It’s the moment we’ve been waiting for. Was it worth the wait? We got a lot of info dumping this episode, which was inevitable given Ahsoka’s grand entrance.

The Mandalorian S2 Ep4 Review
I wasn’t expecting that, and that’s a good thing. Okay, I finally conceded to the Mission of the Week format. It’s obviously staying. The showrunners made that clear at this point.
