Se 3
The Dathomir trilogy ("Nightsisters", "Monster", "Witches Of The Mist", eps 12 - 14)
The Mortis trilogy ("Overlords", "Altar Of Mortis", "Ghosts Of Mortis", eps 15 - 17)
(Note the Dathomir and Mortis trilogies are actually six consecutive episodes; their stories have gotten more relevant to the future direction of SW with the recent developments in Ahsoka)

Se 4
The Zabrak story ("Massacre" (ep 19), "Brothers" (ep 21), "Revenge" (ep 22)...ep 20 in the middle of this doesn't really fit in)

Se 5
The Mandalore arc ("Shades Of Reason", "The Lawless" (eps 15 & 16))
The Temple series ("Sabotage", "The Jedi Who Knew Too Much", "To Catch a Jedi", "The Wrong Jedi" (eps 17 - 20))
(Note that this bloc from Se 5 is six consecutive episodes)

If you're going to watch all of Se 7, you'll get a lot of what's what re Bo-Katan and her prior efforts to become Boss Lady Of Mandalore. (The rest of course being covered in Rebels )

Not a fully stuck landing, but not a bed s**ting, either. Sort of an odd payoff to the build up.

I did not like that Baylan and Shin were reduced to more or less cameo roles. (They are in a bind wrt Baylan, unless m abye Liev Schreiber wants to be in a Star War) I am not a fan of Sabine suddenly becoming Force-y........ and where did she get her helmet?? I thought her helmet had been left behind on Seatos? The Force jump to get Ezra aboard the Chimaera was........ silly, but not the worst party foul in the world. My main complaint as SW has grown older is that the Force becomes less mystical and more magical, and what I had liked so much about stories like Rogue One, The Last Jedi, and up to now with Ahsoka was that it touched on that theme. But that jump was straight up voodoo.

It was fun watching Ezra building a lightsaber. I have no idea where he got a kyber crystal, never mind a blue one. But it was cool that it had the OG lightsaber ignite/retract sounds, and it looked to me as if they rendered the blade a bit thinner in a visual homage to the skinny blades from animation, but I could just be imagining that.

But Thrawn is now back in the galaxy, and he has a cargo hold full of corpses and his own coven of witches in tow. Ezra Bridger is now with the New Republic to bear witness to the skullduggery afoot, and Ahsoka and Sabine (and Huyang) are stranded on Peridea in a completely different galaxy. I have no idea where the story is headed now, and I'm stoked.

I got choked up a few times during the episode. I think star war has a problem with who and who can't use the force and it's pretty inconsistent how that works and why some of the things that happened in the past future happened like they did now. I don't even really mind she can use the force, it's just how hard it was for everyone else in the galaxy and all of a sudden, now she has it. I guess in the end, I liked her more as a spy who could blow **** up rather than a Mando Jedi. So is Baylan and Ashoka the dad and daughter of the ancient force people now? What's up with ashokas owl saying hi? Sabine will study here and become a super Jedi now? The witch stuff was very rad. Ezra bouncing out with the stormtrooper outfit was fitting, but felt a little cheap. I did lose it when chop went to him.

zombie Stormtroopers and witches don't feel very Star Warsy to me. Is this how they're going to explain the "somehow Palpatine returned" thing? Or was that already explained? I've done my best to remove that trash movie from my memory.
