As the first episode in a long while, this was a rather pointless one. It felt like those old cartoons where the main crew would meet another crew that reminds everyone a lot of the characters that we love. I had a hard time picking out the "plot" of this episode, and instead of giving a little development to one of the minor characters, it didn't give a lot to the overall narrative. The only sign of a connection is the appearance of Grand Admiral Thrawn, who has been absent for a majority of the episodes. I am missing a little more action from his side, but it was cool to see him in this episode, and to understand that he has a little bit of a background with some of the characters in the rebellion. There were some nice moments of humor, but the overall episode just fell flat. It was hard to find a plot in the thing, and the characters that our crew interacted with weren't as interesting as the writers would want them to be. The space battles were kinda good and there were some smart moves utilized, but the overall episode didn't have anything that was able to really get my attention locked that long.
