Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch and the Warlord

This was a very well produced eight episode season one. The coda was particularly strong, featuring action from beginning to end, with a nice cliffhanger portending to season two, and a satisfying send off for a final scene.

Though, with the ending, and the subsequent death of co-star Ray Stevenson, one wonders how that character in season two will flesh out. No spoilers here, so one will have to watch the episode to determine the details.

However, the final scene is emotional and quite uplifting, which is what the producers were hoping for no doubt. Combined with a picture perfect performance by Lars Mikkelson as Thrawn, and one sees that character in full development as a pure warrior who values strategy but combines it with a total lack of morality.

We finally get to see a long series of light saber action, from all three characters, as they work well in their efforts against overwhelming odds. These efforts underpin the episode and add great promise to future efforts to come.
