The Elder

Also ends with a really deep message. Blew my mind.

Very good and interesting story. I love the idea of learning jedis meeting unusual and mysterious sith lords. However the fights didn't quite get too me (definetly not the main focus of the episode).

The old sith lord we've always needed and we could only get through a japanese lense. Its fiction compells an amazing design and also a classic but pleasing samurai showdown ending. Inspiration from local folklore is obvious but astonishing when expresses through this medium.

I suppose this makes the Jedi master an elder to of some kind. I actually loved this.

I watched the English dub; how has David Harbor not been in anything Star Wars related until now? That seems like such an obvious casting. He was great here.

I thought this wa s yet another fascinating piece of Star Wars lore, and I doesn't feel very detached from canon stuff. Hearing them discuss how and why the Sith went extinct was cool. This period of Star Wars was one of my favorites in the Legends books.

The animation is once again beautifully done, with some decent choreography. My only complaint is the weird, drawn out silences. Not sure it's that big of a deal but it felt awkward to me.

Still, great stuff. This is another story I'd like to hear more of.

I really liked the premise of this episode. The creepy, ancient Sith Lord was a good idea and it was generally kinda spooky. But I was hoping it would lean into the spook but it didn't quite meet that expectation. Honestly less dialogue might have helped, it's one of those things where you don't need an explanation for. I could be wrong but hey that's my opinion. I think the creators needed a little more time to make this episode perfect.

Anyways, one of the most solid episodes. Left a slight bit to be desired.
