I loved this episode. The Yojimbo-inspired theme was neat and a good example of how this series, even though it’s a space western at its core, can successfully pull off diving into other genres for certain episodes.

Filoni took a huge gamble by revealing Ahsoka so early but I think it worked. Ahsoka’s white lightsabers look beautiful and Rosario Dawson’s casting was on-point. She has a reasonable resemblance to the character’s look and also nailed her mannerisms, so it was like watching the same Ahsoka we all know and love. The only thing that threw me off a bit was the length of her head-tails and horns, specially when the concept art showed they could have been bigger.

One think I used to love about the score is how it avoided most well known music themes, but I have to admit I got all emotional when I heard Yoda’s theme and especially Ahsoka’s theme from TCW.

I can spend hours and hours thinking of possible stories of how Grogu (I’m confident the name will grow on me) survived Order 66 and if he did witness other key events.

So hyped for Thrawn. Is he going to be a tease a for a spin-off series or will he eventually become a main antagonist for Mando? Also loved the Old Republic references.
