There were a lot of good things in this episode. Aside from storytelling, the themes of pride and family, the unique design of a glass castle in the snow, and Sabine’s final fight with Saxon. So much symbolism too. At one point there’s a shot inside the house with golden sunlight streaming through the window where Sabine and Saxon crashed through; I saw it as a metaphor of Sabine breaking through her chilly home reception and her family’s indifference, allowing back in the love and courage they lost when they submitted to the Empire. Then when Ezra gives her his lightsaber, she’s taking on the Jedi discipline she was taught in order to overcome Saxon.

Since watching “Clone Wars” I’ve seen the Mandalorains cause terrible things to happen among themselves, often steeped in their own pride and honor. (Vizla’s alliance with Maul definitely backfired on him!) So it was inspiring when Ursa told Kanan that they had to reclaim their honor by standing up to the Empire at last. I’m sure some fans feel bittersweet that Sabine is with her family but I’m glad, since she assures them she won’t be leading Mandalore but will work on helping her family while finding a suitable leader. If the Jedi mission is to ensure peace and justice in the galaxy, Ezra and Kanan have successfully done their part by helping Sabine come physically and emotionally back home.

This show has really grown on me. Sabine has become one of my favorite characters and I am really hating seeing her leave the rebels. I was also secretly starting to hope that something would develop between her and Ezra later on. This was an amazing episode and I really enjoyed it.
