Still wrapping my head around the fact that these episodes are now ten years old. Then again, I’m even more thrown for a loop that Attack of the Clones just turned twenty, and that in a few days' time, The Phantom Menace and Revenge of the Sith will be twenty-three and seventeen respectively. I also thought of Squid Game when rewatching the first episode of this reaction. I even said, “Count Dooku and Moralo Eval were men ahead of their time. Here they are organizing and running the Squid Games, or whatever their actual name is, a decade before it premiered on Netflix.” One of the biggest takeaways of this arc is how the Jedi lied to Anakin and subsequently, as you say the seeds of doubt have been planted. Oh sure, the Jedi can go with their tried and true from a certain point of view bullshit, to which I quote from Knights of the Old Republic II, “Well, lying is lying, even from a certain point of view.” Ah, the Jedi. Such imbeciles they are. As you observed, all this trouble the Jedi go through to ensure that Palpatine does not get killed and that he remains safe. It’s ironic. Love the fight between Count Dooku and Anakin at the end, and I love your reaction to Dooku’s sass and shade as he retreats. Again, Palpatine has my favorite moments of the episode where he is once again methodically stirring the pot and adding the seasoning as he does so. It is a sight to behold seeing the smile on Palpatine’s face as he watches the battle between Dooku and Anakin. And then there’s his last line of the episode, “One shudders to think where the galaxy would be without the Jedi.” Hearing that line again, I’m grinning like a complete idiot, hopping up and down on my couch screaming, “God DAMN IT, is he GOOD!! I LOVE THAT MAN!!! I know that I shouldn’t, and yet, still, I LOVE HIM!!!” A moment of silence for Obi-Wan's beard, but don’t worry, you cannot keep a good beard down. Speaking from experience, you’d have to shave like three times a day to be able to keep a good beard down. A beard like Obi-Wan has, the man would have five o'clock shadow by 8.30am, growing that beard back will not be a problem. Strangely enough, I wasn’t too distressed by him losing it for this arc. Now, if something happened to Count Dooku’s beard, I would have become distressed and sounded like Gimli yelling, “NOT THE BEARD!!!” Absolutely loved your reactions to this arc, Jess. I’m also happy to see you’re back to two weeks early. Cannot wait for the next arc!

The tests were actually heavily inspired by the 1997 film Cube. It's worth a look.

I have heard the writers say that. Haven’t seen the film, but I have heard that it inspired the episode.
