-- Who you were does not have to define who you are.
As I admitted last post, I'm not particularly enjoying this arc. I mean, it's fine; it just doesn't feel... significant. This episode seems like a good metaphor for the whole arc.
So... last episode Ahsoka and her friends tried to pull a fast one on the Pyke after bungling a spice job for them. After seemingly escaping, the Pyke captured them. This episode picks up with them in a Pyke jail cell and being tortured, one by one, for the location of the spice. The spice Trace dumped into space.
BUT! They escape! So it's a prison break episode with no real development as the whole episode is spent with them running from the Pyke. And, spoiler alert: They get re-captured and are back in the jail cell at the end of the episode. Right back where we started.
Unless that's the gag, I hate these kinds of episodes... in anything. What's the point? It feels so throwaway.
Except! While they were cavorting and hi-jinking and trying to get away, we see that they are spotted by some mysterious, hooded figures. Spoiler alert: It's Mandalorians.
Which seems to be the whole point of them escaping, so that they can be spotted by the Mandalorians.
It seems like there should have been a better way to introduce that plot development than an episode of them running away just to end up back in prison.
But what do I know?
