Diana Lee Inosanto is more than a stunt woman. Her dad, Dan Inosanto, was Bruce Lee's teacher. Bruce Lee was also her godfather. She's a martial arts master herself
This. It was confirmed in some guidebook that the temple on Exegol was on top of a doorway to the World Between Worlds. The voices are those of the past, not necessarily the dead.
Did Dave Filoni say that she's not dead? I heard him say just because you hear her voice it doesn't mean she's dead. Where/when did he confirm she's not dead?
@@Qui-Jon_Ginn I remember him making this drawing of Gandalf talking to Ahsoka saying something like, "everyone thinks you're dead too" but I don't remember where. A google search or two might lead you down the right path.
A few things: One, the symbol on the side of the assassin droids' heads is the symbol of Thrawn's fleet gifted to him by Palpatine. And two, correct me if I'm wrong but I remember either Abrams of Filoni saying that Ahsoka isn't necessarily dead by the time of TROS. I think they said it is up in the air, but that Ahsoka could have communed to Rey through the force (sort of like how she talked to Grogu in this episode)
@@bluevelvet9885 I came to say this, there's 30 years between ROTJ and TFA, she could have died like three years before TFA and still have a show with ten seasons that's before that and has a happy ending
@@marjoriecohn3868 Yeah, I know it's far-fetched, and it would indeed be a coincidence - but Grogu did try to get it off the ship, and was gesturing towards it in a somewhat meaningful manner, so there's that. I'm probably reading too much into it, but it would be a nice twist.
Anyone else notice that Michael Biehn’s character was using a blaster that fired in bursts and had a pump like that of a shotgun? He must like to keep it handy for close encounters...
I loved the little shot at the Disney trilogy when Ahsoka talked about all jedi needing extensive training before theyre able to use the force properly. Meanwhile Rey is at the level of a jedi master a single day after learning that the force was even real. Thats making me think even more that the Mandalorian and the almost certain future spin off shows are just going to act like the Disney movies never even happened
@@amin_taheri What reference are you talking about? The Mandalorian takes place 5 years after Return of the Jedi, meaning none of the new sequel films have even taken place...
When Michael Biehn duels at the end, he starts with something like "My quarrel is not with you, Mandolorian." which is exactly like what he says in the Huckleberry scene in Tombestone before he duels Doc Holiday.
This was the best Mandolorian episode of the series and the series is now officially better than the last trilogy of Star Wars films. I wish we could go back in time and allow Jon Favreau and his team to create and direct the latest trilogy. We can only imagine how well that woulda went instead of the half-assed attempt we got.
Same here. Ahsoka was announced. I was happy to see her but she was expected. But Thrawne was not, same with Bo Katan. I yelped when I saw her two weeks ago and did the same when I heard Thrawne's name. They make it so goddamn rewarding to be a fan and know those names and details. I love it
I hope Luke isn't in it. It's better to keep the shows loosely connected to the Skywalker saga, but not too much. Ezra or Cal would be much better fits
@@jamesw9873 Cal wouldn't be a good choice, we don't know if he's dead or alive at this point of time. They're making a sequel to Fallen Order, if they reveal him here, then we know that he survives and there won't be any concerns about him in the second game. Ezra is great on the other hand. I'm not sure about it but Yaddile (spelling?) might be alive and she could be the teacher. Who knows? Lmao
The possibilities that this episode set up alone is crazy. A potential Ahsoka spin off, who the Jedi Grogu ends up contacting will be, THRAWN, maybe a Luke tie in??? Plus we’ll end up seeing how Bo Katan and the dark saber come into play again. The way the show has been written has given incredible opportunity to the creatives that’ll handle the future Star Wars stories. Wild
Don't forget Boba Fett and his return as another narrative line. Personally I think Cal Kestis is the best fit for whom Gorgu contacts. That allows much more creative freedom for them to create something epic than they'd have with Luke or Ezra
@@jamesw9873 if cal kestis ends up in the show ill scream. He’s one of my favorite star wars characters and i live fallen order. Ill be jumping up and down I’m so excited and hoping it’ll be him
One homage/EE that nobody seems to have caught: Michael Biehn’s Lang was armed with what I believe is the first canon appearance of a shotgun-style blaster, which definitely harkens back to his roles as Reese and Hicks. “... for close encounters.”
I noticed that, I thought it was awesome! And it was great to see MB getting some good work, he's a really criminally under appreciated action star of the 80s!! I was kinda hoping his character, Lang, would live so we could see him in other episodes.
Either filoni or favoro needs to be the head of star wars. This episode alone has so much lore (grant clone wars/ rebels lore) but they just know what they're doing
Definitely favoro. Not Filoni. I like Filoni. But he needs to be the idea guy. He can't be the guy that signs off on stuff or it will get really weird.
Another: The structure that is above the bell at the gate is now a famous Star wars design piece It was first created for Episode 6, but wasn't used It was then reused in the clone wars It was then reused as the gate for Jakku And now we see it once again here
Mando: "Grogu" Grogu: "Ahhh Du" I loved that moment Also hope to see Grand Admiral Thrawn, really enjoyed his character in Star Wars Rebels I hope Grogu reaches out to Kanan and then Ezra hears them and seeʻs where Grogu is
I always quote this as "BahTU" and wondered if it was DIsney trying to subtley plug Star Wars land (as Baatu is the name of the planet where Star Wars land exists).
Agreed! Luke seems too obvious and it seems like the show is going in the direction of Star Wars Rebels with the introduction of Thrawn, Bo Kayan, and Asoka. Picking up where it left off, but still staying true to the Mandalorian. Hopefully they don’t go too off the rails. I’d like to see more character development of Mando.
This was the best episode of the mandalorian, not just for Ahsoka in live action, but all the Easter eggs from the films, video games & animated series
You forgot to mention the theme song that plays on Ahsoka's last appearance of the episode, it's a remade version of her theme that plays in Clone Wars and Rebels. My heart felt beautiful hearing that.
Man it’s so awesome to finally see Ahoska Tano in live-action :), I was 11 years old when I first saw her in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” in theaters back in 2008. It’s a dream come true
1:40 Just one thing to point out: while in English "the Jedi" can refer to make and female, singular and plural, in other languages it can't. In Portuguese, for example, the translated title is "A Jedi", which means the female Jedi (in the singular), referencing only Ahsoka. I don't know about other languages though.
"Grogu" is possibly the name, "George Lucas" altered through the Lucasfilm Star Wars name generator. Star Wars productions have a history of paying homage to some people by naming certain characters with altered creative spellings of their names.
You show what I, and perhaps many others, don’t take in when watching films etc. So many twists and turns with one character that I would of never have known....I’m certainly rewatching all the films and shows just so I can fully understand the story...it’s a much much bigger universe than I first thought and may be done to space travel is why I’ve taken much for granted....thanks mate.
It‘s one of the rare flaws of the Mandalorian, its structure looks more like a video game than a old feuilleton ou a serie, the movement is not organic enough and yet still too linear.
@@alvinoveritas2033 that’s because it uses digital backgrounds through the unreal engine (same one used to make thousands of games, i.e. world of Warcraft) it is flawed as it’s still new tech but it’s advantageous too with lightening and stuff, TH-cam it there’s some cool behind the scenes content
Mace windu defenitly survived the fall, and took baby yoda from the Jedi temple. Then yoda will connect with mace through the force. It makes so much sense because it sets up a perfect mace death to boba fett who is taking revenge for his father
She’s likely alive. Filoni wasn’t involved in the Rise of Skywalker. So they likely went over his head with the decision to have her voice there. Though she’d also be 71 by the time of rise of sky walker. So if she is dead. I don’t really have a complaint. She likely lived a full life.
@@awesomechainsaw who knows what’s possible through the World Between Worlds, and Togruta may age differently to humans so 71 may not be terribly old for her
I think Gorgu should contact Max Windex or Eczema Bridges if he doesn't reach out to Lurk Skunkfunker. Otherwise he's destined to become the next Analrapist Skunkfunker... also known as Dunk Vadersmooch.
Were those meant to be folds like her species version of wrinkles? I saw them more as scars she accumulated over the decades of fighting and being on the run.
@@1471dw Yeah, I've just rewatched RotJ and even the prosthetics in Jabba's Palace better in comparison. I'm still loving the episode and season 2 is pretty epic so far....
If you look at the new magistrate’s cloak buckle, you can see that it looks awfully similar to Count Dooku’s; just though that was a cool little Easter egg
You Missed An Easter Egg, When Ahsoka And Mando Are Talking, Mando Calls Ahsoka’s Lightsabers “Laser-Swords” Which Is What George Lucas Originally Called Lightsabers Before Calling Them Lightsabers, “Laser-Swords”
A fun bit I noticed was that in the Mandalorian episode The Jedi, Morgan says she got her Beskar staff from her 'Master', assumedly Thrawn. In Rebels, we see Thrawn sparring w/ 2 of those super Dark Troopers using what looks like a metal staff. I like to think that's the Beskar staff he gifted to Morgan which then went to Ahsoka, then Din Djarin, etc.
Michael Biehn's character here is weiding a shotgun, just like his character does in "The Terminator" (where he hid from HKs instead of employed them).
Bruh he would be more likely to not know it if it was out for only 13 hours because we have only heard it a few times and I know that I could hardly hear it.
i would love to see luke appear but i could also see the jedi appearing to be Cal Kestis because Cals journey through all of Fallen Order was to get the holocron with the force sensitive childrens names and rebuild the order but at the end of the game he has a change of heart and thinks it should be up to the force sensitive children to choose whether or not they want to be a Jedi. Thats exactly what Mando and Grogu are going to do at the top of the mountain so perhaps if Grogu chooses to go down the path of the jedi Cal will appear to collect him.
Tython was covered quite a bit in the novel "Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void" which takes place about 25,000 years BBY. It deals with the Je'daii who used both the dark and light side of the force and later split into Jedi and Dark Jedi. The moons were Ashla and Bogan which symbolized the light and dark respectively. Those terms were also used by the Bendu in "SW Rebels" in talking about the force.
I thought the “take baby yoga to a force mountain and see if a Jedi comes” was a clear opening in to the obi-wan live action story... I agree, likely also an Asoka spin off... turns out Mandalorian is like Iron-man 1, the start of a screen universe..... all linking together for occasional cross over mega arc’s....there is a reason they gave it to John Faveau.... 👍 (edit, thanks for all those pointing out he’s dead... you’re right of course..I was thinking as a force ghost, given they have Euan Mcgreggor robed up in front of the cameras at the moment anyway..?)
If the fanbase was mad over the last jedi already, I cant imagine the rage people would feel if Kylo killed Grogu. Grogu is by far the most marketable and loved star wars character in years (even my 90 year old grandma knows who baby yoda is) so I really doubt they'd kill him off
2 things: -When Din enters the city the first droid favors a T-800 which is cool since Michael Biehn is in the ep also -The scence where Ahsoka attacks Din is certainly an homage to when Luke is attacked by Tusken raider in ANH. Hero in wilderness looking for a Jedi, sees huge animal in distace through scope, determenes danger isn't immediate then gets attacked.
The HK-87 assassin droids are the same droid types from Legends including various comics and KOTOR. The droids also have a logo on their headpiece which resembles the Seventh Fleet which is the fleet under the control of Thrawn, tying in the Magistrate’s link to Thrawn
@@Holidaypunch1 I can't remember any HK droids from KOTOR other than HK47, but there were some other types of them in KOTOR2 and TOR. I might be misremembering tho.
This was cool and very informative. One thing though... Loathcats are the native tooka species of Loathal, so while they are similar, the one in this episode is probably a tooka species native to this planet or a stray tooka brought from somewhere else and not necessarily from Lothal.
its definitely going to be old man Windu that hears his call and comes to teach the child. BOTH the CHILD and WINDU use the Dark side When fighting. there is no better master than windu to teach the child about fear and anger.. to control these emotions. MAN A MANDOLORIAN JEDI YODA FIGHTING IN VAAPAD?!?! CRAZY to imagine
In Legends, Yaddle disappeared because she died preventing a terrorist attack on Coruscant, which had a grave effect on young Anakin. Shaak Ti then replaced Yaddle on the Council afterwards.

Picking up where it left off, but still staying true to the Mandalorian. Hopefully they don’t go too off the rails. I’d like to see more character development of Mando.
This entire episode was a Princess Monoke reference, which is pretty blatant because Filoni designed Ahsoka and the Loth Wolfs after them.
Thought i had been the only one to note the resemblance to Princess Mononoke!
@@ccoday LOL... (Greetings from Kobe)
@@michaelmoraga2926 I bet Grogu would love himself some Akashiyaki :)
Weeb
@@kimchi_b Indeed!
Now I'm going to have to go out get some. 👍🏼
This was the best episode of the mandalorian, not just for Ahsoka in live action, but all the Easter eggs from the films, video games & animated series
The way Grogu reacted when he was called by his name 😭🖤
You forgot to mention the theme song that plays on Ahsoka's last appearance of the episode, it's a remade version of her theme that plays in Clone Wars and Rebels. My heart felt beautiful hearing that.
If Luke takes baby Yoda at the end only for him to survive another temple destruction, im just.... im gonna cry
1:02 reference to Kurosawa
this episode was all Kurosawa
always has been
Kurosawa and a lot of Sergio Leone
Loved the Parks and Rec reference.
Cones of Dunshire😂
Man it’s so awesome to finally see Ahoska Tano in live-action :), I was 11 years old when I first saw her in “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” in theaters back in 2008.
It’s a dream come true
1:40 Just one thing to point out: while in English "the Jedi" can refer to make and female, singular and plural, in other languages it can't. In Portuguese, for example, the translated title is "A Jedi", which means the female Jedi (in the singular), referencing only Ahsoka. I don't know about other languages though.
The spear is definitely a reference to the Red Viper of Dorne aka Prince Oberyn
Maybe
Hopefully Boba Fett doesn’t pop his top and gouge his eyes out
Beskar Viper has entered the chat
luckily, Moff Gideon is not build like the Mountain, and Pedro Pascal has a helmet this time
"Grogu" is possibly the name, "George Lucas" altered through the Lucasfilm Star Wars name generator. Star Wars productions have a history of paying homage to some people by naming certain characters with altered creative spellings of their names.
It reminded me of "Goku." And they both eat alot 😬
Or it could be a nod to Daigoro, from Lone Wolf and Cub.
no one notices that the gear nob is actually a nod to one of Lucas early movies, American Graffiti.
it also kinda looks like a death star but thats just me. 2 halves with a horizontal trench line
God its just a knob. Keep it in your pants already
@@adityasharma6579 Hehehe, you did a knob joke... I'm such a child.
You show what I, and perhaps many others, don’t take in when watching films etc. So many twists and turns with one character that I would of never have known....I’m certainly rewatching all the films and shows just so I can fully understand the story...it’s a much much bigger universe than I first thought and may be done to space travel is why I’ve taken much for granted....thanks mate.
When she mentions the seeing stone and says “there aren’t many Jedi left,” Luke’s theme plays.
Oh woah...
The mandalorian would probably be a great video game
It definitely seems to have enough side-quests for it
@@MathiasBjrnskov yes, it has plenty of lore and immersion to allow a lengthy in depth experience to take you into the galaxy.
It‘s one of the rare flaws of the Mandalorian, its structure looks more like a video game than a old feuilleton ou a serie, the movement is not organic enough and yet still too linear.
@@alvinoveritas2033 that’s because it uses digital backgrounds through the unreal engine (same one used to make thousands of games, i.e. world of Warcraft) it is flawed as it’s still new tech but it’s advantageous too with lightening and stuff, TH-cam it there’s some cool behind the scenes content
I also liked the scene between michael bein's gunslinger n the mando. Most specifically the words he said to mando. A direct callback to "Tombstone".
Are you really hearing “Gorgu”? Bruh, it’s *Grogu 🙄
.
Bruh I don’t blame him I thought that it was krogu the whole episode lmaooo
@@samburns8407 that’s closer than “gore • goo” 🤣
@@samburns8407 lmaoo
Mistakes happen, fellas
Loth-cat appeared twice in the episode.... check out the 31minute 45ish second mark for the best shot. Must be a reason he's there.
Mace windu defenitly survived the fall, and took baby yoda from the Jedi temple. Then yoda will connect with mace through the force. It makes so much sense because it sets up a perfect mace death to boba fett who is taking revenge for his father
HK-series droids date back to the Old Republic, as does the planet Tython as an ancient home of the Jedi.
Tython was mentioned in the Bane novel only I belive, we first saw it in SWTOR MMO as the Jedi starting zone (not canon I know)
@@mrmeanjeans5929 not canon YET. 😜
MEAT BAG
I'm glad I caught that HK-47 reference
Hey Ryan, when day ask Dave Filoni about a Ahsoka being dead he said that she was not even though we heard her voice ..she was alive
That's not been confirmed, they just said that there was a possibility of her being alive, that's it
She’s likely alive. Filoni wasn’t involved in the Rise of Skywalker. So they likely went over his head with the decision to have her voice there.
Though she’d also be 71 by the time of rise of sky walker. So if she is dead. I don’t really have a complaint. She likely lived a full life.
@@awesomechainsaw who knows what’s possible through the World Between Worlds, and Togruta may age differently to humans so 71 may not be terribly old for her
@@awesomechainsaw 71 would be young, force sensitive Togrutas live up to 200 years.
I knew the guy looked very familiar. The dude is Kyle Reese himself!
Thank you for discovering the hot water...
brilliant video! ive been watching emergency awesome all this time and always underwhelmed. your the guy
Kudos to Jon and Dave for saving Star Wars!
To everyone that has watched the latest episode, has anyone seen a loth-cat in the village? I thought I saw one.
Yup, it was there.
Technically a tooka and not necessarily specificly from Loathal. It would be like a specific species of cat... it could be, but not necessarily.
What Jedi should Grogu contact?
Mace windu
Ezra
EZRA 100%
i think you misspronunced his name as "Gorgu" many times this whole video
I think Gorgu should contact Max Windex or Eczema Bridges if he doesn't reach out to Lurk Skunkfunker. Otherwise he's destined to become the next Analrapist Skunkfunker... also known as Dunk Vadersmooch.
I'm extremely impressed at the speed you find these comparison film clips.
Was anyone else put off by the folds in Ahsoka's prosthetics?
Were those meant to be folds like her species version of wrinkles? I saw them more as scars she accumulated over the decades of fighting and being on the run.
@@thedoctor4327 I thought they were scars to start with but after a second viewing they're folds in the rubber. Scars would've been awesome.
This, and also I felt a bit put off because of how short they were compared to Rebels, or even the end of Clone Wars.
@@1471dw Yeah, I've just rewatched RotJ and even the prosthetics in Jabba's Palace better in comparison. I'm still loving the episode and season 2 is pretty epic so far....
They were a little distracting but I’m okay with seeing them as age wrinkles or some such. Ahsoka’s look is tricky to translate to live action.
If you look at the new magistrate’s cloak buckle, you can see that it looks awfully similar to Count Dooku’s; just though that was a cool little Easter egg
The reason I’m so hyped for each new episode is because of this, keep up the great work my guys
Now everyone is going to name their cat’s Gro-gu.
You Missed An Easter Egg, When Ahsoka And Mando Are Talking, Mando Calls Ahsoka’s Lightsabers “Laser-Swords” Which Is What
George Lucas Originally Called Lightsabers Before Calling Them Lightsabers, “Laser-Swords”
Luke calls them that too in Last Jedi.
@@mzaite I belive the term is used in The Phantom Menace, too, either by or to Qui Gon.
The bescar spear will fit well to our beloved Oberyn 🤗
He wears the helmet so no one can crush his skull. That’s a 200iq move
Unbowed, unbent, unbroken.
A fun bit I noticed was that in the Mandalorian episode The Jedi, Morgan says she got her Beskar staff from her 'Master', assumedly Thrawn. In Rebels, we see Thrawn sparring w/ 2 of those super Dark Troopers using what looks like a metal staff. I like to think that's the Beskar staff he gifted to Morgan which then went to Ahsoka, then Din Djarin, etc.
Michael Biehn's character here is weiding a shotgun, just like his character does in "The Terminator" (where he hid from HKs instead of employed them).
I was thinking Aliens, where he pulls out the shotgun that he "likes to keep handy for close encounters"
@@mydrynn I thought the same.
He’s only been named for 13hrs and you’re already messing it up lol
😂
Yeah, that's why, we only herd his name twice
Ryan probably started working on this at 4am in the morning. While it was hard to listen to during the vid, I’m cutting him some slack
Bruh he would be more likely to not know it if it was out for only 13 hours because we have only heard it a few times and I know that I could hardly hear it.
i would love to see luke appear but i could also see the jedi appearing to be Cal Kestis because Cals journey through all of Fallen Order was to get the holocron with the force sensitive childrens names and rebuild the order but at the end of the game he has a change of heart and thinks it should be up to the force sensitive children to choose whether or not they want to be a Jedi. Thats exactly what Mando and Grogu are going to do at the top of the mountain so perhaps if Grogu chooses to go down the path of the jedi Cal will appear to collect him.
They should just use Cameron Monaghan the guy who plays Cal in the game. Peoples brains would explode.
Maybe Ezra if Thrawn made it I think he did too.
When Ahsoka sends the stone to baby Yoda, it resembles when Anakin sends a grape to Padme when thery are having dinner
Baby Yodes looked so sad, poor guy.
Tython was covered quite a bit in the novel "Dawn of the Jedi: Into the Void" which takes place about 25,000 years BBY. It deals with the Je'daii who used both the dark and light side of the force and later split into Jedi and Dark Jedi. The moons were Ashla and Bogan which symbolized the light and dark respectively. Those terms were also used by the Bendu in "SW Rebels" in talking about the force.
Grogu, not Gore-goo. Repeat after me: “Grow-goo.”
*Looks up*
Idk why but the little knob Grogu steals vaguely reminds me of the deathstar
I thought the “take baby yoga to a force mountain and see if a Jedi comes” was a clear opening in to the obi-wan live action story... I agree, likely also an Asoka spin off... turns out Mandalorian is like
Iron-man 1, the start of a screen universe..... all linking together for occasional cross over mega arc’s....there is a reason they gave it to John Faveau.... 👍 (edit, thanks for all those pointing out he’s dead... you’re right of course..I was thinking as a force ghost, given they have Euan Mcgreggor robed up in front of the cameras at the moment anyway..?)
It can’t be a connection to Obi-One unless he contacts his Force ghost since he’s been dead for a while at this point.
Yeah this is after Obi Wan's death and the whole OG trilogy
well, both of those sagas has Samuel J Jackson too- so there's that :)
Obi-wan is dead by at least 11 yrs at this point I'm time. Cal Kestis, Luke and maybe even Kyle Katarn are around at this time however.
If Luke trains Grogu, does that man Kylo Ren kills Baby Yoda?
If the fanbase was mad over the last jedi already, I cant imagine the rage people would feel if Kylo killed Grogu. Grogu is by far the most marketable and loved star wars character in years (even my 90 year old grandma knows who baby yoda is) so I really doubt they'd kill him off
The thought has crossed my mind. One more reason people would hate TLJ if true
Watching this again, I realized how amazing and BEAUTIFUL the score is!! **
2 things:
-When Din enters the city the first droid favors a T-800 which is cool since Michael Biehn is in the ep also
-The scence where Ahsoka attacks Din is certainly an homage to when Luke is attacked by Tusken raider in ANH. Hero in wilderness looking for a Jedi, sees huge animal in distace through scope, determenes danger isn't immediate then gets attacked.
2:42 "Baby Yoda", "Grogu" or just known as "looks like Anakin missed one" 😂
You kept calling him “gorgu” and it hurt. But that isn’t something to hate the video for. Great video!
The HK-87 assassin droids are the same droid types from Legends including various comics and KOTOR. The droids also have a logo on their headpiece which resembles the Seventh Fleet which is the fleet under the control of Thrawn, tying in the Magistrate’s link to Thrawn
They're not the same tho, KOTOR's was HK47, these ones seem to be next gen of them
@@amin_taheri Not all of the HK droids were 47, there multiple different types of HK during KOTOR
@@Holidaypunch1 I can't remember any HK droids from KOTOR other than HK47, but there were some other types of them in KOTOR2 and TOR. I might be misremembering tho.
@@amin_taheri Oh, in KOTOR 1 there was only HK47 then, but in KOTOR 2 there was different types of HK models
@@Holidaypunch1 yep that's what I meant. By KOTOR I meant the first one.
Just wanted to say I love your Channel/Show. You do an amazing job !!! Keep up the great work 👍 - “This is the Way” ❤️
This was cool and very informative.
One thing though... Loathcats are the native tooka species of Loathal, so while they are similar, the one in this episode is probably a tooka species native to this planet or a stray tooka brought from somewhere else and not necessarily from Lothal.
OH MY GOD IF WE GET LIVE ACTION THRAWN AND EZRA IN SERIES 3 IM GONNA BE SO HYPED
It’s gonna be Mace. He grabbed Grogu on his way off of Coruscant
And he still alive and mace will come, but boba fett is still not happy about cutting his head off. He will arrive in New shiny armour to kill mace
@@harrisonklette yo you are so right, boba and mace have a maul and obiwan dynamic almost
Grogu
This would be the best possible thing to happen. I really hope they do this even though it’s a stretch
Grogu
its definitely going to be old man Windu that hears his call and comes to teach the child. BOTH the CHILD and WINDU use the Dark side When fighting. there is no better master than windu to teach the child about fear and anger.. to control these emotions. MAN A MANDOLORIAN JEDI YODA FIGHTING IN VAAPAD?!?! CRAZY to imagine
Ohh man the amount of money I'd pay to see a half-effed up old mace windu....
At the beginning of the show, when Ahsoka runs behind the tree and uses the force looks exactly like when Asajj takes on Anakin in Tartkovsky series.
I saw Tombstone; Doc vs Johnny in that final duel. Mando’s pistol spin was Doc after shooting Johnny.
I just noticed that Ahsoka’s eyes are the correct color
@Greg S. RIGHT! I was even happier when I saw they got the scar on her forehead right
So we agree it would make sense to Have Benedict Cumberbach Play Thrawn yes?
Matt smith would be better
You have a point there.
Lars Mikkelsen
would be just fine
"We knew Dinn was warming to him, when he gave him the knob." Didn't think that line through did ya?
😬😬😬😬
💀💀
In Legends, Yaddle disappeared because she died preventing a terrorist attack on Coruscant, which had a grave effect on young Anakin. Shaak Ti then replaced Yaddle on the Council afterwards.
At the start of the episode, when Ahsoka is addressing the village, you can hear a snippet of her theme playing in the background.
