⚪︎Diversionary operations
Sabine and Ezra send Balan and Shin away from the fortress. And conveniently, Ahsoka was still alive and went straight to Sabine. It distracts the enemy. Her first goal is probably to reunite with Sabine anyway.
She sends two minimal squads of troopers to buy time. Then, tired Ahsoka and the others are bombarded with Chimera fire from above. Later, the fortress was easily destroyed by Chimera's fire. The advantage of attacking from a high place.
⚪︎Unexpected
Despite being hit with a barrage of gunfire, Ahsoka and her friends all survived! The fortress is invaded. Jedi are more trouble than the average rebel. Sloan reluctantly brings in the Night Troopers. I wanted to keep the trooper's casualties to a minimum, but I had no choice.
The look on Sloan's face at this moment is a must-see. My calculations were broken. But he soon calms down. There is also a second and third plan that I have kept.
(It's a completely different situation, but the change in Palpatine's complexion in the middle of EP1 The Phantom Menace comes to mind. "I'm going back to Naboo.")
The look on his face the moment his calculations go awry is a sight to behold. Actor Lars Mikkelsen's performance is superb! Unlike Vader, he doesn't wear a mask, so you can clearly see him.
⚪︎Desperate situation
Even Morgan fights, stopping Ahsoka in her tracks. Taking advantage of that opportunity, I boarded the plane and took off without any interference. Morgan never expected to be left behind by Sloane. It's a strategic sacrifice. Thanks to her, Sloan is able to escape. If Ahsoka had never come to this planet in the first place, she would never have been sacrificed.
Sloan wants to hyper jump as quickly as possible, but since Ahsoka is approaching, Sloan does it calmly and doesn't rush. If you make a mistake here, you will be trapped on this planet forever. In other words, if we can persevere here, we will be able to achieve considerable results. A split-second decision changes the fate of the galaxy.
However, they had no idea that Ezra was secretly on board. The Jedi hero who drove Thrawn to this planet has deceived him once again. Ezra and Sloan's relationship.
⚪︎Sloan is grateful to the Grade Mothers. It was Glade Mother who sent the signal to Morgan in the first place. Even if the Jedi Knights perish, users of the Force and magic will still be very useful. To put it bluntly, both the Emperor and Lord Vader were Force users. Thrawn must have regretted not being a Force sensual himself. If he could use the Force, he could be the Emperor's right-hand man! That's why I will be using Grade Mother heavily from now on!
⚪︎Disappointed
Just one step away from cornering Sloan, he misses. The look on Ahsoka's face shows her fatigue and frustration. Not only does she miss Thrawn, she can't return to her galaxy. I can't even warn Hera.
(During the Clone Wars, Anakin and Ahsoka were run away by Grievous and Dooku many times. The regret from that time will come back. However, this time it will be in a different dimension.)
I couldn't destroy the giant hyperspace ring, even though it was in scope! Perhaps Sloan had anticipated this and judged that there was no way he would attack. If it is destroyed, Ahsoka and her friends will not be able to return to their own galaxy.
(This is a completely later story, but during the time of the First Order, tracking technology using hyper jumps was established.)
⚪︎Ezra lands on Home One again on Baylan and Shin's ship. It's similar to the opening scene of the first episode. The ingenuity of Filoni's story is evident in this sense of unity at the beginning and end.
⚪︎What did Sloan carry? What's inside the coffin? What I understand is that Sloan succeeded in transporting everything. This is the biggest stepping stone for the sequel.
⚪︎Navigating in hyperspace
Sloan celebrates his victory. I didn't expect it to involve so many sacrifices, but it turned out to be a success. The first objective was accomplished perfectly. Despite being her enemy, she admired Ahsoka. Anakin Skywalker trained him. Although she was jealous of Lord Vader, she didn't want to lose to his apprentice Ahsoka.
Now, if you return to your original galaxy, won't you go to the Emperor? Does the Empire still exist?
The Emperor considers the loss of Thrawn to be the second greatest loss to the Empire after the destruction of the Death Star. Sloan will be used again. That is, if only the Emperor's one-power system could be maintained.
(It is better to keep the existence of the Grade Mother a secret from the emperor)
*The empire fell, the system ruled by the emperor collapsed, and democracy was restored. The remnants of the Empire have signed a truce. Sloane doesn't know that fact. Now that the Empire no longer exists, he declares his resurrection in the galaxy, and by appearing in public, he has few allies. The remnants of the Empire do not want to violate the armistice.
It will be difficult to take action now that we cannot use our vast military assets as we once did.
