Best. Episode. Ever! Now THAT is how you do a Season Finale and
even better, I didn't know what to expect because the episode
was a long con right from the start. Twilight of the Apprentice
was written and designed for the die-hard Star Wars fan and it
delivers. As you already know, this is the episode that
reintroduces Darth Maul and it was misleading which helped sell
the long con. Having Maul basically take on his own version of
Yoda did throw me off a bit at first. I was expecting to get the
classic Darth Maul from Phantom Menace. But we get this
Yoda/Emperor type of character as he tries to lure Ezra to the
dark side. Even giving Maul a walking stick/cane went a long way
to convince me he was battle worn and "old". I kept waiting for
him to reveal his true self and he finally does, but then it's
as a 'Good Guy'. I wasn't expecting to see him battling the
Inquisitors and I certainly wasn't expecting to see him killing
all 3. Very shocked! I'm gonna miss Seventh Sister (Sarah
Michelle Gellar).
I thought it was a great reveal when we see Darth Maul
unsheathing his iconic Saber from his cane. Very cool. I also
thought it was kinda cool to see that the Inquisitors are able
to turn their propellers Sabers into a mode of transportation.
They should have used that as a mode of escape to get away from
Maul. Too late. As great as it was to see Maul, leave it to
Darth Vader to upstage him. We get an epic duel between Vader,
Ezra and more importantly....Ahsoka. She even split his helmet,
revealing Skywalker underneath. The final shot/camera pan, zoom
and tracking shot to close out the episode was fantastic. It
gave me goosebumps. We see Maul flying off into space in his
Tie-Fighter, we see Vader hobbling out from the ashes of the
Sith Temple and I think I saw Ahsoka hiding in the shadows of
what was left of the Temple. Not entirely sure. Anyway, this
episode was great and I can't wait for Season 3. One thing that
was hinted at in this episode is the potential of a Maul/Vader
duel. Could it happen in Season 3? I really hope it does.
