      @@andrewprice8940 Wth are you talking about, it's a little easter egg in a show literally opposite to that idea, Filoni is starting anew in a new galaxy, telling original stories with his n ow much older originals characters. Nearly every character inn this show is the creation of Filoni, same for some of the tech, this new planet, these whales, and the first time Thrawn is on-screen and given a live action story. I think your reply only applies to the sequels, because everything else is original, even stuff like Rogue One and the spin off shows. Yes they use already established and worn out characters, but they're filling in the massive gaps of time between the films. If that's not what you're talking about, then idk lol. Anything involving FIloni is original.

      @snerdterguson 8 місяців тому

      I would love for there to be a tease of the Vong. Something to set up what is coming to the galaxy in 50 years or so. Just a shot of one of their ships hidden behind a moon when the Chimera jumps out of the galaxy.
      It was an interstellar flight from the main galaxy (outbound flight) that alerted the Vong to their presence. And it was decades and decades before they began their full invasion.
      Doing this allows them to have other run ins. Because there was the Praetorite Vong who had infiltrated some planets on the outer outer rim long before the full on invasion happened.
      Even if it isn't for a movie, I've always thought the NJO series would have made a great series. Live action or animated. And certainly aspects of it could be altered to fit the main canon.

      This is one of my favorite things about Blind Wave. Especially their overall positivity with all Star Wars content. I almost didn't watch Rebels because of how much everyone was hating on it. It was thanks to Blind Wave that I watched the show with an open mind, and ended up LOVING it! (Not to excuse a show/movie that might be terribly written, but sometimes what makes a show great, is overshadowed by minor flaws. Rebels was for a younger audience and the animation was odd at times, but beneath it was SO much lore, found-family dynamics, and lovable characters). Rebels is still one of my favorites to this day.

    I love how Thrawns army has parrallels to the eastern roman empire. They kept on going while the Western Roman Empire fell. Also the damaged Armor is repaired with Golden seems like in the Japanese style called kintsugi to reflect how the empire is fractured but not broken. Also did anyone notice how the captions call Thrawns troops "Night Troopers" which could mean they're all resurrected by nigh sister magic.

    • @Killerkwoi13
      @Killerkwoi13 8 місяців тому +6

      I think the stormtroopers with taped up armour are alive, because Thrawn later says they can’t risk sending more than 2 squads to deal with Ezra since their numbers have dwindled badly over the years, why would he care about numbers if the troopers are all dead anyway? I suspect the coffins in the catacombs that they’re loading back onto the ship are dead stormtroopers they’re planning to resurrect.

      didn't think of the Eastern Roman Empire but ur right in the chaos of the complete collapse of the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire crawled out of the dust and debris, but especially they looked like this damaged, near-dead army in the final years of complete devastation and the Fall of Constantinople, when everything was pretty much doomed and they kept just fighting. Tbf it does recall myth and legend of some expeditionary force trapped in this unknown frontier, in this distant foreign wasteland, a bit of Odyssey in it.

    I love that the first extra-galactic planet we have ever been to is shot in such an alien way. Like the whole Peridea intro sequence comes straight out of a Villeneuve movie. The Great Mothers gave me major Bene Gesserit vibes. Thrawn's entrance is like the Emperor's entrance. Even the landscape shots evoke an eerie vibe throughout. The music is also different. Kevin Kiner channeling his Vangelis/Hans Zimmer for the score. Ohh every episode of this show becomes my favourite every release.
    Also live action Thrawn and Ezra are perfect. Ezra more so, since we know Lars Mikkelsen is reprising. He looks and sounds exactly like an older Ezra while keeping that early Rebels charm. 10/10 casting for Ezra.

A VERY cool niche reference, and seems to be lining up with what Skoll is saying throughout the episode when he's talking about his goals of ending the cycle by claiming a great power and such... They're the two most interesting characters in series for me as much as obviously others are super cool and I'd like to know more. Something about Baylan and Shin is SO compelling.

Which I do kinda like more than them being mindless undead drones.

      Kinda reminds me of Captain Torres from Ace Combat 7. He was leading an experimental submarine when it sank to the bottom and got stuck there for two years, but, thanks to his leadership, 330 of the 356-strong crew survived. The survivors essentially worshipped Torres, and some of them even left the crew to become secret agents for him, sabotaging his enemies around the world.
      I imagine that a similar thing probably happened here. Thrawn is smart, efficient, and the survivors' only ticket home, so, intentionally or not, a cult formed around him.

    I think the Chimaera is essentially taking the place of “Naglfar” in the story of Ragnarok, and Thrawn is being used as the stand-in for Loki who brings his ship of the dead filled with monsters to battle the gods. So it seems pretty clear that the Night Troopers are going to effectively be “wights”, and who knows what other corpses they’re raising from the catacombs. Baylan said it was a graveyard, but maybe it’s not just a place for the whales to die. Maybe the whales have been taking all sorts of unsavory types to exile and death on this planet. I think the “Naglfar” aspect is key, though. The Chimaera is now the “Ship of the Dead”, and the Nightsisters may as well be Whitewalkers.

    • @Exquisite_Cadaver
      @Exquisite_Cadaver 8 місяців тому +1

      My theory about the Night Troopers is that Thrawn has been having them fight to the death over and over again to hone their skills, similar to how Odin prepares warriors for Ragnarok at Valhalla. I think the “dwindled numbers” were probably troopers that were so badly damaged in training that their corpses couldn’t be revived by magic. I think that’s why they look so beat up, and I think that’s why Enoch says, “Die well.” I think the Night Troopers have developed a cult of death similar to Roman gladiators (hence his face mask). That’s how I would do it at least.
