Just watched the episode. Was that a little Jurassic Park reference when they’re meeting the Bindu? Kanan says “He’s here.” and then the broken halves of the thumper are thrown between him and Ezra?

This was a good episode. I’m with both of you with regards to Maul. It’s annoying that they brought him back, but I’m glad that they’re at least doing something good with him now that he is. I can excuse a differing characterization considering he had basically no character in TPM and he also had many years of going insane on a junk planet to change from who he was in TPM to who he is now.

I’m digging the Bindu. I feel like Kanan is truly becoming a Jedi now: shedding the lies and corrupt decadence of the old Jedi Order and learning what it truly means to be a Jedi, a lot of which is thanks to Bindu’s wisdom as the middle ground between dark and light.

It was cool to see the transparent-domed astromech (which used to be R3s and are now apparently Lothal astromech droids), I always like seeing the hammerhead Old Old Republic ships (even if they’re not quite that old), and it was also cool to see a Mandalorian fighter again.

As for the big “who” at the end of the episode? I think Maul and Ezra saw two different characters on a planet with twin suns. Maul was looking for Obi-Wan, presumably, and Ezra was looking for the key to defeat the Sith.

I think we’ll see either this or this for Maul’s end (potential spoilers).
