I must be in the minority because I found the episode to just be poor. First, Kanan's death reminds me a lot like Rogue One, in that it's drawn out and just happens with complete acceptance. You know Kana is going to die in the episode from his first scene, then every other scene with him is just clearly communicating to you that he's going to die, they just can't not drag it out. He even manages to get Hera a present before he dies, a present that will specifically help her come to terms with his death. Like, come on. How about a death we weren't expecting, some surprise? How about Kanan not marching towards his death in a solemn manner with complete acceptance?
After his death the characters all separate to basically do a bunch of nothing, oh the show makes it looks like they are using this time for character moments as each have to come to terms with Kanan's death, but that doesn't really happen. Sabine and Dumdumb go off to blow some stuff up and later capture the bounty hunter. But then they decide not to kill him for no real reason. They just decide to be good, there is no real debate or lead up to this moment. They just nod, smile, and agree. And thus, they send the bounty hunter back with a new makeup job, all good laughs. I mean, it's not like our best friend and leader was just brutally killed. Ezra continues to be a waste of space and spends the episode being chased by Force Wolves spouting cryptic message nonsense. Eventually he learns that the Jedi Temple is in danger, big whoopty do. Let's just forget him having to deal with his Master has just died leaving him alone without a mentor. And, of course, Hera spends the whole episode sitting in a cave talking to herself. It's somewhat better than the rest of the crew, but then she's "over" Kanan by the end of the episode.
The show is just pure kiddy kid through and through. It doesn't actually want to spend time developing any of these characters or have them actually deal with the consequences of actions. Everything has to return to smiles and jokes by the end of every episode.
