Dave Filoni made an amazing repair here in Ahsoka. From the original Star Wars movie until the Prequel Trilogy, fans understood that anyone had the potential to become Jedi. All it took was training. Everything change with "The Phantom Menace" in which midichlorians were introduced along with the knowledge that none could be a Force wielder without them. This upset a great many fans, especially those of that first generation of kids who grew up fantasizing that they, too, might become Jedi. Here Dave restores balance to the Force by noting that all life in Star Wars has midichlorians, just in different measure, and that one even as far down the scale as Sabine might one day stand a chance to wield the Force with enough dedicated effort and some talent.
Sabine’s casting is one I’m seriously impressed with, not to mention that the actress is Australian and watched all of Rebels just to perfect her role. As an Australian myself and a Rebels fan I’m so happy to see Natasha playing one of our heroes from the Ghost Ship
Yes, star systems are all contained within a single galaxy. For perspective, the nearest dwarf galaxy (which orbits the Milky Way) is Canis Major, and it's approximately 25,000 light years away. The nearest major galaxy like our own, is the Andromeda galaxy at approximately 2.3 million light years away. Even in Star Trek nearly everything took place within only a segment of the Milky Way with only a few instances of travelling beyond it and those were usually extraordinary events and even at the fastest theoretical warp they could travel at, it'd still take nearly 3,000 years to reach the Andromeda galaxy.
"Your eyes can deceive you, don't trust them." - Obi-Wan Kenobi (to Luke, aboard the Millennium Falcon) Episode IV Also, something else, Tara.... there is a common thread running all throughout Star Wars, and it basically boils down to a line first spoken by Obi-Wan Kenobi in Return of the Jedi: "You're going to find that many of the truths we cling to depend greatly on our own point of view." which was slightly expanded upon in Episode III by Palpatine, "Good is a point of view", as well as something Qui-Gon Jinn said in Episode I, "Your focus determines your reality." And, to toss in a "real world" way of putting it.... "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter". Always keep that line of thinking in your head while watching Star Wars. Any references to it may be quite obvious, or REALLY subtle. But it is a thread that can be found in many places throughout the movies and shows (both animated and live action). 2:00 - Remember, Tara.... it's ALWAYS easier to get forgiveness than permission. 3:05 - My ONLY criticism with Jacen is that his hair isn't as "loud" of a green shade that it was in animated form. It's still green, but not as bright as it was animated. 3:25 - Before anyone gives you any static for your opinions.... even back in 1977, George Lucas pretty much said that ALL living things were connected to The Force. There are some factors in how some people are able to USE The Force.......... but EVERYONE has SOME level of potential. 5:55 - Think back to the Prequels, Tara... Obi-Wan often used a "Hyperspace Ring" to take his Jedi starfighter from system to system. This is basically the same thing... just bigger. 8:25 - Tara, I'm not sure if you're aware of this piece of canon or not, but it was the Purgill and their ability to traverse hyperspace that originally allowed/prompted the various species to start mapping routes from one star system to another, originally. IIRC, it was mentioned in various stories prior to this series, I'm just not sure if it was in books, comics, or shows.
In amongst the big, cool stuff like lightsaber vs fighter space combat (an "Anakin's Padawan" move if ever I saw one :), one of the little moments I really love in this ep. is when Ahsoka sees the Purgil. Rosario Dawson has been playing her with a slightly flat affect (here and in Mando S2) to show the burden of what happened with Anakin but when she sees the space whales she smiles with a kind of simple joy and for a second the weight of the world falls from her shoulders and we see the younger, more carefree Ahsoka peek through. Beautifully pitched performance IMO.
@@thatnerdtaraHey. It's Me again. I have a video suggestion to make related to Thrawn: "Thrawn: a COMPLETE Life Story (Canon) Part 1" by the channel:"MetaNerdz Lore".
Tara , are you watching the end credits? i like the music in the end credits, and also there is some constellations you will like in the end credits...
@@thatnerdtara i like the music especially when it gets to the very end past the star whales, did you see the whales in the stars and do you like the music as it gets to the end?
I find it ironic that on this show a massive ring-shaped ship that can travel between Galaxies is key to Thrawn's return because in the original Thrawn books there was a similarly shaped vessel, Outbound Flight, that was a Jedi-led expedition to travel to other Galaxies only for Thrawn to destroy that ship after Thrawn failed to convince the Jedi to turn back/ not accidentally disturb a hostile race (the Yuuzhan Vong) that threatened Thrawn's people and the Galaxy
I think that's because Grogu's love and attachment is with Mando, and if he were to train as a Jedi he would be on a completely different path where they would rarely be together. I think it's different with Sabine because she's surrounded by Jedi, and if they were to rescue Ezra she'd have even more of a reason to keep up with her training. But I see what you mean - Ahsoka is a bit more lenient on Sabine. Maybe because of their history? It's definitely a valid question.
I wonder if it's a timing thing. Sabine lost her family and she had her falling out with Ahsoka possibly right before Mando finds her on Corvus. So it would make sense that Ahsoka is dealing with that sense of failure as well. I could be way off too lol.
@@thatnerdtaraI hope You read my little essays I wrote so far in the previous two episodes! Did You also remember to check out my video suggestion called: "How Powerfull were Imperial Moffs: Star Wars Lore" by the channel "The Lore Guy"?
if the star systems (Or Worlds, as they call the planets) in the Star Wars galaxy are cities, the galaxy can be likened to our planet. everything we have seen up until this point has been part of the same place. to travel to another Galaxy would be like for us in the real world to try to travel to another planet. It's immensly farther away than anyone has ever traveled. or did I missread your confusion about the locations? Hope this helped.
The huge leap you have to take in sci/fantasy like Star Wars is the impossibility of the space travel they are doing. Stars in which there are star systems are light years apart. For example the closest star to our sun is Proxima Centauri a little over 4 light years away. In one galaxy there are billions of stars. Ours for example has between 100 to 400 billion stars. Its such a wide gap because we cannot accurately count them. Also when we see a star it has taken its light so long to get to us it might be dead already. Then there is the distance between galaxies. Andromeada Galaxy is 2.5 million light years away. So yeah we have to really lean on the fantasy in Star Wars to accept travel distance and time. Going to another galaxy? Sure we just need big engines or a space whale. Fantasy is fun.
I mean, personally i'd say the huge leap with Star Wars is more the "space wizards" :). (but yeah, SF&F has used "hyperspace" to hand-wave away the vast scales for decades)
@@-Devy- During Empire Strikes Back filming Lucas' SFX team said Tie Bombers don't make sense because bombs do not fall in space. Lucas famously said back "This is fantasy give me bombers." The awesomeness of space in general when met with real world facts is a great contrast to what we do in fiction. We have fun with it. Another fact for you is that it take about 8 and a half minutes for light from the surface of the sun to reach earth. That same photon of like take millions of years to travel from the center of the sun to the surface of the sun.
@@inhale1 There is a meme around with Star Destroyers warping into the skyline of New York City and the caption is "What would you do if you saw this?" I said in a post "Nothing, the law of motion says things in motion want to stay in motion. The bulkheads should be splattered with people and all the equipment is ruined." They hated that. Was told what about inertia dampeners. This isn't Star Trek and you can't just dampen inertia but who lets science get in the way.
I cannot express how much I am waitig for the next two episodes. ^^
Loving your reactions to Ahsoka. Some people criticised the casting and character work but I'm so happy that you can see how good it is.
4:20 follow the lineage. From master Yoda to Dooku to Qui-Gon to Obi-Wan to Anakin to Ahsoka to Sabine. That's quite the pedigree of masters and padawans
You forgot Anakin.

The guy next to mon mothma talkn spicy to Hera has a son who is the main character in Star Wars Resistance.
I wonder why Ahsoka said in S2 of The Mandalorian that Grogu couldn't be trained then, if she's willing to train Sabine.
I think that's because Grogu's love and attachment is with Mando, and if he were to train as a Jedi he would be on a completely different path where they would rarely be together.
