- Quotes
Doctor Gorst: [Bix breathing heavily as soldier restrains her to chair] Oh, the... The restraints are nothing to be feared. It's much safer for you to be tethered as we engage. There's nothing intrinsically physical about this process, but we've had some early trials that were a bit chaotic.
[Gorst smiles and chuckles. He moves a control panel toward her]
Doctor Gorst: There's an Outer Rim moon called Dizon Fray. There was a sentient species there, quite unusual. Extremely hostile to the concept of an Imperial refueling center that was being planned. I say "was" because they created such a stir that the local commanders were granted permission to use any means necessary. And, um, well, what's important for our purposes here today is that the massacre of the Dizonites was broadcast and recorded as proof of mission. They make a sound as they die. A sort of, choral, agonized pleading. It was quite unlike anything anyone has ever heard before. There were three communications officers monitoring the documentation, and they were found hours later huddled together in various states of emotional distress, in a crawl space beneath the ship's bridge. We've taken the recordings and modified them slightly, layering, adjusting. And we found a section of what we believe are primarily children, which has its own particular effect.
[Gorst opens case and pulls out headset]
Doctor Gorst: Doesn't take long. It won't feel that way to you inside. But, um... let me know when you're willing to cooperate.
[Gorst flashes a gentle smile]
Doctor Gorst: Oh, and if you're having difficulty speaking, just shake your head from side to side.
[Gorst holds headset above Bix]
Dedra Meero: You'll want to be sure or that, Bix, that you're cooperating fully. It's repeat listening that cause the most damage. Are we ready?
Doctor Gorst: Let's get on with it.
[Gorst fits the headset over Bix, who breathes heavily, breath trembling, then screams]

As if the story wasn't already unsettling enough, writer Beau Willimon & creator Tony Gilroy have frankly, somehow found a deliciously sinister way of making the imperialistic "Empire" in "Star Wars" universe as dystopian as you can probably get on screen (without compromising the suitability rating for audiences), intellectually exploring the brutal, inhumane reality of what it means to maintain their flawed perception of "order" & the consequences its preservation it has on working class people, who predominantly suffer under its tyranny. Furthermore, it's this unflinchingly mature manner in which the themes are approached that continually catches me off guard, as the filmmaking fearlessly confronts the true horror of the harmful ideology many possess with a startling honesty that feels uncomfortably familiar & bold for a project airing on Disney+. This isn't just another mindless addition to a well-known sci-fi franchise (made to cash in on devout fan's loyalty to the brand); in grim installments like these, the season has a clear, distinct purpose, a voice - with a statement make - & it's not afraid to use it.
