The show seems to want to address both a problem of the week and an overarching narrative, and it hasn’t always done a fantastic job of bridging that gap. Previously, I said that one of the strengths of the show was that its cliffhangers matter, but this is the fourth episode of the season and the third that didn’t follow up on how the previous episode ended. If Gideon were to get his hands on her, he would not only remove an irritant that helped bring down the old Empire, but he’d also have a source of midichlorian-rich blood that wasn’t a foot tall.īut the safe bet that we’ll see Ahsoka Tano soon leads me to another thought.
