Obviously spoilers ahead

What was everyone’s thoughts on this week’s episode. For me it was the best one yet and has me hooked now. Very much looking forward to the rest.

Only 4 more episodes to go!

    Choreography for the PT was better, but the overall duels are better here. There’s more than just pure athleticism to be interested in, and that’s why I feel they’re overall better.

    The way they face off, trading strikes feels very much like a traditional sword fight. The forms are very clear and the style of the individual shows through. Ashoka with the single lightsaber in this episode was a stand out for me.

    The contrast between the master/apprentice is also very interesting to watch. The way Sabine fights the Dark Apprentice (forgetting her name) is more unrefined, while Ashoka fighting the other 2 is a much calmer, methodical fighting style, showing maturity.

      PT had the athleticism AND the character work. It’s better than the OT but still feels like a regression to me.

        Imo the character work really wasn’t great in the PT. The acting was terrible and the fighting was simply just as fast as they could be. There’s nothing wrong with that, it’s just that it gets boring. It was impressive to watch, but it had less of a samurai vibe
