Just finished the episode. I really enjoyed it. Ezra is going dark (the whole rescue at the end was very definitely an allegory for the path he was starting down) and I’m certain we’re far from “status quo” at this point. Loved the Y-Wings, loved that they finally tied them into the OT (from their “first appearance” in The Clone Wars, though it’s a shame they won’t get a ton of use out of them!) Especially enjoying the West End Games shout outs, too.
Did the holocron’s voice sound like Ventress from TCW to anyone else? I’m sure it’s not meant to have any connection to the character, but it could’ve been a neat little casting easter egg.
It is definitely Nika Futterman. I’m interested to see if it’s Ventress’ holocron or not.
I doubt very much that we’ve seen the last of it.
