I am begging Dave Filoni to give us more character development.
The Big Picture Master and apprentice, order and chaos, failure and corruption: these thematic notions have defined Star Wars since Luke Skywalker accepted the guidance of Obi-Wan Kenobi on a desert planet in 1977. Episode 4 of Ahsoka series, "Fallen Jedi," swings for the fences attempting to address similar concepts through a less optimistic lens.
Since Palpatine was all about gathering as much power as possible, he kept the Rule of Two intact with no intention of letting his apprentices replace him. The obvious subtext here is that Palpatine never viewed his proteges — Darth Maul , Count Dooku , and Anakin — as anything more than tools for the furthering of his selfish agenda. Every interaction with Maul was distant, manipulative, and technically abusive .
After Episode 1's ominous beginning, almost every insight into these new characters comes from Ray Stevenson and Ivanna Sakhno. Both deliver mesmerizing performances, Sakhno a golden talent simmering with lethal intent and Stevenson shining as the veteran of pathos he was. The actors are superbly aware of one another, tracking minute gestures and intuiting moods without words.
Similar intrigue follows Baylan, whom the beloved Stevenson infuses with an indomitable presence that practically steals the show . Why is Baylan mentoring this young woman? What's his history with the Jedi beyond being a surviving member who conveniently knows that Anakin became Vader? The little dialogue Filoni deals out suggests Baylan is neither Jedi nor Sith but an indefinable in-between.
