But then WAC and Gascon wouldn’t be necessary, and that’s, again, a very different series of the episodes than the ones we got. I’d even be down with a silent episode, in the tradition of the great silent comics we’ve gotten over the years. But Star Wars doesn’t subtitle its droids, so that goes out the window. I was wondering while watching, would subtitles help? Star Wars isn’t opposed to subtitles (think Jabba’s palace), and that would at least allow more context given to the droids actions. The main issue with the D-Squad is that, aside from WAC, none of the droids really can communicate without bleeps and bloops. That could make a really cool Star Wars story.
In theory, I love the idea of droid squadron, a team that can do what regular soldiers, or even Jedi, can’t do. After today, there are only six more arcs worth of show, and because of that, this droid-centric four episodes feels very poorly timed. It may not feel like it based on the episodes I’m actually watching, but I am pretty close to the end of my time reviewing The Clone Wars.
