not enough Zombie Raiden in the last couple episodes. 2/10 stars
the dueling in this series has been good, it feels like the right mix of force-enabled acrobatic dancing vs. gritty whacking. Force creep is definitely a thing though, I thought Rey was gangster for lifting boulders in TLJ, but Ben can just stand there and toss them like a hailstorm. I'm not gonna try and headcanon my way into explanations about why they are OP now and weak later on, it's just the way these things go the longer a franchise lasts. the bar must be raised continuously and I think it won't be long before we see someone do the Starkiller capital ship pulldown.
I really did not like the transport chase though. a star destroyer is supposed to be the Empire's ultimate symbol of subjugation, yet even after Vader increases firepower all it does is dim the lights and lightly shake things over the course of like an hour. that's not even any sort of warship, why does it have planetary level shields and Falcon-like maneuverability?
