Yeah.. episode 6 was a bit of a dud compared to the last two. C3PO showing up on behalf of Leia was a nice touch, feels to me like this is just giving the fans a chance to wrap their heads around seeing Leia back in Star Wars, I wonder if she'll show up in the next episode or if we have to wait until the next season or Filoni movie.
The episode as a whole just felt like filler though and wasn't at all what I was expecting after just being introduced to Thrawn last episode. Maybe that's partly the fault of the director for the episode and her pacing, but the whole thing just seemed slow without moving anything important forward. Also we all understand that there's always some elements in Star Wars for the kids but these turtles are taking up way too much screen time IMO.
Baylan's single minded focus on whatever it is he's sensing in this new galaxy is the only thing that kept that episode from completely sliding off the rails for me. This guy has delivered every time he's on camera. Can't wait to see what it is he's looking for.
Ahsoka and Sabine need to really bring it next season IMO.. I don't know what it is but both performances are missing the mark for me. Both just feel.. wooden? Also not to pile on but I was hoping for better combat sequences in this show. A lot of sloooow fights. Bring back the Choreographer guy from Episode 3 plz.
