What I Liked
1. The episode begins with Mae infiltrating a Jedi Temple. She begins attacking a Jedi who is meditating. She tries to hit him with many attacks but is blocked by some type of force field that surrounds the Jedi Master. Although Mae unsuccessfully attacks and kills the Jedi, she does need to leave before she gets spotted.
2. We get to witness an interesting scene. The Jedi arrive at the Jedi temple where Mae failed in her attempt to kill the Jedi. While outside, Mae has snuck inside and is attempting to kill the Jedi with poison. The Jedi speaks with Mae and asks for forgiveness before drinking the poison. What crimes did Mae want the Jedi to accept and to tell the council about?
3. Something happened on Osha’s home planet and that is why Mae wants revenge against 4 Jedi. She has killed 2 already and wants to kill Jedi Master Sol as well. I need to know what happened 16 years ago and why it sent Mae down this path.
4. So whatever happened all those years ago has had the result of both sisters believing that the other twin sister is dead. The story has taken a twist in regards to the main characters. It is great to see that this is the case and I can not wait to see more.
5. A live-action Jedi Master Wookie. That is all.
What I Disliked
Nothing to report.
Favorite Moment
My favorite moment of the episode would be Jedi Master Sol going up against Mae and when they are fighting, he is learning about Mae. He instantly notices that she is fighting without a weapon and wants to know why. He also knows that she has a master and wants to know who trained her. The action once again is really great.
Standout Character
The standout character for me is simply Jedi Master Sol. He reminds me so much of Qui-Gon Jinn. He is simply so fluid with fighting that he has not broken a sweat while fighting Mae.
Verdict
The second episode continues to shine the light on the story slowly but surely. We know more about the story of what happened around 16 years ago on Osha’s home planet and why Mae wants revenge against 4 Jedi. Once again the action in this episode was fantastic.
