Another Marrok Theory (Yes, Really)

- Marrok is dead and gone. But his theories will live on forever. I've got one more, and I'm still on my Eighth Brother poodoo. Buckle up for some silly theory-crafting!

It’s not that crazy. It actually makes more sense than a bunch of things that were speculated about him since we first saw him.
Agreed. I think its all pretty plausible, and pretty cool as well. Its nice to see a Night Sister doing her thing with dark force magic. It adds to the mythology of Star Wars and makes it more interesting because its not all and always about Jedi and Sith.
I thought that 'a dead Inquisitor -resurrected with Nightsister magic' was the obvious/intended answer?
It 100% is. I think SWE is just being cautious here, but it's obvious this is what was intended.
That’s what I thought
It was certainly one of the most likely with the visuals xD but it's vague enough that without them straight up telling us that, it could be something else entirely.
He’s just looking for clicks bro
The true truth is that the Eighth brother was a clone of Luke Skywalker made by Barriss Offee all along until he was re-animated by Morgan who is in fact Starkiller Calrissian.
If Ahsoka had a nickel for every time she killed an Inquisitor and they turned into dust, she'd have two nickels. Which is not a lot of money, but it's weird that she did it twice
I think it's weird that I haven't seen too many people talk about the Inquisitor from Tales of the Jedi also turning to dust.
@@souptime821 I don't really remember, wasn't it just deflated?
@@Sekir80 Technically it was just deflated, but it's still implied to be a smoke monster or something. At least that's what I got from it.
@@souptime821 Yea, smoke is a bit different than dust, though. I wasn't really looking into similarities here, I took those a bit like a metaphor, tbh, not looking for explanation within lore.
@@Sekir80 On a certain level, smoke is just hot dust
I think being a dead inquisitor magically resurrected by Morgan makes the most sense
Seeing Marrok's limbs shrink was a detail i missed. what a great catch!
It’s because the armor and clothing was empty. Take you arm out of your sleeve and notice the same magic(k)
If he was being contained by the suit, Morgan would have had to give him new boots and gloves, because the ones the Eight Brother wore were fingerless and I think he was barefoot. That would account for his hands and feet looking more humanoid, since that's the type of clothing Morgan would have available
No need to go that far, honestly. Look at the Pykes: they looked very alien in animation, often with mitten/open gloves, but were just regular fishlike humanoids with regular gloves and boots in live action... the same could go for the Eighth brother but some people prefered to discard the possibility entirely and went wild in foil hat territory with their theories. 😅
@@Oleus I know but that inconsistency with the pykes really bothers me, so if I can find a way to accomodate Marrok to 8B's species, I'll prefer that
@@Jander833 well, that's not exactly inconsistency, is it ? 😅
Animation and live action have slightly different aesthetics, mostly for practical reasons. All characters from Rebels looked a lot different in live action to be honest. Just look at the inquisitors in Obiwan or even Hera in this show... that's just how it is.
But you can still explain that with the fact those stories are like legendary tales from another galaxy and they can have variations from one narrator to another. That way, everyone's headcanon is also as valid as another. 😅
@@OleusBudget and creativity also had a say on that one, but yeah
@@OleusThey also gave the grand inquisitor a completely different head in Obi Wan, despite us already seeing live action variants of his species in episode 3 that matched the Rebels appearance.
unhinged? That was spot on legit! If Morgan is interested in Nightsister stuff she would have been interested in Maul's movements. She would have gone to Malachor because maul went there or perhaps because she was backtracking Ahsoka's history. The Inquisitorius knew about Malachor so I'm sure a bunch of dark force users went there to loot its treasures
That’s literally what I thought when it happened. He *was* the 8th brother, but just reanimated. That at least keeps his death canon, but brings him back with mechanics that have been used before. It works
One thing I don't get: Baylan seemed to vouch for him to Morgan, implying he's more with Baylan than her. If Morgan reanimated him, it should've been the other way around. Oh well, idk.
When did he do that?
@@legoboy468 2nd episode: "Marrok will complete his task." "See to it that he does."
@@calebtaran9486 maybe Baylon was there when Marrok was revived and was the one that told her to revive him? And she begrudgingly agreed? So now he just vouches for him as a fellow force user?
Lots of room for speculation
@@adriang1137 That's what I thought too. I think he was an old enemy (and then maybe ally) of Baylan.
No!! It's great to be discussing this, because it reinforces Morgan's character as a nightsister. Just like her using magick to activate the star map.
Clues that he was dead the whole time: His suit gets thin as he gets pulverized, meaning that he was only bones at this point.
Clues against that: He speaks and he uses the force. Which could be abilities that he preserves, but that feels weird.
The idea of Marrok being a dust man isn't crazy at all. I like it.
Marrok being Starkiller wasn't impossible since Dave mentioned bringing him back and Bariss was possible because this is about Ahsoka.
I don’t think Ahsoka will answer this. I do think a comic will answer this eventually
Good point. It sounds like something one shot or limited run could do. Kinda like that comic how Phasma survived Starkiller base explosion
This ideas great and to add on to it. Morgan travelling to Malachor could explain how Ahsoka manages to leave the planet. And the redesign of Marrock's armour particularly the feet could be explained by Morgan needing to create a suit that can keep his dusty form intact.
The Star Wars databank entry said he became a mercenary and then was hired by Morgan. So if he died and came back to life you have to factor in he became a mercenary.
"The mysterious Marrok now works as a mercenary hired by Morgan Elsbeth to carry out dark deeds." I've only included some of the entry.
It's interesting the last two inquisitors we have been shown by filoni have both turned into gas. Morgan could have made the first one from a dead jedi I guess. Maybe she pledged her allegiance to palps after the massacre of the nightsisters to survive.
I see it as ash rather than smoke (- ^ ) A rapid degradation of the reanimated body.
It’s not crazy. I want Jek Porkins in Andor next season in all his gloriousness
Personally, I think Marrok could be a reanimated Taron Malicos. He was a fallen jedi buried alive on Dathomir, so maybe Morgan traveled there to find potential warriors to serve her among the nightbrothers, but feels the presence of a darker force, and finds Taron's lightsabers and his body. Of course, thag also brings in the possibility of a resurrected 5th Brother from Malachor while using bits of the various Inquisitor lightsabers found on that planet too. Lots of theories, and I half expect us to get a book in the future following Morgan's exploits before her appearance in The Mandalorian
Your humor in your videos is on point recently dude. The nose bleed, the slow zoom ins. Keep it up!
That's gotta be it. Good job on that one Alex. That actually sound like something Filoni would have don't in clone wars.
I don't know because the Star Wars databank entry for the characters says that he was Inquisitor then was a mercenary that got hired by Morgan.
Ahsoka seems to have some strange ability to cause bazzar deaths. The inquisitor in tales having his head deflate and now Morrock exploding into dust like a Dark Souls boss
I just liked the idea of Marrok being the last Inquisitor. Somebody who presumably survived the Jedi Purge, then survived the fall of the Inquisitors, and ended up as a mercenary working under a Dark Jedi. That's a pretty cool character right there, without needing to be somebody else, and I'm honestly a little disappointed that he's already been killed off. Right when I was thinking "Okay, he's pretty awesome!" he dies. But hey, it was fun while he lasted.
I think that spell of enhancement and necromancy only works on Darthomirians. But it's not like Night Sisters can't bring people back from the dead.
I just remembered .. Is Baylan Taron Malicos? He was also trapped on Darthomir with a night sister, former Jedi who escaped order 66.
Nah, Malicos was unhinged by the Sage's tomb and Order 66. He had very different motivations. I don't see him as a guy content to play second fiddle to Morgan. Plus, I'm pretty sure Merrin killed him, hence "Dathomir will be your grave."
@@TigerofRobare Aye, Merrin killed Malicos and burried him in rubble and yeah, Baylan acts completely different and clearly seems to hold the Jedi of old in a much higher regard than Malicos did when he died
It's fun to overthink and make connections like this, even if they might be completely ridiculous😅 I know I've done it ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Its fun until People start complaining that their theorys didnt Come True.
@@notobi-wan8344 Yeah, we gotta remember to have fun and not get too upset
I want him to have been alive and to have been a new Inquisitor. The Nightsister smoke makes it harder to pretend nothing weird happened to him, but he could've been a cloudy non-solid, non-liquid lifeform like that Jedi master in charge of the hangar on Starlight Beacon. Perhaps helped with magick to attain or keep a humanoid shape inside armour.
Honestly it makes more sense than him being Starkiller, love a good unhinged Alex moment
When I watched the episode, that's what I thought it was. Marrok was an Inquisitor that had died over a decade ago, and Nightsister magik animated him like a Mummy. While he was just bones at this point, the dust was what gave his body shape and allowed him to move. It would explain why his armor is heavily patina'd compared to other Inquisitor's we've seen. He doesn't care, because he's dead. Essentially, he was just 'a cursed suit of armor'.
It is interesting that he had a name though, which may imply that Baylin knew who he was pre-order 66 and turning into a inquisitor. So Baylin was projecting the personality of the fallen Jedi, possibly a friend, onto the golem.
2:40 Dying Vader's eyebrows were digitally painted out in the Special Edition. He always had eyebrows, they're just legends now.
Before this episode came out I was like “maybe Marrok is just Marrok”
I agree. Marrok is an empty suit of armour that was brought to life by magic.
The moment I saw him die, it was pretty clear to me it was Nightsister Magic. I did think Marrok was the 8th Brother the whole time and Morgan brought him back from the dead or was like a reanimated armor like in other universes. Still very cool
So it was true marrock was never a stark killer and we all thought
No Ilyn Payne is a Stark Killer
@@Bawgle this response is hilarious.
@@BackyardStudios25 I mean come on there has not been any Cannon evidence yet
none yet because the cannonball took a dive into the water. we'll never know what happened to the cannon itself
@@daeseongkim93 let’s wait and see
Clearly he was just some guy created with nightsister magic
If that was the case, then I'm disappointed they didn't get Robbie Daymond back to voice him.
I remember the Makuta are like this in the Bionicle series. They're actually made of gas and any significant cut into their armor will result in them leaking out
I would be flat out floored if they brought Luuke into canon.
I like the idea that Marrok was rebirthed / reanimated by Elsbeth. That makes ALL the sense. I can go along with him being an inquisitor zombie until we're told otherwise. But I think it's pretty clear that Marrok was just a masked villain that was seeded and set up as a distraction for us fans. We got all wrapped up in talking about who this person really was, like a Scooby-Doo villain of the week. In retrospect I think Filoni needed some tough cannon fodder for Ahsoka to deal with in the 1st half of the season (and particularly for use in the trailers) and now that we're about to bring Thrawn and Ezra into the mix, Marrok is no longer needed. Simple as that. Moving forward we can focus more on Shin and Baylan, who will probably turn on each other at some point, leaving Sabine to wrangle Ezra, and for Thrawn to do his Thrawning. What does this leave for Ahsoka to do? Who is her chief antagonist? Will another villain to be introduced? I dunno but I'm dying to find out!
Haha I agree that him being the Eight Brother specifically might be too unhinged, but I absolutely agree that he has to be a resurrected Empire-era Inquisitor.
And here I was going with something simple like his outfit is an environmental suit that keeps him alive - regular air is probably like acid to him so he just burned up once she slashed him.
I keep wondering why Marrok's death was similar to that Inquisitor in Tales of the Jedi. More Nightsister witchcraft? Or is it a contrast of how Obi-Wan disappeared at death? Do some Darksiders go up in smoke?
I think you are right on the undead inquisitor aspect, but I think it's the Sixth Brother version from Tales of the Jedi, not the Ahsoka book. At the end of the episode when he is beheaded you see his hood and face mask shrivelled down as if he had turned to dust inside, A reanimated version of him in inside night sister sorcery forged armour would make sense.
Im totally down with him not being any crazy pull from other starwars lore, but please god let us get ONE piece of info about barriss.
You go Alex! Fly off those rails! That isn't so unhinged, though. I think it makes more sense than most of what I've been reading. If Morgan just needs to collect his dust and put it in a new suit then maybe we'll be seeing him again!
That Inquisitor Ahsoka killed in Tales of the Jedi shriveled up as well when he died.
Honestly this is exactly what i thought when i first saw the episode. The dust immediately clicked to me as nightsister magic
Look how his arm deflates when he bursts into dust. There's def. Night sister magic involved
“Let me have this” 😆
Marrok being undead may explain why you don't see his face.
“Falling rarely seems to kill a Force user”
Mace Windu: sad noises
He's a Thousand Sons rubric marine obviously.
This is the second inquisitor that exploded into dust on death. In Tales of the Jedi, Ahsoka kills an inquisitor and he explodes the same way.
Not exactly the same way. His head deflated after it lands on the ground but we don’t see any dust come out
went back for a rewatch and there is some smoke and a trace amount of dust that exits the eyes of the mask. They don't really show the body. and Marrok totally deflated.@@justintaylor1713
I think the green gas that comes out is just a Star Wars version of the blood spray that shoots out of Kurosawa-esque samurai deaths. It’s just an homage.
All we are is dust the wind, my friend.
You can still see his emaciated body under the armor. His arms thin out as the magic leaves his body, so too does his hands. So he’s likely just a corpse. Not composed of dust.
I like the idea of him being a night sister puppet zombie, I'm just not sure he's that specific dead inquisitor. Honestly I kinda wish he had survived longer and just been this last remaining inquisitor.
I think theres a story that could be told about a character who started as a jedi, survived the fall of the order, fell to the darkside while desperately seeking something to cling to in that time, then survived the fall of that order too. What effect would that have on someone? Where do they go from there? Do they regret their choices?
Marrok's existence got me thinking about that stuff and now it kinda feels like missed potential
Better than the overall lunacy on Facebook and Instagram. I was in the Galen Marek camp but was okay for the event of it not coming to be.
I think this could be true but I also think he could be the inquisitor from Tales Of The Jedi
I NEED Filoni to explain this someday. But for now, I love the theories!
Merrok, being some revenant, makes sense. Yet, Marrok does show some intelligence and planning, so he is not just some zombie puppet. My headcanon, for now, is that Marrok pursued Baylon Skoll, only to be almost killed (or actually killed) and revived by Morgan Elsbeth as a revenant servant.
A billion theories crushed automatically 😂
I'm personally warming up to the idea that he wasn't a Jedi Knight at all, maybe he wasn't even a force sensitive but was given force power via nightsister magic, not unlike the Valley of Jedi.
I was thinking Nightsister necromancy as well. Just not specifically the Eighth Brother. Could be though.
I was thinking the same exact thing! I'm glad I got some serious backing by the top Star Wars channel.
With Marrok on his action figure you can see a lot of “rust” which after seeing the episode, it definitely made me think dude was dead for a long time.
i thought he was a literal corpse(8th brother or a random inquisitor) given life by morgan because his arms shrink way more than savage(like into literal bones), but this also makes much sense.
I prefer this MUCH more than all the stupid theories that went around before this episode. Ezra, starkiller, Luuke, and Barris are all such bad ideas. I'd love if marrok is simply new or something along the lines of your idea.
Unhinged or not it's not a big logical leap. I love it!
I thought it could be more a dark manifestation of the force through night sister magic tbh. Like there was no real person in there and never was, he was just using the "armour" as a vessel for a body or something. Like as if there's nothing but dust/smoke inside there and it was like a balloon bursting ya know.
Honestly makes way more sense than him being Ezra.
It has more going for it than any of the other theories. All of them really boil down to that we don't see his face, and we haven't seen the theorized character
SW fans never learn to not go crazy with the theories. Every time an Inquisitor with a helmet showed up, people thought it was Barriss. And then all the crazy theories about Snoke and Rey’s parents definitely derailed episode 7’s story.
Then they get mad and throw tantrums when they’re theories aren’t canon
Anyone else get the feeling Shin was in love with Morrok with the way she told Sabine "you'll regret that", why else would she try to choke her out when Sabine surrendered
ALL IS DUST
~Marrok of the Raptorae Cult
I think this makes perfect sense, even if he isn’t the eighth brother and just a random inquistor
I wouldn't go into the "dust golem" territory, a nighsister-zombie inquisitor kept alive by Elzbeth's magic does seem like the obvious explanation.
If HellBoy can make a dust man held together by a suit then I think Star Wars should be allowed it as well.
I’m usually against character resurrections, but I would kind of like it if Morgan revived him again. I like the idea of him being this nigh unkillable mindless bodyguard. Just a husk of a man that you can only take down if you take down the source of his life i.e. Morgan Elsbeth.
Rebels Kenan and Sabine were captured by witches in a cave. As a result, they could not get out of the cave, but there is a witch, after all, could such a thing happen here in Asahoka? They were like green clouds in the cave
That's about what I figured except the malekor stuff. I might have connected him to the one in tales of a Jedi instead
Love how Disney Star Wars is so easily understood. And how lightsabers can’t really kill. I mean they can… but…
I mean, that's kind of what I thought. Given the Inquisition armor and weapon, I rather figured that he was a nightsister revenant.
People thought he was Ezra!? I get Barriss or starkiller as strong wishful thinking, and eighth brother makes some sense, but c’mon y’all
Tin Foil serves you well; but I more likely to believe it was the (insert number) Inquisitor not shown yet. His origin/connection to Morgan could prove HUGE if the next Fallen Order game uses Thrawn. He could be an undead Inquisitor that was kept "off the books" by Morgan for protection/bodyguard. Leave 8th brother dead.
I love these new zoom ins! 😂
Money is in the Morak being the grand inquisitor since vader had his spirit guarding a jedi temple where like found a yellow lightsaber. What if Morgan found the GQ's spirit there and used her magic to resurrect him.
Marrok is setup for Thrawn - instead of clones like the OG trilogy I’d bet money he’s gonna have undead stormtroopers.
Look at the weird fucked up trooper in the trailer
Where did you see Stormtroopers at in one of the Ahsoka series trailers? (I don't recall ever seen any Stormtroopers appeared in any trailers shown in Ahsoka series as far as I know?)
@@DigiPen92 Official Trailer at 1:35. In the shot of Thrawn walking onto the Eye of Scion's bridge. In the corner behind him there looks to be stormtrooper but the face of the helmet is crazy looking.
We can infer the night sisters are from the other galaxy because they are descended from the civilization that built the map. Night sisters can do necromancy.
Makes logical sense that Thrawn would utilize necromancy to keep the Chimaera's complement at full.
@@forrestpenrod2294 Oh, I might need to relook at it.
Edit: Ok, I managed to relooked at the trailer, I did spotted where you pointed it out. I totally think that could be a new variant of Stormtrooper.
I don’t like the idea of him having been dead the whole time. It’s one thing for night sisters to resurrect what seemed like mindless corpses in clone wars that are really just vessels for the magic. But it’s another thing to be able to resurrect someone who is able to think, speak, and use the force like normal. Being able to truly resurrect the dead kind of breaks things in the world.
I’m just going to go with him being enhanced like Savage.
If he is/was an Inquisitor re-animated by Nightsister magic once, he could be re-re-animated and come back again ?!?! I also wonder - it seems some kind of ancestor of the NIghsisters came to the Star Wars Galaxy from Peridea, could it be that the "Yuuzhan Vong"-esque big bad threat lurking in the other galaxy is these Nighsister ancestors??
Heh. “Dustman” means something different in the UK.
Hey I had the same idea that Marrok was a Nightsister golem so you aren't alone.
Could he be something like an Ugor? The suit was just containing what he is actually made of so he can hold things and fly ships.
That's actually really well thought out.
Huh!!!…. I mean, this is half the reason Star Wars is fun, right? All the crazy theories. But I wouldn’t say it’s any crazier or weirder than anything good ol’ George would’ve written.
Love it!
I think this actually makes more sense than any of the other bizarrely random theories about his identity...I don't get why people were even theorising about his identity in the first place. 🤷🏼♂️
What if Morgan offers to empower Sabine through Night Sister magic the same way she did Marrok?
Honestly i think that would be very interesting, especially if sabine agrees to do it so she can use the force (ofc this would be viewed as a selfish act, but it would be a unique way to add a bigger rift between ahsoka and sabine)
Its a pretty good idea and I hope we do get more intel on Marrok and what magic was used on him.... maybe still alive some how
but I do not think he is the either brother cause well they fight nothing alike and are not near the same power level 🤔
Honestly this is a hundred times more sane and logical than the ridiculous Starkiller theories. Dude was a charicature, let it go.
