As far as the episode, I thought it was pretty strong.
I've been fairly critical of the lightsaber battles, and this one was the best by a wide margin. Powered up Morgan Elzbeth was a nice foil and damn if that wasn't a good fight scene - really did a nice job with space, no dumbass moves getting inside the defense radius and not spilling their guts, Motion was with intent and force, good stuff. I'm here for that.
I appreciated the ending with Sabine staying with her Master. As well as Ahsoka coming to terms with her being an adequate master, and ultimately conquering her fear of Sabine going dark. That was a nice touch. I don't know if it was worth how miserable it was watching Sabine be awful.
I thought the interactions with Ezra and Sabine were good - finally. For whatever reason, the fights with the troopers felt like it had stakes. I was impressed.
Sabine's progress with her training in a couple days was a little on the nose, but whatever.
As far as not wrapping it up, I'm fine IF they do S2. But Disney is bleeding cash, Iger is under fire, and the management is frankly FUBAR. And they're chopping shit like mexicans in a cane field. It's risky - especially if it underperforms.
I'm in for S2. I thought it wasn't great to start, but really hit it's stride and sucked me in.
