No worries Justin, I know I dropped a LOT of Mando and BBF all at once in the span of like two weeks. Appreciate you watching along. This was a pretty perfect episode - very good Star Wars here! Good shout on the Savage death, I def didn't remember it well enough to make that connection myself. I am very hopeful we'll get more info about Ahsoka and Sabine's history on her previous training. It's still feeling like a slow build to it but we don't have many episodes left so I'm hoping they get to it soon. Perhaps if the next episode is focused on a conversation between Anakin and Ahsoka in TWBW, maybe he'll address how she's training? Not sure what to expect - open to anything! The version of Anakin that we're seeing... that one is def a tricky one to know for sure until we get the episode. With Vader's theme playing and like you said, the lightsaber resembling Vader's more than Anakin's, it is def possible we're getting a Vader confrontation situation but he's disguising himself as Anakin and being friendly at first? Gosh, who knows! All I know is that it's gonna be very good.

2023-09-08 21:35:57 +0000 UTCI def missed the photo of Kanan, that's amazing. I def don't think Sabine was out of character. Ezra was family to her and super important. It's hard to rationalize the prevention of Thrawn over rescuing your bestie. A lot of us would do what she did even if we think we would do something else. I'm really excited for Episode 5. I'm genuinely hoping the whole episode is set in TWBW and it's just a convo between the two of them for like 45 mins.

2023-09-08 21:33:10 +0000 UTCI haven't seen any reactions yet where they've harped on Sabine in that way, but I haven't watched a lot of reactions to this episode yet. That kinda breaks my heart too, but some people find it easier to empathize/sympathize than others.

2023-09-08 21:31:36 +0000 UTCCompletely agree.

2023-09-08 21:30:29 +0000 UTCI have been LOVING the Ahsoka show so far! Every episode has been great but THIS ONE, was nearly perfect, I would probably argue it might be perfect! We had spectacle, incredible fight choreography, mystery, and everyone and everything just looked stunning as well! At first I thought Morrok was some sentient gaseous species, or something like that because the Inquisitor from Tales of the Jedi deflated too. But Morrok did fail around more and didn’t seem like he was hurt, just dead. As well as the green smoke and ominous screams that erupted out of him alongside that smoke. So I do think he was some sort of enchanted Nightsister magic zombie. His armor was rusty and Green Smoke leaks out of Savage when he dies because he was enchanted with Magic. “Your family died because Ahsoka didn’t trust you” is very interesting. Sabine didn’t challenge Ballen on that statement so I think Sabine at least already believes that, whether that is the whole truth or not remains to be seen. SHIN is probably one of my new favorite characters in fiction period. She is just so COOL, STUNNING, and INTERESTING. I’ve seen many fans looking at her like she is just a psychopath attack dog who enjoys killing. But I STRONGLY DISAGREE. I definitely see her was being a character who’s main drive is to be an “effective asset” every time Balen tells her to do something she nods and does it, and when she seems to be doing well at her task that is when we see her iconic smirk. Additionally she only really gets mad when someone shows her up or hinders her effectiveness. Her fighting style like Belon’s is also super different from what we’ve seen before. In an interview her actress Ivanna Sakhno, said that her fighting style was inspired by a Tibetan Fox which is just cool! I don’t know if Belon had any animal inspiration but I see him as a Grizzly Bear, and a Medieval Knight. Anakin. Oh Anakin. I first thought that this was just his force ghost, pulling Ahsoka into the World between Worlds. But now it seems more threatening. If you look closely to his lightsaber on his hip, it resembles Vader’s hilt more than Anakin’s hilt, but it’s isn’t a perfect Vader match. So if I had to guess, this is Anakin’s ghost but either decides to test her in a real traumatizing way, or he is still a bit Vader and needs to be defeated in some way. I dunno but I’m excited! I haven’t commented in a bit, but I’ve loved watching Ahsoka with you so far, and I’m still working through your Mando watchalongs.

2023-09-08 07:12:17 +0000 UTCPEAKKKKK FICTIONNNNNN! My favourite little detail in this episode was the fact that there’s a picture of kanan in the cockpit of the ghost, and I’m pretty sure it’s a photo of Freddie prinze jr like AAAAA I CANTT Now, with Sabine joining Baylan, I wanna talk about this for a second cuz a lot of people think she was out of character for joining him. Regardless of her feelings about Ezra, what was Sabine supposed to do? If she refused to give Baylan the map he or shin would’ve killed her, and ahsoka wouldn’t even be able to help her either. And Hayden coming back and calling Ahsoka snips OMGG, he looks so good 😆 Phenomenal episode, this show just gets better and better.

2023-09-07 17:30:57 +0000 UTCI don’t think Sabine blaster would have hurt the globe map. A Jedi lightsaber was having destroying it right away

2023-09-07 16:07:11 +0000 UTCGreat reaction!!!! I have seen reactors throwing Sabine under the bus. I would have done the same thing Sabine did. My best friend died of Cancer, I would have done anything for more time with him. I couldn’t believe how mean people can be. Thanks for being a true Star Wars fan

2023-09-07 01:10:22 +0000 UTCMy favorite episode thus far...just let Filoni and crew do their thing, and I think this series is fucking gold.

2023-09-07 00:41:37 +0000 UTCThe Anakin force ghost in Return of the Jedi is the same Anakin you've described. Also I don't think in the world between worlds force ghosts would have to necessarily have that blue-y look to them!
kaiielle
2023-09-06 23:17:12 +0000 UTCForget one thing. The Anakin we saw at then end is the Anakin from Episode 3. He is wearing the same clothes from back then and he also has the robotic Hand. Its weird that he didnt look like a Force Ghost. A lot of questions. I hope we get some explaination in the next Episode.

2023-09-06 22:26:22 +0000 UTCIt's not a deepfake because it was actually Hayden Christensen (he was credited). It's just bad de-aging - looked a bit off compared to the de-aging on him in Obi-Wan Kenobi. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on all the rest! I agree, I don't blame Sabine for giving into Baylan. She's dead set on Ezra and can't drop it like Ahsoka could easily be able to.

2023-09-06 22:22:50 +0000 UTCCouldnt wait for your reaction. Absolutely a 10/10 and the last few minutes a 12/10. I watched the "Hello Snips" scene several times today and i teared up every freaking time. It hits so hard to hear him calling her Snips and then seeing Ahsoka for the first time in the Show lighten up when she sees him. But...i will start with my 2 problems with this Episode even if they are minor ones. First why do all the Parents take their Childrens with them into Battle!? I dont understand it, makes no sense to me but also more or less irrelevant especially if you get a hint on Jacen and his force sensitivity. SEcond and that was my biggest problem. Anakin´s deepfake looked so bad to me. It reminded me a lot of Luke from Chapter 16. Dont know how could we come from bad looking Luke to good looking Luke in BoBF to now bad looking Anakin. Very irritating but of course also who cares if the moment was so phenomenal. Now the good things imho. Everything else!! Seriously, in Episode 2 i said the Fioght choreography looked mediocre and now ate my words from back then. Both Fights looked amazing. Maybe they got more confident with Roasrio and her Lekkus? I dont know but it looked so much better. Its very refreshing to have Dave Filoni/Peter Ramsey not being afraid showing the bad Guys be equally or even more powerful then the Heroines. The first fight between Sabine and Ahsoka and Shin and Marook was nicely done. There was one moment where Ahsoka was holding her lightsabre over her head like Anakin did in Episode 2 while he was fighting Dooku. Very neat throwback. But the hightlight was Ahsokas fight against Baylin. Lightsabre Duels always reminded to Samuraiduels and this one had possibly the best choreography to compare. Raw, powerful, no fancy dancing/jumping around only pure fighting with very different styles in a very believable manner. Btw Baylin used the same fighting stance Qui-Gon used (form 4) in Episode 1. It was also very nice to see that Baylin is the more powerful Jedi. I truly think Ahsoka wouldnt have a chance against him, although it could be different if she would have used her form 5 style but i dont think so. Nevertheless great Sequence with Baylin talking to her before the fight to throw her a bit off by mentioning Anakin. We also got quite a big reveal about Sabines Parents. It seems they died in the Night of a thousand Tears. Im not sure how so many Reactionchannels can be so angry/mad about Sabine giving up on to Baylin. I have watched so many bad written moments over the years and often they were going over it like nothing and now we get a realtable and believable Storyline for someone and they dont get it why it is so important to Sabine to find Ezra. Crazy. It was masterfully done by Baylin slipping into her mind and reading her feelings like an open book. He was so confident that he even took away his lightsabre. He knew he could manipulate her even before he really started. To getting angry about Sabine just shows how many dont think at all in those moments. It also shows the difference between Sabine being "only" force sensitive and a fully trained Jedi Master like Baylin. Lastly i wanna talk about the Shin and Baylin a bit. I love Ahsoka and Sabine and their Actresses but Ivanna and Ray starting to become my favorites in the Show. Ivanna is amazing as Shin but Baylin is on another level. Every time i see Ray Stevenson on screen is commanding the audience on him. His presence is so compelling, so fascinating and intruiging that i wish we could have a Spin off with him and Shin to explain their Origin. Totally forgot, common theory about Marook is that he was a Nightsister Spawn created by Morgan with her witchcraft and he was probably an Inquistor. Anyway, thanks for your reaction. Take care.

2023-09-06 21:21:23 +0000 UTCSame - that was my assumption as well. 👆🏼

2023-09-06 20:35:12 +0000 UTCI feel the same. 😂
kaiielle
2023-09-06 20:24:40 +0000 UTCMy idea on Marrok was he was just a dead inquisitor that Morgan reanimated with nightsister magick to serve under her ( that is why he died with green dust going everywhere). He was not really important but cool looking and someone to defeat early in the show. Great episode, awesome reaction. It is going to be a long week.

2023-09-06 19:59:20 +0000 UTCOMG! It's here! Oh boy, this one was a doozie, eh? I about fell over a few times during this one, but that ending…wow. Looking forward to your reaction. 🙂
