We had plenty of "It's a fish" from Jen over time. I wish we'd get a "it's a whale" from Holden whenever Purgills are shown 😅
The fact you dressed your baby up like Vegeta for this episode where Ahsoka also looks like she's dressed as Vegeta 😂 Love the coincidence.
As this was a short episode I have to admit I loved it so much, I normally hate short eps but this really kept my attention
I thought at first we were gonna get a filler episode, and while it was more of a "bridge" episode, it was fast paced and a ton of fun and kept the story moving along, and i loved it!
With only 8 episodes in the series would be weird to have filler episodes. And most "filler" episodes we've had in the past weren't filler either. Filler has just lost all meaning because people keep using it incorrectly.
@@unincognito3689 I mean Mandalorian S3E6 was a real filler episode...
@@crekone92 Nope, isn't what filler means. And if you're gonna argue it didn't further the story. It did.
@@unincognito3689 It did further the story in the last 5 minutes. But the rest I think wasn't good besides a few scenes.
@@crekone92 Sure, but whether u think something is good or not doesn't make it "filler".
I'm loving the Sabine stuff honestly. I've mentioned in previous videos that Sabine was my favorite character in Rebels and I really enjoyed the training scenes. We got some training content from Tales of a Jedi which was fantastic but it's nice to see more training. I feel like we don't get to see a lot of it. I think the fanbase overall is enjoying this show a lot, I know I am!
Ditto! I absolutely loved Sabine in rebels, easily my favorite character.
She is nailing Sabine's wit and attitude, she had me from the first scene "yeah well I got a new order for you... get lost"
I'm liking her a lot and I hated pretty much all of Rebels! Didn't care for any of the characters never cared for Ahsoka nor do I care for her now, but Sabine I'm actually loving and Baylon & Shin are my favorite of the show so far.
@@coreymoore2719 that’s when I knew this was the Sabine we all know.
@@alexanderthegreat5649 I’m glad that you are starting to like her now! She’s actually a pretty interesting character 🫶
Now all I can imagine is Holden watching the Spider-Man movies while holding Hero and "swinging" him back & forth during Spidey's web treks thru New York City. Ha
Aside from the usual suspects who you expect to dislike it, I feel like a majority of the fan base is actually excited about this show. It’s really got the soul of Star Wars and George Lucas in it, and a lot of the discussion is about things in the show and what’s to come, rather than what’s wrong with it, which is making me very happy! So happy we’re getting some great Star Wars again.
That’s the thing. The majority has no real issues with Ahsoka series so far. It’s the loud minority that continues to be extremely toxic rants. More fans need to share their positivity.
To me, Ahsoka has experienced the brutal consequences of life, war, betrayal and death. She lost her faith in the Jedi Council, lost her Master/best friend, the betrayal of the clones, fought the Empire, faced Inquisitors and Vader, etc. That life leaves scars but the fact Ahsoka continues on is a testament to her character.
Sabine isn’t a teenager anymore but still Mandalorian. That pretty much explains why the way she acts.
@@TheBongReyes exactly, the usual suspects are just looking for excuses to hate it. the whole "girlboss" critique is so dumb cus its a rebels sequel and the male leads of rebels are either dead, off in bum fuck nowhere or helping the republic. It's also revealed which fans that disliked the previous shows just disliked the bad content and which are actual sexists based on their reaction to this show
@@TheBongReyes Ahsoka. *Ashley Eckstein's interpretation of Ahsoka and the writing of her character and pacing of the episodes in CW and Rebels. Fixed it for you. That being said, the show is fine and the actresses can't be faulted skill wise, they were directed this way without Filoni laying out the nuances of the characters for them.
I’m enjoying the show very much! This is the first Star Wars show that is giving me all of the classic Star Wars elements in one place. Compared to other Disney+ shows (Star Wars or Marvel) this is the first time I feel satisfied with the episodes instead of just watching and waiting for a payoff at the very end of the season. It feels like I’m watching episodes of a tv series instead of watching parts of a longer movie. It’s ironic I say that because I feel like this has been more cinematic overall.
I agree and i've said it many times as well. Even though i like most of the other shows except BoBF but this is the first time they managed to capture that classic Star Wars feeling. It felt like i was watching a prequel or original Star Wars movie. I did not go into the show with either low or high expectations but i'm very happy how it turned out.
I dunno, I was really happy with Andor too. Din Jarin from the Mandalorian is also a great character. I'm really upset they butchered Boba Fett though. Waay too chatty for my liking. He lost a lot of his mystique for me. But I really do love this series! And it doesn't hurt that Sabine is hot af (there's my shallow comment for the day)
Literally, everyone she’s ever known as either died and/or betrayed her, so it makes sense for her to act the way she’s been acting. She gave everything to the Jedi, Anakin and the clones. Each of them tried to kill her in the end and the only one who told her the truth was her enemy, Maul.
Pretty spot on. The only person in her life still alive that she was close to in her childhood is Rex. All of her other friends and people she considered family from that time are dead. Add that on to the fact that she has spent most of her life fighting wars in some form or another, and a large chunk of her life has been spent alone and in hiding. It's completely reasonable for a person who has experienced these things to be distant and even a little jaded.
@@JessAnderson1988 it would have been weird if Ashoka acted care free or bubbly like in the clone wars after that much trauma. Even the way she holds herself is reserved and cautious. Rosario is doing wonderful portraying her. Yoda and Kanobi had time and solitude to confront their feelings, Ashoka had the next battle.
This was my favorite episode so far. Unlike Holden I can't get enough of the Sabine story arc. She was a favorite of mine from Rebels.
Grogu saw the Purgle in hyperspace in season 3 of The Mandalorian. Din was sleeping and missed it.
Ahsoka is in her mid 40's during this time period. She was 19/20 yrs old at the end of Clone Wars. She should be stoic by now.
JACEN is a name from Star Wars Legends books. Jacen Solo, who was Darth Caedus. Twin sister Jaina Solo who was a Jedi.
I'd tamp down on the Marrok (masked force user) theories. I'm afraid to have unattainable expectations. I imagine he's just a formidable, disposable bad guy for our heroes as they work up to Baylan (Ray Stevenson).
Yeah I feel there is too much hype on this topic. Just like the "who saved Grogu" controversy. Turned out to just be a really cool but obscure fan call back, not really anyone spectacular.
Ezra makes no sense.
Barris would create too much distraction from the main story line, deserves it's own media.
My guess is Petro. Just another fallen Padawan/youngling post order 66 turned Inquisitor like the others. But with a minor connection to Ashoka and Huyang to make it interesting for Clone Wars fans.
Agreed. Most of the vitriole and anger out of "fans" is rooted in our annoying need to try to speculate and out-think the writers of any given franchise. We constantly set ourselves up for disappointment. Far better if we all just learn to enjoy the ride we are on instead.
Marrok is probably Sam Witwer, but not Star killer. He is probably just a surviving Inquisitor
@@5353Jumper If it was Barris it would need to be kept until season 2 so this story doesn't get derailed
@@BiggestDawgEver not in a billion years it’s just shit nothing to do with unrealistic expectations
It took me a bit to realize you were holding the baby 😂 I love y’all’s reactions, stay awesome!
There is a theory floating around that Marrok is Starkiller from the Star Wars video game. He was Vader's apprentice. The voice actor for Starkiller is Sam Witwer, who is in the credits of Ahsoka as "additional voices". What character is he voicing? Dave Filoni mentioned wanting one day to bring Starkiller into live action, maybe as an inquisitor, which a lot of people think this character is. Also, Starkiller's name in the game is Marek. The spelling is different but close enough. They'd have to tone his powers down A LOT in the show because he was just under Palpatine level power in the game. In the game he force stopped/crashes a star destroyer. If that is him than he obviously was toned down because he would have made short work of Ahsoka when they briefly fought. It would be really cool to see Ahsoka, Anakin's apprentice, fight Marrok, Vader's apprentice!
Hey Ahsoka, tell me you were Anakin's Padawan without telling me you were his Padawan?
Goes out on a Spacewalk without hesitation to defend the ship... such an Anakin move. Loved it
Technically, that was a Plo Koon move!
"because we are perfect parents" 😂 cracked me up haha
Jen, they never really explain it as far as I'm aware but most sci-fi assumes when you have artificial gravity and faster than light travel / extreme acceleration you can also negate inertia meaning they dont experience any g-force. Its usually called an inertial dampener or something along those lines
As little as I like this series, I'll come to its defense for the lightsaber stabbing. Yes, Sabine doesn't instantly die, but the next time we see her (in S1E2), she's in the medbay (which was only a few minutes' flight away for Ahsoka, and where she presumably got bacta) and clearly still limited and in pain. And it takes half of S1E2 for her to recover fully. Compare that to _Obi-Wan Kenobi_ , wherein not only does the Grand Inquisitor survive a stab right through the middle, but Reva traveled across the galaxy with a stab wound and chased Luke Skywalker across the desert with an expression best characterized as "boy, this is mildly inconvenient", and _Ahsoka_ comes across as a refreshing return to sanity.
MEW gave the best performance in this episode - you can feel the pain in her voice and see it in her face.
IDK Rosario as the stoic master was awesome.
Are all men removed from the Star Wars universe now?
@@trhansen3244 if you're a blind moron, sure.
@@trhansen3244 No, but Ezra is missing, Kanan is dead, and Zeb is too expensive to consistently animate on a TV budget. These are most of the surviving characters from Rebels, and since the show is about Ahsoka, these are the characters that make sense.
The fact that you even thought to ask reveals a little too much about you.
@@trhansen3244 did you not see the 6 foot tall non sith bad guy🤷🏽♂️
My opinion about why Sabine survived compared to Qui Gon:
1- She was stabbed in the side as you said.
2- We don't know how long was Qui Gon lying there while the shields were up, while Ahsoka attended Sabine basically immediately.
3- Also 40+ years of medicine science evolution.
Holden: "Super easy, barely an inconvenience"
Me: (Looks up) "Oh really?"
scrolled way to far to find this
12:13 yep, we saw a cameo of them in The Mandalorian while Din and Grogu are traveling through hyperspace
Ahsoka being more stoic than before. If you've lived long enough to actually remember who you where 26/27 years ago (Which is the time line since the Siege of Mandalore!) Nothing about who Ahsoka is now will shock you. Other than how extremely chill and un-Karen she is!
And because this is after she learned what happened to Anakin.
Hell, it's also 10 years after Ahsoka's last appearance in Rebels (other than the silent brief moment in the epilogue). She's gone from the brash 14-year old at the start of The Clone Wars to being in her late 40's now. Plenty of time for self-reflection and change in that time-line.
My head canon is that most lightsaber stabbings are survivable except when it’s straight through the spine like Qui-Gon’s was. Just don’t read into the fact that Maul was cut in half.
having gone back and watched each star wars show as a "binge" watch i can say they work 10x better in one sitting, it takes things like Book of Boba Fett from like a 5 to a high 7 for me, the weekly waiting is fun for speculation making me want more but the shows work so much better in long form
Sabine is my favorite character, and this is basically the Sabine show. Love it!
Congratulations on the baby they’re a true blessing. And thank you for awesome content. 👍
I hate when people can’t just enjoy something as it is. This show is starting off better than anything Star Wars we’ve gotten in a while IMO. Why can’t people just enjoy it for the good characters, plot and absolutely stunning visuals. People complain way too much for such little things.
bro straight up forgot about Andor
@joramsim people complained a ton about Andor...if that's what you're saying 😅
I agree you can never make a Star Wars fan bass happy. They always want some crazy reveal weather doesn't need to be one or not. Biggest case-in-point in this series is the former Inquisitor character everyone is speculating that he is secretly Ezra Bridger but that would make no sense since azra is lost in the other Galaxy, or he is Starkiller should also make no sense in Starkiller super powerful this guy does not seem to be any more than a regular Inquisitor and although it'll be great pop reveal at first it would ultimately prove to be a disappointment characters potential of Starkiller there's so many things to look forward to in the series I wish you would just focus on that and not their personal theories on what's going to happen
It's a great show so far.
@@joramsim I mean "IT'S SO SLOW" was the warcry from the perpetually mad.
Surprised no one brought up how insane the intro animation for this intro is. I thought it was from a show or something. Cool stuff!
in training i see the young padawan , may god bless your baby with long healthy life
When people try to compare Sabine surviving to Qui-Gon, remind them that Maul survived being cut in half. Qui-Gon was stabbed through the chest. Probably the heart. That’s pretty much an instant kill. Sabine was stabbed in the abdomen, so she survived long enough to receive medical treatment.
I love how you guys brought your son the same exact episode that Heras son, Jacen, was introduced to live action. Just thought that was an amusing parallel/coincidence.
In Mando season 2 there's a scene where Mando and Grogu are in hyperspace and you could see Purgills vividly, but not in any real detail. This is the first time we see them up close in live action.
Yes, the kid Jacen was Hera and Kanans son.
My Pops was a retired special forces war vet (RIP). Also my Mom is a war refugee. No smiley faces around those 2 if ever, & very consistent with Ahsoka and Cassian Andor.
Been a while since visiting your channel. Congrats on your son. He is quite the milk drinker. May your family be well, and the force strong.
Super short episode but I feel like they packed a lot of great character moments, mythology, and action into the time they gave us.
I’ve really loved these first 3 episodes and can’t wait until Tuesday nights now.
"Super short"? you must hate 20 minute animated episodes.
@@unincognito3689 Nope those are animated shows that needed time allotted for commercials.
@@Redjack10 ??? The Bad Batch didn't have commercials. That isn't why animation are 20 minutes long :3
@@unincognito3689 Do you have a point to make?
@@Redjack10 Just surprised u think this is "super short". Its shorter, but seems like people are getting used to being spoiled with 40-50 episodes. So now 30 is short.
The size of the Eye of Sion is so it can make the return trip with Thrawn's ISD-II, the _Chimaera_ . The 7 SSD hyperdrives is so the trip doesn't take 500 years.
Shin's eyes: I'll murder you and enjoy it
Hera's eyes: I will mesmerize you with them and their color
Loved the episode, it felt a bit short but it was very cool! The flak clouds during the battle felt a bit weird for them being in space, could be from the deflector shields, but looked odd.
Small thing: Same as Jen, I always thought the race of Hera looks dumb, but Hera herself looks pretty nice. It's probably just the outfit in combination with the skin and eye colors. 🤷♂
3 episodes in, I enjoy all characters and don't have any real problem with the show yet. Just feels like good old Star Wars. 👌😊
9:32 basic Star Wars tech includes "inertial compensators" to counteract G-forces... a good thing, because starfighter engine acceleration, for example, is often rated around 4000 Gs.
Baby’s first reaction so cute
Lol
"I need a hero
I'm holding out for a Hero 'til the end of the night
He's gotta be strong, and he's gotta be fast
And he's gotta be fresh from the fight"
Should've named the video "My Wife, My Son and I watch..." Lol
Also LOVED the Pitch Meeting reference in the intro!
Aww look at the baby! 😊😊
Ahsoka fighting like that in space changed my life for good
THE FLOOR THEY TRAIN ON BECOMES THE TABLE THEY EAT AT AND NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT IT!
I love the Sabine thing! George Lucas always said anyone could be a Jedi. Just because she isn't strong in the force now doesn't mean she can't dedicate herself toward it, and work her way up.
My memory (and I may be wrong) is that Maul impaled Qui-Gon dead centre in the sternum or just below. That's gonna destroy the spine and either the heart or the aorta or both. That's certain death unless it happens in an actual operating theatre, and even then your chances are low.
But lower right quadrant of the torso with a self-cauterising blade? With advanced medical attention before any bowel matter infection takes hold, a young and healthy person probably has quite a good chance of survival.
And speaking of "young and healthy," Qui-Gon was 60 when Maul impaled him, and that came at the end of probably the longest and hardest fight he'd fought in at least a decade. In those circumstances, a fatal heart attack from the shock is not at all unlikely, even if his heart and/or aorta hadn't just been destroyed.
Baby Yoda saw those whales while traveling in hyperspace
Fun fact sam witwer the voice actor for the inquisitor/mystery guy is the same voice actor for darth maul in clone wars and rebels
Pitch Meeting shoutout 😂😂😂
"Super Easy, Barely an Inconvenience"
I honestly think that Marrok is just an inquisitor that survived the Fall of the Empire and is just working towards the return of the empire and well as the show has been hammering in Thrawn is the best chance of that happening
David Tennant is Dr. Who, his most memorable roll in sci-fi imo.
The theory behind marrok is that it is a nerfed version of starkiller from the force unleashed. If that's who it is that would make it Vaders apprentice vs anakins apprentice. Sam witwer was the voice of maul in clone wars and rebels and he played the mocap and voice for starkiller so that is the most logical theory so far. Plus Dave wanted to make starkiller an inquisitor in rebels.
Wow this episode was great. Nice animals 😊 And I love the Music at the end completely 🤗
Little man looking great! I’ve only been with the channel for 2-3 years but seeing the growth from my friend watches to the marriage and now the baby. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Hey, Holden and Jen!
The episode was way too short but an awesome entry!
MON MOTHMA appearance by GENEVIEVE O'REILLY as the Chancellor of the New Republic now. Her homeworld, CHANDRILA, is now the galactic capital.
SENATOR XIONO, played by Nelson Lee, is the father of Kaz Xiono, the protagonist of the animated "Star Wars: Resistance". The Senator dies when the Ilum-converted Starkiller Base destroys Hosnian Prime in "Force Awakens".
JACEN SYNDULLA, played by EVAN WHITTEN, shows up with the ridiculous green hair we saw in the cartoon. SMH. Kid's cute, though.
MARROK speaks!
Love the Ahsoka spacewalk! No Mary Poppins nonsense! I like how her helmet is custom-made for Togruta montrals and lekku. Reminiscent of Plo Koon fighting in vacuum without a suit in the 'Malevolence' trilogy and other space-suited firefights in "Clone Wars" and "Rebels".
Live-action PURRGILL!
DAVID TENNANT killed it with the wisecracks!
The term for blind sparring was ZATOCHI. This is Filoni's tribute to ZATOICHI, THE BLIND SWORDSMAN who is a popular character of Japanese cinema.
In LEGENDS, Jacen was the name of Han Solo's son. He had a sister named Jaina. Of course, in Disney canon we have Ben Solo.
The original "Heir to the Empire" story by Timothy Zahn, there was a Bothan leader named BORSK FEY'LA. Bothans are mammalian aliens that look like shaggy horse-heads. He served the function of Senator Xiono in that he underplayed all threatening signs out of resentment towards Jedi, the military and humans. He doesn't believe in the danger of Thrawn or the existence of the extra-galactic Yuuzhan Vong prior to their invasion later.
I don't mind if Sabine's senses get sharpened through her training to Daredevil-level but her Force-sensitivity is negligible so I don't want her to suddenly exhibit telekinesis! I think Ahsoka's expectations are unrealistic and she's basically forcing Sabine to beat her head bloody against a wall. She shouldn't be encouraging her to move objects with her mind but to heighten her sensory acuity. Ahsoka should focus on Jacen instead. Huyang's right!
The space whales were seen in an episode of Mandalorian when they were traveling in hyperspace and Grogu looked out the window.
That large hyperspace ring has "7 engines" & is capable of traveling entire galaxies. The smaller ones can only go within the galaxy itself. That ring has the power to take them to where the Space Whales took Ezra & GA Thrawn.
The ship you are referring to is Home One which Akbar commanded during the Battle of Endor. I am not sure if he is currently on board or commanding it in Ahsoka. He would die on the bridge of the Raddus, a different flagship of a different class.
@@captaincoolbreeze9429 ahh Thank You for clarifying
I really like it and maybe it will get even better ✨💛So Nice to see the baby✝️Congratulations again and have a Nice Weekend 💫
Yes on the cosplay, unknown guy could be Ezra (brainwashed) if Thwan is back also. The reveal will be surprising.
We have seen the space whales in the mandolorian when din and grogu where traveling through hyperspace and grogu looked out the window and seen them but we haven’t gotten an up close and detailed look at them like this episode in live action
David Tennant also voiced Huyang in The Clone Wars.
Sabine was stabbed in the lower right lung, all of her internal organs and intestine were missed. Qui Gon was hit in the center of the abdomen, which would have immediately released toxins through his body, from mostly his large and small intestines. He could have been saved with rapid surgery, but he just wasn't.
Forty-something old Asohka is more stoic than 14 year old or even thirty something year old Asohka from Rebels?! Color my fifty year old self simply shocked.
Love your reactions and so far im loving this show 👌🏽
Ahsoka:
I am okay with her being very calm and stoic in fight scenes and space battles, but I was kind of expecting a little more warmth from her. Maybe not with Sabine, to show that there were past arguments between them, but the main thing I remember of Ahsoka was her kindness. Out of all the Jedi shown in Order 66 scenes, she's the only one to refuse to kill clones, even in self-defense. She was better than the Jedi Order she left.
I was hoping for a more Uncle Iroh style of teaching from her. Worn hands, warm heart. You don't have to be more callous as you get older. In my experience, your kindness grows deeper. Decades of living kindly makes a difference.
“Thrawn is dead.”
I wish like everything that Hera quipped back, “Then show me his body.”
Also, Ashoka’s lineage:
Duku
Qui-Gon Jinn
Obiwan Kenobi
Anakin Skywalker
That’s quite a line to look back on for her.
12:17 your right about seeing them in live action. Grogu saw them in hyperspace in mandalorjan
These may be trivial facts that people know already but Mary Elizabeth Winstead who plays Hera Syndulla is married to Ewan McGregor who plays Obi-Wan (nice that they kept it in the family onscreen and off). Also I don't think it's unusual for Marrok the inquisitor to wear a mask, there was an inquisitor in Rebels season 2 "Twilight of the Apprentice" who wore a similar or maybe even identical mask to Marrok's. His double lightsaber was even able to be used as a flying device when the blades rotated like a helicopter.
Grogu saw them in hyperspace once, you are probably remembering that scene.
What a good baby. Just to be chill that long during a loud show. I was like that, my parents would take me to the movies as a baby and their parties but I was always good. Maybe it raised me subconsciously to love films and loud latin music. lol.
"My wife, child and I watch" series coming soon!
morrok is one of 2 people, ezra bridger or StarKiller and personally I believe it is StarKiller
Hero Hardman is a Legendary Name! Lesssgooooo!
I hate the "only female characters get stabbed and live" complaint. As if Darth Maul didn't happen
just noticed that she calls the blind training zatoichi, as in zatoichi the blind swordsman of the edo era.
2:17 to me this is a silly complaint... Qui-Gon got a dead-center sternum shot and out through his spine... that's a whole other level of shock and trauma then just an off-center abdomen shot. Qui-Gon didn't die because he took a stab to his torso *at all*, he died because Darth Maul knew exactly where to deliver a killing blow. Sabine didn't take that kind of shot.
I bet the Eye of Sion, the huge hyperspace ring, is going to be used to bring Thrawn's star destroyer back from the other galaxy. It seems to be just the right size to fit a star destroyer.
His Star destroyer is called, the Chimera, and I was thinking the same thing.
If you haven't yet had a chance to read them, I'd recommend you to check out the two Thrawn trilogies. 📚 👍🏼👍🏼
@@yubnub420gaming I read the Zahn trilogy when they first came out pre-Disney in the golden EU years, so I know it's called the Chimera. Also why I didn't go into Outbound Flight lore. I was keeping the comment simple for general consumption.
@@jed1mstr the classic trilogy. Got ya. 😎👍🏼
Luke did something similar to what Sabine was doing when she was training and she couldn't see. Also Rey did something similar.
Plus Ashoka started off as a 14 year old, and here she is 47 years old. I'd imagine thats part of it too.
In Mando season 2 grogu saw that few space whales while in hyperspace. Dinn was asleep
I still hope for Marrok to be Barriss Offee. The fact they disguised his/her voice would suggest that to be a great reveal. Come on Filoni, you're the first one who wants this 😁 About Sabine, I'm a bit worried: I wouldn't want her to lose her Mandalorian roots to embark in this Jedi thing, she was a well realized character already to me, it's ok to have a new challenge but not if this means rejecting the old path. Hope they come to make a good hybrid at last, hopefully not finding out abruptly that she's a Force Master.
What I am loving is this new discussion about force sensitivity and what it takes to become a force wielder:
Why can't anyone wield the Force? I know Star Wars has the whole midichlorian nonsense but I feel like they are backing away from that. They mention over and over that Sabine isn't good enough by the Jedi standards, but maybe the Jedi were wrong (Ahsoka has her problems with the order as we know). If the Force is a bit like Buddhism as Lucas mostly based it on, then couldn't anyone with enough commitment and patience and willpower achieve enlightenment? Fans put way too much stock in lineage for Force wielders, that's how we got in that Rey's parents mess. I'm loving the idea that while talent is a factor in becoming a force wielder (or a natural bender like Aang and Azula), someone who tries hard enough can also achieve greatness (Katara and Zuko).
What a dope new intro on Lothal
THANK YOU! I spent days on it and I didn't think anyone even noticed 😫
Ahsoka going out to fight the fighters on the ship's hull reminds me a lot of Plo Koon fighting battle droids in outer space during the Malevolance trilogy of the Clone Wars series.
Loving the series ❤
I think this was a necessary episode to establish Ahsoka and Sabine dynamic, and of course, to let Sabine train.
I'm really like in the show so far. And I believe that Thrones Imperial star destroyers is going to be docking with that hyperspace ring to get him back to their home Galaxy.
i think Holden would look dope cosplaying as Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson)
So after this episode I found out the villains Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are literally named after the two wolves Skoll and Hati from Norse Mythology. Now Im gonna be keeping my eyes out for more references. Wonder if they're gonna do some sort of Ragnarok like event. I wonder who Loki, Odin and Thor would therefore be represented by in this series and maybe Filoni's crossover movie?
I believe they are more going Arthurian (society attempting to blend new Euro Christian with old "Pegan/Norse")
The New Republic are the Knights of the Round Table. But late in their more opulent phase, with conflict brewing between greedy factions and less emphasis on the leadership that created their success.
Mothma is King Arthur representing "good" Christianity
Ashoka is Merlin the representative of "good" Pegan force
Morgan Elsbeth is Morgana representing the "bad" Pegan force. She was originally accepted by the royal elite even though she had peasant background, and through her powers rose to a high position, but secretly is under the control of a master who wants to destroy Camelot (Thrawn).
Baylan is the Pegan Wolf that favors the light (sun)
Shin is the Pegan Wolf that favors the dark (moon)
Marrok is the former young knight turned into a wolf by Morgan to do her bidding.
In the end both sides (Mothma/Ashoka, Morgan/Thrawn) lose due to their lack of cooperation and corruption. A new dominant "bad" Christian group invades and takes over everything with superior military might and willingness to oppress ALL citizens for the benefit of the elite. The First Order forms the new Galaxy and the others fall to legend.
Eventually the oppressive "bad" Christian Empire falls to citizen revolt, freedom and democracy - The Sequel Trilogy (if we look at the main story arc and forget about the terribly written details.)
14:23: Thrawn’s Star destroyer, the chimera
Few things to mention. Ahsoka is loaded with many references to the "Thrawn" trilogy - a series of novels set after "Return of the Jedi" that shaped fans' imaginations for many years. One of the references is the still prevailing theory that Dark Jedi Baylan Skoll's padawan Shin Hati is a female version to Luuke Skywalker, an evil clone of Luke Skywalker
PS: Luuke was cloned from Luke Skywalker's severed hand, lost in the Battle of Cloud City when Darth Vader chopped off Luke's hand and trained in the ways of the Force by Joruus C'baoth, a rogue dark jedi, with the lightsaber Luke Skywalker lost that day.
Another "should be" important reference from the Thrawn trilogy novels is Mara Jade Skywalker, wife of Luke Skywalker. This would be the perfect time to canonize her and bring something [her children with Luke] that could cause drama to Rey in her new movie. Really hoping for Disney's Star Wars storyline to solve this Mara Jade conundrum.
One thing I like is how Ahsoka is basically training Sabine the same Anakin did with her except she's making sure to have her control her anger
Since you brought up the old Hyperspace rings from the Clone Wars ill give you a really cool fun fact about them. They were actually more insidious in their design. The rings were outfitted with a feature to self destruct so enemies couldn't take it and reverse engineer it, or so the jedi thought. But it was actually for when Order 66 happened. Since the Jedi starfighters of the time had no hyperdrive engines they had to utilize the rings to get from system to system in their fighters. But when Order 66 happens they destroy them leaving the Jedi stranded in that system making them much easier to track and hunt down. It was all by design from Palpatine.
"Are G forces not a thing?" Two words: Inertial dampers.
I got my son a saiyan armor onesie myself. He's got that saiyan resilience.
G forces aren't a thing in the SWU because all ships have antigrav tech and inertial compensators, it's a whole thing😂
Also, the hyperspace ring is probably to bring back thrawn's ship, the chimaera, from where they are when they find him
Jen is correct! They should be experiencing enough G-force to make it difficult during sharp manoeuvres.
The inquisitor reveal could be really cool if the starkiller rumors are true. The stage of of both apprentices going at it, I guess more so if you’ve played the force unleashed games
