    well this week's episode was very interesting.

      I wasn't really wowed with it, to be honest. I thought the discussion with the Council was pretty interesting, but aside from that it seemed like a bit of a rehash of that Season 2 ep where they taught the farmers to defend themselves from the bounty hunters.

          Same here. It was a slow start but hopefully it gets more interesting as the arc moves forward.

          Did you not say it is played on ice, O'Neill?

            Trivia notes, from the TCW site!


            5.01 Revival
            Spoiler:
            SUPREME CHANCELLOR REVISITED
            Palpatine's character model has undergone some subtle changes, softening some of the more extreme angles of the earlier look, including changes to the hair, ears, nose, and hands. He is also wearing a new outfit—the same he wears in Episode III when kidnapped by General Grievous.

            JEDI MASTER UPGRADE
            Likewise, Yoda has undergone a model upgrade. The new version has smaller hands, larger feet, smaller ears, and less stylized hair. The main motivation behind these character model changes is a complete upgrade of the facial rig to allow a better performance in the animation.

            ILL-FATED JEDI
            In the prologue footage, there is a scene of Darth Maul and Savage Opress killing the female Twi'lek Jedi (Finn Ertay) and a male Nikto Jedi (as yet unnamed, but based on Master Di's model) at an unidentified spaceport.

            BLUE SNAGGLETOOTH
            The warehouse supervisor was simply described in the script as having a "slight build with a frontier twang." His final design is that of a Snaggletooth-type alien, in a blue jumpsuit with silver boots, the kind made famous by a vintage 1970s Kenner action figure that was included in a Sears exclusive cantina playset.

            HONDO'S TROUBLES
            When talking to Obi-Wan Kenobi via hologram, Hondo Ohnaka says, "First you lose this system and Grievous comes in and destroys my entire stronghold, leaving me here to just rummage through the leftovers of my once great empire!" Though Hondo is prone to exaggeration, Grievous did indeed attack Florrum in a story that has yet to be told (though lucky viewers did get to see it at Celebration VI).

            HIS PRICES ARE INSANE!
            In the background of Hondo's camp is a huge piece of superstructure with the Aurebesh words, "HONDO'S SALVAGE - PRICES SLASHED," stenciled on it.

            WHAT'S A SITH?
            The pirates and the warehouse supervisor all initially mistake the Sith brothers as Jedi. This is to show that the average galactic citizen has no real knowledge of the Sith or that most have never met a Jedi.

            WAREHOUSE OFFICE SPACE
            The warehouse office where Maul and Savage find the credit chip coffer is a re-dress of black marketer Siddiq's office on Mandalore, seen in the third season episode, "Corruption."

            MODIFIED SPACE STATION
            Though the lead deputy droid never gets to complete his sentence, he declares to Maul, "You are trespassing on InterGalactic—," possibly suggesting that the station or its offices may have been the property of the Banking Clan. The warehouse station is a modified re-use of the Quarzite station seen in the fourth season episode, "Bounty."



            5.02 A War on Two Fronts
            Spoiler:
            RETURN OF THAT JEDI
            Though airing after "Revival," the Onderon story arc was originally placed before the events of that episode, as can be seen by a number of production clues. The older Yoda model makes an appearance, and Adi Gallia can be seen sitting on the Jedi Council despite her death. Perhaps it's Stass Allie? The true chronological placement of this episode in relation to "Revival" has yet to be determined...

            AN ANCIENT WORLD
            Onderon is a planet from the Star Wars Expanded Universe. It first appeared in the 1993 Tales of the Jedi comic series set thousands of years in the distant past. In that story, there was an ongoing civil war between the city-dwellers and outcasts living among the beasts of the jungle.

            REBEL MENAGERIE
            Among the native creatures seen in the Onderonian jungle are dalgos, rupings, pikobis, tee-musses, and fambaas.

            THESE EYES
            When Rex is in his rebel disguise, the "jaig eyes" that ordinarily decorate his helmet are now on his chest plate.

            ANAKIN SKYWALKER'S WAR
            The insurgency that Anakin Skywalker creates will grow in the later years to become the Rebel Alliance. One can easily find examples in history of insurgents equipped by a ruling power to fight a proxy war that would later become a source of direct conflict to said ruling power.

            REBEL ROOTS
            The look of the Onderonian rebels are very much inspired by early Nilo Rodis-Jamero designs for Rebel troopers and commandos in Return of the Jedi.

            FAMILIAR. MOST FAMILIAR.
            Anakin's critique of Steela's sharpshooting is a direct quote of something he later says as Darth Vader in The Empire Strikes Back: "Impressive. Most impressive."

            KEEPERS OF THE PEACE, NOT SOLDIERS
            Obi-Wan's reminder to Anakin of their mandate on Onderon is also an echo of dialogue from the feature films. "We can only protect them. We cannot fight this war for them," is very similar to how Qui-Gon Jinn described his role as protector to Queen Amidala during the Battle of Naboo.

            HUNTER HOARDERS
            Among the mishmash of items on the rebel hunter cart are Trandoshan axes, a bantha skull, an eopie saddle, a Wookiee bowcaster, a dewback skin rug, and gundark ears on a ring. The cart itself is a modified Mandalorian transport.

                        5.03 Front Runners Trivia
                        Spoiler:

                        ETLA: Extended Three-Letter Acronym

                        The script refers to the explosives the insurgents use as IEMD -- improvised electromagnetic devices.

                        Onderonian Ride

                        A popular landspeeder design seen in Iziz matches the shape and lines of the airspeeder used by Bail Organa in Revenge of the Sith, which in turn resembles the yellow speeder used by Anakin Skywalker in Attack of the Clones. Art by Russell Chong and Kilian Plunkett.

                        Dono's 'Do

                        Dono, a female rebel seen briefly in "A War on Two Fronts," has a larger role in this episode as she drives the speeder used to block off the street during the insurgent attack. Her character model features a reuse of Boba Fett's long hair from Season Two. Dono's name derives from longtime Lucasfilm Animation staffer Kris Donovan. Artwork by David Le Merrer, Kilian Plunkett and Darren Marshall.

                        When In Rome

                        As is evident in this episode, the design of Iziz draws heavily from ancient Rome. King Sanjay Rash's design heavily features Roman influences, including a headband that suggests gilded laurel leaves at his temples.

                        Falumpaset Fountain

                        The fountain in the center of the plaza depicts an Onderonian guard on dalgo-back, atop a pedestal of water-spewing falumpasets. Artwork by Wayne Lo.

                        Okalin's Origins

                        Okalin, the aide to the king, is the same species as Dr. Sionver Boll, the well-intentioned but shortsighted scientist from the Zillo Beast episodes in Season Two. Okalin is named for The Clone Wars episodic director Brian Kalin O'Connell. Artwork by JP Balmet.

                        Floating Watchtower

                        The droid watchtower seen in Iziz resembles a similar platform used by Rebel sentries on Yavin 4 in A New Hope, except these are elevated by repulsorlift technology as opposed to mounted on a physical stalk. Artwork by JP Balmet.

                        Portrait of the Monarch as a Young Man

                        Among the paintings hanging in the throne room of Iziz is a portrait of King Dendup from his younger days. Painting by Kilian Plunkett.

                          This trivia is great, I like this current arc going on plus its great to see Anakin wearing actual Jedi robes.

                          I'm still puzzled if the Jedi killed by Savage in "Revival" was Adi Galla or not. I sure don't remember her being dead at the time of Episode III, or maybe I'm thinking of Stass Allie...

                            It was Adi Gallia. You're right that she was originally killed in Star Wars: Obsession which is set just before Episode III, but Revival overrides that. Her appearance in that comic is now considered non-cannonical.
                            Meh...

                              Man, I've grown to absolutely adore this show but loathe when it overrides pre-existing EU material(especially the comics and as I think the Dark Horse comics are some of the best Star Wars stories out there in addition to the original CW cartoon). Such as Even Piell surviving Order 66 and being killed by Stormtroopers in the novel Jedi Twilight.
