Ahsoka

[marble epoch]

Skeleton Crew I could see only being one season though tbf

Ahsoka I would be shocked if it doesn't get a season 2 ||especially since theres reports that the crew working on the show are expecting multiple seasons||

[rose vapor]

Ahsoka could work with multiple seasons

[marble epoch]

Imagine if the Skeleton Crew kids get lost in the new Galaxy from Ahsoka and that's how it connects to the rest of the Mandoverse stuff

No idea how they'd end up there but whatever lol

[viscid sage]

thrawn and friends

he learns the power of being nice from schoolchildren

like skeletor

Thrawn takes them on the magic school bus

https://tenor.com/view/bus-magic-school-bus-school-bus-scholastic-the-magic-school-bus-gif-5261092

[ashen pivot]

Please let this be a normal field trip.
With the Thrawn?? NO WAY!!

[marble epoch]

Huh, I forgot Skeleton Crew is created by Jon Watts

[wary needle]

Surprised it doesn’t have “Home” in the title

[crystal pebble]

Which is kinda weird considering more watched TBOBF than Mando. You'd think Disney'd want to capitalise on that.

[wary needle]

Still find it weird that some fans got so defensive whenever anyone thought having two TBOBF episodes with little to no Boba Fett in them was a problem.

[marble epoch]

If the show had a longer season it wouldn't be as big of a problem

But having the main character from another show take over two of the seven episodes, is problematic

[wary needle]

Yeah I can agree with the number of episodes being a major factor

If it was 12 episodes like Andor then maybe it would’ve been somewhat excusable

For all I know maybe there were a couple episodes of Andor without Cassian. But I can’t tell you off the top of my head if there were.

[marble epoch]

Even just one episode would be fine. The Dr. Pershing episode of Mando season 3 was great

Hell Id be fine to have one episode of Ahsoka just focus on Ezra and Thrawn's 10 years in the other Galaxy

Like how Agents of SHIELD had that one episode just focusing on Simmons' six months on the other planet, Maveth

Episodes like that are luxeries longer shows get to have that mini-series like what Marvel has been putting out, don't get

8 episodes is a decent amount of episodes, and if Ahsoka is a multiseason show, like I suspect, then you can afford a episode like that

[wary needle]

I think another issue was that it kinda felt like we still didn’t really know Boba Fett all that much. As an adult, he’s barely defined in canon, and sometimes I kept wondering what exactly he wants within the timeframe of the show.

Ahsoka we definitely know very well

[marble epoch]

Boba Fett I've always found to be a extremely overrated character, even in TCW, which is his best characterization imo, Ventress still ends up shoving him in a box lmao

[grand thunder]

Erm he’s still an up and coming bounty hunter at that point in the timeline

[marble epoch]

Who is a clone of one of the best bounty hunters in the Galaxy and was trained by another one of the best bounty hunters in the galaxy

Poor excuse lmao

[grand thunder]

Is Aurra Sing really classified that highly?

[ashen pivot]

That’s why I liked him in TCW. He’s a joke and the show kicks him down

[marble epoch]

BOBF as far as I was concerned, had the job of convincing me that he wasn't an overrated character. It failed
I think he was cool in Mando season 2, but even then in the finale he was just the get away driver lol

[grand thunder]

Also I thought cloning was just that, I didn’t think they really had any traits of Jango Fett

[marble epoch]

Jango took him on as his son, of course he had his dad's traits lol

[ashen pivot]

Like his accent

[grand thunder]

But every clone has that…

[grand thunder]

I guess? Idk I think they could have highlighted that more cause the reason why he’s even a bounty hunter to begin with started with a revenge plot against Windu

[marble epoch]

Look, I'm just saying of all the Mandalorians in the Mando verse...... I would take Paz Viszla over Boba

[ashen pivot]

I miss Paz

[marble epoch]

And obviously the Armorer, and Bo Katan, and Din, and Sabine, and Grogu, and.....

[grand thunder]

I think Lucasfilm kind of fell into the trap of “Oh the fans want this thing” and then were puzzled on how to make it interesting in the end

[marble epoch]

I genuinely think without Fennec, Grogu would be able to fight better than Boba

Fennec is awesome though

They ported Agent May into Star Wars

[marble epoch]

To clarify, Grogu at the end of Mando season 3 vs Boba during BOBF

[grand thunder]

I still want to see that Boba CW arc completed. While Boba isn’t even my favourite character by any stretch considering he had an arc dedicated to him already and appeared afterwards a couple of times it just would have made sense and I love bounty hunter stuff also more Cad Bane…

And ya know you literally have a payoff to that in BOBF for some reason…

Hell I’ll take that arc in uncompleted form like Crystal Crisis

The most consistent thing about BOBF Boba is how much fun Tem seemed to be having in the role, if there’s any reason why I’d wanna see Boba return, it’s that lmao

[marble epoch]

That was another weird thing, getting a rematch between Boba and Cad when their first fight was never actually made lol

Unless Skeleton Crew sucks, BOBF will probably go down as the worse of the Mandoverse shows lol

[marble epoch]

That's why I really want Rex in Ahsoka, Tem has said that he would love a chance to play Rex

[grand thunder]

OK, I JUST HAD TO SEARCH IT UP TO CONFIRM AND EMBO WAS ALSO IN THAT UNFINISHED ARC

[marble epoch]

Goddammit Disney

Finish the Boba arc

Release it as a TV special

[grand thunder]

It could be Star Wars’s first “Special Presentation”

Worked well for Marvel

[marble epoch]

Werewolf By Night and Guardians Holiday Special were both great

I hope we actually get a Man Thing special for Halloween this year

Probably won't, but Werewolf By Night was announced like three weeks before it came out lol

[grand thunder]

You know one thing that I’m fearful of for this Mandoverse movie is somehow Filoni squeezing in a Luke, Han and Leia scene…

I really hope not

[marble epoch]

It would be odd if they weren't in the movie, even if I don't want it since they opted to go with CGI Luke instead of recast

[grand thunder]

Well one of the many things I’m fearful of I should say

[marble epoch]

And Carrie Fisher has never looked good CGI lol

Plus would they CGI Harrison Ford? That would be annoying since they have Alden Ehrenreich

[grand thunder]

In the landscape we live in these days 100% they would

Hell they already did in Indy 5 so they have the template now

[marble epoch]

Graham Hamilton should've just been allowed to play the character without deep faking over his face

[marble epoch]

Tbf he did look good in Indy 5.

But they have Alden Ehrenreich ffs

Graham Hamilton.
Alden Ehrenreich.
Billie Lord.

That should be who plays the characters

[grand thunder]

He looked good at moments but uncanny when he talked for example

[rose vapor]

Boom, young OT trio right there

[marble epoch]

I don't care if Billie Lord already plays Connix, Clancy Brown and Sam Witwer both play like a million characters in Star Wars, it doesn't matter lmao

[grand thunder]

Also don’t forget that they made the dumb ass comment of “We realize Solo didn’t work cause we realized other actors can’t play younger versions of these famous characters”

[marble epoch]

Except both Donald and Alden nailed their roles lol

[rose vapor]

No it failed cause it released in May 2018 where 2 far better movies released

[marble epoch]

That wasn't the problem Solo had

[marble epoch]

Hell Clancy Brown has played two Mandoverse characters now lol

[wary needle]

Lucasfilm should just make a Tales of the Bounty Hunters miniseries and tell the Boba Fett arc there

[rose vapor]

Yeah Burg from the Bill Burr episode

[marble epoch]

Yeah don't release a little heist movie right next to one of the biggest movies..... Ever

[grand thunder]

And it’s not like Connix is a major character either, the average Joe wouldn’t know the name

Also I should clarify. Having a Luke, Han and Leia scene could be fine but if it’s uncanny cgi recreations of Hamill, Ford and Fisher then I don’t want it

[wary needle]

Yeah just recast already

They’ve got Alden, Billie, and Luke’s body double

[marble epoch]

Star Trek has made recasting work twice

[marble epoch]

The average Joe in the future would be watching in chronological order and watch the Thrawn movie first and think Connix is just a cool Easter egg at first

[grand thunder]

Like I think Lucasfilm thinks that we won’t be satisfied if it’s someone else playing the character but like literally remember how many people were like “Damn Sebastian Stan could totally pull off a young Luke”

[wary needle]

It feels like they’re taking Star Wars a bit too seriously and holding it as something sacred. At least the OT related stuff

With PT it’s like “Sure let’s have Hayden and Ewan play their Clone Wars selves even though they are visibly older”

[grand thunder]

Yeah it’s weird

[wary needle]

Whenever a recast happens in the MCU I’m like “Oh okay the artist for this one is drawing them differently”

[marble epoch]

He totally could've too

[marble epoch]

At least they're still young enough that there doesn't have to be much work done, Carrie Fisher obviously isn't here anymore, and Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill are uh. You know, no spring chickens anymore lol

[wary needle]

In any case I kinda feel like we didn’t need those flashbacks anyway

In fact my opinion of the Kenobi show would be higher if it weren’t for the fourth and fifth episodes

[marble epoch]

For the purpose of the Kenobi series I argue it worked

The flashbacks were the best part of that episode

[wary needle]

Another weird thing about the show is it kinda feels like it came out in 2007.

Like I watched and thought “it kinda feels like Ahsoka doesn’t exist”

[grand thunder]

Kenobi is a very aggravating show to me, first episode fairly strong, last episode fairly strong. Whole middle half fairly mid for the most part

Even the strong stuff didn’t really make me go “Yeah, I can see why this show needed to happen”

Idk, I was never in the “We need to see Ewan again” camp

[wary needle]

But but it explains why he calls him Darth!

Also why Leia seems familiar with the name Ben Kenobi, something I always wondered ever since I watched the film as a kid (sarcasm)

[marble epoch]

Those flashbacks were before AOTC I believe

Or at least before Ahsoka since he was a Knight then

[grand thunder]

I also set my expectations a little higher than they should have been cause someone from the crew of the show said the show was akin to Logan. Last time I listen to a claim like that lol

Like I can see how part of it is but also I wanted much more

[marble epoch]

Ayo what

Lmao

[wary needle]

Kenobi trailer with Johnny Cash’s cover of “Hurt” when?

Also wasn’t James Mangold at some point attached to the Kenobi movie?

[grand thunder]

Think that was the Fett film that as we all know never happened

[wary needle]

Oh right

[grand thunder]

And now he’s tapped for another film that I really fucking hope comes to fruition

[marble epoch]

Anyways, Graham Hamilton or Sebastian Stan should be our Luke moving forward.

Alden Ehrenreich should be our Han.

Billie Lord should be our Leia

End of story

[grand thunder]

Agreed, I’d definitely prefer Graham as Luke at this point considering he kind of got cucked as it is

[marble epoch]

Pretty sure Mark himself did some of the mocap in those scenes as well right?

[grand thunder]

Yeah

[wary needle]

I thought the first body double Max Lloyd Jones looked like he could be a decent Luke. But Graham might be better

[marble epoch]

If Mark wants to be involved that's fine, give him a background character and let him mentor Graham.

Harrison gave Alden some pointers on Solo

[wary needle]

I also feel like it’s tone deaf in this climate to keep relying heavily on deepfake and AI

[grand thunder]

Tis the sad nature of these studio executives

[marble epoch]

Especially when people think Luke sounded off in BOBF

Because... He did

[wary needle]

Yeah Luke sounded like a droid

Kinda wish they’d make that a twist lmao

Or it was Luuke

[marble epoch]

Let Mark play Luuke

[wary needle]

Here’s something I was wondering earlier: What should they do if Anthony Daniels passes on? Get a voice impressionist?

[marble epoch]

Aged up because he has age acceleration like the Jango clones

[wary needle]

Lmao

[marble epoch]

Mark would kill it as Luuke

It would be hilarious

[wary needle]

Also, is it just me, or did older Luke feel a little too much like Mark himself? It kinda took me some getting used to that Luke had that sense of humor

[grand thunder]

Idk I feel like they could just retire the character, not really much use of him you can get anymore outside of cameos and it’s not like that’s a necessity

[marble epoch]

3P0 doesn't have a story they can retire the character just fine

He can always just be off world doing something else

[wary needle]

My favorite era for Threepio is when he’s working the Resistance droid spy network in the Poe Dameron comics

[marble epoch]

That's how he got the red arm right?

[wary needle]

Different comic but same era yeah

That comic itself was kind of a mess but the sentiment was sweet

[marble epoch]

I love how Star Wars fans acted like the red arm was going to be a big reveal when it was just meant as a quick little joke about how Han doesn't care about that story lol

[wary needle]

My stepmom told me there’s a Mandela effect where people remember Threepio actually did used to have a red arm, but I’ve seen no evidence of people thinking that

[grand thunder]

I know there is the Mandela affect of him having the one silver leg

[marble epoch]

Wait did he not have a silver leg?

[wary needle]

He did have the silver leg

But it always looked subdued to me so I often thought it was gold but brighter

I can’t remember if they did something to achieve that look

He definitely has a silver leg in Rebels

[marble epoch]

Definitely had a silver leg

[grand thunder]

I think the mandela effect part of it was that it was a more apparent silver leg

[marble epoch]

Dear God I though I was going crazy lmao

The most obvious Mandela effect in Star Wars is "Luke, I am your father"

[wary needle]

I have the D&D movie on and while I loved seeing the movie in the theater I’m just so engaged with this discussion lmao

I don’t know if this is also a Mandela effect, but I sometimes have trouble remembering whether Ben Kenobi said “more powerful than you could ever imagine” or “more powerful than you could possibly imagine”

[grand thunder]

I’ve always known it as possibly

[marble epoch]

I'm just hoping Filoni is smart enough to know people would rather have new actors play Luke, Han, and Leia.

May not be his decision, but it is his movie, so maybe?

[wary needle]

And whether Luke says “blast it Biggs” or “Blast it Wedge” depends on which version of the film you watch

Yeah I’m kinda hoping they’ll bank on “Oh, people think Filoni can do know wrong, so have him allow the recast as a test”

Watch the movie switch to TCW or Rebels style animation when the big three show up

I honestly wouldn’t be that mad lmao

[marble epoch]

Experience shows that if you trust in the cowboy hat wearing, Pittsburgh born, Wolf simp, good things happen

[wary needle]

Oh god the movie is gonna have lots of wolves isn’t it?

I’m surprised he never utilized Voolvif Monn in TCW

[grand thunder]

I will say seeing a loth wolf in live action would be sick af though

Maybe in this show

[marble epoch]

[grand thunder]

Unironically one of my favourite moments in Disney SW era

[marble epoch]

I want those big ass wolves on the big screen

[wary needle]

While I do love TCW finale, I actually prefer the Rebels finale a bit

It’s a more triumphant ending and just so heartwarming that everyone comes together to help Ezra

[marble epoch]

Rebels finale makes me warm and fuzzy

[grand thunder]

Rebels finale is also peak SW similar to CW’s

[wary needle]

And it’s so action packed but not too much if that makes sense

[marble epoch]

TCW finale makes me feel cold and like I'll never love again

[wary needle]

Oof

Throwback to when Ahsoka let Maul kill Rex’s brothers

The astromechs getting shot was what hurt most

[marble epoch]

Chopper's brother died there

Or sister

Can't remember which

But still, Chopper Droid fucking died

[grand thunder]

https://youtu.be/n1pmZ61M6x8?si=OMgBQpspovWF5F2T

Also peak SW idc

[wary needle]

The music is peak in that moment

It actually inspired a moment in one of my novels

[grand thunder]

I remember being on the edge of my seat cause I was fearing for Ezra’s life

[marble epoch]

I'm really glad Kiner was able to get a full orchestra for the finale

[grand thunder]

God showing Ezra’s connection to animals throughout the show and then having that be a massive payoff at the end of the show was so satisfying

[wary needle]

Hard to believe it was five years ago

[marble epoch]

I get chills thinking about what Bendu told Thrawn.
"I see your defeat, like many arms surrounding you in a cold embrace"

[wary needle]

And it was around the end of a chapter in my life

[marble epoch]

God damn Filoni

[wary needle]

I want Filoni to make me feel this way again dammit

[marble epoch]

Though screw Bendu for spoiling the ending of the show smh.

Dude leaking season 4

[grand thunder]

The true leaker was the Bendu we met along the way

You know I also have to wonder if Filoni will incorporate the Bendu again because it was very much implied he didn’t die

But it would also be cool if it was just left there, leave it be mysterious

[marble epoch]

I would say leave it alone

Not everything needs explained

[grand thunder]

I only say he could return because I could see him coming back to give Ezra like guidance or smth

[marble epoch]

Eh

Let Ezra talk to Dume the wolf again

[wary needle]

I thought Bendu just became one with the Force

I wouldn’t mind seeing Tom Baker with moose antlers though

[marble epoch]

You hear him laughing, and Thrawn's shot hit the ground, not him

[wary needle]

Oh I thought it hit him and he disappeared

[grand thunder]

I think he’s just a power beyond anyone’s comprehension and thus unkillable

[marble epoch]

He's like the Mortis gods

[grand thunder]

Or very hard to kill

[wary needle]

Pretty sure the Doctor Who 60th anniversary will answer all this

Why else do they have Tennant

Huyang is the key

[marble epoch]

Huyang is the Jar Jar to all of this

[wary needle]

Maybe Bendu’s consciousness went back in time and inhabited Huyang

[grand thunder]

That would be… a choice

[marble epoch]

On that note..... We all agree the World Between Worlds is coming back this season yeah?

[grand thunder]

Idk, that more than anything I could see being a one off concept

I give it a 50/50 chance

[wary needle]

I’m dreading it tbh

[crystal pebble]

Definitely coming back, with how many wolf references we've gotten
TWBW is like the biggest wolf thing

[wary needle]

I never liked how the World Between Worlds played out

[marble epoch]

I always thought it worked, Ezra never changed anything, he just simply fulfilled what always happened, at least that's how I saw it

[wary needle]

They could’ve written some other way for Ahsoka to survive but it came across like trading Kanan for Ahsoka

I know the timeline doesn’t change but still

[crystal pebble]

She should've just died to Vader tbh

[grand thunder]

To this day it is a mind fuck for me to think that Ezra saved Ahsoka but it worked for me

[grand thunder]

Boring ass end to the character

[wary needle]

Also kinda weird that we now have two Ezra’s who faced the choice of whether or not to go back in time and save someone

[crystal pebble]

But fitting, he began her journey and now he ends it

[wary needle]

I mean, if Ahsoka isn’t gonna feel like Ahsoka…maybe?

[marble epoch]

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about?

[wary needle]

Who is Jesse

[grand thunder]

Yeah but I just can’t get the “lame!”feeling out of my head at the thought of that

[marble epoch]

Also remember when Twilight of the Apprentice happened, there was no TCW season 7, no Mandalorian, no Tales of the Jedi, hell I don't think the Ahsoka novel was even out yet.

People weren't done with her character

[grand thunder]

Well tbf those are all in the past, before twilight even occurs

[marble epoch]

After the Mandoverse, I'll be good to have her character fade out, as I think she'll have served a fantastic arc and fulfilled her potential

Unless they flunk it but lol

[grand thunder]

I just do not want her to survive past TROS, should die before TFA

[marble epoch]

I'm talking where the Star Wars fanbase was at during that time

[wary needle]

I also sometimes wonder if she ever thought about looking for her parents after TCW

[marble epoch]

I saw someone suggest that she should warn Rey about a Grysk invasion from the other Galaxy(if that's the plot they go with for Rey's movie)

And I'm like.... She'd be in her 80s nearly 90s

[crystal pebble]

Grysk would stand no chance against Jedi
Wouldn't make for a great story

[marble epoch]

We don't really have a lot about the Grysk yet though

They have some form of mind control abilities

They're a big enough threat to make Thrawn seek out the Empire for help

[crystal pebble]

That's because the Chiss don't have Force users in the traditional sense
They only use them to navigate

[marble epoch]

Also side note, I find it hilarious that while the Ghost crew were like dealing with Kanan's death, and time travel and crap, Thrawn was dealing with his own crap with the Grysk lmao

Like he dips out of season 4 so he can have his third novel

And then he comes back in just to get space whaled in space

Dude had an eventful week

[crystal pebble]

Comes back in Ahsoka to find out the Grysk wiped out his entire species

[grand thunder]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-okay-dude-not-cool-not-cool-smh-not-funny-no-gif-13654358

One idea I did hear is that maybe this Galaxy is where the the Sith race went after the Old Republic war

Because remember there's the Sith religion and then also the Sith race

[crystal pebble]

I think they've already teased who's in this new galaxy
Like everything related to it so far has shared one thing in common

Man Ezra's theme when the purgil go into hyperspace

https://tenor.com/view/chefs-kiss-french-chef-perfect-dish-excellent-food-perfection-gif-20341505

[ashen pivot]

That scene is such a “hero sacrifices himself by manhandling villain in path of certain death laser” minus the complete sacrifice part. I love it

[marble epoch]

I also love that he does the pose Kanan did when he died

https://youtu.be/uF5IPOEFndw?si=8q2DYpCfZf8-Mnfw

To continue praising Kiner

I love how this starts with a new redention of Ahsoka's theme, switches to Sabine's and then uses Ahsoka's again as a way to transition from Sabine's theme to Hera's theme

The three themes work really well together

Give this man a Star Wars movie

As much as I love Ludwig's work on Mandalorian, but I swear Filoni's movie would be way better off with Kiner than Ludwig

[marble epoch]

https://youtu.be/AORcApft-EM?si=Z2qrHnSyx7fup7Dr

Sharing this scene for three reasons.

1. It's a great scene
2. Kiner appreciation
3. This is also what serves as the basis for the arc Sabine is going through in this show

[solid pewter]

Kiner is extremely underrated as a Star Wars composer

What he did for Clone Wars S7

The entirety of the last arc was perfectly done

[wary needle]

Kiner’s work on Titans and Doom Patrol theme GOATED of all time.

[valid blaze]

https://tenor.com/view/my-goals-are-beyond-your-understanding-reverse-flash-eobard-thawne-the-flash-gif-16637212

[marble epoch]

Rebels only has one maybe two episodes that could legitimately be called filler

Not that filler is really a bad thing

Sitcoms in particular literally exist to produce filler episodes

The best Star Trek shows (in other words, ones not named Discovery or Picard(though I don't hate those shows, and Picard season 3 is GOATed)) have majority filler episodes

Hell Strange New Worlds season 2 technically has an overarching plot with the Gorn but only one single episode in all of season 2 is about the Gorn, which by certain fans metrics would mean that those were all filler episodes

Anyways the two Rebels episodes that could reasonably be called filler are Iron Squadron and Double Agent Droid

[marble whale]

Fruit episode deserved 5 Emmys

[marble epoch]

They steal a TIE that episode that comes back into play to rescue Kanan so not filler

Lol

[marble whale]

Sorry it’s filler smh my head

[marble epoch]

I honestly think that episode is genuinely funny

They literally go grocery shopping and end up stealing a TIE fighter

They lost all of their supplies they bought, but they got that goddamn Maloran fruit

[marble whale]

If Ashoka doesn’t have a fruit episode I will destroy everything

[marble epoch]

We need Chopper the Shopper back

That unhinged Menace decided the leg was more important than guarding his post

And literally told all the Ghost crew to fuck off lmao

Chopper is going to use the World Between Worlds to kill Anakin as a kid so he can be the main character of Star Wars

[rose vapor]

Peak episode ong

[marble epoch]

I don't get why Star Wars fans feel the need to put down one show to build up another.

Like you got people who are putting down Ahsoka to build up Andor, you have the Mandalorian fans putting down both Ahsoka and Andor to build up Mandalorian, and now we're starting to see Ahsoka fans put down Andor to build up Ahsoka

I'm just like.... Star Wars is on TV that's pretty dope

It's nothing new, TCW fans used to put down Rebels to build up TCW, and Rebels fans used to do the opposite

[ashen pivot]

Chopper speaks the truth

[marble epoch]

https://tenor.com/view/chopper-star-wars-rebels-starwars-gif-6166752

Me to the warring TV show fans

It's okay is obvious that Ewoks is the best Star Wars show ever made and everyone is just fighting amongst each other to hide that

At least the one BOBF fan can hang out with the one Resistance fan

[wary needle]

I saw one episode of Ewoks and haven’t continued since. That was like over a year ago.

[grand thunder]

Star Wars fans try to enjoy something on it’s own terms challenge IMPOSSIBLE

I also find it funny that a lot of the people putting down Ahsoka haven’t even watched it, typical

He’s one of those actors that can go from a silly little role like Mr. Krabs to a serious live action role and kill it in both

I love that when Clone Wars started people were speculating what kind of tragic thing would possibly happen to Ashoka before Revenge of the Sith that would drive her and Anakin apart or if she was going to be killed in some terrible way

And here we are now where she has managed to make it through all these era somehow

Infinite Ashoka stories

[crystal pebble]

I mean, Lucas did want her to die in Order 66, lol

So if Disney didn't buy it, Dave's waifu would be no more

[rose vapor]

Waifu?

Bruh she's like 17 during The Clone Wars

[crystal pebble]

Yeah, kind of the point of the joke... calling Filoni an Ahsoka weeb and all

[viscid sage]

😦

[torpid stag]

17 is old by the standards set by the word "waifu" let's be real.

Don't think people forgot season 1 ahsoka dave wtf

[viscid sage]

tbf that was mostly george being weird lol

dave had all sorts of outfit concepts going on but george was like nah bro give her a tube top

thanks george

[torpid stag]

Kinda wanna do some fanart of anakin and ahsokas first meeting but ahsoka is actually dressed like a padawan

[viscid sage]

give her the tutu, give her the tutu

[ashen pivot]

She skipped everything but forearm and foreleg day

[rose vapor]

See y'all tonight

[solid pewter]

Oh shit episode 3 is tonight

[wary needle]

My favorite part of episode 3 is when Palpatine said “This truly is the revenge of the Sith.”

[valid blaze]

It's kinda funny that this morning people were trying to say the show a failure because it got around the same amount of views as andor in its first week (from a single source) then Disney dropped the actually viewership numbers

Honestly I really do hate star wars discourse. It takes over all of YouTube and ends up just entirely being bullshit. Like bruh I want to listen to the credits, not some dumbass complain about women for 50 minutes

[marble epoch]

It also helps the WGA strikes since that was one of their demands

[valid blaze]

[marble epoch]

I'm on vacation right now, laying on a hammock in the cool crisp Pennsylvania air, waiting for the new Ahsoka episode in an hour and a half laughing at stupid people

Great time to exist

[ashen pivot]

Man it’s weird to be waiting for a show in the evening again

[echo sapphire]

the boys times again

[wary needle]

I’m glad it’s evening premieres again. I can’t stay up super late anymore whether it be Star Wars, Star Trek, Marvel, or DC

The only recent exception was the musical episode of Star Trek

Was able to stay up but still felt like I needed to power through toward the end

[plain iris]

So caught up today and so far I like what I'm seeing. It seems like considerable step up from Mandalorian in terms of dialogue, effects and I dare say even cinematography.
One thing I really like is the sense of scale it gives you, I really feel the size of every location. Unlike other series that over relied on Volume to the point of it feeling claustrophobic I think Ahsoka does a much better job at blending foreground and background, as well as managing light levels.
I also really like the new designs, locations and I'm really invested in these new lore additions.
There is some silliness though, for example the boarding of Baylan of the prison cruiser could have been done a little better. Overconfident leaders are common trope in star wars but I think just letting two suspects on board like that is more stupid than cocky. Side note, NR uniform suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks.
Sabine surviving that stab is also a "c'mon" moment but honestly here it's handled much better and I think people are eye rolling harder in light of all the other similar moments until now.
There's also something I'm a bit mixed on. The Corellian's allegiance bit. I really liked how initially they addressed how transitioning governments is not always smooth sailing for the industrial side but after that they just go "Opps imperial simps" and I kind of wished they dewelled more on the motivations other than "because greed". I get the show didn't want to dwell on that too much, but I think it's a really interesting angle to explore the why the industrial backbone of a former government has trobles with transitioning. Sure the head chief follows the money, but what about the workers? How was their livelihoods affected?
Fight choregraphy is also, decent. It's much better than previous iterations but I have a feeling it'd be better if it were a little faster. Can't ask too much from the actors I guess.

If I really had to throw some general criticism at the first episodes is that it feels kind of slow, similar to how Andor was but these episodes really liked to linger on a few moments I don't feel it needed to, the highway scene for example.
The acting is also fine, characters are little wooden but nothing off puttting. Huyang is great thought, love his lines.
Nevertheless, this feels very much a piece of classic star wars media, even the designs evoke that aesthetic language of the 90s-2000s period, which I prefer. Hope it keeps that level.

As a side bit. I don't know how to feel about the new E wing. There's stuff I like about the new design and some I preferred in the older interpretations. The top canon for example, protected astromech, really gave it a distinct look. The new design is very good, might be a runner up for my top 10 in the fighter category but I can't help but feel it can be a little generic as far star wars designs go

Here's a comparison

[valid blaze]

It is gaming time

[rose vapor]

It's Chopping time

[solid pewter]

https://tenor.com/view/disney-pixar-the-incredibles-showtime-mr-incredible-gif-15401578

[rose vapor]

OMG Jacen mention

[valid blaze]

Bruh lego fucked up big time

Jacen still got that interspecies abomination green hair

[rose vapor]

Nah I think the guy was just color blind

[valid blaze]

I love how these fighters legit look like ww2 fighter planes, even sound like them

[rose vapor]

HUYANG NOOOO

Ooooo Purrgil

[valid blaze]

I really liked huyang saying sabine fits in with ahsoka jedi lineage. Because she honestly does

not a lot happened this episode, but Honestly it was still really good. Lot of great character moment's and dynamics between the cast

[wary needle]

I enjoyed this episode much more than the first two

Kinda weird Sabine is like “how am I supposed to fight if I can’t see” when she literally saw Kanan manage

I bet some people online will be mad we didn’t see the door close behind Ahsoka when she re-entered the ship from outer space

[valid blaze]

Also nice to already have confirmation that the eye thing is a hyperspace ring. Now I'm sure its for the Chimaera

[rose vapor]

Chopper♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[valid blaze]

Will also bet the T-16 gonna bite it soon. So they'll have an excuse to use the ghost

And that sabine will use the force in either her rematch with shin or by the end of the season.

[wary needle]

Also nice to see Genevieve O’Reilly as Mon Mothma again. Was partially worried the shot from the trailer might be a flashback since they’ve been so weird about recasting in this part of the timeline

Senator Xiono showing some Star Wars Resistance one might say

[ashen pivot]

It’s probably different, but it seems odd sabine is so doubtful of blind combat, considering Kanan did fine?

[wary needle]

Maybe she’s doubting herself being as capable

Kanan had more years of training

[rose vapor]

Yeah like where's the CGI Caroline Blakiston with a AI voice

[valid blaze]

Kanan had the force though, sabine believes she's hopeless at it

[wary needle]

Return of the theme from the end of Rebels when the purrgil showed up

[marble epoch]

It's a self doubt issue because she hasn't been able to use the Force like she's seen Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka do

[valid blaze]

I wonder what non rebels watchers reaction to hera having a human child is though
Since I'm pretty sure jacen the first explicit mixed species character in the live action stuff

[ashen pivot]

Just the way she reacted seemed less unsure of herself, and more “how the hell can you fight without sight? Lmao.” Probably just me though

[wary needle]

I do think maybe the dialogue there could’ve been tweaked a bit

[marble epoch]

I need to double check but Jacen seemed like he had a very dark tint of green in his hair

[ashen pivot]

It was

[wary needle]

Also didn’t like how her line was almost verbatim Luke’s line with the blast shield down

[ashen pivot]

It’s hard to see in movement, but it’s definitely green standing still

[valid blaze]

Now lets see if they slapped ugly prosthetic ears on the child

[marble epoch]

LEGO LIED?!?!?

[wary needle]

Jacen should’ve been CGI again

[marble epoch]

Same art style

[wary needle]

Would’ve been like that deleted Hulk scene from Endgame

[ashen pivot]

Doesn’t he have normal ears?

[marble epoch]

With green tint on the tips

[ashen pivot]

Yeah that’s just a simple paint job

[marble epoch]

Still, Jacen got an insane glow up from Rebels lmao

[ashen pivot]

I wonder how mixed race breeding is viewed in the galaxy

[marble epoch]

Also..
Senator Xiono.... The one Resistance fan is living high on life right now

[ashen pivot]

And how far can they go?

[rose vapor]

Cut Lawquane's kids are, I believe those kids wrote a book about him

Wait no Cut is the stepfather

[wary needle]

I don’t think Cut’s their biological dad

Unless growth acceleration passed on lmao

[marble epoch]

I'm convinced Hera's line from the trailer "Once a Rebel, always a Rebel" will be her taking the Ghost and ditching the New Republic to help Ahsoka and Sabine

[ashen pivot]

He wasn’t the father?

[rose vapor]

Went on Wookiepedia

[wary needle]

It was so early in the war it would’ve been a stretch for him to be the dad

[valid blaze]

Yeah, since one I'm like 60% sure clones are infertile and two, the time doesn't work. Since cut would have only been there for a year or 2 at most

[marble epoch]

It's implied he is, but timeline does not work

[ashen pivot]

Oh true

[wary needle]

I kinda wish they’d retconned the clone wars being longer than three years lol

[ashen pivot]

Well too late now

[marble epoch]

So much happens in those three years it's ridiculous

[wary needle]

Makes it weird when Dooku says “I told you everything on Geonosis all those years ago”

[ashen pivot]

Also what you wanna bet one of those senators is a spy?

[rose vapor]

Like it wasn't even half a decade bruh

A dollar

[wary needle]

Like how in Mando season 3 there were the spies?

[marble epoch]

Also Anakin only has a padawan for like.... Two years max

[ashen pivot]

They just seemed sussy when thrawn was brought up. The talkative one was very dismissive of thrawn living. But also seems too obvious. I think it’s the duo on the left

[valid blaze]

Nah, it would have been at least 2 years and 6-ish months.
Like that movie really early in the clone wars

[rose vapor]

Like 5 months after AOTC

[valid blaze]

Also I love how everybody in the clone wars talks like the battle of geonosis was several years ago when the second one happens. When in reality it was like less than a year ago

[wary needle]

God I hate the timeline lmao

In the novel Dark Disciple Boba is described as looking like he’s in his late teens

[ashen pivot]

Don’t forget the war forced them to progress quicker. If things seemed rushed, it wasn’t a willing choice. Explains why the Jedi weren’t as well taught too

[valid blaze]

Well that was the explicit point

[rose vapor]

The Jedi aren't soldiers, they're peacekeepers, not meant for war, the entire Clone War showed that

[valid blaze]

The jango dna got stretched too far too quickly, which slowed the cloning process and padawans and knights were dying quicker and quicker

[wary needle]

By contrast, that new Inquisitor novel acts like only two years pass in the war and then suddenly its Order 66

[ashen pivot]

I chuckled at
“a system that’s been around for a millennium”
“And failed”

[rose vapor]

Yeah, and made a girl soldier named Sister

[valid blaze]

No she was just trans

[rose vapor]

Oh my bad

[valid blaze]

💀

[ashen pivot]

Named sister

Are we talking about omega or someone else?

[rose vapor]

Someone else

[ashen pivot]

Oh my bad

[valid blaze]

No, a clone in the padme books called sister

She was trans and named sister by her brothers, as a way to show she was accepted

[ashen pivot]

Huh. TIL

[solid pewter]

So far this episode is a massive improvement over the first two

Very good episode

[rose vapor]

It's very promising so far

[tired vector]

I think Lego just gave Jacen brown hair cause they're cheap as shit and didn't want to mold it in a different colour

[valid blaze]

I can kinda understand, since he's only in one set. But with the price you'd think they'd go for it

[rose vapor]

Common Lego L

[wary needle]

Think it was in the Brotherhood novel actually

[wary needle]

Maybe Lego are secretly Jacen Solo stans

[solid pewter]

It’s weird idk if anyone else feels this way but this episode felt the most like a typical Rebels/Clone Wars episode

Like, Filoni’s live action stuff doesn’t usually give those vibes

[valid blaze]

Nope, queens hope

[wary needle]

Oh wait she was in both books

[rose vapor]

Especially when Ahsoka just put on a space suit and went into space

[wary needle]

I don’t know why I didn’t remember her being in the other

[solid pewter]

Anakincore

[wary needle]

Yeah it definitely felt more like the animated shows in that sequence

Which is what I was missing from the first two episodes

[rose vapor]

Ong

[solid pewter]

I’m also happy about the new ships

Honestly got tired if the main characters’ ship being chased by TIE fighters

[valid blaze]

Every day that lego set with shin and her ship looks more appealing. But god that price 💀

[solid pewter]

I would get it just for the Shin figure

[rose vapor]

I need a Shin TBS or TVC figure

[valid blaze]

I'll wait and see If it gets a price drop by the end of the year. If not I'll either say fuck it or wait for the May 4th sale

[solid pewter]

It’s crazy to me how wildly different the quality of the first two episodes and this one are

[wary needle]

Yeah I wonder if they noticed while they were being made

[marble epoch]

This show is implying that any Joe Schmoe across the street could move things with the Force with enough training and discipline

Which for the record, I love

I love the implication that anyone can be a Jedi and that the Jedi order were wrong for only going based on midichlorian counts

[crystal pebble]

I'm still trying to figure out why jacen looks human

[marble epoch]

Science

[crystal pebble]

But we have seen Twi'lek human hybrids before. They showed it in the cone wars.

[marble epoch]

Eh

Think about the time table there

Cut was likely the step father

[hoary tiger]

I love the cone wars

[crystal pebble]

True

[marble epoch]

Besides, Jacen's design translate to live action way better than those kids lol

[crystal pebble]

Also true

[marble epoch]

I just think it's the same reason Spock just looks Vulcan even though hes half human

Different franchise, same concept

[wary needle]

Star Wars implying human genetics are more dominant than alien genetics 💀

[marble epoch]

Wait

No

[crystal pebble]

Lmao

[crystal pebble]

Was an okay episode ig

Too much ship action imho

Not enough story, and the dialogue and acting, especially in the NR scene, felt a little unnatural at times

Not a criticism, but I found it funny how a failed padawan made for a poor teacher
Sabine now knows how Ezra felt

[wary needle]

Yeah it’s especially funny that Kanan, being a failed Padawan turned teacher, ended up dying, thus reinforcing how much of a failure he is lolmao

[crystal pebble]

Damn, that's brutal

[wary needle]

There’s a reason it’s called Star Wars: Ahsoka and not Star Wars: Kanan. 😎

[grand thunder]

Fine episode. Like Icefarrow said a lot of action but that's about all I took from the episode, wanted some more story. Was cool to see Jacen and Purgills in live action, funny that they kept the green hair for Jacen lol

[wary needle]

I actually feel like there was plenty of talking and the action didn’t come until way later

And like, I cared every minute

[crystal pebble]

At least they toned down the hair, and got rid of the green eyebrows and chimp ears lol

Also found it a bit weird how Mothma wouldn't even spare like one ship to scout Tanaab

If it gets destroyed, that's worth investigating, and if they get info back, that's worth investigating
Seems like a win/ win to me, except for the poor pilot that is 💀

[crystal pebble]

But Kanan wasn't a failure as a padawan.. sure he was young but not a failure. Have you guys ever read A New Dawn? Or the comics?

There is no way a child who hadn't completed his training would be able to take on a bunch of clone troopers by himself. If anything his master Deppa Bilaba failed him.

He definitely wouldn't be able to go head to head with the bad batch. Or the psycho marksman cross hair after him. After everything he's been through I don't think he's a failure. He's been through a lot just like most people. And he doesn't get much credit for his accomplishments nor did he ever seek it.

[marble epoch]

Ahsoka floating in space saying "did you fix the ship yet?" is hilarious to me

Part of it is thats literally something Anakin would've done to her lmao

[marble epoch]

Not really fair, she tried to hold them off long enough for him to get away

[marble epoch]

But I can totally picture Anakin going out on the ships wing making Ahsoka fix the ship and float by asking if she fixed it yet

It was just a very Anakin thing she did lol

[crystal pebble]

True but my point is that Caleb was young but not a failure

[wary needle]

It’s actually Denab right? I thought they said that at first but the subtitles said this

[crystal pebble]

Oh? Weird
Thanks for the correction

[wary needle]

Apparently it first appeared in some video game called Star Wars: Rebellion

[crystal pebble]

I don't mean a failure as in he couldn't do anything right
I meant failure as in his training was incomplete
Regardless of whether his failure was due to situations outside of his control or not, being incapable of completing your training is still a form of failure

[crystal pebble]

I see I guess that's true

Even so yoda saw something in him. Enough to grant him the title of Master

[valid blaze]

Jacen has a tiny version of kanan shoulder armour 😭

[crystal pebble]

I know 😭

[solid pewter]

Jacen’s design is thankfully bot awful in live-action

Good god when I saw him in Rebels for the first timr

[crystal pebble]

I know I was happy to see him not look like a monkey 😅

[wary needle]

Throwback to when one of my classmates thought “Jacen” was pronounced “Jake-en”

[plain iris]

Alright, the dogfight was fun, I like how the ships look like WW2 fighters, and the callback was alright, even though it's weird how Sabine is reacting to the blinder training as though it was the first time doing it when that was literally the first bit of actual training obi wan gave to Luke, like did ahsoka just never do that? I mean it could be Sabine just finds it impractical but I didn't feel the scene was very clear on that.
I also liked the brief senator meeting.
However, does anyone else feel like so far Sabine is more of a main character than Ahsoka is? Like she has the same character role as Qui gon or Obi wan in AoT, where they are more just the old master doing stuff but there's not much in terms of actually exploring their character and personal thoughts? We get that, on brief moments but it doesn't seem enough to call this show "Ahsoka". From these 3 eps I kinda feel like this show should have been called "The Lost Chiss" or something to that effect.

Hopefully we get more on Ahsoka specifically with the Baylan confrontation

[valid blaze]

I mean, this was always sabine story, ahsoka probably just the only way they could get it made

[plain iris]

Then why call it Ahsoka?

[crystal pebble]

Cause Ahsoka is still the lead

Sabine is the character the whole story revolves around, but Ahsoka is the storyteller in a sense

[plain iris]

I mean, I'd disagree with that, and still think you should have called it something else

[wary needle]

It be like making a show about Din Djarin and calling it Boba Fett Book or whatever

[valid blaze]

my guess is that Disney wouldn't greenlight a true rebels sequel. But they would a ahsoka show. So they basically just used ahsoka to make it happen

[plain iris]

That's very unfortunate

[wary needle]

To me it feels like an ensemble show so far

Like in Andor, Cassian is supposedly the main character. But there’s so much going on with multiple characters that I don’t really see him as the primary focus

[crystal pebble]

This is just how legacy stories work
You start off with an established character and slowly have the other take over

Also, I feel like Sabine is really just the focus for this season

[plain iris]

I also think Andor could have gone by a different name like "Shadows of the rebellion" for example.

[crystal pebble]

Familiarity sells
Shadow of the Rebellion means little, whereas Andor is recognisable

[plain iris]

One big complaint by people is that centering a show around a character barely remembered was bad marketing

Andor isn't recongnizable, that's why so much of the show's popularity came from word of mouth

[wary needle]

Should’ve been titled Star Wars: Saw

[rose vapor]

Hear me out please

[wary needle]

Cringe titles

[echo sapphire]

i’m listening

[echo sapphire]

so who is that character then

[crystal pebble]

Kaz's dad

The guy from Resistance
"Hur dur, show for 5 year olds sucks
Ain't I a cool adult?"

[tired vector]

Just as annoying as his son

[crystal pebble]

[wary needle]

Kinda wish Kaz’s dad had died (n)ot (g)onna (l)ie

I think Resistance is another one of those mistitled shows. Like, yeah, the characters do show some Resistance, but the organization itself is not as involved in the show as the title might lead one to believe

Star Wars: Colossus would’ve made more sense. But again, the name doesn’t sound familiar enough I guess

[tired vector]

Resistance as a whole felt very rushed and ill-conceived. I think Disney just wanted an animated show to tie into the sequels before the trilogy concluded and shat that out quick

And I don't think it being a kid's show deflects any criticism towards it. You could show the same demographic of young kids Star Wars Rebels but that show actually had substance

[wary needle]

It also felt like something they wanted to put out to fill in the lull in animation between Rebels and TCW season 7

But once Mando premiered they were burying the final episodes and not really promoting much

I think the show has fun comedy but is a missed opportunity plot wise. I never found Tam’s arc and choices believable and it’s disappointing that they didn’t get more involved with the actual Resistance

Also missed opportunity to show Kix with the Crimson Corsair

Why does nobody wanna tell more stories about Kix in this era? 😭

[wise maple]

That smug prick was THIS GUY?

[wary needle]

The resemblance is uncanny

They’re both holograms

Just finished Episode 3. This episode was amazing and thrilling. I don't know what to say about the storyline and also the plot and subplot, but I loved so much when Sabine was training with Ahsoka and Huyang, and there was also a dogfight between T-6 Shuttle and Morgan Elsbeth's forces.

[main ledge]

cool space fight

👍

the first few min i was not feeling at all lowkey

literally purely shit we’ve seen before

see with more than your eyes woooo feeeeel where i am oooo darkness gives you power but makes u lose balance uuuuooouu

and like, i dont have a problem with them calling ahsoka a jedi all the time even tho she technically isnt, cuz she basically is. but its like they only occasionally reference the fact that she doesnt abide by traditional jedi norms. i wanna see her train someone in a more unorthodox way

not just blind helmet scene again

but. cool ship go wee

the dogfight was cool in that it wasnt very interesting location wise(just in open space) and it relied on like actual maneuvers and shit to be engaging

[main ledge]

I just love how when Sabine gives up it just cuts to the cup like it’s smiling

Why does he look like CGI in this pic? 🤔

[solid pewter]

Regardless of the medium, Jacen will just not look real

[rose vapor]

Looks like a Detroit: Become Human screencap

[crystal pebble]

Photoshop cutout onto the same generic background we've seen a million times before

[viscid sage]

it looks like they took a pic when he wasnt ready like he was distracted or something lmao

[latent crag]

At least he doesn't look like an Oompa Loompa anymore...

[wary needle]

Why no AP-5 in this show?

😡

[viscid sage]

APeez nuts

[crystal pebble]

Or rebels session 5

[crystal pebble]

I agree 💯

[viscid sage]

if this show was called “the lost chiss” no one except us neckbeards would have watched it lmao

[crystal pebble]

I suppose that's true

I have watched every star wars ever. Even the stuff that I thought was bad but as a fan I have to give it a chance and at least watch everything once.

[viscid sage]

review of ewoks cartoon now

[plain iris]

I was just spitballing. I wouldn't call it that obviously

[wary needle]

Star Wars: The Lost Jedi

[turbid drum]

Probably it was, I wouldn't be suprised if Ahsoka tried very basic three-year-old padawan stuff or meditation stuff for a while and then threw the tovel or just kinda drifted away doing stuff around the galaxy and never returned.
She probably decided she had to force it a bit this time.

Frankly, as someone who did some literary analysis, is not exactly clear cut who the main character is in a story and it mustn't necessarily be the main character.

[plain iris]

I mean I don't have much of problem with story itself not being centred around mainly ahsoka but the title is a bit misdirecting

[turbid drum]

Frankly I don't get the complaint, I'm always hearing it lately and I can only think that superheroes just conditioned people to always assume the title character is also the main character.

[plain iris]

I mean suppose you have a movie titled Dracula, but it's actually mainly about Frankenstien, with Dracula being a side character taht helps around. So far the show has little to do with Ahsoka as a character, it's more about the search for thrawn and ezra, with the main personal conflict being sabine's. Like Rebels wasn't called Kanan, TCW, wasn't obi wan kenobi.
Andor did the same thing, and while I like the show a lot I think it didn't do much in terms of being reflective of the content on top of not being the best marketing.
I'm not saying the show should have been about Ahsoka, but I think it could have used a more creative title

[viscid sage]

yeah you can really tell just how rebels s5 it is lmao

[rose vapor]

Also us not seeing Sabine and Ahsoka's relationship and how we never saw they're original training gives me PTSD of TBOBF with Cad Bane and Boba Fett's rivalry hitching off an unfinished Clone Wars arc

[viscid sage]

dude i was wondering ab that

i was wondering if maybe i just missed smth bc i havent seen all of rebels

[rose vapor]

Nope, Sabine and Ahsoka barely interact in S2 and the finale

[plain iris]

I must admit Sabine having force sensitivity is very out of nowhere. Did Hyuang test her midis and was like "Eh there might be something here"?

[viscid sage]

yeah what is that about

[plain iris]

Is she like Chirrut level?

[viscid sage]

why does she need jedi training, i dont understand how that enhances her character

could they not think of anything else for her to do

[rose vapor]

Those haven't been mentioned outside of TPM

[viscid sage]

tcw mentions them

but they’re pretty much irrelevant

[plain iris]

I mean like it or not, the "talent" Ahsoka mentions is pratically speaking midi count that establishes how naturally you're connected to the force

I guess they tried to make something out of her sword training but it's still weird how that came about

[wary needle]

Also in The Mandalorian it’s referred to as “M-count”

[viscid sage]

lol i forgot ab that

[plain iris]

Gotta say. "Peak" is not a word I like to use, but Marrok's armour tests me

[ashen pivot]

it may be the sole thing tempting me to get the lego set

which i cant even afford

bad marrok

[ashen pivot]

Wait I got the names confused

[hushed oak]

I didn't know that Senator Xiono was Kazuda's father because I'm just following Star Wars:The Clone Wars and Star Wars:Rebel. Sincerely, I haven't seen Star Wars: Resistance.

But since Wren was training with Ahsoka and Huyang,I think that she will be more concentrated and focused because I agree with what Ahsoka warns about her anger and her frustation, so I think that she must be balancing it with more practice. Her's practice was really different from Luke's training for the first time with Obi and the second training with Yoda.

[wary needle]

You know, Rangers of the New Republic, had it not been cancelled, probably would’ve been the first live-action Star Wars show where the title is not specific to a character

Now it looks like that honor will go to Skeleton Crew

[hushed oak]

@wary needle  yeah.... I can't wait to watch Skeleton Crew and also Rangers of the New Republic, and I hope that there's much more to come.

I already knew that Jacen was Kanan's son. hmmmzzz.... I would say that this series has surprising characters from Rebels...

[wary needle]

Good luck waiting for Rangers lol

I still hate that when Ahsoka was floating in space and re-entered the ship, my first thought was how a couple people were mad that in TLJ we didn’t see a door close behind Leia when she re-entered the ship

Like…do people need everything painted for them?

[hushed oak]

That scene when Ahsoka was floating in space and re-entered the ship was amazing, and the CGI was absolutely perfect.

[crystal pebble]

Yes, had an argument with this guy the other day about how Sabine received bacta even if we didn't see it
Dude was convinced she just got bandaged

[crystal pebble]

I kinda love how the guy who basically stopped the republic from aiding in the search for thrawn is still alive as of episode 9

[crystal pebble]

Eh, I disagree. I thought it was a really fun show

People's main issue with it seems to be that it was doing it's own thing and wasn't really following the storyline of all the other animated star wars shows

[main ledge]

Me when the series that is essentially a Rebels Season 5 has characters from Rebels

[valid blaze]

Funny you say that, because the original dracula novel doesn't actually focus on dracula at all
Like he's there's and fucking shit up. But the actual focus is on the people investigating and hunting him. He's really barely in it, more so given that it's also entirely written through the perspective of various journals, letters and newspaper clippings

[turbid drum]

Dracula actually appears very little in the Dracula novel, you are mostly following the human characters and their PoV.

In the movies they always add stuff (like all that reincarnationstuff in Coppola's version) because otherwise there really is not much to him.

[plain iris]

He's still the main source of conflict though

The story revolves around the threat he poses and his eventual defeat

[turbid drum]

And it's Ahsola that goes there bothering Sabine with that Thrawn shit while she was chilling on Lothal dodging public events.

[plain iris]

That's really not comparable

[valid blaze]

Eh it kinda is, sabine the focus. But ahsoka still the main catalyst for all the conflict and plot going on

[plain iris]

Not really. Baylan's activities quickstar the issues

[valid blaze]

Which wouldn't have happened without ahsoka pushing the plot forward

Ahsoka is still the driving force of the show, even If sabine the character focus

Its like how mando s3 is unarguably bo-katan story. But din still the catalyst for everything going down, though that's also being handled better here

[plain iris]

I mean all that she changed is that Morgan happened to be imprisoned when Baylan came to her. Ahsoka is just a detective character, which, so far, doesn't justify naming the show after her when the main conflict is abou something with wider in universe implications than what would matter to her specifically

[valid blaze]

Morgan getting captured also lead ahsoka directly to the map. Which you know, set off the main plot of the show. So there's more to it than your letting on. And there is also the fact ahsoka made a promise to ezra to find him, so the return of thrawn does in fact matter to her.

And I don't even 100% disagree with you. I've made it clear that I think the only reason why this is an ahsoka show is because they couldn't get a true rebels sequel Greenlit. But you're acting like there's nothing to justify the naming, when there is

[plain iris]

I think the grounds it has to justify it aren't the best

Like the promise doesn't carry nearly the same level of personal attachment as it does for Hera or Sabine. The title is very clearly more of a marketing move

[valid blaze]

I mean, fair its not the same. But ahsoka was still incredibly close with kanan and ezra, ezra even saving her life. Just because she isn't as close to him as sabine and hera doesn't make their relationship or the promise any less important

[wary needle]

Yeah was gonna say the Dracula comparison is weird because he doesn’t appear very much despite having a huge presence and influence over the narrative

[turbid drum]

Also very often characters like Batman and Dylan Dog (if you ain't Italian: look him up) have their name in the title but they aren't the protagonists of their stories.

Or even Lupin III is very often more the disruptive factor in someone else's story rather than the protagonist.

[wary needle]

Yeah for the Batman ones they sometimes focus on this Bruce Wayne guy for some reason

[turbid drum]

😛
It's actually very common to a lot of crime fiction, the main detective is more of a window into whatever mess they have to deal with rather than the real main character even if their name is in the title.
So many Batman stories are more about the villains he fights or the victims he helps rather than Batman himself.

[main ledge]

We need that as a sticker

[rose vapor]

Live Slug Reaction

[valid blaze]

Why can't it be Tuesday already 😔

[main ledge]

I keep getting the Loth Cat Appreciation Post Ad and I’m loving it

[valid blaze]

now we just need lothwolves

(i'd be surprised if they don't show up, considering its dave and they're in the credits)

[wary needle]

If they show up, Dave will need an intervention

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/starwars/images/b/b4/Voolvif2.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20070203190025

Surprised he never had this guy show up in The Clone Wars

[latent crag]

Jedi Furry! AGHHHH!

[plain iris]

That's more the liver

[wary needle]

Now do one with the Grand Inquisitor

Even though we probably don’t know his alien anatomy very well

[ashen pivot]

Yeah no they deliberately used a less lethal spot. Maybe from backlash of the other inqies, or something

[viscid sage]

inquisitor has two stomachs or some bs

[ashen pivot]

He has no stomachs. Might as well have stabbed his earlobe

[fervent skiff]

Ahsoka? more like ASS-soka amiright

[ashen pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/slap-ashoka-tano-star-wars-clone-wars-gif-17840431

[fervent skiff]

bo-katan molesting a minor (canon)

[ashen pivot]

Season 4 will be the cancelling of Bo Katan

[fervent skiff]

it es what it es

we still dont know how old bo was in TCW

bo-katans age is a mystery 😭

[ashen pivot]

Mandos are weird

[fervent skiff]

indeed

[viscid sage]

they continue the darksaber story because bo is forced to step down 💀

[ashen pivot]

Exactly

[crystal pebble]

Well this was her first appearance so shouldn't she have been cancelled since her introduction?

[rose vapor]

Tonight

[wary needle]

What are everyone’s bets on how much we’ll end up liking it?

[rose vapor]

8/10

Shin Hati material

[wary needle]

So even though the show is on soon, I just agreed to going to the market shortly with my friend with no hesitation. Lmao

[valid blaze]

Man this planets so pretty

[wary needle]

Wow. I’m really not liking Ahsoka in this

[valid blaze]

Honestly this ahsoka growing on me. I'm kinda understanding the fact she's been through a lot of shit at this point and has become more reserved

HUYANG THROWING HANDS

[rose vapor]

Doctor Huyang got hands bitch

[wary needle]

Her ultimatum about Ezra rubs me the wrong way

[valid blaze]

Idk, you can not like it. But after anakin. It makes sense for her

[wary needle]

Idk how that tracks

Feels like how she last saw Anakin is an excuse for how she should be more cynical, but shouldn’t she know from Luke that Anakin returned to the light?

[valid blaze]

THE GHOST

[valid blaze]

Eh, she can know he turned back and still have the fact she didn't do anything to help him weigh on her.

[rose vapor]

Omg Carson Teva

[valid blaze]

MARROK MY BELOVED NOOOOO

[rose vapor]

Shin Hati? More like She a Hottie

[valid blaze]

If I had a nickel for every time ahsoka killed an inquisitor and they burst like a balloon, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot. But it's weird that it happened twice

[rose vapor]

Marrok my pookie nooo

Also why tf does he just Voldemort like that?

[ashen pivot]

https://tenor.com/view/general-grievous-star-wars-gif-25054286

[valid blaze]

Lmao, sabine

Fucking baited

[grave chasm]

I guess Marrok is actually ||A fart man, like the last inqusitor we saw ashoka kill||

[valid blaze]

I wonder how baylan knows all this shit

[rose vapor]

Lucky guess

[valid blaze]

Like I assume he knows about ezra from Morgan, since he's the reason thrawn gone. But her relationship with him and what happened to clan wren? Bruh

[rose vapor]

He's a Wookiepedia reader

[valid blaze]

Its at least nice to know what happened to clan wren though. Even if basically everybody assumed this was the case

NO WAY

HOLY SHIT

So this is how we get him

10/10

[grave chasm]

||I Was not expecting for Sabine to make the wrong choice||

[valid blaze]

Nah, I expected that. It's 100% in character and a choice she'd make

[grave chasm]

True

But it's also very bold for a Disney plus star wars show

[valid blaze]

But God, HOLY SHIT

[grave chasm]

I applaud them for it

[valid blaze]

That ending

[grave chasm]

I haven't seen it

A

[valid blaze]

One a sick moment, and two a amazing transition

[rose vapor]

HOLY SHIT THE WORLD BETWEEN WORLDS HOW TF

Ani? Little Ani?

Oh my god

He's backkk

[grave chasm]

Wait what

[rose vapor]

He's so beautiful

[grave chasm]

World between worlds?

[valid blaze]

I need the next episode, like an hour ago

[rose vapor]

It looked like the World Between Worlds when Ahsoka met Anakin

[grave chasm]

Elsbeth doesn't lose at chicken

I know, but I figured that they probably wouldn't bring it back

[valid blaze]

Yeah nah that's the world between worlds

I wonder how it'll actually be used. Part of me wants to assume it'll be so ahsoka wins the fight against baylan. But idk

[rose vapor]

The portals to the walkways

[grave chasm]

Video game fast travel

That's my theory at least

[main ledge]

Man what an episode

[valid blaze]

But jokes of peak and hype aside. This was legitimately a really good episode. There was some clear plot bullshit with baylan knowing everything about sabine. But aside from that it was 10/10

[grave chasm]

Something something force

[main ledge]

Well I'm assuming he just did some force shennanigans like Kylo did though Sabine wasn't resiting like Poe was

[valid blaze]

Idk, it seemed like he legit just knew

All the ships getting fucked by the jump to hyperspace was also cool as shit

[main ledge]

My favorite thing is Star Wars is some random character starts to get a bunch of theroies and shit and everyone gets hyped up all for it to be nothing in the end

[valid blaze]

A 2nd balloon man kick the bucket

I think ahsoka a balloon racist

[main ledge]

I think it's hilarious how most of the Inquisitors think that spinning their sabers is the winning strategy and it just leads to their death

You think Marrok would know that by now since he's the last member

[valid blaze]

I mean, the theory for why the spinning exists is because 90% of them are padwans that never finished their training. So the spinning exists as a gimmick to kinda bridge the gap in skill differences

Also, what lightsaber does anakin have. It's not his original one and it doesn't quite look like vaders

Like this doesn't look like either

[grave chasm]

was he wearing a glove?

[valid blaze]

Ya

You know I hope my friend finishes rebels and starts watching this soon. Cause you will not be able to avoid this ending

This episode did handle its runtime better than last week as well though. Felt like it was actually designed around a shorter length. Instead of just ending up being that way

Also love how fucking petty shin in with sabine
Like bruh you almost killed her and she got the upper hand on you once. There is no need for you to be this much of a hater

[marble epoch]

Hayden looked off lol

But it doesn't matter

[main ledge]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they deaged him a bit

[valid blaze]

He did look a bit too smooth. I guess they took criticism of flashback anakin looking too old in kenobi to heart. But like, him look old would work here

Well, its either meh cgi or a fucking shit ton of makeup

[marble epoch]

Yeah, it doesn't matter though

[valid blaze]

If this is actually vader lightsaber though. I wonder if the blade will be white or blue

[marble epoch]

I wonder why the World Between Worlds is here

What purpose

[valid blaze]

I assume ahsoka either just slipped through or somebody purposefully dragged her in. Probably ezra

[marble epoch]

With a follow up question being, can it be used to get to the new Galaxy?

[wary needle]

I’ve never liked the World Between Worlds tbh

[valid blaze]

Either way, we'll probably get thrawn and ezra next week

[wary needle]

I’m wondering how Anakin is accomplished here. Looks kind of off.

[marble epoch]

$10 says next week is just Ahsoka and Anakin

[wary needle]

Mixed feelings about Sabine’s choice

[marble epoch]

Sabine lost everyone except Hera

I would've done the same

[valid blaze]

Hmm, I would take that bet. But footage from trailers indicate hera will be somewhat heavily present

[wary needle]

Yeah like what happened to her family?

[valid blaze]

Dead

Mandalore got glassed

[marble epoch]

They died during the Mandalore purge

[wary needle]

Cuz they were all alive in Rebels still weren’t they?

[valid blaze]

Mandalore was glassed after rebels

So they all dead

[marble epoch]

Yes but Mandalore got glassed like fox said

[wary needle]

God Mandalore gets fucked so many times that it gets confusing

[valid blaze]

But yeah nah like I said before. Sabine decision 100% makes sense for her character and the situation

[mental osprey]

I think the show has grown on me

[wary needle]

I don’t know what it is about lightsaber duels that aren’t doing it for me anymore

[marble epoch]

That is a piece of lore you realistically need to watch The Mandalorian to get, since that is a major plot point of the show

[mental osprey]

And I think Baylan is a really good antagonist

[wary needle]

Overall this episode left me feeling kinda meh. Not feeling that excited about the next one, which I’m surprised to say given what it will be

[mental osprey]

If Luke doesn’t play a part in this big Thrawn crossover I’m gonna be MAD

Better play a major role

[marble epoch]

Fox let's ask a question. Would they do Ezra and Thrawn in the same episode as Anakin?

[valid blaze]

The only part of lightsabers I don't like in this show is the lack of the motion blur shit. Aside from that its really great action. Probably some of the best and most will choreographed in the franchise

[valid blaze]

I can see it

[mental osprey]

Yeah I think these lightsabers fights are some of the best ever. Period.

It reminds me a lot of the original trilogy fights.

Also the map thingy looks cool

[valid blaze]

Depends on what ahsoka ends up doing in the world between worlds. If she changes it so she kicks baylan ass probably not. But if its anything else. I can see them doing ezra and thrawn. At least at the end

[mental osprey]

Mad they destroyed it, I wanted to use it for decoration in my room….

[valid blaze]

Alternatively ahsoka could grab the map before baylan actually destroys it.

[wary needle]

I just don’t feel invested in Shin or Baylan

[woven kayak]

I teared up at the end. Was a great episode!

[mental osprey]

I think the point of the World Between Worlds is that you can’t actually change the past, it’s that the past has always happened

[wary needle]

I know that

[mental osprey]

It’s like the time travel in Tenet where you’re not actually changing shit

[wary needle]

I still think the way Ahsoka was saved in that was bad writing

Could’ve come up with a more grounded excuse for her surviving

[mental osprey]

I mean we don’t know specifically how she was saved

Maybe she’s dead

[wary needle]

As presented it almost comes off like “You can’t save Kanan but Ahsoka gets to live”

[mental osprey]

Or maybe a Purgill ate her

[valid blaze]

You can change it to an extent. Just as long as it doesn't actually affect stuff directly. Like ahsoka getting saved doesn't really change the past that much. But kanan getting saved kills everybody. So realistically ahsoka can grab the map through the world between worlds

[mental osprey]

I think she’ll like ride a purgill or some shit to the other galaxy

Would be cool

[mental osprey]

Yeah that’s what I mean stuff that’s meant to be changed gets changed

Ahsoka riding a Purgill sounds too cool now I wanna see it

[wary needle]

Like out of universe it feels like Filoni will bend time and space to explain how Ahsoka lives

[mental osprey]

Idk it’s the same shit with Gandalf

Ahsoka is just Star Wars Gandalf imo

[wary needle]

But Gandalf didn’t have time travel

And I know it’s time travel that doesn’t change stuff but still

[woven kayak]

That was the first thing that came to mind the way she woke up in the world between worlds.

[valid blaze]

Okay but tbf, ahsoka surviving was always the plan. Even if the world between worlds wasn't a concept during season 2 of rebels

[wary needle]

Yeah I know it was the plan

I just don’t like the excuse used to execute the plan

[mental osprey]

I mean I don’t mind if it was the plan or not, I just think it works

[marble epoch]

That's not fair

Kanan made a sacrifice that was important to the plot, Ahsoka didnt

[mental osprey]

I just imagine Ahsoka came out of the portal thingy after ROTJ so now it makes sense why she wasn’t in the original trilogy

[marble epoch]

Kanan's story was over

[wary needle]

Nah Ahsoka went back to after Vader left that temple

[valid blaze]

Eh, there really no confirmation for when she came back

[mental osprey]

Yeah well in the show it’s left up to interpretation so that’s my interpretation 😃👍

[marble epoch]

It was, Dave said he set it up back in season 1 when Ezra got his kyber crystal, he went to the world between worlds, same when he talked to Yoda in season 2

[mental osprey]

I hope they do Thrawn right

They’re hyping him up a lot

[valid blaze]

Ah

[mental osprey]

They making bro seem like Thanos 💀

[wary needle]

Idk Thrawn feels nonexistent to me throughout the show so far despite then saying his name

Like the name has no weight to me

[valid blaze]

Maybe because he's not there

[wary needle]

Man idk what’s going on. Ima take a break from talking about this show. Lol

[mental osprey]

Big blue guy from old book makes rebel ships go BOOM

[marble epoch]

I don't think I've seen you say one positive thing

Which is fine

[mental osprey]

Gonna get this tatted on my rib

[marble epoch]

But some of your things you've said are stupid lol

[wary needle]

About the show or the episode?

[marble epoch]

Both

[wary needle]

The hell?

I had positive stuff to say about prt 3

[marble epoch]

To be fair I was on vacation during part 3 and didn't read this

[wise maple]

So the implication is that Sabine's brother, father and mother all died on the Night of a Thousand Tears, and Sabine gave some sort of warning to Ahsoka that was ignored or not properly gone through.

[marble epoch]

Yeah I want more clarity on that one

[cosmic cairn]

its the same as Episode 3.

[valid blaze]

It's not though? The episode 3 saber has black on the bottom and silver for the rest. This one's basically entirely black

It's a lot closer the vaders

[cosmic cairn]

you can tell by the gold button thing under the bunny ears

[valid blaze]

See

[cosmic cairn]

thats what it looks like to me

episode 3

[valid blaze]

There's still a completely different colour scheme going on here though

[cosmic cairn]

shadows are a thing

[valid blaze]

Yeah, but its very clearly just black

Since the band bit in the in the middle still appearing as silver while the rest is blacm

The only bit that's actually appearing black because of the shadows is the gaps in-between the pieces attached to the bottom that I can't remember the term for

[cosmic cairn]

either way

i dont think its going to be different

[valid blaze]

Well see

Also just clicked that hayden called ahsoka snips and didn't make it sound cringe 😭

[cosmic cairn]

it was pretty dope

https://tenor.com/view/happy-tears-gif-25605273

my reaction

[wise maple]

it was a good moment.

[cosmic cairn]

i hope this becomes a meme format

im sure it has been talked about. i dont think she is dead

[valid blaze]

The plot twist is ahsoka never goes back to the star wars universe and decides to chill in fortnite

[cosmic cairn]

https://tenor.com/view/kabangu-upset-annoyed-gif-14814728

[valid blaze]

You know it would be funny if they made ahsoka avaliable in fortnite next week instead of on the 26th. That way this joke could technically be true

Legit though, marrok being a fart cloud after people spent weeks heavily theorising who he was, is beyond funny

[viscid sage]

wow sabine is fucking dumb 💀

pretty good ep tho

[viscid sage]

the gap between this and rebels is so empty and frankly its weird

them just kinda mentioning both sabine’s training with ahsoka and her family dying as if it’s stuff we’ve seen is so strange

[grand thunder]

Well that episode definitely advanced the plot a lot oh boy. Funny as hell that Marrok did end up being a nobody lmao. You know Sabine handing over the sphere was a "Come on!" moment but yeah that's something the character would do. That ending definitely very intriguing but yeah Hayden looked weird, dunno what that's about lol

[crystal pebble]

I was so glad Sabine listened to Baylan

Like fucking finally we don't get a cliche last minute cop out

Was also nice to see some more dramatic saber fights, and the smoke bomb was pretty cool

Ahsoka's defeat was kinda dumb though lol

Appreciated the jumps in that fight though, nice to see some more variety

I like the direction they've taken Ahsoka, it's grown on me
A nice alternative to the happy go lucky Din and Grogu relationship

I wonder what this Anakin is meant to be, because it could not be his ghost as he'd have no injuries
Perhaps it's the Force adopting his image to speak to her, like the Grand Inquisitor in Rebels season 2
His Jedi self knighted Kanan, but the comics revealed his ghost was trapped by Vader

[solid pewter]

That was a decent episode although Sabine giving the map was stupid as hell

[crystal pebble]

I disagree, literally everyone but Hera is dead
Ezra is like one of her only family left

You can understand her decision

Also, Hera bringing her kid into battle

She's like if I die, my kid doesn't deserve to live 💀

[valid blaze]

You know thinking about it, the fart cloud kinda looked like nightsister magik. So I'm gonna assume marrok was a dead inquisitor Morgan revived

[rose vapor]

Yeah cause what are the chances of an Inquisitor still being live that hadn't been killed by Vader or another Jedi

[valid blaze]

I like how to an extent ahsoka turning round to see/reveal anakin mirrors vader turning to see/reveal ahsoka in twilight of the apprentice

[rose vapor]

Also reminds me of the last time they saw each other in the Clone Wars final arc

Anakin looks so poorly photoshopped in Masterbuilt's edits are higher-quality than this

[turbid drum]

It's also possible that his species is one of those that do weird things when they die. Neimodians for example end up looking like their battle droids (which are basically designed to look like an army of zombies) when they die.

Beings brought back to life via magicks have no soul, they're just mindless zombies
It's likely he just got juiced up like Savage

[ashen pivot]

He was a smoke man in a suit

[wise maple]

Like this?

[valid blaze]

You can tell shin a post order 66 force user, because she didn't watch those wrist rockets

[ashen pivot]

Sure

[raven sentinel]

Not gonna lie, seeing the Ghost in live action is pretty hype. I know we’ve seen it before but it being front and center is really cool

[ashen pivot]

I hope we get to see more interior

[valid blaze]

Its hit me that I don't think we've seen morai yet. Maybe she'll be the the world between worlds like she was in rebels

I actually do wonder if we'll get anything with the mortis gods though. They're heavily linked to the world between worlds. So it could happen

[grand thunder]

What has Dave cooked?

[ashen pivot]

Everyone is so mean 2 me 💔

[crystal pebble]

Nah, it was green smoke like the Nightsister magicks, and his body didn't vanish

[latent crag]

I'm glad Marrok wasn't a returning character, him being just a reanimated dead Inquisitor Is interesting enough to me. I kind of hope they explore that in later episodes, where they just keep bringing him back, unable to rest and it's sheer torture for him.

[rose vapor]

Shin forgive me

[marble whale]

Baylan has been on the screen for 4 episodes and is already more threatening than Moff Gideon was in three seasons lol

In terms of Marrok I am not disappointed he wasn’t revealed to be gulp shitto of the year more so that they introduced another random masked Inquistor just to randomly get offed by Ahsoka

The Anakin deaging was definitely a choice but hopefully they can carry some good scenes from it
