the reveal of the master at the end? But why?

Until the end, where there was a dramatic change of tone, the episode reminded me a lot of those Ewok movies, Battle for Endor and Caravan of Courage.

Yeah so last night one of the writers for the show was sent to the slaughterhouse on Twitter to try to do damage control and engage with the fans/answer questions because the show hasn't been received well. When asked about the wookie jedi and why he just shows up dead.. she said the fight was filmed and left on the cutting room floor for pacing reasons. Incredible.

Also she was asked if Dave Filoni has any sway in regards to this show or whether he approves the scripts and she said yes he gets final approval on everything.. and then within 5 minutes that post was deleted (I like to imagine that Filoni or his people heard about it and were like "HELL NO take that down").
