Please note, our reviews are based on likes and dislikes. These contain significant spoilers. If you haven’t already watched the episode, we recommend that you click off the article and come back once you have watched the episode. Enjoy!

What I Liked

1. We see that Osha comes to say goodbye to Jecki. She thanks her for helping her prove her innocence and for finally confirming that Mae was indeed alive and well. She also doesn’t say goodbye to Master Sol.

2. JEDI MASTER KI-ADI-MUNDI????

3. While the Jedi are walking through the forest, Osha touches something that is on a tree. It’s a creature that she disturbs and it wakes up and begins to attack. When Master Sol ignites his saber, it goes straight for the light. It honestly felt like one of the creatures you come across in a Jedi Fallen Order game.

4. Mae goes to turn herself into Master Kelnacca but when she gets there, she sees him dead. With a lightsaber slash through the chest. Mae realizes that the Sith she is working for has arrived there before her.

What I Disliked

While it’s nice to see Osha back at the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, I wish we got to see the “trial” or outcome from the Jedi council about Osha being innocent.

Favorite Moment

My favorite moment would be when all of the Jedi are waiting outside for Mae to leave the hut when Master Sol slowly turns around and we get to see this Sith appear. Who doesn’t care and slowly walks up to Osha, throwing her to the side. The Jedi all ignite their sabers after the Sith does, and sprint towards him but the Sith uses the force to push them all back and the episode ends.

Standout Character

The standout character for me would be, Mae. She realizes that she doesn’t need to kill for this new Sith that is on the scene as she now knows that Osha is alive and well and that her loyalty belongs to Osha.

Verdict

A much better episode than last week with this episode delivering some powerful moments from Mae, the darkside user, and Master Sol. We simply get a taste of how powerful this Sith is when he walks up and allows the Jedi to sprint towards him before using the Force to push them away. We even got to see a young Master Jedi Ki-Adi Mundi.

Rating: 8.9/10
