Perfectly good episode. It felt a little easy, like an odd combination of The Last Samurai, Kung Fu Panda, and even Return of the Jedi, but Hondo is an entertaining villain, the action was well-choreographed and animated, and even if the story was pretty on-the-nose the whole way, they were grace notes for everyone involved to where you could tell the plot was well-structured even if the dialogue and themes were more clumsy, or at least blunt. It was a good enough "meat and potatoes" kind of episode of the show.
