You can actually see the outline of the Purggil in the clouds of seatos when Baylan looks at the sky
It's crazy how he didn't mention this I commented on it myself.
😮
I *thought* I saw something moving up there...
I did
@Abdur-Productins5467 yeah, there are actually at least 3 in that shot all in that corner above the henge pillar
As soon as my sister and I saw Chopper, we both pointed at him and cried out "The war criminal returns!" We had a lot of fun watching this episode
Chopper choses violence. The universe is right
Chopper and Bendre would get along famously.
I am watching ahsoka for chopper, loth cats, thrawn, and ezra
@@VictorCowan-b4e I'm watching mainly for Thrawn since I LOVE the Timothy Zahn novels, but Chopper was the main Rebels character I was looking forward to
Love how sassy chopper is
Actually…chopper had a cameo in rogue one..that was his film debut
At least some one else remembered
I was about to say that..
Came here to say this ^ thank you!
I was disappointed when I felt like no one remembered 😢
Plus Chopper was live action in the Rebels Aftershow
I'M SURPRISED that you didn't note that The Eye of Sion looked like a mega upscaled version of the hyperdrive docking rings that we saw Obi-Wan connect his jedi starfighter to in Attack of the Clones.
Immediately what I thought of. Which begs the question: does the ring move as it’s own ship, or will a ship dock with it?
@@HailinRain Or do they lasso a Purrgil?
I have a small diecast version of obi wan's ship from episode 2 and it has the hyperspace ring. When the shot of the eye of sion came on screen my three year old said "dad, look! We have that!" And I thought to myself yeah that's just a huge hyperspace ring.
Yes I thought this , the size tho has to be for chimera so they can bring it back to the sw galaxy
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who immediately thought of this😭
Sabine was once possessed by the spirits of Night Sisters, maybe they left something behind.
I noticed that and all Force users can possess someone we just call it a Jedi mind trick
@@CharlesH-t9r That's not possession, it's suggestion.
@@CharlesH-t9rpossession is completely different
I think the "psychometry" and the solving puzzle scene in episode 1 is a nod to the games where Cal Kestis has a similar ability and ofcourse solves puzzles to get through missions.
That's exactly what that was! I think it's more likely Ashoka crossed paths with Cal than with Vos, like the video theorized.
I love that he dosent want to kill ahsoka, he shows he actually values jesi even if he is no longer 1.
Uncle Jesi?
The irony that the actor died before the Ashoka series was released
@@BoomSlang001 yes
The lightsaber duels are the most realistic they’ve ever felt. They’re very precise and optimal. Never doing something over the top that would exert too much energy. With that being said this feels like filonis magnum opus. For the first five minutes it screams Star Wars. This is the most excited I’ve been for a project since the last Jedi. Which is sad but exciting at the same time.
no
in the end of episode when asoka was fighting with inquisitor like sith he had a couple of times posibility to hit asoka after he turned on second half of his sword
The lightsaber action was definitely the worst part for me personally, need better choreography.
@@ivanborsuk1110whatever. Seems like they’ve taken the criticism that got popularized by swordsman that Star Wars fights were too “flashy” for it being battles with blades. That’s why we’re seeing less spins and more jabs.
@@treycorte2203well,there always haters .
Realistic? Dang they really be happening in other places?😂
Was it just me, or was Chopper easier to understand in Ashoka than he was in Rebels? I always tried to focus on what he was saying, but now I didn't even really have to.
much of what chopper says was always understandable, but your probably correct in that they have, likely intentionally, made is speech a little more clear over time.
@asaenvolk yeah but b4 it was waaay more distorted n u really had to focus even then it could've been a bunch of different things but now it was more like autotune than binary I didn't evn have to rewind at all to figure it out
@@DemiDemon94 funny thought, what if this is chopper tuning his binary speech to that it sounds more like Galactic Basic Standard to make himself more easily understood
Maybe it’s like understanding griot at the end of GOTG3, we’ve grown to understand chopper
@@shiestyseanoh i like this 1 more
You need to play Fallen Order.
Stonehenge isn't the only henge. You would usually expect to find bodies in the middle of a henge. Which ties into the Nightsisters' life and death angle. Water of Life, resurrection of the dead etc... The Jedi seemed to move away from these primal concerns as time went on but the early Jedi temples and Nightsister temples and Zeffo temples could all be connected. One of the Zeffo left his tomb on Dathomir. This is the sort of thing Master Cordova was researching but he could never track down what happened to the Zeffo before the Purge. Like Luke has Rey discover, life and death is a balance.
The ship that Baylan and Shin uses looks like Gorgara of Dathomir.
He might have. He was breaking down the sequel's trailers as well
Watching this does make me want to play Fallen Order again!
It’s crazy how they don’t even mention the connections from Fallen order and Jedi survivor.
@@killakaso and how Morgan refers to herself as Survivor, with fallen order and survivor having a lot of nightsister involvement.
Well said. I think they are replacing the Rakkatan race with the Zeffo
It would be cool if we get to see zeb ,and Kallus cameo this season.
Flashback Kanan Jarrus would be awesome & a loth wolf!!
I feel like we have to see zeb after he showed up in the mandalorian
AP-5 would be cool to
I bet my life on it 😅😅 This is Rebels Season 5 after all.
@@castortroy22the actor for kanan said he doesn’t wanna be in live action
I love how they translated the characters from cartoon to live-action. The casting, makeup, and wardrobe people knocked it out of the park. Kevin Kiner is a welcome choice, too. I got goosebumps when they recreated the epilog from Rebels. I'm glad to see the Legends stuff canonized.
psychometry is also heavily used in the jedi fallen order game
And in KOTOR
The orbs look more like smaller versions of Zeppho artifacts. And they have a direct connection to Dathomir's history as well.
Ahsoka surely has a good start. Not timeless, but surely a good start. I have Filoni faith that it will keep getting better... and better... and better. LET'S Go!
I thought you said this was tomorrow, stoked!
Tomorrow is today I guess
He said it was tomorrow 19 hours ago so that was yesterday. Last night sometime. So tomorrow from last night would obviously be today
@@2001chanmanthat video was uploaded only 4 hours from me responding to this lol
I mean I’m not complaining 😂
Who really cares I mean he uploaded 😁
16:48-16:50 the neo goes for his blaster straight away which is such a "basic" but great detail as any military personnel would respond in the same way as soon as they are compromised
9 and rings are both also Norse myth references.
9 is a repeating number in many Norse myths, and the magic arm ring Draupnir, makes 8 exact copies of itself every day, making 9
Draupnir being the ring of Odin, a god associated with the travel between worlds
@@BjornWithASlashHoly shit
Doesn't 9 also appear as the number of realms? Including Jotenheim, Midgard and Asgard?
It’s a number repeating through a ton of the myths. 9 realms, 9 arm rings, 9 mothers of heimdall, etc
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that the voice calling to Morgan is actually Ezra. He's just as trapped as Thrawn, and they might be looking for a way to get back. It's not like Ezra hasn't worked with perceived enemies to save both their skins before.
You're not wrong
Ezra will not work with those imperial scums.
I freaking loved the scene between HuYang ,and Sabine! Definitely some really strong moments in the series so far.
Three quick elements I noticed that weren’t mentioned: psychometry is also heavily a part of the Jedi: Fallen Order and Jedi: Survivor games (which also include a Night Sister), the “tool” Sabine uses to decode the HK droid’s brain is a modified (and upside down) handheld space invaders knockoff that came out around the time of Return of the Jedi, the protocol droids on Corellia are red-very similar to the red arm that C-3P0 is sporting in The Force Awakens.
When Chopper throws the tracker onto the ship, he does the same spin/chuck combo he did when he was training Ezra how to block blaster bolts, or when he's thrown anything really. Chopper is a war criminal.
A masked character is, usually, a character you know. There is no point in masking someone you don't know. Marrok is clearly someone we've met.
his helmet is blue too, he must become an ally
They also didn’t let him speak, which is even more of an indication that it’s someone that they’re keeping a secret about
Ezra?
Not necessarily
@@lewissmith2311nah. He vanished with thrawn.
4:29 in that scene when Baylon is looking up at the sky you ant faintly see a purgill in the clouds for a quick second before the shot changes
There are at least *three* purgill whales in the overcast sky above the henge at Seatos! Baylan looks as the camera pans up. You can hear a whale call. Right before the camera cuts back to Baylan, look at the top left quadrant of the shot, above the main henge pillar. One is flying to the right towards Baylan, the easiest to spot. A fraction of a second before the cut, there are two more on the left, one you see peak out of the clouds, and the other--the third--you can make out its oval shadow in the space above the second. It's easy to think you're seeing things, they're only on screen for all of *2 seconds*, maybe a tiny bit less.
the orbs look similar to Zeffo force orbs, the Zeffo being another ancient, force-sensitive civilisation having some connection to Dathomir. Perhaps some references to Cal and his mission or Eno Cordova would be a good touch.
"And huyang will cry" got me lol
Not the first time we saw Chopper in live action. He was in rogue one
I think the ancient race that fled to another galaxy might be the zeffo, not the rakata, since we still don't know where they left to, nor where they came from, and also had a deep connection to the force, but in a natural, neutral way, much like bendu
Cal Kestis is at this point the most well know user of Psychometry, which is the ability that allows you to sense all of the echoes in the games. It is also used for extremely impactful effect toward the end of Survivor!
Absolutely loved the Tolkien reference and made my heart warm. I absolutely loved these two episodes!
The star map and the path remind me of Tanalorr from Jedi: Survivor
And the murals and artifact in episode 1 remind me of the Zeffo and astrium from fallen order.
I was thinking the same thing
The map is like the Abyss compass.
@@rareapple3 Exactly!
What if the star map is how the enemies found tanalorr while dagan Gerra was there
we need a chopper mini series 😂😂😂😂
Anthony Carboni made a good call on the Kinda Funny Screencast recap of episodes 1 and 2 when he said that the Eye of Sion reminded him of Outbound Flight, the extragalactic exploratory mission that Thrawn stopped (mostly) in Timothy Zahn’s novel (and that held, at one point, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Jorus C’baoth, and Vergere). Definitely had some thoughts of that as well as I watched!
It would be cool for them to reintroduce outbound flight back into canon
18:38 I love the part before this when he’s throwing stuff out & it sounds like he’s saying “garbage, garbage, garbage” 😂
13:54 That is not a shield gate above Corellia. It is a massive shipyard similar to the one we saw over Fondor in "Star Wars: Battlefront II".
Sabine being Mandalorian, Jedi, and Nightsister all in one woooould be a fascinating path to watch unfold
Anyone else think theres a chance they will dock the chimera on the eye of sion?
That was the 1st thing I thought upon seeing "the giant ring" LOL
im just curious if the eye of scion is linked to darth scion from the extended universe.
Probably. I mean, its a giant hyper ring.
It’s Sion, not Scion
I suspect that would be the point of it.
Way to get this out there! Awesome!! Kodos to your editors.
With all the focus on 3's, im surprised you didnt mention "The Eye of Sion" Sion being a powerful ancient sith, and member of the Sith Triumverate, another interval of 3
Why is Marrok’s helmet blue in the intro, but Sabine is red? Every single other character follows blue: good, evil: bad….
That’s true
It’s because it’s Ezra
@@GagagahahshshfjPossibly, but why’s sabine red then?
@@Gagagahahshshfj he is with thrawn tho. It makes more sense for it to be Barriss.
@@Greenhawk4 Baylen and Morgan both reffered to Marrok as a "he".
Here is a little funfact: The little machine Sabine uses on the Droid Head is a modified Galaxy Invader console but upside down.
I could be wrong but it felt like Weaver called the protocol droid over to answer questions as a way to say that the dock was under loyalist control. He could say it himself without getting noticed but the droid wouldn't lie.
Actually @NewRockstars, Choppers first live action cameo was in Rogue One, where also You could hear General Hera Syndulla’s name announced over the loud speaker, and the Ghost makes its first live action appearance as well. Love the stuff as always! Just thought I’d point that out.
Me and Sabine were unintentionally twining with the nails
Also, Baylon mentioned that "Pathway to Peridia". Which I think is a play on words to another idiom *"The Path to Perdition"* ...which means that their actions will likely lead to *failure and punishment*
Marrok is also a wolf, a knight turned into a wolf by a witch
Well if he's an inquisitor, perhaps he was a *Jedi knight* turned into a wolf (member of balens group) by a witch (perhaps elsbeth or another)
He’s Ezra
@@cmatzathe whole plot wouldn’t make sense if it was Ezra. Think a little
It would be insane if the extra-galactic threat is the Yuuzhan Vong.
omg yes i love them
It has to be, right? I cant see it being any other. Lets hope bc even if just for lore and minor exposition, them getting alluded to alone will be sick.
With the possibility of time travel and references to KotOR, I could see it being similar to Revan going to fight the extra-galactic threat and encountering the Sith Empire.
That’s what I’m hoping
I was thinking that too when they said it, would give credence to the Legends story where Palpatine set himself out to unify the Galaxy under his rule because he'd foreseen the Yuuzan Vhong war
The chopper scenes killed me😂🤣.
Ashoka did that Achilles move from Troy when Hector threw that spear at him 🤣
Surprised with all Dave Filonis wolf connections you didn't mention that "Marrok" is the name of a knight from Arthurian legend that a "witch" turns into a wolf... possibly Ezra.. a jedi "knight"
Ezra is in the other galaxy with Thrawn.
But that would mean hes back, surely if Ezra was Thawne would be
@@rhodrageAlso, there is no chance that Ahsoka wouldn't sense him.
Ezra could communicate with them Where’s Thrawn couldn’t. Ezra could absolutely be back. Which is how Morgan would know where Thrawn is in the first place.
@@jmejst thrawn also doesn't have the force. And how would he have even gotten back? Its most likely Barriss.
Solid start to the series! Much better than the last few! Let’s see how the season goes!
Looking forward to it! 😁
Andor was excellent
@@SpinnerDethrage sorry I should’ve added that Andor was the exception.
Andor = 👌👌
Obi Wan Kenobi = 💩
Book of Boba Fett = 💩
Mando S1 & S2 = 👌👌👌👌
S3 = meh
Playing with the Wolf names, Marrok was an Arthurian Knight who was changed to a wolf by his wife.
You break it down so good now I have to watch it again
Cal Kestis had Psychometry too. And he had another Nightsister Survivor, Merrin.
Yup - not to mention also solves some temple puzzles from the Zeffo that are pretty similar! :)
it was a great episode Dave's doing great with this I hope this can keep up the momentum
awesome to see a detail even in Andor. Great work guys!
I thought we had to wait for this!! Thank you!!
The Krayt Dragon/Pearl concept actually came a long time before KOTOR. They were first mentioned in the Legends book “Tales from Jabba’s Palace” which pre-dated the game by seven years.
I swear I could see a purgill in the clouds when watching on D+
I thought the same thing. There’s a dark shadow hinted up in the clouds.
there are actually at least two, in that same quadrant of the shot there's the one flying sort of "toward" Baylan, and on the left, just above the henge pillar, another is floating "away" from him and the other one, it is only on screen for a fraction of the total shot right before the cut back to Baylan, maybe even less than a second of movement but it's there :)
Some fantastic and very plausible theories, I’m interested to see if they come to fruition. Also, some of these call backs you mentioned are next level. Keep it up!
In Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Professor Oxley says the aliens went, not into space, but the space between spaces. I have to imagine George Lucas was thinking about that when he and Filoni discussed the World Between Worlds.
A little surprised you don't mention Darth Sion most likely namesake for the Eye of Sion and another little bit of the "Knights of The Old Republic" story being brought into canon like the Revan squad from "Rise" or the Rakatans.
Also, construction and purpose of "Eye" is very similar to legends "Unbound Flight", ship send to try to go outside Galaxy. Was crewed by Jedi, and destroyed by Thrawn!
@@Bzhydack You mean the Outbound Flight, right?
During detail #2...there IS a purgill that shows. It's about the middle of the screen you see the nose of it in the clouds.
Another Easter egg that could be noted is on some of the hologram calls it is different that traditional ones we see and is more like that in S4E9 of the clone wars
RIP Ray Stevenson!!!
Once again, Great Actor!!!
If i recall, didn't the spirits of the night sisters take over Sabine at one point. Been a while since i watched rebels, maybe they left some force sensitivity behind? Nothing previously indicated that Sabine was anything more than an amazing weapons practitioner
You guys are really onto this. Thank you.
Did anyone notice the 1980’s Galaxy Invader 1000 handheld (time stamp 5:30) just flipped upside down and sprayed! Pretty cool. Made me smile
Chopper = War Criminal. I love it! Totally accurate.
Corellia doesn't have an orbital shield gate like Scarif, they are multiple orbital shipyards like what can be seen above Fondor in Battlefront 2
Now that Sabine has left Lothal, we need to know who's taking care of the cat!
I love your upbeat positive attitude
Cal from Jedi Fallen Order senses force echoes as well
The opening melody of episode 2 (during the logos) is the same as the intro to “Stonehenge” by Spinal Tap.
11:47 THANK YOU FOR SAYING IT
Great mention of the excellent books Aftermath (3) & Bloodlines (1)!
A tiny Easter Egg is that the prop instrument used by Sabine to examine the droids head (5m 41s) is made from an early 1980s game console called Galaxy Invaders CGL. I had one as a kid and laughed out loud when I recognised it. Very fitting for the storyline.
Chopper is a Driodhole!!!
But is the first time i understood him. I never understood him in Star Wars Rebels
Now I have to imagine that when somebody converses with an astromech droid, they’re hearing something like “chopper talk”. Hence Luke understanding R2 so clearly.
The ending w/the ship being built reminded me of the DeathStar being built at the end of the season finale of Endor.
Some of the ruins look similar to the ones Cal Kestis was exploring in Jedi: Fallen Order.
In terms of Mysticism, Arcana also relates to Major and Minor Arcana in Tarot.
I think Baylan Skoll was heavily inspired by Joruus C’baoth from Heir to the empire.
Another amazing video
The last correlian imperial to die by Ashoka’s force push is none other than the fight coordinator for the whole series Ming Qiu! Bad ass!
4:54 No it wasn't... Quinlan used it in his (much superior) appearances in the Star Wars: Republic comics. Also it apparently first appeared in one of the 1990s novels.
Thr only thing I wish we got to see Jacen or mention of him.
As an Old republic fan, I like all the references to the Rakata; even though they are supposed to be forgotten about lol. Also, Baylin and Shin are my favorite SW characters since Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan (Phantom Menace)
17:00 smiling for that paycheck🤣
When I saw the puzzle in the first episode, it really reminded me of the puzzles we’d see in Jedi Fallen Order
I swear I can speak Chopese the amount of times I’ve rewatched rebels
Choper had a cameo in Rouge One!
This is one of the best looking star wars serie. Cant wait for the rest
Path to Peridea sounds like a Bob Hope, Bing Crosby movie.
I think time travel is going to be your Starwars Mephisto
Darth Nihilus says hold my Blue Milk as he tally's up his kill count for Chopper! ;)
I think Thrawn could have been transported to the Old Republic era since Filoni likes using that era in his Star Wars works
It would be so cool to have the rakatans come into cannon. I love KotOR
If you go off the video games only one sister survived, animated clone wars multiple may have survived. The senses of previous fights was the same as force echos in the video game. Love how they are bringing so many of these back together. Maybe one day we’ll see stories with cal Kestis. Can’t wait to hopefully see Ezra!!!
I kinda hope they bring some of the scary hyperspace creatures back into canon like the starweirds that hyperspace jump they are going to make between the galaxies is going to be huge lots of room for dangers and hazards on the way I’m excited asf to see where this goes
Thanks for the Chopper info. I knew i was hearing distorted words😂😂😂
