Good points, but you gotta admit, this is done much better than the other live actions (maybe on par with Andor).
Sabine may have never seen anyone other than Kanen do the hair thing, and she wanted to get back to her old kick ass self.
The "ancient" star map and location of a character that supposedly got there after the map was made is really annoying. It makes no sense.
Also when the apprentice hunts down Sabine it felt like Maul hunting Padme on Tatooine.
Lots of positives about the site though too, right? CGI is good, acting is good, nice call backs to Rebels and when Force Ghost Anakin appears I'm sure there will be CW references too. I like the friction between Ahsoka and Sabine, and the remake of the closing scene of Rebels toward the end of Ep2 was simple but nicely done.
Just because the characters thought it was a map to Thrawn they were looking for and it actually being a map to where Thrawn was doesn't mean that it was created with that intended purpose.
It seemed pretty heavily implied that Lady Morgan had supposed what happens to Thrawn and knew of the existence of this device that would let her travel to where she believed Thrawn was.
Disney has taken a lot of creative license with Star Wars cannon, and has been very unapologetic about it. At first I thought this was another example of fuck the story we want to sell toys, the surprise tie in to the final scene of Rebels was well done and gave me some serious nostalgia vibes.
