Lucasfilm and Disney really cannot give up Grogu. They should not. They probably WILL NOT. What could have come off as a horrible parody ended up being cute and funny. It could still end up being terrible, but for now, we must admit, we like Independent Grogu-12.

Who are the titular spies? Elia Kane is certainly one. Does Brindol Hux count because his son famously declares himself as one many years later? What about any and all of the Imperial remnant?

You don't bother building up people just to destroy them later if you can just manufacture the destruction at any time. It's not like she couldn't have done it safely. She also didn't hesitate to crack skulls in the Nevarro sewers, bust up the pirates, or abandon the group.

It would have been hard not to improve on last week's episode, but the penultimate one for season three moved us toward what promises to be an amazing finale. We'll have to see Chapter 24 before we know, but we have the best thing in the galaxy on our side: hope.
