OK, those just flew past! I'm a little sad it's over already!
Overall my first impression is very positive! Not a lot of surprises with Morgan's story, especially given that we know where it's headed, but it's a nice compliment to the Barriss episode. One path that goes down willingly into darkness, one that chooses the light.
I also like how restrained it all was about making connections. Don't get me wrong there were plenty of little bits of trivia that seemed to tie together 'The Mandalorian', 'Rebels', and even 'Kenobi', but they never felt out of place, and never more than was needed. For example; in the last episode Barriss mentioned an "old friend" she was sending the youngling to. The first thought is of course Ahsoka . . . but it knowing what we know now, Ventress of all people might actually be the more likely option! Wouldn't that be poetic and ironic all at once? Cere Junda and Tala are dead by this point, but I guess Merrin could also be a possibility? Or it's someone else we've never heard of; point is they didn't need to say who it was, and so left it up to our imaginations!
I'll probably do a more in-depth breakdown later, bit for now; am I the only one noticing that this show seems to feature a lot of women carrying other injured women around? Not sure if that's an intentional metaphor, or why that stood out to me in particular, but it did!
