    I like to think Galactic History Parts 1, 2, and 3 is an injoke referencing the prequel, original, and sequel trilogies. So of course Ahsoka would say part 1 is the best.

      Nice thought, though the sequel trilogies technically have not occurred yet, so would not be history to Ahsoka. Unless Ahsoka has access to Spaceball technology and can get the video cassette before the future history has played out.

      The Three Fates bit is intentional: The credits name the Great Mothers as Aktropaw, Klothow, and Lakesis, a reference to Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis, the Three Fates in Greek mythology.

    • @Dilligff
      @Dilligff 8 місяців тому +2

      I think the Great Mothers are, in fact, the same Greek Fates. My theory is that Feloni and Favreau are planting a small anchor point in the SW universe for potential multiversal crossovers. Marvel has already established that gods and deities exist as advanced alien species from other worlds. This would cast a thread from a different direction.

Corey Burton voicing Dooku in TCW and other Star Wars media outside of the movies is understandable, and his Dooku voice sounds similar to the original, but casting someone else to voice Baylan? Again, massive shoes to fill since Ray was just dominating the role here, and this was his last one ever.

    High five on being the first person to call out the use of kintsugi on the troopers. Especially with them being called "Night Troopers" it's almost certain that it's not just their armor that was repaired, but their bodies as well with the Nightsister magick like we saw with Marrok earlier.
    Also, Baylon having an orange blade for his saber as well as using Qui-Gon's fighting stance against Ahsoka really makes him a dark reflection of those philosophies.

    I get the sense from the final scene that Thrawn is highly uncomfortable with his dependence on the Nightsisters and the entire point of letting Sabine go is getting rid of her, Ezra, Baylon and Shin so there are no other unknown quantities/force users around to complicate matters.
    Also I can't wait for Timothy Zahn (who else) to write at least one novel about Thrawn's exile. From the alliance with the witches, the barely defined Marauders to the cult-like stormtroopers there's a lot of potential for a very different Thrawn story.

He then promoted a failed crewman who had done nothing wrong according to conventional wisdom to provide the carrot and the stick for his crew. He understands the mentality and won't waste those under him (his argument against the death star was that it was inefficient rather than moral objection) but he doesn't actually care for them and will absolutely send units of stormtroopers against master jedi just to see what they will do. His crew may be fanatical enough to die for him but he's not the sort to take the standard rebels approach where the leaders fight with those under them because he is more critical to the empire's success than any of the troops under him and it could cost him. He places too much value in himself to ever risk a self-sacrificial play so his opponent doesn't need to win, playing for a draw where they both die is a win (this is what Sherlock Holmes uses to beat overwhelming odds in his movie and what was used against Thrawn previously in Rebels.)

    I’ve always like the theory that MC’s are like algae. They are not the force, they are drawn to the force, like the way sunnier days make algae bloom, algae’s don’t generate sunlight. So your MC count is higher the stronger you are with the force, not that you are strong because of the MC’s

    I love how Thrawn went to the Night Sisters and ask them to resurrect all of the dead stormtroopers on his ship to become his Night Troopers Army (Zombie Stormtroopers). Thrawn did ask the Night Sisters at the end of the episode for help by using their Dark Magic once again also the Night Troopers armor are very heavily battle damage and being held together by what looks like red fabric.

    Qui Gon says to Anakin, concerning the midichlorians: "If you learn to quiet your mind, you will hear them speak to you!". I would say, if you have fewer M's, you need to train harder to make your mind even quieter but you can still learn to hear them. So, it has always been a combination of talent, training and spirituality.

    For this episode Dave and team just decided to write down a list of their favorite series’ and absolutely nail the vibe of each one?! Lord of the Rings, Game Of Thrones, Dune, Shakespeare, The Bible too I guess?.. And they made it Star Wars. Such a good episode! I’m too young to remember a pre cannon Star Wars, so I don’t have the same feeling of nostalgia here, but based on how I felt when Ahsoka was first reintroduced into live action, I’d say they did an amazing job with Thrawn, and I’m so happy for fans to finally get to see him come to life!

    I think Ezra is going to be upset with Sabine. She pretty much erased everything Erza did to get Thrawn away. Now Thrawn has the ability to return and cause havoc. I think Ezra would have rather stayed stranded rather than Thrawn having the ability to return.

    • @Heavensrun
      @Heavensrun 9 місяців тому +5

      She didn't erase everything he did. Lothal is safe, and without Thrawn, the Empire was defeated. Even if Thrawn comes back, he's coming back to a very different galaxy.
      I think Ezra will understand once he has the full picture.

    I think it's easy to find out why he hasn't taken the star whales back. He has no ship, he has no weapons. He can't assault a ISD lead by Thrawn of all people with nothing but a prayer. He'd be a dead man no question. It's a miracle that he's still alive after this time with Thrawn of all people hunting him.

    • @FloridaKeysPirate
      @FloridaKeysPirate 8 місяців тому

      Maybe that planet is a one-way trip for the whales. They mentioned that they go there to die. So without a ship that can jump , you’d be stuck in that galaxy. I’m guessing Thrawn’s hyperdrive is damaged , like the rest of his ship. That’s why he had to wait for Morgan to deliver the hyperspace transport ring ordered for him by the NightSisters , thru Amazon.

    • @GenSphinx
      @GenSphinx 8 місяців тому +1

      @@FloridaKeysPirate I'd doubt the Chimera's hyperdrive is damaged, although it's possible. I think it has to do with them not having coordinates to jump back too and regular hyperdrives in star wars not being able to make journey. Remember when ever you plot directions to anywhere even in real life you need a point of origin.
