Practical questions abound for the Colossus crew as they float through space, like: What do we do about the food situation? And also water? And also the fact that our air force is a bunch of racers who never trained for combat?
In “Live Fire” and “Hunt on Celsor-3,” (Season 2, Episodes 3–4) we get answers to all these questions—and we flash over to Tam and the First Order to see verrrrrry different ways of dealing with them. While Tam is getting indoctrinated, the Aces get their “me first” attitude beaten out of them.
And we do some deep philosophical thinking about stolen honor, sapience and sentience when it comes to large charismatic Star Wars creatures, and why jakoosks get eaten and purrgil don’t (except maybe by pirates?!).
