What I Liked
1. I do like these clone assassins that the Empire is using. They are literally programmed to be an assassin, to be deadly, to be the best of the best. The one we see in this episode shows how badass he is by sneaking onto a ship to download the location of the Batch.
2. The assassin arrives at the spot where The Batch is located, and immediately Hunter gets a sense of something he doesn’t like. This shows how powerful his sense and ability truly are. The assassin shoots a few bombs onto the Maruader just as Wrecker is about to get onto it, luckily he survives but is wounded.
3. I will always like just how ruthless the Empire actually is. They know the Batch is in this city so when the Empire arrives they immediately take control and destroy any ship and sea boat they see to make sure the Batch doesn’t manage to escape.
4. What a scene this was. Hunter sneaks through taking down multiple stormtroopers and begins to hijack a ship. The stormtrooper radios into the clone assassin to inform him. This shows how brutal this assassin is. Instead of shooting the ship or telling more to go after it, he straight-up shoots the pilot.
What I Disliked
Nothing to report.
Favorite Moment
My favorite moment would be Omega creating a plan, she gives herself up, while the Empire leaves this planet. Crosshair is supposed to take a shot. When he is about to do it, some stormtroopers spot him. Crosshair manages to shoot the tracker but misses causing them to lose Omega once again.
Standout Character
Honestly, I’m giving it to the clone assassin. While he did fail earlier in the season, this was his last chance. He came down, messed up the Batch, and captured Omega.
Verdict
A much better episode than the previous one today. This episode was action-packed and once again this was an episode that showcased the wrath, ruthlessness, and power of the Empire and this wasn’t even all of it. A great episode.
