Ahsoka

[marble whale]

Also the stabbing was in different spots

[civic hatch]

Star Wars fans do a great job of being unable to not like something without having to find some logic to justify it.

[marble whale]

In some of them

Like Cal and shit that was on the side

It makes a difference

[valid blaze]

Cal also stopped the blade from going too deep

[civic hatch]

Like if it's stupid for any reason it's cause that's like the only way they do damage in fights and it's been extremely hit or miss.

[civic hatch]

I liked how in Visions the one dude had like a slight cut on his neck and that took him down, I wish we saw more of that.

[ashen pivot]

She could’ve finished it if she moved the blade right, yeah

[civic hatch]

Either precise stuff or just more variety in flesh wounds

[crystal pebble]

My biggest issue with these stomach stabs is there has been no impact
It's clear Liam Neeson had something hit his stomach in TPM, but these others look fake af

[civic hatch]

In any case at most it's just funny

I will agree there, this time especially it looked kinda goofy

[valid blaze]

I mean, most kills with a lightsaber have been explicitly against vital spots. Even with qui gon when he was stabbed in tbe stomach he survived for several minutes after the fact

[ashen pivot]

His probably hit the spine too

[civic hatch]

Yeah usually it's like full on beheadings and shit

Which hey it's more effective

Again the only "complaint" I'd see is it's all a bit repetitive and not a very creative use of the weapon

[ashen pivot]

Laughs in magnaguard

[crystal pebble]

Ahsoka castrates Baylon

[valid blaze]

I can only remember two dudes dying from a straight up stab, the mando guy anakin killed and one of the guards in tlj, and both got stabbed through the mid chest/heart

Aside from qui gon

[crystal pebble]

I thought HKs were meant to be like the step up from Assassin Droids, but man, they're worse

[ashen pivot]

Damn this space economy

[crystal pebble]

Why didn't they just hire some IG-100s instead?

[valid blaze]

In legends, but I'm pretty sure this is the first time a HK has shown up in canon

Also probably not fair to base their abilities off fights against one of the most elite jedis in recent history and a well trained mandalorian

[civic hatch]

Oh right I forgot they were a legends thing

[crystal pebble]

They were in the Ahsoka Mando ep in season 2

[valid blaze]

So technically not wrong

[crystal pebble]

I'm basing it off Sabine defeating one

[ashen pivot]

Toys

[crystal pebble]

Dude just let her grab his gun and shoot his foot

[civic hatch]

They do kinda feel like cannon fodder, but you know action scene gotta action scene

[ashen pivot]

Commandos and magnaguards were never topped, man

[valid blaze]

Honestly why make any other droid

They're a bitch to fight in survivor

[civic hatch]

That alone makes me wanna find a way to play survivor

Well I shouldn't say alone

[ashen pivot]

Lotta fucking evil droids in survivor

[civic hatch]

I wanna play it, but that pushed it from not actively seeking to wanting to play soon

[crystal pebble]

The thing that's the weirdest is the HKs were actually jumping and flipping and shooting like BXs in Mando, but now they just walk

[valid blaze]

Do it for her

[civic hatch]

I won't lie, she was literally my first thought when I realized there were other reasons I wanted to play the game

I also surprisingly haven't been spoiled for the game yet

[ashen pivot]

No. Do it for Caij

[valid blaze]

Honest to god after survivor I really want a game where she's playable

[ashen pivot]

Good spin off idea

[civic hatch]

Maybe DLC

[valid blaze]

No fuck you, do it for turgle. How can you deny this beautiful thing

[ashen pivot]

Yeah but I don’t want to fuck turgle. He’s too pure

[valid blaze]

Coward

[civic hatch]

Oh

Shoutout to bounty hunters with big hats

Gotta be one of my favorite genders fr

[crystal pebble]

Haven't finished Survivor
The fps drops and bugs were driving me insane

[valid blaze]

Unrelated, but I could make him worse

dagan my beloved

[crystal pebble]

Cal really saw a pasty Force user and went no way is he evil 💀

[civic hatch]

I shouldn't have mentioned anything

[crystal pebble]

Oh whoops

[civic hatch]

Now I know things that I could've gone in blind on

[valid blaze]

I mean, he was in the trailers

[civic hatch]

You say this like I watch trailers

[grand thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/come-on-what-did-you-expect-gif-22345275

[crystal pebble]

Anyway, on a more positive note, I appreciated seeing mo-capped droid battles again
The difference between fully CG droids and these were night and day
The fluidity of their movements

[valid blaze]

Lothcat was peak

[crystal pebble]

The unsung hero
Saved Sabine

[valid blaze]

I still can't tell if it was the white lothcat or just a random one

[marble whale]

I forgot they don’t release the soundtrack until mid season or afterwards these days

https://tenor.com/view/noooo-no-no-emote-emote-nooo-emote-gif-23071619

[crystal pebble]

They split it in half and release one for 4 episodes

[valid blaze]

We should storm lucasfilm. I need the song sabine was listening too

[crystal pebble]

Remember when every Mando ep had a soundtrack in season 1?

[marble whale]

We were so spoiled

[valid blaze]

It was mentioned before. But I love the fact the credits uses both ahsoka and sabine theme

[crystal pebble]

Yeah, Kiner getting to continue his score is chef's kiss

[marble whale]

You know that shit is gonna be popping when Thrawn appears and his chime starts playing

[crystal pebble]

Yeah

[valid blaze]

Honest yeah, im glad they didn't ditch the rebels themes. Give me hope they'll use thrawn theme

[marble whale]

Not going to lie I was selfishly hoping Thrawn would appear in these first two episodes

[crystal pebble]

I already know we're not going to get enough of him this season since we've barely scratched the main plot

[valid blaze]

I assume most of the trailer footage is from the first 3 episodes. So we could actually get him by 5 or 6

Maybe the end of 4

[crystal pebble]

He'll still have to share screen time then though 😭

[marble whale]

Let’s face it here though his role in this show is just to be set up towards the Mandoverse movie

[rose vapor]

Like Kang in Quantumania

[marble whale]

Hopefully better than that but yes

[crystal pebble]

Not really
It's years away still, Ahsoka will most likely get one or two more seasons before then

[valid blaze]

Thrawn is thrawn

Depends on how long the strikes last

[marble whale]

I am really hoping it’s just one

Limited series

[valid blaze]

I could see them folding everything into mando s4 then going straight into dave movie

[marble whale]

Just wait the show is gonna end with a Thrawn Cliffhanger

Telling you now

[crystal pebble]

Yeah, but that doesn't mean another season can't happen

[marble whale]

No but it means he’s here for set up

I don’t expect any kind of villain resolution with his character

[valid blaze]

Honestly If we get another season I'd hope it just ditches ahsoka and becomes the ezra and sabine show

[crystal pebble]

It's all set up for the film
Mando, Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew
I really don't see how it matters really

[marble whale]

MANDOVERSE

[valid blaze]

We actually need a bobf s2 to tie that in somehow
But that also seems less likely each day

[crystal pebble]

TBOBF was originally meant to be a s3 arc, so not too surprising a second season hasn't come
But I wouldn't mind another

Kinda curious to see what Tem gets going
Man literally said he was visiting Lucasfilm the other month to see what was going on, and to make sure they don't forget about him and Boba Fett

[valid blaze]

I want it, but I legit assume it'll just get folded into mando s4

I also wonder if tem actually going to be in this, you can't do really do this rebels reunion without rex. But considering he wasn't called for mando, despite being put on standby is kinds considering

[rose vapor]

Like how Rangers of the New Republic got folded into Mando S3

[valid blaze]

I'm pretty sure that was just nuked from orbit with no traces left

[rose vapor]

I mean Mando is (indirectly) serving the New Republic

[civic hatch]

Isn't Temuera on the casting list?

[rose vapor]

For Ahsoka?

[civic hatch]

Oh I guess not

Must be thinking of a different thing

[rose vapor]

I mean there was a rumor that ||Temuera Morrison is playing Captain Rex in Ahsoka||

[valid blaze]

There were leaks, but idk if we ever got anything substantial

[marble epoch]

It can add context sure, but to be comparable it would need to be show that takes place during the ST, preferably one year before TFA and the year leading to TROS

[grand thunder]

God, seeing Tem as Rex would go so hard. I’d imagine if he is in this, he’s not a big presence cause you know he’s really old at this time so probably retired or smth

But hey maybe he still has some kick left

[ashen pivot]

They’ll old man Cap him

[rose vapor]

He served on Endor

[marble epoch]

Unless they bullshit a way for Rex to have his age reversed or slowed down a bit

Which I would be okay with lol

[valid blaze]

Also i just realised, where the fucks jacen
Hera just fucking leaving her son

[grand thunder]

Just seeing him with the beard and the armour in live action would be all I’d need, him actually fighting would just be a bonus

[marble epoch]

Jacen was in the Lego set

I imagine we'll see him

[valid blaze]

You can also kinda see his head in one of the trailers

I'm just wondering who hera left him with

[rose vapor]

Uncle Zeb

[marble epoch]

Hera has to have her son meet her other son

[ashen pivot]

Oh that’s true. They didn’t meet

[marble epoch]

I definitely head canon that Uncles Zeb and Kallus are taking him bowling right now

[ashen pivot]

He’s gotta meet his big bro

[rose vapor]

Awww they would look so cute together

[valid blaze]

Honestly I'll be sad if zeb and kallus aren't boyfriend

[marble epoch]

They're into each other

[ashen pivot]

“Mom! Look what uncle Zeb gave me!”
“Jacen Jarrus you put that rifle down RIGHT NOW!”

[marble epoch]

They kissed off screen at Lira San

[rose vapor]

One sign they're gay for each other: they like each other

[valid blaze]

syndulla*

[marble epoch]

Their bromance turns into a romance

Geonosis moon does that to a person

[rose vapor]

Being cramped in an escape pod does wonders to the mind

[marble epoch]

They should add a hyphen to his name Jacen Jarrus-Syndulla

[ashen pivot]

I couldn’t remember if she took his last name. She probably wouldn’t tbh

[valid blaze]

I feel like jacen dume syndulla would work better

[ashen pivot]

Ooh that sounds nice

[marble epoch]

Sabine in the epilogue calls him Jacen Syndulla

[ashen pivot]

I swear to god if we don’t see her talk to him about Kanan, I’ll flip an orphanage

[rose vapor]

Same

[marble whale]

Watch the show just ignore his existence

[valid blaze]

I'd like to trunks she'd talk to him about ezra and bring kanan up that way

[marble epoch]

I find it funny the people who haven't watched Rebels have no idea who that tall guy behind Hera on the mural is

[valid blaze]

Also sabine cutting her hair directly called back the the scene where kanan does his. So he's clearly on the writes mind. Plus the mural

[valid blaze]

Or who the purple fuck is

[marble epoch]

They met him in Mandalorian

[valid blaze]

Yeah but he wasn't named and looks different enough from the image

[marble epoch]

Yeah... We better get Zeb and Kallus in this

I can't imagine them creating a CG model for Zeb just for a cameo in Mandalorian

[valid blaze]

Like idk if I'd assume these are the same people If I didn't know before hand

[marble epoch]

Kallus is too hot not to show up

https://tenor.com/view/kallus-rebels-isb-bsi-folcrome-gif-20594856

[valid blaze]

It's criminal that he's barely in season 4

[marble epoch]

He and Rex both should've went to Lothal with the Ghost crew

[valid blaze]

I can understand the logic with kallus, he's fresh from defecting and the empire would have a recent image of him. Rex 100% could have gone

[marble epoch]

Rex...
The guy who face is an exact replica of people who still work in the Empire? (purge troopers)

[valid blaze]

He's old enough that he can pass as a random old guy

[marble epoch]

I imagine they have images of older clones

[civic hatch]

Wait the purge troopers are clones?

[marble epoch]

Yes

[civic hatch]

Oh

Weird

[marble epoch]

They were clones made after Order 66

They have no attachment to the jedi

[valid blaze]

Early ones were the last batch. After that its just elite recruits

[civic hatch]

Ohhhh

Okay cause I was about to say I thought they blew up the facility and data and shit

[marble epoch]

Yeah, the comics where you learn they are clones takes place before Kamino is destroyed

[valid blaze]

Bad batch has actually made it so they're kinda making new clones, despite kamino being gone. Which could tie into the purge troopers

[marble epoch]

Anyways point is, if Kallus' face is a problem, so to would be a literal clone

[valid blaze]

Kallus would be able to blend in if he shaved, and I would not force him to do that

But also again, rex is old as fuck. He can pass as a random old guy, and I'm pretty sure he does at various points in rebels

[marble epoch]

He can use Superman logic and wear glasses

[civic hatch]

I mean he is literally a random old dude in rotj

[marble epoch]

I love that retcon

[valid blaze]

Man I want to see luke and rex interact so bad

Fuck it, they can have luke in this show as long as he only talks to rex then leaves

[civic hatch]

And it's only off screen Mark Hamill

We see the back of Luke's head as he talks to Rex

"wow my dad fought with you?" "yep" credits roll

[marble epoch]

This is a story that would be strange if Luke didn't show up

Not necessarily this season though

[valid blaze]

Wish list:
Zeb and kallus sex scene
Rex and luke talking at least once
Chopper eating a child

[marble epoch]

Well one of those is guaranteed

Why do you think we haven't seen Jacen?

[crystal pebble]

Oh man, I forgot how goofy mural Zeb looking

[marble epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/starwars-frustration-r2d2-gif-4813360

[valid blaze]

He legitimately looks worse in the ahsoka version

[marble epoch]

So my prediction is that the civilization from the other Galaxy is the Grysk

[marble whale]

We will see him at some point

This is all but confirmed by the Lego set

[marble epoch]

After Chop pukes him up

[marble whale]

Just there was no need for him to be in the first two episodes

[crystal pebble]

Can't be the Grysk
They serve no purpose in this story, and Thrawn is fighting them in the books atm

[valid blaze]

I was actually thinking they'd probably bullshit the yuuzhan vong into this, then I remember the grysk are basically just a toned down version of them

[marble whale]

Also he won't be looking Half Shrek anymore it seems

[valid blaze]

They're isn't a current thrawn book though

Ascendancy a prequel

[marble whale]

Ayo where did this goofy aah child come from

[crystal pebble]

Kys

😭

[marble whale]

Ain't no way he would look like that with Kanan and Hera's genes

[marble epoch]

Well Blaze, when a Jedi and a twilek love each other

[valid blaze]

I never understand why they have him massive ears. The green hair fine. But why the ears

[crystal pebble]

Rebels artstyle is just plain weird

[valid blaze]

Is this a commentary on the French

[marble whale]

Well no more green hair so

[rose vapor]

He dyed it

[marble whale]

Lmao

[marble epoch]

Better design, looks more like his dad

[crystal pebble]

Sabine got banned from babysitting

[marble epoch]

I'd love if that's the canon explanation for the green hair

[rose vapor]

Even his eyebrows are dyed💀💀

[valid blaze]

Honestly I assume they just didn't think it through, and went of hera skin and lekku. Which are both green

[marble whale]

I love how all the other transitions to live action are extemely faithful and then they saw Jacen's design and went lol no

[valid blaze]

I can't really blame them, jacen was a interpieces abomination

I assume they also just didn't want to dye a kids hair green and thought a wig would be too difficult for them to wear for long periods of time

And jacen hair colour didn't even match hera green

[crystal pebble]

With Hera having green contacts, I still don't get why Saw and Bo don't have accurate eye colors in live action

[marble whale]

Now we get to see if they kept the ears or not lmao

[crystal pebble]

Just a Chimp from a zoo in a wig 😭

[grand thunder]

I am just learning of this ear thing now, that’s something alright lol

[valid blaze]

I don't think star wars is ready to address interspeices fucking.
They should do what the garrus romance does in mass effect though and dedicate an entire book to how two characters are gonna fuck and how their child will end up looking

[crystal pebble]

I wonder like how crazy you can get with interspecies breeding

[marble epoch]

https://youtu.be/P4TriY2CT8g?si=ZWMDS44FWln6_gHN

[crystal pebble]

Ahsoka got a glow down, but Sabine a massive glow up

[valid blaze]

Lucasfilm are clearly coward and will never explore this in any meaningful detail

[marble epoch]

Sabine's actress is perfect

I have no notes

[valid blaze]

The glow down for ahsoke does seem to be for an arc though. Dave talked a lot about how he wants to take ahsoka from being gandalf the gray, to gandalf the white

He just didn't have the time back then, so skipped the arc. But he's doing it now

[crystal pebble]

Kinda weird though when you think about it, since Gandalf only became a white after dying

[marble epoch]

Ahsoka already died

Speaking of which, didn't see Morai

[marble whale]

Is this supposed to be the same scene 😭

[valid blaze]

I assume it'll be like a metaphorical death, where she accepts her past and moves on to being something greater

[marble whale]

Why would they not do the white attire

[marble epoch]

Because of an arc

[marble whale]

https://tenor.com/view/knives-out-it-makes-no-damn-sense-compels-me-though-benoit-blanc-daniel-craig-gif-18728195

[grand thunder]

Why wouldn’t it be?

[valid blaze]

Dave wants to build her to the point where she can wear the white robes

That's really it

[marble whale]

Hilarious

[crystal pebble]

Yeah, so why the arc now from grey to white, when the events of the death made the change
Her facing Vader should've been the death of the Old Ahsoka is what I'm saying

[marble epoch]

It's literally beat for beat the same scene.

[marble whale]

Now to answer the question is she a Jedi

Or is she not a Jedi

Or is she a Jedi

Or is she not a Jedi

[marble epoch]

She's a Jedi technically

But not really

But kind of

[marble whale]

I'm no Jedi but I am kind of but I am not lol

[valid blaze]

Well, its clearly been changed slightly to where she's still running from her past and anakin. And can't move on to become gandalf the white until she's accepted everything that happened and who she is

[crystal pebble]

She was a Jedi, but she died
So now just a Je

[valid blaze]

She faced vader. But she never truly came to terms with it

The same way obi wan accepted the fact anakin was gone

[marble epoch]

So Thrawn has an Inquisitor, a witch, two dark Jedi. You think Ezra is going to be on team Thrawn when we meet him?

[marble whale]

Somehow... Sauron returned

[valid blaze]

I assume ezra just locked up somewhere or immediately jumped ship once they got out of hyperspace

[crystal pebble]

It was a possibility when we thought Thrawn was by himself, but since he has other Force users to fill that gap... unlikely

[civic hatch]

It'd be funny if Ezra was just dead the whole time

[marble epoch]

Let's assume the Grysk is involved though, would Ezra want to help stop them?

[marble whale]

Thrawn actually apologized to Ezra for trying to kill him numerous times

They made up

and now get Coffee every tuesday

[crystal pebble]

They're engaged

[ashen pivot]

I hope his skeleton was left in a funny pose

[marble epoch]

Eman Esfandi getting cast to play a dead character: 👁️👄👁️

[marble whale]

https://tenor.com/view/thrawn-star-wars-gif-19952059

[crystal pebble]

Ezra's skeleton still calling Sabine sister, friend zoned even in death

[civic hatch]

Force ghost

[marble whale]

Thrawn became Ezra's apprentice

[civic hatch]

It'd be funny as hell

Thrawn is a jedi now too

[marble whale]

He is actually force sensitive

[civic hatch]

According to Fox, apparently his species is when they're little or something

So who knows

Maybe he's special

But that's just a theory

A game theory

[valid blaze]

Some are when they're young

[crystal pebble]

Luke showing up and seeing all these potential students

[civic hatch]

I wanna fucking die

[marble whale]

Ezra and Thrawn plus Sabine and Ashoka come together and team up to fight the two Evil Jedi

Like The Incredibles

[civic hatch]

Thrawn and Ezra were the Knights of Ren the whole time

[marble epoch]

Chiss do have Skywalker's who use the Force to travel space if I remember the books

[crystal pebble]

I get the feeling Baylan might have turned good if Ray was still around

[marble whale]

He will die in typical lightsaber antagonist fashion

[wary needle]

Right and to be clear I’m not agreeing with the article itself. Just saying the idea of Filoni being a “continuity Doctor” doesn’t make sense to me given his history lol

[marble whale]

He will realize there is still good in him

[valid blaze]

I guess it really depends. I can see him siding with thrawn to stop them. But also all they have is a damaged Chimaera. They ain't fighting in that. Though I do assume its been fixed and will be put in the hyperion ring

[marble whale]

and then get offed

[crystal pebble]

Shin dies of sadness

[marble whale]

Classic StarWars 101

[valid blaze]

They're only children though, and I'm pretty sure they lose their connection to the force once they reach adulthood

It was a whole thing where skywalkers are largely necessary to travel the unknowns regions. But there's a limited amount and they have a time limit

[civic hatch]

Like the hit film Baby Geniuses

[marble epoch]

It's been a while since I read the canon Thrawn trilogy so I had to dust cobwebs from my brain to get that information

[valid blaze]

My brain is an archive for useless knowledge

[crystal pebble]

So, like do you think the Filoni film will have a Snoke scene, or one of the shows?
They already teased him coming

[wary needle]

You might even call it an archive of our own

[marble whale]

Did you know that Indiana Jones is playable in Lego StarWars the Complete Saga

Like what are you supposed to do with that knowledge

[crystal pebble]

Play as him

[civic hatch]

Enjoy life

Back when life was good

[marble whale]

Life is good yesterday I had Falafel

[marble epoch]

I hate the ideas of Ezra being on the dark side when they find him.

Ezra already had his arc of almost falling to the dark, he rejected the dark and selfishness again and again. And he sacrificed himself out of our selflessness and love. I would not be happy if he fell to the dark

[ashen pivot]

Watch me win jeopardy on that exact question

[civic hatch]

He's gonna be mind wiped

Reprogrammed like a Terminator or something

"MUST. KILL. FRIENDS!!!"

[valid blaze]

They put ezra in the mind flayer

[ashen pivot]

“I have a new name. Call me..Ezra Miller”

[crystal pebble]

Tbf though, that arc was rushed and lasted like five episodes

[marble whale]

Okay hear me out Evil Yoda Clone

[crystal pebble]

They could do it again but properly

[civic hatch]

Thank god someone else thinks that too

[valid blaze]

I can just imagine this fucker in front of ezra, while they stuff him in the mind flayer

[grand thunder]

I think it was less so rushed and not given as much focus as one might think, at least for me

[crystal pebble]

You think Pershing gonna be uploaded into a clone body for a future show?

[marble whale]

Ezra I think we are now the Last of Us

[crystal pebble]

Ezra put in Pershing's body, and Gideon in Ezra's

[marble whale]

Snoke is back this time he smokes Dope

This is how they fix the sequels

[ashen pivot]

Ezra, we have bring the rise of Skywalker

[valid blaze]

I legit love though how the new Republic fucking kept the empire torture devices and were like "on low settings these things are perfectly harmless" then never put a fucking limiter on it

[civic hatch]

I hope they bring back that mochi guy that killed rey's parents

[crystal pebble]

Also leave it unguarded

[marble whale]

What are we now some kind of Resistance? Resists all over the place

[crystal pebble]

Ochi lol

[ashen pivot]

It’s resistin time

[crystal pebble]

Thrawn loses cause of Ochi probably

[marble whale]

Somehow Yaddle returned...

[valid blaze]

You know, I actually wanted to sleep early tonight. But then all this shit happened and I've ended up staying awake until close to 5 again

[marble whale]

"Ashoka.... these are your first steps to becoming a master podracer"

[crystal pebble]

Honestly I wouldn't mind them returning

[valid blaze]

I wonder how they get bitches. Like do they share or is it like a orgy situation

[marble whale]

Dexter Jettster will return in Mandalorian Ashoka Boba Fett Skeleton Crew: Thrawn Griddy Boogaloo & Knuckles

[ashen pivot]

Sharing is caring

[grand thunder]

“You were always like a sister to me” Those guys to Sabine, Ezra shippers: “I don’t care what galaxy you’re from, that’s gotta hurt!”

[marble epoch]

That line caused mass suicide watch lol

[valid blaze]

Okay but it actually makes no sense, ezra was crushing on her hard in season 1&2 and they both flirted with each other a fuck ton in 3 and 4

[marble whale]

Chopper we do not grant you the rank of Master War Criminal

[crystal pebble]

Stepsister

[marble whale]

Time for Chop-Fu

[marble epoch]

I love how Huyang blinks

Huyangs design is peak

[marble whale]

I wish I was him

[crystal pebble]

Huyang is in a weird spot where he moves well, but feels too stiff still

[valid blaze]

also after rewatching rebels. I really love how hera and kanan constantly referred to ezra and sabine as their kids. Like even beyond them just being young.
Though I think zeb was also included sometimes

[crystal pebble]

Zeb was definitely the uncle

[marble whale]

He gives off Mad Uncle vibes

[valid blaze]

Zeb kinda has the vibe of the uncle who acts more like the older brother

[marble epoch]

He's the uncle that sleeps on Kanan's couch

[valid blaze]

Anyway, I shall try and die

[tired vector]

I think Ahsoka suffers from what's been prevalent with most of these shows (besides Andor) which is hit or miss acting with some dull visuals and direction

And the visuals are mainly regarding the colour grading. There's some wonderful ship and location design

I can say I feel way more invested in the plot than something like Book of Boba Fett or even Mando, and I'm genuinely looking forward to the next episode. I'm not sure how non-Rebels fans will feel though

Also the score is wonderful. It elevates a lot of scenes that otherwise I think would fall really flat emotionally

[civic hatch]

I did like the music

I forgot to mention that

[hushed oak]

Episode 1: This episode was amazing and wonderful. I was very happy when I saw Hera Syndulla and Sabine Wren, and I hope Ahsoka and Sabine will manage to find Ezra Bridger. I didn't know that there was Morgan Elsbeth in The Mandalorian (Season 2).Ray Stevenson's and Ivanna Sakhno's performances as Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati were excellent and mesmerizing.
Episode 2:This episode is very interesting, especially the planet that I have seen in the previous Star Wars movie series, Corellia. What I like about this episode is the fight scene between Ahsoka and Marrok.

Morgan Elsbeth returns, having last been seen in "The Jedi". This episode reveals that Ahsoka captured her and turned her over to the New Republic.
A map that can reveal where Ezra and Thrawn are located that both factions want to find them is what would happen years later with the map to Luke Skywalker.
Sabine's haircut scene is reminiscent of Kanan's haircut in "Jedi Night".
Sabine's final visit to the mural of the Ghost crew is an almost shot-for-shot recreation of the final part of the epilogue of the Rebels series finale.
The episode title, "Toil and Trouble", references the famous Eye of Newt song performed by the witches of Macbeth.

I thought that Morgan Elsbeth was Michelle Yeoh lolz

[wary needle]

Ezra is Snoke, right?

My parents who watched maybe a bit of The Clone Wars way back when it was new enjoyed the first episode of Ahsoka, but agree that it does get slow and everyone feels stoic

[marble whale]

Watch this is gonna be some rando who dies immediately

[wary needle]

Glup Shitto

[hushed oak]

Snoke and Bridger were born in the same year 19 BBY. Both have powerful Force capabilities. I don't think that Ezra is Snoke

[marble whale]

Ezra is obviously Snoke

Along with Mace Windu

And Ventress

[solid pewter]

As a non-Rebels fan (who still watched Rebels just cuz), I’m still way more invested in the first two episodes than I was with the premieres of Mando S3 and BOBF, it definitely suffers from the same problems as the rest of these. Andor set the bar so high with dialogue writing that this show feels like apes wrote it

[grand thunder]

I’d say I wasn’t really invested till episode 2 but that episode had me more invested than both the premieres of those shows you mentioned

[hushed oak]

@marble whale Why do you think that Ezra is Snoke? because until now we didn't know where Snoke received his Force training but he was not a sith.

[grand thunder]

Really the only thing that I can point to here that I just straight up hate is the visuals at times. Looks so fanfilmish in nature, very cheap

Like yeah Andor has better dialogue writing but also I can seperate it apart from something like this

To the point where it’s not really jarring to me

[hushed oak]

Do you think that he is the same as Ezra?

[marble whale]

Yes

Looks like Ezra to me

Has two eyes

Does anyone here think that’s not Ezra? Genuine question

It’s so obviously true the answers are right there I’m afraid

[wary needle]

It’s definitely Ezra. I read it online.

[civic hatch]

Consider, both of them are Star Wars characters

[crystal pebble]

This may sound weird, but I was checking out Marrok's crotch the whole fight scene and there was definite bulge, so unlikely they'll end up being a chick... 🧐

[marble whale]

You what

🤨

[crystal pebble]

You know, there's all these theories Marrok is really Barris Offee

[marble whale]

StarWars fans

Truly

What a concept

[solid pewter]

Yogur Starwar

[echo sapphire]

this is a good show

[wary needle]

The best of all time

[marble epoch]

It's been years, they aren't doing anything with Barris again lol

[torpid stag]

Episode 2 watched

im surprised how good it is

when i heard "live action filoni show about ahsoka" I honesty wasn't expecting much.

But really I think this is an indication that this is where filoni's focus has been the whole time

im surprised they didn't show the ghost off already though

im glad they didnt. keep people waiting

[echo sapphire]

they showed the phantom though which was cool

[torpid stag]

true yeah

maybe got a few haslab backers from that

👀 💦

maybe like 4 people

lol

[echo sapphire]

wait what's haslab haha

[torpid stag]

oh sorry lol. A haslab is a crowdfunded project for a hasbro product (figures/replicas) thats only specially made for the people that support the project; so basically an item they couldn't sell in stores because it'd be too big/premium/expensive.

they've done things like Galactus from marvel before. And the razorcrest from mandalorian

really huge figures

they have one for the ghost atm to coincide with ahsoka releasing

and people really want it to get more support because the stretch goals for the project are getting figures of the ghost crew.

So far we have Hera and Ezra unlocked but we still need Kanan and Zeb.

[echo sapphire]

oh that’s very cool, i wasn’t aware of this before

[torpid stag]

there's 2 weeks left on the project

hopefully we can meet all the tiers before then

i think when the ghost finally shows up in the show we should see a big spike in backers

[valid blaze]

It was in the first episode

[torpid stag]

wait when

[valid blaze]

In the hanger of home 1, it was visible with hera green squadron

[torpid stag]

ah dang i missed that

im sure it wont be long til we see it doing some sexy fighting

[valid blaze]

Anyway tidy, have you seen

[torpid stag]

ayyy there she is lmao

i had a feeling

she's gonna be a lv100 unlock again isnt she

[valid blaze]

Ya

[torpid stag]

fucks sake

Optimus was already a pain

also

also hope we get Hera and Sabine in the shop

that seems probable

Would also like the cool goth sith girl

[rose vapor]

Simping hours with Tidy

[valid blaze]

I really want hera and sabine. But I won't get my hopes up, considering we didn't get anything for mando s3 or Andor,

Maybe they can do 4 skins though. Hera, sabine, shin and baylan

Assuming we don't get thrawn or ezra

[torpid stag]

we did get obi wan for vader though

so thats somethin

[valid blaze]

I do want to assume we got nothing for mando cause of the may the 4th event. But it's been a year since a show got a skin. I really want them, but I won't hold my breath

[torpid stag]

yeah fair. But idk Star wars skins are typically fairly popular. They do keep making new ones. So who knows

Maul, Anakin, Padme and the Clone Trooper all kinda came out of nowhere at once

[valid blaze]

My concern would be whether or not sabine and hera by themselves would be popular enough to justify. Like they're well liked. But they aren't even close to the ones we've gotten so far in the game

[torpid stag]

I'd kinda argue the same for Padme tbf

[valid blaze]

Eh, she's a main character in 3 films and still incredibly well known among even the most basic of fans

[torpid stag]

I think if Sabine has her helmet thats enough of a sale there to get a female mando playable

Hera might be a harder sell but Twileks are relatively popular. And I think the devs would have had to work out Ahsoka's lekku physics and could have an excuse to then apply that to Hera as well.

but thats speculative

no idea

[valid blaze]

either way, i assume they'll add ahsoka lightsaber to the game as a mythic

if we get sabine maybe they can add hers as well

[rose vapor]

Ahsoka boss?

[torpid stag]

would be cool to get Sabine in multiple styles to cover her rebels outfits as well

but thats pushing it probably

but that is like her whole thing

so

[valid blaze]

i think it'll come down to whether or not ahsoka gets her rebels/clone wars looks

[torpid stag]

yea

[valid blaze]

at the very least we could get rebels hera, since she has one design across all 4 seasons. and maybe 3/4 for sabine

[rose vapor]

She could be a level up pack, and the tokens are different pieces of armor from Rebels and Ahsoka

Like the Mando quests from Chapter 2

[torpid stag]

man imagine if for whatever reason they just make sabine entirely customizable

can change all her armour pieces and mix and match across the seasons

they'd never but that'd be so fun

[rose vapor]

But it'll sell

[valid blaze]

i kinda hope we find out tommorow. since they sometimes drop or tease collab skins in the gameplay trailer

like how the chapter 4 trailer had deku

[torpid stag]

i wish they'd release a season pass with skins i dont need again

lol

feels like i have to keep buyin em

[valid blaze]

full star wars season

if marvel can have one, star wars can

[rose vapor]

That would've been goated

[torpid stag]

that would be insane

[rose vapor]

But they've already used the most iconic characters

[torpid stag]

yeah but star wars is known for it's glup shittos

you could still do plenty of stuff people would wanna see

An Aayla Secura skin would sell the pass alone.

[rose vapor]

Chewie, Lando, Poe, Bo-Katan, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon, Palpatine

Any of the Ghost crew

[torpid stag]

the fact Chewie isn't already a skin but Krrsantan is

they could absolutely sell a Season pass entirely of star wars skins

there's enough stuff now

Paz Vizla, Greedo, Tusken Warriors, Ig-11, Hondo, Jar jar, Cobb Vanth, Cad Bane, Cal Kestis, Trilla Suduri, Rex, Revan, Scout Trooper, Dooku

B1 battle droids

[rose vapor]

I wanna play as space Timothy Olyphant

[valid blaze]

we could literally have an entire mando season with how many there are

[torpid stag]

its true lmao

season pass and its just this

[rose vapor]

When the Mando-verse movie comes out just a full season of Mando stuff

[valid blaze]

first skin can be a fully customizable mando that you progress throughout the season

[rose vapor]

Like the Kymera

[torpid stag]

i'd love that

[rose vapor]

Just collecting beskar and customizing a mando

[torpid stag]

final unlock being a jetpack backbling

[valid blaze]

anyway back to the show

sabine changing the Morai art piece on her armour to a purrgil hits hard. they legit all assume ezra dead 😭

[rose vapor]

YEAHHHHHH

[main ledge]

[valid blaze]

You know, this might not be the 8th brother. The armour really close. But there's no clear damage on the saber from when a emitter was damaged and the whole thing split in two

[grand thunder]

https://youtu.be/zk-rdCvdlNU?si=rxVDKPGj5_Fk3kKU

[main ledge]

Well too be fair it could be a different saber

I mean the 2nd Sister was able to get a saber in Fallen Order after Cere took her original so could be a spare

[valid blaze]

Yeah but the saber also looks about as old as the armour, which assuming it's the 8th brother, would be the same set he had on malachor

[marble whale]

It’s hilarious how out of place Ashoka is here

[echo sapphire]

it looks like a photoshop

[valid blaze]

vader also looked out of place when he was in the battlepass

In conclusion

Star Wars

[marble whale]

Last night sure was something

Bro was looking at the Crotch for evidence

StarWars fans when someone wears a mask and they don’t know who it is

https://tenor.com/view/conspiracy-theory-explaining-gif-13403485

StarWars fans when someone doesn’t wear a mask and they still don’t know who it is

https://tenor.com/view/pepe-iasip-charlie-conspiracy-gif-11562330

[valid blaze]

the crotch evidence also doesn't work, for a woman without her cock and balls is like an angel without their wings

[marble whale]

It’s gonna be some random nobody who uses their saber is kinda bad ass and then dies before the finale

[amber star]

Hey okay so

Wasn't part of the whole thing with Rebels that Kanan and Ezra had to die (or at least be "gone" in some way) by the end in order to maintain continuity with Return of the Jedi, where Yoda says that Luke is the last Jedi, and that he's the last hope (apart from Leia?)

[grand thunder]

Clearly not

Not the first retcon that’s happened in this franchise

[ashen pivot]

Guys I found the map

[valid blaze]

No, it was just so they weren't there for the original trilogy. Not to avoid the last jedi thing

[ashen pivot]

I’d doesn’t make holograms tho

[amber star]

And we ignore Ahsoka because I guess she's not technically a Jedi so she... somehow couldn't possibly do anything... kind of a weak explanation, all considered, but... now we have Grogu and Cal Kestis (who might still be dead by Jedi) and we got Baylan who's I guess like some kind of ex-Jedi and his apprentice who I assume is force sensitive, as well as Sabine apparently--

Seems like Yoda might've forgotten a lot of people

[valid blaze]

Or he was you know, living in a swamp and couldn't check on jedi Facebook to see who was still alive

[amber star]

And then there's the idea that Rey is the last Jedi by her time, right...?

[valid blaze]

No?????

[marble whale]

Ashoka isn’t a Jedi

She’s just a Jedi

[amber star]

He can sense other Jedi?

[marble whale]

But also not a Jedi

It’s complicated

Jedi identity crisis

Happens every now and then

[amber star]

How no?

[valid blaze]

That's never really been implied

[amber star]

Hasn't it? I mean he could definitely feel when all those Jedi died

[tired vector]

what about with the movie titled "the last jedi"

[valid blaze]

Everybody felt order 66

[amber star]

Yeah because they're all connected through the force

[valid blaze]

Everythings connected through the force, that doesn't mean jedi know where everybody is at all time

[amber star]

Not necessarily, but Yoda seemed to be able to sense... you know, if there WERE others

[valid blaze]

Order 66 was a rare event nearly everyone in the order felt the mass death of the jedi

[amber star]

He'd never met Leia, he knew she existed because he could sense her

[valid blaze]

He was on the ship at the end of episode 3, obi wan clearly just told him

[amber star]

I dunno, it seems odd to me

[valid blaze]

💀

[amber star]

Yoda's supposed to be a wise master with sight beyond sight, it doesn't seem right that he might've just been mistaken oops

[valid blaze]

If obi wan informed him about luke, he obviously told him about leia. Fuck I'm pretty sure they were both on thay ship with them

YODA WAS THERE FOR THEIR BIRTH

[amber star]

I'm not saying he wasn't!

[valid blaze]

💀💀💀💀

[amber star]

I'm not considering people who've turned to the dark side, like obviously Vader ot the Inquisitors or anything

But it seems like there were a lot of other potential "hopes" out there, apart from Luke and Leia

It does take a bit away from the impact, would you agree?

[valid blaze]

It really doesn't, luke and leia to an extent were the only ones who could turn anakin back and thus defeat palpatine

Several jedi yoda had no idea existed doesn't take away from the films

[amber star]

But weren't Yoda and Obi-Wan saying "Luke, you've got to kill Vader, he's too far gone, you can't save him"?

I don't think that was their goal

[valid blaze]

And they were also wrong

[amber star]

Yeah true! I'm not saying Yoda can't be wrong, but... being able to reach out and feel how many other jedi/potential force sensitive people are out there doesn't seem like something he'd be mistaken about

[glacial willow]

yoda was telling luke what he needed to hear in that moment. luke was the only one in the position to actually defeat vader. he was effectively "the last jedi" in the moment.

[valid blaze]

HE CANT SENSE OTHER JEDI

[glacial willow]

that was always my interpretation anyway

[amber star]

I'll tell you what, I'm sensing some hostility here

[valid blaze]

The only jedi he knew existed were ahsoka, kanan and ezra and that's only because they were all in a temple with a deep connection to the force

[amber star]

I dunno, could he like... not have somehow gotten in touch with Ahsoka, or Cal, assuming he's still alive at that point...?

[turbid drum]

It's more that they know how to use force-sensitive kids as hyperspace navigators (because the unknown regions are really dangerous to navigate even using computers) but have no idea how to train them to retain their capabilities in adulthood. It's also a very non spiritual society which probably doesn't help. In the novels there is young Chiss woman navigator that is also considered a massive exception and probably on the brink of "losing her powers".

[amber star]

Well Kanan and Ezra were gone by that point, that's what I'm saying. They sorta had to be, in order to keep in line with canon?

[valid blaze]

Ezra and kanan were killed and sent of so there wasn't any active jedi at the time luke joined the rebellion. It has nothing to do with return of the jedi

[amber star]

Except that Luke needed to be the only one?

He's their "last hope"

[valid blaze]

Luke needed to be the only one because he's the only one in the original trilogy

[amber star]

I'm not trying to hate on the show or anything by the way, I'm enjoying it so far! I'm not one of those like... "aagh Disney's ruinin' muh star wars, everything new is bad!!@"

I'm not coming from a place of malace, just feeling like that one line from the OT is feeling less and less impactful as more Jedi who survived are introduced

[valid blaze]

Your argument also doesn't work, because immediately after obi wan says lukes their last hope, yoda says there's another. So like, idk why you're focusing on this one specific line of dialogue that yoda literally throws out the window

[amber star]

That's exactly what I'm saying? But it feels like we keep hearing about other Jedi who were alive at that point, which... makes him... you know, not the only one

[amber star]

No yeah but he's referring to Leia there, isn't he?

Or was that retconned to mean Ahsoka? Either way I guess nothing comes of it but

[valid blaze]

It's ambiguous at this point. But yes he probably meant Leia

[amber star]

It's still weird

[rose vapor]

He's 900+, some Jedi will fall through his remember cracks

[amber star]

Maybe this is a bit of a basic bitch take but I'm kind of excited to think that maybe we'll get to see Rex eventually too?

I saw a fan edit and I'm like aw man how cool would that be

I'm also wondering... I don't know if I'd like this, but it feels like it might be what's coming

The unnamed inquisitor with the cool helmet might be Ezra?

[valid blaze]

temuera skin tone not that light 😭

[rose vapor]

He got bleached

[ashen pivot]

Calm your tits

[rose vapor]

What tits?

[amber star]

I mean that... looks like Temuera Morrison to me, I don't know

[rose vapor]

He is very white

[amber star]

Unless you mean me personally, in which case see my family comes from Ireland which is a part of the world where historically a majority of the population has tended to have pastier complexions and lots of freckles. I hear there's a whole science to it, apparently people tend to look similar to their parents? I was shocked when I found out

Nah for real though, it was awesome seeing Tem as the poor homeless clone in Obi-Wan

I'd be excited to see him again!

Eman Esfandi seems like perfect casting for Ezra from what we've seen so far

Even the voice sounds like him

[valid blaze]

Bro got sent to the genshin design team

[amber star]

It was really awesome seeing Zeb in Mando, I'm almost certain we'll probably end up seeing him again here, right?

That just seems like it's gotta happen

Hera, I dunno I'm not blown away by yet

She was one of my favorite characters in the show

But here, I'm kinda feeling what Greedo said, I'm not feing a lot of emotion from her

[marble whale]

It’s Rexxing time Rexxes all over the place

[amber star]

Aw dude that was my favorite part of the Rex movie

Wasn't thrilled by Sabine getting stabbed and being fine, that is becoming kind if a trend in the new stuff haha

[crystal pebble]

I'll stab you, and we'll see if you're fine

[amber star]

It wasn't even really treated as a big deal, it seemed like she was fine the next day and then it wasn't really addressed lol?

It was like sorry, you got a hole burned through your liver

Don't worry we put a bandaid on it, you'll be right as rain in an hour

Anyway can you do robot thing for us pls

[crystal pebble]

Why would it be a big deal? Obi and Boba got worse injuries, and bacta treated them
Also, organ cloning exists and high tech robotics

[marble whale]

Mf this a universe where Rey can heal a lethal wound with the force

There is no logic

[valid blaze]

Fennec got her stomach blown out and was fine

[marble whale]

Maul got literally sliced in half without key organs and fell over a hundred feet and still came back

[crystal pebble]

Fennec survived getting a new stomach in a non-sterile, sandy environment
That's true survival

[valid blaze]

Fennec is built different

[amber star]

Well that one I find a little easier to swallow, she actually got taken out of commission for a bit and had to get this whole like cyborg surgery. I can believe that! Still you're right, it's another example of someone surviving a mortal injury

Qui Gon got poked clean through the chest

[ashen pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/archer-you-what-huh-gif-19676334

[amber star]

Nothing we can do 😔

Maul got cut all the way in half and fell down a bottomless pit

[valid blaze]

Qui gon was left on the floor for 20. Sabine got immediate medical attention

[amber star]

Don't worry he turned into a robot spider because he was so angry (????)

[valid blaze]

We had this discussion last night

[amber star]

No yeah true, but it's not like they were bleeding out?

A hole burned through your liver is a hole burned through your liver

[ashen pivot]

He at least has an excuse. The force and shit

[crystal pebble]

Yeah, but it's a live-r
Survival was implied

[amber star]

I can't say I didn't find Maul surviving pretty ridiculous? But where they eventually went with it was amazing

That's like my favorite fight in all of star wars tbh

[marble whale]

It is a universe where somehow Palpatine returns

[amber star]

Hey

Hey

[valid blaze]

Sabine still got medical care basically the second after she was stabbed, so like. Its not hard to believe. Its not like characters haven't been shot or stabbed before and walked around fine. Fuck kylo was shot by a goddamn bow cast and was walking a second later

[amber star]

The dead speak! Ok?

[ashen pivot]

The dead should get some bitches

[crystal pebble]

Still crazy to me how people are like they can't survive a stab, and yet somehow accept Palpatine's master is a literal necromancer

[amber star]

He pulled a Zaros from RuneScape

[marble whale]

Where does he come from who knows? cloning snoke laboratory wishy washie dark side of the force nonsense

It is infact a gateway to abilities one would consider unnatural

[crystal pebble]

I'm more confused as to why there even were Snokes kept in a tank for a year plus, and Palpatine never thought to use them

[marble whale]

He made snoke!

I am waiting for the canon material that explains what it all means

[amber star]

The sequel trilogy makes me sad 😦
I really really loved The Force Awakens, I thought it was fantastic and some of the best star wars we've seen to date

But then The Last Jedi kinda just threw out everything and made it almost impossible for the story to continue from that point forward?

[marble whale]

Anyways

Ashoka

yes

[amber star]

And The Rise of Skywalker tried its best to pick up the pieces but it was kinda doomed to fail

[crystal pebble]

Ahsoka stole my lunch money 😢

[amber star]

Hey that's that woman from the Star Wars franchise

[marble whale]

Pretty sure they are an historical figure or something

Former emperor idk

[ashen pivot]

Girlboss

[marble whale]

So inspired of them to make a show about the character from Fortnite

[valid blaze]

We'll make sure to add ahsoka doing the griddy to the server the second the update drops tomorrow

[crystal pebble]

I think my main issue with the choreography is Marrok spinning on the ground for no reason all the time
Like, just walk backwards

Let's make several angry, lengthy videos about how Star Wars is dead and Kathleen Kennedy is the devil because I didn't like this scene

Think about it guys, we'll get millions of views on YouTube

[ashen pivot]

Star Wars ruined Kathleen Kennedy

Honestly I don't doubt that, that poor woman

which other shows?

[marble whale]

Like the unnecessary gun flips? I can’t think specifically but I do remember seeing it even in movies like when Starlord circles around with his blaster in Guardians 3

[amber star]

I mean there's moments where the rule of cool takes the day in movies, right? We're there for the spectacle

[echo sapphire]

no i mean the spin

[marble epoch]

I think I don't want Marrok to be anyone we've met before

Like obviously him being Ezra doesn't make sense because why would Ezra not be in the other Galaxy? He and Thrawn went to the same place

I think I'm just excited with the idea that Marrok is just a new character or simply the Eighth Brother from Malachor

[marble epoch]

https://youtu.be/uF5IPOEFndw?si=rxZ8RFc6kYPDXY1Z

[marble epoch]

Well no, his name is Marrok.

Why would it be Ezra? He and Thrawn were on the same Star Destroyer, if Thrawn is in another Galaxy, so would Ezra

The theory in the fandom is that he's either Ezra or Starkiller

Some said Barris but um

Well I'll just let you all think about why Barris makes no sense lmao

Starkiller is the only that would work, but again I would prefer him to just be Marrok

[crystal pebble]

I'd rather Starkiller get saved for a Vader-centric story

Don't introduce a character to said story if you cannot do them justice
This is the reason Filoni decided not to include him in Rebels

[tired vector]

It's crazy that Star Wars fans can't just have cool mysterious dudes in masks without them having to be somebody

[wary needle]

Remember when Phasma’s identity was revealed?

[marble epoch]

Agreed, I can understand wanting a fight between Starkiller and Ahsoka with both of them being his apprentices though

But eh

[marble epoch]

What I don't get is that they aren't even trying to play his identity off as a mystery. They keep saying his name in the show, it's literally Marrok

He's a cool ass Inquisitor with a helmet

And there can be a story there without him needing to be someone special. Why is he an Inquisitor? Why is there an Inquisitor still running around post ROTJ when it was assumed they all died before ANH. Are there still more Inquisitors?

[tired vector]

The show already has two other evil force users who have much more of a focus in the story, they're not gonna shift that to this random guy all of a sudden. The dude is probably just some disposable goon who's only there for some cool lightsaber fights and to act as a foil to whatever adventure Ahsoka and the gang are on so Baylan and Shin's story doesn't get derailed for the sake of plot conflict

[marble epoch]

And that's perfectly fine

Like I said, he's a cool ass Inquisitor

With a helmet

And I think the fact that they're calling him Marrok instead Eighth Brother or whatever is purposeful so people don't speculate on his identity

Because it ain't important

[amber star]

Where'd we learn that name?

[crystal pebble]

In the show lmao

[amber star]

Oh my God, Thrawn Lennon, what a name

[marble epoch]

Baylan says his name like three times

[amber star]

I don't recall him being addressed even once

Maybe I ought to look back, eh?

[marble epoch]

I literally just rewatched an hour ago, Baylan calls him Marrok multiple times lol

He tells Shin and I quote "Go to Corellia and assist Marrok"

[crystal pebble]

One example is at the start of the second episode when Baylon tells Shin not to go cause Marrok can handle the shipyard job himself

Yeah

[tired vector]

I want to see what Baylan and Shin are up to as characters. They actually seem interesting

If in the absurdly rare chance these neckbeard theorists are right and they just overshadow Baylan and Shin in the end to introduce fucking Starkiller or some other random glup shitto I'd be so done with keeping up with this franchise

[marble epoch]

Baylan and Shin don't seem evil to me

[tired vector]

the less lucasfilm listens to the fandom the better

[marble epoch]

Morgan? She's evil

[crystal pebble]

No, they're just mercs
They kill, but regrettably

[marble epoch]

Yeah I don't need Starkiller here lol

[crystal pebble]

Marrok kinda is the dark horse of the three
No idea where his true loyalties lie

[marble epoch]

Plus Starkiller is like a really mid character that's basically just designed to be Star Wars Theory's wet dream

[marble epoch]

He's an Inquisitor, I assume his loyalties lie to the Empire and as such Thrawn

[crystal pebble]

The Inquisitorius' loyalties were to Vader and The Emperor
With them both gone, they're kinda free agents now

[marble epoch]

Maybe Morgan just hired three lightsabers for hire then

[crystal pebble]

Seems to me that it was originally just Baylan and Shin, and Marrok just fell into their group

[marble epoch]

Maybe, he does seem to hang out with them

An Inquisitor has got to make a living

I will say Marrok can hold his own a lot better than the other Inquisitors Ahsoka has ran into

[crystal pebble]

Yeah, and you got to wonder.. if Marrok is this good, why was the 5th Brother next in line?

Must've been found later, since the 5th seemed to have been demoted by Rebels

[marble epoch]

I hope Kiner scores Filoni's movie

I imagine he will, he and Filoni seem to come as a package

But he deserves to work on a Star Wars movie

[rose vapor]

Shin Hati be all over my TikTok fyp and I'm living for it

[marble epoch]

Yeah I'm really liking her and Baylan

https://youtu.be/Io3vYtdflRE?si=Bv25nmve2-R54j-c

This fight goes hard

I love how Shin uses her cloak to distract

[solid pewter]

Baylan and Shin give me hardcore Legends vibes and I love their character designs

[wary needle]

He did. It was called The Clone Wars.

[marble epoch]

That trash doesnt count lmao

It was three or four episodes stitched together

[solid pewter]

I still hate how that movie was the introduction to Ahsoka’s character

I will say, Sabine’s introduction was perfect, that entire scene where we see her for the first time is my favourite scene in these two’s episodes

It got my non-rebelspilled mom hooked on her character so that’s saying a lot

[wary needle]

I honestly think The Clone Wars movie is better than people give it credit for. Like, it’s fine overall.

Ahsoka didn’t come across as bratty as people exaggerate

The banter between the characters is so good

And it starts exploring those gray areas of war and how things are not all black and white

I honestly think people at the time were just “3D animated Star Wars bad” and then people parroted the sentiment against the movie over the years until they saw what else was done in the series as they got used to the animation style, and then simplified it to “Movie bad, series good”

[turbid drum]

In hindsight I think it's just that the people starting to get nostalgic about the prequels hated to be reminded that Anakin is kind of an impulsive dumbass that probably can't manage to project an image of responsibility and authority (ye know, a Jedi master image) in the eyes of a 14 year old kid that is probably more responsible than him.

Ahsoka is disappointed to be treated like a puppy given to a kid to teach him responsibility, because that's what she is in the end.

I like the idea of this other galaxy being the home of the zeffo. They haven't been mentioned since fallen order, so it would be cool to see them again

[marble whale]

God this feels so John Williams

First part sounds like Marion’s theme 💀

[ashen pivot]

The end credits give me lotr vibes

[marble whale]

It would be great if they somehow accidentally happened to release the full score before the show ended

[marble whale]

Loth Cat

[valid blaze]

Credit planet names

[ashen pivot]

Didn’t know dathomir and yavin were so close

[rose vapor]

Same with Lothal and Mandalore

[ashen pivot]

So like did Kanan and Hera adopt pick up Sabine on their way to lothal?

[rose vapor]

I think she's from another planet in the Mandalore sector

Krownest

[ashen pivot]

[rose vapor]

And plus she was off with her Bounty Hunting buddy, Ketsu Onyo

But I think she was on Lothal when she was recruited by Kanan

[echo sapphire]

honestly in my opinion the problem with sabine getting stabbed in the first episode is that it’s the first episode, i didn’t think for a second they were gonna kill her off in the very first episode, and it’s also cause they’ve done the surviving getting impaled by a lightsaber thing three times in a row now, it’s getting ridiculous, at least with the last two you could say they were force users, sabine was literally said to have been less force sensitive than regular padawans, almost every other time star wars characters have survived something insane, they were either really powerful sith lords or either had advanced tech or something like that

[crystal pebble]

I'm hoping we get some live-action TIE Defenders eventually

[valid blaze]

I was about to say its probably not likely, since the project was entirely nuked. But there were probably still a few on the Chimaera when ezra took it. So we could actually see some, assuming thrawn went through the efforts on maintaining them

[viscid sage]

finally watched lmao

im liking it so far

i am pregnant with kevin kiner’s children

[marble whale]

Who are you inviting to the baby shower?

[marble epoch]

I wonder if Sabine is going to give Ezra the lightsaber, I mean it's her lightsaber now

[marble whale]

No he will say go make me a sandwich and then force grab the saber

Epic Sexist style

[viscid sage]

grant admirable thong

[marble epoch]

Ezra and Thrawn start mansplaining to Ahsoka and Sabine

[marble whale]

I’m like 99 percent positive he’s already gonna have a different saber by the time we see him next

[viscid sage]

in their time alone ezra has become a thrawncel

i bet thrawn is the andrew tate of star wars

[grand thunder]

It is retconned that Ezra actually picked up the remains of his saber on Malachor and rebuilt it and voila blaster saber hybrid back baby

[viscid sage]

morgan elsbeth is just a radical “free top G” mf

[marble epoch]

I hope he practiced the Force, it's not as flashy but him being able to dodge, weave, push etc. With just the Force, no lightsaber would be cool

[marble whale]

Yes but this is also StarWars and if you don’t have a cool marketable lightsaber what’s the point of anything

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-yoda-count-dooku-attack-of-the-clones-lightsaber-gif-25924872

[marble epoch]

Just give him the slingshot again and use that to sell toys

[viscid sage]

i already forgot ab the fucking slingshot

christ

[grand thunder]

He just stopped using that throughout the course of the show, right?

[marble epoch]

He got a lightsaber, I would stop using a slingshot too lmao

[grand thunder]

I mean hey extra weapon

[marble whale]

No guys he’s obviously the Inquistor who already has an established character name duh

[viscid sage]

vader destroys his lightsaber and he just starts fucking slingshotting at him

💀

[viscid sage]

you know whats strange

[marble epoch]

And back story in the Star Wars database lmao

[viscid sage]

Marrok was Embo’s dog’s name

is this guy a furry

[marble whale]

Mutation

[marble epoch]

Marrok is Embo

[viscid sage]

WOOOOOOO YEAAAA BABYYYY

[marble whale]

Takes off helmet to reveal Embo’s face

It’s Embo time

[marble epoch]

Kanan is a furry, he literally died and became his fursona

[viscid sage]

and its 2009 era clone wars animation underneath

[grand thunder]

Maybe the real Embo was the Marrok we met along the way

[marble whale]

Dude I would give a 10 minute standing ovation if it was Embo

Real fans would be crying

[viscid sage]

she embo on my marrok(dog) til i marrok(inquisitor)

[grand thunder]

Luke cameo:

Embo cameo

[viscid sage]

okay when marrok tossed his saber and began running did anyone else think he was gonna jump off a ledge and catch it and helicopter away

i was soooooo waiting for that to happen until the shuttle appeared

[grand thunder]

Maybe…

[viscid sage]

they’re cowards

[marble epoch]

We have to earn the helicopter

[viscid sage]

[marble whale]

I remember that dialogue completely

[viscid sage]

also this is a very bad thing

now that im enjoying the show

i kinda want the lego set

..

…..

ugh

[marble epoch]

The Ghost goes hard

[marble whale]

Now make sure you mute this channel tomorrow

[viscid sage]

i want marrok and huyang!!! glup shitto and glup shitto ship!!!!!

[marble whale]

So you don’t get a migraine like the rest of us

[viscid sage]

i should just keep watching the episodes like 3 days late

[marble epoch]

https://youtu.be/0TLHTAit1GE?si=fCgdhirbJpifXMUL

I like how Marrok is actually competent

[viscid sage]

guys i want this on my wall…. ugh…….

the end credits make me want to paint also

[grand thunder]

I will say while we didn’t get helicopter saber, I am happy that we got the inquisitor saber throw sound in live action

[viscid sage]

wasnt that in kenobi

[grand thunder]

Oh was it? I don’t remember lmao

[marble epoch]

At the end before Ahsoka pushes Marrok, she tries to cut his hilt and he lowers to counter it which is dope

[marble epoch]

I don't think they used the correct sound effect

[viscid sage]

crazy cuz in rebels u could just stick two sabers between the hilt for like 7 seconds and literally the most imposing inquisitor would just sit there like “guh- guh whuh???”

crazy this guy even puts up a fight 💀

[grand thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/guh-gif-25116077

[viscid sage]

live grand inquisitor reaction

[marble epoch]

Marrok should've been the Grand Inquisitor

[viscid sage]

he takes off his helmet to reveal a comically large forehead

[marble whale]

Now you should catch up on chat lore there was a guy who was deliberately looking at Marrok’s crotch and observing it during the fight scene to tell which gender they were

[grand thunder]

The Grand Inquisitor is Snoke guys

[viscid sage]

no way

thats awesome

MARROK BULGE CONSPIRACY

[marble epoch]

This was his character development, he now knows to stop people from cutting his hilt

[marble whale]

I hate how that became a common way for Inquistors to go out after Kanan did it

[marble epoch]

Kanan vs Grand inquisitor though, that fight I have Kevin Kiner's score memorized in my head lol

[marble whale]

Literally the stupidest way to go

And it’s all because round saber hilt

[marble epoch]

https://youtu.be/mjk-8B36ew0?si=vILFtiKYr6yF5tYk

Literally I have this entire fight memorized lol

[marble whale]

Such a shame that his character ended here

[viscid sage]

ribbles

ugh im thinking ab star wars too close to sleeping

farewell

[marble epoch]

Kevin Kiner was on absolute crack scoring that fight

[crystal pebble]

Nothing says more can't be made when Thrawn returns, or Palleon had a copy of his plans
Idk

[marble epoch]

It would also help show the evolution into the First Order TIE fighter which are, for all intents and purposes, TIE Defenders

[marble epoch]

I'm really thinking Filoni's movie is going to act more as a series finale to Ahsoka than anything

Like yeah, sure Din and Grogu will probably be in it, but I'm doubting that it will feel like an ending to Mandalorian, Skeleton Crew, BOBF etc.

[wary needle]

Yeah it feels to me like TBOBF is just being left behind, and I can’t really imagine Skeleton Crew tying into all this too much. Maybe just to that pirate episode of Mando.

What if it turns out the Filoni movie is just a Luke Jedi Academy movie? After all the Heir to the Empire stuff wraps in Ahsoka or something?

I’m 99% sure I’m wrong but the thought just came

[marble epoch]

I think Ahsoka is going to be multiple seasons and the movie will act as the finale to the show

Similar things have been done before, for example Lilo and Stitch the Series ended with a movie

Kim Possible was supposed to end with a movie

[wary needle]

What’s interesting is those weren’t theatrical whereas this would be

[marble epoch]

True, however it's also not the first time such a thing has happened either, for example where neither High School Musical 1 or 2 were theatrical, HSM3 was

Here's an article that has other examples of TV shows that ended with movies

https://www.looper.com/234104/tv-shows-that-got-a-movie-to-wrap-up-the-ending/#:~:text=TV Shows That Got A Movie To Wrap,movies to wrap things up ... More items

Star Trek The Original Series and Next Generation are big examples

I would also argue they are the two closest examples to what I'm describing regarding Ahsoka

Wrath of Kahn in particular expects that you watched the Kahn episode of TOS

[viscid sage]

i think a bigger barrier with this in particular is that you basically need to have seen like 3 shows to understand everything

which for avid star wars fans is no problem

but to larger audiences they’re really gonna have to either explain things really well or just sell it like crazy 😭

[marble epoch]

Eh if Star Trek can make it work, remember Star Trek Generations kind of expects you to have watched, 7 seasons of TNG, six movies, and 3 seasons of TOS

That's if you want the best experience, but you can theoretically just go into it and have a solid enough time

[viscid sage]

fair

and i guess most ppl wont care all that much ab any intricacies in the lore and whatnot

[marble epoch]

Besides Mandalorian is pretty mainstream

By extension Ahsoka is going to be mainstream as well

Granted there's still the elephants in the room known as TCW and Rebels

But they're making it work so far

[marble epoch]

The movie will like, almost definitely have an opening crawl to help smooth over some of it too.

And most of the general audience just needs to know "blue guy, bad" "Mandalorians good, Orange girl, and blue buzzcut, Jedi"

[wary needle]

I do like that they went the Solo route of trying an opening crawl but in a different style

Throwback to when Obi-Wan Kenobi opened with a recap of the prequel trilogy lmao

[marble epoch]

Too bad they can't get Tom Kane to do that

[wary needle]

Yeah the newsreels in TCW were peak

I liked to imagine it was just Yularen yelling at himself in the mirror to remind himself of what’s going on

More like Yellaren

[main ledge]

I mean the design too

[valid blaze]

the mando design is closer to how they look in rebels. ahsoka made them overall more cute

[viscid sage]

its straight up just a design thing, the one in ahsoka is cgi half the time too lmao

and the cgi in mando is just as good

lowkey sometimes the cg can get across some of the expressions better

[valid blaze]

i do kinda wish star wars would stop doing practical all the time. like its cool to see. but when its clearly limiting what's possible, you should stop. like with grogu in season 2 onwards

the loth cat in ahsoka is a decent mix though

[viscid sage]

yeah i always say they keep doing practical for the sake of it even if it isnt the best choice

huyang is pretty good tho

i do hope we see him looking a bit more feral with all his extra arms tho lmao

[valid blaze]

not as expressive as he was in the clone wars though. which is a shame

[marble whale]

This video is sponsored by Loth cat

[viscid sage]

crazy how animation suits the originally animated character better

good thing this show isnt animated tho right guys

[valid blaze]

huyang really would have come off better if he was a legit mix of CG and practical, like IG was in mando s1

[echo sapphire]

left behind? it ended

[ashen pivot]

Is he not?

[viscid sage]

he seems at least mostly practical

with cg just used to clean up the rough edges, probably remove the performer etc

i imagine they used a similar technique to 3po in phantom menace

[ashen pivot]

Oh I thought he was just an animatronic puppet with an user behind the camera

I love his eyes

[marble epoch]

It's probably going to be the only Mandoverse show not to get two seasons

[echo sapphire]

thankfully

[marble epoch]

Besides Rangers of the New Republic, which didn't even make it to season 1

[ashen pivot]

Rippity dippity
