The devious pirate returns to give our heroes details about some much-needed weapons and while there are some mirthful moments, it simply isn’t enough at such an advanced stage of SWR. Stuck in a space storm, the Ghost crew could get what they need for probably the 250th time (who’s counting?) without too much fuss.
With just three more episodes to go, the makers need to up the stakes if we are to continue watching the denizens of a galaxy far, far away.
