The Legends go to Hollywood to take on the Legion of Doom and rescue Rip.
If only Rip would remember!
After all,Legendshas shown plenty of levels of crazy across its two seasons; could itreallytop itself?

Well, it does.
It all began with Rips Hail Mary in New York at the time of the explosion.
and then electrocutes himself after powering Gideon down.
In fact, its a medallion that can point the user to the Spear of Destiny.
Sure, but whatisthis loftily-named Spear of Destiny?
As Nate puts it, its kind of the end-all be-all MacGuffin prize in this world.
So yeah, the Legendshaveto see to it the Legion doesnt find it.
Its important: Its the Elder Wand of Time and Space.
Its the one stick of wood to rule them all.
Its… the crystal skull of immense wooden power!
Okay, okay, not the best George Lucas reference.
Anyway, every Legend has a bad feeling about this.
(There we go!)
In your face, critics; howsthatfor meta?
Just call this episodeLegends Wars: TheLast Time Master!
(Too much?)
(Arthur Darvill,how could you!)
With that revelation, the team comes up with a plan to extract Rip.
I amnot crazy, Rip insists, glaring at his former teammates.
Just think of it as movie-turned-TV magic, buddy.
Back aboard the ship, the team has Gideon take a look at Rips busted memory.
Hearing this, Mick wonders if perhapshecan have his brain scanned and fixed as well.
Those are definitely not the vocations theyre looking for.
(Ill stop soon, I swear.)
Which is harder than it sounds.
This freaks George out, understandably, but he finally agrees to return to school.
And if thats true, then the script must hold some secret to the Spear.
Merlyn snatches Amayas totem off her neck, and with Darhk, corners the foursome.
And theyre yelling things like Say youll make movies!
and Believe in yourself!
and What do you really want!
I wouldnt want a young Harrison Fords lopsided smile wasted on carpentry either, you know what I mean?
The battles not over yet, though.
Just when it looks like the Legends might make it out okay, Eobard Thawne a.k.a Reverse-Flash a.k.a.
the de facto leader of the Legion of Doom shows up and wants to make a mess.
Back on board, Sara thinks over her failure to save Rip, but Jax wont let her wallow.
Sara wonders if thats a promise.
Thats a prophecy, Jax says, landing his most epic one-liner yet.
Elsewhere on the Waverider, Mick and Stein had a similar heart-to-heart.
At least the boys and Amaya are having fun.
the trio grab some popcorn and settle in for a long night of watching George Lucas greatest hits.
Im guessing the prequels arent on Nate and Rays lists.
The Legends are ready for their next mission, but Rip is not ready foranythingat the moment.
(No, really, more Arthur Darvill being silly, kindly.)
Fingers crossed he wont have to enduretoomuch; the Legends will probably find him soon enough.
IS IT?!).
Also, is this episode implying thatStar Warsis based on George Lucas repressed memories?!
But boy, does that wig on Rip look terrible to anyone else?
