Please note, our reviews are based on likes and dislikes. These contain significant spoilers. If you haven’t already watched the episode, we recommend that you click off the article and come back once you have watched the episode. Enjoy!

What I Liked

1. I do like how Luthen is taking care of Bix even though she’s falling apart. Luthen knows what she is going through but he needs her for something,g and he needs her clean. I wonder what Luthen’s game plan is.

2. We get to see Cassian go undercover in some clean clothing and fresh hair. I wish we got to know more about this mission he’s on but knowing Cassian, it will go wrong and he’ll ultimately have to blast his way out of it.

3. I do like how we’ve been to bases where we’ve only truly seen in the sequel trilogy with the older characters. I do like how it’s all connecting together and how massive the Rebel company actually is.

4. Honestly, Saw might be crazy but he knows damn sure what to say to get someone to believe in his cause.

What I Disliked

1. So far, the story with Syril is absolutely boring. Him being spied on by Luthen’s minions and Syril in his office watching over people while getting shouted at by his mother is absolutely boring.

2. Honestly, I do not know how to feel about Syril as a character, and as a story. He’s slowly getting brought into a spy/undercover storyline, but his overall story and character development is overshadowed by this stupid story with his mother.

Favorite Moment

My favorite moment would be when Wilmon threatens Saw that if he doesn’t return, then something will happen. Saw realizes one of his men is actually an Imperial spy and kills him immediately.

Standout Character

Honestly, I’m giving this to Saw. He was only in this episode a short amount of time but he made an impact.

Verdict

Overall, this was a little bit better than the previous episode. Coming away from this episode, I hope that the next episode is full of action and we dive in the mission that Cassian had set up in this episode. Saw was probably the best part of this episode.

Rating: 7.4/10
