Yeah, the pacing slowed to a crawl over the last couple episodes so you knew this wasn't setting up for any sort of resolution. And since there's supposed to be a movie in 3-4 years, it was all the more obvious.
I kinda feel like it's gonna be pretty unsatisfying. There's just way too left unsettled and the show about Ahsoka that's really just turned into live action Rebels (Disney sidelines the eponymous character again...) has really demonstrated maybe one critical beat as to Ahsoka so it might be nice if they put a LITTLE effort into her character in this episode...
I got more from/about Ahsoka in The Mandalorian then I have in what was ostensibly her show before it turned into the "Sabine Fucks Up Again Happy Funtime Hour" [Reply]
The Dark Side witches used the echo created by the Ahsoka/Sabine mental Force connection to find them.
I don't think that's particularly wonky or overpowered. Pretty in line with normal activity in the universe, really. This planet is also pretty tied to the Dark Side, based on what they've said, which I'm sure they're tapping into.
I LOVED Ahsoka reaching out to Shin to offer to help her.
Spoiler!
if they're coming back to the Mordis storyline, Skoll could be chasing becoming the new Father? He walks the line between light and dark, being of neither?
I think that's more likely than diving in to the wonky-as-fuck Abeloth stuff. I like Aaron Allston in general, but that stuff was trash.

I agree about Ahsoka reaching out to Shin. That was really nicely in character, and that really fit what Dawson can do well. And Shin is really good at portraying the conflict and self doubt subtly (*cough* Hayden Christensen *cough cough*).
Spoiler!
I hadn't thought about Skoll becoming a Mordis God. I have read some stuff speculating that Anakin became one.
I'm not sure I'm dork enough to comment.
I'm not all about that Abeloth stuff. I'm not familiar with it but it sounds weird as shit.

Three things led to me divesting myself of all my Star Wars EU books (keep in mind I had basically every book since Zahn released his masterpiece trilogy):
1) Disney declaring all of the EU books non-canon
2) My wife and I finding out we were having twins, and the library room becoming a second nursery
3) The Abeloth nonsense in the last cleared EU series
It is so, so, so bad. Just so bad. Anakin Skywalker-dialogue-in-AoTC-bad.
*sigh…..I don’t know if I’ve ever been so underwhelmed with a show finale. That being said, I’m still definitely looking forward to season 2…if there is one. [Reply]
This series reminds me of those MCU Disney+ shows that feel like placeholders on the way to telling a bigger narrative and not something with much of a story to tell in itself (a stark contrast to say, Andor). After strong early seasons, the Mandalorian has trended that way too because of the need to build their SW Universe.
They also somehow went an entire season without revealing Baylan’s motives, so I can only assume the writers haven’t gotten that far yet (and now maybe they never will given Stevenson’s passing). [Reply]

I don't feel that way. I think most of the series I have watched watched on Disney have ended decently. They could move forward with the next season or stop right there and still be OK. This one literally resolved not one thing. This ended as if they have three more seasons planned. I suppose you can say they found Ezra but that's it. Just really let down on that finale. [Reply]
