The show just started out beautifully with the trans-galactic hyperspace effects - colorful! I was not sure what we would find on this planet. It is different, but not vastly so. It maybe could have been a little more alien, but the desolation works. It hasn't been a wonderful place that Ezra has been trapped in. The entrance of Thrawn was just epic and he is played perfectly. Tha tmoment where Mogran questions him and he just doesn't say anything. It's not even a look, it's just all in the presence! You could feel his indignance. Then he just moves forward in his correctness. It's awesome. And speaking of awesome, how cool is this guy?
All props to the production designers on this episode. The *zombie?* Stormtroopers, the roving bandits, the very adorable creature that Sabine rides - it's all perfect. When are the toys coming out! I liked the little rock creatures - very classic Star Wars. And then there was Ezra - just amazing to see him. We're in high-gear now, and the last two episodes are going to be killer!
