I think Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll is probably one of the best characters in ANY Star Wars. He is awesome. RIP. 

Also Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati is really good. She gives off the feeling that she is gonna go on a murderous rage at any second really makes her character. 

Agreed. It’s a shame he passed. RIP.  I think Baylan is far more interesting than anyone else.

Because he clearly has an unexplored backstory that we haven’t had explicitly laid out for us in a level of detail that nobody asked for (as per so much SW seems to be now). And personally, I hope they leave it at that - leave some intrigue and speculation.

I hope they do as well. Knowing Disney though…

I think that’s a little unfair to Disney. Lucas gave us 3 movies of worldbuilding that went into far more detail than anyone wanted, long before selling to the house of mouse.

I like both of them so far.  The Ray has a presence about him in the role, he makes a very good Sith/bad guy... but I also think he'd have made a good Jedi as well.

I did think... 

Spoiler

... the lightsaber fight between him and Ahsoka was a bit clunky.  Not sure if it was designed that way or if it was just how Ray and Rosario are.  Who knows.

Episode 5.... WOW. 

Brought a real tear to my eye. 

It really did reignite my love of star wars.

[hagjohn]

1x5 is the best episode yet.

I agree episode 5 was very good but didn't understand why Hera brought her son on an unauthorized, dangerous mission. At one point he was just sitting on the edge of a cliff that fell off into the ocean and then was left alone while they went on a search.  She is the ultimate anti-helicopter parent I guess. LOL

Hopefully, we see him and Ezra tonight.

Overall, really enjoying the series.

^ Given the way it's been going I won't be even a tiny bit surprised if we only see them either in a flashback, or right at the end of the final episode...

You'll be surprised alright  😂

Indeed! Well, I *did* say I wouldn't be surprised, not that I expected it!

Thoughts on the finale?

Was rather abrupt and left you hanging.

Spoiler

Anyone know what planet Thrawn was going to? And whats in all those containers?

I think he went to Dathomir and those were proably dead nightsisters.

I liked it. Left things open for a next season or for the movie that is rumored.

Wasn't my favorite.  I thought the season as a whole was pretty darn good ... the season finale was not.

Probably Nightsister corpses.

 

[hagjohn]

BTW, I would rather have these show be shows and not turned into a movie. We get more out of seasons than a 90 minute movie

He said to set course for Dathomir, which would make sense.  As for the contents, unknown but at a guess, sleeping/dead Nightsisters.

 

[Xenon]

So anyone else think....

 

Spoiler

That the cargo was witches in suspended animation? Remember Ezra said that when they arrived Thrawn awakened the great mothers.

Overall, I really enjoyed the series but left a lot of questions unanswered

For any Farscape fans, Claudia Black played the great mother Klothow.

I knew they would have to. It was just too popular for them not to have a 2nd season. IMO, they should have 2 seasons a year for Ashoka (with Hayden) and the Mandalorian and Boba (my least favorite of the new shows). 8 shows in 1 1/2 years or 2, is just not enough, IMO.

More Andor!!! That is my favorite by far
