The Disney+ series Ahsoka debuted to high expectations, but did it do justice to the fan-favorite Star Wars characters that it revisited? For Eric, Grace, and Haley, the answer — at least when it comes to three of the show’s most important characters — is no.

Eric and Grace disagree about the value of the World Between Worlds sequence, Grace and Haley disagree about the merits of Sabine wanting to be a Jedi, and we’re all mad about how Ezra and Sabine’s long-awaited reunion played out. Plus: Should Ezra have been more like Yoda? And what if Sabine is a lot like Superman?
