I feel both bad and happy for Ray, I would've loved if his character went out with a big boom even if he is like.. one of the best characters since Disney took over. Now we know they gonna have to recast the character. Just hope they can find someone who can use what Ray did and built upon.
I can see them taking one of two options - either recast Baylan, but risk the new performer not be able to deliver the same weight as Ray Stevenson, or to retire the character (e.g. as a mark of respect to the actor) by having the character die offscreen and instead rejig the plot originally intended for him to another character (e.g. having Shin try to figure out what her former master was up to).
@@SpaceRampageAnd that is why different shows always hit or miss for the fans. Because SW now has different types of adaptation that tells and share the same continuity. When Live Action goes cartoon or vice versa, half of the community gonna disagree on bunch of stuff. The most common, "They doesn't sound like...", "They look off...", "They act different...". And thus, SW fans never really satisfied with anything. Sequel Trilogy is the only one that really terrible, and they starting to makes us forced to accept that crap.
You mention Morgan using her non-dominant hand to hold the back of her blade. That's a very real fighting technique that is detailed in medieval manuals of arms, and it's called half-swording. Basically it gives you much more control over the blade, with the disadvantage of losing reach. Historically it was most often done to try to get blades in between plates of armour.
What I love about the ending is while Anakin has had a presence throughout the season it's either through recordings, or an experience where you can't really tell if it's all in Ahsoka's head or not. But he's definitely there at the end of this episode watching over her & her apprentice, and ready to commune with them when they're ready. Nice reaction... and RIP Ray Stevenson.
I would argue that in "Shadow Warrior," it was actually Anakin, and not in Ahsoka's head. In the episode, Ahsoka said that she's not going to fight him, and Anakin replies that he's heard that before, referring to Luke saying that in ROTJ. Since Ahsoka probably didn't know about that little dialogue, it was probably Anakin reaching out to Ahsoka through the Force via the World between Worlds. Still, it's very nice to see Anakin having something of a presence around his apprentice.
baylans quest has something to do with the mortis gods. notice the statue of the father pointing to the mountain with the light above it, the son to right and the daughter to the left but her head is missing. ahsoka seeing morai, the owl that represents the daughter. very very interesting. maybe the deal thrawn made with the mothers, getting them to dathomir. the crates are suspicious. are they witches going to be resurrected? this whole season is the start to an epic adventure!
Season 2 synopsis. The Mother (Abeloth) was banished to this planet turns out she was a Nightsister or the original Nightsister its where they draw their power from, Baylon empowered by the Mother after finding her has to fight Ahsoka and Sabine, Shin then turns to the lightside taking up Ahsoka's offer and helps Ahsoka and Sabine along with some big assist from Anakin to defeat Baylon and the Mother, since this place is connected to the Mortis gods there is a portal here to the world between worlds, now that they are all force sensitive (assuming you have to be force sensitive to use the world between worlds since we haven't seen anyone else in it) Ahsoka, Sabine, and Shin go through it to get home. They keep talking about how old Huyang is and that comes into play because its going to be like 100 years before he can fly home but thats not a long time to him given he's thousands of years old already. I wonder who they are going to replace Ray Stevenson with though.
Back in the old galaxy we will get New Republic with Ezra and the rest of the specters teaming up with the Mandalorians and maybe Luke vs Thrawn and fhe Imperial Remnant with an army of resurrected Night Sisters (that's what's in the coffins they are repopulating Dathomir) and I hope that doesn't lead us to the sequels explaining how the New Republic fell ect I'd rather the world between worlds being used to erase the sequels but I doubt we get that...
Morgan's actress is trained in Wushu. Shes actually Bruce Lee's god daughter and a martial arts legend. Most lightsaber choreographer is a mixture of aiido, kendo, and dance choreography. Her and Chirrut Imwe (Played by Donnie Yen) from Rogue One are the only two examples of the use of Kung Fu in Star Wars.
Your observation about Morgan's half swording is interesting. Morgan half swords to apply pressure to the blade when pressing back. However, if you go back and re-watch Baylan vs. Ahsoka, Ahsoka does the same thing with her lightsaber and force pushes her blade back against Baylan.
And when the shot pants over to the mountains that he's looking at in the distance you can see a little beacon coming out of the top of one of the mountains. And that has a connection to Mortis as well. During the Mortis arc Anakin sees a mountain with a beacon on it and when he travels there inside that mountain is where he meets the Father. And I find it interesting that the statue of the father is pointing towards that mountain.
in that last shot it's like it harps back to being part of a legacy b/c even though Sabine never met Anakin (as Anakin anyway i mean Darth Vader did roll up on them in rebels season 2) she felt his presence.
I figure, if nothing else, they'll somehow use the world between worlds to get back. They got there in Rebels through a mural of the Mortis gods and now they're on a planet that obviously has something to do with those gods.
3:10 To be fair, he also saw a force god materialize a storm on Lothal, devastating his fleet, before a literal kid convinced space whales to teleport them to regions unknown. I think that after the finale of Rebels, Thrawn became much more open to "the impossible" or things like the Force. 4:05 Funnily enough, both stories revolve around a portal to another, secret world. 5:00 Looks like you cut it (and as such likely didn't notice it), but among the lightsaber parts on the table, you can see the top half of a Graflex flash (the thing the Skywalker lightsaber is made from) without its glass eye or bunny ear parts. 9:56 Not sure if you're aware, but in Legends continuity, there actually was a whole story about a zombie virus infecting an Imperial ship and making "Zombietroopers." Also I'm very disappointed none of the Nighttroopers bonked their head on any of those doors. 10:05 Not sure why Ezra said it was new. He's literally seen this before, in Rebels when he and Sabine went to Dathomir with Maul. 12:20 The weapon Morgan is using is a Dathomirian Ichor Blade. It's basically the same thing as a Sith Blade (in Legends, Sith Swords were the direct predecessor to Protosabers; the predecessor to the Lightsaber). It's an ordinary, primitive metal sword, but is imbued with the Force. This is what allows it to duel against a lightsaber without issue. 13:20 Aside from being an obvious parallel to when Luke did the same thing in ESB (needing to Force Pull his lightsaber to him, while still being very inexperienced in the Force, while in a very dangerous position), notice that her pulling the saber to her hand wasn't perfect. Every time previously, we always see the saber pulled into their hand *perfectly* (ie. already in the perfect position in their hand to ignite and go to work). But Sabine had to slightly adjust her grip on it and find the ignition switch (which she did quickly, but ever so slightly slower than a more experienced Jedi would have). 14:25 Minus one point for no Wilhelm Scream. 15:00 She always has been. (Also, Diana Lee Inosanto is the godchild of Bruce Lee. Also her father, Dan Inosanto was one of Bruce Lee's students and a major teacher of Jeet Kun Do). 15:15 Sabine finally, truly learned. If she and Ahsoka stay together, everything will be fine. 15:50 Good ol' Ezra shenanigans. Stealing armor and fooling everybody. You KNOW he loves doing that. 16:10 Once again, slightly disappointed with a Star Destroying "raining fire." Those IDSs have HUNDREDS of turbolasers. And Thrawn's using like... eight of them. 17:10 Its name is Morai. 17:40 How could you cut the shot of the statues??? Did you not notice it was the Father and Son? 19:11 It would seem they are stranded for now. Without the Eye of Sion or any Purgill, they don't have the capability to perform an intergalactic lightspeed jump. 19:55 Notice the lack of his famous scar. So this time it's really a force ghost. Other thoughts: Regarding the origins of the Witches of Dathomir (such as the Nightsisters). In Legends, it was established that the Witches of Dathomir were founded around 600 BBY by Jedi Knight Allya, who had been banished from the Jedi Order and exiled to Dathomir. She taught other women there how to use the Force, and they became the Witches of Dathomir. Allya even created the Book of Law (the code by which the Witches of Dathomir abide) from the teachings of the Jedi Order. Also, it was clearly stated that the Witches (other than Allya, of course) never learned that their magic was in-fact, the Force. But now we're being told the Dathomiri and the Witches of Dathomir originated from another galaxy, and existed LONG before anything in the Galaxy existed.
in regards to 17:40 about the statues. Thats is one of the downsides of reacting i think. sometimes there is too much reaction/talking and they miss things. i think she also missed that the sword was talzin's because of the same reasons
You forgot to mention, because he doesn't appear in this finale, the most important person that Ezra Bridger will meet: Jacen Syndulla, son of Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus, Ezra's master, who they spent this first season building the character.
Hey Emme, Ahsoka’s ship would take a bunch of light years to get back to their galaxy. If you look at the Purgills when they’re in hyperspace, it looks different than every other ship we’ve seen in Star Wars. They are flying MUCH faster than any ship we’ve seen. That’s why they had to build the Eye of Scion with 9 hyperdrives.
Senator Xiono is going to eat his words when he sees the young man he believed to have died is actually *alive and well* with his own two eyes 😉😏, and hears _what_ he has to say 🤔.
"Hera and the others can come get them, right?" How? This is another galaxy completely unknown. They're stuck there. As for Beylan, I don't know if you noticed, he was standing on a statue of the Father from Mortis and next to it was a statue of the Son. There is a theory that Beylan wants to free the Mother, or Abeloth. The mother is a symbol of death and chaos.
If they have the right coordinates, then they merely need to build a ship with a strong enough hyperspace engine to make the jump. So it is theoretically possible.
There are two ways that "Hera and the others" could come and get them, albeit they are far fetched. 1: Ezra is able to call upon the Pergill once more 2: They somehow are able to obtain the hyperspace coordinates and route from the Eye of Sion and use the Eye to go back or manage to build a new vessel capable of making that extragalactic journey.
My guess is they'll somehow find out what Baylan is doing or what he's doing will somehow draw their attention and they'll get back to the normal galaxy via the world between worlds.
Abeloth is apparently the "Anti-Force" (I think someone said somewhere 🤔). The Force itself hates her, it hates Sidious as well 🤔 (and the Rakatan Invaders too in that it robbed the Rakatans of their Force powers and killed them off 🤔).
I KNOW RIGHT!!! felt like it was just yesterday that we were all waiting for the first episode to air....and now it's on it's season finale already!!! excitement runs so fast!! what an EPIC SHOW!! loved all your reactions....
Sabine with her near-death experience helped her concert with the force ,,,, Sabine she's a late bloomer when it comes to the force some flowers bloom faster than others
"I am basically a Jedi at this point." 5:53 . The light over the dark blade on your tee confirm it.:) This short season was a trip. Pun intended. Didn't expect the cameo at the end. Only disappointment was Ray didn't get more screen time in this, his last appearance.
interested in hearing everyones rankings for disney-canon star wars. I think I'm at: Andor Ahsoka Kenobi Ep 5-6 Mando 1 Fallen Order Mando 2 Tales of Bob A. Feet Survivor Mando 3 .. … …. somewhere in a galaxy far far away, 2, 3, 1 of the Sequels
The lightsaber building scene was sweet, but it bugged me that Huyang knew who Kanan was! I always thought he only would have ever known him as Caleb Dume
I figured Hera or Ahsoka told him that Kanan was Caleb (or he researched it himself). Given that in Ep. 5 Huyang told Carson that Jacen was the son of a Jedi named Kanan.
Baylan Was Standing on The Arm of a Stone Statue of the ''Father ,With the Son's Statue Behind him left side! (I figured Baylan Was Being called Bye Abeloth (She's the ''Mother'' Of the Mortis Gods'') Look her up. She's Crazing Looking! lol Its Sad About Ray Passing.... On top Of the Tragic Loss Of Ray. He was Amazing. As Far as this Show ( I think his Character Was gonna Be a Big part Going forward?) (Yea i heard Filoni has Skeleton Crew next...Fyi S ship gets Lost in another galaxy. Maybe How Ahsoka/Sabine Get back?) And where writing both Ahsoka Season 2 /Mando Season 4 (Tie it with a Movie...If that Movie Does Well It will be a trilogy !
12:34 what’s this if you wanna know a little more about the light saber fighting forms. It’ll also give you a much greater appreciation for Mace Windu. In my opinion, he got massively short changed in the movies. ua-cam.com/video/WP7sbwbIzks/v-deo.htmlsi=nm58hf8CaUCj7ef1
That ending was interesting. I hope we get a season 2, I'm very interested to know if we are going to see Zeb, Kalus, Rex and have a bit more information on what's gonna happen to Thrawn. I'm not sure if you noticed that or not, but the rocks Baylan was standing on back in 17:24 was a sculpture of the Father and next to him was the Son, from the Mortis arc. Great reaction as always... You're almost without Star Wars content to watch, it's basically just the Sequels now (and I gotta admit, not my favorite). Also, no joke, you comment on this before, I also made a comment about it, but is there any plans for you to do a reaction of a reaction? You know so much more about Star Wars now and I just think it would be hilarious if you watch at least your Phantom Menace reaction.
I know I'm way late here, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents. Yes, but it's not just that Ezra and Thrawn swapped places with Ahsoka and Sabine. Thrawn's banishment was a sort-of stalemate. This "swap" is about to allow a lot of different things to happen: Thrawn can take an active role in commanding the Imperial remnants; The Nightsisters might be able to reestablish Dathomir; Baylan is able to pursue whatever power he seeks, which seems connected to Mortis; Ahsoka, who has the life-force of the Daughter in her, will be there to stop or possibly cooperate with him; Anakin, now a Force ghost, might be able to play his role as the Father in whatever Mortis family drama might unfold; Shin's now kinda her own faction, and may be an interesting wrench; and Sabine's finally become a proper Jedi. So, compared to the beginning of the show, there's now a lot more momentum in story progress for multiple plot lines. Otherwise, I think it's worth acknowledging that the main plot for this season (not to be confused with the season's involvement in the overarching plot of the show) is the reconciliation between Ahsoka, a strict Jedi who fears the dangers of a poorly trained Jedi, and Sabine, an emotional warrior who feels alone and under-appreciated. Both Ahsoka and Sabine had to learn to let go of certain things in order to work together effectively. Honestly, it's a great lesson on relationships and even psychology.
I feel a bit underwhelmed by this finale, I enjoyed the previous 3 episodes more. Overall I really liked this series, probably the most mystical of the Star Wars shows so far. I am really curious how non Clone Wars/Rebels fans reacted to this show.
I think it did a good job of wrapping up stuff in the series while also leaving it open ended for leading into the Filoni directed film and has nicely set that up Unfortunately we won’t get more of Ray Stevenson, they clearly intended to do with him with how this episode left him
love everyone’s love and enthusiasm for Diana Lee Inosanto, but I was talking about Rosario using a stunt double in thier fight, not Lee herself. She’s a badass, and I was waiting for it for 8 episodes.
Why are you quoting funnylilgalreacts pinned comment from her Ahsoka season finale reaction? Using it word for word doesn't really make sense when it refers to something she said in the video, not you lol
I’ve seen/heard a lot of rumors about a second season, and Dave Filoni IS working on a movie, but of course nothing has been revealed about it, so everything right now are just rumors and speculation.
Although I can’t say it’s a happy ending, it was a satisfying ending that tied up loose ends. Everyone who came was left behind, but both sides accomplished what they wanted. Our heroes got Ezra home and our villains returned Thrawn to the Galaxy. It feels like a very poetic ending that setup new beginnings.
What I found satisfying @@arobin6695 is that Ezra was finally able to return home, Sabine finally unlocked her potential, and Anakin finally finding peace with himself. Again I know that not everyone will be satisfied, but this is just my personal opinion.
It could be that the reason for showing little to nothing with Ray Stevenson in this last episode, is because they now need to use the footage they made, at a later point in time.
Hey, Emme! A mixed-bag finale that left me unsatisfied but still invested enough to want more. The title is, of course, a reference to C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe". THE BAD: The action leading up to the finale lacked urgency and credibility. Ahsoka and company needlessly put the Noti at risk by traveling with them. Time is of the essence! Why are they trundling along like turtles? The TIE fighter attack should have been devastating! The heroes were practically stationary! Too much plot armor! All Thrawn needed to do was ascend beyond leaping range and destroy the temple before they got to the front door. He had his cargo loaded already. No need to sacrifice troops or Elsbeth! His ploy for buying time by distracting the heroes with locating Ezra had worked! If he didn't want to disrespect the Witches, he could, alternatively, have had all the tower doors sealed to delay their ascent. Thrawn shouldn't be making stupid calls like this. The zombie troopers should have been more frightening and should have been hacked to pieces by the heroes! Without legs, they can only crawl, right? Without arms, they can't grab or fire, right? Without heads, they're dead, right? Sabine never came clean with Ezra and we never found out how he felt about her fateful decision to undo his sacrifice! That should have ben an emotionally charged and revealing scene! I do NOT approve of Sabine being able to wield the Force as capably as she did. It should not have been possible based on everything said about her in the show. Yes, she handled the Darksaber more skillfully than Din Djarin did meaning she has some Force-sensitivity but she should not be able to Force-push people across chasms! No Baylan and Shin except as cameos. Captain Enoch stands around doing nothing. That's AMOS BURTON under there! No real answers, no resolutions and nothing but set-up. THE GOOD: Dodging the aerial bombardment was exciting! The duel between Elsbeth and Ahsoka was excellent! The rotting Death Trooper flesh exposed was excellent! Ezra building a lightsaber with Kanan parts was cool. Ezra masquerading as a stormtrooper was a nice callback. Mother Talzin name-drop and her sword from "Clone Wars" was cool. Huyang talking about Kanan and using his proper name, Caleb Dume, was nice. Morai shows up! The Mortis colossi! Anakin's Force-ghost. The elements are in place but there are too many holes, vagueness, contrivances and plot armor in the story. TIMOTHY ZAHN, the creator of Thrawn, should have been asked to doctor the script. He's on the record as more than willing to return to the well! It didn't feel like a finale and left me frustrated. However, it engaged me enough that I want to return. Filoni needs to stop stage-managing ROSARIO DAWSON because Ahsoka is precious to him. She's a phenomenal actress and needs to be allowed to breathe to punch up the character. I suspect Filoni is giving her a lot of notes instead of allowing her to interpret the character. He should trust her instincts. She has never been anything short of amazing in everything else she has done! RAY STEVENSON will be sorely missed and difficult to replace but I hope they recast because this character has a story that needs telling. I highly recommend anyone who was taken with him to see his work as Titus Pullo in HBO's "Rome". That was a magnificent series!
Thx for your SW reactions it’s always nice to watch it with you! The Film you spoke about is actually confirmed. Will you watch the sequel trilogy next? I’m sure you’ll love them! And I would be happy to watch them again with your reaction!
Liked the series overall, cant help but feel that thrawn isnt as menacing as he should be like he was in rebels. This episode specifically I felt like he was kinda dumb actually?
If this was more real, Sabine being all cocky about her force powers, have Ezra jump and her force push doesn't work and he falls to death. After all of this to save him, she kills him. LOL
Super final episode, awesome reaction video. Great moments for everyone in the show. Baylan is searching for the Force Gods, Shin Hottie (she’s got anger issues and bangs which is a weakness of mine) found a boy band to lead, Sabine and Ahsoka finally got in sync as Master and Padawan, and Anakin is watching over them, Thrawn wins and returns with the witches and a new zombie army, and Ezra reunited with Hera. But now there are so many new questions. I don’t want to wait for the movie to find out. Even though I think it’s knots hilarious when you are mad, I love this reaction video because you were pretty much happy the entire time and didn’t threaten to destroy your stuff, not even once. Most of all, I love your dueling light saber shirt, very appropriate for this final episode. ❤
Unfortunate the actor of Baylon passed away looked like he was going to play a huge part. Great episode, not huge on Sabine having the force let alone already using it fluidly just seems like everyone can use the force which takes away alot from other Starwars material. Clone wars, comics and video game was about protecting force sensitive children, but kinda pointless making it seem like anyone can use the force meanwhile the blind dude in rogue one couldn't when he believed in the force more than any
Everyone has the potential. The Force is in all living beings. Those with natural talents, of course, are easier to identify and train. Especially important as the Jedi felt wild Force users were a danger to the galaxy. For those that would have to put in large effort and patience, it was better to just let it not go explored. Since episode one we have had hints of Sabine's unconscious connection to the Force, which Ahsoka identified early. Chirrut followed the religious aspects of the Force but his lack of training showed more about the state of the Jedi's Force stewardship than honing his potential. That said, I think we can all agree that given his blind luck, (pun intended) that the Force was with him.
Very underwhelming show. I liked the characterisation of everyone, but only one throwaway line referring to the secret bad guys, motivations weren't established for Thrawn, no mention of the Chiss and a self inflicted wound where they've got to go pick up Ahsoka and crew in the movie. I wasn't expecting anything crazy good from the show; Star Wars will never top Andor, but this was pretty shoddy as a set up show.
Morgan Elsbath went out with an ABSOLUTE BANG!! Her fight with Ahsoka was incredible
Emme saying "I'm basically a jedi" is everything!
You know its a good job you give those reminders at the end of your videos. I was moments away from becoming a disabled dehydrated bank robber.
Anakin at the end… that is a face of pride and happiness, but also of so much pain and regret.
I feel both bad and happy for Ray, I would've loved if his character went out with a big boom even if he is like.. one of the best characters since Disney took over. Now we know they gonna have to recast the character. Just hope they can find someone who can use what Ray did and built upon.
We can see now they had big things planned for the character. How much of that will change with Stevenson's passing?
I can see them taking one of two options - either recast Baylan, but risk the new performer not be able to deliver the same weight as Ray Stevenson, or to retire the character (e.g. as a mark of respect to the actor) by having the character die offscreen and instead rejig the plot originally intended for him to another character (e.g. having Shin try to figure out what her former master was up to).
3rd option: explore his story in a new animated series set afterwards.
@@SpaceRampageThat's what I'm hoping for.

I love how Sabine in the end fights with a light saber in one hand and a blaster in the other. This is her true form.
Cal Kestis style
You mention Morgan using her non-dominant hand to hold the back of her blade. That's a very real fighting technique that is detailed in medieval manuals of arms, and it's called half-swording. Basically it gives you much more control over the blade, with the disadvantage of losing reach. Historically it was most often done to try to get blades in between plates of armour.

Emme: what does this mean for Ezra?
Kanan: Ezra's doing fine on his own
Sato: You mean he escaped, on his own?
Kanan: yeah, he tends to do that
I thought of the same quote in that moment. 😁
Those two Death Troopers were already long-dead and turned into zombies 🧟♂️ before the other Night Troopers even died. _Literal_ Death Troopers 💀😰😱!
baylans quest has something to do with the mortis gods. notice the statue of the father pointing to the mountain with the light above it, the son to right and the daughter to the left but her head is missing. ahsoka seeing morai, the owl that represents the daughter. very very interesting. maybe the deal thrawn made with the mothers, getting them to dathomir. the crates are suspicious. are they witches going to be resurrected? this whole season is the start to an epic adventure!

Back in the old galaxy we will get New Republic with Ezra and the rest of the specters teaming up with the Mandalorians and maybe Luke vs Thrawn and fhe Imperial Remnant with an army of resurrected Night Sisters (that's what's in the coffins they are repopulating Dathomir) and I hope that doesn't lead us to the sequels explaining how the New Republic fell ect I'd rather the world between worlds being used to erase the sequels but I doubt we get that...
Morgan's actress is trained in Wushu. Shes actually Bruce Lee's god daughter and a martial arts legend. Most lightsaber choreographer is a mixture of aiido, kendo, and dance choreography. Her and Chirrut Imwe (Played by Donnie Yen) from Rogue One are the only two examples of the use of Kung Fu in Star Wars.

And that has a connection to Mortis as well. During the Mortis arc Anakin sees a mountain with a beacon on it and when he travels there inside that mountain is where he meets the Father. And I find it interesting that the statue of the father is pointing towards that mountain.
Anakin’s Force ghost appeared & Sabine sensed it before Ahsoka…Anakin’s watching over both of them.
in that last shot it's like it harps back to being part of a legacy b/c even though Sabine never met Anakin (as Anakin anyway i mean Darth Vader did roll up on them in rebels season 2) she felt his presence.
His little smirk is him going "Ya know, I'm glad I didn't kill her after all"
I figure, if nothing else, they'll somehow use the world between worlds to get back. They got there in Rebels through a mural of the Mortis gods and now they're on a planet that obviously has something to do with those gods.

4:05 Funnily enough, both stories revolve around a portal to another, secret world.
5:00 Looks like you cut it (and as such likely didn't notice it), but among the lightsaber parts on the table, you can see the top half of a Graflex flash (the thing the Skywalker lightsaber is made from) without its glass eye or bunny ear parts.
9:56 Not sure if you're aware, but in Legends continuity, there actually was a whole story about a zombie virus infecting an Imperial ship and making "Zombietroopers."
Also I'm very disappointed none of the Nighttroopers bonked their head on any of those doors.
10:05 Not sure why Ezra said it was new. He's literally seen this before, in Rebels when he and Sabine went to Dathomir with Maul.
12:20 The weapon Morgan is using is a Dathomirian Ichor Blade. It's basically the same thing as a Sith Blade (in Legends, Sith Swords were the direct predecessor to Protosabers; the predecessor to the Lightsaber). It's an ordinary, primitive metal sword, but is imbued with the Force. This is what allows it to duel against a lightsaber without issue.

But Sabine had to slightly adjust her grip on it and find the ignition switch (which she did quickly, but ever so slightly slower than a more experienced Jedi would have).
14:25 Minus one point for no Wilhelm Scream.
15:00 She always has been. (Also, Diana Lee Inosanto is the godchild of Bruce Lee. Also her father, Dan Inosanto was one of Bruce Lee's students and a major teacher of Jeet Kun Do).
15:15 Sabine finally, truly learned. If she and Ahsoka stay together, everything will be fine.
15:50 Good ol' Ezra shenanigans. Stealing armor and fooling everybody. You KNOW he loves doing that.
16:10 Once again, slightly disappointed with a Star Destroying "raining fire." Those IDSs have HUNDREDS of turbolasers. And Thrawn's using like... eight of them.
17:10 Its name is Morai.
17:40 How could you cut the shot of the statues??? Did you not notice it was the Father and Son?
19:11 It would seem they are stranded for now. Without the Eye of Sion or any Purgill, they don't have the capability to perform an intergalactic lightspeed jump.
19:55 Notice the lack of his famous scar. So this time it's really a force ghost.
Other thoughts:
Regarding the origins of the Witches of Dathomir (such as the Nightsisters). In Legends, it was established that the Witches of Dathomir were founded around 600 BBY by Jedi Knight Allya, who had been banished from the Jedi Order and exiled to Dathomir. She taught other women there how to use the Force, and they became the Witches of Dathomir. Allya even created the Book of Law (the code by which the Witches of Dathomir abide) from the teachings of the Jedi Order. Also, it was clearly stated that the Witches (other than Allya, of course) never learned that their magic was in-fact, the Force.
But now we're being told the Dathomiri and the Witches of Dathomir originated from another galaxy, and existed LONG before anything in the Galaxy existed.
in regards to 17:40 about the statues.
Thats is one of the downsides of reacting i think. sometimes there is too much reaction/talking and they miss things.
i think she also missed that the sword was talzin's because of the same reasons
To be fair in regards to you 10:40 comment, Ezra didn't see corpses be reanimated, just Kanan and Sabine being possessed Nightsister spirits.
You forgot to mention, because he doesn't appear in this finale, the most important person that Ezra Bridger will meet: Jacen Syndulla, son of Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus, Ezra's master, who they spent this first season building the character.
Hey Emme, Ahsoka’s ship would take a bunch of light years to get back to their galaxy. If you look at the Purgills when they’re in hyperspace, it looks different than every other ship we’ve seen in Star Wars. They are flying MUCH faster than any ship we’ve seen. That’s why they had to build the Eye of Scion with 9 hyperdrives.
Really loved your reactions to the show (and all your other star wars content as well!) Thanks Emme :)
Senator Xiono is going to eat his words when he sees the young man he believed to have died is actually *alive and well* with his own two eyes 😉😏, and hears _what_ he has to say 🤔.
Girl that's statues of the Mortis Gods lol
nice to see this straight after watching it myself. always a pleasure Emme
"Hera and the others can come get them, right?"
How? This is another galaxy completely unknown. They're stuck there.
As for Beylan, I don't know if you noticed, he was standing on a statue of the Father from Mortis and next to it was a statue of the Son. There is a theory that Beylan wants to free the Mother, or Abeloth. The mother is a symbol of death and chaos.
If they have the right coordinates, then they merely need to build a ship with a strong enough hyperspace engine to make the jump. So it is theoretically possible.
There are two ways that "Hera and the others" could come and get them, albeit they are far fetched.
1: Ezra is able to call upon the Pergill once more
2: They somehow are able to obtain the hyperspace coordinates and route from the Eye of Sion and use the Eye to go back or manage to build a new vessel capable of making that extragalactic journey.
My guess is they'll somehow find out what Baylan is doing or what he's doing will somehow draw their attention and they'll get back to the normal galaxy via the world between worlds.
Abeloth is apparently the "Anti-Force" (I think someone said somewhere 🤔). The Force itself hates her, it hates Sidious as well 🤔 (and the Rakatan Invaders too in that it robbed the Rakatans of their Force powers and killed them off 🤔).
Loved the finale! I hope we get a season 2 🙏
I KNOW RIGHT!!! felt like it was just yesterday that we were all waiting for the first episode to air....and now it's on it's season finale already!!! excitement runs so fast!! what an EPIC SHOW!! loved all your reactions....
It was a school day for Evan Whitten that day of Ezra's return, he was in a class with Admiral Ackbar, learning how to avoid traps
Sabine with her near-death experience helped her concert with the force ,,,, Sabine she's a late bloomer when it comes to the force some flowers bloom faster than others
The music when Ezra jumps onto the Star Destroyer...
Lol I think when Sabine stayed to help Ahsoka, we all forgot there was another ship for them to escape on.
Many thanks to Emme! 🟢 #EmmeReacts #StarWars #RickFamuyiwa #Ahsoka
"I am basically a Jedi at this point." 5:53 . The light over the dark blade on your tee confirm it.:) This short season was a trip. Pun intended. Didn't expect the cameo at the end. Only disappointment was Ray didn't get more screen time in this, his last appearance.
I loved seeing your reactions week by week of this wonderful series.
Your reactions are Always cool , the Final Episode was so emotional, I Hope for a season 2 🤞👌
Fantastic episode and reaction, hope they are setting up more
3:18 Scott Pilgrim earned the power of self-respect.
I luv that you're cheering for Sabine too. She's my favorite Jedi 🩷
Mandalorian Jedi you mean?😀😀
They really gave us a lot in the last episode, and really set up for next season.
It's called half swording and it is a actual martial arts technique in swordsmanship.
interested in hearing everyones rankings for disney-canon star wars. I think I'm at:
Andor
Ahsoka
Kenobi Ep 5-6
Mando 1
Fallen Order
Mando 2
Tales of
Bob A. Feet
Survivor
Mando 3
..
…
….
somewhere in a galaxy far far away, 2, 3, 1 of the Sequels
The last Emme at night for a long while.
The lightsaber building scene was sweet, but it bugged me that Huyang knew who Kanan was! I always thought he only would have ever known him as Caleb Dume
I figured Hera or Ahsoka told him that Kanan was Caleb (or he researched it himself). Given that in Ep. 5 Huyang told Carson that Jacen was the son of a Jedi named Kanan.
the bird is called Morai :)
Baylan Was Standing on The Arm of a Stone Statue of the ''Father ,With the Son's Statue Behind him left side! (I figured Baylan Was Being called Bye Abeloth (She's the ''Mother'' Of the Mortis Gods'') Look her up. She's Crazing Looking! lol
Its Sad About Ray Passing.... On top Of the Tragic Loss Of Ray. He was Amazing.
As Far as this Show ( I think his Character Was gonna Be a Big part Going forward?)
(Yea i heard Filoni has Skeleton Crew next...Fyi S ship gets Lost in another galaxy.
Maybe How Ahsoka/Sabine Get back?) And where writing both Ahsoka Season 2 /Mando Season 4 (Tie it with a Movie...If that Movie Does Well It will be a trilogy !
12:34 what’s this if you wanna know a little more about the light saber fighting forms. It’ll also give you a much greater appreciation for Mace Windu. In my opinion, he got massively short changed in the movies.

I think the “cargo” were more witches. Ezra did say that Thrawn awakened the witches but there certainly had to be more than just three.
That ending was interesting. I hope we get a season 2, I'm very interested to know if we are going to see Zeb, Kalus, Rex and have a bit more information on what's gonna happen to Thrawn. I'm not sure if you noticed that or not, but the rocks Baylan was standing on back in 17:24 was a sculpture of the Father and next to him was the Son, from the Mortis arc. Great reaction as always... You're almost without Star Wars content to watch, it's basically just the Sequels now (and I gotta admit, not my favorite). Also, no joke, you comment on this before, I also made a comment about it, but is there any plans for you to do a reaction of a reaction? You know so much more about Star Wars now and I just think it would be hilarious if you watch at least your Phantom Menace reaction.
No please not the sequels 😁
I wanna see your reactions to Resistance lol it will be fun
Shadows in the starlight 💖
Seems like the whole season was about them swapping places. Am i wrong? Ezra swapped places with the other two.
I know I'm way late here, but I thought I'd throw in my two cents.
Yes, but it's not just that Ezra and Thrawn swapped places with Ahsoka and Sabine. Thrawn's banishment was a sort-of stalemate. This "swap" is about to allow a lot of different things to happen: Thrawn can take an active role in commanding the Imperial remnants; The Nightsisters might be able to reestablish Dathomir; Baylan is able to pursue whatever power he seeks, which seems connected to Mortis; Ahsoka, who has the life-force of the Daughter in her, will be there to stop or possibly cooperate with him; Anakin, now a Force ghost, might be able to play his role as the Father in whatever Mortis family drama might unfold; Shin's now kinda her own faction, and may be an interesting wrench; and Sabine's finally become a proper Jedi. So, compared to the beginning of the show, there's now a lot more momentum in story progress for multiple plot lines.
Otherwise, I think it's worth acknowledging that the main plot for this season (not to be confused with the season's involvement in the overarching plot of the show) is the reconciliation between Ahsoka, a strict Jedi who fears the dangers of a poorly trained Jedi, and Sabine, an emotional warrior who feels alone and under-appreciated. Both Ahsoka and Sabine had to learn to let go of certain things in order to work together effectively. Honestly, it's a great lesson on relationships and even psychology.
Everyone is right where they belong I can’t wait to see what Ahsoka, Sabine, Baylon and Shin do next
WHAT MADE IT FUNNIER IS HEARING IT FORE THE FIRST TIME IN AN AMERICAN ACSENT ❤❤
So did the howlers at the bottom of the towers die to the zombies or the building collapsing
Morgan played by Diana Lee Inosanto is a true martial artist, God Daughter of Legendary Bruce Lee
Enoch is the grandfather of Noah in the Old testament
I feel a bit underwhelmed by this finale, I enjoyed the previous 3 episodes more. Overall I really liked this series, probably the most mystical of the Star Wars shows so far. I am really curious how non Clone Wars/Rebels fans reacted to this show.
I think it did a good job of wrapping up stuff in the series while also leaving it open ended for leading into the Filoni directed film and has nicely set that up
Unfortunately we won’t get more of Ray Stevenson, they clearly intended to do with him with how this episode left him
I highly recommend you to make some research on Abeloth
love everyone’s love and enthusiasm for Diana Lee Inosanto, but I was talking about Rosario using a stunt double in thier fight, not Lee herself. She’s a badass, and I was waiting for it for 8 episodes.
Why are you quoting funnylilgalreacts pinned comment from her Ahsoka season finale reaction? Using it word for word doesn't really make sense when it refers to something she said in the video, not you lol
Emme "I'm basically a Jedi at this point."
Me- skeptical 😅
I’ve seen/heard a lot of rumors about a second season, and Dave Filoni IS working on a movie, but of course nothing has been revealed about it, so everything right now are just rumors and speculation.
The actress playing Morgan is Bruce Lee’s Goddaughter and a true master of his kung fu. That is why she is so agile.
So excited
I was really hoping to get a glimpse of the Mortis Mother in the finale
Is it now the turn of the Sequel Trilogy? (Episodes VII, VIII and XI)
Although I can’t say it’s a happy ending, it was a satisfying ending that tied up loose ends. Everyone who came was left behind, but both sides accomplished what they wanted. Our heroes got Ezra home and our villains returned Thrawn to the Galaxy. It feels like a very poetic ending that setup new beginnings.
what was satisfying about it? they fought some stormtroopers and thrawn left without ever interacting with any of the main characters
What I found satisfying @@arobin6695 is that Ezra was finally able to return home, Sabine finally unlocked her potential, and Anakin finally finding peace with himself. Again I know that not everyone will be satisfied, but this is just my personal opinion.
I always adore your reactions, Emme. See you in December for Skeleton Crew. :)
It could be that the reason for showing little to nothing with Ray Stevenson in this last episode, is because they now need to use the footage they made, at a later point in time.
Live-Action Ezra has made me like Ezra a lot more in general.
Thrwan would make a rather bad UA-cam reactor, but I would watch him reviewing art and think his cultural insights could be interesting.
Star wars is getting marvel endgame vibes for years to come with ashoka,the mandalorian and book of boba fett
Hey emme your forgot to notice that this is mortis watch the end with baylen again
Hey, Emme! A mixed-bag finale that left me unsatisfied but still invested enough to want more.
The title is, of course, a reference to C.S. Lewis' "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe".
THE BAD:
The action leading up to the finale lacked urgency and credibility.
Ahsoka and company needlessly put the Noti at risk by traveling with them.
Time is of the essence! Why are they trundling along like turtles?
The TIE fighter attack should have been devastating! The heroes were practically stationary! Too much plot armor!
All Thrawn needed to do was ascend beyond leaping range and destroy the temple before they got to the front door. He had his cargo loaded already. No need to sacrifice troops or Elsbeth! His ploy for buying time by distracting the heroes with locating Ezra had worked! If he didn't want to disrespect the Witches, he could, alternatively, have had all the tower doors sealed to delay their ascent. Thrawn shouldn't be making stupid calls like this.
The zombie troopers should have been more frightening and should have been hacked to pieces by the heroes! Without legs, they can only crawl, right? Without arms, they can't grab or fire, right? Without heads, they're dead, right?
Sabine never came clean with Ezra and we never found out how he felt about her fateful decision to undo his sacrifice! That should have ben an emotionally charged and revealing scene!
I do NOT approve of Sabine being able to wield the Force as capably as she did. It should not have been possible based on everything said about her in the show. Yes, she handled the Darksaber more skillfully than Din Djarin did meaning she has some Force-sensitivity but she should not be able to Force-push people across chasms!
No Baylan and Shin except as cameos.
Captain Enoch stands around doing nothing. That's AMOS BURTON under there!
No real answers, no resolutions and nothing but set-up.
THE GOOD:
Dodging the aerial bombardment was exciting!
The duel between Elsbeth and Ahsoka was excellent!
The rotting Death Trooper flesh exposed was excellent!
Ezra building a lightsaber with Kanan parts was cool.
Ezra masquerading as a stormtrooper was a nice callback.
Mother Talzin name-drop and her sword from "Clone Wars" was cool.
Huyang talking about Kanan and using his proper name, Caleb Dume, was nice.
Morai shows up!
The Mortis colossi!
Anakin's Force-ghost.
The elements are in place but there are too many holes, vagueness, contrivances and plot armor in the story. TIMOTHY ZAHN, the creator of Thrawn, should have been asked to doctor the script. He's on the record as more than willing to return to the well! It didn't feel like a finale and left me frustrated. However, it engaged me enough that I want to return.
Filoni needs to stop stage-managing ROSARIO DAWSON because Ahsoka is precious to him. She's a phenomenal actress and needs to be allowed to breathe to punch up the character. I suspect Filoni is giving her a lot of notes instead of allowing her to interpret the character. He should trust her instincts. She has never been anything short of amazing in everything else she has done!
RAY STEVENSON will be sorely missed and difficult to replace but I hope they recast because this character has a story that needs telling. I highly recommend anyone who was taken with him to see his work as Titus Pullo in HBO's "Rome". That was a magnificent series!
...and I thought the title was referencing the 1991 comedy "The Favour, the Watch and the Very Big Fish"
Thx for your SW reactions it’s always nice to watch it with you!
The Film you spoke about is actually confirmed.
Will you watch the sequel trilogy next? I’m sure you’ll love them! And I would be happy to watch them again with your reaction!
The Lion the witch and the wardrobe that's what I said also
Star Wars always comes back to Anakin. Disney needs to come to terms with that.
HAYYYYDDDDEEEENN
🍿
😱😱😱😱
Liked the series overall, cant help but feel that thrawn isnt as menacing as he should be like he was in rebels. This episode specifically I felt like he was kinda dumb actually?
If this was more real, Sabine being all cocky about her force powers, have Ezra jump and her force push doesn't work and he falls to death. After all of this to save him, she kills him. LOL
Super final episode, awesome reaction video. Great moments for everyone in the show. Baylan is searching for the Force Gods, Shin Hottie (she’s got anger issues and bangs which is a weakness of mine) found a boy band to lead, Sabine and Ahsoka finally got in sync as Master and Padawan, and Anakin is watching over them, Thrawn
wins and returns with the witches and a new zombie army, and Ezra reunited with Hera.
But now there are so many new questions.
I don’t want to wait for the movie to find out.
Even though I think it’s knots hilarious when you are mad, I love this reaction video because you were pretty much happy the entire time and didn’t threaten to destroy your stuff, not even once.
Most of all, I love your dueling light saber shirt, very appropriate for this final episode. ❤
Unfortunate the actor of Baylon passed away looked like he was going to play a huge part. Great episode, not huge on Sabine having the force let alone already using it fluidly just seems like everyone can use the force which takes away alot from other Starwars material. Clone wars, comics and video game was about protecting force sensitive children, but kinda pointless making it seem like anyone can use the force meanwhile the blind dude in rogue one couldn't when he believed in the force more than any
Everyone has the potential. The Force is in all living beings. Those with natural talents, of course, are easier to identify and train. Especially important as the Jedi felt wild Force users were a danger to the galaxy. For those that would have to put in large effort and patience, it was better to just let it not go explored. Since episode one we have had hints of Sabine's unconscious connection to the Force, which Ahsoka identified early. Chirrut followed the religious aspects of the Force but his lack of training showed more about the state of the Jedi's Force stewardship than honing his potential. That said, I think we can all agree that given his blind luck, (pun intended) that the Force was with him.
Emme the white
Very underwhelming show. I liked the characterisation of everyone, but only one throwaway line referring to the secret bad guys, motivations weren't established for Thrawn, no mention of the Chiss and a self inflicted wound where they've got to go pick up Ahsoka and crew in the movie. I wasn't expecting anything crazy good from the show; Star Wars will never top Andor, but this was pretty shoddy as a set up show.
first
Well, the Sequel Trilogy doesn't seem so bad anymore, right?
Remind me not to ever take you to the movies 🍿😂😂 wow this was hard to watch sorry
And why was it hard to watch? I don’t get it.
I love @dave_filoni the show @ahsokaofficial and I love you Ezra Bridger @EmanEsfandi ❤️🔥🙌
Your reactions are Always cool , the Final Episode was so emotional, I Hope for a season 2 🤞👌
