Going into this knowing so much was going to be left to discuss honesty made this episode better. I really don’t feel like we got a complete story arc this season and it was all set up for later.

That aside, I really enjoyed this episode and season as a whole.

I love seeing Night Sister magic, it’s a side of the force we haven’t explored much, especially in live action, so great to see it here. I’m sure Morgan is dead but I wouldn’t be against a little magic to keep her going in some other form in the future.

Thrawn was excellent, he feels so in control. It’s like Tarkin in A New Hope. He isn’t on the ground fighting, but he has complete control of his troops, he hovers over everything, cleverly guiding the battle to his advantage.

Obviously Ray Stevenson will be missed. Baylan and Shin are honestly the characters I’m most interested in and that is 100% due to the excellent excellent work of Stevenson. I assume he’ll need to be recast given the ending and I don’t envy whomever has to fill those shoes. I do wish we learned a bit more about them. As a Clone Wars watcher we got some hints, but a little more would have been nice.

Ultimately when this whole story is told I’m not going to mind this season being mostly set up. However I do think this season is going to be a hard sell to any casual fans, obviously I’m ok with that, but it does make me worry about the shows long term.
