Unlike the MCU, Star Wars canon is not limited to what is on-screen. There have been plenty of new novels and comics that are part of the current canon, some involving Thrawn.

Dead condition can be removed by..."Becoming dead" -- the new euphemism for "dying"!
"Gaining the Dead condition".

Indeed, specifically the canon novel Thrawn: Treason, which refers to the Rebels finale and the precarious state of Thrawn's relationship with the emperor at that time.
As for Luthen, it's called good acting. If you watch it closely you can tell what a character is thinking.

That episode felt more like THX 1138 than Star Wars.

looks like Saw was already a little crazy before Rogue One

I was thinking about the drink tube and if you could use it to fry the floor outside the pods

Perhaps, but it only seems to dispense via suction, so there's no opening the valve to spray out a large quantity, and no receptacles to store extra - even the plate and fork have to be stowed away, vertically, after use. They don't even use liquid water in the showers.
On the other hand, it's only the Imperials' feet that are fully insulated, and the floor is electrified in large sections at a time, so it's tough to target specific individuals. Trip an officer and press their face into the floor and you've got a hostage.

I love the empire in this show.
All the rebel stuff is just dull

It's a show about small people in a very big galaxy. Not a one of them would come out of the Total Perspective Vortex alive.
But that makes them so relatable. You can see small things like how the tension goes out of Lt. Meero when her boss defends her to his boss. She might be a cog in the workings of a fascist regime,* but we've all had those meetings, when our career depends on approval from the higher-ups.
* Which I think for the first time we're now also seeing on the personal (as opposed to the "blowing up planets") scale. Andor being arrested and sentenced simply for being in wrong place, prisoners' sentences being doubled with no explanation, and their treatment in general, Bix being arrested based purely on assumption.

I agree with the rest, but I don't think this was the case. She was brought in for interrogation as part of the investigation into Cassian, both because she's a known associate and because she was involved in the prior incident. Very deliberate targeting in her case.
I agree with that, I was referring more to the "Hey, you look like someone we're looking for", without first confirming her identity.

They had a picture. There was the whole "if you're not her, the resemblance is striking" line. I don't think calling her out by name is the sign of a faceless oppressor.

Well, this show is certainly slowing back down again, almost as bad as the first two episodes. I almost did not even finish the latest one.

Strangely, for me the "war" episode felt a bit flat, but I loved the last two episodes.

I suspect that this episode will be the last of that for a while. The hating her husband part will probably continue, if, as seems likely, he just escalated the breakdown of their marriage by getting/having Tay killed.

i'm starting to think Mon's husband is just a twit and not intentionally being a bad guy. I'm also waiting for the daughter to do something like give her parents an actual what-the hell talk
