Theory going around that she wiped pershings mind under orders as Gideon doesn’t want the republic getting their hands on or his mind back into his work


I can’t think why else she would turn that mind flayer machine all the way up

My read on it the scene was that, yes, she's still working for Gideon/The Empire/First Order. Still not sure about all her motivations but I imagine all of that will become clear as we go on.

This show has earned my trust. I'm willing to go along with this side plot for a bit.

We'll have to wait to find out.... but again I really don't think this was a "side plot."

I'm not sure what to call it. A 40 min out of the blue insert that means....something. One of the oddest story beats and edit choices I can recall in my time watching TV. Well not really though right? They did the same thing in Bobba Fett huh? Paste a new story in the middle of another one. I don't think it works but who am I?

What you call it is irrelevant. I'm along for the ride.

Ok

Just to reiterate:

I have a little bit of faith in the people running this show that there will be a payoff

They saw Andor and said, “Hey, we should try that!” but lack the talent to pull it off.

Last Episode
Meh

so it's the main plot?

Getting to see the rise of the first order wouldn’t be a side plot.
Star Wars In anll its forms is meant to seen as one story and always had. They’re just doing their take on the MCU (despite them doing this before the mcu was a thing)
Remember we don’t have an end point for this series whereas we do for andor.
So there’s all the room to play in that they want.

If rebels and indeed clone wars taught us anything, it’s that there’s no throwaway or filler episodes. It all does something important down the line.


The first episode of Rebels featuring the space whales, was widely criticised as pointless and futile. By the end of the series we knew that to be wrong.


Y’all just aren’t ready for long form storytelling anymore

No dime. No matter what this "means" later on makes this episode enjoyable to watch.

Has nothing to do with the greater story, dime. It was just poor storytelling

If it’s not some kind of subplot, then it’s pointless and has no business in the season. If it doesn’t move the overall story along, why is it there?

I DO think it will be picked up on later, but would’ve been served better as snippets throughout multiple episodes rather than giving a whole episode to it. Really interested to see where it’s going and how this lines up with Djaren’s story.

I'm saying it does move the overall sorry along. I'm saying that maybe this moved the overall story along more than just about anything else.

If you wanted episode of the week as it like in the fist Season I’d say that’s fair enough.

It’s not that tho. Or poor storytelling. It’s just given a huge load of storytelling to go toward with and out from

You can have more than one story line in a show. Most shows do.

The foundling? Grogu gonna speak?

^^ I don’t remember any such complaints when Mando and Ahsoka and even Luke took over
Boba Fetts series? (There were no such complaints)

As this all unfolds, I think we're all going to see how interconnected all of this is. Mando, Bobba, Ashsoka, Skeleton Crew (remember once upon a time there was even going to be a show called Rangers of the New Republic), etc... all of it is tied together and leading toward a larger "storytelling event."

There will be odd choices along the way. Which I love. Favs has never been much for traditional structures in his original work. I think it'll all tie in and make sense as time goes on. But we'll see. Maybe I'm out of my mind.

The foundling


Flashback to the temple and fight and grogu being taken maybe?


Stay on coruscant but the whole episode is a flashback so we get to see who rescues him

Give it to me!
