Definitely an improvement over the last episode in regards to tone, this was mostly focused on a private operation led by Saw Gerrera. I felt like some of those old infiltration flicks that I've always enjoyed, and I think that the characters were greatly suited for an operation like this. I do think that the rescue aspect of the film, as well as where that subplot ended up was a bit weird and unnecessary, however it did give Chopper some great moments of heroism that he didn't have in the first part. Again, Saw is someone who stays true to the character that we know from both of his appearances outside of "Rebels," and his actions seems like they were motivated by a love for the rebellion and deep hatred and loathing for the Empire, so that's good. The action sequences were very creative, and especially the scene with the smoke grenades was creative and the way the animation has developed from the first season is truly remarkable. This was a great episode and it does offer a great deal of insight into what's coming, as well as teasing that the end might be near.
