“It is said that one should keep one’s allies within view, and one’s enemies within reach. A valid statement. One must be able to read an ally’s strengths, so as to determine how to best use them. One must similarly be able to read his enemy’s weaknesses, so as to determine how to best defeat him. But what of friends? There is no accepted answer, perhaps friendship is so exceedingly rare. But I had formulated my own. A friend need not be kept within sight or within reach. A friend must be allowed the freedom to find and follow his own path. If one is fortunate, those paths will for a time join. But if paths separate, it is comforting to know that a friend still graces the universe with his skills, and his viewpoint, and his present. For if one is remembered by a friend, one is never truly gone.”

Of course, the main event here is Lars Mikkelson following in the footsteps of Katee Sackhoff and Clancy Brown in reprising his animated Star Wars role in live action (I leave out David Tennant since he's still just doing a voice). And as it turns out, his facial structure combined with the makeup causes him to bear a distinct and extremely distracting resemblance to Data, but it's hard to care when he's slipping back into the role like it was yesterday, projecting every bit of that smug confidence and not letting his years-long imprisonment change him a bit. He still hasn't quite broken through internationally like his brother did, but every time he does pop up it's a joy. Though it's also interesting that the writing allows him to be flat-out wrong when he presumes Baylan just didn't care enough to make sure Ahsoka was dead, when we know it was only an unforeseeable trip to the World Between Worlds that saved her. A bit harder to spot is Farscape's Claudia Black as one of the Night Sisters, and suddenly I want a whole show about this character. We get plenty more depth about Baylan and his goals, with many fans noting his comments on the cycle of violence perpetuated by the Jedi sounds a lot like the fans' decades-long complaints about the franchise, and he's visibly displeased by Thrawn going back on the spirit of his agreement with Sabine even if he doesn't quite have the guts to stand up against it. And finally, Ezra. We already got a taste of how perfectly Eman Esfandi captured the character in his message to Sabine, and he fully lives up to that in the flesh. I especially love the attention to detail that he wouldn't actually know if his plan worked all this time, which would have driven me nuts but he seems pretty well-together, must be that Jedi mental balance.
