-Pacing was a bit fast in some places

Overall, a 9/10. Brilliant and dark episode that makes me even more excited for what is to come. I despised the idea of Maul coming back, but I can't argue with these results. This is what this show is capable of and more.

 

7/10. A good start to a decent trilogy. I don't really count Revival as part of this arc, because absolutely nothing worthwhile happened in that dreck.

 

Best of the arc IMO.

9/10. Good to have Maul and Savage back as well as Death Watch. Got to see Bo-Katan with her helmet off! And traveling around the galaxy, taking over Black Sun and the Hutts was fun. As was that Bounty Hunters vs. Team Maul fight.
