Additional thought - Jod vs Ezra.

So we hear Jod's backstory (or at least what's he's telling us - he's an incredibly unreliable narrator, I guess).

And it seems interesting how similar his and Ezra's story's sound, except one broke bad, and the other hdidn't.

Both urchins, surviving on guile.

Both meeting a runaway Jedi.

Both force sensitive and getting some training.

Both making up all kinds of different names for themselves. :D

Except Jod was unlucky and his Jedi "guardian" was killed in front of his eyes, while in Ezra's case ... erm ... ok, one more thing they have in common.

However, Ezra had a whole newfound family as support while Jod, I assume didn't, and he took the wrong lessons.

Or maybe I over-analyze, but I think it's fascinating to see how on the surface they had very similar paths, up to a certain point, and then went down very different paths.

Btw, something I didn't see commented on - in Ep. 3 Jod activates an old battle droid whose first line is "Did we win?" The same thing KB says when she wakes up at the end of Ep. 8. Felt a bit ... disturbing to have this callback to a line a droid asked, considering she's apparently quite augmented herself.
