Haven't finished it yet, but was that our lovely Zeb??
Edit: I really liked this episode minus Zane and Cap't seaweed. They were just done poorly to me.
I'm surprised the "reformed" Giddeon lady wasn't immediately arrested and tried for murder, but I guess it is the future and they wouldn't possibly be able to figure out who killed the scientist... I do like her character though, I hope she gets fully fleshed out.
I do wish there was a way to track time, cause I'm sure Teva flying to Coruscant and back, then to Mando hideout didn't take 5 minutes. So was Greef and the citizens just chilling on the lava flats for a week?
Also why didn't they shoot the droid when it was outted as a rebel spy! Would have set up IG-11 but I guess we are running out of time.
Always great to see the Armourer kicking butt, though I refuse to believe they didn't hear the fighting behind them..
Can't wait for next week!

Great episode, really want to get both bo and Mandos ships in game.
Only major hangup I had was at the end with Gideon's shuttle and the beskar; why jump to mandos as the culprit when imps had been using the stuff for years?
Maybe it's Sabine's armor and she's captured by Gideon? So that's why he has the darksaber before.
I think this is the most likely theory. Would bring in natural conflict with Bo's old crew and Giddeon facing off against team Mando
Sabine gave it to Bo in Rebels and Bo lost it to Giddeon IIRC.
Seaweed pirate notwithstanding, I think the visuals for this season have been the best so far. Grogu seems far more expressive and I find myself remarking at how good the effects are at least once an episode. I didn't even mind the space pirate - thought he was a little campy with a touch of nostalgia. This is Star Wars after all, a little camp is expected for me. YMMV of course.
I cannot stand the sea-weed pirates of the caribbean wannabe space Pirate - he ****. He just looked terrible. LF should just shake their heads on that one.
R5 was stuck on Tatooine after his "bad motivator" experience. When the Storm troopers caught up to those Jawas, who knows what happened to him. But he resurfaces on Tatooine again in the Mando series with a mechanic who has ties to Jawas.
My point is - when was he supposed to have joined the Rebellion? That was a little weak for me.
As for the he/she "reformed" Giddeon officer - What the New Republic are doing makes 0 sense. They willingly are taking imperials and making them work for them, in the military, with some obvious influences over their own commanders. Since when did the Rebellion "swap reason for madness", its just crazy.
The point I am making is the Rebellion went to great lengths through the Galactic Civil War, against incredible odds at defeating the Imperial War machine, to just turn so soft and threaten the peace and stability they have created by allowing corruption to rot from within - it just doesn't make any sense. It feels like "forced plot" writing to me, just to make the sequels somewhat relevant.
Ultimately though, good episode and Zeb was a nice touch.
The new republic makes me cheer for the first order more now, and that i want rey to lose.
C'mon man. Katy M. O'Brien. Totally superfluous (and grammatically incorrect) use of an adjective there. If you had any doubt, then maybe do the decent thing and take the literal 15 seconds to google something.
