Probably an unpopular opinion but the Heroes of Mandalore sucked. Spoilers ahead.Â
Either the creators totally forgot Kanan Jarrus is blind (oops, again) or the Jedi Knight unlocked a new, previously unknown Force power. Sigh. Yeah, I get that being attuned with the Force may help, but it can’t possibly completely replace his eyesight.Â
Erza … OH GOD WHY … his problems with the jetpacks were so amateurish. Clearly some time passed between the Season 03 and Season 04 (at least enough to make Kallus get a chubby look), meaning he could have practiced with the jetpack meanwhile. You know, Ezra, maybe it could even give you an excuse to be near Sabine, since you’re so obviously into her now (or… again).
Kanera: Sigh. Oh god, that dialogue was so cliché. Like the biggest cliché in the universe. I’d have expected this in the early episodes, but not in the kriffing Season 04. I had hoped for something more … mature. So disappointing.
Mandos serving the Empire: JUST SHOOT YOURSELF, PLEASE … OMG Does wearing the Imperial emblem dumb them down automatically or does the Empire attract only the dumb and the dumber? There were some Stormtroopers (no one expects brainz from the bucketheads), but most antagonists in this episodes were actual Mandalorians serving the Empire. Jango Fett is rolling in his grave… So sad.Â
The Dutchess: I can’t even! Okay, even if I close my eyes and imagine such selective weapon might have existed (hey, it’s Star Wars, who cares about being realistic), Sabine being able to turn it into its full potential and then re-program it so smoothly against the Empire makes her into Sabine the Great once again. Wow, even Thrawn wouldn’t figure it out. They needed her only to have her press a couple of buttons. Just kill her off, please. You’re ruining her by turning her into a Mary Sue. Not only she can use a lightsaber (well, technically it’s a darksaber but whatever) without being a Force User, now she turned into Galen Erso squared.
Poor Thrawn, he’s so wasted on the show. Don’t take me wrong, I like the Rebels, I really do, but this episode was just so badly written, with so many opportunities wasted. Killing off Sabine’s mother and brother would have added so much depth to the story, for example… Or having Ezra finally behaving like a soldier of the Rebellion, not like a kid. Or established relationship between Kanan and Hera (I love Kanera!). Or, you know, just having the two behave like the adults they are, not like teens.Â
