5.7/10. There were really aping the science fiction noir of Blade Runner pretty hard here. When nobody was talking, and the episode just showed Ahsoka chasing her target through Coruscant, there was a real sense of place and visual storytelling that buoyed this one. But the endless lessons on the value of patience over being quick-to-act and the old Jedi Master who looked like a character from Dinosaurs and felt like a ripoff of Yoda were both pretty labored and hacky. There were some cool design on the eventual lightsaber thieves (one of whom kind of resembled a techno-Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas), and I like the idea of an odd couple pairing, but the story here was pitched so low that it was hard to get invested in it.
