^ Less is more in some cases.
Look at Vader's final scene in Rogue One: it was like 2 minutes in total, yet that still became one of the most memorable parts of the entire film. Don't get me wrong, I definitely want to see Thrawn get some screentime as well, because Lars is an amazing actor... But I'm also fine with quality over quantity.

Originally posted by Eli VantoI'm glad they're not just former inquisitors or sith but somewhat in the middle (albeit more leaning towards the dark side)
Same here. Apparently they are a new sect of Force users though. Not Jedi, Sith, or Inquisitors but something else. That's why Filoni chose to give them orange lightsabers.
It was OK. Very much a Rebels season 5 for better or worse.
Sabine is still an awful character. Her introduction with her ditching the celebration was pure cringe. And I'm confused by her being Ahsoka's padawan. Is she force sensitive now?
Ahsoka is also bland as hell. She's some sorta zen master now who occasionally throws out some platitude while smirking. That's it. That's her whole character.
Pretty much the only characters worth a damn are the two new dark Jedi. Skoll is excellent. Stevenson brings a real gravitas to the role. RIP.
Also, I'm disappointed that we have yet another story about finding a map that leads to some hidden character. This is, what, the third time now? And lightsabers are no longer lethal weapons. Yet again a character is stabbed but with little to no repercussion from it. Instead she's fine and ready to go within a few days.
Episodes were good, maybe a bit slow at times but good. I liked the coreography of the duels, especially in episode 2. Baylan Skoll looks like an interesting character, a shame he probably won't survive this season. I didn't like Sabine being an edgy teenager. Anyway i'm looking forward the next ep.

I have a feeling she both survived and recovered so quick due to some yet seen power or ability. They made a point to comment on her toughness.
If it goes nowhere and it's not touched back on, yeah, weird and lame.
I enjoyed both episodes.
Stevenson is great, by far the best character in this.
I like Dawson as Ahsoka, but I also didn't watch the cartoon start to finish, just some eps. So I don't have that to compare.
The main plot of 'the rush to find Thrawn ' seems rather lame on the surface. Hopefully it pans out.
Originally posted by juggernaut74The exact dialogue from Skoll pertaining to Thrawn's return was:
What do you guys think Skol meant when he said when they find Thrawn it will be war for some but for them a new beginning?
The first two are pretty self-explanatory. The last... I'm not quite sure.
Originally posted by ares834Same. I have no idea why Ahsoka would have taken Sabine as a padawan, when she has no discernible force talent. Seems like a ridiculous asspull to make her more relevant for whatever reason. /shrug

Either way, I hope the "Sabine-sass" goes away. The dynamic between her and Ahsoka already seems forced enough as it is.
It is pretty lame that they’re doing another search for a map. Like that hasn’t been done several times already (map to Luke skywalker, wayfinder to Exegol, etc). And I agree Sabine was annoying but I’m enjoying it so far and the story is interesting. Im very interested in Marrok and looking forward to learning more about him.
The end credits for ep.2 ambiguously lists Sam Witwer under the "additional voices" section:

Obviously the popular theory is that he is playing Marrok... A nod to Galen Marek/Starkiller, perhaps.
We'll see. /shrug
