      I think Ezra could take Shin, but Baylan defeated Ahsoka, so he’s nowhere near their level, he never was, except for the animal stuff. Also, the were on a real location filming for this new planet, why it looks better than the volume usually does.

    I love that Thrawn went to the Nightsisters and is using their help now with the Force. After losing twice to Force users, he needs a guide in understanding it. Thrawn overall in this episode was perfect!

      Still not enough for Thrawn to have the edge. His overreliance on predicting the future with the help of Nightsister magic will be his greatest downfall. The Force doesn't like it when someone either tries to outsmart it or break its rules. It will find a way to push back at him in the most ironic way.

    I love how much mystery came from this episode.
    Thrawn is definitely afraid of something. There are a lot of clues, that something weird is going on with Ezra.
    For one, Sabine found him within hours. There is simply no way Thrawn wasn’t able to find him as well. He’s purposely avoided him IMO. The witches themselves seemed afraid of jedis.
    Two, Thrawn refused to commit too many resources to helping Baylon. Saying that they have taken heavy losses already.
    If I was a guessing man, I would say that the admiral is afraid of Ezra.
    Baylon himself spoke of a power he could feel, and also hinted at the fact that Thrawn and company are afraid of something on the planet.
    Either Ezra has become very powerful or he’s allied with something very powerful.

    For anyone confused with the lore and what he meant when he said he need more dark magic: None of the stormtroopers are alive, they're undead raised by the nightsisters. So basically Thrawn meant that he need more undead in his army in order to not be defeated by Ahsoka Tano. He could've meant something more too, but that's the main reason he need their help. To raise undead and understand the force even more so he's always prepared, that's how Thrawn is in general, prepared and calculating.

      Yeah always thought of the force like that since the beginning.

    I think Ezra's mark on the Ahsoka series will be his lessons from his time in Rebels; Ahsoka feared tapping into the darkside and losing herself like Anakin, but Ezra went further than she ever did and still found his way back. Sabine worries about not being able to tap into the force to be a powerful jedi, but Ezra's greatest strength with the force has always been outside of physical power, which he could help her understand as she already has physical prowess as a Mandalorian and could learn from him how to tap into a greater sense of awareness utilizing the force. I believed from the beginning that Sabine would be more of a sensory type, and Ezra could help her understand that side of the force better while also showing Ahsoka how he's able to understand the delicate balance of tapping into both paths of the force to utilize anger without it turning into corruption.

    I liked when Shin questions Baylen, almost as an objection, about honoring his agreement with Sabine once Thrawn tells them to go after her..
    Shows despite her fights with Sabine, she is not moved by a sense of revenge (wanting to see kill her/seeing her getting killed), and that honor is something she values.
    Just like Baylan although not being a jedi, is always contemplating and pondering. Gives a total old school jedi vibe.
    GOD DAMN what a terrible loss was Ray Stevenson's passing. Firstly because of him as a human being, secondly for his legacy but also how he managed to bring so much presence and personality to this character.
    So far Baylan and Shin, to me, has been two of the best (character) additions to the Star Wars universe since a long time.

    Something I found interesting, I think the shell creatures language might be inspired be the Māori language (indigenous people of New Zealand). When first speaking to Sabine after being threatened it says "Mataku ahau", which means "I'm scared" in Māori. Then soon after when asked if he knows Ezra he says "ai, ai, mohio ana" which means "yes yes I know"... then when they all leave to take Sabine to Ezra they say "tatou, tatou", which means "all of us (together)"... I can't understand everything the creatures say but it definitely sounds like the Māori language to me.

    Im very certain that all of those troopers are dead and resurrected through nightsister magic. The symbology is there with all the wrapped (in nightsister color cloth bands) and Kintsugi armor, except twisted as is Thrawn's general MO of collecting these different cultures and incorporating pieces into his beliefs and convictions. The kintsugi trooper army feels a lot like the terracotta army.

  • @davthemusicgeek22

    The emotion that I felt seeing Ezra and Sabine interacting again after so long...
    It made me feel like the 8th grader that I was when I was watching the final season of Star Wars Rebels. It's been so long since we've seen Ezra, and seeing him back after such a long time... that was such an impactful moment. It made me feel like I was back in that time, when things for me were all that more simplistic.
    There's been only a handful of times where I've cried during an episode or a movie, and this was one of those times. 5 and a half years since the ending of Star Wars Rebels. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever expect to see these characters again, much less in live-action. This has been a very special show.
    On that same subject, seeing Lars Mikkelsen absolutely nail the live-action adaptation of Thrawn, just as he did in Rebels, was so beautiful and so special to see. Seeing Thrawn out of all people being in need of magic was an interesting twist that I'm excited to learn more about.
    Overall, in my opinion, I genuinely believe that Episode 6 is up there with Episode 5 for best episode of the series. I don't think I'm ready to put 6 over 5 just yet, but 6 is making a very strong case for that.
    This episode felt like Rebels throughout and it was so special. I can't wait for the final 2 episodes to see how this story concludes. It's gonna be really awesome and really special, that's for sure.

    Reasons this is one of the all time best episodes of Star Wars ever made:
    1) The long anticipated return of Thrawn not only paid off but FAR exceeded our already high expectations. He was already perfect in Rebels, but FINALLY seeing Lars Mikkelsen play Thrawn in live action proves was was born to play Grand Admiral Thrawn!
    2) The moment I heard “I knew I could count on you” from Eman Esfandi as Ezra I almost cried.
    3) Baylan Skoll is proving to be one of the most complex and compelling characters in all of Star Wars. He managed to see not only that the Jedi had fallen even before Order 66 because of how they had become so blinded by their own hubris and hypocrisy, but he sees that the Galaxy can never be governed for long or even properly by either a Republic nor an Empire. So he is looking for a new power that will outlast all of them.
    4) The Nightsisters being the lynchpin that ties everything together. Now it makes sense how an incredibly ancient map could lead to where Thrawn was currently, because Morgan was told so in her visions by the Night Mothers, who were instructed by Thrawn. And in exchange for aiding Thrawn, he would take them and whatever their cargo is (and I have a bad feeling I might know what it is) back to our Galaxy.

But I feel like there's a bigger story behind the scenes as this galaxy clearly has it's own Light vs Dark war going on and we might be going deeper into that. Hopefully.

The Empire was so hellbent on regaining power they sought out magic and power they don't full understand. I also thinkAhsoka, Sabine and Ezra will get back home, but lost in the galaxy. Enter Skeleton Crew to the rescue (maybe in the Skeleton Crew finale) to tie it all together.

I'm enjoying more detail regarding the Dathomirian Witches and their ways of connecting with the Living/Cosmic Force and all that is getting special attention. I totally love how, with one word or phrase, Filoni can alter the entire Star Wars canon (Bokken Jedi.) Wow. All the wolf-like visuals... all Filoni. But Thrawn... one can tell that Lars is having an absolute blast playing this character in live action. It's just too cool for school to finally see him. Did you catch the "catacombs" comment? He's bringing an undead army with him! Enoch reminds me of a character from Fallout: New Vegas. Legate Lanius. Kudos to the practical effects team, they are so talented. Ezra looks like his dad from the photo from Rebels. Last bit, a prediction... Thrawn wants to know all about Ahsoka including who her master was... tie in to Zahn's novel "Alliances."
