Rest in Peace Ray Stevenson, I was really looking forward to seeing you in multiple seasons of Ahsoka. Phenomenal actor, and I am really looking forward to see you in season 1 of Ahsoka. The first really interesting Star Wars villain announced in years.
I just finished my first full play though of rebels a few weeks ago, and the Ashoka show is just the cherry on top for me. I can’t wait for this to come out, as I have full faith in favreau and filoni.
As a Clone Wars and Rebels fan I feel a sense of immense satisfaction. Seeing these characters in live action continuing the story is unreal. Edit: wow this blew up 😳 I’m so excited 😆
All these rebels fans are like “we are getting something finally.” As a clone wars fan, I would have never believed ahsoka would get a live action show. I’m so happy to see my favorite character brought to life.
Has anybody noticed how Sabine cuts her hair to look like Ezra's in the mural. But they way she cuts it with a knife and it being in a ponytail and add her headwear on a stone in front of her Is the exact way Kanan performed his hair cut in Rebels Episode Jedi Knight. I love how they both did it to save someone they loved. Thank You Filoni.
Sabine is a Mandalorian, Ahsoka and Kanan helped train her in lightsaber use so she could weild the darksaber. There was never any indication she was force sensitive, though. I feel like her calling ahsoka master is a bit of a misdirsct and highly doubt she will be a Padawan. They just accompanied each other, searching for Ezra Bridger.
@@veritaz212 i think ahsoka will have been in her "master" but in a more traditional sword fighting way, no force usage, just teaching her to weild a saber properly
I finished rebels almost 7 years ago with my dad. I knew one day the story of Sabine and Ahsoka would be fulfilled but never would have believed it would ever be this incredible and large scale. This is truly a dream come true for me and wish the cast and crew the best of luck and hope everyone else enjoys watching it! My the force be with you
Looked really cheesy tbh, took me out of the universe. Made it seem like people in-universe watched the same animated show instead of the show being in-universe.
From, "My name is Ahsoka Tano and I've been assigned to Anakin Skywalker to complete my Jedi training," to Agent Fulcrum - our girl sure has grown through a lot. Clone Wars was MY generation's Star Wars and it genuinely feels like I've grown too, seeing Ahsoka's journey parallel to my own throughout the years.
I was just thinking about this same thing the other day. I saw the Clone Wars movie on opening day and it feels almost like people like us have grown up alongside the character.
I agree with you. Clone Wars was my childhood too. We learned the ways of the Force along with Ahsoka, and this feels like the next part of the journey.
I was told I *had* to watch Rebels for this show so I decided to do that and didn't watch this trailer until I finished it yesterday. My god I can't wait for this show.
Thrawn looks amazing. The shade of blue of his skin looks just like how it did on Rebels. I can’t wait to see what Lars Mikkelsen does with the role. With him actually physically portraying the character and all the unexplored time between Rebels and now, I think he is going to give a incredible performance.
It's terrible that Ray Stevenson is gone. Not only because he was such a great actor and way too young but also because his character (as often) seems very compelling and may just disappear off-screen in the case of a continuation of his story line.
I got chills watching this. Words cannot describe my excitement for this show. Payoff for the Rebels fans, it looks great, Lars playing live action Thrawn, the late Ray Stevenson giving what looks like a good performance, in the words of a former Jedi who may have been mentioned a couple times in this trailer; “This is where the fun begins.”
I’m gonna confess that the only reason I saw Rebels at the time was purely for the villains (basically Thrawn) and Ahsoka, and now those two are in life action, this is gonna be great
Rebels is still the closest we've ever gotten to the Darth Vader of the original film ever since. Even the Vader of Empire and Jedi didn't give off quite the same sinister look and vibe. Rebels Vader was terrifying, and they somehow nailed the subtle differences in his armor and helmet.
I started Rebels at the beginning of Covid Lockdowns without seeing Clone Wars which I eventually did watch. In its own sick way if it wasn’t for Covid I wouldn’t fully appreciate this series!
After 5 years of waiting Ezra Bridger’s story will be continued. But I never saw it coming like this. THIS IS BETTER THAN ANYTHING I COULDVE DREAMED OF WHEN I WAS WATCHING REBELS AS A KID
After seeing Ahsoka beat Maul as a teen, and going toe-to-toe with Vader later as an adult, I would have a hard time seeing her struggle against anyone in combat so I hope they don’t nerf her in this and make the villains both physically and mentally formidable and make it make sense.
After seeing her fight her master in the most emotional duel since Luke vs Vader, I can't even see her struggle with a mental conflict, until I remember that the conflict is with Thrawn.
She didn't "beat" Maul as a teen, Maul outclassed her in every way, even Dave said that Maul is the superior combatant. But she outsmarted him and he had to lose for plot purposes.
@@idebates7752 A win's a win in my book. This isn't the first time the physically superior warrior loses to the smarter one, Anakin vs Obi-Wan in RoTS or Maul vs Obi-Wan in PM being the perfect example, and Maul has fallen victim to plot purposes more than once. I mean he lost to a blind Kanan like right after he went blind.
I am SO happy we’re getting Thrawn. I see they’re hiding his voice too… which makes me want to hear it so much despite knowing it’s going to sound exactly correct BECAUSE THAT’S THE ACTUAL VOICE ACTOR!!!! WOO!
I love that they're doing what they did with Andor by giving it a 2 episode premier. It gets us mote hyped for the show. And I love the look of this show.
@@isaacbeeby2528 You don't get it. Its called a quarter premiere. Ahsoka releases 2 episodes for an 8 episode season, Andor releases 3 for a 12 episode season. Both are 25% of the show
Seeing Thrawn in live-action is going to be even greater than seeing Ahsoka the first time in live-action. This is a character whose been waiting decades to make his flesh and blood appearance on the small (and hopefully) big screen: From the book readers of the 90s to the Rebels fans of the 2010s
Ahsoka was in the Mandalorian recently with the same actress and she was pretty good FYI, so this is technically not her first time in live-action. But will be great to more of her an see the character develop further in live-action!
And unlike the flashy moves of Ahsoka that didn't translate perfectly to live action, Thrawns appeal is in his mannerisms, dialogue and plans. Which can translate to live action perfectly!
@tompatchak8706 It could be that they dont particularly look like the characters they play. But honestly the casting is almost perfect. I have small gripes with Hera but that's only because of the voice, everyone else is spot on
@@axtyn7620 well I know the young lady that does Sabine looks nothin like the animated version. Like she’s a beautiful Indian girl. But the kid that does Ezra? I mean he may be a bit too old now, but he’s been Ezra for years!
@tompatchak8706 And I don't think anything can take away from their performances. The voice actors will always be their respective characters. They made the characters who they are. But it's ok to share the characters as long as they do a good job, which it's looking they will. Same with Rosario Dawson and Ashley Eckstein. Ahsoka will always be Ashley's, but it can be Rasarios too.
For a trailer, I didn’t expect it to show off this much. I’m beyond excited to finally have the ghost crew back together. Saw Zeb in The Mandalorian, and here we get to see Sabine, Hera, Chopper, Thrawn, and I’m sure we will see Ezra.
Sabine being trained by Ashoka is such an interesting concept and I love how the art style of the Ghost’s crew was drawn in the Rebels style. Live action Thrawn looks amazing too.
Yeah it is interesting as she called her master. Now of course she is not force sensitive so she has a disadvantage but she’s been trained with the lightsaber even more by the looks of it. I mean she is a warrior regardless and knows how to fight but she probably wanted to master the saber
@@AM-dk3wyDF implied she might be. That would be good to see, Ezra's final I'm counting on you could be that he is counting on her to take his place since he doesn't think there are many jedi left at all, if any.
@@AM-dk3wyI suspect that conversation with the dark side user goes: “you have no power!” “True. Do have a *lot* of explosives though.” *planet-shattering kaboom*
As a rebels Fan from the first time watching, this is Just insane. I love the idea of Sabine getting more lightsaber training even tho she isnt force sensitive.
Kind of weird that I’m only seeing a few comments about Ray Stevenson. He spent the last few months of his life preparing to give us some of his best work as a new Star Wars character. I’m sure he could hardly wait to see his character come to life and showcase his talent to the rest of the world…. And yet it feels like not too many people are even acknowledging him. I get the hype for this show surpasses almost anything & everyone else when it comes to Star Wars but let’s at least show our respects to this man. Aside from that, this looks absolutely beautiful.
Honestly just the feeling behind the way Ray says "Anakin spoke highly of you". Its a bittersweet sensation because Ray could easily have been up there with Qui-gon or Alec Guiness Obi-wan as an iconic jedi/sith master. He just has amazing presence
It was the first thing I thought about. He was very passionate about this role and made it clear during interviews. I wonder how the story panned out and if he was planned to fill a semi permanent role. Either way what a loss and such a amazing actor.
What's crazy is Rosario did her homework for Ahsoka in this. She sounds exactly like an older Ahsoka. Her pace of voice, how she pronounces certain phrases it sounds a lot like Ashley. So, so good, I am very glad Dawson has made the character her own and has honored what has come before
I thought her performance was wooden, and horrible. If I hadn't known Rosario to be a talented actress from other stuff I would have put her in the Bree Larson plank of wood school of acting.
I know! I can't belive it's actually happening! I wanted to see him in live action ever since I read the Thrawn trilogy. I can't belive this is real. It's like a dream
Seeing live action characters in animation is one thing. But seeing originally animated characters in live action is so surreal! Can’t wait! I hope Zeb is in this show for an episode or 2.
There are no words right now to describe seeing Thrawn in a live action Star Wars show, the emotions are insane right now!!!!! What a time to be alive!!!!
Lars did a phenomenal job as Thrawn in Rebels so I was beyond thrilled to hear he’d be reprising the role in live action. That said I was a little concerned that he might not look the part but I’m glad to say I stand corrected dude fits the role so well in live action too I am beyond stoked.
@@DC-fi4kt I would've used Bill Gates, George Soros, Jeff Bezos or any other Billionaire, but everybody wants to pick on Musk. Oh well, the Musk look suits Thrawn
I'm still worried what they're going to do with Thrawn's story. He was actually pretty good in Rebels but I really hope to see more of his cunning and actual competency, he needs to be a very significant threat.
Hopefully. Now is the time though. Rebels was pre-OT so he was throttled by the canon. But now he can go all out. And I mean realistically the sequel trilogy never really answered how the first order rose so quickly (and it’s only imo vaguely addressed in the books) so maybe a super competent Thrawn can make that all make much more sense
@@ergob3907 same the best part about most of the shows is that you can mostly watch them and act like they don't connect to that mess of a sequel trilogy.
The force is strong with this one. Most fleshed out + liked character in official SW lore. Being an OG fan I wish they'd give Luke his own "backstory" series. Depressing it may be, but much like how Clone Wars gave deeper appreciation to EP III, a Clone Wars style animated "Jedi Order of the New Republic" would be great. Even though we know where they would be taking us, I'd like to see Luke in his prime (outside of EU).
I like the implication that this takes places almost immediately after the Rebels series finale. Or at least whichever part the series 1:18 takes place
Still not sure about Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Hera (I'm not quite getting the "mother lion" vibe that Hera usually has, but I suppose we've only seen brief clips of her), but the others all seem like excellent choices.
Ahsoka Tano is one of my favorite Star Wars characters of all time! since she was first introduced to me in The Clone Wars movie and also the series in 2008. Ahsoka Tano Forever! 💛✨
Now both Lars and Mads Mikkelsen will be live action Mads as Galen Erso and Lars as ofc thrawn sadly they arent of same speicies would be amazing if the irl brothers would also be brothers in Cannon but that speicies thing is a barriere but it would be a good reference.
@@mccleandazza4618 Yeah, it’s truly hilarious to see how blind people are, it’s a trailer, which literally means nothing. Disney is bleeding revenue and people simply choose not to see it.
@scruffysolo1444 season 3 was garbage except for the last 2 episodes. They ruined Kenobi! If they can't even handle that then how are they going to pull this off? The team that makes the trailers is completely separate from the actual production team.
“In my experience, when you think you understand the force, you realise just how little you know.” I have a feeling we’re going to find out a lot of things and I can’t wait! In 2008 when Ahsoka was introduced little did people think she would end up with her own series! Ahsoka is the best! I’m so hyped!
@@Crimson03Ghost You don't have to seriously attack people just because they like something. If they like Thrawn's look (which I do), there's nothing wrong with that. But Star Wars fans always have to complain. Either something is too "woke", one person imagined it that way, but another person imagined it differently and immediately everyone is at each other's throats.
I watched Rebels as it aired live on Disney XD, through 4 seasons. I was so disappointed, frustrated, and confused when season 4 ended and I heard we weren’t getting another. I gave up hope on Ezra and Sabine’s story… until The Mandalorian. When Ahsoka said “where is Grand Admiral Thrawn?” I just went 😲😃 Then nothing happened for a while. The the teaser came out and I got pretty excited. But THIS? A clone wars era shuttle, live action Ghost and Phantom 2, Chopper and Hera, Sabine too, and E-Wing, and the inquisitor who may or may not be Barris Offee. I cannot wait
After rebels I was lost I have watched the stuff in between but those characters were something special. So glad they are coming back and in live action to continue their story! I never thought this day would come.
1 year old since it premiered! One of my favorite spin-offs I really like Rosario Dawson But I wish more of her was the center of this They did do a better job with the flashbacks than in Clone Wars (2008) I’m happy they brought back Hayden Christensen too It was cool seeing Thrawn too in live action from the expanded universe
People seem to forget that Sabine was using Ezra's saber in s3 of rebels. She used it to defeat Gar Saxon. She's also trained in the darksaber, so she could be a non force user being trained in sword combat.
Seems to me like her missing a connection to the force might be exactly one of the problems brought up in the series (the whole 'you have no power!' bit seems to point towards it). We will see! Could be an interesting character arc, we only very rarely had non-Force users being adapt at using lightsabers.
Good points all around! Personally i dont want her to be force sensitive. Same problem i have with too many order 66 survivors. It dilutes the event for me. Yeah her calling ahsoka master is interesting. I guess we'll find out when the show comes out.
@@laurencereyes1871I have to say that we’ve had a small fraction of Jedi that survived 66. There were like what? 10000 Jedi? We don’t even have one percent of Jedi that survived. Maybe not even half a percent. I’m would be more shocked if there weren’t more.
@CodyKatastrophic If Sabine is force sensitive in this series, I will literally start cussing out the screen in Huttese, Mando'a, Galactic Basic, and however many Star Wars languages I know the swearwords in!!!
I love that they got the voice actor, who is an amazing actor anyways, to play his live-action adaptation. I'm excited. Anything Thrawn is in is peak Star Wars lol.
Erykah Badu can be introduced into this series as Ahsoka's sister since Ahsoka favors Erica's real-life person so much. 😊 I also believe that Erykah would do a great job 👏🏾 👍🏾 😀 😄
I hope Sabine isn’t force sensitive BUT the idea of her fighting a force sensitive person with a lightsaber is such a intriguing concept and I can’t wait to see it unfold. Rebels fans are going to be rewarded it seems
@@elpopman2055 The moment they focus on the force choke she hits them with a wrist-mounted flame-thrower or dart gun. Force-based combat doesn't really make too much sense in the Star Wars universe (it is more fantasy than sci-fi) - Mandolorians being a counter to Force users is fairly traditional, just try to go with it and enjoy?
The Thrawn trilogy by Timothy Zahn was arguably the best post Empire series in what was once canon. The fact that Filoni brought him into Rebels and now into li e action still gives me hope for future content and new storylines based on the DNA of the original story.
The original Thrawn trilogy is the reason Star Wars ever lasted. It was considered uncool to be a Star Wars fan in the 80s and 90s, right up until Heir to the Empire came out. Zahn sparked off interest in Star Wars again, and is the reason the EU became so large for it. It even helped get enough interest for the prequels to get off the ground.
@@cadenvanvalkenburg6718 I couldn't agree more. It completely drew me back in and showed that there were still some great stories to be told. It also allowed us to see our favorite characters continue to grow and reach their potential.
Gotta say, live action Thrawn looks awesome. He looks so intimidating, just like how he was described in a few of the old Star Wars books I read and in rebels.
@@marcw6875 the grand inquisitor is already in the live action version. He looked very different. Not to mention that Isaacs was voice acting, which let's the actor sound different. Look at him in Harry Potter or the Patriot and tell me he couldn't play thrawn perfectly.
As someone who grew up with Ahsoka since the clone wars, this show is going to be very special to me!!! The Rebels & Clone Wars characters were perfectly casted!!!
Because of the comments, I've started watching, "Star Wars: Rebels" and now re-watching the trailer I realize the title "Ahsoka" was just a cover for "Star Wars: Rebels - Live action" and I'm all about it!!!
It's amazing how Baylon says Anakin spoke highly of you and immediately, we hear Darth Vader breathing. This show is going to be incredible and I'm really looking forward to it
They HAVE to do Thrawn well. He is pivotal to the success of this show. Thank you for not showing us much of him, that means so much more to the build up of his character. Also, we REALLY need a competent Star Wars baddie, haven't had one in a minute
I'm absolutely heartbroken over Ray. He was such an underrated actor. And this show isn't even released but it's already obvious we needed more of Baylan in star wars
@@randomcub922 ... its Ray Stevenson the actor who played the old dude with the red lightsaber in this. Hes passed away sadly. Not talking about Ray Palpatine.
( I really hope Ashoka and Ezra somehow prevent the sequel trilogies from happening where Ashoka, Ezra and the REAL Luke are practically non-existant. I dont care if they need to use the World Between Worlds to do it, the end of Mandalorian Season 2 was better then all the sequel movies combined.)
...we don't know how much time has past yet. Her saying she walked away from sabine, makes me think some years have past. Madalorian is 5 years after Episode6... so, this asoka story is either between those years...or it happens after Madalorian season 1, or overlaps 1,2 and 3. Even though the empire, in Madalorian does not mention thrall at all... and the black actor seemed to be wanting to be in charge over the new order, and he wouldn't challenge Thrall, I don't think.... so I'm guessing its either taking place after season 3 of Mando. Or a year or so, after Episode 6 ended.
@@prew_gamingThrawn is mentioned in Season 3. Moff Gideon mentions in a meeting, he is tired of talk from Pelleon regarding Thrawns return and the immense amount of resources directed at Thrawns plan.
I think they’re genuine dark siders who don’t want to be mistaken as Jedi, unlike Ahsoka who we all know has a complicated history with the old order. In a mirror darkly, to borrow a Star Trek trope
Possible Fallen Jedi/Dark Jedi 😓. Since the color of their lightsabers is burning 🔥 red (like with Dagan Gera in Jedi Survivor and later Bode Akuna with one half of Dagan Gera's dual lightsabers) instead of blood red like with the Sith or the Knights of Ren 🤔 (except for Taron Malicos 🤔). Speaking which, they just showed a Sith Inquisitor at the end of the sneak peek 🤔.
Rest in Peace Ray Stevenson, I was really looking forward to seeing you in multiple seasons of Ahsoka. Phenomenal actor, and I am really looking forward to see you in season 1 of Ahsoka. The first really interesting Star Wars villain announced in years.

Fact: this show is real success.
I love that they're doing what they did with Andor by giving it a 2 episode premier. It gets us mote hyped for the show. And I love the look of this show.
Andors premiere was 3 episodes
@@isaacbeeby2528 You don't get it. Its called a quarter premiere. Ahsoka releases 2 episodes for an 8 episode season, Andor releases 3 for a 12 episode season. Both are 25% of the show
Yeah Andor had 3 episodes on release and nothing happened. Could have condensed it into 15 minutes. Bore off. Lol.
Obi wan Kenobi was 2 episode premier. That show TANKED! 😅
@@jabbadabbajew6035man can't handle something not having action every five minutes and actually taking time to develop the story and characters
Seeing Thrawn in live-action is going to be even greater than seeing Ahsoka the first time in live-action. This is a character whose been waiting decades to make his flesh and blood appearance on the small (and hopefully) big screen: From the book readers of the 90s to the Rebels fans of the 2010s
I agree, as someone who read Timothy Zahn's books back in the 90s, hearing Thrawn make the leap to live action gave me a fan boy squeal. :P
Ahsoka was in the Mandalorian recently with the same actress and she was pretty good FYI, so this is technically not her first time in live-action. But will be great to more of her an see the character develop further in live-action!
YES! I CANNOT WAIT!!!
I thought that was elon musk
And unlike the flashy moves of Ahsoka that didn't translate perfectly to live action, Thrawns appeal is in his mannerisms, dialogue and plans. Which can translate to live action perfectly!
2:02 I love how unimpressed Ahsoka was about that inquisitor knowing full well that one from tales of the Jedi lasted like 2 seconds against her
She also took on the Fifth Brother and Seventh Sister simultaneously and utterly outclassed them.
Yeah, but what’s this feeling in regards to this one?
Because I feel like they could be something wrong something more powerful with this one.
@darthdracul8372 Something a little more Ezra about them perhaps?
@@darthdracul8372 Its Barriss Offee

Just finished Ahsoka, and it's awesome! I'm very impressed!
I am SO GLAD they kept Lars Mikkelson as Thrawn. The casting was so perfect that it would’ve been a waste not to bring him back.
But why weren’t the other voice actors used?
@tompatchak8706 It could be that they dont particularly look like the characters they play. But honestly the casting is almost perfect. I have small gripes with Hera but that's only because of the voice, everyone else is spot on
@@axtyn7620 well I know the young lady that does Sabine looks nothin like the animated version. Like she’s a beautiful Indian girl.
But the kid that does Ezra?
I mean he may be a bit too old now, but he’s been Ezra for years!
@@tompatchak8706Indian? I thought she was Asian bruh
@tompatchak8706 And I don't think anything can take away from their performances. The voice actors will always be their respective characters. They made the characters who they are. But it's ok to share the characters as long as they do a good job, which it's looking they will. Same with Rosario Dawson and Ashley Eckstein. Ahsoka will always be Ashley's, but it can be Rasarios too.
Rest in Peace, Ray. Can't wait to watch this, in your memory.
A great actor that passed far too soon.
He was perfectly cast as Titus Pullo in Rome & Blackbeard in Black Sails.

For a trailer, I didn’t expect it to show off this much. I’m beyond excited to finally have the ghost crew back together. Saw Zeb in The Mandalorian, and here we get to see Sabine, Hera, Chopper, Thrawn, and I’m sure we will see Ezra.

Ezra was in the hologram that Sabine was looking at before she cut her hair! 🤘
We did see Ezra!

And Rex!!!
It’s the way we’ve seen ALL BUT ONE SHOT OF FOOTAGE IN THIS TRAILER
Sabine being trained by Ashoka is such an interesting concept and I love how the art style of the Ghost’s crew was drawn in the Rebels style. Live action Thrawn looks amazing too.
Yeah it is interesting as she called her master. Now of course she is not force sensitive so she has a disadvantage but she’s been trained with the lightsaber even more by the looks of it. I mean she is a warrior regardless and knows how to fight but she probably wanted to master the saber
@@AM-dk3wyDF implied she might be. That would be good to see, Ezra's final I'm counting on you could be that he is counting on her to take his place since he doesn't think there are many jedi left at all, if any.
@@AM-dk3wyI suspect that conversation with the dark side user goes: “you have no power!” “True. Do have a *lot* of explosives though.” *planet-shattering kaboom*
Remember she trained with Kanaan on how to use the Darksaber, makes sense that she may have continued that training with Ahsoka
@@AM-dk3wy It's directly implied she is force sensitive. Both in Rebels multiple times and now with these new trailers and promos.

Kind of weird that I’m only seeing a few comments about Ray Stevenson. He spent the last few months of his life preparing to give us some of his best work as a new Star Wars character. I’m sure he could hardly wait to see his character come to life and showcase his talent to the rest of the world…. And yet it feels like not too many people are even acknowledging him. I get the hype for this show surpasses almost anything & everyone else when it comes to Star Wars but let’s at least show our respects to this man. Aside from that, this looks absolutely beautiful.
No idea who he was or what he did before your comment. So I guess you're successful 😄
Honestly just the feeling behind the way Ray says "Anakin spoke highly of you". Its a bittersweet sensation because Ray could easily have been up there with Qui-gon or Alec Guiness Obi-wan as an iconic jedi/sith master. He just has amazing presence
I appreciate your comment, man was an absolute legend.

It was the first thing I thought about. He was very passionate about this role and made it clear during interviews. I wonder how the story panned out and if he was planned to fill a semi permanent role. Either way what a loss and such a amazing actor.
What's crazy is Rosario did her homework for Ahsoka in this. She sounds exactly like an older Ahsoka. Her pace of voice, how she pronounces certain phrases it sounds a lot like Ashley. So, so good, I am very glad Dawson has made the character her own and has honored what has come before
Nope.
I thought her performance was wooden, and horrible. If I hadn't known Rosario to be a talented actress from other stuff I would have put her in the Bree Larson plank of wood school of acting.

I'm still worried what they're going to do with Thrawn's story. He was actually pretty good in Rebels but I really hope to see more of his cunning and actual competency, he needs to be a very significant threat.
Feel ya bro
Hopefully. Now is the time though. Rebels was pre-OT so he was throttled by the canon. But now he can go all out. And I mean realistically the sequel trilogy never really answered how the first order rose so quickly (and it’s only imo vaguely addressed in the books) so maybe a super competent Thrawn can make that all make much more sense

The force is strong with this one. Most fleshed out + liked character in official SW lore.
Being an OG fan I wish they'd give Luke his own "backstory" series. Depressing it may be, but much like how Clone Wars gave deeper appreciation to EP III, a Clone Wars style animated "Jedi Order of the New Republic" would be great. Even though we know where they would be taking us, I'd like to see Luke in his prime (outside of EU).

And so is Anakin’s Force Spirit who will guide his Former Padawan to fulfill her destiny.

People seem to forget that Sabine was using Ezra's saber in s3 of rebels. She used it to defeat Gar Saxon. She's also trained in the darksaber, so she could be a non force user being trained in sword combat.
You are right. HOWEVER they spoke of training, and she called Ahsoka Master. That does lend a bit more to the contrary. She never called Kanaan master
Seems to me like her missing a connection to the force might be exactly one of the problems brought up in the series (the whole 'you have no power!' bit seems to point towards it). We will see! Could be an interesting character arc, we only very rarely had non-Force users being adapt at using lightsabers.
Good points all around! Personally i dont want her to be force sensitive. Same problem i have with too many order 66 survivors. It dilutes the event for me. Yeah her calling ahsoka master is interesting. I guess we'll find out when the show comes out.

Even though the empire, in Madalorian does not mention thrall at all... and the black actor seemed to be wanting to be in charge over the new order, and he wouldn't challenge Thrall, I don't think.... so I'm guessing its either taking place after season 3 of Mando. Or a year or so, after Episode 6 ended.

@@prew_gamingThrawn is mentioned in Season 3. Moff Gideon mentions in a meeting, he is tired of talk from Pelleon regarding Thrawns return and the immense amount of resources directed at Thrawns plan.
"By the force, I feel a dark force rising!"
"I will stop it, even if it is the last command!"
Rest in peace, Ray Stevenson! I am sure your Sith portrayal will not go unnoticed!

"We are no jedi", such a good tie-in with Ahsoka, since neither she calls herself a jedi. I am eager to see how this will unfold.
I think they’re genuine dark siders who don’t want to be mistaken as Jedi, unlike Ahsoka who we all know has a complicated history with the old order.
In a mirror darkly, to borrow a Star Trek trope
Possible Fallen Jedi/Dark Jedi 😓. Since the color of their lightsabers is burning 🔥 red (like with Dagan Gera in Jedi Survivor and later Bode Akuna with one half of Dagan Gera's dual lightsabers) instead of blood red like with the Sith or the Knights of Ren 🤔 (except for Taron Malicos 🤔). Speaking which, they just showed a Sith Inquisitor at the end of the sneak peek 🤔.
@@erikolson4148 Very, very strong Joruus C'Baoth vibes
@@alexcamacho1842 Though I'm sure they must have posed as Jedi in order to get aboard that New Republic cruiser. Then out pop the red sabers!
@@JeffDJ69 orange lightsabers tho and funny thing they are Jedi turned dark side
