This was a good episode. Some surprising decisions, new tech, and good twists.

I greatly appreciated this episode. It touched issues that I feel passionate about.

Many of the choices and questions asked remind us about situations of occupations versus resistances.

A very well crafted episode - great job!
I loved the dramatic scenes with the King of Onderon - very well done.
This series gets better as it goes along.

Excellent episode!

I thought the one-way shield was very clever. And the dialogue between the captured rebel leader and the Onderon general (the guy who defects) was well written and somewhat poignant. And the last third of this episode blew me away. Unexpected surprises and stunning action! I loved the particularly long take they sneaked in there of the rebels fighting droids and freeing the king amid the smoke. Very cool.

Overall, a solid arc. Got much, much better toward the end, though.

To me, this was the best episode of the new season. The story packed an emotional punch that had been lacking from the previous two episodes.

I have to respect the animators. Ahsoka’s subtle facial expressions during her communication with Obi-wan and Anakin perfectly mirrored her inner turmoil and the weight of situation.
