Thought it was a very good episode. Glad to hear Genevieve O'Reilly as Mon Mothma again, and to get Dutch Vander a nod as Gold Leader. Also a big fan of the TIE Defender.
Looking forward to Season 4. I'm guessing it will be far more time-compressed and that one episode will follow directly on the heels of the previous, unlike the more separated episodes we currently have. Or at least be made up more of Clone Wars-style multi-parters.
This season we know we have the resolution of the Ezra-Maul-Kenobi storyline, and I would presume the climax of Thrawn's endgame in locating/attacking Chopper Base.
So what's left?
- Thrawn's defeat and/or departure/death
- Ezra and Kanan's ultimate fate
- Some closure to Bendu and his interfacing with Ezra/Kanan
- Sabine finding a new leader for Mandalore
- Hera's promotion to General in the Alliance
- and maybe, some explanation of why the Ghost was at Scarif and not at the Battle of Yavin, if Rebels actually takes us through Episode IV and not just Rogue One.
Other rumored/possible events to be worked in:
- Appearance of Baze Malbus
- Appearance of Maz Kanata
- Ultimate fate of Ahsoka Tano
I see two pretty distinct storylines coming out of all that. One being on the Jedi side with Kanan and Ezra, who I think will ultimately die and find a place in the Force outside the Jedi, respectively. And one on the Rebellion side which I think must involve in getting the Mandalorians to fight against the Empire on their homeworld.
