In light of A More Civilized Age's take on Sabine, it does really feel like Filoni just doesn't know what to do with her. The decision to make Sabine Ahsoka's doomed-to-fail Jedi apprentice is still mind-boggling to me. They could use this as an opportunity to make a point about "anyone can learn to use the Force; Jedi are full of shit, actually." But, that doesn't feel like it's where they're taking things. I also feel like Ahsoka's flip from refusing the title of Jedi at the end of The Clone Wars and in Rebels to seeming to, at the least, passively accept the label in the post-OT Filoniverse feels weird. It seems like the switch is important enough that I'd have liked to see it flip.

A starfighter just feels like the wrong vessel for a bounty hunter. There's no room for prisoners. You can't lay down. Nowhere to shit. It's got a hyperdrive, sure. But it can't be good for a long trip.
. . . the Razorcrest is such a good hero ship. An original profile, but clearly in a tradition seen before (it feels like a Star Wars ship, unlike most of the non-capital new entries in the sequel trilogy). Also, it had one thing a lot of sci-fi space ships lack: a place to take a shit.
Sticking him with a hot-rodded up N1 feels like the sort of mistake the sequels make. Tossing in a Star Wars thing just to be a Star Wars thing.
Grogu eating the frog lady's eggs upsets me too much. Smash that little big eared bastard.
It's interesting that in this show, with one exception, the only people who talk about their politics with any kind of passion are Imperials, and their talking points go unaddressed by the protagonist.
It's a truly weird dynamic where Wernor Hertzog can spout off about how Fascism brings order and prosperity without any other character challenging that idea.
Not that I'm saying The Mandalorian should be trying to copy Andor's brilliant character writing. I don't need Greef Karga to deliver a soliloquy about the virtues of free trade or some other such nonsense. But it would be really easy to just . . . have the Imperials be savvy enough to know that Mando doesn't care about their fascist talking points?
Anyway. I actually liked season 2 better than I remembered. Probably because I skipped episode 2.
