Andor is far superior, no doubt. This is entertaining, and good for a nostalgia blast to see these characters in live action. It's definitely better than Obi-Wan (sans Vader duel at the end) and BoBF. I haven't been bored with it yet. [Reply]
My Ezra theory was wrong, not sure what the black dust was, but I'm thrilled that all the major players are still alive on the show. I'm a really big fan of the blonde haired girl, I like her menacing tone and counter to Sabine. Every episode that goes by makes me sad that Ray Stevenson died, that character deserves a badass send off, hopefully sacrificing himself for his padawan or Ahsoka, but it'll be sad if they don't kill off the character and we'll never get to see him again with Ray playing him. Best episode yet for sure, brings back the mystery and suspense of Jedi tactics and ethos and ends on a great cliffhanger where I just want next week to get here. Great job with this show so far.

That would be an amazing fanboy squee moment if it's revealed (and a badass moment for Sam Witwer to make his live action debut in the SWU), but I don't see it. Starkiller ended up being so powerful as to beat Vader into submission one-on-one; I just couldn't see a scenario where he'd be batting third after Baylon and emo-ish not-padawan in a story about Thrawn and Ezra's eventual return. I have no guess as to who it could be, and like I said I'd love to see that, but it just feels off. Will be happy to eat crow if I'm wrong!

I meant to post it last night. Fucking Stevenson is awesome. He was REALLY good in this episode. He was probably the best performance in the episode.
Like you, I hope we get a good conclusion to the character and hopefully some more Ahsoka. [Reply]

Good on Filoni for being willing to make a fan favorite character a REALLY flawed one.
Because people really like Sabine and there are so many 'girlboss!' traps that they could've fallen into here. But they've lined out a character sketch for Sabine and she's played true to the form of that character.
Yeah, Ahsoka knew she'd do it - we ALL knew that she'd do it. Because she's a an immature and emotionally driven character. She always has been and they're sticking to that.

Good for them.
Yes. Excellent writing that has me wanting more.
If Lucasfilm had done something INTERESTING like this with Rey we'd have all gone bonkers. Should have had her ally with Kylo at the end of The Last Jedi. [Reply]
