Realistic that he didn’t get that chance at redemption, yet still sad.
So here’s my question: how much did this crack Dedra’s shell?
Does she shift focus and direct all that icy competence AGAINST the empire now? Or does she continue on?
Will we find out in Episode 10?

Ugh -- Dedra flipping would feel so lazy to me. That's a person who's LIFE has been built for her. Who's entire identity is no different in terms of development and creed than Partagaz. Than our boy Captain Kaido. It's what she's been born into, raised in and molded by.
Some of the worst storytelling comes when an antagonist goes against literal decades of type due to a single event. It's contrived and again, just lazy, IMO. I hope they don't do that.
Moreover, as I always said with Kylo Ren -- what's this person ever done to earn a redemption arc? She knew -- all along -- what was going to happen on Ghor. This character has been universally irredeemable and in stark contrast to Cyril. His fundamentally 'decent if wrongheaded' nature was
weaponized
by her.
**** Dedra. I hope she takes a blaster bolt to the dome. Or maybe K2SO gets to draw his first blood in the name of the rebellion...
