"How many of us stared at an object and tried to move it with our minds? How many of us tried to access the Force?" I do it all the time. It hasn't happened for me... YET.
Same, I'm 36 and sometimes I get an inkling that maybe THIS time it will happen. When you think about how the atoms in our bodies push and pull atoms across the universe and how our consciousness can effect reality. It's never gonna happen.. but..
Ray Stevenson is by far the most interesting character at this point in the Ashoka storyline in my opinion. Incredible performance. Really disappointed he won't be in future seasons 😢
I'm glad that we are seeing so much of Anakin's training appear in how Ahsoka flies her starship and acts so extra by going outside the ship to fight the "Totally not Zeros in Space" starfighters. It is just a nice touch.
Huyang is a perfect example of a star wars droid done right. He's not just there, but actually around for droid stuff he can do, he's informative and good comic relief, of course being voiced by Tennant also doesn't hurt, perfect. As a sidenote, when they mention Zatochi during the saber training, I think they're referencing and paying homage to Zatoichi, a fictional blind swordsman from a Japanese film series.
@@thomdeeksdijksman5552she has so much screen presence. She reminds me of Ray Park as Maul. She's had very few lines but something about her is memorable and you want more from her.
@BruGaleen My brain doesn't work that way. Obviously you are right, but I didn't even thought about that after I saw someone commenting on IG after the first 2 episodes. It's an epic show all together.
As a Dr Who superfan, hearing David Tennant saying things like "Jedi" and "lightsaber" and "pergil" just warms my heart. I love that he's a nerd just like all of us fans. Thanks for the reaction and being awesome!
I don't know if you know this, but Huyang is a very, very old droid. Supposedly he was built in 25,020 BBY! However, there's a lot of speculation about his true origins. One group of younglings about to head out for the Gathering ceremony during the clone wars (in the Brotherhood book) told a story that Huyang had mysteriously showed up at the Jedi Temple in a large blue box. Sound familiar?
I'm telling you.. Those Ahsoka episodes, they make me feel like a kid again. Like i'm in love with what Dave Filoni is doing right now. The music, the plot, characters development. Everything. I love it. And the Kiner(s) are killing it with the music. Huyang's training with Sabine with the background music and Ahsoka watching them was like watching Tales Of The Jedi again. When Anakin watched Ahsoka train with Tera Sinube, then with Rex and the 501st. Ahsoka saying " Let's go again " like Anakin when Ahsoka kept passing out during that training. Like... i'm in love with the callbacks. For me, Ahsoka as a character is at a state now where she's trying to be like Anakin, strong mentally even tho she may be conflicted inside, sometimes breaking rules etc etc... I think that's the vision that Dave Filoni is trying to show with this show. So for me, when I see Ahsoka now, I see her personality from her past, her struggles and Anakin's personality.
Been saying if people don’t like this show, then they’re probably not a Star Wars fan. I’ve seen people recently say that this show is horrible and not everything needs lightsabers and space battles. That’s literally what Star Wars is all about.
Yeah, I love how the characters are natural, and Ahsoka is calculating, and stiff, but still caring. She's still dealing with trauma. The self-realization of how she was acting was so smooth. Sabine's frustration, the music, Huyang having that C3P0 sort of dialogue flavor to him. There's just so much that feels epic, and adventurous, and full of mystery and intrigue. By far this one of the best of the side series shows in the great Star Wars epic. It really lets the characters be themselves, and lets the actors help create that image of those characters.
And don’t forget Plo Koon he’s crucial! He was Baylon’s Master. So there’s a deeper connection between Baylon and Ahsoka through Master Plo….who also fought outside of his ship…2 save his clone troopers in Clone Wars… #deepconnections
Sabine knows how to fix machines like a Jedi, she knows how to maneuver the ship to make a kill like a Jedi. She knows how to solve puzzles like a Jedi. Now to get it all together.
Ray Stevenson was such a great actor. I loved him as Blackbeard in Black Sails and he was absolutely amazing in Rome as Titus Pullo. Im so hyped for his story!
A ship flying fast towards a large mysterious ring, then the ship goes dark with a sudden deceleration. I didn't make the link while watching on my own but with your shirt, I could almost hear "Maneo Jung-Espino-splat!". Nice to see that Ahsoka and Sabine fared better! Anyhoo, great reaction, as always!
"this is the Star Wars I fucking love" hit so hard. I enjoy most star wars, including episodes 7 and 9, but there's something really special about this show in particular
Hyperdrive rings are basically a booster you attach to to make your jump and detach when you arrive, leaving it in space while you do your business. We see them in use in Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith as well as throughout the Clone Wars. It's a reusable hyperdrive engine that you park in orbit when not in use. I'm guessing the plan is to have this massive ring fly out to the other galaxy, attach to Thrawn's Star Destroyer Chimera, and bring it back.
The hyperspace ring allows a ship with out hyperspace engines to travel through hyperspace - essentially a ship,clips into the ring, travels using the ring, and then releases itself at the final destination, rinse and repeat.
@@sydhamelin1265 yes. The distance between galaxies is too great for normal hyperdrive to traverse (hence why Thrawn & co haven’t returned yet) the hyperspace ring will essentially function as a super hyperdrive that is big enough for a star destroyer to dock inside of, enabling everyone to come back
@@gordonwerner I haven't watched Rebels, so I'm missing a bit of the plot. I remember one of those rings from the prequels, so I'm digging the idea. I think I really just need to watch Rebels.
Yes, it's freaking amazing! And seeing your reactions and emotions to all the little details makes it just so much more personal and enganging. You are awesome Angela!
Sabine trying to use the Force reminded me of all those times as a kid I had to check to see if I had telekinesis 😂 strain harder, maybe it's just dormant 😅
Dave Filoni's space sequences are always batshit insane. Coming from animation has made him rather fearless in that regard. He's not afraid to go to crazy places that a live-action director might not even think of doing. You love to see it. :)
I thought it was a really interesting comment about Ahsoka being from a long line of non-traditional Jedi, because it is DEAD on honestly. starting with the Padawan and going to the Master the line goes: Ahsoka(who has very non-traditional views about the Jedi) Anakin(The Chosen One who also turned to the dark side) Obi-Wan(The First Jedi known in a millennium to kill a Sith Lord and one of the best practitioners of form 2 the Jedi ever had) Qui-Gon(Jedi Master with very non-traditional views about how the Jedi operated, and the first to discover how to survive beyond death) Count Dooku(Jedi Master who turned to the Dark side and was one of the best Lightsaber Duelists of the Jedi in a Millennium) Yoda(1 of 2 of his species in the Jedi Order, probably the strongest Lightsaber duelist or force wielder the Jedi had for a Millennium) idk who trained Yoda but they must have been a hell of the Jedi
The blonde force wielder is Shin Hati (Pronounced Ha-tee) is played by actress Ivanna Sakhno (Pronounced Sock-No). She is Ukrainian like myself which is very cool. She hasn't done many movies but one you may like is the 2020 thriller Let It Snow. She was also in the movie Pacific Rim.
Man, David Tenent is good. He's great as an actor, and he's a great voice actor. A few inflections though, I only heard Tge Doctor (his original Doctor) . I half expected to hear "the Ood" come our of his mouth.
Now that we've seen the purrgil, I wonder if we'll eventually get to see a flashback of Thrawn and Ezra getting dragged away by them during the Battle of Lothal, from their perspective.
That episode delivered the goods... it wasn't just amazing, it was amazingly amazing! Seriously, from beginning to end nothing but satisfaction and warm fuzzies. This was the right stuff!
🎵Goin' up to the Purrgil in the sky (spirit in the sky) That's where I'm gonna go when I fly (when I fly) When the Jedi put me to the test I'm gonna go with the whale that's the best🎶
I've never commented on your posts but just wanted to say how much I love both your reactions (to various shows) and how emotional you are. I thought I was the only one who could cry at such things so easily! I'm loving Ahsoka, too though I wish this episode could have been a little longer. Something tells me the Ghost could show up next episode to assist Ashoka and Sabine, regardless the Senators. Once a member Hera's crew, always a member her crew. Rebels 4 Life!
Sabines Padawan journey reminds me of my ADHD-issues. Trying to be the best in a field you are learning about because you feel some kind of pressure to be better than others to keep up with them. Her wanting to be good enough to help Ezra and speeding up training is relatable. I do believe that she will find "her way of the force" kind of. Maybe she gets like a spidey-sense more than moving objects.
Oh to be running around a GIANT spaceship as a kid with Chopper...the trouble we'd get in!!! Hera's line of "Just sat back and waited to see who came out on top?"...BADASS!!! Something on that planet must be the Purrgil's food/fuel source to trigger hyperspace travel, Cluzon 36 if I'm not mistaken.
the scene with Jacen was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. You can tell Hera doesnt want Jacen to have the same fate as his father. =( And man, that scene gives me chills/goosebumps everytime!
Great to see Mon Mothma. Painfully ironic though to see her scene with Hera and the Senators mirror Dedra's scene in "Andor" where she's trying to convince her superiors of a growing threat and being ignored. I was hoping Mothma would lend Hera a little "off the books" help - that's right in her wheelhouse. (I'm hopeful she still might)
it looks like a larger version of the ring that Luke and ObiWan had around their fighters, so they use it to hype around but then park it somewhere in space to land
This was an absolute blast of an ep, despite the shorter runtime! Space shit, yeah! Seeing Jacen was heartbreaking, but knowing that he's been partially raised by 'big brother' Chopper makes me worried...
I love this stoic, supremely wise Ahsoka that some online seem to have a problem with. You know, we’ve watched a little girl go from Padawan to Jedi Knight to a Master Force Welder - from a young lady to grown woman. We should expect this two-time war veteran to be different from those experiences and I’m loving it.
She's been through a lot. I loved that she was excited about the whales and those smirks between her and Sabine. I think they are both acting appropriately for what they've been through and what they are going to face.
Every time I see Rey Stevenson on screen I'm just gutted. He was such a great actor. And he just comes off so cool in this Baylan Skoll role. I also loved him in The Punisher and Book Of Eli. But I'm happy to be back watching some Star Wars with ya :)
Some great moments in this episode Baylan standing there all menacing, looking like Stannis. Sweet! Great bad guy. Give me 35 minutes of Ahsoka training Sabine in the ways of the force please. Felt like we were back on Dagobah and i was 100% into it. Ahsoka sees potential so it just be there. The Pergill looked Fantastic Mon Mothma fought so hard against dictatorship. Ironic that the galaxy needs her to be the new dictator. Short sighted greedy politicians make the first order possible
I wish they gave Kanan a small mention during the training session on Ahsoka's ship since it was Kanan who trained sabine in season 3 episode of rebels trials of the dark sabre which i think is the best episode of rebels
The ring reminds me of a larger version of the one we see on Obi-Wan's fighter from the prequel trilogy that he would detach after coming out of hyoerspace.
After I watched this episode, I was very excited to see your reaction due to the emotional impact of it. (I watch other reactors, but you're the emotional one that is needed, at least for me, it validates my emotions for SW). The training montage was awesome and expected due to Sabine's "rust" but damn, it was so cool. The Senate meeting, Hera! Just so friggin Rebels...loved her reaction to all of them. Jacen! Seeing nearly broke me. 😭😭😭 The space battle, Ahsoka's space walk, and Huyang being himself, just awesome. Seeing the Purrgil in live action, yeah, I cried. 😭😭😭 Let's think about who is behind this series...Filoni. Everything YOU wanted (we also want) is going to happen in some capacity and then some. This is ALL Filoni. The Director may change...but sheeeeeeeeeeit...this is Filoni animation into live action leading up to Filoni Movie. It's gonna be wizard!
Easily 11/10. This one episode did so much for Star wars than most of the content we've been given over the years. Between the writing, visuals,directing, acting and music it was just a perfect balance. It wasn't flashy but it gave so much more in return and reintroduced old ideas that made us all fall in love with the series in the first place.
Even though it was only 30-plus minutes, this episode packed a lot of heat. It was great seeing development with Sabine as a potential Force user, the sequence involving Hera and the Senate being tense (nice seeing Jacen Syndulla for the first time) and that space battle looked quite cool. Obviously, I wish there was more runtime, but, alas, beggars can't be choosers. Excited for next week's episode!
You see Obi-Wan use a hyperspace ring when he goes to Kamino and Geonosis in attack of the clones. This one is scaled up so that they can bring back Thrawn’s star destroyer.
Ahsoka's spacewalk was done so much better than Leia's. This made me happy. I agree with you on Baylon. His quiet brooding is more intimidating than the toddler like outbursts of Kylo Ren. A Chopper focused episode would up the body count, for sure.😂 Jacen is so adorable. My mom heart burst when he said he wanted to be a Jedi.
I loved this review! The passion just "oozes" from every aspect that you presented. I'm so ready to catch episode #4 w/ you!!! Oh yeah, have you managed to stay dry over the past couple of weeks with all the rain? Thank you for sharing this ride w/ us... :-) . M-
Glad your are enjoying the series, great fun watching you react to movies and shows and is why I subscribed to channel. I think you should have some merc. Maybe a coffee mug or t-shirt with 'I LOVE SPACE SH*T!' on it! You can grow it from there.
I don't know if anyone has said this yet about the hyperspace ring yet or not. In Star Wars episode 2 Attack of the Clones, Obi wan Kenobi actually used a Hyperspace Ring. It was a lot smaller, of course, than the big one in this show but it's there.
Hello hello I just saw this episode an hour ago now I'm very happy to see your reaction to this episode of Ahsoka❤ she was so awesome fighting in space.
Its bad ass what is being done now from the animated series to live action. I hope there is more seasons because there is so much development that can be done for so many characters.
Thank you, Angela! I love your enthusiasm. I've been waiting for your reaction. When I watched the episode this evening, and they were doing all the space $#!+, I said it out loud: "I love space $#!+!" (I never used to say that before you. Thank you.) As for Star Wars... I've been watching, oh since before you were born. OG, that's me. The hyperspace ring: that's how Obi Wan and the Jedi used to go here and there with their little space ships. They'd hop around the system, attach to the ring, jump to wherever, detach from the ring, and hop around some more. I'm looking forward to wherever this show will take us! Thank you for the watch. I'll see you on the next one!
I have no idea if there is anything in this, but Skol and Hati in Norse mythology are the sons of the wolf Fenrir, who will devour the sun and the moon at Ragnarok...
Absolutely love how much you get into this!!! Keep up the great work. It's Star Wars amazing LOL!!! So many story lines erupted from this one!! So many questions. Ok subbed for the ride LOL.
Marrok is 100% voiced by Sam Witwer in this ep, I’m pretty sure. Compare his voice to General Kael’s voice in the Willow show, it’s nearly identical but with *slightly* more digital manipulation.
@@funnylilgalreactsI’m seriously dang near 100% sure that’s what it is at this point. I was 90% sure after the premiere eps, but the voice thing in this ep sealed it for me. Want to hear why I’m so sure? I’ve got a whole theory tying into the deeper symbolism and stuff (which is the really compelling part of the rationale, to my writer brain)
@@funnylilgalreactsalright I’m gonna copy and paste my theory here. I wrote it last week, but again, I’m even more convinced now: Marrok is a male character, based on Baylan using masculine pronouns for him and that his (Marrok’s) grunts when fighting Ahsoka sound male. I’d be more inclined to dismiss the grunts as perhaps a voice modulator or something if Baylan hadn’t used masculine pronouns. So, unfortunately, probably not Barriss, though I do still hope she’ll show up somehow. Also, again: it’s not Ezra. Why would he be back in known space without Thrawn? They have a whole “bust Morgan Ellsbeth out of jail, hunt down the maguffin, go on a quest beyond known space to find Thrawn” thing…while a guy in a mask is standing right next to them who knows where Thrawn is? Please. Dave isn’t a hack. Also, there’s another reason it isn’t Ezra, but I’ll get to that below. Yet, they’re playing up the mysterious identity of Marrok some through these first two episodes as if it’s going to be a cool reveal. Someone we know. Maybe it just ends up being a new character, that’s possible, and maybe I’m overthinking, but go with me on this anyway. Because this is Dave we’re talking about - I don’t think I’m overthinking. He tells deep, complex stories and is unafraid to set up story points YEARS in advance, patiently waiting to pay them off sometimes. First, we have the symbolism in the names. Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are named after the wolves in Norse mythology, Skoll and Hati, who chase the moon and sun. Marrok is a knight in Arthurian legend who turns into a wolf. Wolves are all over rebels mythology. Okay, so we have that aspect. Dave loves deeper symbolism and allegory, you get it. Then, we have the symbolism of The Father, The Daughter, and the Son, as told through the Mortus arc in clone wars. The father represents the *balance of the force* through both light and dark. And the father’s force progeny represent light (the daughter) and dark (the son). We already know Ahsoka represents the Daughter literally and figuratively, in the symbolism, after the mortus arc. Morai is always around her. I think Anakin clearly represents the father, as the chosen one who would bring *balance to the force* according to prophecy, and Ahsoka is not his literal progeny, but rather, is his *force* progeny. His apprentice, whom he taught the ways of the force. And she represents the light. Who would represent the son? Not ezra, who never even knew Anakin and certainly wasn’t trained by him (the other reason it isn’t Ezra). No, symbolically, the son would be a representation of Anakin’s other force progeny. A man anakin trained. Anakin’s only other apprentice…ever. The character Dave Filoni once told Sam Witwer he considered making an Inquisitor in Rebels. The man whose actual name is Galen. *Marek* Folks, Marrok is Starkiller. Book it.
I think they’re absolutely nerfing him (because they’d absolutely have to, Starkiller was stupid broken in the games in terms of his power scale) and probably retconning him some. But I’m almost certain it’s essentially him.
Your infectious enthusiasm for "space shit" makes me so happy :D The original movie (well, the X-wing) is the reason I joined the Air Force to be a pilot.
Huyang was also in an episode or two of Clone Wars, that's where I knew him from. The episode where Ahsoka took younglings to Illum to find their Kyber Crystals and build their lightsabers, was quite kid-friendly but still interesting.
Also, if you watch the pre-quels (the third I'm sure has this at least.) they have hyperspace rings for "regular" ships without the capability to travel through hyperspace. They dock into the ring so it becomes a part of/with the ship and then you can un-dock aswell when you are at your destination. I assume this ring is like this but for a large goddamn Star-Destroyer and to travel MUCH further in a short amount of time.
@@funnylilgalreactsI think it could be a good excuse for why Ahsoka and the gang were "missing" or not in the larger films during the sequels. Either lack of fuel or maybe stuff breaking. Would not be surprised if the shot of Thrawn in the trailers is him but in that other galaxy. Not sure he ever made it back to the "regular" one. EXCITING indeed
Great reaction vid, of course i always watch yours first. Amazing episode, loved your recap, and cant wait to see next weeks.... hate we have to wait, but so worth it.....
I think the hyperspace ring will work exactly like the ring that Obi-Wan uses in Episode 2 Attack of the Clones. You might not even need a ship to attach to it as it seems to have a bridge built into it. Although a Purgil might go in the opening but I doubt it.

Even just standing still, Baylan has so much presence.
RIP Ray 😥
Ray Stevenson is by far the most interesting character at this point in the Ashoka storyline in my opinion. Incredible performance. Really disappointed he won't be in future seasons 😢

I thought it was a really interesting comment about Ahsoka being from a long line of non-traditional Jedi, because it is DEAD on honestly.
starting with the Padawan and going to the Master the line goes:
Ahsoka(who has very non-traditional views about the Jedi)
Anakin(The Chosen One who also turned to the dark side)
Obi-Wan(The First Jedi known in a millennium to kill a Sith Lord and one of the best practitioners of form 2 the Jedi ever had)
Qui-Gon(Jedi Master with very non-traditional views about how the Jedi operated, and the first to discover how to survive beyond death)
Count Dooku(Jedi Master who turned to the Dark side and was one of the best Lightsaber Duelists of the Jedi in a Millennium)
Yoda(1 of 2 of his species in the Jedi Order, probably the strongest Lightsaber duelist or force wielder the Jedi had for a Millennium)
idk who trained Yoda but they must have been a hell of the Jedi
Now that is a question I have not heard asked before and now I find it so intriguing. Ya who did train Yoda? How great of a Jedi were they?
@@ronweber1402 Thinking about it they are doing a 2nd season of Tales of the Jedi, it would be cool to see a young Yoda in that
The blonde force wielder is Shin Hati (Pronounced Ha-tee) is played by actress Ivanna Sakhno (Pronounced Sock-No). She is Ukrainian like myself which is very cool. She hasn't done many movies but one you may like is the 2020 thriller Let It Snow. She was also in the movie Pacific Rim.
THATS where i knew her from, she was the women of the Russian Jager!
@@fir3gaming664 She was the pilot of Bracer Phoenix
don't forget her role as an assassin in the movie The Spy who dumped me.
All I know is she is freaking gorgeous.

Man, David Tenent is good. He's great as an actor, and he's a great voice actor. A few inflections though, I only heard Tge Doctor (his original Doctor) . I half expected to hear "the Ood" come our of his mouth.
Now that we've seen the purrgil, I wonder if we'll eventually get to see a flashback of Thrawn and Ezra getting dragged away by them during the Battle of Lothal, from their perspective.
That episode delivered the goods... it wasn't just amazing, it was amazingly amazing! Seriously, from beginning to end nothing but satisfaction and warm fuzzies. This was the right stuff!
I love your reactions to ahsoka.
Star Wars interests me but haven't seen it all so your explanations of backstory is actually helpful for me to piece this show together.
THIS WAS FINE SPACE SHIT.
I always enjoy it when you say you love Space Shit!! Warms my heart!! Hahahh 🤣🤣🤣
🎵Goin' up to the Purrgil in the sky (spirit in the sky)
That's where I'm gonna go when I fly (when I fly)
When the Jedi put me to the test
I'm gonna go with the whale that's the best🎶
12:29 me every day since like 1980 trying to get the remote from across the room...
Huyang is officially the most obnoxious droid in the Star Wars universe, he makes C-3PO seem pleasant
I've never commented on your posts but just wanted to say how much I love both your reactions (to various shows) and how emotional you are. I thought I was the only one who could cry at such things so easily! I'm loving Ahsoka, too though I wish this episode could have been a little longer. Something tells me the Ghost could show up next episode to assist Ashoka and Sabine, regardless the Senators. Once a member Hera's crew, always a member her crew. Rebels 4 Life!
Sabines Padawan journey reminds me of my ADHD-issues. Trying to be the best in a field you are learning about because you feel some kind of pressure to be better than others to keep up with them. Her wanting to be good enough to help Ezra and speeding up training is relatable. I do believe that she will find "her way of the force" kind of. Maybe she gets like a spidey-sense more than moving objects.
Walking out into space to defend your DIW ship from enemy fighters is such an Anakin move and i love that for her
Oh to be running around a GIANT spaceship as a kid with Chopper...the trouble we'd get in!!! Hera's line of "Just sat back and waited to see who came out on top?"...BADASS!!!
Something on that planet must be the Purrgil's food/fuel source to trigger hyperspace travel, Cluzon 36 if I'm not mistaken.
Zatochi has to be a reference to Zatoichi, the blind swordsman.
who is also the inspiration for chirrut, the blind monk from Rogue One
the scene with Jacen was heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. You can tell Hera doesnt want Jacen to have the same fate as his father. =(
And man, that scene gives me chills/goosebumps everytime!
Great to see Mon Mothma. Painfully ironic though to see her scene with Hera and the Senators mirror Dedra's scene in "Andor" where she's trying to convince her superiors of a growing threat and being ignored. I was hoping Mothma would lend Hera a little "off the books" help - that's right in her wheelhouse. (I'm hopeful she still might)
Si sad they reduced mon mothma to a pushover character with no real power 😢
Pushover? Definitely not a pushover
@@funnylilgalreacts I more read it as her being pragmatic. Which is true to form
Pretty sure the ring isn't a gate (like Stargate), it's a giant engine like the Jedi fighters would use to travel in hyperspace.
Even nine days later, it still is amazing. 😄
it looks like a larger version of the ring that Luke and ObiWan had around their fighters, so they use it to hype around but then park it somewhere in space to land
Looking forward to Sabine's "awakening" moment.
This was an absolute blast of an ep, despite the shorter runtime! Space shit, yeah! Seeing Jacen was heartbreaking, but knowing that he's been partially raised by 'big brother' Chopper makes me worried...
Chopper is… not the best role model
I love this stoic, supremely wise Ahsoka that some online seem to have a problem with. You know, we’ve watched a little girl go from Padawan to Jedi Knight to a Master Force Welder - from a young lady to grown woman. We should expect this two-time war veteran to be different from those experiences and I’m loving it.
She's been through a lot. I loved that she was excited about the whales and those smirks between her and Sabine. I think they are both acting appropriately for what they've been through and what they are going to face.
Every time I see Rey Stevenson on screen I'm just gutted. He was such a great actor. And he just comes off so cool in this Baylan Skoll role. I also loved him in The Punisher and Book Of Eli. But I'm happy to be back watching some Star Wars with ya :)
He also played a pretty good villain in Dexter.
His work in Rome as Titus Pullo is still my favorite!
Some great moments in this episode
Baylan standing there all menacing, looking like Stannis. Sweet! Great bad guy.
Give me 35 minutes of Ahsoka training Sabine in the ways of the force please. Felt like we were back on Dagobah and i was 100% into it. Ahsoka sees potential so it just be there.
The Pergill looked Fantastic
Mon Mothma fought so hard against dictatorship. Ironic that the galaxy needs her to be the new dictator. Short sighted greedy politicians make the first order possible
15:16 I had the same thought about Silence of the Lambs in that moment. Lol
Just nice to hear you speak passionately about any subject. May all YT reactors be well.
I was surprised that Hera didn’t mention the Seven Giant Hyper drives and that they should go look for the hyperdrives and the ship they go to.
I wish they gave Kanan a small mention during the training session on Ahsoka's ship since it was Kanan who trained sabine in season 3 episode of rebels trials of the dark sabre which i think is the best episode of rebels
Right? You'd think it would come up that Sabine was initially trained in the lightsaber by a blind Jedi.
The ring reminds me of a larger version of the one we see on Obi-Wan's fighter from the prequel trilogy that he would detach after coming out of hyoerspace.
After I watched this episode, I was very excited to see your reaction due to the emotional impact of it. (I watch other reactors, but you're the emotional one that is needed, at least for me, it validates my emotions for SW). The training montage was awesome and expected due to Sabine's "rust" but damn, it was so cool. The Senate meeting, Hera! Just so friggin Rebels...loved her reaction to all of them. Jacen! Seeing nearly broke me. 😭😭😭 The space battle, Ahsoka's space walk, and Huyang being himself, just awesome. Seeing the Purrgil in live action, yeah, I cried. 😭😭😭 Let's think about who is behind this series...Filoni. Everything YOU wanted (we also want) is going to happen in some capacity and then some. This is ALL Filoni. The Director may change...but sheeeeeeeeeeit...this is Filoni animation into live action leading up to Filoni Movie. It's gonna be wizard!
Easily 11/10. This one episode did so much for Star wars than most of the content we've been given over the years. Between the writing, visuals,directing, acting and music it was just a perfect balance. It wasn't flashy but it gave so much more in return and reintroduced old ideas that made us all fall in love with the series in the first place.
Morrock is starkiller in video game, Vader used his dna to create a apprentice and it’s been said he became a inquisitor
Pergil amazing.
Angela amazing.
Natasha amazing.
Angela amazing.
Ivanna amazing.
Angela amazing.
Hmmm, I sense a trend here ... 😎😎😎
Agree this was awesome! I'm loving this series
Even though it was only 30-plus minutes, this episode packed a lot of heat.
It was great seeing development with Sabine as a potential Force user, the sequence involving Hera and the Senate being tense (nice seeing Jacen Syndulla for the first time) and that space battle looked quite cool.
Obviously, I wish there was more runtime, but, alas, beggars can't be choosers.
Excited for next week's episode!
Fun to watch your delight.
You see Obi-Wan use a hyperspace ring when he goes to Kamino and Geonosis in attack of the clones. This one is scaled up so that they can bring back Thrawn’s star destroyer.
Shin Hatti looks soooo much like the singer Aurora!!!!!!!!! Even her weird movements and expressions!!!!! 🎼I am Warrior🎤🎶Warrior🎵🎶Warrior!
"Time to fly, makes me think of Hera." Makes me think of REO Speedwagon.
29:13 We saw Obi Wan use a very small version to get to that planet to spy on Dooku.
Ahsoka's spacewalk was done so much better than Leia's. This made me happy.
I agree with you on Baylon. His quiet brooding is more intimidating than the toddler like outbursts of Kylo Ren.
A Chopper focused episode would up the body count, for sure.😂
Jacen is so adorable. My mom heart burst when he said he wanted to be a Jedi.
I loved this review! The passion just "oozes" from every aspect that you presented. I'm so ready to catch episode #4 w/ you!!!
Oh yeah, have you managed to stay dry over the past couple of weeks with all the rain?
Thank you for sharing this ride w/ us... :-) .
M-
I was getting a flashback to Rebels with Ezra and the Mandalorians when we saw Ahsoka fighting in space.
I'm so happy to get it in live action!
I don't know if you noticed but on Jacen's left shoulder he's wearing Kanan's pauldron that he had in Rebels
I wold not be surprised that sometime soon Ahsoka and Balan join forces and we get a team Jedi.
Glad your are enjoying the series, great fun watching you react to movies and shows and is why I subscribed to channel. I think you should have some merc. Maybe a coffee mug or t-shirt with 'I LOVE SPACE SH*T!' on it! You can grow it from there.
I just got a prototype in the mail today! They’ll be available soon
The blonde Sith Padawan is Shin Hati she3 is portrayed by Ivanna Sakhno.
I don't know if anyone has said this yet about the hyperspace ring yet or not. In Star Wars episode 2 Attack of the Clones, Obi wan Kenobi actually used a Hyperspace Ring. It was a lot smaller, of course, than the big one in this show but it's there.
Hello hello I just saw this episode an hour ago now I'm very happy to see your reaction to this episode of Ahsoka❤ she was so awesome fighting in space.
This is heads and tails above Andor. The first episode of Andor could have been entitled Cassian takes a walk.
I think it's hilarious that they had David Tennant do his "Wellll" when talking to Ahsoka in the cockpit.
Its bad ass what is being done now from the animated series to live action. I hope there is more seasons because there is so much development that can be done for so many characters.
"[Jacen] Causing trouble with Chopper, no doubt" - cut to "yes, but I believe their activity speaks to a larger operation"
I see what you did there 😅
It’s pretty AMAZING!
Thank you, Angela! I love your enthusiasm. I've been waiting for your reaction. When I watched the episode this evening, and they were doing all the space $#!+, I said it out loud: "I love space $#!+!" (I never used to say that before you. Thank you.)
As for Star Wars... I've been watching, oh since before you were born. OG, that's me. The hyperspace ring: that's how Obi Wan and the Jedi used to go here and there with their little space ships. They'd hop around the system, attach to the ring, jump to wherever, detach from the ring, and hop around some more.
I'm looking forward to wherever this show will take us!
Thank you for the watch. I'll see you on the next one!
I have no idea if there is anything in this, but Skol and Hati in Norse mythology are the sons of the wolf Fenrir, who will devour the sun and the moon at Ragnarok...
This episode managed to do something that Star Wars hasn't done in a LONG time - tell a story with the action.
To squeeze in so much in such a short time..... Everything was right with this episode.
Absolutely love how much you get into this!!! Keep up the great work. It's Star Wars amazing LOL!!! So many story lines erupted from this one!! So many questions. Ok subbed for the ride LOL.
Ahsoka: I'm going on a space walk to slice up some fighters...
Force Ghost Anakin: That's my girl...... 😊
Yes. It was absolutely amazing! Such a great moment!
Marrok is 100% voiced by Sam Witwer in this ep, I’m pretty sure. Compare his voice to General Kael’s voice in the Willow show, it’s nearly identical but with *slightly* more digital manipulation.
I'm trying not to put "Sam Witwer is playing Morrok who is really Starkiller" out there, but like, yes please.
@@funnylilgalreactsI’m seriously dang near 100% sure that’s what it is at this point. I was 90% sure after the premiere eps, but the voice thing in this ep sealed it for me. Want to hear why I’m so sure? I’ve got a whole theory tying into the deeper symbolism and stuff (which is the really compelling part of the rationale, to my writer brain)
@@funnylilgalreactsalright I’m gonna copy and paste my theory here. I wrote it last week, but again, I’m even more convinced now:
Marrok is a male character, based on Baylan using masculine pronouns for him and that his (Marrok’s) grunts when fighting Ahsoka sound male. I’d be more inclined to dismiss the grunts as perhaps a voice modulator or something if Baylan hadn’t used masculine pronouns. So, unfortunately, probably not Barriss, though I do still hope she’ll show up somehow.
Also, again: it’s not Ezra. Why would he be back in known space without Thrawn? They have a whole “bust Morgan Ellsbeth out of jail, hunt down the maguffin, go on a quest beyond known space to find Thrawn” thing…while a guy in a mask is standing right next to them who knows where Thrawn is? Please. Dave isn’t a hack. Also, there’s another reason it isn’t Ezra, but I’ll get to that below.
Yet, they’re playing up the mysterious identity of Marrok some through these first two episodes as if it’s going to be a cool reveal. Someone we know. Maybe it just ends up being a new character, that’s possible, and maybe I’m overthinking, but go with me on this anyway. Because this is Dave we’re talking about - I don’t think I’m overthinking. He tells deep, complex stories and is unafraid to set up story points YEARS in advance, patiently waiting to pay them off sometimes.
First, we have the symbolism in the names. Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are named after the wolves in Norse mythology, Skoll and Hati, who chase the moon and sun. Marrok is a knight in Arthurian legend who turns into a wolf. Wolves are all over rebels mythology. Okay, so we have that aspect. Dave loves deeper symbolism and allegory, you get it.
Then, we have the symbolism of The Father, The Daughter, and the Son, as told through the Mortus arc in clone wars. The father represents the *balance of the force* through both light and dark. And the father’s force progeny represent light (the daughter) and dark (the son). We already know Ahsoka represents the Daughter literally and figuratively, in the symbolism, after the mortus arc. Morai is always around her. I think Anakin clearly represents the father, as the chosen one who would bring *balance to the force* according to prophecy, and Ahsoka is not his literal progeny, but rather, is his *force* progeny. His apprentice, whom he taught the ways of the force. And she represents the light.
Who would represent the son? Not ezra, who never even knew Anakin and certainly wasn’t trained by him (the other reason it isn’t Ezra).
No, symbolically, the son would be a representation of Anakin’s other force progeny. A man anakin trained. Anakin’s only other apprentice…ever.
The character Dave Filoni once told Sam Witwer he considered making an Inquisitor in Rebels.
The man whose actual name is Galen. *Marek*
Folks, Marrok is Starkiller.
Book it.
I think they’re absolutely nerfing him (because they’d absolutely have to, Starkiller was stupid broken in the games in terms of his power scale) and probably retconning him some. But I’m almost certain it’s essentially him.
Oh great -- looks like Maul is back! (dude's a cockroach) 😋
Your infectious enthusiasm for "space shit" makes me so happy :D
The original movie (well, the X-wing) is the reason I joined the Air Force to be a pilot.
Huyang was also in an episode or two of Clone Wars, that's where I knew him from. The episode where Ahsoka took younglings to Illum to find their Kyber Crystals and build their lightsabers, was quite kid-friendly but still interesting.
Ashoka is a great teacher she did learn from three of the best
He *heard* the space whales.
Finaly some great spaceship stuffs. That episode was pure Star Wars.
Also, if you watch the pre-quels (the third I'm sure has this at least.) they have hyperspace rings for "regular" ships without the capability to travel through hyperspace.
They dock into the ring so it becomes a part of/with the ship and then you can un-dock aswell when you are at your destination. I assume this ring is like this but for a large goddamn Star-Destroyer and to travel MUCH further in a short amount of time.
I think I’m confused as to if the engines are reusable. I don’t know I think I just wanna see it in action.
@@funnylilgalreactsI think it could be a good excuse for why Ahsoka and the gang were "missing" or not in the larger films during the sequels. Either lack of fuel or maybe stuff breaking. Would not be surprised if the shot of Thrawn in the trailers is him but in that other galaxy. Not sure he ever made it back to the "regular" one.
EXCITING indeed
Great reaction vid, of course i always watch yours first. Amazing episode, loved your recap, and cant wait to see next weeks.... hate we have to wait, but so worth it.....
Throught this episode, I thought of Angela asking for spaceship battles xD
I think the hyperspace ring will work exactly like the ring that Obi-Wan uses in Episode 2 Attack of the Clones. You might not even need a ship to attach to it as it seems to have a bridge built into it. Although a Purgil might go in the opening but I doubt it.
