-perceptive. So she shoots like Crosshair and it sure looks like she was picking up how to pilot the ship from watching Tech. Maybe it's less copying others and just a really fast form of learning. Either way, she clearly has a secret, as Nala Se helped her in particular escape. Very interested to see where that goes.
Also, and just for a pure starship nerd out moment, I literally whooped at V-Wings. I want to see them shoot something, darn it! I love those designs. I wonder how long before we see our first TIE fighter?
