[quote=John McClane]precisely, we got to see how the empire subsumes world's to serve as their middle management. that, in and of itself, is frightening. :lol:[/quote]

both do a wonderful job making the Empire scary, but i think [i]Rogue One[/i] does it better.[/quote]

that episode when we hear the TIE fighters before seeing them. man, i had never felt fear like that before. and the cohesiveness between the two works is outstanding![/quote]

I loved the decision to focus on sort of middle management types in the ranks of the empire, really digging into the mindset of people who would put their energy into a regime like that. Then shifting to the prison story on the back half of the run to really ramp up the tension and show all the gears of the empire just grinding people into pulp. I hope we get the same level of quality in season 2.[/quote]
