Like Palpatine, Elia specializes in seducing people to fight. Stoking their emotions and ego, sending them to a path of destruction. She’s operating at the highest level of manipulation, even using his own nostalgia against him.

Her “human” moments seem sinister a second time around. It reminded me of The Departed, the way the character fully commits to a friendly character. I thought the way she played Pershing showed that Elia Kane is one of the most dangerous elements in the Imperial Remnant. She’s the Poe Dameron of Gideon’s team. And she’s running around loose in a broken bureaucracy, much smarter than all the Orwellian cogs in the New Republic government.

She hits harder than Phasma or any of these compulsive ISB dorks from Andor that people seem to connect with.

Hera’s accent

Discussion

One cool added touch from Rebels I liked is Hera suddenly switches to her Twi’lek accent when talking to her dad. This is definitely something that happens for example when people go home and talk with their immigrant parents or even just pick back up the local twang you grew up around. This could also just be the way the show indicated they started speaking Twileki but we know from many shows and movies that the Twi’lek speak with an accent while speaking the common tongue. Just a random thought when watching it but was a super nice touch.
