Ahsoka: Part Four- Fallen Jedi

 "You know how it is. Once a rebel, aslways a rebel."

SPOILERS. Unless you've seen the episode, read on at your peril. You have been warned.+

Nice title. Has there ever been a pun that works on so many levels? Let us count them. Sod it, let's give this blog post an unorthodox structure, shall we?

1. We begin with Ahsoka and Sabine having literally fallen from the sky, their starshift lost in the woods.

2. Sabine, who has only just become Ahsoka's padawan again, gets a test of her mettle in combat, seems to decide not to try and use the force... but betrays her master to Baylan for the promise of meeting Ezra Bridger again, putting her feelings before the greater good. This is not the Jedi way. She falls at the first hurdle.

3. Ahsoka literally falls off a cliff, to what may or may not be an afterlife- I'm a little confused of the chronology, and I've not seen either Clone Wars or Rebels. Looks like I need to. Anyway, what's he doing there? Hayden Christiansen playing him again, no less.

I've no idea where this is going, but I suspect Sabine is not destined to be a Jedi. I loved Here's rebellion, general or not, with all her mates. And I love that the baddies have actually made the jump into this other galaxy. Big revelations can probably be expected not the series has taken such a massive change of direction.

I'm also loving Rosario Dawson's assured performance, and the superb comic turn from David Tennant as Huyang. What was already a dam good series is now, er, even damn gooder.
