    Episode 5 was really bad. There were lots of action scenes, but they relied heavily on characters just teleporting. The lightsaber thing was really weird, and doesn’t really make sense. The show could have just ended at 5, but there’s more episodes so the bad guy just survives anyway.

      If by “the lightsaber thing” you mean them shorting out, that was awesome. The helmet and wrist guards were made of Cortosis, and I’m happy to see them bring stuff in from the EU.

      If the series ended at 5, I’d be mad, because we need to see alternate viewpoints of 3.

        It probably should have stayed in the EU at this point. The empire would have given that to inquisitors when hunting jedi. The separatists would have gotten enough for at least grevious to have some. Bringing in magic anti jedi armor in a prequel gets really problematic.

          It’s extremely rare, not particularly well known, difficult to work with, and not very durable. You saw how Darth Bortles’s helmet sustained lightsaber hits but broke from a punch. It has limited usefulness, but Sith armor is one use.

            Nothing is so extremely rare that the empire wouldn’t have it. Arguing Palpatine wouldn’t have heard of it seems like a dead end. You can maybe argue palps wouldn’t give the separatists something that useful, but his dedicated jedi hunters would have had it.
