I gave episodes 1 & 2 a B- primarily for pacing issues.
Episode 3 resolved my pacing concerns (dialogue seemed to move at a better pace), and the characterization of Hera (the bit we got of her) seemed more consistent with my expectations.
Most importantly, this episode was fun. I enjoyed the interactions between Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang. The dynamics of the three are interesting, and Huyang’s pessimism in regards to Sabine’s training gives Ahsoka a chance to be more optimistic than we saw in her interactions with Hera. It’s a good dynamic, and I look forward to seeing it play out further.
Less play with Baylan than I would have liked, but overall I think episode 3 exceeded the expectations I had coming out of the first two episodes.
Not as of yet. As far as I can tell, everything regarding her training is a “between the series” thing. I do appreciate that they’re making very clear that she isn’t adept or particularly sensitive. I’m interested in seeing if they give us a “why” to Ahsoka training her.
They did have a toss-away line about “since [the old republic] it’s hard to find anyone [strong enough to traine]”…. Said to Hera…. Whose son is probably force sensitive…
