While this is definitely the weakest of the new episodes yet, this new series is still off to a great start with a storyline that is so worth getting invested in. I have praised the clone-focused narrative, and this episode added a lot more to that. The final shot is a great reminder that nothing lasts forever and that there is way more to come in the future, but also a reminder that this is the end of something that has been a great bright spot for "Star Wars" fans ever since it began back in 2008. That is also why I was a little bit taken aback by the weird pacing of this episode. It was filled with a lot of great action sequences, but it almost try to do too much too fast, and didn't give the characters enough time to find each other again after their escape in the beginning. I also thought the bad guys were a little bit too much like they would have been in the prequels, and for some that might not be a bad thing, but I would have liked a little more nuance. I also hope that they get a better hold of the tone, because the episode had some weird humor, but overall, a good episode and something that got me excited for the future.
