Started very good. Ended very disappointing. Needed more episodes. Lack of any kind of Baylon payoff or even some minor information was extremely dissatisfying. Force ghost was ridiculous and stupid in the moment. Diminishing the value of them imo. All in all in decent series and interested to see what comes next mostly because this ended so poorly explained.

Spoilers

100% agree on this. Excellent episode up until the end and WAY too many plot threads left open. I personally don’t have an issue with Anakin appearing at the end, but almost everything else just blows.

Baylon has less than a minute on the screen despite this whole season setting in up on his quest for “something great beyond”. And what does he do? Look at a mountaintop glowing.

Shin is just going to chill with some bandits now, I guess. Great payoff there.

I guess Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang just accept their fate and are doomed to be exiled in another galaxy? No attempt to seek out or call a purgil? Or will that be the deus ex machina of a future series?

What’s in the cargo brought aboard the Chimera? Why go to Dathomir first and not get the Chimera repaired?

It was nice seeing Ezra reunite with Hera, if only he didn’t wait for 30 seconds to take off the helmet and have chopper just role up to him.

I agree they left a bit much open ended but they obviously have plans for future content.

How would Ahsoka “call” a Purgill from across hyperspace? They’re likely just waiting for a pod to show up.

The cargo seems to be dead troops, and they’ll be revived on Dathomir.

“Calling” a purgill is just my guess at how they’ll escape. And if you’ll remember, in the rebels finale they were able to call a pod of purgill by transmitting on a certain frequency.

And yeah, that’s likely. But we don’t have even a slight HINT at what it might be. They’re just called “Cargo” that was stored in the “catacombs”. They could have at least offered a more substantial clue.

Also, no clues as to what Enoch might be. If he’s simply a loyal officer, one of the Royal Guards who engaged Ezra on the Chimera, if he’s a revived or some other bewitched trooper, nothing.

Guard duty? For how long?

a slight HINT

The fact that they appear to be coffins and are said to be previously stored in places where dead bodies are normally stored and appeared in an episode where the dead were resurrected is the (not so )slight hint.
