It was a good episode, so well directed, you could feel the tension in the space scene. What I like about the recent Star Wars series is that the space battles feel "real", not over exaggerated. That was the case with the second chapter as well.

I get why some people find the chapter a wasted opportunity to move the story forward, but I think it's because we have to wait a week for the next episode. I enjoyed it very much. Even if the series doesn't have many episodes.

The main issues from the previous episodes remain: while Ashoka is starting to remind me of the character from Rebels, I still miss Vanessa Marshall's voice for Hera. I think she should have gotten the role. Mary Elizabeth Winstead is good but she is just too different. Maybe even too young for the role.
The introduction of Sabine in a live action form ruined her character for me, she acted like a teenager. So I don't care about her. But the training scene was really good and interesting. The direction, the music, the audio.. it was generally a nice development of the scene from A New Hope. I actually want Sabine to fail: not because I don't like her anymore, but I think it would be an interesting course for a character to not reach a true connection to the Force, failing the training. Maybe that won't be the case since it already happened off screen. We already know she is a good fighter, even without the Force.

I loved Ahsoka in space, since it wasn't exaggerated. But I thought laser beams from spaceships were bigger and probably impossible to deflect with a light saber.
That part was intense too and I am becoming a fan of Shin Hati, even if there isn't a true development of her so far. I just hope she has an interesting story and won't be just a final adversary for Sabine. I am worried she'll represent the final arc for Sabine's training.
