All too often after a revolution the group that comes into power ends up being just as bad (or at least comparably bad) to the group that was overthrown. Sometimes the new group is even worse. |

I agree her cranking the dial up to max was intended to keep him quiet. Her behavior matches that of a double agent as well. She's ingratiating herself with the New Republic by exposing a former Imperial as having not become reformed. She undoubtedly planning the whole excursion with the guards, as evidenced by them treating her differently at the time of arrest. The travel biscuits would also sow doubt if it wasn't known how he acquired them, especially with him eating one openly at his new job. It might have even been the evidence she used to convince them of his disloyalty and to go along with the entrapment she set up. |

Okay episode I give it a 6.6/10
Opening few minutes were kick ass. I didn’t have the middle part, just irritated how it ties in further with the Disney Trilogy. I got excited when Bo says “That’s a lot of ships for an Imperial Warlord” Click To View Spoiler . I think its Thrawn.

I guess I'm the outlier, but I loved the Pershing stuff. The sequels are bad, but they exist. All that can be done now is to try and fix them.
The prequels were awful until Clone Wars made the era kick ass and filled in a LOT of gaps. If Mando etc can help explain away/fix some of the sequel jankiness, I'm all for it. Sure, Asohka can use the world between worlds to retcon them away, but if you think that's gonna happen, you're dreaming. I'm more than happy to see the TV shows fill in some blanks. Pershing is gonna get us to the clone Emperor. Snoke/clone Palps was a bad decision, but we're stuck with it, so may as well try to make it make sense. |

View Quote It would be entirely out of character for her to do so anyhow. Even though she'd never known of it, the moment she was there, she understood the danger of that kind of power, and the endless unintended consequences of changing the past. One final lesson for Ezra. She couldn't save her master, and he couldn't save his. |

Thought it was only outsiders Not permitted to remove in the presence of anyone, iirc. Similar to a monk taking a vow of silence. It's about will power, with the added twist that you must actively defend your vow as others could force you to break it. "Have you ever removed your helmet? Has it ever been removed by another?" That said, they're descendants of DeathWatch, and Pre Vizsla frequently removed his, as did literally everyone other Mandalorian outside of the "Children of the Watch". Bo-Katan immediately recognized him as a member of that cult when he brought up her removing her helmet. When her sister ruled Mandalore, traditional armor was rarely seen in Sundari. |

I can’t imagine he’s working for what’s left of the Empire at this point. There's just been too many hints that Thrawn and Sabine will make some kind of entrance. The Purgill seen in hyperspace were a conspicuous nod to Rebels, and with Din and Bo-Katan clearly rallying the Mandalorians to retake the home world, Sabine will undoubtedly tie in since the Darksaber is such a pivotal part of that. Bo-Katan assuredly has a means of contacting her. |
