The Rebel attack on Lothal finally happened, but it was kind of an underwhelming attack as they sent X-Wings and Y-Wings against what looked like a fleet of 8 Star Destroyers, a bunch of cruisers, defense platforms and ground defenses.
Hera defeated the Imperial ace after the Ace disobeyed an order from Thrawn who opened fire on both Hera and him.
The animation for the battle was gorgeous as was the image of crashing X-wings after the attack failed.
Thrawn showed some tactical brilliance as he set up a nice bushwack after Hera got past the blockade.
The second part of the episode was mainly Hera evading capture and being chased down by Ruhk.
Is it weird that I can understand most of what Chopper is saying, when he was hammering on the crashed X-wings cockpit it sounded like Wake up . . . we have to go.
The fight between Ruhk and Hera was good, and eventually sacrificed herself so Chopper and the other pilot could escape.
Kanan decided to go back to rescue Hera but was intercepted by the Lothal Wolf, who gave a message to Kanan who asked "What he had to do" and "I understand", I have a bad feeling about that message.
Really well done episode as we head into the last 7 episodes sometime in December.
