@Indiana_Minotaur From what I remember, there was a scene where Ahsoka, Anakin, and Captain Rex, along with some tanks attacking Cad Bane's ship in space.
1000% agree, Ray Stevenson (RIP) looks like absolute perfection in this role. I'm also getting a father/daughter "vibe" from Baylan and Shin. If not actual then metaphorical. It's just the body language and subtext in the way Shin keeps looking at Baylan whenever they stand next to each other and she's always asking for guidance. And the way Baylan explains things simply and calmly is like an old patient dad. It's not something you would expect from the bad guys. And I much like the snarky dialogue between Shin and Morgan, showing that there's a much different relationship going on there. The antagonists in this series have a lot of strong characterization. I don't care what other Star Wars fans may say, I'm enjoying this show.
I agree. I've seen people calling this Female Wars and woke but I'm not picking up on any of that. And that's coming from a fan who has been disenfranchised with Star Wars because it has become woke with no good characters and relevant storytelling. But ALL of the female characters in this have experience and are amazing characters in their own right. Including Shin who we've just been introduced to. There are things that aren't perfect like the getting stabbed by a lightsaber and pulling through like you stubbed your toe is annoying but THIS is Star Wars. I don't care what anyone says this show isn't just great for recent Star Wars it's just great Star Wars period.
If you follow Huyang's line, the lineage goes Ahsoka, to Anakin(chosen one), to Obi-Wan (possibly had a low m count), to Qui-Gon (rebellious by the council's standards), to Dooku(at odds with the Council such as Windu), to Yoda.....who was a powerhouse in a species with routinely high m counts.
@@kazehazeee in the EU(now legends) there was a series of books involving Obi-Wan and his mentorship Qui-Gon and it was mentioned aside from being in love with a another student who was around his age it also mentions that he had a midi-chlorian count that was barely enough to be accepted
In the intro, the part Ahsoka is training, she says Zatoichi. You cut that in the video, but it is in reference to, "Zatoichi The Blind Swordsman." Classic Japanese samurai films.
So here's a fun canon Easter egg: The senator giving Hera a hard time in that meeting was Hamato Xiono, who happens to be the father of Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono, the main character of the Star Wars: Resistance animated series, though as of the time of this episode I don't think Kaz has even been born yet. And you're right, he's definitely one of the people who persistently downplayed the threat of the First Order and characterized the Resistance as dangerous extremists. He didn't even change his tune after they destroyed the Hosnian system
I love that they brought back Yoda's words of The Force resides in every living thing , some are just more sensitive to it. Sabine is the perfect non Force sensitive character to be a Jedi and open up to The Force.
I don't comment often but I just wanted to say I love your reactions. You both work well together and it's always fun watching you. Keep up the good work!
Loved your reactions and this episode and it really reminded me of a live action episode of Rebels and it was so cool to see Ahsoka training Sabine and she was actually smiling and having a little banter with Sabine and Hyuyang like the old Ahsoka btw George Lucas did say in an interview that everyone has the potential to use the force like Ahsoka was saying
I’m an absolute sucker for awesome training scenes, and this might become one of my favorites! Not only does it feel like so many classic samurai films, it also proves that Ahsoka isn’t training Sabine to be a Jedi, but a better version of herself. Still how awesome would it be if Sabine became the first Mandalorian Jedi in nearly a thousand years? As for the Senate committee, as much as I hate the old trope of “there isn’t enough evidence to support your crazy theory”, how many times throughout modern history has this happened, where a majority of government officials either don’t believe or don’t WANT to believe a long believed dead or weakened enemy has come back? Still seeing Jacen talking with Mama Hera about AUNT Sabine made my heart melt! Also, Ahsoka going out into space to fight starfighters with just her lightsabers is exactly the crazy ass thing Anakin would do with Ahsoka if you’ve seen Clone Wars!
Really loved the dogfight scene. Reminded me of the old war movies with the spitfires going at it. Great throwback. Great call out Nikki with the Thrawn comment. I agree as an outsider too. So fun to see how giddy Steven gets with the Star Wars stuff and Nikki just watching him be a little kid again. Great dynamics!
First time watching. You seem a lovely couple and I enjoy both of your reactions. No bullshit geeking out like some other channels. Agree 100% with your views on the show. It’s great. I have a feeling Sabine will discover her Force powers when really put in a life or death situation.
Totally agree these new Sith like mercenaries working for Morgan are super interesting! And i have a feeling the female one whatever her name is will be around for awhile. Because she’s just so creepy looking and good at being bad.
@@roryotoole3279 They may not be familiar with Dark Jedi as they haven't been shown til now in movies or TV. So far, Dark Jedi seems most appropriate to me, as at least one was a Jedi that fell to the dark side.
That intro gave me very strong new hope vibes. Sabine even said a version of Luke’s line about needing to see to fight. I like that Ahsoka is changing the approach she takes with Sabine. She clearly learned from Grogu and the other Mandos she knows. I’m glad she’s not trying to cram her into a box like she did with Grogu. I found it interesting that Sabine’s the one who wants to be a jedi. But Ahsoka’s line I don’t need her to be a jedi. I need her to be herself stuck with me. She just needs her to be a competent warrior and the best version of herself she can be whether she can wield the force or not. I think the most authentic version of herself will involve her using a hybrid of both Mandalorion and jedi skills. I’m becoming more OK with the idea of her being able to wield the force on some level, I just don’t want her to be too OP with it. The space battle battle sequence was also such a good mix of Rebels and Clone Wars banter and all. I love that Filoni answered a lot of the questions we had while also raising several more. Hu Yang’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite droids. He’s so sassy. Next episode is gonna be crazy! I was so glad tto get a glimpse of Jacen. I was hoping we would. I hope he’s force sensitive and that Ezra trains him.
Very cool scene whe ahsoka isin space , did you notice her light sabers when she lit them up in space no fizzle because there's no atmosphere they got that down perfect... Usually light sabers have a constant fizzle garound the Blade ...And she did her Siege of mandalore Swinging move when she went back into the ship just no split kick 😂 I noticed that one ..lol Yeah this is a easy 9 out of 10 for me
Hi you guys!! Subscribed years ago and have been watching you guys since GOT. Just need to tell you how much I have loved you guys reaction through so many shows. Just sayin!!!!!! Love Ashoka!!!
@NikkiStevenReact So I agree it would be weird for Ahsoka not to inform Luke of what’s going on…However I honestly would HATE if they yet again brought Luke into the story. I think that they need to start moving away from Luke’s story and creating their own new original stories going on elsewhere in the timeline or in the galaxy. I honestly would love if they ended up creating a Star Wars series or trilogy of movies telling a completely new story with all new characters and planets. Either wayyyy in the past or future. I think that would end up being a lot more successful for them because Star Wars fans are highly critical especially when it has anything to do with the original trilogy even if it is by association.
Totally agree. I can’t wait for the day we get a Star Wars trilogy set thousands of years away from this timeline. That said, as long as they are in this timeline, things do need to make sense and like Heir to the Empire novel, Luke was an important part of that story along with Leia and Han. They need to be involved with the New Republic waif there’s a new threat in the galaxy.
It's a pleasure watching you guys been watching you for a long time now and I just love you guys positivity because there's so much negativity out there.
It might be kinda interesting if the inquisitor was another youngling coerced into being one, say, a kiddo we saw from the group that Huyang and Ahsoka was with in the CW eps. That might be too pedestrian of a theory, but it would be a surprirse for Ahsoka and Huyang.
11:57 The Midiclorians is what she means with "Talent" I think. One with a high Midiclorian count (like Anakin) doesn't need to train as much to be powerful in the force compared to someone who has a lower midiclorian count. Considering Sabine has a very low Midiclorian count she would need to train a lot to get on the level of a normal jedi knight or maybe even just padawan. Have you seen the Yoda Dagoba force arc in clone wars? I think they also talked about midiclorians in that one too.
Yeah I think you’re right. Or even just force sensitivity in general. Sabine will probably be limited in how far she can progress with her low M count. It doesn’t mean she can’t, it’ll just take a lot more effort. And she’ll probably never be on the same level of someone like Ahsoka herself. But I like that they addressed this question.
In Legends Obi-Wan had an M count to BARELY qualify him to be eligible to train. Churuit in Rogue One had a low M count as well but was VERY much Jedi like in his movements
Hi guys! I've been watching your reaction vidoes since the Game of Thrones days! I think this is first time commenting lol. I'm loving Ahsoka thus far. So good and I think its only going to get better 💜
Sam Witwer is in the credits. He could be just voicing random characters in the series but I hope his casting has huge ramifications. If it's Starkiller, Dave Filoni is going to have to make that character lose his memory or something because he would be too overpowered in this era of Star Wars.
After watching Sabine's training session...I feel like Shin wasn't actually TRYING to kill her in that first light saber battle. I like that training doesn't necessarily "connect" you to the force. Each person needs to find that for themselves. Kind of like learning to ride a bike...you can teach you the mechanics of the bike...but you have to learn the balance for yourself. I like how Ahsoka told her to "start small" in order to try to get to that connection. The planet's "red" trees are reminiscint of the Night Sister's home world which was also really, REALLY Red. Don't forget they actually showed how Canon survived Order 66 in the first episode of Bad Batch too. And SPACE WHALES! I hope they have to be swallowed by one pinocchio/Jonah style in order to get to the other galaxy.
Steven, you're killing me with the text messages... hahahhahahahaa. Have you seen the look of the monitors and computers in this galaxy...hahahhahaa. The way the computers look I'm surprised we haven't seen a rotary phone in these joints. OR the using the very first sell phones where you had to spell out the letters by hitting each number serveral times. hahahahhaa. OR they could use old ass beepers hahahahhahaaa
I’m loving the season so far, this episode was great that being said Ashoka in space suit jumping around was a little much lol even for the animated series
This episode was so short. Listed as 36 and a half minutes but with the SW opening, previously on, and credits it’s only around 26 minutes. Also and I may have said this on an earlier reaction but Marrok could be Luuke Skywalker. In this series Baylan could be a replacement character for Joruus in creating the clone.
Shen and Baylan is super interesting. She is at the right age to be her daughter, my question is obviosuly is she her daughter and whether the answer is yes or not, how long has she been his padawan? Because she is a padawan, she has a padawan braid, which means they are somewhat following the traditional jedi ways.
I would like Din Djarin to make an appearance. NOT BECAUSE OF GROGU (Though Grogu would be a bonus) but Din's Starfighter Gunship would be such a menace coming into the fight. Plus Ahsoka having 2 Mandalorians on her side would be fun to watch.
Grogu: I’m an ex-Jedi survivor of order 66 so avit of trauma, trained by many masters n descended of a race of the must respect Jedi ever Yoda that is strongly talented to the force. Ashoka: I sense alot of fear, n attachment out of him. I refuse to train him. Sabin: I’m a Mandelorian with a temperament problem, problem trusting people, full of regret for creating weapons use to arcade her people n lay waste her planet. Ashoka: Sabin, could become a great Jedi! Grogu: Screw, u all n Luck. I will become a Mandalorian n learn the force on my own, I’m extremely talented after all.
I don’t think Ahsoka officially has met Luke Dave said the show takes place literally right after Din and Ahsoka meet on Morgan’s planet fortress so perhaps they will meet in the episodes in the coming weeks
Shortest episode so far but still a marginal improvement from the previous two thanks to the faster pacing and less dead silence. Enjoyed the early scene when Ahsoka trained Sabine. Her being the worst Jedi candidate according to Huyang is correcting the Mary Sue label from Rey. Better to watch Sabine struggle early on only for her get better as time goes on. The music from Kevin Kiner of Rebels fame is starting to grow on me since I like old Japanese traditional music. Very relaxing. Sabine training felt like a Karate Kid/Cobra Kai scene. More Miyagi-Do from Daniel LaRusso than Johnny Lawrence's style of training. Ahsoka is paying homage to Kurosawa and the many Japanese influences they had on Star Wars. I'm starting to think current Ahsoka is a cross between Mr. Miyagi and Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back. Mr. Miyagi hardly ever raised his voice. She did start showing more emotion in the space battle. More concern. The most Rosario Dawson moment in it hearing more of Rosario's real voice and tone. Great to see Jacen Syndulla and Mon Mothma in this. Mon was in her mid-40s in Andor (5 BBY) which is also when Rebels S1 starts. She's about 59-60 now in Ahsoka's time (11 ABY). It seems from Hera's words that Thrawn is going to be a huge threat. Bigger threat than what Moff Gideon brought. Coolest scene was Ahsoka in that space jumpsuit. It didn't look ridiculous. They pull it off nicely. It could've looked stupid like Moonraker or Leia's Mary Poppins scene in The Last Jedi. I thought seeing those star whales was a visual treat. Reminds me of The Phantom Menace's underwater scenery but the scene looks prettier. When Ahsoka's ship landed in those red-leaved trees, it looked like the start of Star Trek Into Darkness. So Marrok is pronounced Ma-rock? Like saying Morocco without the co. I thought it was Merrick or Meh-rock like I thought it was pronounced Sa-bine but it's Sa-bean. I streamed Dial of Destiny twice yesterday. I still think it's the worst Indy film but I'll download it once the Blu-ray rip is out because I prefer mp4 over mkv and I'm a completist with all my favorite movie franchises. I watched Last Crusade after DoD. Made me realize life is too short. Sallah is in his mid-40s in Crusade. Then 34 years passed and he's a grandfather. I can tell a Shin vs. Morgan duel is brewing. Shin says sarcastically, "Morgan, congratulations. You almost got them." There's going to be a fight between these two. Overall, I thought Ep 3 is a little better. Not leaps better but it's progressing enough nicely. The special effects in this are spectacular. It looks better than the OT SEs, Prequels, Sequels, and way better than The Flash. Ep 3 was short and that's probably the biggest complaint and not much of Baylan in this but you can't please them all. If it's too long, it's boring. If Ahsoka talks too much, she's annoying. If she doesn't say much, she's boring. Everyone will whine about everything. I'm starting to dig Hera more and more. I liked her in Rebels from the 10 episodes I saw from it. We forget Mary and Rosario already worked together in Death Proof (2007). I've looped the first two episodes of Ahsoka like 2-3x last night after seeing them twice and this series is slowly growing on me. I'll loop Ep 3 a few more times. I'm thinking because I have nothing else to watch that I'm getting more invested into these characters. It's still not as good as The Mandalorian S1/S2 and Andor yet but I can see Ahsoka being at least better than Obi-Wan and is already better than The Book of Boba Fett. At least Ahsoka stays focused on the titular character and the supporting ones in Rebels a majority of the time which Obi-Wan failed to do last year half the time. My Weekly Ashoka Character Favorites 1. Ahsoka Tano 2. Shin Hati 3. Baylan Skoll 4. Hera Syndulla 5. Sabine Wren 6. Morgan Elsbeth 7. Huyang 8. Chopper 9. Marrok 10. Mon Mothma My Favorite Disney+ Star Wars 1. The Mandalorian 2. Andor 3. Ahsoka (moves up one spot) 4. Obi-Wan Kenobi 5. The Book of Boba Fett Mando S2 > Mando S1 > Andor S1 > Mando S3 > Ahsoka > Obi-Wan > TBoBF It's hard for me to compare The Mandalorian vs. Andor. I believe Andor is written better but it's a very slow burn and perhaps the characters are not as charismatic as the ones from Mando. Andor only has 12 episodes while Mando has 24 and had 16 after S2. Andor has the advantage of having less bad episodes. It's not guaranteed Andor S2 (final season) will be good or not or end up disappointing like Mando S3. I remember enjoying Agent Carter S1 but hating S2.
There is actually a video on TH-cam it’s a voiced comic video type format. And it shows the introduction of Thrawn to the empire and they did such a good job not sure if any of y’all have read the comics, books, or seen that video but definitely recommend. A good Thrawn comic movie
I think the episodes that we have seen so far of Ahsoka take place in between her two appearances in the Mandalorian and BOBFF. Here she is sad about something that's happened before but seems to be working her way through it already. When we see her in BOBF she seems happier and in a better place. She may not have met Luke yet at this point in the show but since she's hanging out in Home One and the rebel fleet perhaps she will run into him. It might even be something held over for next season.
I forget the green Jedi name from clone wars that use to run around with Ashoka I think it's her outfit looks almost exact and she did have double sabers
every shot of Shin in this episode, from the front, with that makeup and that hair, makes me think of an even evil-er Finale from Ready Player One. like, pretty much the only difference between Hannah John-Kamen and Ivana Sakhno here, is the white hair. .....and about 5 cm height... but mostly that hair.
Great reaction guys, like always this show is getting better and better Filoni did a great job, watching the callbacks and references are so good, and the music score is on point, i have a theory about who Marrok could be the best one is that he is a Darth Vader's secret apprentice - a canon version of Starkiller. Other people say that he could be Ezra himself. Lets wait to see, Keep up the amazing work.
@@shabanoozytv8265 lol ...didnt you hear that the force is ... pfff... femaleeeeeeee... kathleen K... ruined a franchise becasue of her Lore hatred.... and the unwillingness or capability to write GOOD female characters
Not too sure why the kid hasn't got more traits from the mother. The New Republic hasn't changed, so full of hubris. I believe the Empire loyalists had their fingers crossed when they took the oath to the republic.
@@NikkiStevenReact very true! For this story plot it wouldn't make sense at all, more along the lines of a hypothetical scenario, but maybe Admiral Thrawn will get away at the end which would become a problem for the entire Galaxy
The most accurate statement of any Star Wars related-ish movie was Space Balls...when Dark Helmet said, "Good will always lose, because Good is DUMB." LOL Well you saw it in action with the New Republic Senate idiots. How else did they miss a huge PLANET TURNED LASER CANNON "Star Killer" Planet that one shotted the New Republic homewords AND the entire Fleet?! Yeah, still furious about that crap storyline...
My theory is Marrok is Snoke. Like prime Snoke, recently cloned, still no scars and just adjusting to being alive, like the last survivor of Gideon's cloning plan.
Ashoka doesn't have hair, her Montrals are like horns, and her Lekku, are fleshy prehensile tentacle like appendages. Kanan wasn't the leader of Spectre, Hara was. Kanan was 2nd in command.
and that would would be cool too... new interesting characters are always exciting. people are still going to run wild with theories and i love all the wacky ones.
Sabine's issue is she's too eager, like Ahsoka once was, she's not giving herself the time to just breathe deeply, to meditate and feel the world around her, feel each breath as it comes and goes, developing her connection to the Force, she wants to please Ahsoka by getting results quickly rather than taking the time to actually feel the Force and learn to wield it, even Dark Side users have to spend time meditating except for Sith who hone in on their emotions, dark/fallen jedi like Baylon and Shin probably use a blend of Jedi and Sith teachings, they still let themselves feel the Force but try to bend it to their will without giving in to the Dark Side's corrupting influence which the Sith welcome and allow to happen
Love the series so far. I'm gonna go with 2 possibilities who Marrok could be, either star killer or maybe bariss??? Love ray Stevenson character and his apprentice. I'm just having fun with the show and can't wait for more. I personally think and feel that it's pacing just fine.
I've said before, but wow, we really haven't seen shit as far as the trailers have shown. Most of the footage in the trailers has already happened as of Episode 3, except the quick scene of Thrawn and the fight with Baylon. I'm pretty sure the forest fight will happen next episode, which means we have about 4 1/2 or so episodes of footage that we haven't seen any of. So far so good, the series so far is very linear and so far avoiding filler. They're not wasting anytime, and doing a good job of building up mystery and intrigue and we still haven't even seen Thrawn yet. Plus if certain cameo rumors are true, we may be in for a real treat. My biggest mystery so far is who is Marrok? The "As you wish" was a major Vader Nod. I'm betting he's either StarKiller OR,.....and I know this is crazy..but a possible clone of Anakin Skywalker, who wasn't quite as powerful as the original. Something Paplpatine hid from Vader and was going to be used to replace Vader, until The Emperor became aware of Luke. I know that sounds wonky, but Palpatine was clearly interested in cloning, AND HE, not Vader created the entire concept of the Inquisitors, so ultimately that entire project was his. It would be quite the shock to see this IMO, but fans such as I would LOVE it. That being said,...my next choice is Ezra, though I agree that it wouldn't really make any sense. If not any of them, just some cool random dude.
luke is busy rebuilding the order, he doesn't need to know. not to mention they haven't confirmed anything yet so i don't see why they would tell him anything right now
Eyes up, 6 trash can jalopies coming in fast. Is that? Is that a modified Rapier from Wing Commander that Mark Hamil's Character flew? That's no space station, it's a Stargate.

Ahsoka in space is the Snips we know from the Clone Wars.
Haven’t seen every episode of Clone Wars so don’t remember that. And it’s much cooler idea in live action.
Yup! I thought I remembered Ahsoka a few times went outer space to fight with her lightsabers
They were trying to shoot Ahsoka and not the ship. Nice distraction.
@Indiana_Minotaur From what I remember, there was a scene where Ahsoka, Anakin, and Captain Rex, along with some tanks attacking Cad Bane's ship in space.
When she went out I thought she was gonna run across ships but that was inside the atmosphere I guess. Race you to the ground. That was cool AF!
What I love about the Rebels crew is that they're like the original Star Wars crew but super rough around the edges; like sibling energy.
It should be characters from original trilogy that should be here, honestly what is they difference between rebels crew and them
1000% agree, Ray Stevenson (RIP) looks like absolute perfection in this role. I'm also getting a father/daughter "vibe" from Baylan and Shin. If not actual then metaphorical. It's just the body language and subtext in the way Shin keeps looking at Baylan whenever they stand next to each other and she's always asking for guidance. And the way Baylan explains things simply and calmly is like an old patient dad. It's not something you would expect from the bad guys. And I much like the snarky dialogue between Shin and Morgan, showing that there's a much different relationship going on there. The antagonists in this series have a lot of strong characterization. I don't care what other Star Wars fans may say, I'm enjoying this show.
So am I. And I agree.
Life long Star Wars fan here and I absolutely agree
If it's true, I wonder if she knows.
"Shin, I am your father."
I agree. I've seen people calling this Female Wars and woke but I'm not picking up on any of that. And that's coming from a fan who has been disenfranchised with Star Wars because it has become woke with no good characters and relevant storytelling. But ALL of the female characters in this have experience and are amazing characters in their own right. Including Shin who we've just been introduced to.
There are things that aren't perfect like the getting stabbed by a lightsaber and pulling through like you stubbed your toe is annoying but THIS is Star Wars. I don't care what anyone says this show isn't just great for recent Star Wars it's just great Star Wars period.
If you follow Huyang's line, the lineage goes Ahsoka, to Anakin(chosen one), to Obi-Wan (possibly had a low m count), to Qui-Gon (rebellious by the council's standards), to Dooku(at odds with the Council such as Windu), to Yoda.....who was a powerhouse in a species with routinely high m counts.
what novel or movie mentioned about Obi-Wan had low midichlorian? genuinely asking

Nikki is right. Marrok's character design looks like something out of Darksouls and Elden Ring. It's great.
@@roryotoole3279 huh?
Wrong comment
6:40
Sabine: "I can't see, how am I supposed to fight?"
Kanan's Force Ghost: "Was I a JOKE to you?!"
So here's a fun canon Easter egg: The senator giving Hera a hard time in that meeting was Hamato Xiono, who happens to be the father of Kazuda "Kaz" Xiono, the main character of the Star Wars: Resistance animated series, though as of the time of this episode I don't think Kaz has even been born yet.

I REALLY dig Ahsoka's space suit. Practical and stylish!
How in the Force does she put the helmet on???
That looks rather complicated with her montral and lekku.
Oh ffs
I think since every episode so far I’ve been dying for more it is a great sign for whats ahead.
Loved your reactions and this episode and it really reminded me of a live action episode of Rebels and it was so cool to see Ahsoka training Sabine and she was actually smiling and having a little banter with Sabine and Hyuyang like the old Ahsoka btw George Lucas did say in an interview that everyone has the potential to use the force like Ahsoka was saying
Baylan’s outfit and bearing reminds me a lot of Dooku.
This show is such a blast. The Star Wars fanbase can be tough sometimes, but I'm really enjoying the ride here. Loved seeing your reactions as always.
I’m an absolute sucker for awesome training scenes, and this might become one of my favorites! Not only does it feel like so many classic samurai films, it also proves that Ahsoka isn’t training Sabine to be a Jedi, but a better version of herself.

Still seeing Jacen talking with Mama Hera about AUNT Sabine made my heart melt!
Also, Ahsoka going out into space to fight starfighters with just her lightsabers is exactly the crazy ass thing Anakin would do with Ahsoka if you’ve seen Clone Wars!
Another great reaction! Love the space combat in this episode; particularly how the fighters are basically modeled after World War II planes.
it wouldn't be star wars without a space battle. but it has to be fresh and different from what we've already seen. i think filoni's managed to do it.
Really loved the dogfight scene. Reminded me of the old war movies with the spitfires going at it. Great throwback. Great call out Nikki with the Thrawn comment. I agree as an outsider too.

Shin Hati
How are they Sith like? Just because they are the enemy and have a lightsaber does not make them sith or even sith-like.

She just needs her to be a competent warrior and the best version of herself she can be whether she can wield the force or not. I think the most authentic version of herself will involve her using a hybrid of both Mandalorion and jedi skills. I’m becoming more OK with the idea of her being able to wield the force on some level, I just don’t want her to be too OP with it. The space battle battle sequence was also such a good mix of Rebels and Clone Wars banter and all. I love that Filoni answered a lot of the questions we had while also raising several more. Hu Yang’s rapidly becoming one of my favorite droids. He’s so sassy. Next episode is gonna be crazy! I was so glad tto get a glimpse of Jacen. I was hoping we would. I hope he’s force sensitive and that Ezra trains him.
Sabine for Mandalore
Regarding the Eye of Sion: I think in the old republic there was a Sith called Darth Sion who was trained by Darth Traya, I believe.
Very cool scene whe ahsoka isin space , did you notice her light sabers when she lit them up in space no fizzle because there's no atmosphere they got that down perfect... Usually light sabers have a constant fizzle garound the Blade ...And she did her Siege of mandalore Swinging move when she went back into the ship just no split kick 😂 I noticed that one ..lol Yeah this is a easy 9 out of 10 for me
Where did the gravity come from to keep her standing on the ship?
@@M1cha3lP She was wearing magnetic boots.
Ever notice how much Jedis (and former Jedis) just stand still a lot? Baylan has it nailed.
Hi you guys!! Subscribed years ago and have been watching you guys since GOT. Just need to tell you how much I have loved you guys reaction through so many shows. Just sayin!!!!!! Love Ashoka!!!
@NikkiStevenReact So I agree it would be weird for Ahsoka not to inform Luke of what’s going on…However I honestly would HATE if they yet again brought Luke into the story. I think that they need to start moving away from Luke’s story and creating their own new original stories going on elsewhere in the timeline or in the galaxy.
I honestly would love if they ended up creating a Star Wars series or trilogy of movies telling a completely new story with all new characters and planets. Either wayyyy in the past or future.
I think that would end up being a lot more successful for them because Star Wars fans are highly critical especially when it has anything to do with the original trilogy even if it is by association.
Totally agree. I can’t wait for the day we get a Star Wars trilogy set thousands of years away from this timeline. That said, as long as they are in this timeline, things do need to make sense and like Heir to the Empire novel, Luke was an important part of that story along with Leia and Han. They need to be involved with the New Republic waif there’s a new threat in the galaxy.
@@NikkiStevenReactindeed Luke,Leia and han are legends and basically star wars beginning
Agree 100%. Though a darth bane trilogy (made well!) would be wicked.
Time for the old republic
It's a pleasure watching you guys been watching you for a long time now and I just love you guys positivity because there's so much negativity out there.
Pure clone wars that fight, Ashoka vs ships, Anakin must be proud.
Hera's son, space Ahsoka, the purgs man the vibes!! and when they talked about the faster hyperdrive I immediately thought of spaceballs
Mon Mothma has aged remarkably well in the 25ish(?) years since the events of Andor. Must be her stress-free job.
Luke: With the blast shield down I can't even see. How am I supposed to fight? Obi-wan: Your eyes can decieve you. Don't trust them.
It might be kinda interesting if the inquisitor was another youngling coerced into being one, say, a kiddo we saw from the group that Huyang and Ahsoka was with in the CW eps. That might be too pedestrian of a theory, but it would be a surprirse for Ahsoka and Huyang.
11:57 The Midiclorians is what she means with "Talent" I think. One with a high Midiclorian count (like Anakin) doesn't need to train as much to be powerful in the force compared to someone who has a lower midiclorian count. Considering Sabine has a very low Midiclorian count she would need to train a lot to get on the level of a normal jedi knight or maybe even just padawan. Have you seen the Yoda Dagoba force arc in clone wars? I think they also talked about midiclorians in that one too.
Yeah I think you’re right. Or even just force sensitivity in general. Sabine will probably be limited in how far she can progress with her low M count. It doesn’t mean she can’t, it’ll just take a lot more effort. And she’ll probably never be on the same level of someone like Ahsoka herself. But I like that they addressed this question.
In Legends Obi-Wan had an M count to BARELY qualify him to be eligible to train. Churuit in Rogue One had a low M count as well but was VERY much Jedi like in his movements
Stop.
Hi guys! I've been watching your reaction vidoes since the Game of Thrones days! I think this is first time commenting lol.
I'm loving Ahsoka thus far. So good and I think its only going to get better 💜
Sam Witwer is in the credits. He could be just voicing random characters in the series but I hope his casting has huge ramifications. If it's Starkiller, Dave Filoni is going to have to make that character lose his memory or something because he would be too overpowered in this era of Star Wars.
After watching Sabine's training session...I feel like Shin wasn't actually TRYING to kill her in that first light saber battle.
I like that training doesn't necessarily "connect" you to the force. Each person needs to find that for themselves. Kind of like learning to ride a bike...you can teach you the mechanics of the bike...but you have to learn the balance for yourself. I like how Ahsoka told her to "start small" in order to try to get to that connection.
The planet's "red" trees are reminiscint of the Night Sister's home world which was also really, REALLY Red.
Don't forget they actually showed how Canon survived Order 66 in the first episode of Bad Batch too.
And SPACE WHALES! I hope they have to be swallowed by one pinocchio/Jonah style in order to get to the other galaxy.
Steven, you're killing me with the text messages... hahahhahahahaa. Have you seen the look of the monitors and computers in this galaxy...hahahhahaa. The way the computers look I'm surprised we haven't seen a rotary phone in these joints. OR the using the very first sell phones where you had to spell out the letters by hitting each number serveral times. hahahahhaa. OR they could use old ass beepers hahahahhahaaa
The score went hard in this episode.
I’m loving the season so far, this episode was great that being said Ashoka in space suit jumping around was a little much lol even for the animated series
Space suit light saber Ahsoka 😍😍😍
This episode was so short. Listed as 36 and a half minutes but with the SW opening, previously on, and credits it’s only around 26 minutes.
Also and I may have said this on an earlier reaction but Marrok could be Luuke Skywalker. In this series Baylan could be a replacement character for Joruus in creating the clone.
Shen and Baylan is super interesting. She is at the right age to be her daughter, my question is obviosuly is she her daughter and whether the answer is yes or not, how long has she been his padawan? Because she is a padawan, she has a padawan braid, which means they are somewhat following the traditional jedi ways.
I read a theory where they're saying Marrok could be a clone of Luke from his severed hand.
We will support you all. Keep working hard.
Such a great show, this could reach mando 2 levels
I would like Din Djarin to make an appearance. NOT BECAUSE OF GROGU (Though Grogu would be a bonus) but Din's Starfighter Gunship would be such a menace coming into the fight. Plus Ahsoka having 2 Mandalorians on her side would be fun to watch.
Senator Xiono is the father Kazuno Xiono, the main character of Star Wars Resistence.
Maybe I'm wrong but Sabine saber fight in the 1st episode kind of reminds me of Qui Gon saber style the way she holds and swings the saber
"She's behind you". And all British viewers shouted out "Oh No she isn't!" 🤣🤣
Grogu: I’m an ex-Jedi survivor of order 66 so avit of trauma, trained by many masters n descended of a race of the must respect Jedi ever Yoda that is strongly talented to the force.
Ashoka: I sense alot of fear, n attachment out of him. I refuse to train him.
Sabin: I’m a Mandelorian with a temperament problem, problem trusting people, full of regret for creating weapons use to arcade her people n lay waste her planet.
Ashoka: Sabin, could become a great Jedi!
Grogu: Screw, u all n Luck. I will become a Mandalorian n learn the force on my own, I’m extremely talented after all.
Can everyone please remember that Ahsoka specifically said she's NOT training Sabine to be a Jedi? Details are important.
"A Knight from Dark Souls" 😂 you now automatically have my undying respect & admiration.
I don’t think Ahsoka officially has met Luke Dave said the show takes place literally right after Din and Ahsoka meet on Morgan’s planet fortress so perhaps they will meet in the episodes in the coming weeks
Shortest episode so far but still a marginal improvement from the previous two thanks to the faster pacing and less dead silence. Enjoyed the early scene when Ahsoka trained Sabine. Her being the worst Jedi candidate according to Huyang is correcting the Mary Sue label from Rey. Better to watch Sabine struggle early on only for her get better as time goes on.
The music from Kevin Kiner of Rebels fame is starting to grow on me since I like old Japanese traditional music. Very relaxing. Sabine training felt like a Karate Kid/Cobra Kai scene. More Miyagi-Do from Daniel LaRusso than Johnny Lawrence's style of training. Ahsoka is paying homage to Kurosawa and the many Japanese influences they had on Star Wars.
I'm starting to think current Ahsoka is a cross between Mr. Miyagi and Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back. Mr. Miyagi hardly ever raised his voice. She did start showing more emotion in the space battle. More concern. The most Rosario Dawson moment in it hearing more of Rosario's real voice and tone. Great to see Jacen Syndulla and Mon Mothma in this.
Mon was in her mid-40s in Andor (5 BBY) which is also when Rebels S1 starts. She's about 59-60 now in Ahsoka's time (11 ABY). It seems from Hera's words that Thrawn is going to be a huge threat. Bigger threat than what Moff Gideon brought. Coolest scene was Ahsoka in that space jumpsuit. It didn't look ridiculous. They pull it off nicely. It could've looked stupid like Moonraker or Leia's Mary Poppins scene in The Last Jedi.
I thought seeing those star whales was a visual treat. Reminds me of The Phantom Menace's underwater scenery but the scene looks prettier. When Ahsoka's ship landed in those red-leaved trees, it looked like the start of Star Trek Into Darkness. So Marrok is pronounced Ma-rock? Like saying Morocco without the co. I thought it was Merrick or Meh-rock like I thought it was pronounced Sa-bine but it's Sa-bean.
I streamed Dial of Destiny twice yesterday. I still think it's the worst Indy film but I'll download it once the Blu-ray rip is out because I prefer mp4 over mkv and I'm a completist with all my favorite movie franchises. I watched Last Crusade after DoD. Made me realize life is too short. Sallah is in his mid-40s in Crusade. Then 34 years passed and he's a grandfather.
I can tell a Shin vs. Morgan duel is brewing. Shin says sarcastically, "Morgan, congratulations. You almost got them." There's going to be a fight between these two. Overall, I thought Ep 3 is a little better. Not leaps better but it's progressing enough nicely. The special effects in this are spectacular. It looks better than the OT SEs, Prequels, Sequels, and way better than The Flash.
Ep 3 was short and that's probably the biggest complaint and not much of Baylan in this but you can't please them all. If it's too long, it's boring. If Ahsoka talks too much, she's annoying. If she doesn't say much, she's boring. Everyone will whine about everything. I'm starting to dig Hera more and more. I liked her in Rebels from the 10 episodes I saw from it. We forget Mary and Rosario already worked together in Death Proof (2007).
I've looped the first two episodes of Ahsoka like 2-3x last night after seeing them twice and this series is slowly growing on me. I'll loop Ep 3 a few more times. I'm thinking because I have nothing else to watch that I'm getting more invested into these characters. It's still not as good as The Mandalorian S1/S2 and Andor yet but I can see Ahsoka being at least better than Obi-Wan and is already better than The Book of Boba Fett.
At least Ahsoka stays focused on the titular character and the supporting ones in Rebels a majority of the time which Obi-Wan failed to do last year half the time.

My Favorite Disney+ Star Wars
1. The Mandalorian
2. Andor
3. Ahsoka (moves up one spot)
4. Obi-Wan Kenobi
5. The Book of Boba Fett
Mando S2 > Mando S1 > Andor S1 > Mando S3 > Ahsoka > Obi-Wan > TBoBF
It's hard for me to compare The Mandalorian vs. Andor. I believe Andor is written better but it's a very slow burn and perhaps the characters are not as charismatic as the ones from Mando.
Andor only has 12 episodes while Mando has 24 and had 16 after S2. Andor has the advantage of having less bad episodes. It's not guaranteed Andor S2 (final season) will be good or not or end up disappointing like Mando S3. I remember enjoying Agent Carter S1 but hating S2.
Longest TH-cam comment ever. 🎉
Ahsoka on her space ship defending the ship and her moves reminds me of what Rey did in Rise of Skywalker and Kylo Ren's ship.
Where did the gravity come from to keep her standing on the ship?
@@M1cha3lP
no gravity, I assume in such tech-advanced universe every space suit is equipped with mag (magnetic) boots
I worked on Ahsoka , the inquisiter is not Starkiller .. and Ray Stevenson was such a cool guy.. R.I.P. brother ..
Obi-won didn't have a great natural ability with the force but is a good example of how training and study made him a good force user.
There is actually a video on TH-cam it’s a voiced comic video type format. And it shows the introduction of Thrawn to the empire and they did such a good job not sure if any of y’all have read the comics, books, or seen that video but definitely recommend. A good Thrawn comic movie
I think the episodes that we have seen so far of Ahsoka take place in between her two appearances in the Mandalorian and BOBFF.
Here she is sad about something that's happened before but seems to be working her way through it already.
When we see her in BOBF she seems happier and in a better place.
She may not have met Luke yet at this point in the show but since she's hanging out in Home One and the rebel fleet perhaps she will run into him. It might even be something held over for next season.
I forget the green Jedi name from clone wars that use to run around with Ashoka I think it's her outfit looks almost exact and she did have double sabers
every shot of Shin in this episode, from the front, with that makeup and that hair, makes me think of an even evil-er Finale from Ready Player One.
like, pretty much the only difference between Hannah John-Kamen and Ivana Sakhno here, is the white hair.
.....and about 5 cm height... but mostly that hair.
This was a really good episode, best so far. It's a shame it was so bloody short.
Great reaction guys, like always this show is getting better and better Filoni did a great job, watching the callbacks and references are so good, and the music score is on point, i have a theory about who Marrok could be the best one is that he is a Darth Vader's secret apprentice - a canon version of Starkiller. Other people say that he could be Ezra himself. Lets wait to see, Keep up the amazing work.
I find it funny that both Ahsoka and Starkiller both duel wield lightsabers lol
It sounds like David Tennant is having a lot of fun!
Great episode, great reaction! 😊
Really really enjoying this series so far, can’t wait for more. Hera, Sabine and Ahsoka are queens.
Unfortunately, Disney Starwars only consists of Queens...

@@shabanoozytv8265 lol ...didnt you hear that the force is ... pfff... femaleeeeeeee... kathleen K... ruined a franchise becasue of her Lore hatred.... and the unwillingness or capability to write GOOD female characters
Not too sure why the kid hasn't got more traits from the mother. The New Republic hasn't changed, so full of hubris. I believe the Empire loyalists had their fingers crossed when they took the oath to the republic.
Imagine Luke, Grogu, Mando go aid Ashoka that would be Overkill
Possibly overkill but wouldn’t make sense if no one else is helping?
@@NikkiStevenReact very true! For this story plot it wouldn't make sense at all, more along the lines of a hypothetical scenario, but maybe Admiral Thrawn will get away at the end which would become a problem for the entire Galaxy
The most accurate statement of any Star Wars related-ish movie was Space Balls...when Dark Helmet said, "Good will always lose, because Good is DUMB." LOL Well you saw it in action with the New Republic Senate idiots. How else did they miss a huge PLANET TURNED LASER CANNON "Star Killer" Planet that one shotted the New Republic homewords AND the entire Fleet?! Yeah, still furious about that crap storyline...
I hope the little Loth cat is ok. How dare they leave us hanging. lol
I too try to use the force. Especially after dreams where I use telekinesis.
My theory is Marrok is Snoke. Like prime Snoke, recently cloned, still no scars and just adjusting to being alive, like the last survivor of Gideon's cloning plan.
Bit of a stretch.
Droids have no filter. Like kids 😂
I think most WANT to forget Midichlorians Steve 😂
Now that I look at him all in black he would've been a perfect old man Batman from the future 👌🏼
Lots of speculation chatter is saying that the inquisitor is possibly Barriss Offee.
Dude, that dark Jedi apprentice must be related to Golam.
Ashoka doesn't have hair, her Montrals are like horns, and her Lekku, are fleshy prehensile tentacle like appendages.
Kanan wasn't the leader of Spectre, Hara was. Kanan was 2nd in command.
Crazy theory: he's just Marrok.
and that would would be cool too... new interesting characters are always exciting. people are still going to run wild with theories and i love all the wacky ones.
Sabine's issue is she's too eager, like Ahsoka once was, she's not giving herself the time to just breathe deeply, to meditate and feel the world around her, feel each breath as it comes and goes, developing her connection to the Force, she wants to please Ahsoka by getting results quickly rather than taking the time to actually feel the Force and learn to wield it, even Dark Side users have to spend time meditating except for Sith who hone in on their emotions, dark/fallen jedi like Baylon and Shin probably use a blend of Jedi and Sith teachings, they still let themselves feel the Force but try to bend it to their will without giving in to the Dark Side's corrupting influence which the Sith welcome and allow to happen
Love the series so far. I'm gonna go with 2 possibilities who Marrok could be, either star killer or maybe bariss??? Love ray Stevenson character and his apprentice. I'm just having fun with the show and can't wait for more. I personally think and feel that it's pacing just fine.
On a related Ray Stevenson note, I really hope you guys will check out "Rome" someday. I love him in that!
Chopper is my favorite droid this far ❤
Huyang can’t tell a lie it’s simply not in his programming
Marrok is Kanan Jarrus. No body, no death. Me being hopeful it's him or some semblance of him.
I'm in love with Sabine Wren lol
I really hope we don't have to wait to long for Thrawn. Episode 5 is suppose to be over 50 minutes, hopefully that will be the reveal.
I've said before, but wow, we really haven't seen shit as far as the trailers have shown. Most of the footage in the trailers has already happened as of Episode 3, except the quick scene of Thrawn and the fight with Baylon. I'm pretty sure the forest fight will happen next episode, which means we have about 4 1/2 or so episodes of footage that we haven't seen any of.
So far so good, the series so far is very linear and so far avoiding filler. They're not wasting anytime, and doing a good job of building up mystery and intrigue and we still haven't even seen Thrawn yet. Plus if certain cameo rumors are true, we may be in for a real treat.
My biggest mystery so far is who is Marrok? The "As you wish" was a major Vader Nod. I'm betting he's either StarKiller OR,.....and I know this is crazy..but a possible clone of Anakin Skywalker, who wasn't quite as powerful as the original. Something Paplpatine hid from Vader and was going to be used to replace Vader, until The Emperor became aware of Luke.
I know that sounds wonky, but Palpatine was clearly interested in cloning, AND HE, not Vader created the entire concept of the Inquisitors, so ultimately that entire project was his. It would be quite the shock to see this IMO, but fans such as I would LOVE it. That being said,...my next choice is Ezra, though I agree that it wouldn't really make any sense.
If not any of them, just some cool random dude.
I have interesting theory. How about Merrick? being a clone of Obi-wan considering the actor's wife is Hera.
Steve seems like an awesome husband to have, you guys have insane chemistry and share some great nerdy passions!
It wouldn't be star killer because star killer is dead..... it would be a clone of him Like in the second game
luke is busy rebuilding the order, he doesn't need to know. not to mention they haven't confirmed anything yet so i don't see why they would tell him anything right now
He’s responsible for flipping Vader and helping put an end to the empire. If there’s a new empire level threat of course you reach out to him
The inquisitor is star killer, it would be nice
Eyes up, 6 trash can jalopies coming in fast. Is that? Is that a modified Rapier from Wing Commander that Mark Hamil's Character flew? That's no space station, it's a Stargate.
if only in the final shot of the teacup, there was a slight ripple ala Jurassic park.
Rebels where bound to fail to began with
Pretty much on the same page as Nikki. Casual fan, don't mind some info. But I wanna find out as the show tells me
