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.
This kind of thing is all over the place in the comics, and we’ve very specifically seen Anakin/Vader do much more between the Clone Wars series and comics.
Haven't read the comics, I watched Clone Wars and don't recall nothing like that (don't say didn't happened)
Closest thing I can recall is Luke on Endor deflecting the lasers from the speederbikes.
In any case I didn't like it, lasers from ships are way more powerful than the ones from a rifle blaster and I can imagine a Jedi deflecting one shot, but not two waves of three space ships
I'm mostly fine with it. They were small fighters, it's not like she's blocking a turbolaser
