    I almost didn’t recognize C-3PO without his red arm. I wish Ray was still alive because I want to know how Baylan’s story ends and I don’t think it’ll be wrapped next episode.

          Shin disappoints him because she desires power and he tried to teach her different.

          Telling her to go with Thrawn will result in her getting the power she wants. Or she learns better and returns.

            Part of me thinks that Baylan Skoll still harbors a lot of sentiment towards the force and its influence. You can see it in the way that he never seems to try and control the ways events unfold. He still (for the most part) seems content to allow events to play out as they will, or as the Force directs.

            He claims that he no longer abides by the Jedi teachings, and claims that he no longer has any faith, but I’ve grown up religious, and even though I no longer believe or practice, it’s still difficult to completely extricate that sort of influence from my decision-making.

            I imagine that it’d be more difficult to separate for Baylan Skoll, for whom the existence of the Force is irrefutable, even if he professes to no longer believe in it, as he continues to wield it.

          He’s taught her all she thinks she needs to know. She didn’t seem too interested in whatever Baylan’s searching for, and really just wanted concrete power she could just about reach. Baylan wants something else and would’ve been happy to have Shin by his side to face it. But he wanted to give her a choice to choose her own destiny.
