That is amazing! I didn’t even think if that! I was so focused on Maul, that I completely glossed over Ezra! Two questions, same answer! Brilliant!

Oh yes, especially since Thrawn is expected to be a tremendous threat to the Rebellion and Ezra will have to step up his game.

Sam Witwer’s voice makes Maul an entertaining and malicious adversary. He’s calm and eloquent one minute but can turn cruel and vicious the next. He torments the Ghost crew but reserves special interest in Ezra and in the unknown future. It makes him an unpredictable foe.

Ezra realized that Kanan is blind but not hindered. His master is growing wiser and stronger in the Force. Last episode was about Kanan realizing that he still needed Ezra and this episode was about Ezra reaching out towards his master. Their embrace in the cave was an emotional high point.

I’m sure Ezra’s dance with the Dark Side is far from over. He does the right thing by listening to Kanan in this episode but it doesn’t erase the damage Ezra has done in the past or his ongoing desire to protect his friends. I suspect as the series progresses we’ll see Ezra in further conflicting situations. The writers have put a lot into “Rebels”as they did “Clone Wars” and will show us how much is at stake, especially with the countdown to the Death Star.

Maul’s “hope” is final revenge against Obi-Wan while Ezra, who wants to destroy the Sith, sees Tatooine (home of Luke Skywalker). Though they ask different questions, they’re being shown the same answer.
