pretty rough episode imo. season 1 was all over the place but felt fairly consistent. this was some real highs (all the cleonic content) and some real deep lows (everything else)

Agreed, my philosophy for the first season was that they deserved a lot of runway for this kind of story.

They've still got some, and I can see what they could be setting up this episode (and Lee was so much fun, watching him break from the cold Empire of s1 was great), but they really have to clean it up early this season.

Synnax is literally the least interesting planet in the Galaxy, wasting time here seems so silly.

The thing with Demerzel is also really damn weird, dying to see how this whole nightmare turns out.

The Empire storyline is the most interesting part of this show.

i don’t disagree, it could probably just be its own show
