As we’re ~12 hours away from Episode 4…

For those of you who liked the show so far, what are you hoping to see happen tonight? Which characters do you want to see in the spotlight? What are some plot developments you think would create more intrigue/excitement?

The thing I want the most in episode 4 is that we need to see The Sith Lord, and not just a tease like the end of the first episode but an actual scene. Maybe that scene from the trailers of him confronting the Jedi in the forest, or some other scene but we need actual interactions and dialogue with some of the cast. I also want to see Mae and Qimir in more of the spotlight as I find them more compelling than the Jedi we’re following. They also need to continue doing more to differentiate how the Jedi work in this specific era compared with what we know they become during the prequels as the show seems to be poised to explain how the Jedi became that. Even though I like the show I think it will fall apart if the answers to the mysteries aren’t satisfying or compelling and I think they need to have the 4 Jedi Mae wants to kill actually to have done something terrible enough to warrant wanting revenge. Making it a misdirect or some trick by the Sith to make Mae think they killed her family would be really unsatisfying to me because it would be way more compelling if Mae does have legitimate justification for wanting revenge on them.
