Nico and Percy's dynamic through the series is eternally funny to me, because it's just. like.
Percy's having a constant mental struggle between his fatal flaw of loyalty with a promise he made to Bianca to protect Nico, versus his Big 3 kid desire to maim other Big 3 kids / Poseidon descendant urge to totally maim Nico specifically. He hates Nico so so much. He thinks Nico's annoying and weird at best, and creepy/sketchy when he's older. The only positive thoughts Percy has towards Nico are "He's Bianca's brother and Bianca was my friend and I owe her/He's Hazel's brother and Hazel is my friend and would kill me if I was mean to him," "He's a powerful asset and useful ally (if questionable)," and "He's kinda pathetic and I feel maybe a little bad about it." Percy has multiple occasions throughout the series where he strongly considers - and on one occasionally actually goes through with - throttling Nico.
Meanwhile, Nico is following around Percy like a lost puppy. He explicitly can never bring himself to even dislike anything about Percy no matter how hard he tries. He has a whole bit in BoO where he's mentally going "UGH he's so stupid BUT IT'S ENDEARING HOW DARE HE." He's totally smitten. He's making deals with his dad for Percy. He's making convoluted plans to help Percy stand a chance against Kronos. During the entirety of BoTL it's like he's playing tsundere - "I'm helping NOT PERCY SPECIFICALLY with this quest! Me helping Percy would be SILLY because I DEFINITELY HATE HIM." Then he proceeds to show up to Percy's birthday party to basically ask him on a weird date and spend the entire next book scrambling around trying to help him or protect him or impress him. And Percy could not give less of a shit.
Just. That dynamic is so funny to me. Percy is the founder of the Nico Protection Club in that he's the one they're all protecting Nico from and meanwhile Nico is throwing himself at Percy to the point where the literal god of gay love calls him out on it.

The simple nod between Rex and Wolffe holds the weight of the galaxy in it. Loyalty means everything to the clones. We knew deep down Wolffe wouldn’t hurt his brothers but actually seeing it hits home.

There are no words for how much it means to me to see a beautiful fat* woman running and enduring and doing what she needs to do. So many other shows would have made this a joke.
Thank you Discovery, Tilly is fucking amazing.
Gorgeous, gorgeous woman.
*I hope it’s clear to everyone that this is not a bad word and I am not using it in a way to insult her. I’m fat too! It’s simply a descriptive word.

I imagine that the Jedi temple was haunted after Order 66.
Even after Palpatine turned it into his palace.
I like to think whole sections were left to decay, closed off to the public and kept under guard by stormtroopers and imperial patrol troops.
Visits are allowed but only under strict supervision and only at certain times.
Some visitors, workers, imperial troops and cleaners report hearing strange noises.
Blaster fire, screams, random voices speaking to them (“have you been to the archives? They’ve got some fascinating new books on xenoarbology.”), children laughing, hushed whispers around the corner, barely audible.
Sometimes those imperials report getting lost or claiming to get stuck in areas not on the map or walking the same hallway with no memory of how they got there.
Some even claim to see living Jedi wandering the halls, even speaking to them. But nothing shows up on the security cameras.
“But he was right there!”
“Well there’s nothing on the camera.”
“I saw him! Clear as day!”
I imagine that even Palpatine heard and/or saw things and found them so terrifying that he preferred to stay in his office instead.
Some visitors and imperials find the place to have an unsettling aura. Even without knowing what happened, they feel overwhelmed and think they’re being watched or something.
“It’s too quiet…”
“Not to me, I swear sometimes I can hear this screaming…”
I’d love to see future Star Wars content delve into this idea.
