If Gideon escaped as the one Amnesty guy suggested, he could have easily connected with Thrawn and relayed the idea that Bo Katan was planning on a Mandalore retake. Or simply organized his own forces and headed that way. Guessing next episode we'll see Gideon reintroduced, maybe a mention or even a glimpse at Live Action Thrawn. Slightly boring but critically important episode. |

When the former Empire troops are at the table, one of them says "I heard he escaped on the way to (I can't remember)". Then you have the gender fluidish Asian or whatever chick who clearly wants the doc's memory completely wiped. I think she's a double agent working for Gideon. |

Rebels got better as it went along. The beginning was rough and childish. Eza was an annoying twat for most of the series. The episodes with Maul were the best. |

There have been some good parts, but compared to last year season, its been boring as hell. Ups and downs. I was thinking similar, especially with this episode and only 3 more left. Then I went back and looked at last season and it was a similar pattern with the 4th from last okayish/not seemingly related and the last 3 (final week is 2eps) strong and it seems to be a pattern. Have to dig deeper historically but it may be a Filoni trait of storytelling. Guess it's better than peaking early and closing on a filler episode. |

Originally Posted By Hunter-Killer: Badass opening scene. Interesting ending scene. The 40 minutes in between: https://media.tenor.com/_3rsMekqOKEAAAAC/i-dont-care-jim-carrey.gif View Quote That was probably the impression of every Star Wars fan. Opening scene is an exciting, fast-paced space battle featuring new tactics and weapons. "This is going to be the best episode ever!" Followed by sleepy time story hour, featuring Capt Dykesmore and Dr Snivel. "Are they a couple now? How is he going to conduct clone research with a box of clipboards? Is she ever going to show us her tits? When will this nightmare end?!" I'm surprised they didn't include an unbroken 4 minute shot of Dr Snivel eating breakfast cereal while gazing mournfully into the distance. But it may have been a genius pacing decision by the producers. By the end of the storyline, I thought she was going to turn the dial the other way. She's a real piece of work, that one. But please Disney, no more slow pacing, I have ADHD. Also, the New Republic brainwashes people? This is why Skywalker and the Ewoks were partying hard at the end of RoTJ? Suddenly, the Empire looks pretty good. |

Maybe write in some unusual growth spurt. |

If he doesn't hurry up and age, Mando will be long dead before Grogu can become a believable, effective Mandalorian. What makes you think that's the path for Grogu? I think he ends up back with the Jedi at some point to continue his training. Let's face it, his little dwarfy Yoda body isn't going to be in a suit of Mando armor doing Mando shit. The story arch may require Din getting killed before Grogu will go back. |
