I have a feeling all those detours will all play a part in the back end of the season. The detour to Coruscant gave us the spy connection to Moff Gideon which led us right to what happened at the end of last ep.

Nevarro has played an integral part in shifting the narratives of post War life and how people are finding their way in the New Republic as did the Ep with Lizzo and Jack Black.

Favreau and Filoni are both masters at delving into obscure Star Wars references to bring into things as well as laying several paths for them to follow and pick from narratively to pull together some very interesting twists. Grogu and IG 12? Come on...did anyone see that coming?
