As a kid, I thought these types of episodes were really boring and I didn’t understand what was happening or why it mattered. But now, I find the nuanced politics really interesting; they add a good deal of depth to the Star Wars world as well as great, complicated concepts other than “good guy fight bad guy.”
Nah, this shit doesn't make any sense. The Trade Federation being neutral is some bullshit, they were literally one of the founding members of the Confederacy.
@@MrPyroCrab Yeah, they’re not actually neutral; they’re partial to the Separatists and funnel them lots of money, but they declared themselves neutral for corporate matters so that they could still do business with both sides. They ultimately want the Separatists to win (though they don’t declare this publicly), but they want to pocket as much money along the way as possible (since the war is quite profitable for them). It’s not too dissimilar with some stuff that happens in real life.
Is anybody going to talk about the fact that Dod has a pair of robot women he calls his "servants" following him around? Like there's no way those aren't Bang-Bots, right?
Those are BD-3000 “Luxury” Droids. They are a class of “Secretary” Droid, similar to the CZ Model and to a lesser extent the Protocol Model. They are quite versatile, ranging from working as DJs, Cooks, or Tailors. They work as attendants mostly, providing flattery to their owners. They can be further customized to become combat models or bodyguard platforms. They also possess a gyro-stabilized gait that mimicked a provocative hip swing. They are viewed as status symbols among the wealthy, and as commodities among the unsavory, with some used as “escorts”. Even clones have been known to hang out with them in certain clubs on shore leave. BDs could also be outfitted with articulated prosthetics on their heads that mimicked the lekku of the twi’lek. So while they *might* not be bang-bots by Dod, they are are bang-bots. But yeah, I wouldn’t put it past him.
They really thought we wouldn’t notice. In the same franchise with hundreds of wookiepeida articles on background characters with no lines and literal seconds of screen time.
I'm not racist against all Neimoidians - one of my friends is a Neimoidian - but I really wish this guy had been on Mustafar when I went there to take care of business.
Either that or a character that just recycles the same model, which given that we've seen a lot of the same tall, skinny nemodians, wouldn't be too unlikely
@@whitechili4168 Maybe the Trade Federation bailed him out after he was arrested by General Skywalker, General Secura, Commander Bly, Commander Tano, and Captain Rex.
I think Dodd was supposed to die in an unproduced arc for season 7 or 8. It would of taken place on Mon Cala and been about Padmé beginning to loose faith in the Republic setting up her arc in the RotS deleted scenes. I also think that George said before the end of the war the Trade Federation abandoned its neutral status and formally joined the Separatists. (Also note how in Bad Bad the droid tank in the first episode has Federation colours rather than the blue separatist colours) I would assume the death (maybe even assassination) of a high profile figure like Senator Trent Lott- I mean Senator Lott Dodd would be a catalyst for that.
What source is this from? Sounds like an interesting arc, there was a Po Dameron comic that mentions him dying late in the war but doesn’t really elaborate on the details.
@@MrDarthCIS Dodd dying in the arc is just my speculation putting together context clues. The Mon Cala arc was talked ab by Dave Filoni in a behind the scenes feature on the Season Six dvd. U can find it online or read ab it on the Wookiepedia page for Clone Wars Legacy. This story had productions codes 7.17-7.20 and would have starred Padmé Amidala working against Chancellor Palpatine's prolonged stay in office. In episode 7.19 Padmé and Anakin Skywalker returned to Mon Cala to meet with King Lee-Char once again. While there, they found out that the leader of the Quarren, Nossor Ri, had been murdered, and Tikkes [secretly a member of the Seperatist Council] had been appointed provisional leader in his place. Padmé hoped to gain support from the Quarren to remove Palpatine from office. The Quarren Senator Tundra Dowmeia explained to Padmé that their government was gridlocked and unable to function. They would meet with Tikkes, who expressed frustrations with Palpatine
That's how you make the world feel real. It's an alien culture and society with rules, customs and history and you aren't going to know everything about it. A big inspiration for George Lucas was Akira Kurosawa films where he didn't understand everything in that society and culture, but he knew it was all real and it made sense to the Japanese culture and the characters in the movie. Even though the culture and society was alien to him he could still follow the human drama before him. He designed Star Wars with the goal of giving viewers the same feeling. He wanted people to be able to follow the story purely on the human drama, but he also wanted you to see this alien galaxy and believe everything in it was real. That there was this culture and history that you didn't really know, or understand, but you believed the characters do. George Lucas said he doesn't design sets he designs whole cultures. Everything in set has to have a purpose. A rhyme, or reason. He mentally has to live in that world. So while something in the background might not mean anything to audiences it does mean something to the characters in that world and George Lucas. A small line in A New Hope about the Clone Wars is an example of this. Audiences back in 1977 didn't know what the hell the Clone Wars were, but you sure believed Luke, Leia and Obi wan did and that Luke's dad fought in them. The Commerce Treaty of 1647 is just another one of those lines that help to make the Galaxy Far Far Away feel real.
Aryam Rege nope your probably thinking of rune haako it was Lott Dodd and those 2 techno union associates with Wat Tambor in the bad batch arc that didn’t seem to be on Mustafar
@@maskdude6914 According to the wiki, it's stated he died sometime during the cold war of the Republic and the First order. However how he died is unknown.
From Wookiepedia: "Sometime later during the conflict, Lott Dod was killed, and by the time of the Cold war between the Resistance and the First Order his palace was turned into vaults which Baron Paw Maccon of the influential House Maccon of Cato Neimoidia baron rented to clientele."
