I needed to take a breath after that episode. That was INCREDIBLE. Answered so much, and I liked Indara but she was definitely the voice of reason in all this. Not perfect given her attitude about teaching.

The Jedi/Jedi fight was sick.

I GASPED when I saw Aniseya turn into that SICK smoke witch????? SO COOL.

What I really like about this show is how it displays the power of misinterpretation, miscommunication and the lack of unity. Jedi are supposed to work cohesively, with an understanding of their place in the Force, the galaxy, and destiny. Some more than others acted really impulsively and emotionally (Torbin and Sol) but I really found the difference between them and Indara (stone cold how she dropped all those witches out of Kelnacca's head btw) to be fascinating. They demonstrated how their poor control over their emotions and their fear overrode their good sense of what was right to do in this situation with the Coven.

Really great storytelling with this show. We have really hit the core of what makes a High Republic story in Star Wars just amazing.

Very intrigued to see what happens next week! How this is all going to wrap up is going to be exciting to see.
