I really enjoyed the show and I’m looking forward to what comes next.
There were two things Nightsister related that have been bugging me about the finale. The first is why didn’t they sense that Ezra was aboard the Chimaera? I guess their Jedi radar has its limits in terms of range, or maybe they were too busy ordering stuff from IKEA to redecorate their cave on Dathomir lol. The bigger question I have is how were they unaware of the giant statues of the Mortis gods that were practically in their temple's backyard on Peridea? Or, if they were aware of them, why didn’t they tell Thrawn about them (especially after Baylan went AWOL and was headed in that direction)? If that area had strong Force ties (and a possible WBW entrance) surely they could sense that, right? RIGHT??My favorite bit from the finale was when Thrawn took the time to pointedly give Morgan a speech about (paraphrasing here) how Jedi should never be underestimated and that he himself will never again discount Jedi resourcefulness or allow one the chance to thwart his efforts. Aaaaaand... he goes on to end the episode by telling Ahsoka that their paths will not cross again and by not even bothering to account for Ezra's whereabouts. I'm sure none of this will contribute to his ultimate defeat.
Yes, the same Ahsoka who had already made an intergalactic trip without needing his "Ring of Sion." And the same Ezra who was now onboard Thrawn's star destroyer and escaping to safety by somehow taking a shuttle from the hangar without any alerts for Thrawn to notice.
Thrawn's little speech sets up his own self contradiction in the very same script. I continue to think this is intentional parody by subtext.
And Ezra wearing full trooper armor with helmet on a republic cruiser is he ******** lolThere were two things Nightsister related that have been bugging me about the finale.

As for Ezra escaping once they reached Dathomir, I can buy his biding his time and waiting for an opportunity to slip out once a few other shuttles started transporting cargo from the ship, then speeding away before anyone realizes things are amiss. We'll have to wait and see, but assuming the story continues I suspect that once Thrawn is made aware of a rogue shuttle he'll deduce that Ezra was on it (because it fits his M.O.) and is still a problem.
My takeaway from that Huyang/Ezra scene was that when the Jedi temple fell Huyang determined it was more important to save his lightsaber parts inventory than it was to save any younglings lol...

Agreed.And Ezra wearing full trooper armor with helmet on a republic cruiser is he ******** lol
What did you like about it overall?I really enjoyed the show and I’m looking forward to what comes next.
Yeah, I‘ve got nothing for that lol. Technically they’re not at war yet so I suppose they wouldn’t shoot at his shuttle without provocation and maybe his radio was out but leaving the helmet on?And Ezra wearing full trooper armor with helmet on a republic cruiser is he ******** lol
Only two!? Wow!There were two things Nightsister related that have been bugging me about the finale.
When they boarded the Chimaera they set their Force-sensing toThe first is why didn’t they sense that Ezra was aboard the Chimaera?
This one is trickier, so I'll just tie it to the same logic I proposed above: Perhaps there's a great degree of fear when it comes to the Mortis gods, and being able to get a beat on Ahsoka's Force energy is somehow tied to that. So that might make them want to avoid any mention to Thrawn about the potential power therein, keeping him from ultimately considering them disposable. Or maybe it's a dormant power that they are convinced no one can revive or call upon ever again.The bigger question I have is how were they unaware of the giant statues of the Mortis gods that were practically in their temple's backyard on Peridea?

It was either that or take the gear off and have to come out in his Underoos.And Ezra wearing full trooper armor with helmet on a republic cruiser is he ******** lol
Honestly a convo with Anakin about the negativity of the Jedi could turn south real quick lmaoSo Anakin shows up as a Force ghost to watch over Ahsoka, but not for his own son in the ST when Luke's suffering from a lack of faith in the Jedi?
I'm sure they'll be a Disney+ show to explain why he couldn't.
You are trying to communicate with people who seem to not actually be paying attention to the show.....its like banging your head against concrete my friend......Again, I think his primary focus was returning to his own galaxy so he was always prioritizing the use of resources (troops, equipment. etc.) toward achieving that goal. In the finale Ezra himself stated he never went anywhere near the Nightsister temple & Thrawn after arriving so he was no threat before now (but Thrawn kept tabs on him nonetheless). And yes, his sending only two TIE fighters to attack Ahsoka's ship WAS similar to his sending only two squadrons to support Baylan & Shin in the previous episode. You've interpreted that as not sending a sufficient quantity, whereas I think he didn't have that many remaining & was trying to leave that galaxy with as many of his loyal "real" troops as possible. If he had a vastly superior force (in terms of sheer numbers) he wouldn't have needed the witches to reanimate that last squadron of night troopers or send Morgan to her likely demise.
I think its been established in the films that only apprentices can see their masters......So Anakin shows up as a Force ghost to watch over Ahsoka, but not for his own son in the ST when Luke's suffering from a lack of faith in the Jedi?

Aside from what we thought of the writing, the acting, the plots, etc. I think we can all agree on one thing...the real winner here is Hot Toys, they're going to fire up those old Stormtroopers molds and make 62 different figures.

The way I interpreted all that was Thrawn realized his forces would never defeat the Jedi (because: history), so the most he could hope to do was delay them as long as possible.
Luke was never Anakin’s apprentice.I think its been established in the films that only apprentices can see their masters......
If you look at every force ghost we see, its always master and apprentices.....
Correct me if this is wrong?
This, pretty much.DAMN.
(spoilery review beware)
I wanted to write this review before reading any other comments that might take me off this wonderful high this show has been. Reading all the BS naysayers can really be a bummer, since what we have here is some of the best SW stories since the OT.
We have such amazing detailed character arcs paying out, in a way that keeps the adventure and wonder alive without much room for anyone to complain. Between the great acting, effects and score , I think this show was a tour de force (pun intended) of the SW Disney has been struggling to find. This series has been the almost pedect blend of adventure/fantasy/lore and yes, nostalgia.
The ending tied in so many much loved arcs from the SW universive in an almost perfect way.
The saber fights are what should have been in the PT, gritty, samurai like close combat duels that would give Errol Flynn a run for his money. I watched the finale twice already and with the exception of a few cuts, they seem natural and flawless. Organic is the word that comes to mind.
Our main character Ashoka had grown through the story back to the Jedi she was headed toward back in TCW. And most importantly, we see her master has been there behind the scenes , trying to make up for his mistake, and finish what he began. There is some trouble with this idea of course, but I am sure it will be worked out. Perhaps as a force ghost, you can only help in the student/master role. It does fit if you take that as cannon.
Sabine is finally moving away from the pretentious character we have always known i to a deeper more interesting hybrid of Jedi and Mandalorian.
Thrawn, while showing he is the master tactical leader he always was , has also shown he has changed into a more flawed and even angry despot. Who clearly is afraid of the Jedi.
We see Ezra as something more than the warrior Jedi, yet he maintains the mischief of his youth. IF I had a complaint, it would be to see more of Ezra and how he has changed.
That leaves us with the characters with the LEAST interesting end. Baylan ans Shin. The tragedy of Rays passing is made even more depressing seeing how such and interesting character may end up scrapped and reduced due to his demise. One cannot help but feel a bit cheated on this front, by dragging out that arc, we may never see what was really intended.
Shin, also a great character, was also sort of wasted, as we seem to have only gotten 1/4 at most of her tale.
However, it gives us something to look forward to. Ezra and Shin have alot of story yet to tell.
And DAMN, that score ......music can make or break film, and they have NAILED the score and cinematography....its just a beauty to watch and hear. (sound effects as well)
Its been a wonderful few weeks to be a 51 year old SW fan......so grateful to the folks at Disney for plugging away to finally get a show that hits ALL the marks so well.
Ok now to read all the trolls bashing this for internet points.....you cannot take away what was made here.
