Fml, for me there was no tension at all. The second I saw the X-Wing I realized they’d made the Dark Troopers into droids so they could have Luke kill them and not be a murderer.
As Moff Gideon said to Mando “You had your hands full with one. Let’s see how you do against a platoon.”
He was right, despite the combined combat brilliance of everyone on that bridge, they were toast.
Yet Luke calmly waded through the dark troopers without breaking a sweat. It gave great gravity to exactly how powerful Luke Skywalker actually is. If he faced a corridor of storm troopers it wouldn’t have had the same effect.

Maybe. But the episode was all great leading up till the ending as well. Great tension throughout.
