I just hope the show doesn't go too hard with the "girl power" theme. An Ahsoka/Sabine/Hera teamup is fine, but just don't force it. But it's disney so.....
I also hope that Thrawn actually gets a decent amount of screentime and isn't underused.
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.

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.
The exact dialogue from Skoll pertaining to Thrawn's return was:
For some, war.
For others, a new beginning.
For us, power. Such as you've never dreamed.
The first two are pretty self-explanatory. The last... I'm not quite sure.

Same. 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.
