Ahsoka should’ve contacted Luke immediately when 3 new “sith” suddenly show up. And the inquisitor could be Barriss, it’s not Starkiller, wouldn’t work in canon, and Ahsoka and Luke would both be toast, and it’s not Ezra, cause Thrawn is still trapped in the new beyond. Also, Dave said in the rebels recon behind the scenes show, that Ezra and Sabine’s relationship isn’t romantic in any way, so 100% confirmed there’s nothing there.
@@ncard00 filoni has definitely brought EU info and storylines and made them canon. I'm not going to guess what his motives are or where he's pulling info from but I'm so down for it.
The final Rebels scene happens at the end of Ahsoka Ep. 2. We are seeing the in between that happened "off camera" during Rebels until they head out to look for Ezra. Time has passed since Hera's son is def at least a couple of years old during the Rebels epilogue.
Ezra disappeared with Thrawn 1 BBY, Ahsoka is set somewhere around 9-12 ABY. So it’s been over 10 years since Ezra disappeared. A lot can happen in 10 years.
Sadly, that era of the books aren't canon any longer, not since Disney took over. But FIloni has been seeding things back in, and Thrawn is very much a part of that, to the point where Zahn wrote a NEW Thrawn trilogy to fit him into new canon. It's not quite the same, but it's better than nothing :)
You think those awards mean anything these days? Hardly anyone watches those elitist snob awards shows these days. BTW, House of The Dragon and The Last of Us will win all of them.
I haven't watched Rebels, but I know who the characters are from the internet, other people, etc. I didn't have trouble following and I actually like what they've set up for these characters with the master-apprentice relationships, search for Ezra and Thrawn, and the rest. Can't wait for more!
I love show. It's a show, I never watched Rebels, or Clone Wars. But I don't watch animated shows ! But I can follow a storyline, and they have explained this in many reactions and many reactors have explained who these people are. So, I'm not lost at all, after all it's all fiction😂😂
Same, never seen Rebels or Clone Wars but I still understood what was going on and know the characters from the internet, reactors, etc. I loved it and can't wait to see more!
If you look closely at Ezra when he was calling Sabine like a sister he ran his fingers through his hair. That is typically a nervous gesture (ie...he meant more but was embarrassed and didn't say it).
I think that the end scene in Rebels with Ahsoka the White, happened before this series. Right after the collapse of the Empire. It was the moment that Ahsoka started training Sabine. And Ahsoka just returned from whatever she was doing during the OT. Just a thought which makes sense for myself.
Clancy Brown as Ryder Like he was in rebels he's the governor they got the same voice actor and everything I was pretty surprised to see that... Also the voice of Savage oppress
He's 4 Wars characters. Savage Oppress, Ryder, the one member on the crew in that Prison Break episode in season 1 of the Mandalorian and the Inquisitor Ahsoka Merced in TOTJ
Guys, remember some time had passed since Ezra and Thrawn went to the outer reaches and when Ahsoka "The White" came to get Sabine to find Ezra. Hera was in the Ghost with her and Kanan's son, Jacen, and he wasn't a toddler then! I think Ahsoka started training Sabine not long after Kanan died and then they parted ways for some reason which is why they both seem a little distant upon meeting again.
You would have to take into consideration Sabine lost her homeworld just as much as Din djarin, bo katan and so many other mandalorians in the night of a thousand tears, and I think ahsoka wanted to help but couldn't at the time you have to remember, ahsoka still had a Jedi training for patience and choosing when to get involved where's Sabine is mandalorian and we do mandalorians are passionate
Ahsoka is the epitome of a True Jedi, when she says I am no Jedi, She means she does not agree with the Jedi ways or the Jedi Council. But is the Personification of a true Jedi to the Living Force. Qui Gon Jin!
HOLY FREAKING CRAP, THESE TWO EPISODES FELT LIKE A FULL LENGTH THEATRICAL MOVIE! If it wasn’t evident before, these 2 episodes prove that Dave Filoni is the true apprentice and successor of George Lucas. His eye for the details of the same classic samurai films that inspired Lucas is all over this show. What’s really surprising is that these episodes are made in a way that even people who didn’t see Rebels can get into this show without being lost, while hardcore fans like myself who watched it from day one are well and truly rewarded for watching it from beginning to end. I especially love the actresses for Ahsoka, Sabine and Hera! And I love that Clancy Brown got to play the same character he voiced in Rebels. And Ray Stevenson as always was perfect, Rest In Peace Ray, we will never forget you!
Surprised you didn't like Andor. I thought I wasn't going to like because when it comes to Star Wars I enjoy the Jedi/Sith, lightsaber stuff more, but I actually really enjoyed. Great show in my opinion, buy hey, to each their own..
Unfortunately the inquisitor isn't Barriss. He's a new character called Marrok who's an ex imperial inquisitor who now works for Morgan Elsbeth. Though if rumours are to be believed, Barriss might still appear though I definitely think it'll be later in series I really hope she shows up
Oh man I LOVED the down time moments in Andor it felt like a Star Wars novel come to life where we see the in-between moments. It showcased the average life of someone in the Star Wars galaxy and for me that elevates the magical, force side of Star Wars. So when you contrast it with the grounded street level stuff you get to see how magical the Star Wars galaxy actually is in the eyes of an everyday person. It's like the comic book "Marvels" where we see through the eyes of a reporter looking up at the hero's of the Marvel universe, instead of seeing through the eyes of the hero's we're seeing through the eyes of the everyday person and that to me makes the force more powerful and magical. I agree it's not for everyone and show's like Bad Batch even had episodes like the The Outpost in Season 2 which felt very Andor but still remained a more welcoming pace for fans who prefer faster moving shows. I'm one of those people who could watch Star Wars characters walking around a retro futuristic office building talking about the sports of Star Wars and if the writing is great I'd eat that right up. So far I love Ahsoka it feels like a mix of Rebels and Clone Wars with the slowness and grittiness of Rogue One and Andor. The Art Style pulls heavily from Ralph McQuarrie's work, as did rebels so it has a very retro Star Wars look and feel and that's something I adore. The future episodes will speed up no doubt but I hope they go all Andor with Thrawn, give me scenes of him just speaking on a bridge with random people or him just overlooking his art work and speaking about it. The tone of Andor is perfect for a character like Thrawn and that's the same tone I felt when reading Heir to the Empire.
Loved Rebels so I'm excided for this. Qui-Gon had to wait for an entire fight to finish before receiving treatment and Kenobi would have had to use his entire life Force in order to bring him back.
Andor: best reviewed, highest audience scores, most watched series out of Star Wars TV, with award nominations based on that originality. I'm sorry the maturity of that show couldn't appease your immaturity for, "I want the simpleton spoon fed, always just a meta story; or I will be unhappy, and bitch about it...and pretend my opinion is everything."
How very elitist of you. And complete and utter bunk. Andor is ma*turbation without the payoff. It's like 5 seasons of soap opera drama building up a war they solve in 1 afternoon
Well you can understand it and still not finding entertaining tho it's like I'm great at chess but I still find boring because I still prefer to practice sports and playing video games or travel or doing something else if I want a complicated plot etc will just grab a book not watch a series or a movie just saying
Plus a complete series or movie should always have good action while also not lacking in any other aspect so the 2 things should complete eachother not exclude on or the other 😊
Mannnn i loved Andor. Its crazy how divisive that show is in the community. You either think its the absolute best thing to come with the Star Wars name in a long time or you absolutely hate it. Im of the former, one of my favorites.
Baylon wants to never have to relive something like Order 66 EVER again. It doesn’t matter to him which “side” wins as long as he will never be a victim again
You are the first reactors I’ve watched that thought the map looked like the one from Treasure Planet!!! Thank you!! It bugged the crap out of me that no one I’ve watched has mentioned it!
As a first-timer to anything Rebels, this was a nice start. I'm enjoying the look of the characters, I like seeing Ahsoka in action, I like the tone of the show and I'm digging the music. The story is going to be an intriguing one, for sure. I'm really interested in seeing how this series, possibly, sets up the Dave Filoni Mandoverse movie. Also, Godspeed, Ray Stevenson. May the Force be with him and his family.
Ten years in-universe separate the last episode of "Rebels" and the first episode of "Ahsoka." Sabine is around 30 years old, here, and has a lot more history and "milage" on her now than when we last saw her. Presumably, a LOT has happened to her, and between her and Ahsoka, that we didn't see, and don't know about.
You've come out looking for war with those opening comments on Andor 😂 respect though, sometimes things don't work for us. Glad to see you guys are picking this series up! Definitely agree it's setting the stage and they needed to release both of these at once to work best, do think you get a whole lot more out of it from knowing that backstory from Rebels.
Qui-Gon died because he got stabbed through the spine and choose to willingly become one with the force which is how he trained Obi-Wan to do the same. Sabine got stabbed in the oblique.
Great reaction guys! For those that didn't watch rebels, they're missing out on all of these fan services that are in this series. If you watch Ezra's scene where he mentioned her as a sister.. he scratches his head before saying that line. To me, he's nervous and didn't really know what to say at that moment but "sister" But we all know that both of them are or should be a couple one day.
Respectfully people are entitled to their opinions. Everyone is not going to like the same things. I usually enjoy watching different reactions just for that reason. You shouldn't receive hate just because you didn't enjoy something. Thank you for your honesty.
Not Barriss ... you hear the character grunt when Ahsoka hits during a sequence, and it's definitely a male under that mask. Also, Baylan refered to that Inquisitor as "he" Not sure we're ever getting the definitive closure on Barriss. If they were seeking the death penalty on Ahsoka for the temple bombing, they most certainly did with Barriss - but was it carried out before everything went sideways in RotS? 🤷♀
That guy Ashoka fought in the second episode is just simply an inquisitor. I don’t who’s out there saying it’s starkiller. But that’s absurd for many reasons. One of them being if that was him Ashoka would of died very very quickly.
Remember Rebels took place between episodes 3 and 4 and ahsoka after episode 6 so something must have happened between the time of the original trilogy
I don't know what you were expecting with Andor?! Saying it suck is a disrespect. It's one of the best tv series I've watch, not just star wars series but in general. The cinematography was outstanding.
There’s a class called dark Jedi. If you read the books they are brought up a lot. Jedi is a force user group. There are many different groups. Ashoka is probably considered dark Jedi.
Ashoka isn’t a dark Jedi. Dark Jedi are Jedi who use the dark side of the force. They aren’t “Sith” in the traditional sense. The don’t follow the rule of two. They don’t follow sith teachings. But they do draw on the dark side. Baylan seems like a dark Jedi. He uses the dark side and craves power. Yet he follows Jedi tradition otherwise. Ashoka is more a gray Jedi (which is controversial, some people claim there’s no such thing). Gray Jedi are jedi in the middle. They seek absolute balance in the force, dark and light. They are the true neutral force users. Which Ashoka participating in the rebellion as a leader near the beginning seems to be more of a neutral good alignment if anything. But that could still put her closer to Gray Jedi than not since true balance would fight against the Empire too.
I've treasure planet watched it on disney+ and i enjoyed it, never saw it before but thanks to Disney+ i seen stuff that i never watched before like black cauldron and Titan A.E
Your opinion about Andor is the first time I have disagreed with you, I even agree with you on Mando S3, but to me Andor was the best live action Star Wars I've ever seen. However, it can be an aquired taste.
20:05 that is not Monk. (It’s Dr. Taub from House… among lots of other things; Peter Jacobson. Monk was Tony Shaloub, most recently in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.)
As someone who liked Andor, when he said “Andor sucked!” I laughed out loud just because it was so refreshing to hear someone not tripping over their dick overly-praising Andor 😜
I loved the first two eps literally never thought i was going to se ashoka in live action next to sabineeeeeeeeeeee, ive been fans of the for the longest time but mostly ashoka
Man, weird when people have a completely different opinion on something, but that's Star Wars for you. All I'll say is that it's refreshing for me to see things take their time, and have everything breath and take their time. Andor and, so far, Asohka seems to be going on a more cinematic path. Hopefully this series hits the mark!
Barriss couldn't be the Inquisitor. If she were in the Inquisition, Vader would have killed her. Her personality wouldn't allow for such an alliance. She was willing to die for the greater good; I truly don't believe she would join murderers. And why would she hunt for Ahsoka? Howewer We got a name - Marrok. Marrok is a reference to Arthurian legends. An honorable knight with that name was transformed into a wolf/hunter by a witch named Morgan (another reference). I don't believe in such a coincidence. Morgan Elsbeh might have an influence on him or will do something to him or might have already done something to him. It's even possible to replace Elsbeh with Sidious and Sith magic. In this case, Barriss fits into this theory but not only Barriss. My theory is more about potential connection between Marrok and Morgan Elsbeh.
Baylan & Shin are the total badass and I really find them interesting. I bet Shin is the daughter of Baylan. One thing I hated was the nerfing of the lightsabers
Two things: (1) Others elsewhere figured out that the villain names are all tied to stories of wolves, Dave Filoni's favorite animals. Skoll and Hati (Baylan & Shin's last names) are wolves from Scandinavian tales. Skoll chased the sun and Hati chased the moon. Marrok (the Inquisitor) comes from Sir Marrok, a knight from Arthurian legend. He was enchanted and turned into a wolf by sorceress Morgan Le Fey. Marrok the inquisitor serves Morgan. (2) I suspect the last mural scene is a parallel to the last scene in Rebels. Ahsoka does not have her staff (which she tapped with authority) and others have noted her robe is more of a gray here than white. The color could just be the difference between animation and live action, but that staff would be an important element to leave out. If they are two parallel events, I'd guess that the first (animation) was a new master calling her padawan to her side (possibly for an initial search), and the second is, of course, the actual pursuit of Ezra.
YESSS one of the first reactors to mention treasure planet when ahsoka found the map. I saw it and thought straight away wait that looks like the map from treasure planet
First thought I had about this? CAT! I love Sabine's cat! I love that it's voice is obviously a real cat that got recorded. It gives me feels like Omega, because she has an authentic Kiwi accent, and this loth-cat has a real cat voice. Second, Baylan feels like he has the Jedi calm, like he is someone who did come from the Temple system. while Shin feels fierce and wild. I love that Sabine's mural is part of this, and it is solidly the same picture as the animated show, like the whole art style of _Rebels_ is actually Sabine's art style. I feel like Winstead gives me huge Mom vibes in Hera. Maybe Winstead's age helps, 38 is early middle-age, and that face in Hera strikes me as someone who definitely has an adolescent son somewhere in the background (I am still hoping we see Jacen). Aside, Skoll and Hati are Norse names for the pair of wolves who chase the Sun and Moon, trying to eat them. I think Baylan and Shin's names were deliberate, but we need to wait and see if they are indicative. Ahsoka and Sabine's training seems to be an off-screen thing between the end of _Rebels_ and the start of this. I also think Ahsoka has some attachment trauma, after what happened to Anakin. But everything indicates that Sabine is also very strong-willed, so their separation must have been two-sided. I am willing to handwave Sabine's injury as being in the right place, friends got to her quickly and got her to medical treatment quickly, plus this is what, 30-40 years after Qui-Gon?
From what I understand about Starkiller, aka Galen Marek, having looked into him a little aftre he was mentioned in a fic, he is a game character from the game "Star wars: TheForce Unleashed", where he was Darth Vader's apprentice, but I presume he turned Good, or was never fully Dark. I would guess a lot of the game has to do with him getting away from Vader's control. What I do know however is the voice actor who Galen's character model is based on is also the same guy who has done a lot of the voice acting for Darth Maul, through Clone wars, Rebels, and apparently in Solo as well - Sam Witwer. The VA in TPM was someone else.
Other things I am waiting for is Anakin, hoping we get his ghost, but from the trailer, I think we definitely will get a Clone Wars flashback, and Rex, who I damn-well hope will be present-day Rex. Another aside, while looking up what is on Google about Sabine's cat, I saw a mention about Thrawn's actor, Lars Mikkelson, and it led me to somethign I had never looked into, that is he and Mads Mikkelson share a name for good reason, that is they are brothers.
I think Ahsoka is more "Bubbly" in BoBF because we see her hanging around Luke. Maybe she was in a better mood because she was connecting with Anakin's son in a positive way, so her issues were not up front right then.
But adding about Rebels exposure, I will admit, I have not watched Rebels, but I have read enough fanfic to get an outline, and I have an idea of how threatening Thrawn is because I did read the original "Heir to the Empire" novels back in my teens.
I like you guys so imma be nice. Sabine did not get stabbed in the chest. It was off to the side. At best she lost a kidney. Also Qui-Gon was hit in the solar plexus and had his spine severed, soooooo you do the math.
Filoni has been saying for years that Ezra and Sabine's relationship is not romantic. I think was his way of finally putting it to rest. No offense meant to any shippers
I have never watched Rebels....I am watching Ahsoka because I know she was Anakin 's padawan before he became Dark Vador..and she is interresting character. I was even more curious after watching her with the Mandalorian and Luke
Did you realize the guy playing the Governor on Lothal giving the speech was Ryder Azati (Sp?) who was in Rebels and is played in both cases I believe by the guy who also plays Savage Opress.

Ahsoka should’ve contacted Luke immediately when 3 new “sith” suddenly show up. And the inquisitor could be Barriss, it’s not Starkiller, wouldn’t work in canon, and Ahsoka and Luke would both be toast, and it’s not Ezra, cause Thrawn is still trapped in the new beyond.

For our friend Ray Stevenson. Truly can’t believed he passed away before the series was released
YEP MAY HE RIP

Ezra disappeared with Thrawn 1 BBY, Ahsoka is set somewhere around 9-12 ABY. So it’s been over 10 years since Ezra disappeared. A lot can happen in 10 years.
Andor was great in terms of writing, dialogue and mature storytelling!! What are you talking about?😂😂😂
I back you

Presumably, a LOT has happened to her, and between her and Ahsoka, that we didn't see, and don't know about.
You've come out looking for war with those opening comments on Andor 😂 respect though, sometimes things don't work for us. Glad to see you guys are picking this series up! Definitely agree it's setting the stage and they needed to release both of these at once to work best, do think you get a whole lot more out of it from knowing that backstory from Rebels.
Qui-Gon died because he got stabbed through the spine and choose to willingly become one with the force which is how he trained Obi-Wan to do the same. Sabine got stabbed in the oblique.
Great reaction guys! For those that didn't watch rebels, they're missing out on all of these fan services that are in this series. If you watch Ezra's scene where he mentioned her as a sister.. he scratches his head before saying that line. To me, he's nervous and didn't really know what to say at that moment but "sister" But we all know that both of them are or should be a couple one day.
Respectfully people are entitled to their opinions. Everyone is not going to like the same things. I usually enjoy watching different reactions just for that reason. You shouldn't receive hate just because you didn't enjoy something. Thank you for your honesty.
I know we all have our own opinions but saying andor sucked is insane
Took the words out of my mouth.
The disrespect toward Andor!!! You woke up and chose violence, sir!!! 😂
My wife never saw a second of rebels and she got it all pretty quick. She wanted to watch episode 2 as soon as we finished the first
He woke up and choose Violence!🤣🤣🤣🤣
I love how real you guys are. I don’t hate Andor but I love how freely you expressed that at the intro 😂
Not Barriss ... you hear the character grunt when Ahsoka hits during a sequence, and it's definitely a male under that mask. Also, Baylan refered to that Inquisitor as "he"
Not sure we're ever getting the definitive closure on Barriss. If they were seeking the death penalty on Ahsoka for the temple bombing, they most certainly did with Barriss - but was it carried out before everything went sideways in RotS? 🤷♀
The Mandalorian Season 3 was really good cant believe some people did not like it so much.
Both aren’t Sith. They are considered dark Jedi. Survivors of what was left of order 66.
That guy Ashoka fought in the second episode is just simply an inquisitor. I don’t who’s out there saying it’s starkiller. But that’s absurd for many reasons. One of them being if that was him Ashoka would of died very very quickly.
Remember Rebels took place between episodes 3 and 4 and ahsoka after episode 6 so something must have happened between the time of the original trilogy
Respect the honest opinion of Andor. Your wrong, but I respect it. :)
I don't know what you were expecting with Andor?! Saying it suck is a disrespect.
It's one of the best tv series I've watch, not just star wars series but in general. The cinematography was outstanding.
There’s a class called dark Jedi. If you read the books they are brought up a lot. Jedi is a force user group. There are many different groups. Ashoka is probably considered dark Jedi.
Ashoka isn’t a dark Jedi. Dark Jedi are Jedi who use the dark side of the force. They aren’t “Sith” in the traditional sense. The don’t follow the rule of two. They don’t follow sith teachings. But they do draw on the dark side. Baylan seems like a dark Jedi. He uses the dark side and craves power. Yet he follows Jedi tradition otherwise. Ashoka is more a gray Jedi (which is controversial, some people claim there’s no such thing). Gray Jedi are jedi in the middle. They seek absolute balance in the force, dark and light. They are the true neutral force users. Which Ashoka participating in the rebellion as a leader near the beginning seems to be more of a neutral good alignment if anything. But that could still put her closer to Gray Jedi than not since true balance would fight against the Empire too.
@@andmicbro1 my point is there are many classes of force users. People are stuck on the idea of sith and Jedi only.
The Inquisitors name is marrok and they are referred to as he. So definitely not Barriss, and I doubt it will be starkiller.
I agree with Kacee about how underrated treasure planet is lol
I've treasure planet watched it on disney+ and i enjoyed it, never saw it before but thanks to Disney+ i seen stuff that i never watched before like black cauldron and Titan A.E
come oooonnn man Andor was aweeesomeeeeeee
That’s Not Monk 😅😂
.
That’s “Don’t Get Short With Me Mr. Frodo” From ‘The Longest Yard’ 😅
She a jedi in spirit, but not by title.
Ezas and Saben shipper for life.
Your opinion about Andor is the first time I have disagreed with you, I even agree with you on Mando S3, but to me Andor was the best live action Star Wars I've ever seen. However, it can be an aquired taste.
Andor was a good show. it started slow but gained momentum as the episodes went by.
28:17 that is most assuredly NOT Monk (Tony Shaloub). that is Dr. Chris Taub from House (Peter Jacobson).
20:05 that is not Monk.
(It’s Dr. Taub from House… among lots of other things; Peter Jacobson. Monk was Tony Shaloub, most recently in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.)
Most people who watched this just wanted to watch Ahsoka for free but you keep interrupting the episode
I swear that's what I thought when I saw this map orb! It even opens the same way, classics everywhere 😂
As someone who liked Andor, when he said “Andor sucked!” I laughed out loud just because it was so refreshing to hear someone not tripping over their dick overly-praising Andor 😜
I agree. Ahsoka is too stoic and serious. I mean, trauma, I get it but in Rebels there was a warmth about her.
Jesus christ. It's been like 10 years. Stuff happens in 10 years.
I loved the first two eps literally never thought i was going to se ashoka in live action next to sabineeeeeeeeeeee, ive been fans of the for the longest time but mostly ashoka
Man, weird when people have a completely different opinion on something, but that's Star Wars for you. All I'll say is that it's refreshing for me to see things take their time, and have everything breath and take their time. Andor and, so far, Asohka seems to be going on a more cinematic path. Hopefully this series hits the mark!
You think it’s weird when people have different opinions from you?
Barriss couldn't be the Inquisitor.
If she were in the Inquisition, Vader would have killed her.
Her personality wouldn't allow for such an alliance. She was willing to die for the greater good; I truly don't believe she would join murderers.
And why would she hunt for Ahsoka?
Howewer
We got a name - Marrok.
Marrok is a reference to Arthurian legends. An honorable knight with that name was transformed into a wolf/hunter by a witch named Morgan (another reference). I don't believe in such a coincidence. Morgan Elsbeh might have an influence on him or will do something to him or might have already done something to him.
It's even possible to replace Elsbeh with Sidious and Sith magic.
In this case, Barriss fits into this theory but not only Barriss.
My theory is more about potential connection between Marrok and Morgan Elsbeh.
Baylan & Shin are the total badass and I really find them interesting. I bet Shin is the daughter of Baylan. One thing I hated was the nerfing of the lightsabers
Two things: (1) Others elsewhere figured out that the villain names are all tied to stories of wolves, Dave Filoni's favorite animals. Skoll and Hati (Baylan & Shin's last names) are wolves from Scandinavian tales. Skoll chased the sun and Hati chased the moon. Marrok (the Inquisitor) comes from Sir Marrok, a knight from Arthurian legend. He was enchanted and turned into a wolf by sorceress Morgan Le Fey. Marrok the inquisitor serves Morgan. (2) I suspect the last mural scene is a parallel to the last scene in Rebels. Ahsoka does not have her staff (which she tapped with authority) and others have noted her robe is more of a gray here than white. The color could just be the difference between animation and live action, but that staff would be an important element to leave out. If they are two parallel events, I'd guess that the first (animation) was a new master calling her padawan to her side (possibly for an initial search), and the second is, of course, the actual pursuit of Ezra.
YESSS one of the first reactors to mention treasure planet when ahsoka found the map. I saw it and thought straight away wait that looks like the map from treasure planet
First thought I had about this? CAT! I love Sabine's cat! I love that it's voice is obviously a real cat that got recorded. It gives me feels like Omega, because she has an authentic Kiwi accent, and this loth-cat has a real cat voice.
Second, Baylan feels like he has the Jedi calm, like he is someone who did come from the Temple system. while Shin feels fierce and wild.
I love that Sabine's mural is part of this, and it is solidly the same picture as the animated show, like the whole art style of _Rebels_ is actually Sabine's art style.
I feel like Winstead gives me huge Mom vibes in Hera. Maybe Winstead's age helps, 38 is early middle-age, and that face in Hera strikes me as someone who definitely has an adolescent son somewhere in the background (I am still hoping we see Jacen).
Aside, Skoll and Hati are Norse names for the pair of wolves who chase the Sun and Moon, trying to eat them. I think Baylan and Shin's names were deliberate, but we need to wait and see if they are indicative.
Ahsoka and Sabine's training seems to be an off-screen thing between the end of _Rebels_ and the start of this. I also think Ahsoka has some attachment trauma, after what happened to Anakin. But everything indicates that Sabine is also very strong-willed, so their separation must have been two-sided.
I am willing to handwave Sabine's injury as being in the right place, friends got to her quickly and got her to medical treatment quickly, plus this is what, 30-40 years after Qui-Gon?
From what I understand about Starkiller, aka Galen Marek, having looked into him a little aftre he was mentioned in a fic, he is a game character from the game "Star wars: TheForce Unleashed", where he was Darth Vader's apprentice, but I presume he turned Good, or was never fully Dark. I would guess a lot of the game has to do with him getting away from Vader's control.
What I do know however is the voice actor who Galen's character model is based on is also the same guy who has done a lot of the voice acting for Darth Maul, through Clone wars, Rebels, and apparently in Solo as well - Sam Witwer. The VA in TPM was someone else.
Other things I am waiting for is Anakin, hoping we get his ghost, but from the trailer, I think we definitely will get a Clone Wars flashback, and Rex, who I damn-well hope will be present-day Rex.
Another aside, while looking up what is on Google about Sabine's cat, I saw a mention about Thrawn's actor, Lars Mikkelson, and it led me to somethign I had never looked into, that is he and Mads Mikkelson share a name for good reason, that is they are brothers.
I think Ahsoka is more "Bubbly" in BoBF because we see her hanging around Luke. Maybe she was in a better mood because she was connecting with Anakin's son in a positive way, so her issues were not up front right then.
But adding about Rebels exposure, I will admit, I have not watched Rebels, but I have read enough fanfic to get an outline, and I have an idea of how threatening Thrawn is because I did read the original "Heir to the Empire" novels back in my teens.
I like you guys so imma be nice. Sabine did not get stabbed in the chest. It was off to the side. At best she lost a kidney. Also Qui-Gon was hit in the solar plexus and had his spine severed, soooooo you do the math.
ahhh SW never pushing the brother sister boundaries :P
Filoni has been saying for years that Ezra and Sabine's relationship is not romantic. I think was his way of finally putting it to rest. No offense meant to any shippers
Not liking andor is bizarre, it’s the best Star Wars content since season 7 of clone wars
Andor was the best 😊
I remember your channel when you started reacting to Mando 1, your knowledge of Star Wars has increased a lot during the years.
Ahsoka with the apple of eden from Assassins Creed lol.
Good to see that you liked this! I think one show you guys should deffinetly see is the Legend of Vox Machina!
I will not hear this Andor blasphemy. It was AMAZING.
It is stated that marok is a he when baylon tells morgan Elizabeth that marok will get the hyber drive she cleary states make sure He dose
Loved Andor
I love Andor, but I'm into the politics of the Star Wars universe, so I totally understand why some people don't like it so much
Damn the Andor take was the definition of mid
I have never watched Rebels....I am watching Ahsoka because I know she was Anakin 's padawan before he became Dark Vador..and she is interresting character. I was even more curious after watching her with the Mandalorian and Luke
Saying Andor is bad is definitely an opinion
Did you realize the guy playing the Governor on Lothal giving the speech was Ryder Azati (Sp?) who was in Rebels and is played in both cases I believe by the guy who also plays Savage Opress.
I dont think they are gonna make starkiller canon ever cuz he is so op, if that was him he wouldve destroyed ahsoka
Much like David Tennant and 10th Doctor's (from Doctor Who) personality in Huyang. I love it.
Actually Lady Ren got stab in the lower right side of her body, not in her chest 😊
It was perfect. Perrrrrfect!!! Everything, down to the last minute details.
So obviously Ezra, is the guy in the black suit and mask.
