if i remember correctly, (and i'm sure i don't) somewhere in the legends stuff it talked about force powers being usable by any force user, it's just that certain powers; being more destructive in nature, tapped into the dark side. jedi didn't use them not necessarily out of principle, but out of their own protection as the jedi had become basically isolationistic in their ideals. for lack of a better description, they were afraid to use "dark side" powers because it MIGHT lead to corruption.
but like i said, i THINK there was something in legends that basically said it wasn't about what powers you used, but HOW you used them. mace windu used an extremely aggressive lightsaber style that was considered to tap into the dark side of the force, and i think there was another jedi that used force lightning. but... you know that's all out the window now so who knows.

Holy shit, that was a wicked episode. This is what the series should be. I hope they're able to carry this tone through the second season and trim all the cheesy shit that we saw mid season. How is this episode from the same series as the villager garbage? The tone is wildy all over the place, but when they get it right, it's good shit. Just have Deborah Chow direct them all
Also, Lucasfilms, take note: Cara Dune is how you write a believable, likable, tough female character. Gian Carano is killing it

Vibroblades. Almost as cutty as a lightsaber when turned on. Most blades in the star wars universe will be vibroblades.
Takes a lot of fuel. Not worth the cost if you have nowhere to be. There was a book where someone tried to hide in hyperspace for months and I think they went crazy. But that shit is no longer canon and they have decided fuel is a big issue.

Deborah Chow being the showrunner for Obi Wan's series has me feeling that it's in good hands after her episodes of Mandalorian.
The ending was super sad though
Note: why don't all the TIEs land like that?! Makes so much more sense than the silly hanging racks.
That's a new, probably special, TIE. The old ones can land too and they have a ladder that drops down from the cockpit.

YUP! She's totally fine, she's a badass without them making the male character a retard, and there's nothing about it being because she's female, etc. She's just a badass, she's respected, etc. I liked it when the guy was like "oh she should stay with the ship" and mando says "no she's coming with me." She has his respect. Fucking well done.

I read that it is the Outlander Tie Fighter. It has enhanced all-wheel-drive, an expedition cargo rack, and LED lighting for deep space missions. I didn't make the name up, but it made me think of a Jeep Tie Fighter.

Caught up on last couple pages here about Ep 6, and I don't get the vitriol. People taking this shit way too seriously for a show that's honestly kind of fun. It doesn't explain everything because fuck you it doesn't have to. Fill in the blanks you pretentious fucks. They're not doing anything that crazily breaks the universe or wildly outside the notions of what makes something Star Warsian. There is some cheese, but it's edible.
Also, I love the episodic aspect. It's the reason I can still re-watch Star Trek without having to watch every episode knowing which ones are great and which ones suck. I'll probably never go back and binge watch GOT or Walking Dead again. Only did with Breaking Bad after what ten years and because they released a followup film.
Ep 7 was awesome. Full on.
Breaking Bad looked a bit weird as what was that, effectively a Darth/Sith apprentice...? Crate dragons (?), force stuff, and double doublecross with the story finally moving forward since the first two episodes.
