Jedi Crash starts with a bang and never loses momentum. While the show and prior episodes have flirted with different tones, characters, and pace, the best episodes have tended to be the ones with a "go, go, go" attitude towards the stakes and scale. And with Anakin out of the picture, much of this episode is carried by Ahsoka and Aayla, whose dynamic allows for Ahsoka to continue her development. So far she remains one of the more interesting parts of the show and I like the tough lesson she has to learn about warfare here.

The Lurmens are a great creation as well. Outside of being a really cool looking species with a fun gimmick of rolling around like a wheel (which is very similar to Droidekas, now that I really think about it), it poses an interesting moral question about the war in general - is it necessary to get involved in warfare and is staying neutral even an option? With the arc unfinished, this answer clearly hasn't been fully answered but with a strong setup, the episode leaves you wanting more, even if it's clearly only half of a story.
