    All falling action really. Wrapping things up, setting the stage for R1, which is, in true Star Wars fashion, made better than it was by TV, but still deeply flawed.

    I thought Dedra’s fate was kind of perfect, and just showed that the system wasn’t set up due the likes of Syril or her, true believers until it was too late. The Luthen episode was the best of this bunch for me, but overall what was going to top 7-9?

    I’m head canoning Kleya as the boss of the very serious ladies drawing lines with light pens in ANH or ESB, and then being an intel muckitymuck in Mothma’s administration after the war.

    Also, B2 is okay! Oh, and baby Andor, which does at least explain more about why Bix did what she did.

      Agreed. Luthan was a treat to watch.

      I’ll give episode 12 one thing, though, they really showed the political complexities of the rebellion. All the factions that have to come together without trusting or even liking one another. You can imagine how the New Republic was a bit hamstrung as they avoid consolidating power behind a single figure.
