It’s not like the proposition changes: Ahsoka and Sabine are behind Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) (and Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi)), and facing their opponents, but alone. Filled with incredible action sequences (the production is very expensive), the episode is another great moment in the franchise and in Ahsoka.

Sabine (Natasha Liu Brodizzo) is undergoing intensive Jedi training, with the usual anxiety and frustration of all apprentices, and Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) is now the calm, enigmatic Master. Huyang (David Tennant) is the teasing and sincere opposite of what Ahsoka is trying to do.

Hera Syndulla (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) tries to warn the New Republic that they are in danger and that Thrawn is returning, but the leaders ignore what is really happening, which leaves our heroines alone on their adventure, even as Chancellor Mothma (Genevieve O ‘Reilly) is the only one alarmed, the rest of the panel of senators are uninterested and don’t believe there are any Imperial sympathizers, insisting that all ex-Imperials are true to their oaths of loyalty. More so, they believe that Hera and Sabine are only interested in locating Ezra, who they assume is dead. Paralleling Andor and The Mandalorian all taking place at the same time adds to our frustration at how easy it was for the Empire to organize itself.

We get an emotional glimpse when Hera talks to her son, Jacen (Evan Whitten) and he says he wants to be a Jedi too, which goes back to the as-yet-unnamed Kanan Jarus, who Star Wars Rebel fans know is the boy’s father and who sacrificed himself for everyone. Hera smiles sadly and it’s a great time.

The only “problem” with the series so far: is that there are few episodes and there are no plot twists, no changes since we started. Here’s episode three and we only had 30 minutes for it, as if they were going to have 20 more to plot the narrative. There are only 8.

The adventure picks up speed when Ahsoka and Sabine discover that their enemies are building a hyperspace ring to find Thrawn. Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno) leads the charge and forces the Master and Apprentice duo to speed up their work. They get back together and act as a team to escape Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto). They find the Purrgils, who were last seen when Ezra and Thrawn disappeared and it is Huyang who explains that the hyperspace ring Morgan Elsbeth is building is capable of jumping to a neighboring galaxy, with the help of Purrgils. They don’t have much time to react because Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) orders Hati to hunt them down, and that’s where we leave off. This, without much atmosphere, is in the middle of the action. That is, those who do not have a deep knowledge of what is going on, have the feeling that something is missing. Which is offset by the quality of action. I’m far from complaining! Sorry for those who need the “translations” of the YouTube channels, but you can be sure that soon everything will be compensated.
