![]() ![]() ![]() Since Baylan and Shin are now strays, his biggest weapon is powered-up Morgan, who remains loyal to the Empire and is willing to stay behind and get the rematch she wants.Īnd so we arrive at one of the most – if not the most – interesting duels in this season of Star Wars television, with Diana Lee Inosanto getting to shine once again as a veteran martial artist and stuntwoman. ![]() Again, Thrawn is just throwing everything he has at the Jedi in hopes of slowing them down just long enough to return to the known galaxy without extra passengers. Like in any notable work of zombie fiction, the shamblers aren't very dangerous alone, but a horde of them spells trouble. Fans of the Witches of Dathomir already had their suspicions about the weird looks of Thrawn's new troopers, and while we don't get full confirmation they had died before, seeing their corpses rise to keep fighting mindlessly wasn't much of a surprise if you're a Star Wars diehard. ![]() (Image credit: Disney)ĭo you know what this episode needed? Zombies! Well, not really, but we're thankful for them. We're here for an unorthodox group of Jedi Knights. As for Sabine, her physical performance underlines she still has much to learn, but the basics are there, and her Mandalorian experience is so useful that even Ahsoka asks her at one point to switch to blasters. After several episodes that looked perfectly fine and consistent, this is odd and made us wonder whether they've had to rush through the VFX and CG process for this one to miraculously meet the deadline.īack to the Jedi action: Ahsoka maintains a more defensive stance, slowly culling the enemy troops with graceful moves, while Ezra also gets to show off with his surprising Force-powered martial arts. This is especially confusing as Famuyiwa is one of these series' best recurring directors, but the final result simply isn't too great. Sadly, the use of the Volume (the LED screens tech they use for backgrounds) here and in some of the following scenes is among the worst we've seen in the Star Wars shows so far, so part of the immersion is lost. Inside the ancient structure below the Chimaera, things get more interesting as the three Jedi cut through a group of "night troopers" in style. The Chiss leader has more tricks up his sleeve, but first tries to wear the team down with a turbolaser bombardment that barely scratches them because plot armor (also called the Force in this universe).Īhsoka and Ezra battle together. With just two mounts, the Jedi trio set off to ruin Thrawn's long-awaited departure. Howlers once again prove to be the most useful creatures in recent Star Wars memory, only behind purrgils. The strike is a success, as their principal means of transport are deactivated, though Thrawn knows full well Jedi are extremely persistent, especially if they're related to Anakin Skywalker. Again, fans of the cartoons know this very well.Īll the bonding and reminiscing stops when a couple of TIE fighters – surely another calculated distraction by Thrawn – start firing at the Noti caravan and Ahsoka's Jedi shuttle. As Filoni has explored in depth in this show, such disagreements are almost unavoidable in a proper master-apprentice relationship and, at the end of the day, the White Jedi remembers that Anakin always stood beside her even when they didn't see eye-to-eye. Lady Tano seems to be above all the drama after her near-death experience and reconnecting with Anakin's teachings, so she's quick to forgive her apprentice's lowest moment so far. It's also about time that Ahsoka and Sabine Wren talked about the rift between them and the latter's big mistake. Sabine discusses her mistakes with Ahsoka. ![]()
