Eeth Koth

I was clicking around on Jedis and I'm like, gosh, so many fucking Jedis.

But there was like a whole thing for, I don't know how to say their name, Eeth Koth.

E-E-T-H K-O-T-H

Oh, yeah, this guy.

In terms of the plot of this one, I didn't have a whole heck of a lot.

There was the classic... grab onto the outside of the big ship so they can't detect us and at this point in the series I'm getting kind of tired of cutting doors open with lightsabers I think we need different ways to open doors because it is objectively very cool but when it happens in every single episode it gets a little stale and I think okay we need a different way to get into places the thing that I really thought was interesting about this episode is that our Jedi guy, Eeth Koth, who...

I don't know if he's the same kind of guy as Darth Maul, that they're the same kind of alien.

Maybe they have the head spikies.

So this is tangential to my observation about the episode.

Yeah.

So the way that it's set up is we're trying to rescue Eeth Koth and capture Grievous, but it becomes apparent that you can only really do one or the other in the circumstances.

And the Jedi elect to rescue Eeth, which immediately pings my plot senses because we've had...

feel like the industrial district of Coruscant is literally like, I don't know, probably like 50 miles away from the Jedi Council.

No, Eeth Koth.

Good pick, Eeth Koth.

He actually went out like a soldier in the...

He didn't die in Order 66.

Because there's this whole thing that...

Dave Filoni kind of wanted to use Eeth Koth.

And some of the other people at Lucasfilm Animation were like, he died in Attack of the Clones.

And so he was doing some research.

And like, technically speaking, in the script, I think, it says Eeth Koth bites the dust in the Geonosium arena.

Right, okay.

But Filoni just phoned George Lucas and said, is it okay if Eeth Koth is alive? And George said, yeah, of course.

So...
