Ugh....stupidly short episode and it is one of the main drivers of bad live action Star Wars.
It is like the writers cannot come up with enough content to fill out a series so we stretch a 2 hour plot into 8 episodes.
Sure, there was some good stuff but I am not left wanting more. I am left being frustrated because they just cannot get to the point.
I find that there is just no pay off for investing time in a weekly show using this format.
They have the budget to do more and fill out 8 45-60 minute episodes (and I do not consider 6-8 minute opening and credits as part of runtime) that spend more time developing the plot an character.
And do not get me started on plot. The writers seem to forget about connective tissue and things just happen because the plot demands it.
Again, frustrating.

Good call. If episode 7 is the second flashback, then they're definitely positioning for a big reveal of the bad guy at the end of the episode, and moving Vernestra into position for the showdown in episode 8.

Mae and Osha are also metaphysically created identical twins, and twins and duality carries a lot of metaphysical weight with the Force; it's quite likely that they're hard to disentangle and differentiate within the Force.
I also think it's easy to forget that the Force isn't impersonal, it has awareness and a sense of fate and destiny. It's quite possible for the Force to hide information if it's necessary for fate to proceed as it should.

Indeed. A Jedi needs to be calm to access the force. The state Sol is in he couldn’t levitate an ant.
If he he had Sith training he could use his grief to access the Force, but he doesn’t, so he can’t.

This seems quite probable. The shape of the scar matches (and for those who don’t know they showed the light-whip in the same episode), Qimir says he was trained as a Jedi “a very long time ago” - more than 16 years at least. Which might suggest he can use the Force to extend his own life…

This one felt a little bit too short, and we get yet another delay of Sol telling the full story in a way that really feels annoying, just padding the story instead of getting to the good stuff. The good stuff of course would have been more Qimir. Jason has gone a long way from his Buddhist monk cover...
