It's nowhere near as bad as Kenobi or Book of Boba Fett, but it's not exactly good outside of Kevin Kiner's score and some good graphics. It's a bad sign when the end credits are the most captivating part of the episode.
The episode is pretty lifeless. There are three action scenes and all three are stiff and awkward. The lightsaber choreography is childish and the actors look uncomfortable trying to keep an intimidating straight face. The acting and dialogue aren't much better. The actors are all fine, but there is so much dead space where they're just looking around (especially Hera). The conversations are repetitive and don't tell much about the characters. There are some clumsy information dumps like Sabine randomly pulling out a hologram from Ezra to let the audience know what their relationship.
The episode is paced terribly in every scene. There are long scenes like Ahsoka looking around a temple or Sabine unlocking a map where the audience has no idea what the characters are trying to accomplish so their actions mean nothing. There's no sense of cause and effect in the story which leaves the audience disengaged and, in my case, bored.
Worst of all is the episode's end where they pull out an obnoxious plot point that seems to have become a trend in Disney Star Wars.
Overall, my expectations were beat coming off Obi-Wan, but as a fan of Clone Wars and Ahsoka's character, I was left underwhelmed.
