The Lurmen are definitely interesting characters, and I think that the exploration of their views was better executed in the first of the two episodes, as the chief of the village just came across as a grumpy old man, and not like the pacifist that was introduced in the last episode. However, the episode features some great action sequences, as the show seems to have given that a little boost. The antagonist of the episode is another big Trade Federation dummy and he went down as one too. I think this arc was a good and different idea that they probably should have taken a little further. Nevertheless, the overall development of the show was still there, and it gave us a real hint of what these big planetary battles will look like further down the line.
