Highlights for me:

Threepio

Ezra fighting like a monk

I wish they leaned into his force fighting a bit more. Like a tame version of Mace Windu in the old clone wars show lol

Ah yes. It was kind of like that! I thought it was pretty cool, I wanted more.

Monk fighting was great, although he seemed surprised by Shen giving him a little force push back.

[–] Anomalous_Llama@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Given he’s probably only fought raiders and troopers for the last decade a competent force user probably caught him a bit rusty

I just wish they leaned a bit harder into the force infused kung fu thing he had going on.

I really hoped that he would catch and return a few blaster bolts like Kylie Ren. That, or surround himself with a free free-floating blasters and let them fire as he continued to fight bare-handed.

What we got is still dope though. I loved how Shin’s saber beam flexed when he caught her blade to show the influence of the force push (catch?). I’m definitely watching that entire sequence again.
