I gave episodes 1 & 2 a B- primarily for pacing issues.
Episode 3 resolved my pacing concerns (dialogue seemed to move at a better pace), and the characterization of Hera (the bit we got of her) seemed more consistent with my expectations.
Most importantly, this episode was fun. I enjoyed the interactions between Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang. The dynamics of the three are interesting, and Huyang’s pessimism in regards to Sabine’s training gives Ahsoka a chance to be more optimistic than we saw in her interactions with Hera. It’s a good dynamic, and I look forward to seeing it play out further.
Less play with Baylan than I would have liked, but overall I think episode 3 exceeded the expectations I had coming out of the first two episodes.
Has there been any explanation why in rebels nobody mentioned Sabine being force sensitive and suddenly, Ahsoka had her as an apprentice and has her as an apprentice again?
I remember Kanan and Ezra teaching her to wield the dark saber, for example, but no mention of force sensitivity.
It would also seem strange to pick up Ezra as an apprentice having been with Sabine for as long as kanan had.
TikTok post with the clip where Kanan explaining to Hera. Episode 3 Ashoka even uses the same wording as Kanan.

Ah! Thank you! I’d forgotten all about this.
