Join us for our review and analysis of Ahsoka, part 6, "Far, Far Away." We take on whether there was a valid contract with Sabine and Baylon, if Thrawn was a third-party beneficiary who assumed the contractual obligations of Baylon, and if the Night Troopers had a legal duty to continue to serve the Empire.
