OK, Baylan’s quest aside that was a pretty satisfying finale.
I like that they had Huyang give Ezra (& us) the 411 on why Ahsoka and Sabine had a falling out during her first go at Jedi apprenticeship (and also that it was done in an efficient manner). I was tempted to do the eye roll over Sabine’s sudden Force mastery but I think she was fueled by first Ahsoka’s and then Ezra’s faith in her coming through when she was needed. Ahsoka’s telling her to help open the fortress door like there was no question she could just worked for me. Sabine’s getting Ezra on that ship so he could finally go home was also satisfying and helped her atone for her earlier selfishness, especially when she chose the difficult path and went back to help her master.
I think Thrawn's use of the Nightsister's magic first and foremost to stall Ahsoka & company pretty much confirms my suspicion that his forces were not as great as it appeared. Giving Morgan Elsbeth the Savage Opress treatment wasn’t too surprising but I didn’t expect her to be left behind & ultimately die. But it demonstrated Thrawn’s cold, detached methods so I was good with it - plus she got to wield a neat magical sword lol.
I expected Shin to be shortchanged In this finale but I was hoping for an answer (or at least a better clue) to Baylan’s quest rather than more questions. Understandable given the timing of RS’s death but even if he hadn’t died it would have been disappointing. Where both of these characters go from here will be interesting.

Morgan, congratulations! You almost got them.
Buffinator nailed it.
Did what it had to from a plot perspective. I would have preferred some more pieces to the puzzle of both Baylan and Shin but they are set up (hopefully) for the kind of really intricate arcs going forward that I want them to have. I do feel Thrawn needed a bigger win, this was again just 'okay we're just gonna stall for time' and I think that's a little weak. The Sabine moment is just okay. I don't mind her having force sensitivity, but I do mind how it played, and the fact that she just immediately can now push Ezra for example. Overall positive feelings on the show, but 4-6 really carried it. Hoping Season 2 follows those episodes in allowing for character depth.

Hands down the final episode had the best lightsaber fights in the entire damn series that was a freaking epic showdown. 
Agreed, although when the Nightsisters were giving Morgan her power up I couldn’t help thinking ofHands down the final episode had the best lightsaber fights in the entire damn series that was a freaking epic showdown.

Agreed. I never thought I needed a Morgan Elisabeth figure. But I think I do now after that episode.Hands down the final episode had the best lightsaber fights in the entire damn series that was a freaking epic showdown.
While there’s definitely room for the wandering bounty Hunter adventures of the Mando and the spy thriller of Andor; this Ahsoka series is the groundwork of the epic space fantasy story that Star Wars has been missing since Disney took over.
It isn’t perfect. Star Wars has always been rough around the edges since the OT. Filoni is a little heavy handed at cribbing from other stories. I have had my fill of Ahsoka the White since the first scene with that costume. But this has all the necessary elements and is likely the best possible space fantasy story we can get out of this generation of creators at Lucasfilm. And it was fun.

Pretty darn good. Cool saber battles. Nice emotive moments. Music was grand. Sabine using the force is ok with me.
Not enough Baylan.
8/10

Is Luke in the finale?
Yeah I think that must have been Rosario's stunt double doing most of the fighting against Morgan, because the speed and finesse got turned up to 11 compared to what we saw from her earlier in the series. And that whole fight was just fierce as hell.Hands down the final episode had the best lightsaber fights in the entire damn series that was a freaking epic showdown.
And loved seeing Sabine going with the lightsaber/blaster combo at the end as well.

After this finale my most wanted figs are narrowed down to Artisan Sith Ani and Thrawn...and that's it.
But it is hilarious to think Death Troopers are actually kinda useful for once when they are...dead, technically.

Apologies in advance folks, the lack of resolution thanks to an assured S2 broke any positivity with me on this one:
- A bit too much of the Last Jedi "characters making bad decisions" going round this series.
- Both Sabine and Hera do not know how to enthusiastically react to seeing their long lost (and possibly dead) friend after decades (?) of displacement.
- Some tighter editing and plot unpredictability could have helped.
- Morgan Elsbeth suddenly gets Jedi-toppling fighting skills after joining the Brotherhood Without Banners.
In Mando Season 2 Morgan had already demonstrated her ability to go toe-to-toe with Ahsoka so why the eye roll now, especially after the Nightsisters imbued her with the Gift Of Shadows and gave her the Blade of Talzin?

Because this is a textbook definition of someone disliking something because someone wants to dislike something.

Somehow he forgot that Nightsisters are force sensitive.
It’s a real shame that Asajj Ventress could never go toe to toe with Jedi.
Palpatine must have just orchestrated the genocide of the Nightsisters for ***** and giggles, not because Mother Talzin was actuallg a serious threat to him or anything.
