So, first episode of third season launches quite unique. I liked how it took a break from the regular and focused entirely on the troopers again. What I loved was the fact that theres finally phase 2 uniforms (maybe just for ARC's but that is a start) and I liked how the clones of Jango start to deteoriate since they have to keep stretching the DNA samples... it is a bloody nice hint towards the fact that the production of stormtroopers moved onto new "host templates" and recruiting, while original Jango clones kept a small percentage of overall stormtrooper core.
And who picked out an obvious Team Fortress 2 reference? 
Oh and about messing the timeline again! fooey, what is up with that. Again one has to stick episodes into between old ones in order to have a perfect playlist. These so called prequel episodes are annoying sometimes when you expect the story to progress forward towards ROTS, it takes steps backwards...
But all in all, good episodes.
