@@ked49I was just about to comment because this is exactly what happened! I was eating and so I only had one eye on the screen, and suddenly Ashoka was glowly! I had to back up a few seconds to rewatch!
When I watched his technique I loved it. Very broad shoulders, blade brought up to his shoulder. Very medieval knight which fits him perfectly because of his size.
Yeah. Same with Huyang suggesting they stick together. You knew that meant they would split up and that was a big factor in Ahsoka losing the duel with Baylan.
Ok, I legit teared up hearing Hayden call Ahsoka Snips. It's a continuity thing that I love and having the live action and the cartoons feeling more connected than ever.
It just feels cheap to me, especially since it was barely audible. I wish I could have your child-like wonderment, but alas, I am devoid of emotion and life
Having watched Clone Wars and Rebels, seeing Hayden Christensen’s Anakin and Rosario Dawson’s Ahsoka reuniting in live-action is a wholesome payoff years in the making. Thank you, Filoni 🙏😭🙏
To me, Huyang asking Sabine and Ashoka to stay together was so poignant given that they end up being split apart and it leads to the bad stuff happening.
My family and I enjoyed Ahsoka. This episode is one of the best Star Wars we have seen. Seeing Hayden made me and my daughter jumped with excitement. We are happy that Filoni is making magic with Star Wars.
Ray Stevenson is absolutely owning this role and it's such a disappointment we won't be getting more of his character in the future. One of my favorite aspects to his saber form is that he is so efficient with blaster deflection - he seems to have an unnatural vision of where the blaster shots will go and he moves there with the smallest and most precise moves possible. They do so much character development just in the way he moves.
When Balín destroys the key with his lightsaber it took a couple of seconds. That tells me the Sabin’a threat to shoot it would not have done hardly anything to it. This series is soooo good
It was a weird effect... The moment he ignited the saber it went clean through, which would suggest the center of it disintigrated instantly, leaving only the metal shell.
Nitpick: it wasn't that Ezra couldn't change history by saving Kanan, quite the opposite, Ahsoka points out that if he removes Kanan from that moment, Ezra, Sabine and Hera (and Jacen) will all die.
But they would die in that explosion scene, meaning ezra couldn't then enter the world between worlds to save him, which would be a paradox. It literally couldn't be done.
I like the idea of the world between worlds being the place where jedi go when they die it would make sense how they know when / where to appear to living jedi to offer advice or assistance.
He was already dead. He’s being revived by night sister magic like Mauls brother and probably will continue to be until we see who he was when he was alive which is probably important.
Something I noticed is when Ahsoka fought Morrok, she waited for him to make the first move. And he was inpatient so he went for it. But with Baylan, his patience won and she fought first. I still don’t think Baylan is a sith. He doesn’t have raw anger like others we’ve seen. He’s very calm and collected and he hasn’t used overt dark side powers like Shin does. She’s quick to anger but he’s more collected. I feel like he’s closer to being a dark jedi and she’s closer to being a sith. Thoughts?
dark jedi is just a general term for a dark side force user... sith is a specific dark side group. neither of them are sith since they have no link to the group (unless revealed later on which is possible but very unlikely), both are dark jedi.
*I rewatched episode 4. And Baylan's quote, "One must destroy in order to create" speaks volumes in a huge way. Such great dialog between Ahsoka & Baylan here. I truly can't wait for episode 5 next Tuesday.*
@@ked49it's awesome to think about him doing his thing with the mean govt trying to adopt as many kids as possible to rebuild what the Jedi stood for but with his ideals so they're considered Sith but they aren't as bad as the old regime. Please let the evil daddy empower misfits he's so wholesome
I have so much respect for you Eric! I’ve been studying music theory for all of my life and I have always loved your ability to include the music and tonality changes going on throughout each and every breakdown you’ve ever done. i.e the Matrix recap, interstellar recap, and so on. Keep up the amazing work!!
15:33 if you look closely, you can also see that his arms shrink as the mist escapes, similar to how Savage lost his buffy look after being killed by Sidios
15:16 if you didn’t know, Maul’s brother Savage Opress in the clone wars bled green smoke like this when he lost one of his limbs, given that he was buffed and turned by the night sisters.
Seeing Baylon close his eyes & take those deep breaths before letting Ahsoka know about Anakin, & before he told Sabine about Ezra, leads me to believe he used the force to read their minds somehow. Nothing has indicated how he would know that sensitive info about the both of them.
I noticed that too. Ironically you can find that stance in most cultures that didn't even meet. Japan and China did, but not often. And that stance was well used by the Medieval period, especially during the Crusades by both the Christians and the Muslim armies. Some things are just universal.
I like how Marrok is someone who died but is reanimated by Night sister magic like Mauls brother. He may have been cut down but I don’t think that’s the last we have seen of him.
I think another reference to the Mortis Arc from Clone Wars might've been when Huyang tells Ahsoka and Sabine to stay together, it reminded me of when Obi-Wan said something along the lines of "As long as we stay together, we'll be alright"
The over the head stance Asoka takes is Jodan in Kendo. Throughout this episode we see Chudan, Jodan, Hassō, and waki-gamae. As someone that practices Kendo, it was cool to see.
Well no shit it's the same, I mean most Jedi learn the same Saber fighting styles lmfao Its just a matter of how much they really wanna learn to become powerful Sith or Jedi
@@DatBoiChris420 that’s not true at all. some learn many style sure. But almost only focus on a form that they are good at. Or maybe a couple depending on the situation.. like in Rebels when Kenobi starts his fight with maul in His mastered form but switched to qui gon’s to best maul. the switching of the forms in Star Wars is very symbolic.
That transition was looking a bit like Thanos/Hawkeye waking up in the water after acquiring the Soul Stone. Just a cool visual detail. It's definitely made to look like something is up with Anakin in this episode, obviously it's not actually him either way but I think him being the brother is what its going to be. Excited to see.
8:00 I feel like Chopper is actually saying "Yeah, what's up with that?" Because Chopper questioning why he also has to follow orders is just so on brand
I think the 8 is a StarGate Easter Egg, as the gate normally uses 7 "chevrons" for to tunnel from place to place, but an 8th is added to jump to another galaxy.
Do I want it to be Anakin? Absolutely I do. Do I think it is Anakin? No Will I keep clinging on to my delusions and assuming we're going to get a nice wholesome moment between Anakin and Ahsoka without any dark side twists? Hell yes But I have really high hopes for next episode, especially considering it was just announced that this episode will be played in theaters in addition to streaming, and it is directed by Dave Filoni. I think this episode will be a "journey through the past" where we get the appearance by Temuera Morrison as Rex during a Clone Wars Flashback, along with the young Ahsoka, and maybe some other key scenes. Who knows maybe Ewan McGregor might appear as an unknown cameo in a flashback scene?
Huyang does mention in Clone Wars that he had manned the ship carrying younglings to craft their lightsabers for a thousand years and never lost a fight. He might have been tested against many jedi and jedi in training, so knows a wide variety of lightsaber forms with the occational fight with pirates.
VOSS! In my best Witwer impersonation. I'm not sure if it wasn't noticed or cut for time, but when Baylen is deflecting the blast from Sabine with his saber, he starts off reacting to her shots before predicting them at the end of the fight. Could be an editing error, but towards the end of the fight you can see how he moves his saber into postion before she adjust and shoots. I had to rewatch this several times, to make sure I wasn't crazy. Baylen is a well studied and very tactically gifted person. His stance switches/adjustments during the feeling out phase with Ahsoka were tops.
Loved this episode! That’s just Anakin’s ep3 lightsaber though, the chrome just isn’t reflecting much. You can see the silver knurled section in the middle of the hilt where the control box is. It isn’t chrome on the original prop, that’s why it isn’t dark like the rest of the hilt. You can also see the shape of the round orange colored button just below the emitter of the hilt.
I have two theories for the ending scene. First one is that this Anakin is a guide for Ahsoka in the World between Worlds, just like the Morai Owl was a guide to help Ezra. He could guide Ahsoka to a portal where maybe she sees a vision of Ezra or maybe even Kanan. My second one is the reason the World between Worlds looks morr blue-ish and ghostly than in Rebels is because this could be the realm where Force Ghost reside. So this could be the classic situation of " You can stay here with me or go back to the real world to save your friends". Then, for example,Ahsoka could choose to go back to the real world but, to tie in the evil theme in the closing moments of the episode, Anakin could turn on her and be like " that's too bad because your staying here", Anakin reverting back into Darth Vader or the Son and Ahsoka has to duel him for her freedom. I have a few more ideas but, to the anyone that actually sees this, they're pretty far fetched.
@@NewRockstars when ahsoka grabbed the “map” orb or whatever we’re calling it, we see the flame under the orb ignite a couple times during the episode. So instead of the magic burning her hand, I think it was the flame that was heating the orb that damaged her
I do wonder if Baylon actually walked away from the order voluntarily, like Ahsoka, and thus survived order 66 because he wasn't in the war when it happened
Since he looks like a highly attuned Jedi, who is very spiritual it is likely he is one of those who foresaw order 66, but was still corrupted by the shroud of the dark side of the clone wars/galactic empires era.
At the end 28:15 I was watching with subtitles and it says "Vader Theme Plays" and I was like woah woah woah what?? Is this telling me that's not redeemed Anakin, but evil Vader???? I'm SO excited for the next episode!
When home boi said stay together and the first thing they did was split up I instantly was like “aaaaahhhh shit here we go, it’s all down hill from here 😭”
Idk if anyone has pointed this out but Baylan is pretty boss with the mind tricks too. A classic jedi move but adding the sith flair of hitting where it hurts. First with Ahsoka with the mention of Anakin then with Sabine using Ezra. Not sure how he knew of Ezra, either mind reading or he did his research, but nonetheless he's good
He’s badass asf and fairly beat Ashoka since Ashoka damaged herself by grabbing the night sister infected map. He might’ve been a former temple guard or something higher to know about Anakin so well
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a picture of KANAN JARRUS on the dashboard of the Ghost!!! At 29:36 of the episode, when Hera is boarding the Ghost to go to Seatos you can see it next to the round display thing on the dashboard. I'm not crying. You're crying.
6:00 "Protocol Droids may be programmed in over six million forms of communication, but I'm programmed in over six million forms of kicking your ass" -Huyang, probably
I love the Heavy Battle Style and Stance Baylan uses. It’s been a while in canon since we’ve seen someone use such a brutally strength based fighting style in star wars, and that i love of him.
I read a younger actress will play Ahsoka in a flashback scene. I'm guessing it's during the Clone Wars when Ahsoka was only 14 and being trained by Ani. I also predict we will see a recreation scene of the Vader vs. Ahsoka from Rebels S2 as a flashback that happens around 3 BBY when Ahsoka damages his mask.
The unexplored writings on the wall from Rebels would be a perfect story for the next Tales of The Jedi installment, IMO. Either way, do hope we get that on something at some point 🤞
This might be a stretch but if Ahsoka's chance to go to Peridia is by purgle. And since you have to establish a connection to them like ezra did before summoning them in the finale of rebels. May be Ahsoka needs to do the same thing but... We all know a certain little green force user that has a natural knack in establishing connections with animals. It's probably not the case but i could see it happening tbh.
At first I thought you were talking about Jacen (do you think he’s a force sensitive?) but now I realize you’re talking about grogu and I’m literally in shambles 😭😭
There were a few videos where people went back and thought they heard a force echo of Maul when Ahsoka was retrieving the map while she was examining the pillars. Later, it was revealed it wasn't a line from Maul but the Son. It would make sense that fake Anakin is actually the Son. That means he might have been working to set all of this up from the first episode.
Jacen's line "Mom? Why do I have to do what I am told, but you don't" Reminds me of Anakin and Ashoka's interraction during the space battle of Ryloth. Where they talk about when Anakin dont follow orders it's ok, but when Ashoka does it, it isnt
I think marrok was just an inquisitor that we just haven’t seen before that was hurt / dead and Morgan used nightsister magic to reanimate him for their use
What if Marrok was an inquisitor that came after Baylan during the reign of the empire and was killed and brought back to life as a thrall by nightsister magic. I think that makes more sense than a night brother
I believe Baylon was a Jedi Temple guard. From what we know in Rebels, the guard had yellow sabers like the Grand inquisitor so if you slightly bleed out your crystal from yellow, you’d get the orange that he has. Plus, I think he’d only know of Anakin’s fall if he was at the temple during Order 66 and saw him. He wants the power of the WBW to perhaps fix his inability to protect the temple and everyone in it.
With Marrok being the name of a knight from Arthurian legend and the Western armor and clothing motif of Skol, Hati, and Marrok (as opposed to the traditional samurai/Buddhist monk look of regular Jedi), I realized in this episode that Morgan is probably named after Morgan LeFey, the witch in Arthuian legends.
I was shocked that at about 9:33(ish) you didn’t exploit Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time” when talking about the GL Clock wipe with the Eye. Just saying.
The daughter was voiced by Adrienne Wilkinson who played the reincarnated version of Xena's daughter Livia having Calisto's savage personality. Now the daughter is reincarnated living through Ahsoka.
Did anyone notice in this episode that the droid configuring the hyperspace jump was in front of a screen with 8 coordinate vectors? Funny how that coincides exactly with the Stargate universe where it takes the 8th chevron on the stargate to go between nearby galaxies.
Awesome Video Erik!!! OMG OMG OMG THIS EPISODE WAS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED!!!!!! THIS IS STAR WARS!!!!!! The Lightsaber Fights were Perfect, The Acting was Perfect, Everything was just Perfect! It was already My Favorite Episode of The Show but then THAT ENDING. OMG THAT'S HOW YOU DO AN ENDING! It made Me Cry because I've been waiting to see Anakin and Ahsoka in a Scene Together in Live Action for so long and to see it finally happen is just Amazing!!! As a Huge Star Wars Fan, I'm So Happy right now! This is some of The Best Star Wars I've ever seen! 10/10!!!!!! THANK YOU DAVE FILONI!!!!!!!
It's interesting they need 9 calculations to be able to jump accurately. Reminds me of the way Stargates work. 8 symbols form the points of a cube around the destination plus 1 for the starting point
@@jeremy3747it's because duel wield is better for taking on multiple targets whereas single wield is more effective for 1v1. If you've played jedi survivor you'll know this
20:07 Wouldn’t the night of a thousand tears be between 0 Bby and 4 aby since that’s after rebels ended and the epilogue of rebels is literally the same scene you see at the end of Ashoka ep2. The empire wiped out mandalore before their defeat at the battle of Endor
Yesterday I almost I cried when Anakin said to Ahsoka "Hello Snips" it gave me goosebumps, big nostalgia and I been waiting for it since I finished watching the whole Clone Wars series long ago.
Marrok was the Eigth Brother, who was killed on Malachor in Rebels, and then likely resurrected by Morgan Elsbeth using night sister magic. Seriously, look at both of them side-by-side and there's no doubt!
I still think Marrok was the Eighth Brother but resurrected by Nightsister magic. I mean, he was the inquisitor that Ahsoka killed in Rebels’ season 2 finale so it would make sense he would return, either to avenge his defeat or his life.
This was an excellent episode, but Ray Stevenson was absolutely fantastic, the highlight of the episode. Baylan is such an interesting character, really eager to see more of him. Also intrigued by Shin and a bit by Marrok (I'd just like a quick line or two explaining if he was an empowered character, a single sole brought from the dead, or many souls in one form), though - oddly - not that interested in Elsbeth yet, maybe later.
Thank you for all your hard work. I love this Channel. Ive become so much wiser on the starwars Universe because of you. I grew up with the Old movies in the 80’s and allways has been a starwars fan.🙏🏻❤️
Do you think Anakin is a Force Ghost version of himself, or... AnaSKIN worn by The Son?
Definitely not himself
Bad de aging on Anakin in my opinion
I think it’s Anakin, but in some time we didn’t see on Mortis he goes to the world between worlds
I think it’s the son.

His stance switches/adjustments during the feeling out phase with Ahsoka were tops.
Loved this episode! That’s just Anakin’s ep3 lightsaber though, the chrome just isn’t reflecting much. You can see the silver knurled section in the middle of the hilt where the control box is. It isn’t chrome on the original prop, that’s why it isn’t dark like the rest of the hilt. You can also see the shape of the round orange colored button just below the emitter of the hilt.
I have two theories for the ending scene. First one is that this Anakin is a guide for Ahsoka in the World between Worlds, just like the Morai Owl was a guide to help Ezra. He could guide Ahsoka to a portal where maybe she sees a vision of Ezra or maybe even Kanan.
My second one is the reason the World between Worlds looks morr blue-ish and ghostly than in Rebels is because this could be the realm where Force Ghost reside. So this could be the classic situation of " You can stay here with me or go back to the real world to save your friends". Then, for example,Ahsoka could choose to go back to the real world but, to tie in the evil theme in the closing moments of the episode, Anakin could turn on her and be like " that's too bad because your staying here", Anakin reverting back into Darth Vader or the Son and Ahsoka has to duel him for her freedom.
I have a few more ideas but, to the anyone that actually sees this, they're pretty far fetched.
I believe the Anakin that we saw was the version of him that died that night on Mustafar and somehow it was preseved in the world between worlds
He was already Darth Vader on Mustafar. He changes to Vader right after he kills Mace Windu.
That's definitely the era of Anakin they're going for, visually
@@NewRockstars when ahsoka grabbed the “map” orb or whatever we’re calling it, we see the flame under the orb ignite a couple times during the episode. So instead of the magic burning her hand, I think it was the flame that was heating the orb that damaged her
@@NewRockstars Just with more limbs than we remember.
Yeah like this could be the live-action version of him that gave Ahsoka her lightsabers to fight Maul in the final season of the Clone wars.
So, Shin Hati doesn't blink.. Like.. At all.
It's really cool.
You worked 8 hours through the night for this, you deserve some well needed rest
I'm scared to tell my wife what time I came to bed lol
Lol
Erik will get some rest and wake in a cold sweat thinking about I Am Groot Season 2.
@@NewRockstars do y’all use premiere pro to make your videos? And what type of camera?
Lmfao no he didn't, the NRS team did
I could have sworn Chopper said, “Yeah, what’s up with that?” 😂
I do wonder if Baylon actually walked away from the order voluntarily, like Ahsoka, and thus survived order 66 because he wasn't in the war when it happened
Maybe he had a vision
Since he looks like a highly attuned Jedi, who is very spiritual it is likely he is one of those who foresaw order 66, but was still corrupted by the shroud of the dark side of the clone wars/galactic empires era.
I have a feeling he will be like what Qui Gon would have been if he survived. He knew something was coming and the order was not where it should be.
I love the less "flashy-samurai" / more "brute force-viking" fighting style of Baylen. He is just determined
Excellent series so far. ... Love the places that they're taking things, 💯
Agreed!
At the end 28:15 I was watching with subtitles and it says "Vader Theme Plays" and I was like woah woah woah what?? Is this telling me that's not redeemed Anakin, but evil Vader???? I'm SO excited for the next episode!
Best episode with great visuals, action and character moments. Ray is crushing it RIP. Can't wait for next episode and hope to get Mace And Kenobi.
From what ive heard we don't get Mace or kenobi but one can dream
When home boi said stay together and the first thing they did was split up I instantly was like “aaaaahhhh shit here we go, it’s all down hill from here 😭”
Idk if anyone has pointed this out but Baylan is pretty boss with the mind tricks too. A classic jedi move but adding the sith flair of hitting where it hurts. First with Ahsoka with the mention of Anakin then with Sabine using Ezra. Not sure how he knew of Ezra, either mind reading or he did his research, but nonetheless he's good
He’s badass asf and fairly beat Ashoka since Ashoka damaged herself by grabbing the night sister infected map. He might’ve been a former temple guard or something higher to know about Anakin so well
His use of all the tricks of the trade, a formidable foe.
Thank you so much for your hard and tireless work! We love you for it!
That ending is amazing, never did I think this would happen, at most just a clone wars flashback or maybe force gohst anakin
I dreamed of this moment, never thought it would happen!
Ladies and gentlemen, there is a picture of KANAN JARRUS on the dashboard of the Ghost!!! At 29:36 of the episode, when Hera is boarding the Ghost to go to Seatos you can see it next to the round display thing on the dashboard. I'm not crying. You're crying.
Ahsoka is legendary status… seeing live action world between worlds is next level!!!
6:00 "Protocol Droids may be programmed in over six million forms of communication, but I'm programmed in over six million forms of kicking your ass"
-Huyang, probably
This episode, Balin was more Jedi than anyone else. Like as if he was the ideal dark Jedi instead of a Sith.
Really like the map burned on Ahsoka's hand idea. Excited to see how they catch up to Sabine and the others.
I really hope it's 'the son'. Also, it would be cool if Morai leads Ahsoka to a portal where Ezra is, mirroring the events of Rebels...
I love the Heavy Battle Style and Stance Baylan uses. It’s been a while in canon since we’ve seen someone use such a brutally strength based fighting style in star wars, and that i love of him.
I read a younger actress will play Ahsoka in a flashback scene. I'm guessing it's during the Clone Wars when Ahsoka was only 14 and being trained by Ani. I also predict we will see a recreation scene of the Vader vs. Ahsoka from Rebels S2 as a flashback that happens around 3 BBY when Ahsoka damages his mask.
😮
@@margiemiguel8878it's the young actress from house of the dragon, the one that tries it on with Damon
Thanks for the break down. your hard work is much appreciated. thanks again everyone, great job
The unexplored writings on the wall from Rebels would be a perfect story for the next Tales of The Jedi installment, IMO.
Either way, do hope we get that on something at some point 🤞
I swear chopper says “yeah whats up with that” after Jacen asks his question
This might be a stretch but if Ahsoka's chance to go to Peridia is by purgle. And since you have to establish a connection to them like ezra did before summoning them in the finale of rebels. May be Ahsoka needs to do the same thing but... We all know a certain little green force user that has a natural knack in establishing connections with animals. It's probably not the case but i could see it happening tbh.
At first I thought you were talking about Jacen (do you think he’s a force sensitive?) but now I realize you’re talking about grogu and I’m literally in shambles 😭😭
i can see this to be fair. would be nuts
yes please!!!!
Ahsoka may be able to get to Peridia simply via the World Between Worlds
@sausagerace123 I thought Yoda at first and was like he's dead by this point but then was like oh they mean Grogu 😅
There were a few videos where people went back and thought they heard a force echo of Maul when Ahsoka was retrieving the map while she was examining the pillars. Later, it was revealed it wasn't a line from Maul but the Son. It would make sense that fake Anakin is actually the Son. That means he might have been working to set all of this up from the first episode.
Jacen's line "Mom? Why do I have to do what I am told, but you don't" Reminds me of Anakin and Ashoka's interraction during the space battle of Ryloth. Where they talk about when Anakin dont follow orders it's ok, but when Ashoka does it, it isnt
I'm happy with Stevens potrayal of the Dark Jedi. No screaming no angry EMO vibes. Just chill like Count Dooku.
Yep. He’s not a Sith, he’s a Jedi who lost his faith. I love how you can see the difference.
I think marrok was just an inquisitor that we just haven’t seen before that was hurt / dead and Morgan used nightsister magic to reanimate him for their use
Like The Mountain in late-season GoT
So glad it wasn't a trick. It was LEGIT Annakin! Fact is I LOVE its post Annakin
Ahsoka v Marrok duel reminded me of Akira Kurasawa 1962's Sanjuro. Sanjuro vs Hanbei. Marrok gas spewing out was like the blood spewing out of Hanbei
I didn't know how much I needed to see Huhang go full 'real steel' mode until now 😂
What if Marrok was an inquisitor that came after Baylan during the reign of the empire and was killed and brought back to life as a thrall by nightsister magic. I think that makes more sense than a night brother
Solid thinking
That was along the lines of my first thought as well
I believe Baylon was a Jedi Temple guard. From what we know in Rebels, the guard had yellow sabers like the Grand inquisitor so if you slightly bleed out your crystal from yellow, you’d get the orange that he has. Plus, I think he’d only know of Anakin’s fall if he was at the temple during Order 66 and saw him. He wants the power of the WBW to perhaps fix his inability to protect the temple and everyone in it.
6:02 the fact that huyang can fight is awesome.
With Marrok being the name of a knight from Arthurian legend and the Western armor and clothing motif of Skol, Hati, and Marrok (as opposed to the traditional samurai/Buddhist monk look of regular Jedi), I realized in this episode that Morgan is probably named after Morgan LeFey, the witch in Arthuian legends.
I was shocked that at about 9:33(ish) you didn’t exploit Cher’s “If I Could Turn Back Time” when talking about the GL Clock wipe with the Eye. Just saying.
The daughter was voiced by Adrienne Wilkinson who played the reincarnated version of Xena's daughter Livia having Calisto's savage personality. Now the daughter is reincarnated living through Ahsoka.
Did anyone notice in this episode that the droid configuring the hyperspace jump was in front of a screen with 8 coordinate vectors? Funny how that coincides exactly with the Stargate universe where it takes the 8th chevron on the stargate to go between nearby galaxies.
Ashoka’s finishing slash on Marrok was straight out of every Zatoichi film!
absolutely, all those duels were so samurai movie.. awesome.
Awesome Video Erik!!!
OMG OMG OMG THIS EPISODE WAS EVERYTHING I EVER WANTED!!!!!!
THIS IS STAR WARS!!!!!! The Lightsaber Fights were Perfect, The Acting was Perfect,
Everything was just Perfect! It was already My Favorite Episode of The Show but then
THAT ENDING. OMG THAT'S HOW YOU DO AN ENDING! It made Me Cry because
I've been waiting to see Anakin and Ahsoka in a Scene Together in Live Action
for so long and to see it finally happen is just Amazing!!!
As a Huge Star Wars Fan, I'm So Happy right now!
This is some of The Best Star Wars I've ever seen! 10/10!!!!!!
THANK YOU DAVE FILONI!!!!!!!
I'm loving this Japanese film vibe in the stand offs
The rando droids in ep1
Marrok in ep2
The camera angels multiple times in ep4
It's just great
It's interesting they need 9 calculations to be able to jump accurately. Reminds me of the way Stargates work. 8 symbols form the points of a cube around the destination plus 1 for the starting point
Anyone else wondering why ashoka only used a single blade in both of the duels this episode
I've been wondering about this too, and cannot believe that no one else is really talking about this.
@@jeremy3747it's because duel wield is better for taking on multiple targets whereas single wield is more effective for 1v1. If you've played jedi survivor you'll know this
@@joebond545relax…. Breath
Seatos made me think about Yoda singing the seagulls song
20:07 Wouldn’t the night of a thousand tears be between 0 Bby and 4 aby since that’s after rebels ended and the epilogue of rebels is literally the same scene you see at the end of Ashoka ep2. The empire wiped out mandalore before their defeat at the battle of Endor
Yesterday I almost I cried when Anakin said to Ahsoka "Hello Snips" it gave me goosebumps, big nostalgia and I been waiting for it since I finished watching the whole Clone Wars series long ago.
Marrok was the Eigth Brother, who was killed on Malachor in Rebels, and then likely resurrected by Morgan Elsbeth using night sister magic. Seriously, look at both of them side-by-side and there's no doubt!
Yeah I thought they looked similar as well, and was wondering why no one was addressing this
The Eighth Brother was a Terellian Jango Jumper. Wrong body type.
@0LadyV0 Yeah, you're right. Helmets are sorta similar, but that's about it.
@@elsedavidson3458 And both Kanan and Ahsoka were taller than him.
If he's dead, then how is he a force user
24:41-28:28
*"This is where the fun begins."*
I think the reason Ahsoka was the exception to the rule of time travel is because she has that Mortis energy
I still think Marrok was the Eighth Brother but resurrected by Nightsister magic. I mean, he was the inquisitor that Ahsoka killed in Rebels’ season 2 finale so it would make sense he would return, either to avenge his defeat or his life.
This was an excellent episode, but Ray Stevenson was absolutely fantastic, the highlight of the episode. Baylan is such an interesting character, really eager to see more of him. Also intrigued by Shin and a bit by Marrok (I'd just like a quick line or two explaining if he was an empowered character, a single sole brought from the dead, or many souls in one form), though - oddly - not that interested in Elsbeth yet, maybe later.
15:59 “no just stop. Why do people think this?” Just like the whole Mephisto thing from Wandavision.
The fact that the blade notes are fifths mean they’re both neither major or minor 👀
26:13 Glad I’m not the only one who noticed!!!
If you look into the smoke after marrok is killed, you can actually see 3 heads leaving him, I’d like to think he was being possessed by them
Thank you for all your hard work. I love this Channel. Ive become so much wiser on the starwars Universe because of you.
I grew up with the Old movies in the 80’s and allways has been a starwars fan.🙏🏻❤️
