Maybe Dave Filoni convinced him to change his mind?

Supposedly there are two recurring characters who will appear in this arc:

That's ominous foreshadowing given what we found out today about Disney acquiring LucasArts.

On topic, I thought the Onderon arc was alright, but I'm excited for the season to hit harder and faster like the premiere. Maybe I just have ADD, but I always get a little dreary when they introduce us to new characters with so many established ones that could provide interesting stories.

I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that the EU is anything non- original and prequel trilogies.

Since when did he not want wookie Jedi?

mabye he didn't because they don't speak other langauges

As for the Onderon Arc, I liked it, and one thought running through my head while watching it was "Boy is this whole training rebels deal going to bite Anakin in the back later on". I ,for one, am still waiting for

Clippity clip!

The animation has really improved.

Am I the only one who is a little erked that a bunch of younglings can out smart a group of pirates, the same pirates who took Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Count Dooku hostage?

Well the pirates were busy being drunk, it didn't strike me as too impossible, weequays aren't exactly the brightest creatures anyway.

Anakin ends killing all of those younglings anyway, so that kind of makes up for it.

Am I the only one who finds it odd that Hondo is the answer to everything this season?

How is Kenobi going to defeat BOTH Maul and Opress?
Hondo

How are we going to get the supplies to Onderon without taking sides?
Hondo

How do we keep this youngling story arc going? They've found the crystals, built the lightsabers, now what?
Hondo

How do we get the younglings out of the seemingly impossible corner we've written them into?
Hondo

Odd? No of course not. Hondo is just that awesome.

I concur :plokoon:

I just wanted to do that, but Hondo is awesome.

I do enjoy Hondo, but I have had my fill for now. I imagine they'll get away from him in whatever arc is coming next. My impression is that his appearances were supposed to be a bit more spread out, since the Maul/Oppress episode was originally intended to take place later in the season. So in that case, the excessive amounts of Hondo are more coincidental/accidental.

Correct, these episodes weren't produced in the order that they aired so Hondo's back-to-back appearances weren't intentional. I suspect that we won't be seeing him again this season.

So how awesome was the Slave I cameo?

I didn't really get it. I thought Boba Fett still had it. How does Hondo have it?

There's more than one Firespray class ship out there. It could have been Slave I, but it wasn't necessarily so.
