Another great episode. Next to Andor this feels the most consistent.

Loved all the pirate stuff, especially the music. We’re definitely seeing Jod at his worst here, but I want to believe he’ll change in the last episode. His comments to the kids about them being spoiled seemed almost jealous, like he never got the chance to have a real childhood.

Jod just taking out Brutus was definitely dark, but all of the good children’s stories have a bit of darkness in them, I’m glad Disney is acknowledging that.

I think the communication beacon will be relevant and will bring the New Republic into things in the final episode.

I’m convinced that the Supervisor is a droid or automated in some way. It’s been hinted at and lampshaded now a few times.

I want to believe that Jod’s saber being blue means he’s not all bad and still has some good in him, though that belief has been tested quite a bit in this episode!

I wouldn’t take the blue lightsaber to mean anything. It’s not his saber, it’s a random saber from Rennod’s vault that Wim picked up. Whatever color it is would be based on the original Jedi who created it and bonded with the kyber crystal inside.
