So, yeah, let's address the elephant in the room. The parallels to The Empire Strikes Back. While the rest of the team are in the Earth Kingdom (Cloud City), Aang travels to one of the air temples to meet Guru Pathik (Yoda), who teaches him how to harness his chakras (the Force) only for the training to be interrupted when Aang has premonitions of his friends being captured. (Darth Vader capturing Han and Leia).
Putting all that aside, this episode is just bursting with intrigue and philosophy. It is truly fascinating learning about chakras and the analogies and metaphors they use to describe this real-life philosophy.
Builds up perfectly to the following episode.
