Ahsoka jumping out into space and fighting Star fighters, then saying “did you fix the ship yet? Great, now come get me!” Is the most Anakin thing ever
They didn't really damage the ship. That's just a little vapor from the heat attracting all the moisture in the area. Space works differently in Star Wars. You won't freeze to death immediately because atmospheric gases are throughout systems and mostly everywhere except hyperlanes.
The theory that Marroc is Ezra doesn't make any sense at all. The bad guys are looking for Thrawn. Ezra was with Thrawn. They'd already have found Thrawn if they found Ezra.
Marrok is just another fallen order 66 Padawan turned Inquisitor. If it is anyone we know it is someone for a fan service call back but not a huge plot point. My guess is Pedro (edit: Petro) - who has brief ties to Ashoka and Huyang.
It also would not make sense from an Ezra story-arc perspective since Ezra was already tempted by the dark side in Rebels and he overcame it. If Ezra went dark side now it really would not make sense and would completely ruin that Rebels arc.
Purrgils aren't always seen, but they are known by those who travel through space frequently. In their first appearance in Rebels, Hera resented the purrgils because they were known to crash into ships in hyperspace lanes.
also the droid saying 'this is intolerable' was similar to C3po. Plus them coming up on the space ring was similar to in the New Hope seeing the death star.
The credits song is so amazing. It is literally the only one I listen to the whole thing after each ep to finish the experience of watching an episode.
@@Im_IshAgreed. That said, few things in Star Wars work the way they would in actuality. It comes with the territory of being a space fiction about wizards, microscopic force-gods and space-time traveling whales.
Imagine if Baylan Skoll dies at the end of this series? As sad as Ray's passing is, Baylan's death would be perfect for the series; plus it would most definitely be a catalyst for whatever comes next, esp. for Shin and Marrork. It would be so tragic, if Baylan Skoll were meant to continue on in The Mandoverse, and Filoni and Favreau had to alter course, a la Carrie Fisher in The ST.
Maybe I was just in a good mood when I watched this, but this episode was AMAZING! Huyang is the standout, he cracked me up with the "Closer, pleeeease"
A little thing that I noticed right away that nobody else has mentioned is right after Ahsoka comes back into the cockpit she says "nice trick, got anymore?" Sabine immediately follows that by throwing the ship into a spin... which is a good trick.
@@eugger3011well, with the world between you can't change the past. But he may not know that. So I like that theory. I haven't seen episode 6 yet though. So working on less info
Maybe it was just me but man this episode felt the most like classic star wars than any of the recent sw shows or films. Like spending the whole episode on a ship and the space fight was so fun while not being to fast, it was just perfect.
I’m happy that Dave is hinting bit by but that he’s transitioning into some sequel characters. As much as the sequels suck, I think it could be saved by lore.
I LOVED this episode. It was a bold move by Dave to bring back those old lore established by George himself, like the fact that everyone can use the Force but it takes a huge amount of Training and Discipline to master it. And of course that badass zero gravity lightsaber scene. I love this man. If you are a hardcore SW fan, there's no way you don't like these stuff. And for those who wants to know more about the lore of the OG Trilogy, established by George Lucas, I highly recommend you to read "The Star Wars Archives. 1977-1983" by "Paul Duncan".
I felt that Hera kind of played into the whole 'doing it just for her friend' thing with her dialogue. She could have sold it better as being important to the New Republic. She would have known going in that this kind of element existed on the comittee.
Hell she could've even insinuated that there were Empire sympathizers in the Senate that were working to prevent any incursion into the plans for finding Thrawn. Making that accusation wouldve been bad in the long run but wouldve shut that senator up and forced him to prove he was with the republic by giving favor to Hera's mission.
@@createdforthemoment6740 Literally any argument with a modicum of logic would've been fine, instead of just saying "look I was important during the fight against the empire, so just go on faith that I know what I'm talking about."
@@VAOdin it’s funny, I got the notification for the other response and I came back to reply starting with “literally anything…” … great minds. She could have said anything that wasn’t what she said.
This chat and entire YT channel is just wholesome and extremely welcoming. Other channels are just very... difficult to chat in without someone being rude or aggressive.
100%! Blindwave and Kyle Katarn are my two favorite SW reaction channels. They are very knowledgeable of the lore, and are open-minded and non-toxic about Star Wats, unlike another part of the community. They voice their likes and dislikes whilst staying hyped and not being toxic
I think they initially had a good writer and good production value. UNTIL the moment they decided to change it from a movie into a tv show. So they got this other writer who knows nothing about Star Wars (really, he said so), to add fluff to expand the movie into episodes. That’s what ruined it. Should’ve just stayed a movie.
@@c.a.honeycutt5046 yes but both the writers and producers of Andor had never worked with Star Wars before, and they made it the best series in live action the franchise has ever scene. And honestly something of the best I had seen personally of any serialized media.
Couple things , Maybe Sabine can’t use the force in the traditional sense but maybe the same way Chirrut Îmwe uses it and a Sabine with that kinda ability could be formidable Also Morroks stunt double happens to be the same height as Sam whitwer he’s also stated he’s only a stunt double.
Honestly I'd love for her arc to be that she realises she can't be the padawan Ahoksa imagines, or a typical jedi, but instead embracing her Mandalorian identity and adapting it with jedi-composure and mental training. Chirrut believed wholly in the force though he was not gifted with the ability to use it.
I absolutely adore the soundtrack to this show it's so refreshing compared to all the other starwars soundtracks not that I don't love them this is just something very different
@@Zenapprentice Ahsoka should have died or lost multiple limbs in the first season of clone wars for being in a point-blank explosion, but she was perfectly fine.
Same with the prequels and tcw explaining how the Jedi let a Sith Lord take control of the galaxy. Sometimes these stories are better served at other points. Personally I like seeing it play out this way.
@johnyshadow Read the canon Thrawn novels and you'll already be cheering for him to win. I've read the Thrawn trilogy and am currently reading the prequel Ascendancy trilogy and it feels weird to call him a villain now because he genuinely feels like a straight-up hero half the time in these lmao.
Right!?!? It was just like in Harry Potter when the Ministry refused to believe Voldemort was back and actually wasted resources trying to discredit Harry and Dumbledore instead of actually investigating it. Things like this make you route for the bad guy.
I love how huge and imposing the purrgil are. I feel like seeing the CGI versions in live action really hammers home just how terrifying yet majestic it would be to encounter them if you weren't expecting to
I forgot to say it in the first episode but I'm saying it now, I wasn't at Star Wars Celebration, but I saw it on the phone, and Eric's face when the Ahsoka series was announced was priceless 😅🥰 love you guys .
Not only that, I can't help but think that this scene mirrors Plo Koon's scene of fighting in space during the Clone Wars. Very fitting considering how close Ahsoka was to him, considering he was the one to bring her into the order.
Mon Mothma here is like Chancellor Valorum in Episode 1 except with even less power. In order to prevent another Palpatine they've completely made sure that the Chancellor can't actually do anything, and the Senate is every bit as corrupt and ineffective as it was in days before the Palpatine took over.
KRIFF YES!!!!! The space walk/distracting Shin and her fighters with her sabers out in space brings me so much clone wars vibes, and the training sequences with the shinai swords is kendo at its very best. Kyle and Bendu, plus Blind Wave are one of my go to channels for Star Wars content. Plus, the way Sabine recited the line from Luke when he was training under Obi-Wan puts a smile to my face, and the training swords are so much like Kendo.
@doctahwahwee2237 Would love some examples, because all the puppets that rick usually praise from starwars and other media always just look like puppets where good cgi would look 10 times better
Deflecting ship-sized blaster cannons will always be a very very dumb thing. There's a reason Obi-Wan was flung like a ragdoll when young Boba fired at him on Kamino with the ship's cannons.
8:48 the Indiana Jones Last Crusade reference with "this is intolerable" while being shot at was such a nice touch. I can just hear Sean Connery yelling it while the spitfire is coming at them.
My dad has seen Rebels (On his own accord) but he’s doesn’t remember much and yet he can still piece together things okay enough, so I don’t think the series is as confusing as some are saying.
Anyone else clock that @ 06:38 the fighter squadrons come in exactly like the cutscenes in KoToR? Ship flies by, brief pause, then three from the left, three from the right, trumpets sounding
This really reminds me of the Super Gate in one of the Stargate movies that followed Season 10 and tied up the Ori ark. They build a giant Stargate to bring an entire army from a different galaxy to our galaxy. The giant travel-between-distant-galaxies-ring-in-space thing 😅
I agree with Eric, that is such an Anakin move going out on the ship. Just like when she fought the droids in first episode and dropped down and attacked from below.
That's funny how I started playing KOTOR just before release of first Ashoka episodes. There are star maps, there are strange black ruins, there is some ancient race which was mentioned in Andor. Also I hate cockpit shooting moments in that game, what surprisingly gave me more joy seeing Sabine dealing with those.
@@Fusion_4000 ehhh I feel like Ezra had his chance to turn dark. If he was gonna turn dark he would’ve in rebels. I can see him being a unorthodox Jedi like ahsoka though for sure
@@Fusion_4000 yeah. Timothy Zahn said he would love to write another Thrawn trilogy and Thrawn and Ezra being gone for 11-12 years is the perfect reason to do it. Have it be about them working together to survive this new galaxy
Best Ezra/Marrok theory I've heard was briefly mentioned by Eric and Rick but not elaborated on, I guess they didn't see the theory I saw: The Arthurian character of Marock was a trusted bodyguard who was captured and brainwashed by evil sorceress Morgain La Fey to turn against his former comrades. Now we have Marrok, in the company of a Nightsister named Morgan Elsbeth. Also given how he had just put everything into mind melding with a bunch of space whales and saving Lothal, I can believe Ezra would have been vulnerable enough to be captured by the remaining Imperials on Thrawn's ship. The Pergills would have got to their destination, and (according to another theory I read) the Emperor was so pissed off with Thrawn that he banished him, after the battle and Ezra's capture, but before he went on a walkabout to another galaxy.
I didn't notice Jacen's pauldron until you pointed it out, and now I'm crying. Every once in a while, I remember that Kanan is dead and I get so sad so quickly.
Ahsoka's space suit is just like her underwater suit from the Mon Cala battles It makes sense that Hera doesn't want Jacen to train, the only Jedi she knew died and got lost. She'll realize tho, just like Kanan did when he first met Hera, that you can't hide who you are.
When you were talking about how much the New Republic and the Rebellion owed the Ghost crew it hit me how taking Thrawn out of the conflict was the biggest contribution anyone could've made to defeat The Empire, which makes me love him even more and i can't help but root for him when he's involved in a conflict. On a separate note, considering Marrok can be literally everyone and anyone acording to theories, i'm just gonna say he's Exar-Kun because why not.
If you rewatch the Millennium Falcon escape from 1st Death Star (episode IV), you'll notice visual similarities in the dogfight between Ahsoka's freighter and ShinHati's squadron. Almost like they read Lucas' WWII book on visualizing the proper staging of a space battle between bombers and snub-fighters... Jus'Sayin'
Perfect timing. just refreshed the website to see if you had uploaded the episode. yay! another solid episode for me. looking forward to see your thoughts on all the things ☺
You guys are so much more enjoyable to watch than Angry Joe, you just enjoy Star Wars and don’t nit pick every minor detail, honestly can’t believe the criticisms the AJS has towards the recent Star Wars content
i just love the way ahsokas lekku move now. they feel like an actual part of her body and not some fancy headdress. really love the "sharp line" at the edge given the front facing part some more width without making everything too bulky. and thank god ahsoka wasn't wearing the cape the whole time. never thought i would hate a piece of clothing so much
The fighters look like P-36 Peashooter and Polikarpov I-16 had a baby with an upside-down tail. Wouldn't be surprised if it was kitbashed from a combo of the two.
What if Baylan wants to kill Thrawn and prove to the New Republic or maybe the galaxy in general that force users (Not really Jedi) are still valuable to have around? “Unimaginable power” is very vague and he seems conflicted about Ahsoka’s fate.
Marrok could be Sabine's brother, last survivor of the House of Ren after the night of 1000 tears, captured and loboted by the Empire. Also founder of the Knights of Ren.
Yeah, that sounded like Sam's voice, just heavily modified. It will be interesting to see if it does end up being Starkiller. But considering how powerful he is, it will be challenging to show, or they will nerf him completely.
@@alyanegreymane07Hes credited in the credits, so it's him. But whether or not hes playing star killer is another thing altogether. We can't forget he's done voice work for star wars before he's played like six characters, and he's appeared in the mandalorian so He could just be doing voice work. And the person's body is a humanoid alien

"I can't see, how am I suppose to fight" - Luke's line in New Hope. Love it.
Yeah she had a few Luke lines this episode. Very cool call back
She delivered the lines well, but the show has too much callback for me - it breaks immersion when it happens so often.
also the droid saying 'this is intolerable' was similar to C3po. Plus them coming up on the space ring was similar to in the New Hope seeing the death star.
Kinda dumb though considering she knew a blind jedi who used the force to "see"

It was funny how they nose-dived then leveled-out. When really that's not how outer space works...

the dogfights in New Hope were actually shot-for-shot recreations of WW2 fighter footage, so ya, really neat touch

Anyone else clock that @ 06:38 the fighter squadrons come in exactly like the cutscenes in KoToR? Ship flies by, brief pause, then three from the left, three from the right, trumpets sounding
This really reminds me of the Super Gate in one of the Stargate movies that followed Season 10 and tied up the Ori ark. They build a giant Stargate to bring an entire army from a different galaxy to our galaxy. The giant travel-between-distant-galaxies-ring-in-space thing 😅
Calvin would get that reference. But I do too
When Sabine yelled "I got one!" , I could hear Ahsoka saying "Great kid, don't get cocky."
I agree with Eric, that is such an Anakin move going out on the ship. Just like when she fought the droids in first episode and dropped down and attacked from below.
That's funny how I started playing KOTOR just before release of first Ashoka episodes. There are star maps, there are strange black ruins, there is some ancient race which was mentioned in Andor. Also I hate cockpit shooting moments in that game, what surprisingly gave me more joy seeing Sabine dealing with those.
So are they not doing QnAs for this series? Also how poetic would it be if Ezra came back and trained Kanans son Jacen, after being trained by Kanan
@@Fusion_4000 ehhh I feel like Ezra had his chance to turn dark. If he was gonna turn dark he would’ve in rebels. I can see him being a unorthodox Jedi like ahsoka though for sure
@@Fusion_4000 yeah. Timothy Zahn said he would love to write another Thrawn trilogy and Thrawn and Ezra being gone for 11-12 years is the perfect reason to do it. Have it be about them working together to survive this new galaxy
yep, no QnAs bc of the strikes
@@nottherealben gotcha. Okay cool. Makes sense
@@nottherealbenwhat’s the correlation there?
Sabine: whoo!!! I got one!!!
Everyone watching, in their heads: "Don't get cocky kid"
Fun fact Yuyang is voiced by David Tennant who was Doctor Who
they look like spitfires, because that is what they used as model for the designs.
I will never not think Rick is Cyclops everytime he wears those things. :p
One of the best pieces of Star Wars in the last three years, imo.
1:52 that was one of Georges biggest inspirations in star wars conception
Sarah Michelle geller was Seventh sister?? So they got 1/2 of mystery inc out here voicing Star Wars characters that’s so cool
Huyang really went Grievous there. 🤣🤣
*YOU FOOOOOOOL. I'VE BEEN TRAINED IN YOUR JEDI ARTS, BY **-COUNT...DOOKU-** THE JEDI...ORDER*
Best Ezra/Marrok theory I've heard was briefly mentioned by Eric and Rick but not elaborated on, I guess they didn't see the theory I saw: The Arthurian character of Marock was a trusted bodyguard who was captured and brainwashed by evil sorceress Morgain La Fey to turn against his former comrades. Now we have Marrok, in the company of a Nightsister named Morgan Elsbeth. Also given how he had just put everything into mind melding with a bunch of space whales and saving Lothal, I can believe Ezra would have been vulnerable enough to be captured by the remaining Imperials on Thrawn's ship. The Pergills would have got to their destination, and (according to another theory I read) the Emperor was so pissed off with Thrawn that he banished him, after the battle and Ezra's capture, but before he went on a walkabout to another galaxy.
I didn't notice Jacen's pauldron until you pointed it out, and now I'm crying. Every once in a while, I remember that Kanan is dead and I get so sad so quickly.
This episode gave me flashbacks to the earlier seasons of the clone wars.
Ahsoka's space suit is just like her underwater suit from the Mon Cala battles
It makes sense that Hera doesn't want Jacen to train, the only Jedi she knew died and got lost. She'll realize tho, just like Kanan did when he first met Hera, that you can't hide who you are.
I just realized this: Eric can cosplay Baylon Skoll.
When you were talking about how much the New Republic and the Rebellion owed the Ghost crew it hit me how taking Thrawn out of the conflict was the biggest contribution anyone could've made to defeat The Empire, which makes me love him even more and i can't help but root for him when he's involved in a conflict.
On a separate note, considering Marrok can be literally everyone and anyone acording to theories, i'm just gonna say he's Exar-Kun because why not.
Great reaction as always!
If you rewatch the Millennium Falcon escape from 1st Death Star (episode IV), you'll notice visual similarities in the dogfight between Ahsoka's freighter and ShinHati's squadron. Almost like they read Lucas' WWII book on visualizing the proper staging of a space battle between bombers and snub-fighters... Jus'Sayin'
Perfect timing. just refreshed the website to see if you had uploaded the episode. yay! another solid episode for me. looking forward to see your thoughts on all the things ☺
seeng jacen legit made me go back and watch jedi knight again just so i could manly cry
You guys are so much more enjoyable to watch than Angry Joe, you just enjoy Star Wars and don’t nit pick every minor detail, honestly can’t believe the criticisms the AJS has towards the recent Star Wars content
I’m not sure who that is, but with a name like Angry Joe that doesn’t come as a surprise. 😂
thats also a bad thing you shouldn't just avoid problems with something
Maybe it's because he doesn't drink the Kool-Aid and isn't all the way biased and brainwashed like them.
i just love the way ahsokas lekku move now. they feel like an actual part of her body and not some fancy headdress. really love the "sharp line" at the edge given the front facing part some more width without making everything too bulky. and thank god ahsoka wasn't wearing the cape the whole time. never thought i would hate a piece of clothing so much
The fighters look like P-36 Peashooter and Polikarpov I-16 had a baby with an upside-down tail. Wouldn't be surprised if it was kitbashed from a combo of the two.
Aaron during the Jacen Syndulla scene was ME! lol I loved his reaction. I am also a huge fan of Kanan!
Loved all the High Republic nods in this!
What if Baylan wants to kill Thrawn and prove to the New Republic or maybe the galaxy in general that force users (Not really Jedi) are still valuable to have around? “Unimaginable power” is very vague and he seems conflicted about Ahsoka’s fate.
That is the first person to mention Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman. Good call.
Sabine will be like Chirrut from Rogue one. That training scene became one of my favorite Star wars scene. Music has very 80's vibe
Indeed, she has a lot in common with Chirrut, including dying too soon.
I'm waiting to see how the robot who's with Ahsoka fights, I bet he'll do some serious damage.
I am anticipating that we get to see the chimaera in that hyperspace ring
Marrok could be Sabine's brother, last survivor of the House of Ren after the night of 1000 tears, captured and loboted by the Empire. Also founder of the Knights of Ren.
I wasn’t thinking that Ahsoka's space suit looked like Saiyan armor at the same time Calvin did
I want Sam Witwer to be under Marrok’s mask whether it’s Galen or not
He is under the mask
@@Austin2tall97nope
Whether you love them, or hate them. The one thing you can’t deny about Star Wars is the music is so good.
"The Jedi have taken refuge in the forest. Hunt them down and pad out the next episode a bit."
PERFECT timing as I literally just finished the episode and opened TH-cam!!
That’s got to be Sam’s voice underneath that mask. I’m def on the Starkiller theory train
Yeah, that sounded like Sam's voice, just heavily modified. It will be interesting to see if it does end up being Starkiller. But considering how powerful he is, it will be challenging to show, or they will nerf him completely.
Agreed
@@alyanegreymane07Hes credited in the credits, so it's him. But whether or not hes playing star killer is another thing altogether. We can't forget he's done voice work for star wars before he's played like six characters, and he's appeared in the mandalorian so He could just be doing voice work. And the person's body is a humanoid alien
@@drewwar9344 He's not credited as the character. And Sam was credited in previous episodes when Marrok didn't speak.
@@unincognito3689 the person credited as him is the stuntman and in the other episodes he grunts
Whales on a planet named "Seatos"...(Cetus). Brilliant.
