I really liked the episode, I wanted way more Anakin in it.
One of the brilliant things. When Anakin fought Ashoka the first time, he fought with a lot of finesse, and a lot like we saw him in Clone Wars.
When Vader arrived his style changed to a power style, where he was just trying to beat down Ashoka's defense. You could feel the rage and hatred.
They could have spent a lot more time with Ashoka confronting her choices to leave the order and Anakin to get real closure.
I loved the flashing to Vader's armor, and I loved the change in Anakin's face and the yellow eyes.
I'm glad they bought Hayden back here and in Obiwan, and let him play good Anakin and Vader. With Filoni's writing, he's just better then George's faster and more intense Hayden advice.
The other thing that was weird. We started on Ryloth, and Ashoka's questioning about losing all those men because of her orders mirrored the episode in Clone Wars where she lost all of her clone pilot squadron.
