We're one step away from a 'somehow, Thrawn returned' moment.
The Big Picture Let’s admit the truth: Star Wars has never been a franchise that's affluent with plot. Lucasfilm's ambitious ideas have required good faith suspension of disbelief now and again. Certainly, George Lucas wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel with his amalgamation of classic adventure serials, Japanese samurai films, and Westerns. However, everything in the Original Trilogy from the window dressing to the emotional bonds coalesced into a captivating whole.
Hunting down a villain is Ahsoka's narrative backbone. It's not often a MacGuffin is a person, but that's what Ahsoka has made the regal Grand Admiral Thrawn : an "object, event, or character in a film or story that serves to set and keep the plot in motion despite usually lacking intrinsic importance." Hopefully, Thawn demonstrates three-dimensional traits once he arrives, but Ahsoka has both oversimplified a menacing situation and bogged itself down.
Speaking of dialogue: Ahsoka even repeats the modern Star Wars trend of oddly stilted, weak scripts. Rise of Skywalker, as we know, birthed the worst line in Star Wars history: "Somehow, Palpatine returned." Those three words aren't just a hand wave, they're an indication the writers weren't interested in explaining.
