I found Thrawn to be the only redeeming part of this episode. Otherwise the pacing felt so slow I though we were coming to a grinding halt. Sabine knows that she actually needs to hurry in order to have any chance of getting back. But no urgency whatsoever. Finding Ezra also felt way too easy. In all that running time we could have learned something about the turtle people or the circumstance of those raiders.
We're so spoiled by the CGI and production values of the Star Wars shows but I find the writing really lacking in some aspects.
I don't necessarily know that Sabine cared about getting back is the thing. As far as she's aware, their only ride back is a Star Destroyer, and she knows they may not survive the trip. Hence her lack of urgency.
Her goal was to find Ezra, not save Ezra.
Hurry to what, exactly? How exactly are you meant to hurry through a search of a planet you don't know with only an alien irish wolfhound?
Even then it took her, what, 10 minutes of showtime? There are shows which would have dragged that out for an entire season.
Honest to god I'm not trying to be a dick here, but i literally cannot comprehend how on each this can be considered slow.
I get the pacing. I've been skipping the show until there were a decent number of episodes out, but after watching 1-3, I just jumped straight to 6. Does not look like I missed anything important other than ~~Gandalf~~ Ahsoka the White.
