I liked the rest of the episode though.
C-ThroughtheplotarmorThreepio showing up with the ultimate UNO Reverse card with orders from Leia was ham fisted, even if it really was cool to see Threepio out of the blue. [Reply]

It really is a shame. He is damn good. When he stood there after getting bombed by the droid, thinking, "****" was just great. Stevenson deserves more credit than he'll ever get.
Eight, yeah. And we still don’t have a clue why he’s doing what he’s doing. [Reply]

I'm not so sure. I felt like any of them could have died in the last episode. Especially punk rock darkside. :-) [Reply]
I agree with the New Republic Council scene being Community Theater.
I don't know quite how they've managed to cock it up, but the scenes in Return of the Jedi on Home One, during the briefing with Mon Mothma...they just cannot recapture that magic.
Something about the feel of the way they're shooting the New Republic scenes is just "off." I still like the scenes, but they could do better.
Andor seems to capture that feel better.
It might be because Filoni is going for more of a cartoonish style given the source material here. [Reply]

I can't believe ANYONE doesn't like the Nightsisters. They were ALWAYS wonky even in the cartoons. I think the live action version is completely tolerable and believable. I love their little death stars. :-)
They feel like a very natural evolution of Thrawn using C'baoth for his own purposes. [Reply]
Obi-Wan's teachings to Anakin are meant to be taken unequivocally, and are DEFINITELY not indicative of a Jedi Order losing grasp of it's basic tenets of knowledge and defense and becoming overly reliant on weapons leading to their downfall

Lots to button up. I would assume it ends with everyone arriving back in the "original" galaxy and is left on a cliffhanger for the 2nd season. They also have to address their plans for Baylan Skoll since the actor that played him died recently. [Reply]
