Thoughts
This is the episode where we get Hayden Christensen's return as Anakin. I always wondered how they were going to add him to the series when it was revealed that he was joining the cast, and I think they handled it perfectly. This episode, in my opinion, does a good job of balancing and mirroring the present and flashback sequences with the story they are telling throughout the episode. This week's episode was heavy on the action with a notable death but an expected one all the same. The dialog was better in this episode than in previous episodes and the action was pretty good. The visuals were stellar as there is a sequence where they have Vader using the force and it was great to see just how powerful and rage-filled his actions seemed. If there was one thing that I didn't like about the episode and this is a problem I have with the entirety of the Star Wars universe/lore is how horrible the Stormtroopers are at shooting. It is laughable that anyone would be afraid of the troopers in all honesty. It really is nonsensical that they are so bad at shooting. Sometimes I think directors and writers put it in as a joke at this point. Overall I enjoyed this episode, I think it is the best episode of the season. The cliffhanger for the next episode makes me wonder how they will wrap this season up.
