Pretty much the title of the review. I oddly found the opening 10 minutes of this episode far more intriguing and entertaining than everything else that followed.
I have...no idea what this episode's was trying to do. You can miss this episode entirely and you won't miss anything. Nothing of any real plot significance occurs beside slightly confirming an aspect of Sabine's character that has been teased since the first episode.
This episode reminded me of the run-of-the-mill rebel episodes where the crew engage in a bunch of rebel hijinks against the empire and then it's roll credits.
I feel like the episode wasted it's chance to pursue what Baylon is after, instead of continuing to lengthen out the mystery only to cram it in the very last episode.
Turns out the night troopers were just...your typical bad aiming stormtrooper. Nothing special at all.
Thrawn-the great strategist waits to the last possible second to load the nightsisters' mysterious cargo. Why? What was stopping him from doing this years ago? Him sacrificing his already dwindled forces on a "oh, I was just distracting the enemy so they wouldn't stop the cargo transfer-that was my plan all along." Lmao. Man, you can sense the butthurt in Thrawn at this scene, because this obviously isn't was NOT the plan. Not to mention Hmm...let's see, Thrawn, if you hadn't gone out looking for a fight against Ezra-who was just minding his own business in the first place, you wouldn't had lost those forces since literally none of your adversaries are aware of your mystery cargo that you're "distracting" them from.
-_-
And this guy's calls himself a "strategist."
In fact, the more I think about it, what's the deal of wanting Ezra, Sabine and Ahsoka out of the picture? Thrawn said it himself, if he up and leaves with his ship they'll be stranded there forever. After sending Sabine on her way to find Ezra he could have just let her go, no need to send Baylon and Shin to go after her on the off chance they'll find Ezra in time before his ship departs the galaxy. This makes no sense. Ezra could have been ANYWHERE-on the opposite side of the planet, and Sabin manages to find this dude in like a DAY?? Is this planet's the size of the Vatican?
Another thing that doesn't make sense is Baylon. His motives are so obscure they could wind up being anything. Is he on the quest for the best tasting French toast? Who knows?
Its seems his goal was to venture to this other galaxy from the jump, but he's never quite clear on why that is. He's searching for a super powerful force being or something.
I would write more to this review, but there really isn't much else to say.
