I almost didn't recognize C-3PO without his red arm. I wish Ray was still alive because I want to know how Baylan's story ends and I don't think it'll be wrapped next episode.

Might make Shin's season 2 plot be searching for Baylan and figuring out what happened to him.
I also wonder why he let Shin go off there. Like what is his true plan?
Shin disappoints him because she desires power and he tried to teach her different.
Telling her to go with Thrawn will result in her getting the power she wants. Or she learns better and returns.
Part of me thinks that Baylan Skoll still harbors a lot of sentiment towards the force and its influence. You can see it in the way that he never seems to try and control the ways events unfold. He still (for the most part) seems content to allow events to play out as they will, or as the Force directs.
He claims that he no longer abides by the Jedi teachings, and claims that he no longer has any faith, but I’ve grown up religious, and even though I no longer believe or practice, it’s still difficult to completely extricate that sort of influence from my decision-making.
I imagine that it’d be more difficult to separate for Baylan Skoll, for whom the existence of the Force is irrefutable, even if he professes to no longer believe in it, as he continues to wield it.
Highlights for me:
Threepio
Ezra fighting like a monk
Monk fighting was great, although he seemed surprised by Shen giving him a little force push back.
Given he’s probably only fought raiders and troopers for the last decade a competent force user probably caught him a bit rusty
I just wish they leaned a bit harder into the force infused kung fu thing he had going on.
I wish they leaned into his force fighting a bit more. Like a tame version of Mace Windu in the old clone wars show lol
