As expected, Lars was fantastic as Thrawn. Wasn't a fan of his look, but that's a small gripe in the scheme of things.
Originally posted by ZenwolfBaylan doesn't care about Thrawn's agenda. He has his own personal motivations in mind.
How does Baylon's motivation make sense? He wants to stop war, so he wants Thrawn to...wage war?
...Though it obviously won't pan out for him in the end. The path to 'ultimate power' seldom does in SW.
The episode was good, but Sabine is honestly a shit character at this point. All of her scenes fall laughably flat. I got absolutely nothing from the Ezra reveal either.
Thrawn stole the show as most of us thought he would. And clearly his "Night Troopers" have all been resurrected as zombie things by the Nightsisters (I think that's what they were teasing with Marrok's death.) Also curious why Thrawn never made an effort to kill Ezra, given that he clearly knew his whereabouts the entire time?
I still maintain that Baylan is easily the best new character we've gotten in canon. It's a real shame that we'll only get one season with him. 🙁

It kind of reflected her fight with Maul at the Siege of Mandalore (which they referenced), where she also gets disarmed but last second snatches her opponents Saber.

You mean how they didnt hide his belly !
Originally posted by juggernaut74Personally, I hope they just give him a proper death this season. Ray has just done such an epic job with Baylan's character, and I would prefer for that to not be potentially cheapened by a recast.
If Baylon survives season 1(which I doubt he will)do you think Disney would recast or just write him out of the story? Personally I like the character and hope they would recast being he's not as iconic as Leia.
Originally posted by Darth ThorNah, I don't mind dad-bod Thrawn. The Nightsisters might have just conjured a few cheeseburgers for him over the years, and I'm fine with that. It was more the blue skin CGI -- something about it just seemed off to me. He looks like if Elon Musk were a frost giant.

But again, that's a small gripe in the scheme of things. Lars is perfect for the role.

If he doesn't die by ep 8, I hope they recast, good character to just let die off screen.
Gerard Butler and Clancy Brown would be decent recast picks. Joe Manganiello and Kevin Durand have even more imposing statures, but acting skills are lesser.
Originally posted by RobtardClancy is already playing a character in the Ahsoka show (the Governor of Lothal, think he was in the first episode.) So it can't be him.

I do think Gerard Butler could be a really good alternative actually. But I don't see Baylan's character surviving this season, so there shouldn't be a need for a recast anyway.

Ah, had forgot. Damn.
Good ep, didn't expect Ahsoka vs Baylan to happen so soon again. Ezra also did good vs Shin while not even harmed but then he was knocked out against the wall like that lmao... Well I suppose he didn't have the chance to get much stronger during his exile.
I'm also interested in seeing what Skoll is up to now, didn't expect him to outright leave the emperials and Shin to pursue his goal
Newest episode was utter shite. Filoni can't create tension even if his life depended on it.
Unless the season finale somehow turns this season completely around (very little chance of that) this is yet another SW disappointment. Slightly better than Mando season 3, but nowhere near as good as Mando season 1 or 2. And it doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Andor.
