Seems like all the 10 stars are purely because Hayden is back as Anakin and we get to see young Ahsoka. Outside of that, what else did this episode do to push the narrative forward?
You can sum up Anakin's lesson to: "if you die/give up, you lose," well duh, Anakin. I see you're still the boy who hates sand because it gets everywhere.
Hera's part of her episode feels like a drag. It's just incompetent politicians being incompetent for the sake of the plot. Hera's a whole general in the New Republic and yet the senators keep treating her rank like it's purely ceremonial and not without powers. In fact, why the heck is she even reporting to a group of Senators to begin with who keep accusing her of being out of order when she's literally doing what she's paid and expected to be doing?
Why is the NR so quick to sweep the threat of the Empire under the rug when the Empire was never truly defeated? They were just reabsorbed into the New Republic. Why is the NR seemingly as weak as the old Republic?
Star Wars-and other Sci fi shows/games what have you always keep up the trend of the "good guys" possessing incompetent leaders/few on resources/ limited support, whereas bad guys (who've already been defeated, multiple times mind you) have super determinate leadership, seemingly infinite resources/manpower. Like how did Morgan Elsbet hire out a small army of mercenaries, ships and supplies seemingly without much effort at all, whereas Hera a whole freaking general with a whole political power at her back, can't field no more than a literal handful of X-Wing pilots and apparently the ONLY New Republic scout pilot in the Outer Rim? Why???
Where tf are Hera's troops? She's a general, yes? LET HER LEAD TROOPS!! You're telling me the NP is so frugal (or so stupid) that they can't spare a garrison of actually soldiers to accompany Hera and Ahsoka on their investigation into Morgan Elsbeth??
I think later on it's explained that the NP demilitarized it's forces-why tf would do this?? A whole galactic society with no standing military force... hmm it's not like that failed before, right guys?
Why the heck did Hera tell Monthma that she had no evidence of imperial activity? They arrested a guy who was running off the book jobs for a known Nightsister imperial supporter, who escaped custody from the NP! Lmao. They have a former inquisitor's body. What else do they need?
Man, if it weren't for the nostalgia bait, this episode would be a 7 on a good day.
Rant over.
