3.5✨ a little slow for the first part but picked up in the second half. Nice twists.

Though I did enjoy the back & forth between the past experience on Batu with Anakin and the present struggle with Vader, you could summarize half of the dialogue between them as constant suspicion. Thrawn makes some interesting moves that support 2 different fronts, and Vader is not having it. His understanding is starkly black and white when it comes to playing for the Empire. Thrawn clearly sees things as more complex than that and finds that he can do good for more than just the Empire. By the end they're in an almost buddy cop situation. We'll see where Thrawn Treason takes us next....

The character voices and effects are once again fantastic. My only gripe is with the Anakin voice being a bit too Attack of the Clones LOL he can be super whiney.
