Chapter 12: The Siege
As last week's episode passed, I kinda guessed that we weren't going to see Ahsoka before next week's episode, because Dave Filoni is both writing and directing that episode, so it just makes sense. But that didn't take away from the excitement of seeing what Carl Weathers' could do behind the camera, and he nailed this episode. This actually felt like it continued the main plot of the series, which is setting up what Moff Gideon is actually trying to do here. He's obviously trying to create some kind of super soldier, and I'm excited to see where all of that goes. The premise of the episode was quite enjoyable, and he handled the action scenes with a great set of skills. There were certain parts of the humor that I didn't click with, and the return of a specific character that I didn't think should have been in here, also puts it down a few points for me. However, I do think that this is a very good episode and that it has done a great job of putting some pieces into play. Now, what they do with those pieces is going to be the big question, and whether or not they're able to stick the landing. So far, I haven't been disappointed, and I'm ready for more.
