Who Are You?

One of the best episodes of television I have personally ever seen. The stakes, the tension, the emotion this whole episode were unlike anything I've seen before in Star Wars media. Hours and hours have gone in to building various character arcs for this moment, and safe to say it did not disappoint. You feel the weight of every decision made and so do the characters. I for one am glad to have been here since day one to see this marvel of show become what it is now! 10/10 for me, and I fear Star Wars may never see anything like this again. This is Star Wars at its best, at its peak, and like never before.

Now I get why the rest of this season was almost entirely buildup. I swear my heart rate was over 100 BPM the whole time.

This episode expertly weaves character moments into an unthinkably tragic event. Star Wars has never explored this territory in this depth and I'm amazed at how well they pull it off in this episode. I had to remind myself as I was writing this review that I just watched an episode of a Star Wars show. Star Wars. Like, you know, Baby Yoda and company.

This episode feels like it was what Andor was for. Getting at the true evil of the Empire, and reminding us that these ideas come from real life. Real people can be this cruel.

No words to describe the feeling of watching this episode, but this is peak everything, while writing this I am still processing everything that I witnessed, what a show, what a feeling, simply marvelous.

The brilliance of this resides on the fact that I can't wait to finish this show and rewatch Rogue One and episodes IV through VI, the absolute disgust that the empire representa and ironically the parallels that we actually see in your daily news is just baffling, absolutely frightening yet inspiring.

Tony Gilroy you absolute genius this show is brilliance, it might not feel formulaic but in its very core THIS IS STAR WARS.

One of the best episodes I have ever seen.

All the build-up and character developments led to this episode.

This episode was intensity at its highest form and as evil as only the Empire can be. Showing the polar opposites between the rebels and the Empire, and complexities within.

If you have been disappointed with the 2nd season so far, know that this episode makes it all worth it and then some. Just like season 1, it takes time to build up the story and the complexities within the characters and then strikes down as Lightning.

Absolute legendary episode and I cant wait to see where this second half of the season takes us.

With everything we have been witnessing around the world, where we are all headed as humanity. The silence, the fear, the peaceful protests, the resistance, all of it. Our paths heading towards more restrictions, our path to using AI and droids to fight wars. The destruction, all of it. All of it broken down in such a way that anyone can understand the message, clear vision and warning this episode is sending out to the world. It is written to perfection. And yet we know where this story goes, and why there always needs to be hope at the end of the road. No empire will last forever. Fascism must end before it ends all of us. Power to all the resistance in the world <3.
