[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 8793191, member: 4937"] Like I said, as a guy who runs Star Wars D6, that all fell flat for me. Star Wars sensors are very powerful, as the movies and other media have repeatedly shown. A military complex like that is going to pretty much instantly spot anything in line of sight, and have a sensor network laid out around it to detect things that aren't in line of sight. As soon as you get a life form or a power source in line of sight, in open country like that you are going to get scanned. That the writers ignore that is one of the few examples we have of the writers dumbing things down for the audience. There are plenty of ways to fool the sensors or the person using them, but it appears that the writers didn't want to go there. I would have liked 10-15 more minutes to show just that sort of thing, as well as the dinner party the prior scene with Mon Mothma promised and more time to develop her plot line and maybe make the relationship with her husband more complex (as he is mostly silent in all the scenes, the audience isn't seeing what he is thinking). But overall, this show is wonderful. It's smart. It's grown up. It's well made and well conceived. It looks really good. It's pretty much everything we haven't been seeing from Star Wars since Disney got a hold of the property, aside from Rogue One. [/QUOTE]
