Also is Rukh with them? I think the last time we saw him was when Sabine and Zeb fought him on Lothal. He could've made it back to the Chimera but they could also leave him out if they want. If I remember correctly Rukh is the one that kills Thrawn in the book. Pelleon is not with them though I don't think. Or not sure if he was on one of the other ISDs that the Purgills took away. Are we going to see them? Probably not but I think there should be a couple more ships alongside the Chimera unless they were destroyed. I'm wondering does Thrawn even know the Emperor is dead? I guess if he was able to get in contact with Morgan they might've gotten some news about the galaxy. Also super random but you guys remember the Storm Over Ryloth episode from TCW where Ahsoka gets her fighter squadron killed? At the end of that episode she devises a maneuver to rotate Anakin's Venator on its side so that fighters can attack from the lower hangar. I was watching some stuff and stumbled on an interview where Filoni says he took that move from the Thrawn trilogy. He's been thinking about those books since back then which gives me a bit more hope of him doing those stories in live action. It seems like the flashback from last episode was also referencing that Ryloth episode but they changed all the details. Storm over Ryloth was actually a really good episode I actually knew about that like 12 years ago lol, I read the original Thrawn novels around that time, but one of those behind the scenes on SW.com had Dave talking about his inspiration for the Venator sideways maneuver. |

Episode 6 was the best the show has been yet, not gonna lie I was sort of hoping he would just escape this episode and be gone before Ahsoka even arrived. We all know he’s gonna get back to the Galaxy, I don’t see a point for a showdown in the middle of nowhere first. I do get the feeling Baylon and Shin are gonna end up siding with Ezra and Ahsoka somehow. Or maybe just Shin will while Baylon goes and does whatever he’s trying to do.
I like Lars Mikkelsons voice as Thrawn, but I’m not sure of him in live action. Would probably have preferred a taller, more built actor. It’s fine, but still. Also I very much prefer the solid red eyes rather then giving Thrawn pupils, but I guess it makes it hard to see where he’s looking.
I wonder if Dave has the stones to kill off one of the major heroes… I honestly think it would be better that way, Sabine being the obvious choice here. It would be tragic, but I want Thrawn to have an impact. I don’t want some weird battle where everyone lives and goes back to the galaxy in their own ways.
Very much liked the lore additions with the Nightsisters.

Ok this may be thinking a little too much…. But where are the women? Is Thrawn the only Imperial that isn’t “woke” per say in the Disney canon? Wouldn’t the Imperials try to procreate and what not if they were stranded for 10 years. Just a random thought.
My biggest criticism is that I’d rather Ezra have been Thrawns ally.

That's a good point actually, at some point in the 10 years the crew could have realized they would be stuck there forever and decided to just settle on the planet and start a new life there. But maybe Thrawn didn't allow it and convinced them they would be leaving eventually. Also agree, I would've liked to see a reluctant truce/alliance between Thrawn and Ezra. Him immediately going to live with turtle people that don't even speak English is kinda lame lol. Honestly it might be worth it to cover this time period in a book or something. They could make it so interesting things happened and it wasn't totally uneventful. It'd be cool if they made it a story from the perspective of the crew and had them all descending into madness or something |

Won’t get to watch the new episode this week, so probably end up watching the last two back to back. I just hope there’s something substantial… like seriously we know Thrawn is gonna get back to the galaxy. What the hell is gonna happen? I think Sabine, Ahsoka or Ezra should die to make Thrawn seem like an actual threat. My guess would be Sabine is most likely, but Ahsoka is way past her prime. Regardless Dave isn’t gonna do any of it… |

I’d would be fine with either of those 3 dying here in all honesty… I feel like if Zeb was in the series he’d be the sacrificial lamb. Honestly I really just don’t like Ahsoka in this time period that much. She shouldn’t have made it past ANH.
I like Ezra’s actor a lot so I’d rather he live. Sabine dying though would maybe make Ezra go all dark side and that could feed into those fan theories of him being the first Knight of Ren that has been theorized since TLJ.

The main reason I don’t like Ahsoka is that she constantly acts like a Jedi but then has to say “I’m not a Jedi anymore”. She did it in Clone Wars, Rebels, Mando, and now here. Like enough woman… you clearly still subscribe to the Jedi teachings. It actually really irks me whenever she uses that line. You are no Revan or Jedi Exile from the EU. Hell I’d say Quinlan Vos acts less like of a Jedi then her.

Did not like episode 7. So annoying how inconsistent Filoni is. Episode 6 was incredible in all aspects, pacing, story, dialogue, lore, action. 7 is a total step back. Not sure if this or the flashback episode is my least favorite.
New Republic and Hera scene was cringe as all NR scenes are. What a surprise the annoying af Resistance kid’s dad is also annoying af. C-3PO cameo was lame, another Filoni shoehorned cameo god damn this man cannot help himself.
And the rest of the episode did not really progress anything. We didn’t learn anything, didn’t get any answers to our questions, no character progression either. And the battle scene was pretty dumb. They wrote themselves into a corner having just Sabine and unarmed Ezra having to defend villagers against an overwhelming enemy force. So as usual stormtroopers are incompetent.
But worse is they made Thrawn look dumb. Feels like the typical Thrawn move in Rebels and now here is to do something, have it go bad, then say actually that was good… Thrawn lost the battle here but tried to spin it like he was distracting the Jedi and wasting their time… Nah that’s not good enough for the master tactician he’s supposed to be.
And lastly I’m disappointed Ezra didn’t use his lightsaber. But the one positive I have is how good his actor is. It’s conflicting for me because I’m enjoying watching Ezra but I don’t really like that character.

Good episode, but a lot of how it holds up depends on what we get in the finale. I liked the sampling of Thrawn's tactical prowess and the set pieces. But the stakes don't feel real when I seriously doubt Ahsoka, Ezra, or Sabine will die, at least in this show. I guess it'll come down to Thrawn leaving an impact by demolishing some New Republic ships, but that's still underwhelming.
I want to see Ahsoka die at some point to Thrawn. That would be a good way to send off her character and really emphasize Thrawn's brilliance. Honestly, let another Ghost crew member die too, I just want to see Thrawn take down everyone lol
I'm a little surprised Thrawn hasn't left Peridea yet but I guess that's how the finale may open. Also that was cool to see Baylan send off Shin. I guess he realized Thrawn's just using him and Baylan would rather do things on his own.

Not sure how this episode is supposed to generate hype for the finale. It actually lowered my expectations for it. What even can happen next episode? Thrawn returns to the galaxy, destroys some NR ships caught off guard and what, invades Coruscant or something? Hard to say what direction this will go.
I could see Ezra not getting to return though given how many times he has said he’s excited to go home.. lol.
I just need to see some crazy new enemy introduced to make this worth it. Vong, Rakata, Grysk, Abeloth, something familiar from old EU. It’s frustrating when they give us little teases and make people come up with all these theories but ultimately it all goes nowhere. Apparently there was Zeffo writing in the last episode. Is that even going to lead to anything??

I don't think this would ever happen, but it would be crazy if somehow the characters came back from this galaxy and it was after the events of the ST...
It's tough for this show to set up a huge threat in the form of Thrawn and his Imperial Remnants when we know all of that is resolved by TFA. Like sure, TCW and Rebels had a similar dilemma, but they at least had aspects/characters that would remain relevant beyond their shows. With this, you have to assume Thrawn dies before TFA and likely Ahsoka or some of the Ghost crew. It seems bizarre to have them all around still during the sequels or beyond - some characters need to stick to just 1-2 eras in the franchise.
I guess we have to hope it's a just good story that helps out with the overall world building in Star Wars at the end of the day. But honestly, I hope after the Heir to the Empire stories wraps up, we can focus on shows/movies outside the Skywalker saga timeframe so they have more space to do their own thing and have higher stakes.

I know what you mean, this was definitely an underwhelming episode and it makes you wonder what the finale will do that's not predictable. An extragalactic threat would be cool and something I think is worth exploring. Not sure if we'll get that here though. What I'm also trying to figure out is if this finale will be the last we see of these characters before Filoni's movie? Or will there be a direct continuation of this in another show before then? Because I guess that would be a big cliffhanger for Filoni's movie to have Thrawn seize control of the NR and the heroes are still stranded in another galaxy. A little cheesy maybe, but if it's backed with Thrawn killing off some big players or something similar, that would help a lot. |

It's episodes like this one that reaffirm my belief you could probably trim a lot of the fat in the editing room and turn this into one big, if perhaps more satisfying, film. This just seemed like filler. Also I'm officially bored out of my skull with Ahsoka as a character. Her entire mood and disposition do not change in anyway. What's worse is I know Rosario Dawson is an excellent actress, so she's just being kind of wasted here. I'm with Obi on Ezra though, never bothered for his character, but the guy's actor makes me root for him lol

I'm with Obi on Ezra though, never bothered for his character, but the guy's actor makes me root for him lol I have seen that complaint about Ahsoka that she is too stoic and emotionless. I don't really have an issue with it because I guess she just grew up and isn't that kid from TCW anymore. Though it certainly doesn't help make me like the character. I thought even in Rebels she was basically a copy/paste of Luke. They have more or less the same character growth and share a conflict with Vader. Luke is also pretty chilled out in ROTJ. But idk this Ahsoka just doesn't feel fun or feel like she has a personality. I think part of what makes the best Star Wars characters as good as they are is their interactions, chemistry, and banter with other supporting characters. Without that they can feel a little boring. Filoni also seems to be adhering too close to the prequel Jedi with his version of Luke and Ahsoka. So again, kinda cold, emotionless, distant, etc. And no attachments of course. As much as I like the prequels, I would have to say Star Wars is better when it feels closer to the OT |

On EP 1, never watched rebels so this is a bit confusing. I know of Ezra and Sabine-ish but they aren't explaining what happened to Thrawn or Ezra very well, just some battle they both died from explosions in? I've only heard of Thrawn in the EU, and mentioned in another show about his "return".

I've only heard of Thrawn in the EU, and mentioned in another show about his "return". If you don't care about spoilers, in the series finale of Rebels, in his last ditch effort to save Lothal from the Imperial occupation, Ezra uses the force to have purgills (space whales) latch onto Thrawn's star destroyer and hyperspace them into the unknown region, which I guess they retconned to the new galaxy They said you don't have to have seen Rebels to understand the show but I'm not sure how true that is. I think some context is missing for sure. But they also made characters inconsistent with how they were in Rebels to perhaps have self contained motivations and dynamics within the show. So I think you can understand it in the sense that you get the overall plot. But people that haven't seen everything wouldn't get all the lore stuff. I think that's okay tbh like I don't think they need to make every installment of any franchise accessible to people jumping in for the first time. I would say it is better to reward the people that have been following for a long time and for the new people, if they are confused they can either catch up or just watch anyway for the spectacle over the content |

Here we are once again… Smh. Did not like the finale at all. Literally 3 seconds out of the whole thing that made me feel anything and that was Baylan standing on the Mortis statues. Speaking of, I completely forgot about him and Shin. Both were badly utilized.
For the rest of the episode, I was just bored. It was just action scenes with unremarkable choreography and set pieces. I would say Ezra hard carried this and the last episode which is funny given how much I disliked that character during Rebels but the actor here is really good. I am curious where he got a kyber crystal. Huyang just has extras lying around? Kinda undermines the whole journey that is a Jedi obtaining their crystal but whatever. Honestly would’ve rather Sabine just return his saber to him.
They made Thrawn and his troops look like utter buffoons. It was embarrassing. Imperials pose literally zero threat in all Filoni content, just fodder for the good guys to mow down. Why does it matter if Thrawn goes back to the galaxy? He is an idiot and his stormtroopers suck. The NR can easily destroy him based on how he’s been portrayed.
My biggest problem with the episode though is it just feels like nothing happened. The entire season feels like a waste of time and just filler for not even sure what exactly. A season 2? I don’t want to watch a season 2 of this. They should’ve had Thrawn return to the galaxy in episode 4 and the remaining episodes are about dealing with him. I think worse than the lack of any plot progression is the list of questions left unanswered:
- Who is Baylan? Why did he turn to the dark side?
- Who is Shin? Why did she join Baylan?
- What power was calling to Baylan?
- What is Thrawn’s goal?
- What is in the containers they were loading?
No reason not to answer these questions other than to prolong people’s Disney+ subscriptions. And the worthless Anakin cameo at the end… Jesus. I am just imagining Filoni finishing typing the script and leaning back in his chair with a smug grin on his face thinking he actually did something lmao

I guess I’ll rate the episodes but they may not be fair since I’m only going off what I remember from a single viewing. 6 is the only one I watched twice.
1. 7/10
2. 7/10
3. 7/10
4. 7/10
5. 5/10
6. 10/10
7. 4/10
8. 3/10
There might be an 8 or two in the first four, I remember enjoying them overall but not every detail. I am surprised (and disappointed) that it wasn’t 7 that was my most disliked but the finale. I think I actually liked the space battle in the beginning of 7, it was fun. Man I am just thinking though how many times did they have the ship get damaged causing them to get stuck in one location? Very lazy writing.
I don’t think I would rate this show higher than Mando S1 or S2. The first four episodes I thought put it on the trajectory of being better but they kinda fumbled the bag with the second half. Maybe individual episodes beat some of the Mando episodes but as a season overall, no.

Just remembered wasn't Sabine avoiding telling Ezra how she made a deal with the Empire to save him because he might've been upset at how that undermines his sacrifice? Literally was not addressed at all.
And Ezra making his escape off screen is so disappointing. He just gets in the shuttle and is somehow able to return to the NR fleet without any trouble.
Im also wondering why Sabine doesn't have a jetpack. That would've made the Force jump scene easier. Picking up the lightsaber is fine but I don't like that she was able to push Ezra that far.
There is also zero chance for them to do anything satisfying with the Baylan character without a recast. Way too many loose ends left here. Should've made this season more self contained without necessitating a second one. I'm guessing it's supposed to lead to Abeloth? I don't even want to think about how bad Filoni's Abeloth adaption is going to be. I think I'm going to read the Fate of the Jedi books instead to get her story

Hmm so I just watched episodes 7 and 8 back to back so they kinda flow as one to me. I will say there was a lot of fat in the show overall, there’s probably like 4 episodes worth of content if you were to do some trimming for the significant bits. A lot of parts where you knew no one was gonna die and had pointless action. This season really is just setup for the larger conflict though.
I really like the potential of Thrawn, I doubt we will see him much more until the film(s?), I imagine he’s gonna operate in the shadows for quite some time while he unites the Remnant. I do wonder what is the cargo he brought back with him? Surely it’s not just for the mothers? Although there was a quick almost throwaway line where Ezra said he found the mothers and woke them up. I wonder if there’s just thousands of more Nightsisters “asleep”? Regardless the Nightsisters are now a faction within the galaxy again and I think that’s cool.
I like the Nightsister promotion ceremony, it was a little weird but a nice callback to the Ventress one. “Blade of Talzin” is weird though. Surely someone owned it before Talzin? Although at the same time I get the impression that the highest Nightsisters are pretty much immortal…. So who knows?
Let’s see… I liked Ezra’s lightsaber building, a nice homage to Kanan. Also the Ezra actor is absolutely fantastic. He has executed the Ezra mannerisms and body language to perfection. That’s someone who really took the time to study the animation. Which is a contrast to Ahsoka imo because she seems a lot different then the animations to me.
Curious to what Baylan is doing. I think he’s trying to access the World between Worlds? And that’s what he means by true power. It would make sense with all the Mortis stuff we are seeing. I get the feeling that planet may be an origin point of the force.

I will admit this will make the sequels more believable to me overall. If Thrawn lays a beating on the New Republic with minimal resources like he did in the EU that will really make the New Republics state of affairs in the sequel trilogy, a lot more believable.
They have to recast Luke and Leia though. I’m 100% fine with Alden and Donald as Han and Lando respectively.

I don’t like Ahsoka beyond TCW season 5 Imo she should have never made it past TCW. That’s how I’d have written it to influence Anakins fall personally. After that the best case scenario for her story would have been Vader killing her. Which is basically what happened until you know… |

3. Ahsoka
4. Kenobi
5. Book of Boba Fett
Although idk looking back I may have liked BoBF a little more than Kenobi. I feel likes the high of BoBF we’re higher than Kenobi. Although I always have to think of it in a weird way because the two best episodes had barley anything to do with Boba which is why it ends up last.

After that flashback I wish we had a live action TCW, I like how kept with the original look of clones somewhat if I'm not mistaken. The clones felt like they were out of Attack of the Clones. I thought the flashback was decent, my friend said it had a deep meaning but I didn't get all that. I just saw Ashoka running around asking questions in some dusty planet I would never battle on. It did really make me think when I saw the wounded clones, so sad they were made to just be soldiers and not actual beings. I'm still surprised at times the Jedi were cool with fighting alongside programmed human biologics who are basically slaves sent to fight until death. I know clones went to the bar so I'm thinking they got paid. Not like they'd have critical skills with money imo, they only think of fighting. Surprised the jedi don't see it for what is is. It was a very crucial point in time though, a giant army conveniently being amassed. Did you guys see any symbolism in the flashback? I know the place Ahsoka met Anakin, Yoda has gone there too.

This show had such a feeling of "Wait, that's it?". Feels lame just having Ahsoka and Sabine have a status quo swticharoo with Ezra. Whole show just feels like some overlong prologue to the actual story. The fact Ahsoka doesn't even have any well defined character arc also hurts here, especially when the Anakin episode treats it as though she actually has one (she really doesn't). It treated it like she'd lost faith or came at a crossroads with herself, but the truth is she's just boringly stoic. Tragic really as Rosario Dawson's a really good actress. Also scripts for this always feel a bit lacking. There's just a lack of charm and charisma here. Guess Huyang was a nice addition though. My guess is they may pull the trigger and recast Baylon. Kind of surprised he and Shin didn't get unalived in the end.
I can't tell if this will get a second series. I know Mando is getting another series, so maybe this will to set the stage more for Dave's movie. Seriously though, just recast Leia and Luke now. I'm a big boy now, I can take it lol Just feels wrong to have something major like Heir to the Empire happening and not having the big names involved here.
I guess it wasn't awful, but really I think this should've been edited down into a film. Probably would've worked better. It would at least solve the paving issues at play here.

it’s been quite a while. I’ve been pretty good, how about yourself?
