A really solid pilot episode.
I really dug the Tales of the Jedi short series and was ecstatic when this was announced. Filoni and company managed to flesh out Elsbeth more in just this episode alone. You can't help but feel for her. She chooses a path of hatred and revenge, but you understand why.
Seeing the assault on Dathomir once again brought back fond memories of that Clone Wars episode. General Grievous isn't one of my favorite Star Wars characters, but he does have some effective screen time in the shows and movie, and he does here as well.
And holy moly. The animation in this episode (and the others) is seriously phenomenal. It's super clean, super detailed and still so fitting to the Star wars canon all of these years later.
This was a great short. It hit all of the right emotional beats and still felt in-line with this universe. I also really enjoyed learning even more about the residents of Dathomir.
