Really leaning heavy on OT tropes, eh?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

PART 3 = Time to Fly

Purgill nice.

Sabine and Ahsoka getting reacquainted. Whoever Cast Sabine has done a great job IMHO!!!

Mon Mothma getting some air time. Ahsoka jumping out into space reminded me of GG3.

This show is good star wars fun.

I do think you'd struggle if you had never seen Clone Wars/Rebels

Now that was great. You’re thinking this is a bit too goofy then you remember hey did this in rebels too!
Meaning Ahsoka in space mainly.
But the entire space battle and chase was pure rebels / clone wars vibes.
Loved it.
The WWII fighter plane design in Shins attack group could have been cringe. This series space Vespas.
Thankfully they were awesome.
Design and purpose heritage too. Goes all the way back to them using WWII fighter footage for the space battles in ANH and ROTJ

Ahsoka realising what we need right now, drops the master apprentice dynamic and flips it and asking Sabine what she needs during the dogfight. Is that’s more like Ahsoka :)

Glad there’s a bad vibe between Shin and Morgan. Shin wasn’t buying her crap from the outset. But the bitchy tete a tete between them here was great.

Why wasn’t there more Baylon in this one? This ep could have been longer in fairness.
And that planet seems familiar.
Kevin Kiner is crushing it with the music. He did a fantastic job all throughout here.
Watched the end credits properly this time.
Does sorta suggest what’s coming but again it would need multiple seasons to do it any justice.

Loved this episode

Ahsoka does come from a strange line of Jedi

Yoda> Dooku> Qui-Gon> Obi-Wan> Anakin> Ahsoka> Sabine line is certainly unconventional as Huyang put it.

Good catch on Reddit.

Senator Xiono is the father of Kaz, the protagonist in Resistance. Despite the fact we almost never saw or heard him, he was pretty interesting for being anti-Resistance, viewing them as a group of extremists inflaming relations with the First Order.

It was cool to have that connection to a show that most forget about!

Why did Sabine have to move the ship to pick her up? Why didn't she just Mary Poppins it?

Blindfolded training.
Dogfight was trench battle
Shut down droid in the back right of the cockpit (ESB)
Forest landing was the space worm landing

What else did I miss?

The damaged ship drifting looked really cool btw.

This show is really hitting the spot for me. My expectations were unrealistically high going in. And so far I'm satisfied. It's not a perfect show, to be sure. But the things that work, the magic, far outweighs the negatives.

I'm so happy! :heartbeat:

Does this make more sense to you now?

Really glad they named a system “Denab” so I would constantly hear “Taanab”; Tatooine/Dantooine school of planet naming there.

That last shot of Skoll felt less foreboding than it did "Ray is done acting and is wondering why the camera is still rolling."

The Jedi are known for being charismatic conversationists.
