While I have enjoyed moments in Ahsoka, the series has increasingly felt like world building for the next big Star Wars project rather than a standalone series with its own tale to tell. Glacially moving the plot incrementally forward, in a race to Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) neither side feels all that compelled to win yet, the fourth episode of the series does offer some individual moments of note. We get a lightsaber battle in the woods of Seatos with Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) killing the nameless Inquisitor eliminating all the preposterous fan theories about the character’s identity and importance to the series. We also get Ahsoka pairing off against Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) who reveals he knew Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), without, of course, providing any helpful details to his character or past.

As the slow build-up to the search for Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi) and Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) begins (that’s right, more than a third through the series it still hasn’t actually started yet for an ongoing story that is already longer than the original Star Wars), “Time to Fly” at least sees Ahsoka (Rosario Dawson) and Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) get to the right planet and observe our baddies building a giant hyperspace drive. We do get a little action as they get shot down, but the episode’s bulk is internal discussions and training involving Ahsoka and Sabine and Hera Syndulla‘s (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) inability to get the New Republic leadership to take the threat seriously.
