The bird in the tree was Morai, a kind of 'Owl' that is strongly connected to the light side of the force and is always close to ahsoka :)
Indeed
@@ahsokatano5866 strong urge to make a "morai" account and just reply to every post you make.
@@senhowler hahha good idea ngl 😂
I completely missed Morai when I first watched the episide. When Natalie pointed it out, the light bulb in my mind came on immediately.
Bo-Katan's True Mandalorian group is also called the Nite Owls.
"was that a bird?"
clone wars and rebels fans: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
All I can say is Morai the convor aside from the screaming
Haven't seen either, what is it about?
@@Checkmate1138 That bird is Morai a convor, she's spiritually link to The Daughter. The Daughter was The Embodiment of The Light Side but after being mortally wounded by The Son ( The Embodiment of The Dark Side) with the help of Anakin she gave her remaining life force to Ahsoka which was previously killed by The Son . Since then Morai follows Ahsoka.
@@BMHorakhty All right, thank you, but everything you said just went totally over my head. 🤣
Basically, Ahsoka Tano, the Jedi, was Anakin's apprentice while he was a Jedi. She left the Jedi just before the Clone Wars ended and managed to escape from the Empire and helped start the Rebellion.
IMO, the best character in all of Star Wars
@@Chyll07 Well that award goes to original Luke, lets just forget sequel Luke
@@thecavalierpanda actually, no, not for me.
Ahsoka Tano never became a Jedi!! She left before she became a Jedi officially!!
@@BlueSuress And?
That smug and confident woman is the Goddaughter of martial arts legend Bruce Lee.
Yeah, this episode was an episode that was a tribute to Bruce Lee as well since it was released on his birthday November 27 - he would've been 80 years old if he had lived to this day.
that's a pretty good reason to be confident
And DAUGHTER to Dan Inosanto, famed martial arts teacher.
@@StarWarsMoments Dan Inosanto taught and sparred with Bruce Lee - no surprises there when he had his sparring partner/student be the Godfather to his daughter :)
Did Natalie recognize Michael Biehn? Especially since he was in Aliens !
"I've seen what such feelings can do to a fully trained jedi knight"
The pain is palpable
@@superklol2 pun?
@@superklol2 more like Palpatine
@@mjelves Don't you mean 'Palpatineable'? ;)
@@jsbrando4132 palpapineapple
Ahsoka being scared of training Grogu has more weight when you know she was Anakin's apprentice
lol..yeah...it makes it a lot heavier of a comment...
Especially the episode "Twilight of the Apprentice part 2" when Ahsoka and Vader duel, and she realizes Vader is Anakin.
Natalie: "It's a forest planet! I like forest planets."
Me: "Yeah, about that..."
Yeah, looks like Corvus has been exploited for its natural resources, and now the forests are close to death. :( Maybe with Morgan out of the way, the planet will get the time it needs to heal itself.
@@Nergalsama01 It's very similar to how Thrawn exploited the resources on Lothal during his TIE Defender project.
I prefer forest moons myself
"I am no Jedi."
The Clone Wars and Rebels animated series add a lot of context to a lot of The Mandalorian season 2, specifically the Dark Saber Moff Gideon wields, Bo-Katan Kryze and the general state of Mandalore and Mandalorian culture, and Ahsoka Tano.
Yeah it’s Weird watching her because she had no clue who she was because of not watching cws
The guy that the Mandalorian fights is Michael Biehn, he played Johnny Ringo in Tombstone, Kyle Reese in Terminator and Corporal Hicks in
Aliens
That's john's dad?
I was disappointed he died so quickly. Was hoping he will stay in the show.
Not to mention Commander McNeil in Command & Conquer: Tiberian Sun, alongside fellow Star Wars alumni James Earl Jones
I’ve only just this week learned that he was Hicks. This is going to sound so bad for my parents but Aliens was my fav film when I was 6-8. I know. They were neglectful whatever. The original IT didn’t do anything for me either at 7. BUT Vasquez was literally my gay awakening, at 6. I would watch up until she died, then just rewind my VHS. So not recognising Corporal Hicks like, AT ALL. I’m so disappointed in myself
and nice nod to Johnny Ringo "my fight's not with you" "got no quarrel with you"
I’m a 28 year old man yet I squealed like a little kid in excitement for finally seeing Ahsoka in live action and hearing the name Thrawn and understanding the implications of finally seeing him in live action 😁😁
I had the same reaction, and I am 51.
@@Jay-ate-a-bug That just means a lot more time for hype, especially coming from book Thrawn.
df has anything to do with age?
Haha, kids today think they know Thrawn.
@@tyroneloki5131 The Doctor seemed concerned that he was 28 and effected emotionally by Ahsoka, I was just letting him know exactly what you just said.... Age has nothing to do with it.
Everyone who's read the Heir To The Empire trilogy or watched Rebels just about had a heart attack when Thrawn's name was dropped :)
Yes.
Fans after Force Awakens: “hey, why’s there a resistance, where’s the New Republic fleet?” Fans after this ep: “ohhhhhhhh, mystery solved.”
@@smiddlehurst1 well they desolated alongside with the ashes of the capital. But the First Order used many innovations which originated from Thrawn: the stardestroyers had multiple hangar bays much like his modified flagship the Chaimera, and also they upgraded the fighters with shields and missiles much like his TIE-Defender project did.
I've heard rumors that Robert Downey Jr. is considering playing Thrawn.
@@Caseytify that would be really interesting
A huge part of Ashoka turning down Grogu as an apprentice bc of his attachments is because she was ANAKIN’s apprentice! She didn’t just know him, she was his closest friend. If Obi-Wan was Anakin’s father figure, Ashoka was his sister. So his downfall hit her harder than most. There’s a lot of hurt in that line 💔
The problem was, Obi-Wan wasn't a father, he was a brother. Anakin could've made if Qui Gonn had lived, that's why Palpatine needed him dead. He understood what was unique in Anakin, and would've trained him appropriately.
The second best person to train him would have been Master Windu. He used V'Paad, which actually did use a little bit of the Dark Side in the style.
The whole problem of the old Jedi WAS their lack of attachments. Remember, Luke's attachment to his father allowed him to save Anakin in the end. The Jedi had the right IDEA, they just took it too far, and too dogmatically.
@@dragonstryk7280 Disagree on Windu being the next best person to train Anakin besides Qui-Gon just because he used a fighting style that was more aggressive. Qui-Gon was a threat because he would often go against the wishes of the Jedi Order to follow the will of the force. Windu was much more dogmatic than Qui-Gon, which made him and the rest of the order a lot more predictable, and subsequently controllable, to Palpatine. Anakin would've been better off with a Jedi that was a bit more rebellious and like Qui-Gon. Quinlan Vos comes to mind.
@@dragonstryk7280 it wasn’t that Jedi were forbidden to have attachments to people or things per se, but rather it was the fear of losing the thing that was forbidden. They could love and be attached to things and people, as long as they could accept their loss and let them go. It was the fact that Anakin couldn’t let go of his fear of losing Padme that ultimately drove him to the dark side.
The main reason why she turned grogu away is because she is not a Jedi ,,she cannot train grogu ,,Because she's not following the Jedi way Technically now anyway ....I'm sure in her live action series..She's going to rectify that , And possibly take on a new Padawan, Or even better have her own child
@@Gankhisprawn They forbade attachments and love because it would make it harder to come to terms with loss and rid those fears
Friendships were fine, but anything more was forbidden
So, without spoiling much, Ahsoka Tano was Anakin's apprentice during the Clone Wars until she left the Jedi Order shortly before the events of EP 3.
She was basically Anakin's little sister and seeing what became of him, especially since she came face to face with Darth Vader in Rebels, is why she is so reluctant to train Grogu.
Last time i was this early Ahsoka was only animated!
lol
“i will say, her hair is really cool”
i thought that was funny
Yeah not hair or a headpiece. They are called Leku (spelling?) And they are a part of her that is present but different on all of her species.
@@tattoofun31548 yeah you spelled that right
@@tattoofun31548 And that's why the species is called Twilek of course. Legend has it that the males are actually Trileks, but it was never confirmed. (The last part was a joke. Don't wan't to confuse anyone. :)
Wait, Ahsoka was a Togruta, not a Twilek. I already confused myself.
:sigh: why do non-Star Wars fans react to Star Wars shows? Girl is SO lost...
You have no idea how important this episode was to some people. Seeing Ahsoka in the flesh and done this well was and still is amazing :-D
Yea it’s kinda annoying how clueless she is about ever
"Is that a bird up there or her?" The answer to that question is waaaaaaay more complicated than you might think haha
Let’s not even bother to get started... we’d be here all day 🤣
Seriously, I wouldn't even know how to describe it haha
Why? I don't get it
@@Checkmate1138 Without spoiling anything, the character of Ahsoka Tano was first introduced in the animated feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars years ago. That movie was effectively the pilot episode for a long-running and much-loved animated series, also called The Clone Wars. At one point in the series Ahsoka is part of a pretty wild 4-episode story arc that involves the bird in question in this episode of The Mandalorian. It sounds kinda weird when described like that but trust me, it's a fantastic story and a fantastic series.
@@SirSpuddington I agree with Brown. A fantastic story indeed
Grand Admiral Thrawn was originally introduced in the Expanded Universe with Heir to the Empire, a book written in the early 90's a must read (along with the other 2 books in that trilogy)
I've read them at least 20 times and as soon as I heard Thrawn mentioned in this I know they're getting read again soon. In my mind that trilogy will always be the true sequel story.
@@Thinchap Gives me hope that one day we'll have the true canon New Republic era
Originally, the 3 books written by Timothy Zahn were supposed to be Chapters 7-9 as Lucas felt he would never get around to making movies for them. He gave Zahn all his notes, told him what path he must stay tracked on but gave him complete carte blanch to tell the stories the way he wanted. They could never have done them, as is, for the movies since all the actors were much too old by the time that happened. Am very happy we will get Admiral Thrawn after all.
Ahsoka is my personal favorite Star Wars character of all time. She is a lot of people's favorite character. She means quite a lot to a lot of people and to see her in live action for the first time was a dream come true.
“What is that thing?” That was a Loth cat. You’ve seen one before in the first season episode that introduced us to Cara. Originally from the planet Lothal in Rebels.
No, that was Morai.
@@provisionalhypothesis there is both a lothcat and Morai in this episode. OP is referring to the creature in the city, which was a lothcat.
I would like to point out that the Human guard guy is Michael Biehn. He played Hicks in Aliens. And the bird is sort of Ahsoka's spirit. Hard to explain but it follows her where ever she goes. It's a Clone War thing.
it's nice watching the reaction of a casual star wars fun who feels no need to show deep clone wars/rebels/extended universe knowledge but still enjoying the show.
Actually, I love seeing your reaction to Ahsoka without having had all the Clone Wars/Rebels backstory, because I think that's how the majority of The Mandalorian's viewers experienced the episode, and my family are all such long-time Star Wars nerds that it's really cool to see a fresh impression of the character!
The fact you spotted Morai makes me happy, I've seen so many reactions where they just haven't noticed 😆
I will throw my suggestion for the series of "The Expanse" in the ring of contenders. One of the best sci-fi shows...ever. Love your channel.
^^^I second this!
@@benny_tys1644 THRICE!
Just finished season 5 ... Oh, man.
Forth?
Forthce?
I also want this!!
Some of the best sci-fi I've watched in ages.
Ahsoke is a TOGRUTA species. Her "head tendrils" are called "Lekku", and they act like an extra sensory part of their biology, using them to express emotions, sensations etc with others of her kind.
Aren't the Torgruta head tails 'Montrals'?.
I thought it was the Twileks who have 'leku'.
@@Edd25164605 I could be wrong but I thought both were generically called "lekku"? You could be correct
@@mando8469 HaHa. I could easily be wrong too. It is all made up at the end of the day :)
DO NOT SPOIL ANYTHING! We must protect Natalie!
Bruh it's too late
Yeah she gave the go ahead kind of
@@gregburgenstock7442 Well she kinda did. Be careful what you ask for.
"Oooohhh like Anakin being attached to his mom, and Padme" -funny you say that.... lol as Ahsoka was Anakin's apprentice prior to turning, she's seen the fallout of training a person like that.
The Magistrate's captain? He's Michael Biehn, aka Corportal Hicks from Aliens (and Kyle Reese from the Terminator).
Always good to see him.
"Why Johnny Ringo, you look like someone just walked over your grave"
The shoot out scene between Michael Biehn's character and the Mandalorian could of been a homage to 'Tombstone' and his Johnny Ringo character. He says "I've got no quarrel with you..." which is very similar to the line he says to Doc Holiday in the movie Tombstone.
Would of been odd but funny if the Mandalorian had said "I'm your huckleberry". ;)
Tombstone shootout scene : ua-cam.com/video/FSjvgSHK0f0/v-deo.html
I love how you live in the moment and don't plan ahead. That's how I do things too!
It's her "hair"
The bird is Ahsoka's owl friend, Morai. Morai's kind of like a spirit animal; it's complicated.
Lekku is a part of her head not the hair.
Yes, that's why I said "'hair'". She asked if it was either her hair or a head-dress.
Good catch on seeing Morai in the trees. The importance of Morai is connected to TCW, and Rebels, but is always seen around Ahsoka.
Mando, "I have one job!"
Ahsoka, "no, you were given a series of side quests."
What I loved most about this episode was finding out the set in this episode was all there for the actors the set. They set up massive screens on the set and had the forest and creatures moving in the background so the actors could react off of everything going on around them.
You said that you like when we add you on something that you don’t know about. So about that owl that can be seen for split second the forest you saw, it is a reincarnation of an embodiment of a light side of then Force called The Daughter. She accompanies Ashoka on her journeys since the fall of the Jedi order. Daughters death happens in one of the episodes in The Clone Wars.
Man this is my favorite episode ever. I felt like a child again watching my favorite star wars brought to live action. But also the quality and themes of the episode is just top notch. I'm glad you enjoyed this that much :D
Fun fact the magistrate is Bruce Lee's god daughter.
That turned out to be a bad pick.
Too soon?
The guy with the shotgun was Corporal Hicks from Aliens :D !!!
Guess he likes to keep it close for close encounters in the Star Wars universe as well :)
Just FYI, Admiral Thrawn is a reference to other Star Wars stories and sets up future series for Ahsoka, et al. So, that was a big moment, even though you didn't know it. :D
i liked the detail that Ahsoka has the japanese combination of short sword and long. The concept art team were incredibly thorough with researching real world references for the characters to make them feel more grounded
Disney has announced an Ashoka show. Along with a billion others.
Says about Ahsoka Tano 'Hey, hey bitch, wait a second!' First time those words were ever spoken about the iconic Ahsoka I'm sure. All in fun though. 🤣
I love that little look she gives the one guard on top of the wall, that to me was when I felt Rosario nailed the character. Took me back to Clone Wars.
Same!
Right? I thought that was a thousand times cooler than the bell slice afterwards.
I love your channel so much!!! I can't wait for the rest of the season.
This epesode is one of my favourites from this series. Glad you enjoyed it.
1. The thing in the tree is a green/white owl that is almost always with Ashoka. It’s an Easter egg from Clone Wars and Rebels 😀
2. What is that thing (cat)? Lothcat from Rebels
3. Grand Admiral Thrawn? Rebels. An absolute military genius who is extremely dangerous.
4. The dark saber is what Moff Gideon had in the last scene in season 1. It’s the only black lightsaber ever created by the only Mandalorian who was a Jedi. It is an ancient symbol of Mandalore.
Fun Fact: the guy who played the guy who dueled Mando in this episode is Michael Biehn, who played Kyle Reese in "The Terminator" and Corporal Hicks in "Aliens."
It's so wonderful to see this series show so much love to the Star Wars movies and TV shows and, by extension, to all the fans...whether new, casual or dedicated.
Ahsoka’s method of fighting is called Jar’Kai
She was allowed to go and search for a second kyber crystal to construct a second lightsaber which is smaller than her main one, kinda like a samurai set up. In the Clone Wars, many Force users utilize this form also. It’s also common for Jedi masters and knights to use a lightsaber of a downed or fallen comrade in conjunction with their own. You see Anakin do this when he catches Obi Wans lightsaber to combat Dooku in Attack of the Clones.
Another notable use of Jar’Kai is during the Old Republic era when Battlemaster Kao-Cen Darach held off two Sith with his Padawans saber and his own so his allies could escape.
If you haven’t seen the Old Republic cinematics or played the game, highly highly recommend
Also side note: when is Michael Biehn gonna learn that he sucks at quick draws lol
Golden comment
I got really excited to hear the name Grand Admiral Thrawn. I am a fan of the books!
It's at this point that people lose out from not seeing Clone Wars and Rebels, but it also effects the books as well, so it is obviously going to make people react differently depending on previous exposure.
Yeah it's pretty crazy how this hits someone who has no idea who Ahsoka is and her history. Seems like a lot of the big moments didn't land at all because she doesn't have the background knowledge.
Hey Natalie, Ahsoka was Anakin's jedi apprentice through the Clone Wars. She left the order shortly before Episode III so she survived the Purge.
Ahsoka is also Anakin’s padawan
The owl is a Morai. The other animal was a Lothcat. Both these animals feature a fair bit in Rebels & the Morai turns up in Clone Wars. The Dude who has the gunfight with Mando was Michael Biehn who you'll remember from Aliens as Hicks.
Ahsoka is a great character if you ever get into Clone Wars. She was Anakin's apprentice, and after going through all of -that- considers the jedi order to be wrong and no longer calls herself a Jedi.
So she was never technically a Jedi if she was never elevated from padawan status?
my most loved chars in SW are of course Luke and Ashoka. Luke is my alltime favorite but Ashoka is in my opinion the best writen character.
We see here growth from a little childish anoying brat to a mature calm and deep person.
And here depature from the order is one of the main reasons why i see the hole prophecy of the chosen one how do today.
The jedi are a failing order from the begin on. The force don´t want guardians of the light, it wants balance between light and dark. The only one achieved this were the Je`daii. In my opinion thats what the chosen one (anakin) is there for, bring balance by destroying the sith and the jedi so that his son (maybe together with Ashoka) can form a new balanced order.
I love that the civilian ran out to try and help before he saw Mando. It's the little things this show continually does that make it special. Showing that not just Jedi can be heroes. That guy totally deserves to be the new magistrate.
Rome is an epic two season show. It was made by the BBC and HBO. One of the most amazing Roman era shows ever made. I highly recommend it.
My friend Paul gets his head chopped off in it with a shield :D
5:06
That's Michael Beihn, aka Corporal Dwayne Hicks in Aliens and Kyle Reese in the Terminator 😎 and it's funny that his blaster resembles a shotgun, which is wielded by both Hicks and Reese 👌
The clone wars will answer many questions you have though plus the final season is like the best star wars content you'll ever get
12:31 it's a Loth Cat from the Rebels animated series! One of them hissed at Grogu in the tavern back in season 1 episode 4.
"There aren't many Jedi left" - Ahsoka
"Once gone am I, the last of the Jedi will you be" - Yoda
So yeah, technically just one. And everybody knows his name.
Ahsoka was Anakin's Padawan. She was probably his closest friend. She knew what Anakin's fear felt like and eventually learned he became Vadar. She doesn't want to send Grogu down his Path.
I think a series you should watch is Avatar the Last Airbender. **AMAZING** series. 🙂🙂
Seconded
It definitely is. 💯
Yes both ATLA and LOK
Specify the CARTOON that ran for three seasons 😋
@@lim-dulspaladin50 Agreed. The movie by M Night Shamallammaloo was garbage
Grand Admeral Thrawn is basically an empire aligned Sherlock holmes who is obsessed with art and stradegy. Ahsoka Tano was Anakin skywalker's padwan, something she alluded to in this episode. She started out as a hated character by fans but became beloved. Her voice actress from the shows Ashely Eckstein started a company called her universe that sells merchandise for female nerds and fans.
The Thing with Ahsoka is:
She is no Jedi anymore. She left the Jedi Order as she lost the faith in it... she is now what fans call a "Grey Jedi" Not attached to the Jedi order, nor to the Sith... walking the middle path, which is why she can't train Grogu as a Jedi.
Technically she could teach him the ways of the Jedi and train him as one, but the knighting wouldn’t be official. He’d more or less just be an initiate that received Jedi training
@@_GalKestis_ i think she does not deam herself wothy as a teacher as she would not believe in what she would be teaching.
I love that they named him Grogu. There is an influential manga from the 70's that has been made into a bunch of live action movies and even been adapted to theater called "Lone wolf and cub". It has HUGE influences on this series. Right from the beginning I could see so many similarities between them. The kids name in that is Daigoro or Gorogoro depending on the version.
If you ever do get to clone wars and rebels, might I suggest season reactions? Reactions with select moments from each season, rather than a reaction for every episode.
Part of Ashoka's refusal to train Grogo is due to her not being a Jedi, during the clone wars she ended up being exiled from the order. The other part of it is she had been Anakin Skywalker's padawan and found out after the fall of the republic and order 66 that Anakin became Darth Vader, hence when she says I've seen what those kinds of deep connections can do to the best of us.
I think Natalie is actually the “Star Wars according to a 3 year old” girl grown up.
I can't wait for her reaction to the final episode! Thank you for reacting to this series!
Ahsoka is one of the best characters in Star Wars in my opinion.
4:50
Ahsoka's species (togruta) have three lekkus, or "head-tails", and two horns on top of their heads. The lekkus are sensitive to touch and vibrations, giving the individual a heightened awareness of their surroundings
I like to imagine that Din was rolling his eyes behind his helmet while the other guy was doing his super obvious "fake surrender" bit.
Also: "why did the Order fall again? Oh right, they were all murdered by Anakin". Funny. But...fair's fair. Anakin mostly only murdered children. Clones murdered the rest of them.
And my MVP for the episode is the one guard who tried to fight Ahsoka with a gong hammer.
It's awesome when your enemies make a warning bell just for you.
Natalie here's a really cool show I want to suggest for you: The Expanse
When Ashoka is talking to Mando about Grogu forming an attachment to him, the "Even the best of us have fallen because of attachment". She's referencing Anakin Skywalker, her former Master.
The magistrate is played by Bruce Lee’s protégée and goddaughter.
That's a great little piece of trivia!
I love that.
People keep pointing this out. I don’t understand it.
@@bryanfoster362 she’s a martial art expert and helped with the fight choreography.
@@merchillio I can understand pointing that out, but it seems like one person will post that, and then a few comments later someone will post it again, and then again, etc. it’s like people think that if THEY post about it, the OP will see it and comment on it.
@@bryanfoster362 I look through the comments before posting it and didn’t see it, but I guess I could have missed the others or there was a delay before the other comments appeared
Nat, Ahsoka was toying with the magistrate from the get go. When the Magistrate got lucky by disarming Ahsoka, Ahsoka was like "enough play time" when she flipped her light saber into reverse grip that was her true fighting style. Ahsoka is immensely powerful, she was playing games with the magistrate from the get go.
I wouldn't say she was playing with her. She was fighting with the restriction that she couldn't kill her opponent since she needed information.
ahsoka was anakin's apprentice. Just try imagine the kind of baggage she is carrying around on top of being an order 66 survivor.
Finished episode 5 to 8 of The Mandalorian today, now I can continue watching your videos. ^^
Sigh, it is totally fine that you are not *that* much into Star Wars,, but when Ahsoka mentioned Grand Admiral Thrawn, this was a dream come true for Star Wars Fans. Thrawn is THE antagonist of Star Wars books, before Disney bought Lucas and wrote Thrawn out of canon. Favreau did such a great job with this episode!
It KILLS me that she hasn’t seen the animated series...
Daddy Mando and baby Grogu, playing catch like father and son.
Personally, I think you should watch Clone Wars regardless if you react to it or not. There are a lot of great stories you would enjoy.
Yes your feeling about the ending of the season is spot on. :)))
Ahsoka also won't want to train him because she isn't technically a Jedi anymore. She's alighned with the light side of the Force but she left the Jedi Order
Actually shes force neutral, but not technically a Gray Jedi because she hasn't been formally trained in the dark side. This is indicated by her white sabers and her ability to flirt with dark side force abilities like Force Blank which (in my opinion) she used in this episode to vanish into the shadows. Dark side abilities are only unlocked by destructive impulses...which...killing all those guys for sure counts. Some light side users have Force Cloak which is a light-bendy thing (Force Blank creates a void, a big black cloud). The thing is that Force Cloak is extremely rare and only known to have been used thousands of years before Ahsoka whereas Force Blank is a very common dark side ability - Vader uses it at the end of Rogue One and once in Rebels, although he mostly used it as intimidation rather than stealth...which would surely be terrifying lol If she was a Force Cloak user it wouldve been a huge deal and we'd have seen her use it in Clone Wars, it's much more likely to be Force Blank... DARK SIDE :)
Ahsoka is balance, a force of life AND death. Something that Obi-wan couldn't ever understand but Anakin could. That's what Luke was on about in episode 8, and that's why it should have been Ahsoka that trains Rey! Ahsoka wouldve been about the same age that Obi-wan was when he started training Luke.
I really hope to see her use dark side abilities in the spin-off! I hope that's her source of tension for the show, walking a thin line...I want to see her bust out Force Lightning!
@@crashraynor No. She's light side all the way. She's not doing some Force Cloaking ability (she'd go fully invisible and could just stroll down the middle of town if she did that) but just using her cloak to hide herself in the dark fog by shutting her sabers off.
@@VegetaLF7 it's a force ability man, and yes with Force Cloak (light) she'd be full on invisible, but Force Blank is just a black fog (like vader at the end of Rogue one). This is the first we've seen her do that so it's just my theory, who knows. But in a spin off I have to figure she'll battle the temptation, that's kinda star wars thing lol and anakin could use both (season 3 clone wars) and so can Rey, she may lean light right now but Ahsoka is as close to center as Rey is...plus the white sabers mean "unaffiliated" according to Dave Filoni
@@crashraynor That's not what a Force Blank is. That's just hiding in smoke. A Force Blank is non-existent in the Force.
@@VegetaLF7 depends on your source unfortunately, some people think that its force cloak and i guess it could be but that's supposed to be insanely rare. I have seen sources say that force Blank is used to hide themselves from being sensed in the force, so maybe it's both, or maybe that's just another of many thousand inconsistencies. Whatever it is, vader can definitely use it, and the sabers coming out of nowhere seemed like a nod to that. Time will tell!
Ahsoka is Togrutan, their montraals is a bit similar to the Twi'lek Lekuu.
This episode shows why Beskar (or Mandalorian Iron) is so special, one of the few materials that is not just destroyed by a lightsaber.
Funny enough, turns out the Magistrate that seems worse than the Empire, actually is Imperial
Yes Natalie, I who has seen Rebels and Clone Wars, seeing these plot points coming together again, is grinning like a child. this is awesome!
plus, for the fans of "the old republic", the name drop of Tython (the ancient "home" of the Jedi) is very significant.
You need to watch band of brothers, an amazing series
Yeah, this series is great and different.b
I really loved this episode being influenced with old Japanese samurai films to western style mix. There is a huge story on this episode being sweet to hear 😌
SPOILER: Ashoka technically isn’t a Jedi at this time
I think she is actually. She didn't say she wasn't in Mando so I think it's possible that something happens after Rebels that causes her to reacquaint herself with the jedi. Maybe not, just a theory
At this point in time almost nobody who calls themselves a Jedi is technically a Jedi.
We will see. In time. I am gonna type a quote:
"Good question....for another time"
@@senhowler Well other then Luke, and maybe Cal (If he is alive at the end of Fallen Order 2).
A rose by any other name. She's effectively an honorary Jedi.
You can sense the fear in Mando's voice when he tries to make Ahsoka stop fighting him. 😂

You have no idea how excited everyone got when Ahsoka asked about Grand Admiral Thrawn. He is one of the most popular characters from the old Star Wars Legends continuity and was finally brought into proper canon in Rebels. He is from a blue skinned and red eyed humanoid species called Chiss in the unknown regions of space. He joined the Empire and quickly rose up through the ranks due to his sheer intelligence and strategic/tactical mind. A lover of culture, he can examine art and can ascertain the weaknesses from the culture that created it. A major threat and a villain that you love to hate. Can’t wait to see him in live-action!
You REALLY need to watch the Clone Wars animated series!😀
Please make it happen, Natalie!
Thrawn was a character introduced in the Thrawn trilogy 1991 to 1993 a book series set after Return of the Jedi where our heroes go up against the Empire of the Hand under the command of Thrawn. This is now non canon but he was brought back into canon with Rebels and a new novel series set before a new hope. With him Being referenced in The Mandalorian this could be setting up the canon version of the Thrawn novels or something inspired by them as both are set around the same time. Heir to the Empire, Dark Forces Rising, and The Last Command are amazing books highly recommend them pretty much what I wanted the sequel trilogy to be about and in many ways the books are just better.

@@toamszkozak8822 i always thought it referred to the fact that this is her first live action appearance, but OP seems to be talking about something different
@@toamszkozak8822 you can interpret it as 'your first time'
In the sexual way :)
No matter how it goes you will always remember it
@@ahsokatano5866 Who was your first with, Ahsoka? I know Bo-Katan assaulted you...
@@Сайтамен some secrets are better kept that way....
The Darksaber is the black lightsaber that Moff Gideon had at the very end of season 1. Grand Admiral Thrawn (who Ahsoka asks about) is a villain originally from the Thrawn Trilogy - a series of novels published in the early 90s that take place 5 years after Return of the Jedi. He is in several other books, as well as being a character in Rebels. If you want to know more of their backgrounds but don't have time to read several novels or watch an entire series, there are some short UA-cam videos that explain it in a few minutes.
REACT TO WANDAVISION! (After you watch Endgame of course)
"Itd be a great way to wrap up the season."
Oh my sweet summer child...
I totally recommend watching "The Boys" next. Her "hair" is called Lekku. They are sensory organs that for her species act like sonar helping her detect movement & as a possible conduit to accessing the Force.
I don't
@@huntclanhunt9697 Cool story bro
7:50 that is a convor, Morai, it is the physical representation of The Sister from the Planet Mortis.
Lots of Clone Wars references that are difficult to explain it's better to just watch the series, but essentially the convor [owl] always watches over Ahsoka.
