And another thing, a few pages back I was a little pissed about them introducing Ashoka because I know nothing about her from the cartoons and I was worried that Star Wars would fall into its notorious pitfall of requiring its viewers to be familiar with all of the ancillary material for anything to make sense.

Star Wars is notorious for this and it drives me nuts.

However, this show, at least in this episode, very successfully and intelligently dodged that bullet. I dont need to know anything else about her for everything to make sense and for the story in the current episode to continue and move forward.

They made her an effective character instantly. Perfect. And if some of the fans got more out of that than I did then fill your boots, but I thought it was perfect. I have no qualms against fan-service as long as it doesnt come at the detriment to the ultimate goal and adds to the product rather than becomes distracting.

I also like that the Mando doesnt know much about the Force. Lets keep that mysticism where it belongs!

Amazing episode. These guys can keep up the great work!
