- Quotes
Karis Nemik: [Recording] There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this. Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The Imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this: the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this. Try.

This is a very strong finish to the season with great tension and character moments.
The plot mostly follows the funeral from the perspective of several characters and in doing so it gradually increases the tension to a great boiling point moment. This is superbly done by the writers and filmmakers.
It has some very strong scenes of political rebellion against oppression and this is exactly what the story requires. One moment made the hairs on the back standup and feels like a plausible depiction of a powder keg situation. It all feels part of the Star Wars universe and should be appreciated by fans who admire the underlying themes of the movies and not just the action-adventure aspect.
All the cast are excellent but the standout performance for me is by Fiona Shaw.
As ever the visuals, sound, and editing is superb. Watch out for the mid-credits scene which is another nerdgasm moment and links brilliantly to the Narkina 5 episodes.
