Yes. In this episode, you’ll note that one of them was nicknamed Echo. Also, 99, the janitor, plays a key role and his number figures strongly in the season 7 episodes 1-4 which launch the creation of the group known as The Bad Batch. That number gets used for various important things.

Did you catch the Easter egg when the test administrators said to use ā€œversion THX, variation 1138ā€?

No, but I haven’t watched Bad Batch yet! Is it referring to that or something else?

I wondered if the old guy would be a recurring character! Those were some good episodes.

It’s a classic George Lucas Easter egg. It pops up in various movies and series, not just Star Wars ones

Yes! This is the beginning. I like Bad Batch. I think you will too.

I just watched today’s episode of The Bad Batch, episode 14. One left in the series. Nothing overly major in terms of action, mainly sneaking around, getting physically closer, and gathering information. I look forward to next week’s episode. I’m curious how this will ultimately wrap up.

I just watched the finale of The Bad Batch. Very satisfying. It’s almost an hour long, almost twice the usual ones. Lots of good. Lots of comeuppance. Right away, you can tell it’s different by the opening music. Loved the family portrait at 43:30. :face_holding_back_tears: Loved the very tail end scene.

Tomorrow is May the 4th! I’m going to see The Phantom Menace. :blush::blue_heart:

Here is a video Star Wars made for the occasion.

Also tomorrow, six episodes of Tales of the Empire animated series will premiere on Disney+. This series is related to Tales of the Jeidi except they feature the dark side. The main characters are Morgan Elsbeth (last seen in Ahosoka) and Barriss Offee (she was in several Clone Wars episodes, plus Attack of the Clones). There are a few trailers for this. Here is one:

I love that video! We saw the movie last night. I couldn’t believe how empty the theater was. Maybe people were waiting for May the 4th!

I started May the 4th by frantically googling what the music is in the Rise of Skywalker trailer. It was one the best trailers I’ve seen and the music is phenomenal. Turns out it’s a custom composition made for the trailer (which I suppose is typical) by Blake Robinson, who apparently has done a ton of Star Wars feature/trailer music.

I don’t think it has been released anywhere, but this is one of the best versions I found, taken from the trailer (there’s also plenty of good remakes):
