THIS EPISODE WAS AWESOME!! Star Wars just keeps getting better!! THANK YOU DISNEY, FILONI AND KATHLEEN KENNEDY!! And the haters who cry with their childish hatred =D
this is funny, but just worth pointing out that Shin clearly heard some sort of thunder that occurred when the map was removed from the pedestal. So she then knew that she had to get back to the henge to help defend the map, rather than stall Sabine. And it kind of worked, because she got the henge before Sabine, causing Ahsoka to think Sabine is dead and lose balance.
Marrok dying in cloud of dark-green smoke is totally mirroring Savage Opress' death. So there is a big chance whomever Marrok was, he was infused with some Nightsister magic himself.
I agree and unlike Savage there is a nightsister that might be able to bring Marrok because because I believe night sister magic is what is keeping him alive
@@darthdracul8372 that's a good question I still believe they are someone important but who well it could be starkiller or someone else important we don't know about for all we know it was Ezra controlled by nightsister magic and Ahsoka just killed him
This episode was perfect. The fight choreography, the scenery on Seatos, everything was on point. The New Republic fleet scene was amazing. The Ghost in live action with Jacen sitting in Kanan's seat & then the World Between Worlds. I was not expecting it at all. Hearing Hayden call Ahsoka "Snips" was something I never expected to hear in live action. The music at the end makes it likely that "Anakin" isn't a force ghost Anakin but a vision of Anakin who will turn into Darth Vader. He's already got Vader's lightsaber as well. Dave Filoni is directing next week's episode so you know it's going to be epic.
he doesn't. That's his episode 3 lightsaber, the clamp above the grip isn't black, it's silver like his RotS hilt and theres a bronze red button lower near the emitter
@@animezabergeck2306 😰 All I wanted was a nice, happy reunion between master and apprentice/surrogate siblings and/or father and daughter. Was that too much to ask!?
@@animezabergeck2306I hope this would be a redeemed anikan but idk I have a bad feeling maybe it's nothing but hearing the imperial march and seeing anikan with Vader's saber, and maybe a de-aged Anikan idk. But I would like to think it was him that pulled an Ezra and pulled her into the world between worlds. Overall damn over the episode.
@@TheMimiSard It could also be part of a trial that Knights Ahsoka at the end of it. Maybe they will fight and that's the outcome. Similar to Kanan facing the Jedi Grand Inquisitor phantom in his trial.
@@Paul_Ridgeway Yea I think it is, just not in the way the prequels were - it isn't all acrobatics and derring-do but a lot of dramatic build up and poses/positioning. Very samurai-esque.
@@Paul_RidgewayThe fights in this are much more realistic than those in the sequels and even in some of the prequels. There's no wild swinging and leaving yourself exposed to strikes by doing cool maneuvers. It's calculated, precise, much more physical, and close-up. Definitely something that you'd expect from two seasoned force users in their 40s and 50s. If you don't have the patience to handle it, then that's not Filoni's fault; it's yours. Also, lol at calling him a hack and childish when he's done more consequential things in a couple of projects than you have in your entire existence.
@@Paul_Ridgeway So Lucas is a hack too? Since these are how the OT fights went, the slow buildup, the testing each others moves and slow paced nature of the fights. The only one that wasn't was ROTJ and that's because Luke struck Palpatine out of anger and Vader went on an offensive to bring him away. Ben and Vader speak for a minute before actually engaging with eachother, the same with Luke and Vader on Bespin. Why is it suddenly bad now? Is it because of prequel rot where everyone was leaping around and spinning rather than the way the duels were originally envisioned by Lucas? As slow standoffs where the loser is the one who fails the mental battle before hand?
They look very stagey though like I move you move, i move you move. They lack the aggression and fluidity of good lightsaber fights. Although ahsoka v baylon definitely had some cool moments.
Lot to love this episode: - Huyang continuing to be awesome and getting into a "Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots" boxing match at one point. - Seeing the Ghost in live action and not in the background - Carson Teva! - Ahsoka taking down Marrok with one swing ala an old samurai film and Nightsister Magick pouring out of his wounds - Baylan. Enjoyed his fight with Ahsoka, both how his fighting style is reminiscent of a medieval knight like Vader and the weight he puts into his blows. Also really liked how he's cordial to his enemies. There were hints of Palpatine in his tempting Sabine but he's seems generally sincere in his offer. - The effects of the Eye of Sion's hyperspeed jump on the X-Wings. - Hayden and Rosario finally playing Skyguy and Snips in live action!
Kyle and I had almost exactly the same reaction at the end. Making us wait a week for the next episode is beyond savagery. What an amazing episode, and Ray Stevenson got a real chance to flex his acting muscles at length. RIP to a legend.
Sabine loosing her family to the empire’s attack on Mandalor definitely lends to the reason why she and Ahsoka fell out. She feared training someone with anger like it was something to avoid because of what happened to Anakin so Tano walked away like when passing on teaching Grogu.
And Ahsoka's duel with Baylon. The way they circle each other, Ahsoka's stance at the beginning there, with her saber in readiness for a counterstrike. Straight out of "Seven Samurai".
@@Nergalsama01Yes! I loved their duel. Years of experience showing in the economy of movement. No wasted motion. Compare that to Sabine and Shin; faster paced and Sabine's technique needing more time to develop. This was an amazing episode.
@@Aer_Marique Vader never struck this hard at Ahsoka either. Which is interesting because he certainly strikes at Kenobi that hard in their first post ROTS encounter. Maybe because Vader/Anakin doesn't exactly hold Ahsoka leaving against her because she was betrayed by the Jedi, Vader just wants her gone to get rid of a connection to his past life, rather than real hate and animosity for her.
35:08 My theory is that Ahsoka has a good portion of the map burnt to her left hand (definitely a homage to Raiders of the lost Ark) and Huyang should be able to extrapolate the missing piece or maybe the purrgil will help them mid-way, course correcting them.
I'm a little worried that Baylan's story arc will not be wrapped up in this season and therefore how in the world will they continue it in season 2 with Ray passing away? He's so damn good in this and completely stole the show in this episode and just want to see more from him.
If he's not killed off within this season, they'll have to kill him off-screen between seasons. Same thing Marvel did for Black Panther when Chadwick Boseman unexpectedly died.
Baylan is definitely a master tactician. He uses his surroundings to his advantage to unbalance his opponent, even verbal manipulation, doesn't give in to negotiation (even though I suspect he knew the orb was blaster proof) and he immediately deals with any lingering threats (Ahsoka) before manipulating the lesser threats into assisting him, and finally, destroying any means of locating him/them.
The episode is always so much better when i watch you guys react to it. Awesome!... love you guys and how much emotion and knowledge you add to each and every episode.
Awesome reaction! Kyle's face when he realized it was the World Between Worlds, and the subsequent choke, was awesome! I did tear up a little. Nah, that's a lie, I cried, lol.
I was impressed with the progression and details in Baylen's conversation with Sabine. He holsters his saber, brings up her lost family (highlighting that with Ashoka gone she has no one left in this galaxy and the only person she may have left is Erza), then reaches out an open hand as we have seen from several other Sith and villains in Star Wars. Very nicely done.
The smile that Hayden gives in combo with the de-aging really gives Clone Wars vibes with the snarky grin he always gave Ahsoka. Then it cuts back to Ahsoka looking the most like her Clone Wars self they've done in Live Action
Theory: because of how he died and the fact Shin looked horrified, I think Marrock is the first name of the Sixth brother. The fact that there was force screeching when he faded to black and green mist was because he was resurrected in a sense (as much as a sentient cloud can be) and it was akin to the nightsister ghosts getting angry.
I had the same reaction seeing the Ghost with Phoenix Squadron in front of Home One.. My body was not ready.. this episode was "chef's kiss" perfection.
‘Are you ready best friend?’ No sir none of us were. Dave Filoni is the director for the next episode so I’m slightly hyperventilating thinking about next Tuesday. Purgyll are coming in for the save. Maybe since Carson is there, he puts a call to a certain Mando with a green son who likes to talk to animals. Also, part of me wants Mando to give Ashoka a bit of a middle finger about Grogu.
Fun fact: from what we can see, the lightsaber at Anakin's belt isn't his lightsaber from his time as a Jedi. It's VADER'S saber, that paired with the imperial march at the end says that there's something out of place
"You're reckless little one. You never would've made it as Obi-wan's padawan..........but you might make it as mine." - Anakin Oh how far we've come. Next episode can't get here fast enough
I love, Love, LOVE watching your Star Wars reactions in particular. Thank you for being one of the 2 very best Star Wars nerds out there!! You n Blind Wave are my absolute favorite Star Wars nerds!! I love learning all the things from yous twos!! THANK YOU!! @27:27 - your face ---> PRICELESS!! and even more so when she finally sees him.
All the feels at the end of the episode. 😭 Even as a young kid in the late 80’s growing up Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 when I saw the original trilogy on VHS with zero knowledge of what Star Wars was, I still get the very same teary eyed feels with the Force Ghosts at the end of Return of the Jedi… from the original Ewok Yub Nub song and Original Darth Vader Force Ghost Sebastian Shaw to now Hayden 💔😭 I started to sob when I heard “Hello Snips”, then the reveal of beautiful Anakin and I wept through the credits 😭 Loving the Ahsoka series and cannot wait for each Tuesday and then each Wednesday for your reaction/review Kyle Katarn & The Bendu 🥰🥰
Agree...fans keep on hating when things don't turn out to be what THEY think or want it to be. Glad all theories were wrong. Even with Mando and Andor I hear so much hate from fans because this doesn't feel like Star Wars or to many women in a single episode like...this is an amazing time to be a Star Wars fan. So much cool and different content...sit back and enjoy people.
Yeeeeeeesss. But on top of that we also learned he's conjured by a nightsister. So there are possibilities we could see an army of those! I never bought the starkiller and ezra theories man. They're too fanfiction and thank you DAAAAAVEE!!!
Ahsoka using what appears to be more traditional samurai swordsmanship is really interesting to see. It’s a massive departure from her younger style of high speed, high agility dual reverse grips, but makes sense for someone older, wiser and more experienced. And now her shoto saber appears to have taken on the role more similar to a samurai’s tanto.
The Fight Between Ahsoka and Baylan visually appeared to be like a swordfight between a Samurai and a Knight in thers of fighting styles, stances, and even their lightsaber hilts and I only realized that watching this video, I just love the differences between different lightsaber forms, Ahsoka as a Practitioner of Shien or form V(5) relied quickly defending and deflecting your opponents attacks while simultaneously being able to transition just as quickly to a series of rapid strikes to catch an enemy off guard, although with one lightsaber it shows a bit more of the Djem So as Shien was the Dual Wielding variant, Djem So relied more on reserving as much movement as possible for what little is needed for attacking and defending. Baylan on the other hand appears to be holding Form IV(4) or Ataru stationary stances, like Qui Gon, his attack patern also suggested he was using Djem So more than the Acrobatic Ataru, although with Prequel Era lightsaber fighting and choreography it gets harder to tell, especially with a fully trained and uninjured Jedi Knight Survivor of Order 66, who would very likely have at least one Form that he would Specialize in and at least know enough about the first 3 Forms to Train Shin to a level where she can easily beat/match with Sabine. (Sabine was rusty and out of practice but she's still a fully trained Mandalorian with at least 10 years or so of wartime experience and some Jedi training even.) It really shows that you really can't compare Jedi to one another very easily because fighting as a Jedi is as much of philosophical debate as much as it is a physical fight, as Djem So is a back and forth match of Psychology as well as fighting ability as seen when Baylan provokes Ahsoka into multiple states of unbalanced emotions, at least by Jedi terms, kinda like the same way Kenobi beat Anakin on Mustafar and in the Training flashback in the Kenobi show but that's more Kenobi being a smartass/person rather than being part of his Lightsaber Form, as Form III(3) doesn't use provocations of any kind but is rather who Kenobi is. (This next part is my own opinion and how I view this fight.) The point I'm trying to make is even with a fight that seems to use the same lightsaber Form as the primary stance for both fighters, that being Djem So, both former Jedi ready for a Standoff both Physically and Mentally take this primarily as they have goals they want to accomplish and they want to control the tempo of this fight, but their Stances, Ahsoka's Samurai attack positions and Baylan's Stoic Knight defensive positions shows their determination to set the pace. But unlike Ahsoka, Baylan seem to change forms mid-fight and you can see him using some Ataru stances and strikes like Qui Gon when Ahsoka has fully set her own pacing and is actively winning the fight up until she get injured after impatiently and in the moment attains her goal and injures herself but is still able to fend Baylan off until she looses her focus after Shin appears, causing her the believe Sabine could be injured or dead, this is When Baylen goes back to Djem So Stance with a quick Series of Strong attacks (not as quick as before but Ahsoka's hurt, she's not going to block as fast either). If anyone reads this sorry for the rant and thank you for taking the time to read this, I love discussing the different Philosophies of the Lightsaber Forms.
26:49 The purgill are the only thing that I can think of. Without the map, only they would know the way. Problem is: who can communicate with them? Ezra is at the end of the journey, and Ahsoka has other problems right now. Looks like Sabine is on her own.
I think she's legitimately going with Baylan to find Ezra--but is also giving her location so she can be followed by the whole Republic Fleet. Sabine is conflicted, but she's also a super-competent, potentially force-sensitive badass.
The scene where Sabine hands over the map is a masterclass in how to manipulate the audience. It does two things to try to trick the audience into thinking Sabine might not actually give him the map. First it cuts to a wide shot and backs away slowly. Audience's have been trained to expect interference from a third party when this kind of shot happens in a scene like this. Second, they do the close-up hand off scene really slowly, another shot that audiences have been trained to expect some kind of interference by an outside party to affect the scene. Yet, nothing intervenes and she does in fact hand the map over. It's really smart cinematography.
Those fights were EPIC! This entire episode was epic! Not gonna lie, when I heard “hello Snips” I legit started to tear up. The de-aging did look a little off but I was still freaking out that we saw them in live action together!! I’m so glad they introduced Anakin in the series BEFORE Thrawn! I swear, if Anakin starts talking about or referencing Luke and Leia with Ashoka (more than likely Luke since him and Ashoka have obviously met) and Ashoka starts talking to Anakin about him, I’m gonna absolutely lose my mind. I can not wait for the next episode!
Carson is great, but there is no reason why Wedge himself couldn't show up. He did appear in Rebels too, so here's hoping we actually get the real deal at some point.
That shot of Shin and Sabine fighting in the background of Sabine's helmet shot seems like it was Sabine leaving her Mandalorian side behind and embracing the jedi side
I fully believe Marrok was a Nightsister zombie. The green smoke and the way he died and the sound design was very reminiscent of the zombies on Dathomir. My assumption is that he was an Inquisitor who died during the war and was resurrected by Morgan. HOWEVER, Shin had a sort of visceral reaction to his death, as though he was more than a pawn. Which further leads me to assume he may have been either Baylin's former Padawan before Order 66, who was taken and made into an Inquisitor, which contributed to his own fall (similar to Cere and Trilla) OR he may have been Baylin's son, and Shin is not just a padawan, but his daughter thus making them siblings. She had to see him die twice. This also has me thinking about the "colored helmets" theory, where the blue/red helmets in the opening tend to always be blue for good characters and red for bad. Marrok has been blue, Sabine has been red. Maybe he gets redeemed, Sabine temporarily falls? Wild speculation time tbh

this is funny, but just worth pointing out that Shin clearly heard some sort of thunder that occurred when the map was removed from the pedestal. So she then knew that she had to get back to the henge to help defend the map, rather than stall Sabine. And it kind of worked, because she got the henge before Sabine, causing Ahsoka to think Sabine is dead and lose balance.

Awesome reaction! Kyle's face when he realized it was the World Between Worlds, and the subsequent choke, was awesome! I did tear up a little. Nah, that's a lie, I cried, lol.
You two are so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. I learn so much from you guys!
I just realized Kyle would make a great young Baylan.
This is where the fun begins

Baylan's lightsabre fighting style looked like a medieval knight swinging a long sword, & Ahsoka more like a samurai. Great fight scene.
“Hello, Snips” in Hayden’s voice got me in the feels 🥺🤧
First time I ever saw Kyle almost burst into tears! I felt the same bro!
Theory: because of how he died and the fact Shin looked horrified, I think Marrock is the first name of the Sixth brother.

And that hyperspace jump and reentry sound the Ghost makes, is one of the best sounds in Star Wars.
The entire fandom flipping out like Kyle right now. My jaw was on the floor, loudly gasped, and I had trouble sleeping last night after watching that!
The fight choreographey was by far the best in the episode, both duels and blaster deflections.
Loved seeing ani at the end
Been waiting for your reaction! What an amazing episode
Its burning hot as it's been sitting under a flame and as metal conducts heat
ahsokas face in the last shot is great its like she instantly turned back into anakins padawan again
‘Are you ready best friend?’ No sir none of us were.
Dave Filoni is the director for the next episode so I’m slightly hyperventilating thinking about next Tuesday.
Purgyll are coming in for the save. Maybe since Carson is there, he puts a call to a certain Mando with a green son who likes to talk to animals. Also, part of me wants Mando to give Ashoka a bit of a middle finger about Grogu.
Apparently its also getting a limited cinema release. Next week is going to be BIG!
I love Baylan's single word answers
Fun fact: from what we can see, the lightsaber at Anakin's belt isn't his lightsaber from his time as a Jedi. It's VADER'S saber, that paired with the imperial march at the end says that there's something out of place
Loved this episode, got chills. Always love your reactions and discussions.
Clearly the first hyper driver explorers rode the purgill like they were a sandworm from Arrakis.
“Bedknobs and broomsticks armor”. Dead on prediction made me smile because I hadn’t made that connection.
This just feels good, I don't even know why, but I am just having fun with this series. Rosario is Ahsoka more and more with each episode.
That overture at the end was perfect.
If Baylan would walk to me in the way he did when he said "that was unwise" I would voluntarily jump of that cliff
Oh & the glassing of Mandalore in relation to losing her whole family during it, validates the rift between Master & Apprentice I alluded to before.
lmao "He was powered by farts this whole time." Bless you, Kyle!
"You're reckless little one. You never would've made it as Obi-wan's padawan..........but you might make it as mine." - Anakin
Oh how far we've come. Next episode can't get here fast enough

@27:27 - your face ---> PRICELESS!! and even more so when she finally sees him.
“Is she in a purgills mouth?” 😂😂😂😂
All the feels at the end of the episode. 😭
Even as a young kid in the late 80’s growing up Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 when I saw the original trilogy on VHS with zero knowledge of what Star Wars was, I still get the very same teary eyed feels with the Force Ghosts at the end of Return of the Jedi… from the original Ewok Yub Nub song and Original Darth Vader Force Ghost Sebastian Shaw to now Hayden 💔😭
I started to sob when I heard “Hello Snips”, then the reveal of beautiful Anakin and I wept through the credits 😭
Loving the Ahsoka series and cannot wait for each Tuesday and then each Wednesday for your reaction/review Kyle Katarn & The Bendu 🥰🥰
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Map burned onto Ahsoka’s hand.
Been waiting for this Reaction all day!
I'm very happy Marrok was just Marrok. I hope this gave the community a valuable lesson to just appreciate things for what they are at face value 🤣
" I hope this gave the community a valuable lesson to just appreciate things for what they are at face value" HA! Good luck with that 🤣
Agree...fans keep on hating when things don't turn out to be what THEY think or want it to be. Glad all theories were wrong. Even with Mando and Andor I hear so much hate from fans because this doesn't feel like Star Wars or to many women in a single episode like...this is an amazing time to be a Star Wars fan. So much cool and different content...sit back and enjoy people.
Yeeeeeeesss. But on top of that we also learned he's conjured by a nightsister. So there are possibilities we could see an army of those! I never bought the starkiller and ezra theories man. They're too fanfiction and thank you DAAAAAVEE!!!
@@seabedrock it's crazy that people even entertained the possibility of Marrok being Ezra lol.
Ikr. So sick of these endless theories of him being Ezra like people are going crazy about it and come with these dumb theories.
What a move by Dave with Marrok though. There's your fan theories, up in smoke
I like that Marrok was just a random dude juiced up with Night Sister force magic. All those theories vanished in a puff of green smoke.
Baylen hits so hard, he knocked Ahsoka into the star wars version of the Backrooms
Be prepared for that to be the Mortis son playing Anakin in the world between worlds
Ya about a million people nearly started balling!
This show is truly amazing
Ahsoka using what appears to be more traditional samurai swordsmanship is really interesting to see. It’s a massive departure from her younger style of high speed, high agility dual reverse grips, but makes sense for someone older, wiser and more experienced. And now her shoto saber appears to have taken on the role more similar to a samurai’s tanto.
looks like marrok was given the old savage oppress treatment
36:14: This won’t be his final role. Ray was also in a historical film called 1242 Gateway to the West
The Fight Between Ahsoka and Baylan visually appeared to be like a swordfight between a Samurai and a Knight in thers of fighting styles, stances, and even their lightsaber hilts and I only realized that watching this video, I just love the differences between different lightsaber forms, Ahsoka as a Practitioner of Shien or form V(5) relied quickly defending and deflecting your opponents attacks while simultaneously being able to transition just as quickly to a series of rapid strikes to catch an enemy off guard, although with one lightsaber it shows a bit more of the Djem So as Shien was the Dual Wielding variant, Djem So relied more on reserving as much movement as possible for what little is needed for attacking and defending.
Baylan on the other hand appears to be holding Form IV(4) or Ataru stationary stances, like Qui Gon, his attack patern also suggested he was using Djem So more than the Acrobatic Ataru, although with Prequel Era lightsaber fighting and choreography it gets harder to tell, especially with a fully trained and uninjured Jedi Knight Survivor of Order 66, who would very likely have at least one Form that he would Specialize in and at least know enough about the first 3 Forms to Train Shin to a level where she can easily beat/match with Sabine. (Sabine was rusty and out of practice but she's still a fully trained Mandalorian with at least 10 years or so of wartime experience and some Jedi training even.)
It really shows that you really can't compare Jedi to one another very easily because fighting as a Jedi is as much of philosophical debate as much as it is a physical fight, as Djem So is a back and forth match of Psychology as well as fighting ability as seen when Baylan provokes Ahsoka into multiple states of unbalanced emotions, at least by Jedi terms, kinda like the same way Kenobi beat Anakin on Mustafar and in the Training flashback in the Kenobi show but that's more Kenobi being a smartass/person rather than being part of his Lightsaber Form, as Form III(3) doesn't use provocations of any kind but is rather who Kenobi is.
(This next part is my own opinion and how I view this fight.) The point I'm trying to make is even with a fight that seems to use the same lightsaber Form as the primary stance for both fighters, that being Djem So, both former Jedi ready for a Standoff both Physically and Mentally take this primarily as they have goals they want to accomplish and they want to control the tempo of this fight, but their Stances, Ahsoka's Samurai attack positions and Baylan's Stoic Knight defensive positions shows their determination to set the pace. But unlike Ahsoka, Baylan seem to change forms mid-fight and you can see him using some Ataru stances and strikes like Qui Gon when Ahsoka has fully set her own pacing and is actively winning the fight up until she get injured after impatiently and in the moment attains her goal and injures herself but is still able to fend Baylan off until she looses her focus after Shin appears, causing her the believe Sabine could be injured or dead, this is When Baylen goes back to Djem So Stance with a quick Series of Strong attacks (not as quick as before but Ahsoka's hurt, she's not going to block as fast either). If anyone reads this sorry for the rant and thank you for taking the time to read this, I love discussing the different Philosophies of the Lightsaber Forms.
26:49 The purgill are the only thing that I can think of. Without the map, only they would know the way. Problem is: who can communicate with them? Ezra is at the end of the journey, and Ahsoka has other problems right now. Looks like Sabine is on her own.
I'm going to think that next episode is going to be Ashoka's final test to become a true Jedi Master... my brain was not ready for this!
I absolutely LOVED this episode
Watching you guys is so much fun, this was great. The calls on Marrok at the beginning made me giggle at how close to truth, especially Kyle’s, were.
Ray Stevenson's performance during the fight reminded me a fair bit of how Vader fights too.
I'm calling it, Sabine has a transmitter in her armor, which allows Hera to follow her.
I think she's legitimately going with Baylan to find Ezra--but is also giving her location so she can be followed by the whole Republic Fleet. Sabine is conflicted, but she's also a super-competent, potentially force-sensitive badass.
All the way to another galaxy? I mean Sabine is a tech genius, but it would have to be more powerful than the hyperspace ring itself! :D
maybe you are right about the tracker but they still have to reach the other galaxy and i think only the purgils can help them
The scene where Sabine hands over the map is a masterclass in how to manipulate the audience. It does two things to try to trick the audience into thinking Sabine might not actually give him the map. First it cuts to a wide shot and backs away slowly. Audience's have been trained to expect interference from a third party when this kind of shot happens in a scene like this. Second, they do the close-up hand off scene really slowly, another shot that audiences have been trained to expect some kind of interference by an outside party to affect the scene. Yet, nothing intervenes and she does in fact hand the map over. It's really smart cinematography.
RIP Marrok and the fan theories 😂
The best "what the fuck was that" in youtube history.
It’s a good thing the Eye of Sion didn’t have anything in the center or else we would have seen a Holdo maneuver.
Those fights were EPIC! This entire episode was epic! Not gonna lie, when I heard “hello Snips” I legit started to tear up. The de-aging did look a little off but I was still freaking out that we saw them in live action together!! I’m so glad they introduced Anakin in the series BEFORE Thrawn! I swear, if Anakin starts talking about or referencing Luke and Leia with Ashoka (more than likely Luke since him and Ashoka have obviously met) and Ashoka starts talking to Anakin about him, I’m gonna absolutely lose my mind. I can not wait for the next episode!
“He was powered by farts this whole time”
That’s exactly what I thought when I saw the episode
I know a lot happened in this episode but I am EXTREMELY on board with Carson being our new Wedge
Carson is great, but there is no reason why Wedge himself couldn't show up. He did appear in Rebels too, so here's hoping we actually get the real deal at some point.

Kyle's reaction to the end of the episode is the best 😂
Yes! was waiting for your reaction, such a great episode!
Bros got the star map behind him👀
I honestly never expected this show to be this good, but this episode was great
Now I need some comics with Katarn ❤
That shot of Shin and Sabine fighting in the background of Sabine's helmet shot seems like it was Sabine leaving her Mandalorian side behind and embracing the jedi side
Thank You Guys ❤
You guys are the best. So knowledgeable, so intuitive.
It was so good! This was a great episode, now we must wait a week! This is the best gift I didn't know I needed! Great reaction
I am still disappointed that Zeb wasn't with Teva's squadron when they joined up with Hera.
Been refreshing my YT subscriptions all morning for this and Wave Squadron reactions!
I fully believe Marrok was a Nightsister zombie. The green smoke and the way he died and the sound design was very reminiscent of the zombies on Dathomir. My assumption is that he was an Inquisitor who died during the war and was resurrected by Morgan. HOWEVER, Shin had a sort of visceral reaction to his death, as though he was more than a pawn. Which further leads me to assume he may have been either Baylin's former Padawan before Order 66, who was taken and made into an Inquisitor, which contributed to his own fall (similar to Cere and Trilla) OR he may have been Baylin's son, and Shin is not just a padawan, but his daughter thus making them siblings. She had to see him die twice. This also has me thinking about the "colored helmets" theory, where the blue/red helmets in the opening tend to always be blue for good characters and red for bad. Marrok has been blue, Sabine has been red. Maybe he gets redeemed, Sabine temporarily falls? Wild speculation time tbh
I love how Rodian pilots are basically the red shirts of star trek 😂
we’re halfway through and i’m pretty sure we’ve seen everything from the trailers. i’m scared 🙂
18:30 She didn't Twin Suns his ass, she The Lawless'd his ass!
