What an absolutely lame penultimate episode.
-3PO cameo for no reason
-Omnipresent, infallible Leia with veto power over #### shes not physically involved in conveniently intervenes to save the day
-Not an ounce of tension in the ship chase through the debris field, sad rip off of ESB with impenetrable plot armour wasting of 15 minutes of the episode
-Ahsoka and Baylan swing sabers just because (when she could've dropped out of her ship closer to the turtle fight and avoided him entirely?..)
-Ahsoka has chance to finish off Baylan but won't .. cool
-Ezra refuses his lightsaber ala space bum Luke, despite a potentially dangerous situation.. Wait, don't you want your weapon to protect your friends? Nah, he's going to force Kung fu against an army with blasters and a dark jedi
-Snail turtles doing ewok stuff for comic relief from the ongoing comedy
-Ezra stalling the troopers with writing straight out of the sequel trilogy "wait! Let's...talk" " take us as prisoners!"
-Thrawn retracts assault teams AND the pursuit of her ship. But why? Why not take out their only means of getting to your space ring to spoil your departure and ensure that they're stranded on the planet? Isn't this guy supposed to be a cold, calculated strategist?
-Ahsoka has chance to finish off Shin, won't .. cool
-Ahsoka has chance to stop Shin, lets her go .. cool
-Ironically Thrawn admits to wasting time and sums up the episode as a whole
-No progression on the only intriguing plot thread going on at this point in Baylan's mysterious quest
Well ..... they'd better have quite the finale up their sleeve because that was a big fumble.
Really too bad after they had some positive momentum going from eps 5 and 6. I'm going to guess that this was the point when KK got back from the coffee run Filoni sent her on to keep her away from the set. Very sequel-y episode
