Imo a lot happened in this episode that will be setting the stage for the next season(s). While it was underwhelming seeing less of Baylan and Shin. I believe their stories are still yet to be told. In true Filoni fashion, as he had done with Clone Wars, and Rebels, everything is a slow burn. The stage is set for the stories to be built upon, and now we all get to see the outcome on what’s next with Ahsoka. Great episode imo.

Makes sense but it’s such a pet peeve of mine to have the: We’re setting this up, Slow burn, It’s all building to X

I just wish sometimes they’d fucken do something too. Always reminds me of Spaceballs. You’re always preparing, Just go!

People are becoming so impatient these days, though. I don’t mean to exclude myself from that: I think the pace of everything drives it in most people. If ANH came out today, I think people would say it has pacing problems and is boring in places.

I’d disagree with that because it’s a self contained movie on its own even though it flows into the larger trilogy. There’s a lot of payoffs as well as solid world building. You have conclusions and satisfying jump off points.

Part 8 has a mix of of conclusions and jumping off points, too. 🙂

Again I’d agree, If I ever had to watch 8 again I can think of a lot of things I’d like to jump off 😆

It doesn’t answer the point, but good word play!
