    Baylan is easily the most interesting character to come out of Star Wars in a while and I’m terribly disappointed that this season will be his only live-action appearance. I agree with everything he said in this episode about the Jedi Order and the cyclical nature of the Star Wars universe. He reminds me of Kreia, but not an asshole and with (seemingly) better intentions. Ultimately he’s probably learned the wrong lessons from the Order’s fall, but so far, he isn’t really wrong.

      He was so great in “Rome.” I like that trope of the old warrior, disillusioned with the people he fought for. Kind of a, Jedi Smedley Butler.
      So sad that he missed out on the career resurgence he was about to experience.
      At least he’s immortal. Like all actors captured on film.

      He’s a Ronin Jedi
      Kinda similar to the lead character in Yojimbo
      I see a bit of Kurosawa influence in the show
