i love the juxtaposition of another fucking Mon Mothma dinner party with the prison scenes. this show knows how to drive home Class Differences

Saw Gerrera is perfect in this. I'm always kind of antsy around depictions of Saw for all the obvious reasons - he's a very easy character to fuck up. It's clear they're trying to set up his paranoid persona that we see in Rogue One here but what I love is that it's a paranoia that... makes sense. For all Saw knows, he truly is the only leftist in the galaxy. It's not safe to talk to anyone else, most of the other rebels he knows are (as he correctly puts it) Separatists or neo-Republicans. Why would he trust anyone at this point? Everyone isn't interested in actual change as much as they are interested in rebuilding a shitty system.

Luthen continues to be wonderful here. An innate survivalist, eking out resources wherever he can. I relish every scene he's in, there's just so much going on at all times. So many conflicting personas clashing within him.

Cinta and Vel... Cinta and Vel. One of my absolute favorite, all-timer angst tropes is the Battle Spouses, who realize too late that their relationship cannot survive when off the battlefield. Cinta and Vel are that. It's heartbreaking, and you know it's coming. Cinta is more committed, and Vel knows it. Cinta's told her this. You can see their entire future etched out in that one scene. Gorgeous. Heartbreaking.
