Could the acting have been any worse? Seriously, Gina Carano needs acting lessons ASAP. Her acting is so bad it makes me uncomfortable to watch. Carl Weathers acting in this episode was also really lifeless. I'm impressed he pulled double duty here, but maybe he bit off a bit too much. Overall I thought the script was boring, convenient, and predictable. Were there important revelations revealed? Yes, however, these revelations were wrapped in a "Bruckheimeresque" episode. I never thought I'd miss CGI, but some of the practical effects were bad. (See the ferret) Now to Stormtroopers.......So the Empire has been defeated and yet there is an endless supply of Stormtroopers all geared up just for target practice. I realize this is a fantasy, but can we not at least question whether these Stormtroopers would maintain their loyalty after a crushing defeat and being treated like 1930s coal miners by the Empire??? Are these stormtroopers really gonna walk around this isolated base with supreme loyalty like mindless droids? And why are there Speeder Bikes on an isolated base where the Empire is trying to be incognito? And are the stormtroopers in speeder bike gear just sitting there wearing this gear for years just in case they need to chase someone? It seemed like 20 full minutes of this episode were repetitive scenes of our heroes shooting Stormtroopers in a corridor. I found this episode very difficult to watch and very contrived.
