Using the framework of the works of Edgar Allen Poe as a guide, The Fall of the House of Usher begins with a funeral and a confession. Roderick Usher (Bruce Greenwood), the CEO of a pharmaceutical company that has skirted and broken laws for decades, invites the attorney who has worked in vain to bring him to justice to his crumbling boyhood home to offer confession and revelation about the evils his family brought upon the world over the past few decades and the evils brought upon them in the past two weeks leaving only Roderick and his sister Madeline (Mary McDonnell) alive.

Zombie Troopers! With the final episode in the books, the question lingers about Ahsoka. Was it a success? Presented as a contained mini-series, not as a chapter to a larger narrative, the results are mixed. But the ending did have Zombie Troopers! After dicking around for half its run, the show finally started developing the plot in its final three episode leaving far too little time to deal with Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) and his return.
