Well, assuming they survived the glassing of Mandalore.
Glad to see I'm not the only one worried about Sabine's Lothcat. I had just assumed she probably left it with Ryder or the Senator.
When it comes to shows like this I find it's best to think of the individual episodes as being the chapters in a book, rather than the entire book. You can't expect a book to lay out every detail in the first two chapters.
I take it you never watched shows like Lost or Manifest? Shows like that will often go years without answering a lot of questions set up in their first episodes.

The impression I got was that the map wasn't to Thrawn, but that the Purgills took him and Ezra to the place where the map leads. I'm assuming this isn't a coincidence and the Purgills are somehow connected to this path to the other galaxy.
Just from the way it moved and looked, I think it was a combination of CGI and a puppet. When it was jumping and walking around it looks CGI, but when it was laying down or making simpler movements it looked like a puppet.
Yes, I'm hoping she brough them with, but I doubt it.
There is The Acolyte, which will take place during The High Republic era, which was hundreds of years before The Phantom Menace.
I may be wrong about this, but I thought Sloane wasn't promoted to Grand Admiral until just before Jakku? If so, it's possible New Republic records just don't have her listed as a Grand Admiral.
I wasn't really talking about that. I just mean that there's something inherently objective about the crawls, regardless of what people may and may not identify as.
No doubt the Whills will be bickering over this point in the 'From a Certain Point of View' book for this show in 40 years.
Oh I know what The Other One is. I was making a Discworld witch reference.
Generally speaking, people like that are the reason the slums exist in the first place.
They may or may not have been incinerated.
It was a fun thought, but look again. That shot faces the ocean side of the city, not the plains, and there's another speeder coming the opposite direction too.
True enough, but Clan Wren was supporting Bo Katan's uprising, so they could have been there for the Night of a Thousand Tears.
Pretty sure Maul got Qui-Gon right in the sternum or thereabouts (aka where all the important bits live.) Sabine's was in the lower abdominal flank. Worse case; she now has a length of cybernetic intestine to replace what the sabre cauterised, plus the cool scar.
As for GI; same deal as with Maul & Vader. Kept alive by pure hatred. Reva may have done some serious long term damage though, given how much weight he looses in the next 5 years . . .
You might be right. I honestly can't bring myself to go back and re-read the Aftermath novels to find out.
Mostly I just find it curious they they seemed to build this character up so much in various media, and then do nothing much of anything with her in the grand scheme of things.

It's okay for a show to have mysteries. It's not okay for it to skimp on vital storytelling information.
Knowing the difference is crucial.
It's fine to not know everything about the bad guys in the first two episodes. Who are they? Where are they from? Do they have hidden connections to our heroes? That creates intrigue. Fine.
We do need to know at least enough about them to perceive them as a legitimate thread and the show does that. But only sort of.
It doesn't make a case for why Thrawn is the most important man in the galaxy and why his return will usher in a new Empire.
In other areas, as my initial comments pointed out, the show skimps on info you do actually need.
Why does Ahsoka need Sabine's help in deciphering the map? It's never explained. It's never revealed what her special skills or insights are that allow her to twist the twistable sphere in a way Ahsoka couldn't figure out on her own. Given Ahsoka' bitchy reluctance to have anything to do with Sabine, that info is even more critical.
It's also not clear how an ancient artifact is going to help find a man who has been missing for five years. That's also information that the show needs to properly function.
The "mystery box" way of thinking has led to screenwriting ruin in the past 15 years and made people forget how to actually craft stories.
Unfortunately, Qui Gon's saber wound inflamed his already critical, chronic IBS.
So, Ezra and Thrawn are in a galaxy far, far away?
Hmmmm.
The position the beam pointed to looked suspiciously like roughly where Earth would be in the Milky Way.

Just a galaxy far away.
It is explained. Ahsoka says thinks her artistic insight will help her see things others can't.
It has to do with the Purgil, you see art them circling the point of light going towards the galaxy in the map when its activated. Purgil took Thrawn and Ezra away.
It is fine when it is written as one big story.
Hmmm. I'll watch a series recap before the next episode.
I honestly feel like Rebels got better faster than Clone Wars did. I know at least one die hard fan (and I mean someone who has read most EU books and stuff and has been a fan since the 90s) that prefers Rebels over Clone Wars.
I must have missed that. Watched it twice now too.
This was also (annoyingly) my biggest concern.
Now that would be an interesting twist I could get behind.
I've never had a cat and I still couldn't help but think about how it was going to get fed, surely one of the biggest gaffes in Star Wars history. It didn't help that they showed Sabine explicitly feed it in a very manual manner.
