wait

#

what if

#

it's not anakin

#

it's vader

bold narwhal
#

I want it to be actually Anakin in this timeline

#

Like where he’s at in the moment

#

The same way if he showed up as a force ghost to her

blazing lagoon
#

during the ideas stage of TFA, before a script was finalized (and before anything about Last Jedi was worked on) there was concept art of Vader's essence against Anakin's ghost

bold narwhal
#

Yeah I remember reading that

#

Would’ve been interesting

#

And better than not using him at all

#

😭

#

knock some sense into ur grandson boi

blazing lagoon
#

Blame jj abrams and his prequel hate boner

spark quartz
#

Interesting to see “jedi” with armor inspired by actual knights rather than samurai style stuff or monk style robes

blazing lagoon
#

huh

#

if you search Baylan in Tenor gifs there's already ones from today's ep

#

although it's been about five hours

blazing lagoon
rain oasis
#

any idea why his saber is so dark?

#

doesn't look like the regular ol ep 3 saber

#

its like black

sinful hatch
#

Just watched the latest episode

#

Damn it was a good one

spring ivy
#

odd

sinful hatch
#

Tf was marrok about? Undead night sister like in fallen order?

blazing lagoon
sinful hatch
#

Yeah it’ll only be dark because it’s surrounded by black/dark material

rain oasis
#

but maybe ur right

sinful hatch
#

Black doesn’t reflect light

rain oasis
# spring ivy

its def the ep 3 hilt, just looks darker than usual

spring ivy
blazing lagoon
#

There's barely enough light to begin with AND it's obscured

spring ivy
#

if it was all dark that would make sense

#

but the center is light af

blazing lagoon
#

Master Replica ROTS hilt didn't chrome it

spring ivy
#

hmm

sinful hatch
blazing lagoon
#

That one was plastic

spring ivy
#

anyone think hes gonna turn to vader

tacit prairie
spring ivy
#

we got the vader theme at the end before credits

sinful hatch
#

Also

#

The sabers all sounded fantastic

spring ivy
#

nvm, its 100% graflex

spring ivy
#

after seeing the 4k version

tacit prairie

#

I think that's what he means

acoustic zealot
#

both the start and end of this episode got me hyped

#

first it's David Tennant saying affirmative, most likely refrencing K9 from Doctor Who and then Hayden in the World Between Worlds

sinful hatch
#

I’m so hyped for the next episode

acoustic zealot
#

same

#

imagine Ahsoka finding the portal to Ezra and just waiting there for Morgan to arrive and her then be like "how tf?"

broken forge
#

Oh lord the CGI

#

wasn’t terrible this time but his eyes look off? Or just me

red ibex
#

holy shit

#

I nvr thought I'd see actual kenjutsu in Star wars one day

#

The lightsaber combats were always inspired. But Ahsoka with her forms are just kenjutsu for reals.

#

also Marrok being a complete nobody hahaha. I saw it coming

ionic lodge
#

Is it wrong that I’m annoyed with Sabine

sinful hatch
#

made it look a bit flat and smooth

ionic lodge
#

The CGI did disappoint me this time

red ibex
ionic lodge
#

What does cis mean

#

Banger episode tbh

#

It’s just that Sabine annoyed me a bit

#

I felt that she wouldn’t have gave him the mcguffin

#

Considering all the hard decisions she had to make in rebels

fast gale
ionic lodge
#

Am I the only one?

fast gale
ionic lodge
#

Anyways let Dave cook

#

Interesting to see how this goes

broken forge
acoustic zealot
#

I say she's just as stubborn as in Rebels

barren thicket
#

Marrok slaying reminded me of Ahsoka killing the Inquisitor in Tales of the Jedi

fast gale
#

bruh I thought that entire ahsoka episode was some sort of vision

#

dude deflated like a balloon

#

wtf are these inquisitors

acoustic zealot
#

at least all the theories on who Marrok is are over

fast gale
#

it feels like a psychedelic dream, reminds me of that one clone wars episode with evil yoda

acoustic zealot
#

he was some random Nightsister zombie is all he was

fast gale
#

was he?

acoustic zealot
#

idk, but the green smoke he emmited did imply nightsister magic

barren thicket
#

Anakin looking so bad because the Marrok dust hasn’t fully settled into Anakin form

acoustic zealot
#

ye his de-aging CGI was horrible

#

modern Star Wars CGI is soo good, how does de-aging look so bad

#

can't really deepfake some other actor either, cause Hayden's still alive

#

wait, deepfake Hayden with himself lol

tranquil elm
#

I disagree, I think it looks good and way better than what they did in Kenobi

red ibex
brittle peak
#

I’m cool with the deaging. It’s not the best but it’s good enough for me. What I’m not okay with is the Grand Inquisitor in Kenobi. That was just horrible

acoustic zealot
tranquil elm
#

Exactly

#

Which is why it was worse

acoustic zealot
#

I don't even think CGI is needed, plenty of makeup can do wonders too, right?

tranquil elm
#

Not really, they kinda tried that with both Ani and Obi in that flashback scene and both still looked like 50 year olds

acoustic zealot
#

ah

fast gale
tranquil elm
#

That was an exaggeration for sure but they looked old for sure lol

fast gale
#

like I agree he doesn't fit here

#

def not a padawan lol

#

should've done cgi here

#

looks like a more mature Ani

tranquil elm
#

Looks older than ROTS too

fast gale
#

also wtf is up with marrok

#

wtf was he

#

also this guy

#

is this a person or what

brittle peak
fast gale
#

I legit thought it was a vision of somekind cause of how they deflate once defeated like how obi wan died

brittle peak
#

Obi Wan wasn’t a vision though. He sublimated into force

fast gale
#

I know

#

but it makes it a bit confusing when it comes to the inquisitors

#

when defeated there is usually a corpse

brittle peak
#

At this point in time inquisitors should all be dead I think

fast gale
#

but with some inquisitors they dissipate or vanish

river willow
#

I hope we never get an answer

brittle peak
#

That sounds spiteful lol. I’ve never seen someone hope to not get answers

#

😅

river willow
#

Nah not spiteful

#

Just want some things to be unexplained so there is some mystery

hybrid saffron
#

the green dust/smoke made me think it was supposed to be a nightsister conjure

acoustic zealot
#

buddy grew up around space wizards but a green flame and a holographic map is witchcraft

river willow
#

I mean, they're witches

#

It is witchcraft lol

acoustic zealot
#

yes, but he acts surprised

polar raven
#

And baylan, some nobody former jedi is giving her problems…

#

When she was in rebels and basically trounced those two inquisitors without even trying really. Feels inconsistent

ionic lodge
#

I feel like ahsoka’s power level has been underwhelming in live action, I mean it makes for interesting storytelling instead of her steamrolling everyone but it doesn’t make sense at the same time

acoustic zealot
#

what if, Baylan came to Vader after order 66 and managed to survive by being trained by Vader?

#

similar to Starkiller

river willow
#

He's back

polar vessel
blazing lagoon
#

Speculation based on the credits sequence, which has several lines converging on a single point: the multiple paths all racing to the galaxy far far away

  1. The Halo of The Ring of The Eye of Sion using technology
  2. Ahsoka using magic through the WBW to travel
  3. Hera and the New Republic using nature by following the Purgill as Jacen gets a Force Telegram from Ahsoka to chart the course and talk to the Star Whales
  4. ||Chopper. That is all.||
sinful hatch
#

I agree with 4.

blazing lagoon
#

It makes sense

sharp harbor
#

just had the same idea. like wtf it just fell off. wondering if they had that happen just to expose her face

blazing lagoon
#

I have never seen a Mandalorian with a chinstrap in their helmet

#

They just throw on a bucket and go to work

hybrid saffron
#

piggybacking off of this i compiled some crude comparisons of stances from kenjutsu/arts of japanese swordsmanship

#

reminds me of how kendo had an influence on the OT fights

blazing lagoon
#

I keep seeing variations of "she can break me" with this today

#

Anyways

acoustic zealot
#

another thing, the Ghost is flatter in Ahsoka than it is in Rebels

#

why

bold narwhal
#

I think Anakin is the new father maybe?

#

As the chosen one he’s still keeping balance between the daughter and the son?

formal geyser
spark quartz
# blazing lagoon

My question is in what world/way is another galaxy any indication that a multiverse is gonna be implemented

sharp harbor
#

I think critiquing the CGI too much is a waste.

#

At least for what Hayden looks like.

#

I was actually happy that Marrok was nothing.

formal geyser
#

Just smoke

sharp harbor
#

I think the series has been pretty good with using action in a way that's not just people fighting.

acoustic zealot
#

I do wish Ahsoka backhanded her sabers a bit more

brittle peak
#

Idk. She’s versatile as heck. Every episode she changes her style so much and it’s really neat. I love reverse hold but this is even more impressive. She’s grown so much

#

It’s a shame this actor passed away. He’s definitely a cool and interesting character. I’m not sure if he lives but his really the most neutral fallen Jedi I’ve seen. And he’s so calm instead of being the typical frustrated fallen Jedi. Perfect match up with Ahsoka. The only other chill ex Jedi

blazing lagoon

#

is anakins saber full chrome except the clamp is a brushed finish?
i thought the clamp had the same finish as the rest of the body but my friend says different

rain oasis
#

on the aniflex elite its the same finish on the clamp

tranquil elm
#

Depends on the prop

#

Master Prop has a brushed clamp

#

Resin casts don’t

rain oasis
#

oh nvm

#

you're saying they all are accurate because every prop they used for the movie is different?

tranquil elm
rain oasis
tranquil elm
#

It’s not very clear yet but if it is an MR then maybe

rain oasis
#

well if it was chrome it would reflect and be darker like the rest of the body

tranquil elm
#

Not necessarily. It’s hard to tell because of the lighting

#

My MR LE looks completely chromed in the dark

rain oasis
#

yeah im sure we'll get a better look next episode anyway

blazing lagoon
#

Imagine if they couldn't find his ROTS saber so props had to find and gut a Master Replica

tranquil elm
#

A lot of them were auctioned off so 🤷‍♂️

#

Including the Master prop

bold narwhal
#

seems like the only non chrome part is whatever these are called

tranquil elm
#

Knurling can be chromed, it’s just lighting that makes it seem that way

bold narwhal
#

What we should be taking ab tho is why does he have a lightsaber at all and why is he in his ep3 robes and not his robes from rotj🤔

tranquil elm
#

That’s what I’m saying, I wonder what explanation they have for that

#

Unless he’s from the past? But then why did he say “didn’t expect to see you so soon”

bold narwhal
#

I truly hope it’s really him and that force ghosts can kinda just go where they want and show up how they want

#

Maybe wearing the outfit to make ahsoka more comfortable

#

Or it’s the son fucking with ahsoka

#

or it’s a vision/hallucination type thing

#

ahsoka’s guilt manifesting

brittle peak
#

I keep forgetting when Ahsoka takes place on the timeline. The rebels crew is messing with my brain. Ahsoka seems to be in some trance in a force dimension kinda how Cal sometimes went. Im thinking this is really Anakin since after his death he went went back to this form as a ghost

sharp harbor
#

I mean it's not that hard right? This version is what ahsoka sees/remembers him as. The force ghost in rotj is his own projection.

brittle peak
#

She did see his face in Rebels

#

She saw him as Vader

sharp harbor
#

Right which has been discussed that Vader and Anakin are two different people. Even though they're not.

brittle peak
#

If it’s her subconscious then it could be her memory of him. That’s equally a possibility at this point.

But it’s also possible it’s a force situation

brittle peak
#

They tried. But they keep having conflict about it

sharp harbor
#

The Jedi Masters can say what they want. This particular group is very emotionally invested in each other.

#

And I'm sure that what ahsoka is going through is some sort of force hallucination.

river willow
#

Anakin had some trouble manifesting as a force ghost a bit later on in the timeline. I wonder if the WBW is used as like a force ghost training ground

formal geyser
#

Everyone talking about TWBW and not the most important thing in Ahsoka.......why doesn't Shin blink?

sharp harbor
#

honestly haven't noticed that.

They really should have stuck with what they did with Hayden in Kenobi.

tranquil elm
queen jackal
#

I mean 40 years old is preferable to me lol. At least it won't look even worse in the future

#

Which is weird cause I thought it looked spectacular in BoBF with Luke

tranquil elm
#

I thought I would like since I liked it with Better Call Saul, but seeing Padawan Ani look 40 just looks weird

#

I think we still need to wait til next episode to see whats up

#

Maybe we'll get a CW flashback

queen jackal
#

I heard rumors of a big flashback but it sounds ludicrous

#

Then again they're showing it in theaters lol

#

But if they do that I don't think 40ish minutes would be enough

Y'all just want to get stepped on don't you lol

My daughter and I are looking to do cosplays of Baylan and Shin. You hornballs are making me reconsider.

Gotta be honest, I don't particularly find her like hot lol

#

Like she's cute yeah. So is Sabine and Others

#

It's weird cause when it comes to Star Wars my hot meter seems to turn off

Like if my child side takes over and wants to enjoy cool space opera

I think there's only one exception to that rule for me

#

star wars twitter has uploaded him in 4K

#

it's clearly the ROTS

queen jackal
#

He looks older in that pic

blazing lagoon
#

yep he's got wrinkles

queen jackal
#

So they only deage him for close ups?

#

Hmm

#

I like how he looks there lol

blazing lagoon
#

allegedly, the deaging is better in the next episode

#

allegedly

queen jackal
#

Hopefully

queen jackal
#

Cause it did not look too hot imo. But maybe it will look better!

tranquil elm
#

It’s dark and not silver, therefore Vader’s Saber

sharp harbor
#

Honestly the deaging didn't bother me at all

tranquil elm
#

Same

sharp harbor
#

I just saw Anakin there it was like oh I wonder what lesson he's going to teach ahsoka.

queen jackal
#

I just think it could look better lol

sharp harbor
#

Oh I'm sure it could look better. But it's not what I'm going to nitpick about.

queen jackal
#

It was funny seeing some people go

ITS ANAKIN!

to

Oooh the deaging...

#

Wow people really are sure that it's a new hilt

#

Like they're saying it's a Vader/Anakin fusion Graflex lol

tacit prairie
#

MPFlex?

tranquil elm
#

Maybe people are NOW just finding out Anakin’s EP3 is different from the OT Graflexes and that’s where the confusion is

tacit prairie
#

That does seem to happen a fair amount here

queen jackal

Wait til Anakin reveals the actual lightsaber next episode

So strange, seems like de aging would’ve been easier to do far away when he’s not really emoting

No clue if it was intentional or not but it definitely feels like the writers made should Sabine’s stab was placed somewhere non fatal

#

Also Finn got his entire spine slashed but lived after likely months of medical treatment so it’s not like

#

It’s not like lightsabers got nerfed or whatever people are saying

It’s almost as if medical technology has advanced in 20 years

I mean, it’s almost as if the wounds were delivered in different places under different circumstances resulting in different outcomes

DUDE NO

fuck now I can't unsee it

#

The reason I think the one he’s using is a Master Replicas is because under dark lighting the MR looks like this:

#

You can barely tell the clamp is aluminum vs chromed

acoustic zealot
#

I'm willing to accept this

acoustic zealot
#

I have to wait till tomorrow due to timezones 🫠

#

Assuming you mean Ahsoka

#

Cause today is also the day they officially revealed the Venator!

I'm not 100% sure what happened. But that was awesome!

#

I sobbed

#

I need to know what was going on with Anakin tho like

#

Need more Anakin

#

I was really hoping he was the father but 🤷‍♂️

blazing lagoon
#

Live action Ahsoka without a headband looks so cursed 😭

#

felt like I was invading her privacy there

river willow
#

We've seen Anakin after this in the timeline, and he's still just a jedi ghost.

bold narwhal
#

I like how she’s actually happy now

tranquil elm
#

So is before it was Ahsoka the Grey and now it's Ahsoka the White?

bold narwhal
#

Yes!!!

#

100%

#

First four episodes was the grey now she’s the white

river willow
#

does anyone know where the map dias was shot irl?

#

cause that's a gorgeous cliff

#

or is it not real

bold narwhal
#

Genuienly need to know what the Anakin stuff was tho like if it was the force or if it was actually him getting ahsoka to want to live idk

#

Need more of him and hopefully him as a force ghost

tranquil elm
#

Maybe we'll see him in the Finale again

#

But I think it was him

#

Atleast it wasnt the Son like people theorized

polar vessel
#

Loved all the transitions and the back and forth between Anakin and Vader.

The deaging did look better. But I still think the skin is just a tad too smooth.

tranquil elm
#

Agreed that it didn't look 100% but it was genuinely really good

#

Glad they did that and not 40 year old Hayden

polar vessel
#

It was very good. I'm being hyper critical.

river willow
bold narwhal
#

like I’m just confused

#

A bit

#

I also wish they talked about his fall and stuff that would’ve been cool

barren thicket
#

My biggest gripe was the map. Baylen did a straight lightsaber thrust through it, he didn’t fruit ninja it in half right?

half sleet
bold narwhal
tranquil elm
#

It may be something referencing the Father in Mortis, where he could switch between Light and Dark

#

But not too sure either

#

I liked it though

bold narwhal
#

I was still hoping he is the father

#

Genuinely

blazing lagoon
#

y'all remember the 2005 Anakin lightsaber by Hasbro that changes color from Red to Blue?

bold narwhal
#

Keeping the balance beyond the grave etc

#

That might be why he has trouble manifesting as a force ghost to Luke later on. Still a lil darkside lurkin

Lol did you just click on SWT's stream too?

No why

He just said that

Omg seriously

It’s not there

He's also mad that apparently his "script got leaked" and Disney used it

Omg whaaaaaat

#

No way

#

How

tranquil elm
#

Yeah idk whether that's true or not

bold narwhal
#

Interesting I’m tuning in

But I think we will get more Hayden at the end

I hope we get Hayden each episode from now

Hayden deserves the world

And this check baby

Sell me one of ur skinny flex’s😅😅

I wonder if this one's different enough that someone will make a run of it

I'm glad he gets to do a bit of redemption.

#

Does anyone have any idea for the color code for Anakin’s saber here

#

0, 140, 255 is what I’m thinking?

polar vessel
# tranquil elm They never did a bad job, people were the problem

Maybe redemption isn't the right word. I know it's not their fault. I blame George some for not great writing or directing. And yes, people suck.

But it gives them a chance to come back and do some really great stuff that people like. Which is better than how their story would have ended otherwise.

tranquil elm
#

For sure

#

With Ahmed, we need more Jar Jar though

polar vessel
#

No we don't

#

Jar Jar the character is insufferable

ionic maple
#

Was it just me or did Hayden sound younger for the Siege of Mandalore scenes like his RoTS voice?

blazing lagoon
#

Hayden, Jake, and Ahmed did the jobs they were hired to do, don't put the blame on them

tranquil elm
#

Either his voice was de aged too or he's just doing a really good job of replicating the same way he talked in ROTS

Strange that all the other scenes he looked and sounded older even with the de-aging

#

But those scenes it looked like he was ripped straight out of RoTS

#

Even with his Vader speak as Anakin

tranquil elm
#

Herb, did you ever end up getting that CW HT Ani or nah? That one is gonna sell like cake now

ionic maple
#

Nah

#

It'd either be that or the Kenobi Vader

#

It's a friggin tough choice now with Hayden nailing every scene since his return

They've done it with Leia before too.

Im referring to his comment about CGI Leia

Oh

I wouldn't mind if they just cast a new actress..

They did, and then CGI'd over her palpsip

You mean in TRoS? Wasn't that her daughter?

Yeah

Also, I need an Ani ep3 hilt now

tranquil elm

#

Those CW Ahsoka sabers in the flashback tho. What the hell

#

First time we see it in live action and they just went to Wal-Mart and picked up a pair of blade builders

tranquil elm

They did look a bit chunky didn't they

#

I thought it was just me

not sure if I'm just turbo andor pilled

Alot of nostalgia and fan service

blazing lagoon
tranquil elm
#

But I think they did right

mild fulcrum

Am I the only slightly confused about what exactly Anakin was trying to teach

ionic maple

Yeah I think if you weren't really invested in the characters riding off of CW it wasn't as impactful

tranquil elm
mild fulcrum
#

Yeah but I don’t really like

#

Get it

#

So Mojave, did the Graflex appear to change? @tranquil elm

tranquil elm
#

It's a Skinnyflex, but it looks identical to the one used in ROTS

#

So no changes that are noticeable rn

mild fulcrum
#

Oh it’s actually a Skinnyflex?

tranquil elm
#

Yeah

mild fulcrum
#

89?

tranquil elm
#

Im just saying it's a Skinnyflex, referring to the hilt used in Ep3

Oh

But yeah, 89 named theirs the Skinnyflex but idk what they used

I didn’t notice that

If he’s the father it would make sense why he’s flashing between light and dark

#

And why at the end of their fight his eyes were red and he took a moment and came back

blazing lagoon
#

Or

#

Or

#

It's because he's also Vader

bold narwhal
#

Meh

#

Mehhhh

tranquil elm
#

Wait, is that why hes using Vader's saber????

OMG WE DID IT REDDIT

(it's actually the Skinnyflex with a red blade but don't tell the theorists that)

Wait pause, they didn't prop swap to an MPP did they?

Ok

blazing lagoon

No

No im just memeing

Except it has to be a different soundfont now

#

That's not planned

tranquil elm
#

Ummm

#

Pretty sure Vader just comes from the word Invader

#

Dark Invader = Darth Vader

blazing lagoon
tranquil elm
#

So glad we got that CW flashback. Was hoping for that in Kenobi but was left dissapointed

blazing lagoon
#

Anakin wasn't a Padawan anymore during the Clone Wars so he shouldn't be having a dueling lesson then

tranquil elm
#

He was still Obi-Wan's Apprentice though wasn't he?

tranquil elm
#

With a T. But Im just saying George just decided to play around with "Dark Invader" and came up with Darth Vader

half sleet
#

it was a movie quote....but it is taken from this originally. weve known that for 46 years

tranquil elm
#

Pretty sure he didn't think about Vader being Luke's father when he wrote Ep 4

half sleet
#

there were Germans saying this in the late 70's

half sleet
#

Kenobi knows it in Ep 4

tranquil elm
#

No.

river willow
#

It's never mentioned until ESB

tranquil elm
#

Originally, Luke's father was meant to be someone else different than Vader, and Vader was supposed to be Obi-Wan's other apprentice. It wasn't until afterwards when he tried to write that into Vader actually being Anakin

#

Thus, we get ESB

river willow
tranquil elm
#

Really? I thought he said that but only after filming had wrapped up

#

That's when he decided that

river willow
#

Tbf who knows with Lucas.

queen jackal
#

I said Anakin looked off in Episode 4

#

Not a problem at all in this one

#

He looked absolutely fantastic

tranquil elm
#

I think it was just the lighting that perhaps made him look bad in Ep 4

queen jackal
#

Sooooo awesome seeing Anakin be....Anakin again!

queen jackal

Is that young Ahsoka's actress?

Yeah

blazing lagoon
#

Yes

Oh awesome!

Blue Ahsoka sabers still superior

Seeing Anakin with a red lightsaber was hype lol

Should have morphed into this saber for the callback lol

Hayden probably isn't used to the ROTS Vader hilt

Sticking with what he knows

#

That hilt looks nothing like the ROTS Vader tho lmao

#

The Vader voice synth layered over Hayden's voice

queen jackal
#

My only little complaint.

The Gandalf comparison lol

#

But that's just me

tranquil elm
#

They did something similar in Kenobi, where they combined Hayden's and James' voices. I thought that was cool

ionic maple
#

Eagle. Purgill

#

Same thing

#

Oh yeah, that made sense with Vader

#

But this is Anakin without the Vader suit with the voice synth

#

It's a different kind of chilling

queen jackal
#

"Why didn't the eagles take the ring and Frodo to Mordor?"

"Why didn't the Purgills take Ahsoka to- oh wait"

#

I'm just glad that the rumors about this moment were wrong

#

Like real glad lol

ionic maple
#

Guys what if Ahsoka got pushed into another dimension different from her original one

#

And so she actually died in the original dimension

Which leads to the sequels

I completely missed that mention

Probably cuz our cats were fighting each other

Cats saw the lightsabers and wanted to replicate

Wait, no I didn't miss it

#

For some reason I thought it was Bail

Being dead lol

#

Now i wonder if Ahsoka will appear in the New Jedi Order movie lol

#

Did Anakin's saber sound different this time around?

tranquil elm

Yeah

#

Im sure the fontmakers will a new font version of this

bold narwhal

#

It had both heroic and sinister vibes depending on the scene

ionic maple
#

Thought so, sounded a bit like Luke's

#

The ignition anyway

queen jackal

JuanSith sound font this week probably

tranquil elm
#

They used Luke's Ep6 ignition for the Sequels Graflex ignition so Im not surprised

It do be a good ignition sound

That ignition is my all time favorite

#

Yeah

tranquil elm

The cleanest

It's embedded in my brain at this point

TFA Starkiller Base ignition will always be my favorite Graflex ignition

Wife was going through Insta shorts and that came out

I recognized it immediately

Didn’t they give that to the graflex in episode 5 also? In the special edition version

It was changed in the 2004 DVD edition

Unrelated but my friend is saying Hayden was de-aged in Kenobi

I think so

He was but not as well as this

At first I thought it was Teth

He still looked 40

But there are Twi'leks so it's Ryloth

I also noted Ahsoka doesn't wear "that outfit"

queen jackal
tranquil elm
#

I wish Luke appeared too

queen jackal
#

Poor Luke is working his butt off trying to restart the Jedi Order and is missing all this

#

But no seriously can I have a BoBF season 2 so that they can focus 1 episode on Luke again and have him just talk to Anakin in live action?

blazing lagoon
#

no

queen jackal

Shame that Vader being Leia's father was so controversial that it basically costed her her position

Fuck dude that episode was fire

#

Got me wanting to rewatch some clone wars arcs

brittle peak
#

This fight reminded me of Cal vs Jaro Tapal in his similar experience in some force dimension in his mind

#

This episode reminded me of Fallen Order again when Ahsoka heard a force echo from the broken map

sinful hatch
#

Just watched EP5

#

Damn that was so good

queen jackal
#

I think the Ahsoka literally being Gandalf now is a bit.....much.

But its whatever honestly lol

fast gale
queen jackal
#

I will have to rewatch the episode again soon cause while I did love it, the lesson that Ahsoka was supposed to learn seemed really unclear to me

#

Hmmm I guess I do understand now. Approach was a bit fuzzy though imo lol

river willow
queen jackal
#

On the lesson or the whole episode? 😮

river willow
#

the lesson, out of curiosity

#

I thought I got it, but I've seen so many people confused that I'm not sure I got it after all

#

lol

queen jackal
#

Hmm.....I feel that it's a bit redundant. And more like Filoni just REALLY wanted to put those two in a fight together. Which is totally fine cause I'd do the same thing lol.

But in terms of the lesson. It seems like it's a mix of violence was never the answer and that Ahsoka needed to trauma dump by fighting her master. Which she never had an issue with before until now, and even seemed to take offense to how Anakin trained her. As if he purposefully let her to war and was joking around about it.

Which doesn't really match how she was before in both CW and Rebels. While I agree it's been time since then and Ahsoka has grown up more, it just felt like a lesson she already learned before and had no issue with until this series

#

Which all culminates into the Gandalf change. But in LOTR, Gandalf became the White for many reasons, especially because his task wasn't done. Here, Ahsoka being the White in the Star Wars sense by learning something new

#

I don't know, I just think that while the whole episode was absolutely stellar, the point that Ahsoka needed to learn was kind of like, well, yeah its not like the Jedi wanted to make her a child soldier lol.

#

But I'm also bad at interpretation. So I could be way wrong and the oddball xD

fast gale
#

The Lesson was to keep pushing through all odds from what I could tell.
Just cause you hit a stump or setback (i.e, Baylan defeating Ahsoka) doesn't mean its over or you're less than as a character.
TLDR; Shit happens, but just cause it does doesn't mean you need to give up and throw yourself into a loop of despair

#

atleast how I interpret it

#

Hence why she comes back as Gandalf the white lol

#

kinda similar to what happened in that LoTR storyline

river willow
#

yeah, push through/overcome, as well as; just because you were raised a soldier, doesn't mean that's what you always will be, you're also Anakin, Obi Wan, Qui Gon, etc

queen jackal
#

Also I really wish they had positioned Ahsoka's sabers right lol

river willow
#

"We are what we grow beyond"

queen jackal
#

She had them facing forward

#

Instead or backwards

#

But that's a trivial matter lol. Just wished it matched her CW stance more.

fast gale
queen jackal
# fast gale Hence why she comes back as Gandalf the white lol

Except didn't Gandalf come back because not only did he sacrifice himself, but also because their God/or the elves in the movie, told him that his job wasn't finished yet? So it was basically a superpower add on to help the Hobbits and people out

fast gale
queen jackal
#

But Ahsoka isn't dead yet lol. Or dying

#

Then again I guess Obi wasn't dying then either

fast gale
#

it feels super convoluted

queen jackal
#

Plus I think she has quite a bit of time left

river willow
#

it's similar to the Gandalf thing, but I think it's more of a

#

throw off the dust, become a pure form of what you're meant to be

queen jackal
#

Either way I will say I will absolutely take this lesson over the rumor about what was going to happen when she was in the World Between Worlds

#

Cause man I was not gonna be happy if that rumor came true xD

#

Oh yeah my last dumb opinion is that Ahsoka really liked crossing her arms in this episode xD

broken forge
#

CGI and the end of Ep. 4 was kinda eh but this episode was great

I don’t think I ever really looked at his face and actively noticed it

#

Oh!

#

Yeah I like how he did a really good job portraying the clone wars version. The way he talked to Ahsoka despite never having that moment before while acting was so great

#

Also. What do you all mean by Ahsoka is Gandalf. Who is that?

river willow
#

Gandalf the Grey & the White.

#

He's a wizard from Lord of the rings

brittle peak
#

Ah okay.

river willow
#

Gandalf fell into a pit, fought a demon, returned to the land of the living and was no longer grey, but white

#

but that was because his role in the world had changed.

sure, but vader is literally the dutch word, so the dutch word with german pronounciation

but all the Sith names are some sort of terrible thing, and honestly Lucas probably wasn't aiming for a pun.

acoustic zealot
#

or he was, I thought I once heard/read about the vader/father thing being true

#

I do not remember where

river willow
#

Lucas said the name “sort of appeared in my head one day. I had lots of Darth this and Darth that, and Dark Lord of the Sith. The early name was actually Dark Water. Then I added lots of last names, Vaders and Wilsons and Smiths, and I just came up with the combination of Darth and Vader."

alright then

either way, loved this episode

only gripe being that she's not backhanding her sabers in the flashbacks

He also went to school with a guy called Gary Vader

yooo correct me if Im wrong. This is the first time they showed Red Saber Vader without a suit right?

they even switch to his sith ignition

I'm still pretty sure it was Anakin, but yeah

naww its "Vader" because of the sith face

There's the whole "Sith can't appear after death" mumbojumbo tho

but it is Anakin fronk

#

So who knows

#

I swear Star Wars is one of the only things that gets more confusing the more you know

Was he marrok

Marrek

However u spell

That certainly wasn’t “Vader” though. Anakin was just changing his appearance to teach Ahsoka her final lesson

#

He was still Anakin and good the whole time

#

I wonder if the WBW has something to do with force ghosts..

blazing lagoon
broken forge
#

Seemed more like a reflection of Ashoka’s feelings more than an intentional ghostly magical change by anakin

Could be a bit of both. At first she kept seeing him as Vader and he caught on. Then made her face that part of him

@tranquil elm If you can tell, are the Anakin saber sounds from this episode new, or are they the ones from RotS or TCW?
