I really want you to be wrong but i fear you may be spot on. Yeah that devil dude was just the worst, espesh just after he did those 2 droids. I was being generous with "good again" if i'm honest with myself.
The originality has been sucked out pretty quick. The exploration of the Dark side, anything. They may have someone with the dark side of the force as a series climax but that would suck because we have had nothing to know so far. Carl Weathers is the seeming bad guy for the season and it is weak or tedious, not sure which, possibly a bit of both. We need to have more information of the repurcussions should Weathers get Yoda, where is he taking him, a hint of their goals etc. So far we have seen what is seemingly his (Weathers) personal best at the end of episode 3. We need more risk and threat because the show seems to be running out of originality already.
They may do as i note above or similar story wise but it is going to be drawn out to hell going by current pacing.
It can recover and i hope it does. It has gone from great to good, now it is staring in the face of "ok".
