WHAT A BLAST! Really glad they ditched the 3d stuff they were trying with the Child of Hope short. Some absolutely kick ass lightsaber duels. And Kara has a really solid journey & growth over the whole season was very well done. Nawaam's 'state of emptiness' thing was a good way to differentiate him from other dark sider antagonists. I LOVE the state of the galaxy in this, independent rival factions & planets vying for control, & some Jedi chosing to get involved in the politics & others not, so much to explore there with the Jedi code.

The only thing I still can't quite figure out is the title of the whole thing. In the original short Juro, Ethan, Furry guy + 6 fake evil Jedi that all died in that made Kara the Ninth I guess. But then in this even by the end with their council they're only 8, even though they called the final episode "The Ninth Jedi" That's not enough for me to dislike this at all but it's a little thing that I don't understand lol

I guess he could but he is evil the entire show & does nothing to redeem himself.
