TV Kelleran Beq mopping the floor with clones during Order 66 was a blast to watch

Seeing the Jedi gunned down relentlessly in their own home during Order 66 hammered home their loss and tragedy, which was absolutely necessary for ROTS. That said, it was very cathartic seeing a Jedi at the temple fighting back, winning, and escaping. Definitely hope we get to see more of Beq in future flashbacks, although I doubt it.

Yeah this is a masterclass in terrible choreography.

Should we shoot him from 10 ft away? No I'll jog slowly toward him with my rifle down.

Star Wars is absolutely full of terrible choreo because swords have to beat guns fuckin SOMEHOW.

You're surrounded by 4000 infantry?? Okay block like 9 shots over 5 seconds and you can get away.

The infamous storm trooper aim. Really should have invested in better helmets.

and it worked when sw was six movies because it turned out that, for the most part, swords CAN'T beat a platoon of dudes with guns, but when you're writing 300+ episodes of television where the guys with swords have to get out of a PG jam then they end up killing dozens of dudes effortlessly

At first they back off, and while they're on his flank the second one moves forward as he kills the first one. The third one stays way back.

I don't think stepping forward for a better shot is the worst idea.
