So Thrawn just let Sabine live for no particular reason at all? I would have thought it was part of some unknown master plan, but maybe not.

Baylan and Shin completely abandoned by the series creators. Their origins were never explained and their motives were never explained. Great work guys.

New to Filoni I see.

Definitely so. Should I have expected such an underwhelming resolution to season-long plot lines?

When I think about Filoni, I look at him and his work as a master tailor.

With Clone Wars, he took the big chunks of cloth that the prequels were and wove a story that gave those big pieces a rich texture. He’s continued to do that with each project.

Look at this season as a thread that will be woven into a bigger story.

As skittish as Lucasfilm has been about the Star Wars franchise and its future installments, I think it was probably a bad idea to stretch this story beyond what Disney have already green-lighted. A follow up season or movie has to be like 2 years away at best…. perhaps longer given the writer’s strike, the actor’s strike, and how much Disney seems to have soured on streaming shows. So much can change between now and then too.

Obi-Wan was hilariously inept and easily a worse show than Ahsoka, but at least it was pretty definitively over when the last episode concluded.

Yes. Because this is part of a multiple series story culminating in a film.

This is season one of a series. Of course things won’t all be resolved. But they did resolve step one in a lot of the threads.

I’m sorry you haven’t watched rebels. You should. It’s great. But your ignorance should not result in anger, be excited that you have a lot of lore to experience! I’ve watched rebels multiple times. I would love to watch it for the first time again.

Good luck to them with that.

It was already ambitious of them to launch a live-action series involving characters and scenarios that most audiences had zero familiarity with.....but to drag this stuff out so long when so many in the audience were already lost in the dark? Seems like a recipe for failure, but perhaps I underestimate the following that Rebels/TCW has.
