It’s funny how ppl freak out these days with characters easily doing a huge feat with their first rodeo with the force.... Luke had two days of training before guiding a torpedo to destroy a whole ass deathstar. Like come on ppl.
It's like people don't want someone to suddenly be powerful with the force and they don't want someone to struggle and then use the force. For those people, that's what Broom Kid was created for.
If Sabine didn't show Force abilities with potential to be powerful, Ahsoka would not have previously stopped training her for fear of her becoming dangerous (like Shin for example). And this we get from Huyang in this episode, so it is in the show. Ahsoka never said she had no ability, rather she kept trying to get her to relax and open herself up to the Force to let it flow. So once she opened up, it is quite believable that she could do as much as she did in this episode.
Yeah even in Rebels she had mental issues like this, and like they say everyone has the force to some degree Sabine's level's were just very low, too low to be brought into the order officially.
It's great that Thrawn got away. He deserves that win because he didn't underestimate the Jedi. Now Sabine has all the time in the world to train under Ashoka. Looking forward for another season of this
10:39 In the military a citation is an official recognition of performance. So he was acknowledging their performance with a good mark in their permanent record.

I am willing to accept that Sabine was able to do the push. I see it as she had a mental wall she broke through by summoning the saber, and once she did that, she had more faith in her ability which in turn made her more able to do it.
Exactly people don’t realise this kanan even said that she was blocked she had potential and when finally reunited with Ezra she made peace with herself and when she was pushed to finally let go she did it pushed through the mental barriers she had Ezra and ahsoka helped her with that especially when ahsoka finally let go herself and understood Sabine as a true master and apprentice relationship.
Now that Sabine has unlocked her potential, she has to brush up on her force abilities with Ahsoka. Though there may be a problem with the mind trick if the Noti aren't susceptible to it
I feel like Sabine used the force so quickly was a result of her opening up to her latent power, rather than skipping a bunch of training. Like she'd been practicing for so long, but there was something holding her back. Then she found it (life or death situation with so much riding on her survival) and boom, force-user!
So in this one 45 minute episode Ezra gets a new lightsaber (that looks very much like Kanan’s😢), we learn what caused the divide between Sabine and Ahsoka, Morgan Elsbeth seriously leveled up and gave us one of the coolest and best shot duels we’ve ever seen with Ahsoka, the Night Troopers truly became one of the most terrifying zombie armies of all time, Sabine finally managed to use the Force and become the first ever on screen Mandalorian Jedi, Sabine and Ahsoka managed to send Ezra home at the cost of them being stranded, Thrawn well and truly defeated the Jedi while also showing genuine remorse at losing his most loyal and capable follower in Morgan, Ezra finally reunited with Hera and Chopper (though I’m pissed we never got to see Zeb this whole season), we learn Baylan is searching for something connected to the Mortis Gods, and the final shot is of Anakin watching over Ahsoka!😮💨 I honestly wish this episode was longer given how there was SO MUCH stuff that happed but the pacing was a little fast, I really wish we had more than a minute of screen time with Skoll and Hati. I’m still sad that Ray Stevenson never got to live to see the love he would’ve gotten from fans for this show. Still the last scene of him standing on the statue of the Mortis Gods is now etched into my brain forever. I still wish Ray Stevenson lived long enough to see the overwhelming love and praise he would’ve gotten from fans for is perfect performance as one of the most amazing and complex characters in all of Star Wars. Rest In Peace Ray, you will live forever in the hearts of Star Wars fans.
I think when Thrawn knew Ahsoka was Anakin's apprentice he was nervous ever since so he did not want to take any chances He might be Lady Vader in his eyes 😅
Watching that scene between Huyang and Ezra after his 3rd lightsaber (man has as many blades as Obi-Wan) reminded of Ezra's first talk with Yoda. Specifically when the grand Master asked why Ezra wished to become a Jedi
It looks like the ship Ezra took was the one that Baylan and Shin had been travelling in before depending on the Eye of Sion that Morgan's people built to get around. He probably figured they would miss a tie fighter since military forces tend to inventory everything, but probably haven't even given that ship a second thought.
First time Mori (the force owl) was seen in live action was in "The Mandalorian" Season 2. When Mando walks into the forest looking ofr Ahsoka. Mori was in the tree.
23:09 I don't care if I get judged, I was actually crying when Anakin appeared to Ahsoka at the end similarly to how he appeared to Luke at the end of Return of the Jedi. He's always watching over them happily. It's also kinda fitting for his character to appear briefly before Sabine just to catch her and Ahsoka's attention as a mini-prank. Another "Hey Snips" moment. Hayden's smile at the end actually made me believe there was still a way for Ahsoka and Sabine. "There's hope for you yet." -Anakin ❤
Definitely a worthy finally; this episodes title is a reference to the chronicles of narnia the lion the witch and the wardrobe, ezra makes it back and hera goes full on mom mode for her foster son; sabine and ashoka seem to start mending bridges Nd thrawn return to the known galaxy. Now since its basically confirmed that the mortis gods had a strong pressence of the nightsisters ancestral home world a possible theory is that baylan is being called by abeloth the mother a powerful force entity who was once mortal but granted power by the mortis gods and join theeir family as the mother.
Anakin coulda been talking to ashoka off screen as sabine was walking up and warning her about what baylon was up to but thats probably just my head cannon 😂😂
Baylan is headed towards where the Mother was held in exile. She calls to him to release her, which unfortunately might be his doom. The Mother is chaos incarnate, she wants nothing but disorder and destruction.
Ezra stole Shin and Baylan's ship which was onboard the Eye of Scion. He used the Stormtrooper outfit to get clearance and then probably got out of Dodge the first opportunity he saw.
The thing that struck me, was that Sabine àctually connected with The Force, and it got me thinking about the repercussions of thàt. A Mandalorian..AND a Jedi. Talk about a 'Double Whammy' afa danger for her adversaries goes.. And something else: Ahsoka now has a 'magic saber" .. kinda like a vibro blade. Interesting possibilities for her fighting style ,I'd say. And, Yes. The appearance of the Moray immediately told me that things went as they should have. You can see Ahsoka suddenly realizing that she's exactly where she's supposed to be, and be at peace with it.
Well, they do need to deal with Baylan and Shin. And they'll either find their own way back when the time is right, or Ezra and Hera will mount a rescue mission
My theory for next play are: - Ahsoka and Sabine spend some time improve Sabine's skills before going back to "main" galaxy - Baylan (if his characters maintained) did something to "The Father, The Son and The Daughter" relics to ends rivalry between Jedi and Sith - Shin joined Ahsoka for the cause of fighting witches in the "main" galaxy (she seemed uncomfortable around them) - Ezra and Hera certainly must be busy preparing for "the parties" that held by Thrawn
RIP Morgan Elsbeth. She went out like a boss and added one more great fight to the many that were in this season. It seemed fitting she destroyed one of Ahsoka's lightsabers considering she was able to disarm her of one of them in their first fight.
Yes we Morai is in "the jedi" episode ... you can hear her and then see her in the tree watching Din Djarin and Grogu before Ahsoka pounces on Din lol ... I just rewatched the episode and was omg!!!
I hope we get to see Zeb return in live-action in Season 2. I want to see him reuniting with Ezra so much. I recently got to meet Steve Blum at Rose City Comiccon. Naturally, all the Star Wars fans asked him what it was like when they asked him to voice Zeb in live-action in S3 of The Mandalorian and he told us that he was super thrilled when he got to come back. Of course, he was all quiet when people asked if he knew anything about the Ahsoka series. But we're hoping he comes back in live-action.
Oh Dustin and Wendy I'm so happy I got to see your reaction to all the episodes of Ahsoka Especially this final episode hopefully there's a season 2 in future !!!

I remember seeing the morai in 'The Jedi', but it wasn't as distinct as it was here. But hen it was being used as more of a teaser for those in the know.
21:17 My guess is, this place might be Mortis. If it is, then that means that Ahsoka had been there before with Anakin and Obi-Wan. It's probably Abeloth calling to Baylan (Mother of Mortis).
5:27-5:56 The Blade of Talzin is definitely a TCW callback. It's the same sword that Mother Talzin used to duel Mace Windu in TCW Season 6. 6:08-6:20 This episode's title is a reference to the first book of the "Chronicles of Narnia" series. 6:20-7:54 As he was constructing his new lightsaber, I was wondering where Ezra got the kyber crystal for it, but I think it's probably the same one he used for his first lightsaber from "Rebels". 20:30-20:59 Technically, Morai's live-action debut was in "The Mandalorian" S2E5: "Chapter 13: The Jedi", but this episode gave us a proper full look of her even if it was at a distance. 21:06-21:28 Those are indeed statues of the Mortis Gods from TCW, but the one of the Daughter is destroyed while the ones of the Father and the Son are intact. 21:51-22:43 That Eta-class shuttle Ezra used to reunite with Hera, Chopper, and the New Republic forces belonged to Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. It was still parked on the Eye of Sion when traveling to and from the other galaxy. I enjoyed this season finale as well as seeing you two react to it. However, I'm pretty mixed about Sabine finally using the Force. I really hope we get confirmation for "Ahsoka (TV series)" Season 2 soon.
What we saw in Clone Wars was a force manifestation of that planet, I assume. So the Father, the Daugther and the Son lived here. And Baylan wants to get to that core, to the beginning.
The boxes could be generations of witches, just waiting to be awoken (such as Thrawn did for the Great Mothers), to repopulate Dathomir. Maybe the price he paid for their help was transporting all of them to Dathomir for that purpose. He got home - and they get to reestablish Dathomir.
it could be that the reason for showing little to nothing with Ray Stevenson in this last episode, which in itself was quite surprising, may be because they now need to use all the footage they made, at a later point in time to wrap it all up, so it will make sense without actually replacing Stevenson with another actor.
If i have my way, the ending would be: There is struggle keeping Thrawn from leaving and eventually got away and went to hyperspace... our heroes was dissapointed similar to the MCU Infinity ending... Thrawn exits hyperspace and then on a distant galaxy unbeknownst to the Republic, the allies of Thrawn one by one are exiting hyperspace and entering in front of the Chimera of Thrawn... the once scattered empire forces are now pilling up to become a massive display of force... one of the general that arrived from hyperspace welcome Thrawn, saying "your excellency, Grand Admiral Thrawn, we are here waiting for your command" Thrawn walking forward the window to gaze upon th armada and responded, "the empire shall once again take its place to bring order in this galaxy!" The End! Empire soundtrack drumming up Lets prepare for WARRRRRR!!! STARWARSSSS 🎉❤

I hope we get a second season of Ahsoka before Filoni’s SW movie after this cliffhanger ending. I also think it is indeed Abeloth calling out to Baylan now, after seeing the statues of the Mortis gods
Not sure if they provided a cannon reason for the New Republic to move their capital off Coruscant, but something occurred to me. What if something happens over the unfolding storyline involving Thrawn that seems him attack the world? He did in the original novels using an innovative tactic to take the planet out of the war with minimal actual combat. It could be interesting and make some great stakes to see him attacking there as this new story line unfolds. I doubt it would be destroyed but it would make a good reason to explain the moved capital later on in the... rather lacking sequel trilogy.
So rumor has it that Baylan is being called to by Abeloth which in legends was practically a force god of chaos and destruction, which it took the combine power of Luke Skywalker and Darth krayt to defeat her but from rumors and other info of her Canon version which she technically exists in both legends and Canon her Canon version is said to be once the mortal step mother of the son and daughter and that she didn't want to lose her family so she did some forbidden things which corrupted her so the father locked her away and it is believed that, that is who is calling to Baylan, Abeloth, the mother of stars, the bringer of chaos, the immortal god of darkness.
I didn't like how Sabine suddenly force sensitive and do that huge force push. After watching this episode another 2 times. I think I'm starting to be okaaay with it. Compared her to Rey who was just OP for no reason. Sabine did have better reason for being force sensitive. RIP to Ahsoka shoto saber. She can probably build another if she picked up her crystal at the end of that fight. Even though questions weren't answered, I'm excited for what's to come. This season was definitely just to set the the chess pieces in place. So much lore coming.
I was confused cause in the og triology Luke struggled to lift a middle sized rock while standing upside down on his hand. Sabine was just able to lift a lightsaber (at first, which I think was fine) but then suddenly force-pushed stronger than Ezra ever did in the entire show so far, even though her force potential is far lower than Luke and Ezras.
@@novamatter3432no they aren’t Sabine always had potential with it she was mentally blocked and struggling kanan mentioned this in rebels and when she was finally pressured and pushed she broke through that wall she is probably as powerful as Ezra not like Rey and she will continue to get trained from ahsoka and the robot guy forgot his name at least Sabine was trained for a long while before anything really happened unlike with Rey where she could automatically do it.
@@novamatter3432 yeah honestly all the signs were there in rebels kanan obviously sensed something in Sabine that no other jedi could otherwise he wouldn’t have said anything about. Her also wielding the dark saber very well. Also she could hear voices that no one else could hear. Sabine always had the force in her she was just struggling with the mental and emotional side. Also with the dark saber despite being a symbol she could wield it better then any other mandalorian who had it which is a hint since the last time it was wielded that well was the Jedi mandalorian who created it a hint. Honestly I’m happy she can wield the force and has trained properly and has an actual master she will only get better thanks to ahsoka and hyujang with anakin watching over them.
Ahsoka will get a season 2 ,, after We get a Mandalorian season 4 Everything's already written ..recast Baylan with Gerard Butler from the 300 he would fit the part.. But yeah this episode I gave an 8.8 the whole season as a whole solid 9 out of 10...
Really starting to appreciate these reactions more. So many channels feel the need to add a stupid joke between every line of dialog, with a close up of the reactor. This feels like a sincere reaction.
I think Ezra did take off the Stormtrooper uniform and put it on before getting off the transport to make an Ezra entrance. In addition, one Sabine used the force she followed the rule, do or do not.
To be fair to Sabine she missed her mark. Ezra barely made it on to the ship. Kanon or Ahsoka would have ensured he landed on the platform. What that was, was saying listening to Ahsoka. She said believe in the force. So she teusted in the force to do what we needed and she managed to push him just enough to get him across. Also note that she didn't say push me and I'll pull you off he has pushed her she would definitely have made if but then she's have to pull him from even further away a more difficult task. So even then she's not acting like she's a master
I think , after taking a moment to reflect , that Ahsoka season 1 ended almost EXACTLY in a perfect way...with Ray Stevenson given a proper sendoff ( leaving us wanting more of both him and Balin Skoll ) but you can't deny his impact ( both Stevenson and Skoll ) on the season...FIloni could not have foreseen his tragic death and rather doing a pivot ( like Wakanda Forever ) he chose to let us see and experience Ray's brilliance portraying Skoll as if he was still with us...Filoni has time to think about where Skoll goes from here...recast or animation continuation...I too wish Zeb would have made an appearance in the show but still doesn't take away from the overall success os the show...moving forward I see Thrawn becoming the focal point of Star Wars currently...the witches will likely turn on him ...The purrgils will likely help Ahsoka , Sabine , and Huyang get back to the other galaxy because it's obviously a 2-way hyperspace highway...Ezra will train Jacen...and the Filoni movie will come out before Ahsoka 2nd season but after The Mandalorian season 4...May The Force be with You !
Senator Xiono is going to eat his words when he sees the young man he believed to have died is actually *alive and well* with his own two eyes 😉😏, and hears _what_ he has to say 🤔.
This finale left me feeling satisfied & full. Yes, I still have nit-picky complaints about the show overall, but I loved this finale & get many goosebumps! I never expected them to wrap many things up in this finale, not just because we know a movie is coming but also that seems par for the course for all these Disney+ shows to leave a lot of things undealt with except the biggest main thread of all of them with all the other suplots left dangling. I will say, personally, I think Hera was underused, in my opinion. I wanted to see her working more closely with Ahsoka and Sabine and see her get in on a lot of the action too with her blasters. Also, I would've loved to have seen Hera run to Ezra and hug him tightly. But, for some reason, the only time big emotions were shown was when Ahsoka hugged Ezra, but even that did not feel like the reunion I thought it should've been. Oh well. I like to think that as soon as Sabine tapped into The Force the first time, even if it was a small crack, that is all she needed to know how to access more of it. It like seeing a red dot on a shirt in that nobody can see what you see and how you never could see it before, but as soon as you see it the first time, that is all you can ever seem to see every time afterward. I do think the zombie troopers just standing in a circle watching Ahsoka and Morgan fight was a bit too convenient. It would've been more awesome to see Ahsoka fight Morgan and still fend off the troopers blasters at the same time. That could've been even better than the Season 7 Clone Wars finale fight.
So Ahsoka would not continue training Sabine for fear she would turn to the dark side. And she would not train Grogu for fear he would turn to the dark side.
There should be no reason for Ezra not to team up with Luke in the next season/movie. Ahsoka met with Luke so now it is time for Ezra to meet up with him too in the fight against Thrawn. So I look forward to seeing *Luke Skywalker* in the next season/movie...you hear that, Filoni!?
You mention at the beginning of your video, that you hope to see a zombie army or zombie stormtroopers. We did. But I have been thinking. As I watch all of these reaction videos, and rewatch the zombie stormtroopers over and over again, there is a weakness inherent in zombie stormtroopers. They can't bite. Their moths are covered. It is almost the exact way a person would nerf a zombie, if they could. When we think about zombies and what makes them so unstoppable, it isn't that they are living dead. Sure, being hard to rekill is a big part of it. But, it's actually the ease in which they spread the zombie contagion that is the problem. These stormtrooper zombies don't have that. And so, will be just a gimmick. Never truly encompassing the actual zombie experience. And sure, that is okay. I don't think they were ever meant to be much more than a minor story element. It is something to think about though, or imagine. What if zombies, actual zombies were a thing in a universe like Star Wars? Would they simply take over an individual planet? Could they maybe find a way onto a star ship, thereby spreading? In that regards it would remind me of Alien, where they can spread from planet to planet in that manner. Anyways, just something fun to think about. Good review as always.
love the episode aswell as your reaction to it, do wonder if season 2 gonna be animated or not, eitherway i dont mind, and have to agree with Justin, that an Rebel reunion would have been awesome, cant wait for Loki on friday, have fun and stay strong
Why did Thrawn not connect his ship to the ring before or during the cargo transfer, because of that descision Ezra now had the time to come and on board and now is back home? If Thrawn would have done that sooner all of Ahsoka's team would have been stranded on Peridia and Morgan and his troopers would have lived too.
Yeah, it's weird how characters make choices which actually advance the narrative, instead of leading it to an easy resolution. But seriously, leaving the jump ring in orbit allowed it to act as an orbital defense platform, and there might have been limitations on how long it could spent in a planet's atmosphere. Jedi always seemed to leave their rings in space before proceeding to a planet's surface.
@@AndrewMcColl That's what I thought about too. I just wished we would have gotten an explanation like that in the episode. Also, normal hyperspace rings don't fly down and connect with the ships in atmosphere. I expected Thrawn with his star destroyer to fly into the ring from where it was at above the planet in space, like the jedi did with their starfighters.
Really enjoyed this Series. I can’t say that there was an episode I didn’t enjoy and every episode had me anticipating what would happen next. This series is right up there with The Mandalorian Seasons 1 & 2 and the second half of Andor Season 1 ( the first half was slow and boring). I don’t know where this may go but I can see this getting a Season 2 or perhaps this’ll be resolved in The Mandalorian Season 4?
This was a great episode - but that is the problem it was a great episode but not a great season finale , I found it kind of underwhelming which is a real shame as the last 3 or 4 episodes were really fantastic maybe it has something to do with the fact that Baylen and Shin were in just one very short scene which did not really explain anything , obviously there will be a season 2 and they will have to recast Baylen ( Which for whoever gets the role has some very big shoes to fill ) Ray and Ivonna were amazing together and along with Lars Mikkelsen's Thrawn have to be the series highlight for me , love Thrawn and his whole calm and collected demeanour I find that way more menacing than someone ranting and raving great job Lars . Don't get me wrong the episode was good but could have been way better I guess I would call it serviceable and it was fun we kind of got a Game of Thrones Hardholme Vibe with the Zombie Troopers being revived very similar to the Night King bringing back the Wildlings on the jetty in Hardholme plus Morgan fighting with a flaming sword also game it a Thrones vibe . the fight scenes were done very well and the stunt work was great as always . I wonder if this Filoni movie happens that brings all the shows together how are they going to do Luke , Leia , Han and Lando or explain why they are not battling against Thrawn and the Imperial Remnant , putting a deaged Luke in a short scene is different to him being in a whole movie and how could these legendary characters not take part . So all in all a very great whole season with a rather disappointing finale the finale episode I would rank at a 7 and the season as a whole a 8 but saying that I would absolutely catch Season 2 when it happens so Ahsoka would rank 3rd after Top Tier Star Wars Andor followed by Mando ( Seasons 1 + 2 at least ) and Ahsoka 3rd .
Thanks Dave for not only making my feel like I was in middle earth but also in Narnia.
Sabine wasn't incapable of using the Force, she was blocking herself with all her unresolved trauma, guilt , etc. So once she began to resolve those things and felt like she had the trust of Ahsoka again that she was on the right path, she allowed herself to open up to and use the Force.

When erza is making that jump ... you can see shinns and baylons shuttle right there inside the star destroyer
Ezra stole Shin and Baylan's ship which was onboard the Eye of Scion. He used the Stormtrooper outfit to get clearance and then probably got out of Dodge the first opportunity he saw.
21:20 “Sorry” hahaha I get excited too. Amazing reaction ❤
Mandalore was not destroyed by turbo lasers, they purged the surface with fleets of tie bombers and massive thermo bombs.
Basically the named characters who were on Peridea and those who came swapped places at the end
Those two Death Troopers were already long-dead and turned into zombies 🧟♂️ before the other Night Troopers even died. _Literal_ Death Troopers 💀😰😱!
The thing that struck me, was that Sabine àctually connected with The Force, and it got me thinking about the repercussions of thàt. A Mandalorian..AND a Jedi. Talk about a 'Double Whammy' afa danger for her adversaries goes.. And something else: Ahsoka now has a 'magic saber" .. kinda like a vibro blade. Interesting possibilities for her fighting style ,I'd say. And, Yes. The appearance of the Moray immediately told me that things went as they should have. You can see Ahsoka suddenly realizing that she's exactly where she's supposed to be, and be at peace with it.
Well, they do need to deal with Baylan and Shin. And they'll either find their own way back when the time is right, or Ezra and Hera will mount a rescue mission
My theory for next play are:
- Ahsoka and Sabine spend some time improve Sabine's skills before going back to "main" galaxy
- Baylan (if his characters maintained) did something to "The Father, The Son and The Daughter" relics to ends rivalry between Jedi and Sith
- Shin joined Ahsoka for the cause of fighting witches in the "main" galaxy (she seemed uncomfortable around them)
- Ezra and Hera certainly must be busy preparing for "the parties" that held by Thrawn
RIP Morgan Elsbeth. She went out like a boss and added one more great fight to the many that were in this season. It seemed fitting she destroyed one of Ahsoka's lightsabers considering she was able to disarm her of one of them in their first fight.
Ezra stole Baylan’s ship at the end for those confused
Yes we Morai is in "the jedi" episode ... you can hear her and then see her in the tree watching Din Djarin and Grogu before Ahsoka pounces on Din lol ... I just rewatched the episode and was omg!!!
I hope we get to see Zeb return in live-action in Season 2. I want to see him reuniting with Ezra so much.
I recently got to meet Steve Blum at Rose City Comiccon. Naturally, all the Star Wars fans asked him what it was like when they asked him to voice Zeb in live-action in S3 of The Mandalorian and he told us that he was super thrilled when he got to come back. Of course, he was all quiet when people asked if he knew anything about the Ahsoka series. But we're hoping he comes back in live-action.
"The Jedi, The Witch and the Warlord"! - "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe"!
Oh Dustin and Wendy I'm so happy I got to see your reaction to all the episodes of Ahsoka Especially this final episode hopefully there's a season 2 in future !!! Dustin I love your reaction where you recognize a statue of father daughter and son and Wendy I love your reaction where Erza is back home And anakin as a ghost !!! I'll see you both at loki season 2💚
See you for Loki season 2 🥳
@@TheMovieCouple me to 🥰 !!! I just watched season one and watch Thor and 2 and Avengers and Thor Ragnarok I even got my own ahsoka poster you could see it on my picture right now behind me🧡🤍🤍
@@TheMovieCoupleThe best episode from the best Star Wars life action series, the best part is that everything I assumed in my theories happened. A great ending. May the force be with you and may you lead the force. ✋️
Oh you know we're getting a season 2. I have so many questions. 😄👍🏽
I love when you acknowledged Thrawn calling Ahsoka a ronan.
My 16 year old son is named Ronan ❤
I remember seeing the morai in 'The Jedi', but it wasn't as distinct as it was here. But hen it was being used as more of a teaser for those in the know.
My Daughter and I Loved this this sets up season 2 and the movie Heir to the Empire
21:17 My guess is, this place might be Mortis. If it is, then that means that Ahsoka had been there before with Anakin and Obi-Wan.
It's probably Abeloth calling to Baylan (Mother of Mortis).
5:27-5:56 The Blade of Talzin is definitely a TCW callback. It's the same sword that Mother Talzin used to duel Mace Windu in TCW Season 6.
6:08-6:20 This episode's title is a reference to the first book of the "Chronicles of Narnia" series.
6:20-7:54 As he was constructing his new lightsaber, I was wondering where Ezra got the kyber crystal for it, but I think it's probably the same one he used for his first lightsaber from "Rebels".
20:30-20:59 Technically, Morai's live-action debut was in "The Mandalorian" S2E5: "Chapter 13: The Jedi", but this episode gave us a proper full look of her even if it was at a distance.
21:06-21:28 Those are indeed statues of the Mortis Gods from TCW, but the one of the Daughter is destroyed while the ones of the Father and the Son are intact.
21:51-22:43 That Eta-class shuttle Ezra used to reunite with Hera, Chopper, and the New Republic forces belonged to Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. It was still parked on the Eye of Sion when traveling to and from the other galaxy.
I enjoyed this season finale as well as seeing you two react to it. However, I'm pretty mixed about Sabine finally using the Force. I really hope we get confirmation for "Ahsoka (TV series)" Season 2 soon.
OT : we are the children of the force.
What we saw in Clone Wars was a force manifestation of that planet, I assume. So the Father, the Daugther and the Son lived here. And Baylan wants to get to that core, to the beginning.
The boxes could be generations of witches, just waiting to be awoken (such as Thrawn did for the Great Mothers), to repopulate Dathomir. Maybe the price he paid for their help was transporting all of them to Dathomir for that purpose. He got home - and they get to reestablish Dathomir.
We saw live action Morai in The Mandalorian
it could be that the reason for showing little to nothing with Ray Stevenson in this last episode, which in itself was quite surprising, may be because they now need to use all the footage they made, at a later point in time to wrap it all up, so it will make sense without actually replacing Stevenson with another actor.
If i have my way, the ending would be:
There is struggle keeping Thrawn from leaving and eventually got away and went to hyperspace... our heroes was dissapointed similar to the MCU Infinity ending... Thrawn exits hyperspace and then on a distant galaxy unbeknownst to the Republic, the allies of Thrawn one by one are exiting hyperspace and entering in front of the Chimera of Thrawn... the once scattered empire forces are now pilling up to become a massive display of force... one of the general that arrived from hyperspace welcome Thrawn, saying "your excellency, Grand Admiral Thrawn, we are here waiting for your command"
Thrawn walking forward the window to gaze upon th armada and responded, "the empire shall once again take its place to bring order in this galaxy!"
The End! Empire soundtrack drumming up
Lets prepare for WARRRRRR!!! STARWARSSSS 🎉❤
Andor season 2 was initially already green lit from the beginning and Gilroy wrote season to setup season 2.
As a person who has little Interrest in Ezra in the Show and the quest to find him. I absolutely LOVE Ezra in Ahsoka. Brilliant.
awwwww hope Season 2 starts after spring 2024!!!! can't wait!! totally cliffhanger! EPIC SHOW!!
Loved it. We needed more baylon/shin and wolfwren😢❤ but at least shin and sabine are stranded together lol i hope she joins them if theres a szn 2
Lovely reaction as always. Can´t wait for the next season. Have a good 2.024!.
The best episode from the best Star Wars animated series, the best part is that everything I assumed in my theories happened. A great ending.

It seems that sabine got a awakening moment during the series at some point hmm..
So happy you guys got to react to the season finale of Ahsoka and I can't wait to see your reaction of Loki Season 2
I hope we get a second season of Ahsoka before Filoni’s SW movie after this cliffhanger ending.
I also think it is indeed Abeloth calling out to Baylan now, after seeing the statues of the Mortis gods
It was a fun show, gave Ahsoka quality. 💯
It was a fun series.
So happy to see Anakin as an actual Force ghost at the end, and not used previous footage like for Return of Jedi
Remember Baylens ship was on the Scion i think so makes sense Ezra would take that
Not sure if they provided a cannon reason for the New Republic to move their capital off Coruscant, but something occurred to me. What if something happens over the unfolding storyline involving Thrawn that seems him attack the world? He did in the original novels using an innovative tactic to take the planet out of the war with minimal actual combat. It could be interesting and make some great stakes to see him attacking there as this new story line unfolds. I doubt it would be destroyed but it would make a good reason to explain the moved capital later on in the... rather lacking sequel trilogy.
They did not just pull a Narnia reference for the episode title.
It's a good match to all the LotR imagery, considering how close Tolkien and Lewis were.
This is amazing star wars getting marvel vibes and thrawn bringing everyone together for we are jedi moment in endgame in this universe
So rumor has it that Baylan is being called to by Abeloth which in legends was practically a force god of chaos and destruction, which it took the combine power of Luke Skywalker and Darth krayt to defeat her but from rumors and other info of her Canon version which she technically exists in both legends and Canon her Canon version is said to be once the mortal step mother of the son and daughter and that she didn't want to lose her family so she did some forbidden things which corrupted her so the father locked her away and it is believed that, that is who is calling to Baylan, Abeloth, the mother of stars, the bringer of chaos, the immortal god of darkness.
I didn't like how Sabine suddenly force sensitive and do that huge force push.
After watching this episode another 2 times. I think I'm starting to be okaaay with it. Compared her to Rey who was just OP for no reason. Sabine did have better reason for being force sensitive.
RIP to Ahsoka shoto saber. She can probably build another if she picked up her crystal at the end of that fight.
Even though questions weren't answered, I'm excited for what's to come. This season was definitely just to set the the chess pieces in place. So much lore coming.
I didn’t have a problem with the Sabine force push because it wasn’t perfect, she almost overshot him. It will take time to master….
I was confused cause in the og triology Luke struggled to lift a middle sized rock while standing upside down on his hand. Sabine was just able to lift a lightsaber (at first, which I think was fine) but then suddenly force-pushed stronger than Ezra ever did in the entire show so far, even though her force potential is far lower than Luke and Ezras.
@@firecat4529 Probably doing something similar to what they did with Rey, maybe.
@@novamatter3432no they aren’t Sabine always had potential with it she was mentally blocked and struggling kanan mentioned this in rebels and when she was finally pressured and pushed she broke through that wall she is probably as powerful as Ezra not like Rey and she will continue to get trained from ahsoka and the robot guy forgot his name at least Sabine was trained for a long while before anything really happened unlike with Rey where she could automatically do it.
@@Mcherri Right, yeah I forgot about the Rebels stuff tbh.
@@novamatter3432 yeah honestly all the signs were there in rebels kanan obviously sensed something in Sabine that no other jedi could otherwise he wouldn’t have said anything about. Her also wielding the dark saber very well. Also she could hear voices that no one else could hear. Sabine always had the force in her she was just struggling with the mental and emotional side. Also with the dark saber despite being a symbol she could wield it better then any other mandalorian who had it which is a hint since the last time it was wielded that well was the Jedi mandalorian who created it a hint. Honestly I’m happy she can wield the force and has trained properly and has an actual master she will only get better thanks to ahsoka and hyujang with anakin watching over them.
Tbe owl is connected to the celestials of Mortis since it was belonged to the daughter.
Puts lukes question to ashoka will i see you again in context for me😢😢
Ls757 i think that is a deep rebels easter egg as well im sure Ezra has used that exact number before
Ahsoka will get a season 2 ,, after We get a Mandalorian season 4 Everything's already written ..recast Baylan with Gerard Butler from the 300 he would fit the part.. But yeah this episode I gave an 8.8 the whole season as a whole solid 9 out of 10...
Really starting to appreciate these reactions more. So many channels feel the need to add a stupid joke between every line of dialog, with a close up of the reactor.
This feels like a sincere reaction.
I think Ezra did take off the Stormtrooper uniform and put it on before getting off the transport to make an Ezra entrance. In addition, one Sabine used the force she followed the rule, do or do not.
Im so happy Hayden Christensen is getting the sucess he deserves to Anakin. Look his face. A mixed os sadness and proud of his Padawan.
Morgan Elsbeth got to be a Witcher before she died! 👏
To be fair to Sabine she missed her mark. Ezra barely made it on to the ship. Kanon or Ahsoka would have ensured he landed on the platform. What that was, was saying listening to Ahsoka. She said believe in the force. So she teusted in the force to do what we needed and she managed to push him just enough to get him across. Also note that she didn't say push me and I'll pull you off he has pushed her she would definitely have made if but then she's have to pull him from even further away a more difficult task. So even then she's not acting like she's a master
I'm calling it now... it's his Pokemon Collection.
so many thoughts..
Huyang calling Kanan Caleb at first...And I guess Baylen is the father and Shin is the son?
I’ll be shocked if we don’t get a Season 2. This was an amazing season. I loved seeing you guys’ reaction!!!
(Citation means award/commemdation)
I think , after taking a moment to reflect , that Ahsoka season 1 ended almost EXACTLY in a perfect way...with Ray Stevenson given a proper sendoff ( leaving us wanting more of both him and Balin Skoll ) but you can't deny his impact ( both Stevenson and Skoll ) on the season...FIloni could not have foreseen his tragic death and rather doing a pivot ( like Wakanda Forever ) he chose to let us see and experience Ray's brilliance portraying Skoll as if he was still with us...Filoni has time to think about where Skoll goes from here...recast or animation continuation...I too wish Zeb would have made an appearance in the show but still doesn't take away from the overall success os the show...moving forward I see Thrawn becoming the focal point of Star Wars currently...the witches will likely turn on him ...The purrgils will likely help Ahsoka , Sabine , and Huyang get back to the other galaxy because it's obviously a 2-way hyperspace highway...Ezra will train Jacen...and the Filoni movie will come out before Ahsoka 2nd season but after The Mandalorian season 4...May The Force be with You !
Senator Xiono is going to eat his words when he sees the young man he believed to have died is actually *alive and well* with his own two eyes 😉😏, and hears _what_ he has to say 🤔.
great reaction.....what a great series
omg your pfp 🥹 King Sweaty Schnepp!
This finale left me feeling satisfied & full. Yes, I still have nit-picky complaints about the show overall, but I loved this finale & get many goosebumps! I never expected them to wrap many things up in this finale, not just because we know a movie is coming but also that seems par for the course for all these Disney+ shows to leave a lot of things undealt with except the biggest main thread of all of them with all the other suplots left dangling. I will say, personally, I think Hera was underused, in my opinion. I wanted to see her working more closely with Ahsoka and Sabine and see her get in on a lot of the action too with her blasters. Also, I would've loved to have seen Hera run to Ezra and hug him tightly. But, for some reason, the only time big emotions were shown was when Ahsoka hugged Ezra, but even that did not feel like the reunion I thought it should've been. Oh well. I like to think that as soon as Sabine tapped into The Force the first time, even if it was a small crack, that is all she needed to know how to access more of it. It like seeing a red dot on a shirt in that nobody can see what you see and how you never could see it before, but as soon as you see it the first time, that is all you can ever seem to see every time afterward. I do think the zombie troopers just standing in a circle watching Ahsoka and Morgan fight was a bit too convenient. It would've been more awesome to see Ahsoka fight Morgan and still fend off the troopers blasters at the same time. That could've been even better than the Season 7 Clone Wars finale fight.
So Ahsoka would not continue training Sabine for fear she would turn to the dark side. And she would not train Grogu for fear he would turn to the dark side.
you guys should wath Narnia : THe Lion, The With and The Wardrobe, the title reference is from there
There should be no reason for Ezra not to team up with Luke in the next season/movie. Ahsoka met with Luke so now it is time for Ezra to meet up with him too in the fight against Thrawn. So I look forward to seeing *Luke Skywalker* in the next season/movie...you hear that, Filoni!?
You mention at the beginning of your video, that you hope to see a zombie army or zombie stormtroopers. We did. But I have been thinking. As I watch all of these reaction videos, and rewatch the zombie stormtroopers over and over again, there is a weakness inherent in zombie stormtroopers. They can't bite. Their moths are covered. It is almost the exact way a person would nerf a zombie, if they could. When we think about zombies and what makes them so unstoppable, it isn't that they are living dead. Sure, being hard to rekill is a big part of it. But, it's actually the ease in which they spread the zombie contagion that is the problem. These stormtrooper zombies don't have that. And so, will be just a gimmick. Never truly encompassing the actual zombie experience.
And sure, that is okay. I don't think they were ever meant to be much more than a minor story element. It is something to think about though, or imagine. What if zombies, actual zombies were a thing in a universe like Star Wars? Would they simply take over an individual planet? Could they maybe find a way onto a star ship, thereby spreading? In that regards it would remind me of Alien, where they can spread from planet to planet in that manner.
Anyways, just something fun to think about. Good review as always.
Is Baylen searching for the exiled Mother?
Love your shirt dude
I didn't have more questions, I had many more answers.
actually I heard there is going to be a second season, maybe the finale of season 2 will be set up for the movie.
If they re cast Baylan, i would suggest George Clooney would be the replacement 😊
Still no Zeb😢
love the episode aswell as your reaction to it, do wonder if season 2 gonna be animated or not, eitherway i dont mind, and have to agree with Justin, that an Rebel reunion would have been awesome, cant wait for Loki on friday, have fun and stay strong
I want 10 eps for the next season
And Filoni in an interview already said he had season 2 written….
Ashoka can make new light Saber
Why did Thrawn not connect his ship to the ring before or during the cargo transfer, because of that descision Ezra now had the time to come and on board and now is back home? If Thrawn would have done that sooner all of Ahsoka's team would have been stranded on Peridia and Morgan and his troopers would have lived too.
Yeah, it's weird how characters make choices which actually advance the narrative, instead of leading it to an easy resolution.
But seriously, leaving the jump ring in orbit allowed it to act as an orbital defense platform, and there might have been limitations on how long it could spent in a planet's atmosphere. Jedi always seemed to leave their rings in space before proceeding to a planet's surface.
@@AndrewMcColl That's what I thought about too. I just wished we would have gotten an explanation like that in the episode. Also, normal hyperspace rings don't fly down and connect with the ships in atmosphere. I expected Thrawn with his star destroyer to fly into the ring from where it was at above the planet in space, like the jedi did with their starfighters.
I was thinking maybe Gerard Butler could play Baylan?
Would Sean Bean be too old?
Darth Vader is still in anikan evil doesn’t die it changes shape
Really enjoyed this Series. I can’t say that there was an episode I didn’t enjoy and every episode had me anticipating what would happen next. This series is right up there with The Mandalorian Seasons 1 & 2 and the second half of Andor Season 1 ( the first half was slow and boring).
I don’t know where this may go but I can see this getting a Season 2 or perhaps this’ll be resolved in The Mandalorian Season 4?
Didn’t Game of Thrones have a flaming sword also?
Yes :)
This was a great episode - but that is the problem it was a great episode but not a great season finale , I found it kind of underwhelming which is a real shame as the last 3 or 4 episodes were really fantastic maybe it has something to do with the fact that Baylen and Shin were in just one very short scene which did not really explain anything , obviously there will be a season 2 and they will have to recast Baylen ( Which for whoever gets the role has some very big shoes to fill ) Ray and Ivonna were amazing together and along with Lars Mikkelsen's Thrawn have to be the series highlight for me , love Thrawn and his whole calm and collected demeanour I find that way more menacing than someone ranting and raving great job Lars .
Don't get me wrong the episode was good but could have been way better I guess I would call it serviceable and it was fun we kind of got a Game of Thrones Hardholme Vibe with the Zombie Troopers being revived very similar to the Night King bringing back the Wildlings on the jetty in Hardholme plus Morgan fighting with a flaming sword also game it a Thrones vibe . the fight scenes were done very well and the stunt work was great as always .
I wonder if this Filoni movie happens that brings all the shows together how are they going to do Luke , Leia , Han and Lando or explain why they are not battling against Thrawn and the Imperial Remnant , putting a deaged Luke in a short scene is different to him being in a whole movie and how could these legendary characters not take part .
So all in all a very great whole season with a rather disappointing finale the finale episode I would rank at a 7 and the season as a whole a 8 but saying that I would absolutely catch Season 2 when it happens so Ahsoka would rank 3rd after Top Tier Star Wars Andor followed by Mando ( Seasons 1 + 2 at least ) and Ahsoka 3rd .
