i just realized that General Grievous actually had his cape on for the whole fight, something ROTS and CW both avoided completely because it was too hard to animate
The whole episode I was noticing how far the animation has come since The Clone Wars. A few of the shots could have been mistaken for live action ones if I didn't know what they were from.
Dave Filoni has access to infinity funds now so as long as Disney lets him keep that Black Mastercard he's going to continue putting out highly detailed, high quality content. I wish they would let him animate all 6 Star Wars movies with Clones Wars animation and voice actors.
The only 7-9 I will ever acknowledge is Jeri Ryan from Voyager. I think my ears are still bleeding from Finn screaming, "REYYYYYYY" for 10 hours.
Which is weird because in the Clone wars Episode he doesn’t have a cape on when he’s fighting Ventress.
@@dindjarin4009 he put it on after for style points
@@dindjarin4009This was a later wave after the main attack to clean up the remaining Nightsisters. Ventress has left at this point and Grievous went back to his ship and to replace his hand and get his cape.
The voice on the Comm Device that Morgan Destroyed was Bo-Katan and Katie Sackoff Was mentioned in the Credits. That's how Ahsoka came to be there and how Bo-Katan knew where to find her when Din asked her.
I caught that, too. This is right before Ahsoka goes after Morgan. The forest would've not had time to grow back.
I knew that voice sounded familiar.
they talked over it lol
Why Bo-Katan though? Did the ambassador have relations with Bo, or perhaps Corvus is in the Mandalorian Sector?
@@shugaroony The Transmission said she intercepted the distress beacon and was the first to reply. As Bo was in the outer Rim on Trask(which is in the Outer Rim one System from Tatooine), She would have been near enough to recieve the transmission(Note that Obi-Wan's Transmission in Episode II Had to be forwarded by Anakin).
The voice in episode 3 answering distress was Bo Katan then she sends Ashoka
Don't know if they heard it. I think they talked right through it.
Yeah. They were talking over it and missed it.
You recognizing that the Mountain Clan shows up in Star Wars Galaxies makes you a real one lmao, I can't believe they included them in this it made me so happy
Yeah, but I spent the whole episode distracted by that name, and correcting them every time: the _Singing_ Mountain clan, the _SINGING_ Mountain clan, dammit use their correct name. I was thrilled that we finally get to see the _Witches_ of Dathomir as opposed to _only_ seeing the Nightsisters (they _are_ different, after all; both factions access the Force through spell-casting and have different abilities than traditional Force users, but the Witches and the Nightsisters are as different as the Jedi and the Sith). It annoyed me that they made the whole damn planet seem like it was inhabited by nothing but Dark Siders, so I'm glad to see them bring the planet to a state where The Courtship of Princess Leia can be re-introduced into the canon, basically.
But if the Star Wars Story Group is going to keep lifting ideas wholesale from an already-established creation like that novel (they don't seem to have a lot of original ideas), then I wish they'd do the author the favor of getting it _right_ instead of acting like they pulled from the cliff notes of the books. The Witches that Han and Leia meet are *the Singing Mountain Clan* and Gethzerion and her group of Nightsisters.
And while on the subject of lifting things from the books, I'm pissed they took one of Thrawn's greatest contributions to the Empire, i.e. the fact that HE designed the TIE Defender, and made it Morgan's design instead. Timothy Zahn established _decades_ ago that _Thrawn_ came up with those designs. And he wasn't in the least bit afraid or unwilling to position something in his books as "this person created the design for the fighters and brought it to Thrawn's attention, earning his admiration and backing for the idea." Thrawn gave credit where it was due. So if someone _else_ had designed them and Thrawn got behind the plan to produce them, we'd have been told that in the novels. But _he_ is the one who said to a group of engineers, "We need starfighters to rival the X-Wings. This is what I want: shields, a hyperdrive, a more efficient engine, better scopes..." etc and he approved designs or sent them back to their drawing boards.
This show just makes it look like in the 10 years it took him to rise to the rank of Admiral, he had never even considered such a thing until Morgan Elsbeth _happened_ to come to his attention and basically drop those plans in his lap.
I'm all for deepening Morgan's backstory and making her a more complex character, but can we do it WITHOUT taking the contributions to OTHER characters away from them? And wtf does burning a forest moon have to do with building starfighters? WHERE is this factory? We saw this town in Mando Season 2...it ain't that big. And Ahsoka's series says that Morgan's main shipbuilding complexes were on Corellia, which made me think that Corvis is where she fled to when the New Republic came through after Endor, freeing the big systems in the Inner Rim. It makes no sense that Corvis has any damn thing to do with building starfighters or that it is rich with resources the Empire feels the need to control.
Idk, I was just shaking my head through these first 3 episodes.
That was Bo-katan answering the distress call. I wonder if she's the one who sent Ahsoka to Corvus? It would explain why she knew the Mandolorian would find Ahsoka there. Burning the forest really brought Morgan's story full circle and also explains why the "forest planet" we expected in Mando was in ruins.
But then how did Ahsoka find out she’s working for Thrawn she must’ve been briefed about her by the New Republic considering that ambassador knew she’s a wanted imperial war criminal and wanted to bring her in alive
Yep yep yep... and you know what --- yep again, I had the same thoughts
@@patriotamerican3426 Ahsoka was working intelligence for the rebellion, I'm sure she'd be aware of Morgan Elsbeth as a known associate of Thrawn. Long before the New Republic became a thing.
Ahsoka would have known Morgan’s involvement with Thrawn during the Fulcrum missions.
It was cool seeing scary Grevious and the laugh was also just so creepy. Reminded me of how scary he was in the 2003 CW when he debuted
You know what I want a Tales Of Grevious!!!!!
WE GOT ONE, WE GOT ONE LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
Oh it never fails, it's been two decades but you guys won't shut up
@@aitipsea3909 hey just saying it makes sense lmao. I mean there’s so much back story and lore to explore.
I just realized the titles are a reference to Yoda's line in Episode 1. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering. We got Path of Fear, Path of Anger, Path of Hate, and where we find Corvus in Mando, the people are now totally in suffering.
It's not like they haven't done it in marketing a million times before. Definitely not subtle.
Yes, good job
The thrawn scene was perfect ruhk, paelion and my boy all together absolutely loved it 😩. The dialogue by Lars was flawless the chills he can simply give by speaking the simplest of things is incredible and again the man. Does. Not. Blink.🤣
Morgan Elsbeth's story went from dark, to really dark then went pitch black. Also was so cool to meet Nerd Chronic on Friday. We were chatting him up about his work and that man is a machine.
I believe he edits Imon_Snow's reactions too. Fair play.
"Really good that they went and got those weaponsNOOOOFUCK!"
"Instantly dead."
That was a really good laugh.
Awesome how you guys saw that Morgan recreated her trauma in her final ep. That is what this first three makes so compelling, the deadly weight of unresolved trauma...
Awesome how they noticed something that was meant to be noticed?
Showing us the Mountain Clan takes the Night Sisters all the way back to Legends, when not all of the Witches of Dathomir were considered dark siders. Love when they bring stuff back.
That 1 maintenance crew that had to repaint all the Venators.
“What a time to be a Star Wars fan!”
Exactly! I lived through 20+ years of waiting for new Star Wars films. TV shows were not even thought about. Can you say “Holiday Special”?
Not sure if you heard the voice of the person responding to the New Republic's distress call in the end but, if you watch the last episode with subtitles, the voice you hear responding to the distress call is Bo-Katan.
Through this reaction, I realized the shot of Wing just before the title card (in The Path of Hate) is a bookend with the final shot of Morgan. There's a lot of nice echoing and layering through the six episodes IMO.
I definitely appreciate Morgan more after this. And not only is her story tragic in its own right, but it kind of follows as a cycle from Ventress wanting revenge on Dooku.
Enjoy the reaction! Just ignore the fact that it says "THE BAD BATCH" up there 😅😭
😂 LOL Noted. By the way did you checked the reels Star Wars released today? Will not spoil anything. But buckle up.
First the "Tales of the Jedi" then "Tales of the Empire" next we should have "Tales of the Clones" staring Cody and Wolf and connecting the pieces of the missing puzzle of what happened to them that's what we are all dying to know what happened to them don't you think.
@@dariencarlson1019 Sounds great. I would rather a full 3 seasons of "Rex" (as well as "Ventress" and "Merrin", "Sabine" and now also "Barris" xD) and a Tales of The Rebelion cause need to know first of all how Hera rescued C1-10P and Chopper started call her Mom, how Luthen and Loni Jung started, what and when separated Jynn Erso from Saw Gerrera, how Chirrut and Basse met on Jedah, the origins of Kallus and Zeb and the g e n 0 c 1 d e of Lassath People "not" by Kallus but showing us what really happened. Again just me. I need to see more of Cody of Course and Rex and all Clones. I agree of course a Tales of the Clones with a Mayday Origin Short that makes it even more impactful that season 2 of the Batch, Wow! And we need to know what happened to Emeri with Ryo Chuchi led by Echo, last Domino standing. Maybe Cody on Kenobi 2! And please aren't we on desperate urge of knowing more about the Mountain Clan? Kyle, bro... You just said it properly right before they say they were "The Clan"... Was that Majik Mother of Mountain Clan used against the droids? 🥂🍷🍾 Cheers, mates! 🍻🍺🍻 May the Force Be With You All
My bad ya’ll! 😅
Great tie in to Mandalorian/Ahsoka with Bo-Katan Kryze’s voice in the New Republic Ambassador’s distress signal device that Morgan destroyed at the end.
Bo-Katan was the voice of help.
"I'll just casually ask this mad dictator with her small army of assassin droids to step down or I'll arrest her. She wouldn't dare try anything with these 6 inattentive guards by my side."
It still blows my mind that the actress who plays Elsbeth is Bruce Lee’s goddaughter.
Hold up what your serious right now?
@@patriotamerican3426 Yep, her father was one of Bruce’s teachers who eventually studied Jeet Kune Do under him.
Diana Lee Insanto, daughter of Danny Insanto
These shorts were definitely my favourite of Tales of the Empire. I liked the Barriss ones too but I really felt like I understood Morgan so much more after watching these episodes. It's interesting to compare her with Merrin, another Nightsister survivor who started down the same path Morgan did but turned away from it and found a different way to deal with her losses, which Morgan never does. Seeing Grievous unleashed with that new animation model was awesome and honestly he was haunting in this. I loved hearing Sidious' words echoed from him. It's also just cool that we saw Pelleaon, Rukh and Morgan all together in one place. Thrawn's three most best known agents in both Canon and Legends. That fight was dope and I loved the scene afterwards with Thrawn. A perfect display of what sets him apart from other Imperials. Her last short felt like a prelude to The Jedi in Mando and it sets the stage really, showing how far Morgan has fallen.
The Morgan Elsbeth TOTE arc really is some complete peak Star WARS villain arc
beside the deliciousness of getting badass horror Grievous served which also felt like 2x badass just because he wears his cape during the duel.
Those ISD's in this animation are just too gorgeous! Cant wait to see more of them in the future.
Did I need to see this backstory? No. But I loved every minute. It was just really interesting to get more insight into this character.
We’ve seen Order 66 used as a terrifying turning point in history, but the Dooku’s attack of Dathomir has similar vibes and it is good to see it animated with the sexy new stuff
They repeated the musical theme from Order 66 when all of the Jedi are being killed. Which is a reminder that the rise of the Sith wasn't just the end for the Jedi and the Republic, its an existential threat for any group that could be a threat to Palpatine's rule, light or dark.
The violin in the scene where she sees her town on fire reminds me of Schindler's list...
Holocaust for children.
Damn, the animation was absolutely amazing. Cannot believe how beautiful they can make it all look. Great reaction as always guys ❤
Nadura called Bo Katan which is what brought Ashoka here just fyi, its Bo's VA on that communicator
I don't think she specifically called Bo. Pretty sure the Mandalorians aren't officially working with the New Republic in any capacity, I think Nadura just sent out a mayday and Bo happened to be in the area and heard it.
Loved Thrawn in this. Lars has such a perfect voice . I just wish that in live action his lines were better-more like this. He’s so controlled and aware. Such a treat
They talked right through Bo-Katan answering the distress call.
Oh you mean the half a second you hear her voice? How dare they.
If they ever do a season 2 I hope it'll be about Vader and Moff Gideon
It absolutely works like that. You reveal yourself, you open yourself up for attack.
An enemy not knowing you exist is key to survival. The mountain clan mother knew this.
You go looking for trouble... returning to the battlefield.
I really liked this contrast between these pacifist witches and those like Mother Talsin who loves to meddle, plot, and use others to create drama amongst those who are both her enemies and allies.
Bindu was talking but the voice answering distress is Bo Katan
They made the droids and grievous comical in the original but both were cold and horrific in this!
So, the mother superior says to Morgan how her path is set and she feels sorry for her because she sees where it leads. This hits especially hard when you read the episode names:
The Path of Fear
The Path of Anger
The Path of Hate
"Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, and hate...leads to suffering."
Why is everyone acting like this is some deep hidden message lol
At the point of the third episode, Morgan has already heard the call from her Sisters in the other galaxy, which she references. The people of the planet are providing the resources that are being used to build the Eye they use in Ahsoka to zip over to the other galaxy. It all makes sense now. These little shorts are so great to fill in details.
Hearing Bo Katan was a nice touch!
I enjoyed the Morgan Arc , seeing the events leading to Ahsokas arrival! Well done
Many thanks to Kyle, Bendu and Nerd Chronic! 📜 Yes, Wing T. Chao who played 'Wing' in THE MANDALORIAN also voiced him in TALES OF THE EMPIRE.
Totally COOL. I hope to see him reprise the role in the live-action stories of The Mandoverse.
@@anthonyyoutubefan7567 I suppose anything's possible, Anthony. Maybe someone will have to go back to Calodan for some reason and need to speak to the governor... who is likely still 'Wing'. I guess time will tell.
Welcome friends, our Members of the Mountain Clan!
🫡
While all Nightsisters are Witches of Dathomir, not all Witches of Dathomir are Nightsisters.
Big round of applause as more fragments of the EU iceberg float to the top where they belong.
The droid Bluetooth was a thing in episode.1. But after anakin was able to take out the entire command ship completely disabling the entire army on naboo. They switch to an independent droid by droid basis.
Great reacrions to some great story telling.
I love the titles of these three episodes - the pathway to suffering, which also serves as the narritive of Morgan's decent into a darker path.
So much to love here. Off to the Barriss stories!
Light sisters….crazy
Morgan is crazy and idk why that ambassador thought they could arrest her like a formal nightsister and a highly skilled fighter, also when she had that whole forest set on fire that’s crazy
New Republic "ambassador": we are here to ask you to join the New Republic but you have to quit first
Morgan: no
New Republic "ambassador": we're going to arrest you
Who gives her the right and why did she think that'll go well lmao
Rukh appearing sure shocked me. On how much do we bet he moved to a staff because of their fight? But the fact that Morgan's magic had faded is shocking, as Merrin could still use it, but perhaps it is due to her stone and later her spear. Or the magick of the mountain clan intermingled and cancelled the already dying green mist.
I was surprised Morgan had the spear before meeting Thrawn because I thought for sure it would have been something Thrawn would have had in his collection & gave her as a gift. I was wrong.
The ambassador thought Corvus already knew about the fall of the Empire, and that there might be a better reception with Morgan understanding she didn't have Imperial backing for her tyranny. She didn't know that Morgan would retain her iron grip and not let anyone know, keeping them subservient. So, she didn't go with the expectation of a fight. And, she was probably like so many others in the New Republic in thinking that the Imperial remnants were scattered and powerless.
09:51 Man, this brought back memories from Legends, we had the Singing Mountains Clan, the Frenzied River Clan and the Red Hills Clan... this could be a reference to the Red Hill Clan, even though the whole outbound of the Village reminds me of the Finging mountain Clan as described in The Courtship of Princess Leia.
I absolutely love this. Everything is perfect. My only critique is the way Thrawns motives are portrayed in all of the Disney content. In Zahns two new trilogies, it is told that Thrawns entire mission infiltrating the Empire is to find an ally to help defend the Chiss Ascendancy. But with the Disney content, it makes it out that Thrawn is just in it to become the new "King of the Imperials"... There doesn't seem to be any concern on Thrawns part about getting back to his people to defend them from the Gryskk.... Idk, I just think that it makes Thrawn a little one-dimensional when he could have a lot more layers to his motives for why he's trying to obtain military power. BUT these stories are AWESOME! Love the reactions. Keep up the good work!
He is an Admiral then becomes Grand Admiral
I enjoyed Morgan's story. It was dark. I especially loved seeing Grievous. And Thrawn as well. Thank You for the reaction!
She wasn’t wearing war paint in the first episode they were tattoos that disappeared because the night sister magic no longer was working after the massacre (so they were magic tattoos)
And thats a great touch. Showing that her clan is gone, and a permanent reminder on her face, of that.
The tactical battle droids could “learn” very well.
As usual very good Kyle that was Thrawn testing you are first to catch that
There is a "fourth part": The Mandalorian, "Chapter 13: The Jedi" -- we see the citizens suffering.
Your brief discussion about AI in droids made me think of two of my favorite book series:
Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson
The Fear Saga by Stephen Moss
Great commentary and discussion as always. Looking forward to seeing your reactions to The Acolyte.
When you put your subtitles on it was Bo katan on the mic
40:38 I am absolutely certain that was the voice of Bo Katan Kryze
Been waiting to see y’all seeing this.
Wookiepedia categorized this, as a second season of "Star Wars: Tales", Jedi being season 1
I was really hoping to see Ventress and Merrin in this first episode.
9:35 Not Only SWG (at least someone quote this game !!! ) But also maybe the Singin Mountain Clan... From the "Princess Leia's Wedding" remember ?
I like how the Mountain Clan is more like the Jedi and the Night Sisters are more like the Sith. I hope we get to see more of Dathomir in the future. It would appear that everyone on the planet has an affinity to the Force. Dathomirians like the Jedi and Sith, have differing philosophies and practices and use the Force in different ways. The difference here, however, is that the Mountain Clan and the Night sisters left each other alone seemingly.
15:44 That and the Droid Commander, no?
16:44 That probably answers Bendu's question (or was it your question?) about why the Assassin Droid didn't just crush Morgan's neck when it had the chance. The Trade Federation was mass-producing hundreds of thousands of droids, constantly replacing the ones they lost in countless battles the galaxy over. While they had a lot of wealth, they like the Empire we know, only put as much money into a project that was necessary and not a penny more. For the most part, they defeated their enemies with their numbers, not skill. At least the Assassin Droid knew to look up when looking for Morgan, lol. Regular Battle Droids would have kept marching forward.
16:45 Really? Some of them have so much personality, though. C-3PO, R2-D2, Chopper, L3-37, K-2SO, and BB-8 were much more than their programming. R2-D2 often went beyond the duties of what we saw Astromechs do--R2 often came to the aid of his friends; we saw him actually solve problems. Most droids after the Clone Wars were different, probably because of the droid army, and that's probably why they seem more robotic. People throughout the galaxy feared them. So much so that restraining bolts were created to suppress the ability of droids. A New Hope shows that prejudice towards droids goes as far as the Outer Rim, so they left a mark on the galaxy, a very large one ='(
What I like most about Morgan's story is her need to stay the offensive while not sacrificing on defense. She's also looking for her place in the galaxy, befriending those around her, but her ambition to succeed keeps those around her at arm's length. How would her story have turned out if someone had just given her a hug?
I hate how the New Republic has been shown so far. However, it seems to be an overcorrection of those who opposed the Empire and going to the extreme pacifist route. They think that their victory was so complete that the Empire has no one that will secretly still have loyalty to it or that it could rise again. 'You're overconfidence is your weakness'.
The Corvus people were ready to turn on Morgan the second they had a setback. I don't condone her actions, but they kind of had it coming.
If you look at the credits you see that the new republic distress signal went out to Bo-Katan
Got to meet Diana Lee Inosanto at FanExpo on Saturday (as well as meeting Alan Tudyk and Dee Bradley Baker and seeing Hayden and Rosario give a panel)! Such a nice woman who loved interacting with fans (she complimented me on my Star Wars and Calvin &Hobbes mash up shirt). Also talked a bit with her about the episodes which was cool :)
Really liked the expansion of Morgan's backstory, seeing a new faction on Dathomir and the Thrawn Pellaeon and Rukh appearance (shame they weren't all on screen together). I'm annoyed about the retcon to "Thrawn Treason" but I love the Thrawn & Pellaeon duo so much I'm willing to overlook it for more scenes of them working together.
The Grievous fight was amazing. Found a fan edit already that added inGrievous' 2003 theme and it made the sequence even better.
LFG!!!!!
Tales of the Empire really showcased why Morgan came to power slowly, from the massacre of her people to being a magistrate is tragic, but intriguing nonetheless.
Not as memorable as Tales of the Jedi, but still fun.
!!spoilers if you do not have read the Thrawn books!!
I think someone did't do there homework. Thrawn was an admiral when he gets the 7 fleet and get's promoted to grand admiral, right before the start of rebels season 3 and the captain of the chimera at that time was "Karyn Faro" throughout book 1 & 2. Captain pellaeon joins thrawn in book 3 and that is in the finally of rebels.
Is it wrong to say that I am gonna have to change my pants after seeing that Grievous design?
Interesting detail 🧐 I think Griveous only shows 3 lightsabers here cause he lost a hand to ventress in their duel, you also don’t see any zombie sisters so it must be after
Thanks for reminding me that the Mountain Clan turn up in Galaxies Kyle - I wasn't sure as I was just talking about this last night; and I was sure that they did! Thanks for confirming!
The politics of the empire was crazy
Did you notice it was Bo Katan that answered the distress signal.
Im surprised yall didnt catch Bo Katan answering the distress call..
Hahahah yeah is not common but sometimes they get too excited and talk over some stuff. But don't worry, they are huge nerds and will watch the episodes again, and relize it then.
Glad to see your reaction to these episodes.
For me, the most interesting part, other then Thrawn, Rukh and Grevious, was seeing the Mountain Clan for the first time. So much when it comes to Dathamir has focused on the Nightsisters, and while I love the expanded and changing lore for the Nightsisters, I am happy to see the "Light Side" Witches of Dathamir as well.
With all these newer and expanded stories for Dathamir, and with Ahsoka, it confirmed how ancient they are, I can ask this but know it will sadly never happen. Star Wars the Old Republic, give us Witches of Dathamir as playable classes!
I love the looks of the New Republic guards. It makes me so excited for a New Republic series with two story arcs. One focusing on New Republic, the other on Luke’s Jedi Order
So cool seeing live action to animation
Truly Loved This backstory I Never knew I needed 😂 You sometimes forget how bad Dothomir got it🔥💀 Really Awesome Actress kick's @$$ on screen and Off 💚☯️👊 Stay awesome guys
40:45 While you were both taliking did you notice it was Bo Katan's Voice fromm the communicator ?
The mountain clan's magic was similar to Cere's Force ability in Jedi Survivor.
The voice on the signal was Bo Katan per the closed caption.
Was Morgan building the Hipper-ring in the final part of this show
on thing I am still asking myself: she wants revenge, ok, but of whom? in what way brings joining the empire her closer to her revenge on whoever she wants to take revenge on, I mean there are no seperatists or droids anymore. that really bugs me
The "mountain mother" was using the same barrier/shockwave skill that Cere Junda used in Jedi Survivor or at least a very similar skill. 😁
Because of the extra lore it brought with this new clan of light side witches of Danthomir i think episode 1 was the best out of those 3. Plus seeing Grievious being a actual menance in combat. 😈
Also that warning about the doomed path Morgan choose. Amazing episode.
Episode 2 only hightlight for me was Thrawn, Paleon and that great fighting sequence of Morgan vs Rukh, while episode 3 added very little when compared to the others.
Awesome catch on that ability that was used👌🏻maybe the mountain clan is a bit more in tune with the force rather than it being a form of magic
her full title is West Virginia Mountain Mama
Hahaha i am playing Fallout 76 right now and lost count of how many times i heard that music.😂
thrawn look so much better then he did in rebels morgans episodes are my favorite and the shot of the isd with the venator almost looked like live action wich i asume is a few years after order 66 i always asumed the empire would still have some venators arround as part of the defense fleet over corusant not sure when thrawn became an admiral
Who would win? Morgan Elsbeth, or Merrin? Battle of the last Nightsisters!
It's even more devastating that Sidious had a contingency to destroy the New Republic if the Empire failed to crush the Rebel Alliance: Disband the Empire, only recruit loyal Imperials to the Unknown Regions, and infiltrate the New Republic and dismantle it from within. I like Legends more because the New Republic felt more competent.
I feel like they based the characters on 3D adaptations of the Gendy series and that’s why Dooku is so…. Odd. And honestly why everyone from early on is so pointy. Like palpatine looks nothing like Ian in clone wars but in the late seasons they tried to round out his design a bit. I digress but I think if they saw the trajectory of the series his design would have been more realistic
You have no idea!!! how hard it was to bite my tongue in Disneyland and not talk to you about this series! Glad yall have experienced it!! Also look back at the frame when Morgan fighting Rukh, as she holds her staff to the side using her right arm, I'm 100% sure that shot is an homage to a shot from Enter the Dragon. Starring Bruce Lee... Diana's Godfather! Poetry!! Love that fight and that episode. Now... yall aint ready for the next 3!
Ahh you knew exactly how much I was gonna freak out the whole time haha. It was great seeing you man!
I mentioned it before but I will say it again for anyone else that's interested. First the "Tales of the Jedi" then "Tales of the Empire" next on in my opinion should be "Tales of the Clones" staring Cody and Wolf. Since the last time we saw both of them we all heard that Cody went awall in S2 Ep3 but what does that mean exactly did Cody did defect or is it code for executed this the big Question hovering over our heads. And Wolf we all saw him letting Rex and the Batch go in S3 Ep7 these are unanswered Questions we all want to know don't anybody agree.
I agree with Kyle in Epsoide 2 about the time jump thing. But that doesnt mean were far into the empire cause we still ventor's and stuff. In my opinion I would say were still 5 or 10 years before the battle of scarif aka the first battle between the Rebles and Empire.
I really liked this show, I only wish it was a bit longer. Now the wait for season 2!
29:25 Seriously I love your game culture on starwars !
Positives first - i love Grievous being shown as, essentially, the monster in a Slasher-film. Relentless, brutal, unstoppable, ruthless, bloodlusted and reveling in carnage, destruction and slaughter. And for me, personally, i could always reconcile his usual depiction in TCW as appearing seemingly cowardly with his initial appearance in the OG CW-cartoon. To me, they are pretty much the same character and his portrayal here proves it. When he runs away in TCW, he does exactly what Dooku taught him, which was, more or less, to press the attack as long as he has fear and intimidation through psychological warfare and the initiative and surprise on his side, as long as his victims are off-kilter and frightened, but that he's better of retreating once he looses this advantage, something he'll eventually do when going up against Jedi, trained to center themselves and master their fear.
On the other side... i'm not gonna lie, i wasn't the biggest fan of this entire arc. Looking back, i feel it's lacking and didn't really add anything new, except the smallest details, that we didn't already know, neither to Morgan's story nor the overarcing, larger ongoing SW-story. We already knew she was a Nightsister who survived the purge of Dathomir, we already knew she eventually was taken under Thrawn's wing, we knew she was a tyrant on Corvus that exploited the planet and terrorized its citizens, we new she eventually had visions that set her on the path we see unfold in Mandalorian and Ahsoka. And whatever new things it added to the parts of her story we already knew about kinda annoyed me, i'll be honest. Like her turning out to be the mastermind behind the TIE-Defenderm. Meanwhile, the things that would have been really interesting to learn about - at least for me - like how she managed to take over an entire system as an apolitical outsider from a remote world. Or how she accumulated the ressources for her HK-army, something she probably did before coming to Corvus. How she got the spear. How the Great Mothers from Peridea contacted her and what visions they sent her.
Not trying to be a downer here, sorry. It's not that i didn't enjoy the arc - it's more Star Wars, after all - or that it was bad, per se, but in the end, it felt like a bit of a waste of three episodes in a rare installment of a series that could have been used better otherwises, at least in my opinion.
And yeah, the New Republic was, for the most part and according to all we know about it so far, very much key in bringing about its own end. With foolish actions like dismantling their military (especially after they came up with apparent naval powerhouses like the Starhawks), they tried SO HARD not to be the Empire, they made it easy for a new one to replace them.
I enjoyed the series as a whole, but it felt very lackluster in comparison to Tales of the Jedi. Maybe they played it too safe, I dunno. The Morgan stuff was ok, didn't quite pan out the way the Trailer presented it to be honest. I'll get into Bariss during that next reaction video.
And Nah, plenty of people were like Morgan's a Night Sister after her very first appearance. It only took like 2-1/2 years to have that confirmed.
I loved seeing Thrawn, Rukh, and Pellaeon again. I know some fans complain about canon cherry-picking Timothy Zahn's EU novels but as a massive Zahn fan myself I think the fact that Dave keeps pulling from them is a testament to how lasting of a legacy he's left on the franchise. And to how good the _Heir to the Empire_ books were (and still are). Like yeah, we're not getting a 1:1 adaptation (although tbh it'd still be badass to see Mara) but contrary to the "they're disrespecting Zahn" argument I think it's actually the opposite. Imo if Dave didn't love and respect the guy he wouldn't keep referencing his work in every project now lol. When I write my own stories, if I admire another writer's work I _want_ to reference it a lot to kind of pay homage to them even if I'm doing something different. Anyway I thought this Thrawn in particular was spot-on to how Zahn originally portrayed him. Playing 4D chess, sending Rukh and Pellaeon to size up Morgan, and only appearing when he was sure he wanted to form an alliance
Also I was not expecting Kyle to make a Jonestown connection of all things but honestly you're not wrong 😕
I have been looking forward for this
You guys were too busy blabbing and missed Bo-Katan answering the distress call. 😅
That explains how she knows Ahsoka was there. This most likely takes place just days before the Mando episode.
