How do you think this season of Ahsoka will END?
aquaman drowns :(
C1-10P will commit another war crime for sure.
Too soon
Cliffhanger
It'll end same way most of these series have ended.. having no real impact on anything ...
I just realized that when Baylan says "children stories come to life" could be interpretted as the clone wars and rebels cartoons coming to live action.
🤔🤔
🤯🤯🤯
No
That’s how I interpreted it as well
Nice one
Ezra - " The force is my weapon"
Also Ezra - " so anyway, I started blasting"
Also my exact thoughts LMAO
😂😂
Well written shot. We know how random he is from Rebels
I think he was just a little nervous about jumping back on that lightsaber horse so suddenly lol.
10;years is a long time to not swing a saber
Im really in love with Baylan from a character point of view and acting. I am extremely saddened that Ray Stevenson is no longer with us. Rip a brilliant actor. Wish we could get more
Same, and his sith outfit is dope.
Oh wow, your comment informed me of his death - genuinely saddened! I love his character in Ahsoka.
he is really not sith, he is a conflicted dark jedi, he misses the jedi order, you can see it anytime they are referenced, but he is no longer interested in the purity of the order, he is very emotionally strong in the force. his form 1/2 fighting style is really hard to match, its very reminiscent of vader after he looses mobility, he returns to form 1/2 and becomes a frigging monster tank with a saber! I digress. Baylan seems motivated by a broader grander purpose that he has not revealed, but it is force motivated, and not what would be considered the living force, or the here and now. and hell I am not even sure he knows the full implications or motivation of what he is following, but he is compelled. I hope they get to close his arch, but I think they may not...because I feel like his arch might continue into season two, tho I don't know how now that Ray is no longer with us 😭
Gerald Butler and Leiv Schriber being casted for take over the role
@@michaelleddy3701ooh, that’s actually an interesting suggestion. I’m going to reserve opinion until the finale to see how they handle his arc, but this might work nicely if his story was meant to continue.
I love how non-monotone Anakin Skywalker is in this series, shows good emotions and sounds like a true Anakin in the clone wars cartoon. Good job Hayden!
So true. George Lucas made him look too emo in prequels. He is so well balanced in Dave Filoni's universe and both Dave and Hayden get it.
That just shows how much time and a better script can help an actor out!
@@thatplatypusguy I agree!
@@mjarc1Gotta keep in mind that the prequel movies are literally the 3 worst times in his life. We're seeing him at his worst. I don't know if that was intentional (kinda hard to tell when George did something on purpose or if it just worked out), but with that added context, I see Hayden's performance in the prequels in a different light now.
I always interpreted the monotone as speaking more like Vader does. I do like it better this way, though.
When Ezra said I think I’m going home, I yelled noooo😫 that feels like a line you hear before the tragedy of the person never going home
Yeah I got the same bad vibes every time he mentions going home 😢
He said the same thing last episode too! I was like, oh shit, Ezra's dying on Peridia I guess.
He’s going home right into the force Old Ben style
It's not Ezra it's dark magic illusion
Shin Hati's sword distorting by the force push from Ezra was brilliant. Whoever came up with the effect should get a raise.
So happy we got an Anakin Cameo this episode. Kiner is killing it with the soundtrack
Such an incredible score on this series.
@@NewRockstarshow are you the only comment to top comment
Loved seeing Admiral Ackbar too❤
Oh wow, more references to the better days of Star War. Disney originality strikes again...
@@dani_i8942so you don't want them to acknowledge anything released before the Disney buyout? That seems stupid...
Anthony Daniels is very protective of C3PO. After listening to his audio book he talks in depth how he would only give up the suit whoever put it managed to fully embody it.
He's also known to be kind of a diva about it often tormenting poor Kenny Baker for years. The two DID NOT like each other
He also has specifically said his name is pronounced "Antony", not "Anthony". The H is silent in the British version of the name.
@@JudgeNLN Yeah, this is true, it's pronounced "Antony" in the UK. That's why it's common for guys here to be called "Ant" - short for Ant-ony.
@@laserbeamlightningWell Kenny didn't really have to do anything in terms of physicality, so I can get how Anthony being specific with his movements would seem silly to him.
I don't know if Anthony did just the voice or the physical acting too but I think the head up is in character because he is addressing a group of people that is in an elevated position, just like when he presented himself to Jabba the Hutt. What looks weird is the neck piece. Instead of golden chrome it is just dull golden and looks strange. This neck piece has been always duller than the face or chest, but since it is not seen very much often in detail, it stands out immediately to us. Anyway, I think it looks too dull this time.
Huyang is slowly becoming my favorite from this series. He never misses.
Ahsoka and Andor are peak Star Wars to me. Andor crafted a perfect story with little to no fan service. Ahsoka is chocked full of fan service but in meaningful and plot-driving ways. Andor feels self contained, while Ahsoka feels like a celebration of all Star Wars.
Agreed!!!!
Season 1 of Mando was up there
Completely agree, possibly my favorite live action Star Wars projects of all time.
Ahsoka is mid, you're letting the tital character blind you to how completely average this series is.
really well said!
I hope Luke got to see Ahsoka’s recordings of Anakin
Good point
I need a scene of Luke watching all 20
And I hope that eventually Luke and Ezra could meet.
Luke won't bingewatch. He's too busy. Ahsoka can just make him a mixtape.
Did he watch the 21st recording? Younglings...😮
One thing I noticed this episode is that the howlers Baylan and Shin ride are black and white. The Skoll and Hati wolves are also black and white.
Same with the clothes that Baylan and Shin wears.
Im so saddened that the actor who played Baylan Skoll died.... I love this character!
RIP Ray
Wait... What
@@DatBlueVQ He died earlier this year.
@@Pestsoutwest Just looked it up, damn... He's such a cool character
He left us with a masterpiece, I just hope they got to finish his story and not rush it.
I didn't even consider it as a possiblity, but since you brought it up I really hope Ezra finds Kanans saber and uses it going forward
He had a connection to it, along with the holocron Kanan kept, so I can definitely see it happening. Especially if Eric's prediction of Ezra pulling his old infiltration hijinks to hitch a ride comes true (definitely a high probability.)
or give it to Jacen
ikr!!! mind blown
Thrawn doesn't have it so i doubt lol kanans lightsaber was most likely destroyed
Ezra doesn’t want to use a lightsaber anymore I don’t think he would take it even if he found it
I'm genuinely scared of Chopper..
You should bee you should beee
Dude was ready to commit a hate crime
He would shock your ass if you talk shit whereas R2 would just sigh, or the others would talk back, I love it, my little unhinged buddy
Of course, who wouldn't be afraid of someone that turns the Geneva Convention into Suggestions
There's s few videos out there about chopper being a genocidal maniac. He really does/says some terrible stuff during rebels lol.
It was mentioned that the night sisters will probably turn on Thrawn once they get to the original galaxy... and you're probably right, but Thrawn has DEFINITELY thought of this. He's always 6 steps ahead, and he's definitely using the night sisters to get home himself. Wouldn't be surprised if they are slaughtered upon coming out of hyper space. But then again, the nightsisters could be resurrecting all of those coffins at the same time, erupting in an all out civil war on the Chimera. But I'm sure Thrawn thought of THAT as well, and likely has them in a cargo hold that can be ejected. When Thrawn is in play, you need to think of every outcome, like he does. That's what makes this series so great, now that he's back.
yeah if anything thrawn's yeeting all their bodies into space as soon as they take off and neutralizing the three sisters somehow
Ezra knows what frequency the Purgil respond to (as we saw in the Rebels finale episode). So it’s possible they can just go up into space in Ahsoka’s ship and broadcast that frequency to call back some Purgil. Ahsoka and Ezra have proven they can communicate with the Purgil so maybe they can do it again to get back to their original Galaxy.
Or their ship now knows the coordinates from having physically been in both points in space so can just hit "previous destination" on their GPS.
But why would Ezra not have snuck onto thrawns ship, got in a tie fighter, gone into space and called the purgil leaving thrawn? I feel like if Ezra could get the purgil to make the jump again he should have been back to the main galaxy a long time ago.
Are we overestimating his force abilities?
i dont see their ships engines being able to go that far tbh. hence why they needed so many hyperdrives for that space ring.
@@DrewCFuhr
hmm, perhaps all of those mines outside the dead whale rings were put there to keep Ezra on the planet too@@M3EF
"We are the ones who guard the power. We are the middle, the beginning, and the end."
-Daughter of Mortis, S4 E12 of Rebels.
I have seen NOBODY mention this. This lines up perfectly with Baylan's goals. I think he seeks to undo time itself in the world between worlds. "Power, such as you've never dreamed" and "I seek the beginning". These lines from him seem to hint at the Mortis gods.
Shin also deflected a lightsaber hit with her vanguard as well, so she and Sabine both have Beskar armor
I predict in a future episode when Shin and Sabine are working together, Sabine will ask Shin "Remember that time you stabbed me?" Peace/JT
Vambrace*, and there's non-beskar resistant materials.
@@ultrabigfella beskar was the only thing resistant to a lightsaber which is why it is so valued. remember obi wan and qui jon used their lightsabers on a blast door on hgrevious ship
@@cameronliddell9533 literally one Google search can reveal multiple Lightsaber resistant materials.
I do hope we get a Zeb cameo in the last episode. I also wouldn’t mind a Agent Kallus reference or cameo as well.
Definitely there most likely on lira san at least thats where they are at the end of rebels which is the beginning of ashoka
Same here.
Every time I see a large amount of Aurebesh I always think “New Rockstars will take care of that for me”
i love how ahsoka was more happy to see ezra despite how she was willing to let him stay on peridia… and sabine was just like ezra 😀
You might want to watch episode 5
idk if it’s just me, but I expected more from Ezra in terms of force power and abilities. still 1 episode left tho 🤞🏻
I get it but he’s not even picked up a blade yet. Let’s wait and
see.
Well, he was still a Padawan when he got yeeted into nowhere, so he probably couldn't learn as much of the Jedi ways
He was also stranded in that galaxy for 9 years without anyone training him
He stopped a light saber mid-air.
I really hope he doesn’t turn into a Monk and rather goes back to sabers
Very nice seeing space Moses and his friends back together
Good call - he's way more Space Moses than Space Jesus
@@zhuddle kanan can be space jesus
Ezra is such a troll! And I love hooyanga's sass
This ep had a lot of droid-based sass
That post credit scene is now head cannon for me. Nobody can convince me otherwise. It's too perfect! Well done! ❤
Except he was alive and contacted Kas after Hosnian Prime's demise, verifying he was off world when Starkiller Base struck
@@thomaschristman7933 don't come at me with facts and logic! I will have none of it! This is how it actually happened (in a completely fictional universe...). I HAVE SPOKEN!!! 😜
For get Darth Jar Jar, Darth Chopper is now way scarier
Was anticipating this break down just as much as the episode!
Love The Analysis! You cannot make decisions on the New Republic Defenses without the Defense Council leader. That was C-3PO’s argument, and why the council was forced to admit they overstepped. This was emphasized when C-3PO tells Senator Xiono that he will be forgiven for his overstep of not including her in the original senatorial inquiry.
Baylan continues to intrigue me every episode, can't wait to see what happens in the finale!!! Great work Erik and team!!
My favorite part of this episode is when Ahsoka told Baylan "Perhaps, I don't have to." Rosario sounded exactly like Ashley Eckstein when she said that!
What redemption for Hayden in this series! So happy he got another real shot at Anakin and he's not just emo the whole time
2 coffin flop references and some chopper sketch comedy? I love this video.
Thrawn was blockading Lothal before he got zoomed away by Ezra so it make sense he has those mines, or at least the equipment to construct some with his ship.
I loved the call back when Ezra says the force is my Ally. Echoing Yoda's, "for my ally is the force. And a powerful ally it is."
Was surprised to see 3PO make an appearance but loved the classic Star Wars theme when he did
The weird back arch the person in the suit has took me out the moment though
@ObsessiveGeek it was the thing I noticed a lot. I was half expecting what ever cover they have for cables to pop out xD
I'm thinking the little creatures floating around the graveyard were probably meant to be a space version of krill, one of the major food sources for whales.
Mynoks
I love that he's coming back. Anakin is always my favorite!
I just noticed that behind the back, double stab move Ahsoka was practicing is the same move Palpatine used to kill Savage Opress.
Exactly what I thought
I started watching these breakdown videos during Mando season two and have been locked ever since. Thank you for all the work you put into these videos!
Man I really wish we would have had New Rockstars around when LOST was airing weekly. While I know it's divisive to some, I never had more fun week to week trying to figure out what was going on then when I was watching new episodes of LOST.
I gotta say that you guys are by far the best review channel and analysis channel i’ve ever seen. the detail compared to other ahsoka analysis videos is unparalleled
Ezra probably chose to fight using only his force abilities because it’s what he’s gotten used to doing on exile.
If he’s been honing his force abilities then he should have no problem handling a lightsaber since they both require that ability. It's asinine to say that he can use one without the other.
@@st3althyone I’m not saying he can’t i’m just saying maybe he prefers not to yet as he feels more comfortable fighting without one. I’m sure he’ll pick it back up eventually
@@Kev24 that makes sense. In a real fight, it would make sense to use the weapon you've been training with for the past 9 years rather than the before that.
It’s so cool seeing the animatronics for the aliens. The eyes blink!
Does anyone agree with me that Baylan Skoll is one of the best villains ever in Star Wars? I need a Baylan Skoll backstory comic or something.
The more I'm watching this, the more I think ahsoka is the power, or the one who will find it
ezra putting together kanan's lightsaber would be so cool
I had NO idea that was Young Kanan geeking over ahsoka wow that also confirms my prediction that the young boy who watched his master get blasted by her own troopers was none other then Jarrus wow (I’m sure they confirm it later in the show I’ve only seen the first few episodes ok relax😂)
To me it looks like those night sister statues are all pointed toward the peak. I don’t what that could mean, but it’s interesting
I hope this finales an hour long and I hope we see live action Ezra do some saber action
Agree because he doesn't look exceptionally gifted with the Force
Nah Disney will continue to disrespect him and keep pushing Sabine instead.
@@terrycarlton6991LMAOOOO. Not gifted with the force? You obviously haven’t watched rebels Mr casual fan
@@StrykeSZN I think what he meant is that Ezra looked nerfed in this episode. Rather than showing us the boosted Ezra.
@@isthemrsa5143really? I think he didn't feel the need to use super crazy force on the bandits and the fact he fought Hati with no saber and pretty much won that fight, I say he is quite good with the force. And also no need to reveal everything in the fight
I am always so excited when I see these are posted. Fav content right now.
The orbital mines are way older than the reference mentioned. They first appear in the xwing/tie fighter video games made by lucasarts in the early 90s. I recognized the way they were setup and their homing behavior immediately.
Nah, people are too quick to dismiss necromancy on the Night Troopers. Sure, they didn't have green smoke. None of the resurrected night sisters did either when grievous killed them. Only enhanced beings have green smoke (maul, savage). I think it would be interesting if next episode its revealed that the Night Troopers get up or are collected to be used again.
Additional note: the red fabric is only on the Night Troopers, nothing else imperial has it. Thrawn doesn't wear that color, nothing about the weapons, equipment, saddles for the howlers, or anything else on the Chimera has red. This could mean that there is something more directly linked to the 3 great mothers. Maybe a binding ritual like how the Grand Inquisitor's soul was bound by darth vader, but instead of being guardians of a specific thing, they are bound inside the armor. That's why the armor gets repaired instead of repurposing raider armor or some other source. If they dispose of the damaged/ruined armor, the bound trooper's soul would dissipate.
Again, just my guesses, very excited to see how this season ends!
I love the night sisters arc throughout every series
The other thing, with the trooper helmet having the ribbon going inside the eyehole; meaning no lens. I would have thought you'd see something (his eyes), but there was just blackness. Maybe nothing, but that is bugging me.
Ray as Baylon is one of the greatest characters ever in the saga. We have all lost a lot with his passing. RIP
i love how erik brings up what the closed captions say
I personally LOVE that Ezra is using only the force to fight. It's obviously a huge nod to Avatar. Very Airbender style of fighting. It also gives insight into his survival over the last decade. I'm also happy he didn't lose his connection to the force. I was thinking he would have lost it to avoid being located by the Nightsisters. Just like how Ahsoka explained that Grogu shouldn't be trained and should let his force sensitivity fade.
Was it just me,
Or did C3P0 have a little more wiring around the mid-section? 😂😂
He's been enjoying his time as aid to the senator! 😅
Looking more forward to this then the actual episode! Thank you ❤
Loved how ezra taught the noti how to use a slingshot great rebels nostalgia right there😄.
My biggest plot hole in this show is : why didn't Thrawn, master strategist, knowing that Morgan was coming thanks to the grand mothers, didn't start to load the chimera before her arrival
Assuming they are indeed bodies, perhaps the exact timing they were moved out the catacombs was essential.
Maybe because he wasn't sure if Morgan would succeed?
gotta let the Rebels series effect play in, it wouldn't be like Dave Filoni if the rebels didn't just randomly burst into the scene of Thrawn in the middle of his plans. Happened all the time in the series@@zedzedzzzzzz3d
Because he didn't know. Go back and play the first thing that the witches say to them.
They draw power from the bodies while in the catacombs, having them on the ship makes the sisters weaker, so the timing was important
I really like Mon. I really liked her role in andor. Also, ADMIRAL ACKBAR!. Xiono's acting is really good as well. I really like how he speaks his lines.
I loved the part when Ezra said “it’s forcin’ time” and forced all over thrawn
It was epic
Most stupid comment of all time
Nah fr thoo
And then when he scrumpt "EZRA. FORRRRCE" and forced all those bandits into the atmosphere. Cinema!
I thought his "force" ability looked weak. Clearly he still needed a weapon
I love that thrawn seems to think back to his time with anakin and then vader from the book thrawn alliances.
Just needing say thank you for these videos! Entertaining, informative and love the speculation! Appreciate all that you do! 🤛
The chords played in Baylan’s theme are the same as the main chords of “Ahsoka and Anakin” from Rebels. The track titled “Master and Apprentice” serves as a mirror to the aforementioned Ahsoka and Anakin ✨
I thought Anakin’s line:
“As your master, it’s my responsibility to protect you. So practice these forms often… or at least more than I do.”
Was a solid callback to what Obi-Wan says to him during the speeder chase in AOTC:
“If you spent as long practicing your saber techniques as you do your wit, you would rival Master Yoda as a swordsman.”
Seeing Ezra block a lightsaber with just the force badass.
Thank you New Rockstars. It is my routine to watch and go here after watching any series/episode. 😅
Love the Chopper post credit scene
A force kick isn't that strange. I mean, they use the force to enhance their leaps.
Love your team. You all do great things and make great videos together.
You guys are the best. Absolutely epic again.
Baylan is clearly looking for Mephisto
😂😂
"if we get seperated or something happens you need to be able to make it on your own" - Anakins word phrasing in that recording makes me think it was made prior to the episode when Ahsoka gets kidnapped by the Trandoshans.
Clone wars and rebels are easily the best Star Wars content ever. Not even a competition
Your videos are amazing! Thanks for the great content! Keep doing it🤌🏻🤌🏻
I believe the opened mouth statues will emit a red beam towards the tower at the henge atop it. Just like the Great Mothers orbs that emit the red beam in their palm.
It would be cool to see ashoka and ezra some how find a way to use the world between worlds
I have been looking forward for this
You are the eminence of nerdgasm and it’s a delight!! Thank you for your Star Wars commentary and insights. Keep on keepin’ on 🤙🏽
Thrawn's art is shown on his troops. What can we learn by studying them?
I thought it was interesting how Ahsoka was stalling for time against Baylan, and Thrawn was also stalling for time against them all. Meanwhile, the night sister are also quietly holding their cards close to their chests ... biding their time!
I also liked the way this series isn't a simple good vs bad, 1 side vs 1 other side, and I'm looking forward to the big reveal of what Baylan spends most of the episode staring at in the distance. I'm guessing that will _accelerate_ things for the Night Sisters and make them want to get the hell outta Dodge!
The coffin flop reference had me ROLLING!!!
Baylan Skoll is SO freaking interesting and cool !
This is AWESOME Star Wars ! I am a happy fan
not sure if it's good or bad that I look forward to these breakdowns just as much as the episodes...
Ahsoka series is starting intense predictions like we did on game of thrones which is a good thing
Sad that Ezra didn't just go HAM
When Baylon & Shin & the mercenaries arrived. It reminded me of the scene from Lord of The Rings when the Orcs on Wargs arrived to ambush the refugee Rohan
5:06
“Carson will not stand for this!”
*Carson proceeds to stand up*
Ha!😂
I think it'd be nice to have an Empire style Ending. Maybe have the mc30cs still waiting there or have returned to wait for Ahsoka since mon Mothma seems to understand. Only to have thrawn decimate the ships with ahsoka and the crew barely escaping. Perhaps Teva is killed which us what brings Din back in to the fold since they were friends, and brings in Zeb. Leading to either a season two or the movie picking up with the ghost crew traveling to get everyone they need for an epic battle against Thrawn, while a paid off new republic stalls.
Top notch video sir! Love your content!!!
I shouldn't have laughed so hard at that "after credits." 🤣
The flute-like sound Ahsoka's lightsabers make reminds me of the toy sabers I had as a kid that whistled when you'd swing them. 😃
That senator is a imperial
The little Noti child’s doll was actually an officially licensed Max Rebo plushie.
great as always
Love the 'I think you should leave' nod!!
6:25 Carrie Fisher's daughter might end up playing Senator Leia.
Billie Lourd
I want a secret 9th episode so bad!
And 10th and 11th...😂
Will you settle for a 2nd season? Fingers crossed
Here for this breakdown! Let’s goooo!
Keep up the great work, Voss!
