4.5/10. Oof, did we really need the droid answer to Scrappy Doo? Did we need a teeny alien colonel with a Napoleon complex? Did we need a standard "I don't believe in you, but I'll work through my own inferiority issues by appreciating your abilities" stories? This is the first real stinker this season, and it feels like they made a broader-pitched episode just for the toys and the kiddies. There's nothing wrong with that exactly -- a bevvy of new droids is a minor treat -- but the characters were stock and annoying (short of R2, of course) and the plot was a big nothing. The only real credit to the episode comes from the anti-grav sequence, which had some great visual inventiveness to it. Otherwise, this was a dud.

it was fun, but more for children and extremely annoying at times. More of an R2D2 episode but he is relegated to a B character.
it slowed down the season for me even though I do enjoy some of the silly episodes. definitely can be missed and I'd recommend it if you're not a child.
