    So what are you hoping to see in this episode?

    Is it possible Yularen is also a Fulcrum Agent and he helps bail out Kallus at the cost of Yogar Oste or whatever his name getting blamed?

    He does know Ahsoka and it wouldn't stretch much if he was trying to keep the Empire from going full on darkside?

    Yularen is in ANH so that wouldn't be possible. From the looks of things that this episode is about Thrawn and Yularen figuring out the identity of Fulcrum and the crew of the Ghost rescuing Kallus.

    I'm guessing Kallus either dies here or in the next episode.

    But, this is certainly going to be one of those interesting episode, which focuses of the Imperials quite a bit and the inner workings of the Empire.

    Finally, after all this Mandalore stuff (which I'm not a very big fan of) some Empire action! :D

    Really looking forward to this episode. One of the first episodes I was able to avoid almost all of the spoilers/teasers for. (Except for two screens on some teaser video's Youtube placed in my suggestion box)

    I was never really a big fan of the Mandalore arc (although Trials of the Darksaber was awesome) and I'm glad we're getting to see more of the Empire.

    Be nice to see how much Yalaren has changed from TCW.

    Neat clip of Thrawn training with the Imperial Sentries, we need to see more stuff like this!

    Thrawn figures out Kallus is Fulcrum because he saves Ezra, who wore a helmet with Sabine's artwork. Thrawn does nothing but states "Agent Fulcrum will prove far more useful to the Empire than Kallus ever was" Yularen is a useless cameo, Thrawn figured things out not Yularen; which is somewhat disappointing. Yualren didn't even need to be in this episode.

    Yularen was brought in because of his personal history with Kallus, rather than to actually find the spy. It puts Kallus at ease and would make him think his deception was more convincing if there were fewer suspicious eyes on him, which is exactly what Thrawn wants to make sure he can keep using Kallus as Fulcrum. Thrawn already knew or at least heavily suspected it was Kallus, but now he has confirmation and has shared this specifically with Yularen to further play with Kallus.

    I did wonder why
    Yularen didn't give any orders to have a tractor beam ready or launch fighters at the end of the episode, when he arrives in the hangar bay. He couldn't have known that Kallus was going to stay on board and would have had a chance to capture several Rebels as well as Fulcrum.

    I'm a fan of Imperial characters in general, so to have the entire roster of officers (minus Tarkin) in one episode and with such focus was a great treat. Good episode, with some genuinely tense moments.

    Just a quick question. Is the entire episode 1st person POV, like the trailer?

    Was I the only one
    That was a bit annoyed that Thrawn's fleet consisted of just three ISD's ?

    I don't know why you would be. I mean Vader's fleet in ESB consisted of only 6 SDs. Rebels has been keeping the size and scope more consist with the films than the EU.

    One of my favorite episodes of the season so far.
    Did anyone else notice Commander Gree's helmet during the scuffle in Thrawn's office? It can only be seen in one shot but it was there.

    Am i the only one who thinks that Thrawn realized that one of the red planets was missing? I mean, he knows the number to which he narrowed down his search, so he should realize that one of them was missing. Maybe he even knows which one.

    Thrawn isn't stupid. I'm sure he has a back up or has the worlds memorized somehow.

    Thought Thrawn was going to take the bait regarding Lyste for a second there. Glad to see the writers didn't make him that stupid. I wonder if Yularen is going to become a series regular now.

    I was thinking about that too. I'm sure he actually knows one of them was deleted.

    A planet wasn't missing. Chopper replaced it with a different planet. Though I expect Thrawn knows one was replaced and it will figure out which one was, if he doesn't know already.

    Well, they deleted Atollon and replaced it with another one. I doubt he know every one of the planets. I guess he would need a back up to notice it!
