    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The scene where Admiral Thrawn fights off the TIE defender with his hand blaster is an almost shot-for-shot reproduction of a similar scene from Patton (1970) where the titular character (George C. Scott) fights off a German bomber with just a small automatic pistol.
    • Goofs
      When Sabine Wren disables the transponder on the TIE Defender, Grand Admiral Thrawn notes that the transponder is disabled before the icon on the map even disappears.
    • Crazy credits
      Voice credits includes "As Himself - White Loth-Wolf".

    Flight of the Defender
    It definitely feels like we are stearing closer to the end. This episode gave a lot of insight into what's coming for Ezra, and his destiny might not all that set. His interactions with this loth-wolf might suggest that he has some sort of connection to a different realm and that could be an interesting idea to explore upon. The entire episode was very interesting, and even though it mostly surrounded around them infiltrating this Imperial base, they found a way to make it cool and action-packed, with a lot of great action sequences, including a badass moment for Thrawn, of which he has had too few of. I thought the episode could have been a little more spread in setting, because it felt a little too tight, but that might have been exactly what they needed. This season in general feels very tight, which actually isn't a knock against it. It means that they are focusing on what's important and are giving this season an overarching narrative, and I can't wait to see what they have in store for us, and how they are going to bring this exceptional addition to the universe all the way to the end.
