Agree 150% with everything you said about Ray Stevenson and his performance as Baylen , one of the most fascinating and intriguing characters , such a shame Ray is no longer with us and able to see the praise his performance is getting
This should be common sense by now.. Baylon even confirms it. Like 3 episodes ago.. When he says you believe Ezra Bridger is the only family you have left. And then says it’s the only thing holding you back. Cause he looked deep down in her and could see It’s her emotions. Plain and simple.
The mine field is from the books. Thrawn did that to Coruscant so they couldn't drop the planetary shields so then no one could leave. The one senator that's always against Hera is from Star Wars Resistance. Yeah, that's his character... lol Also, "And the Emperor died." "That's what people say." HA!
What an episode. Still think the relationship between Ahsoka and Huyang is incredible. One of my favorite parts of the show Also big brain move by Thrawn... he was like yo, this is Anakin's padawan. Let her cook because there's no way we can know wtf she'll do because he was unpredictable I also feel like Baylan was sort of proud to see Ahsoka survived
Kevin Kiner used Vader's breath as a score element at 29:24 from the moment Thrawn says "Lord Vader". So happy they brought him on for the show having scored both Clone Wars and Rebels, he's a genius!
@@NikkiStevenReacthonestly, if they don't finish his story this season, even though it is like the most interesting character to come out of star wars for a long time. But if they planned it out for baylon to be a long lasting enemy of our group. I honestly would rather them write baelon out of the show out of respect to ray Stevenson. Maybe like a mention on how he died or whatever. But I think that would be disrespectful to the great ray Stevenson if they were to recast and I don't think most fans would be okay with them doing a recast
Personally I thought it was a great episode. Live action Ezra and Sabine really work great off each other. We got to see double light saber Ahsoka again (with notable calmer and more in control fighting) and we actually got to see Ahsoka laugh and smile! (Plus you know we got more lovely machinations of Thrawn)!
@@crewchief5144bought so too. The only thing throwing me off is the beard, the actor looks so much like Ezra but with the beard all I see is space Jesus
Sabine's reaction to Ezra was understandable in my mind when you consider what she had on her mind at the time, as far as she knew Ahsoka was dead and the consequences of her actions may have doomed the galaxy to another major conflict. But it's not like she really had a choice. With all that on her mind can you blame her for being a little muted.
Yes, I do blame her. Speak up woman. Tell him all the truth so you can make a plan to get off the planet. Get back to that ship and overthrow Thrawn. What the heck was wrong with her. Yeah he be upset for a moment, but get ready.
@@jennym2276 Yes this was basically my thought too. Tell him everything and plan to get the f home, then once you're safe you can try to salvage trust.
Claudia Black from Farscape and Stargate SG-1 is amazing as the main Night Mother, I barely recognized her in all the makeup. I love to watch the Noti fight; it is like a space domestic dispute. Pots, pans, rocks & home adornments. Baylon tells his apprentice you go I am going to buy some death sticks; I may be a while.
I loved the dialogue. The writers and the actor NAILED it. Ezra lines were VERY Ezra..."Prisoners! You...could take us as prisoners." Eyebrows up and everything.
I'm sure somebody on here has mentioned this at some point, but fun fact: The Hater (aka Senator Xiono), is actually somewhat important in Star Wars lore as a little over 20 years from the events of this episode, his own son is recruited by Poe Dameron to join the Resistance as the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy animated show, Resistance! It's actually quite an nice Star Wars animated show and deserve a lot more attention!
Besides the MandoVerse, One of the only parts of the overall franchise we need more information about is the timeline between Episode 1 Phantom Menace and Episode 2 Attack Of The Clones where Obi Wan is raising and training Anakin for 10 years
Your Luke theory is so intriguing and I want that...plus I would love to see the Dai Bendu be the entity that calls to Baylan. To see this Bendu in live action would be epic...and to have Thrawn come to that realization once again...OMG!
They are making a theatrical film to completely tie it all up. I don't know exactly when they will make it but I hope they keep going with Mando and Grogu with bounty hunting and teaching Grogu the ways of the Mandalore.
That Senator is Kaz's father from Star Wars: Resistance. He's not an Imperial, just a good representation of what this New Republic is like right now: enjoying the fruits of their "victory" without considering that the enemy isn't completely finished and blind to the threat of their return. He's like the Mayor in Jaws, willing to ignore the problem till it swims up and bites him in the ass.
Sabine's excitement might have been tempered by the fact that at that point she thought Ahsoka was dead, and also she had put the main galaxy at risk. An unburdened Ahsoka gave Ezra a big hug and laugh. Guilt and sorrow can weigh heavy - I think that's why Ezra didn't push Sabine more for answers - he probably could feel those emotions, even if he didn't know what they were for. How many troops do you think Thrawn lost to Ezra before everyone showed up? The answer to that might be why he left him alone - he simply didn't have the numbers to chase around one guy who seemed content to just lay low and out of sight.
32:34 There might even be bigger villains in the background, like the Grysk (the people who are a threat to Trawn's people, the Chiss) and maybe Baylan is called by the Zepho and/or Abeloth (aka "The Mother", or a being simmilar to that in scariness and power). A villain on that power-level would be absolutely crazy for them to face and a huge long term threat to our protagonists as well.
A very great episode that shows off Thrawn's intelligence for those who haven't watched Rebels. This episode shows why he's so dangerous to the New Republic; also let me just say who does that senator think he is?! Insulting droids like that especially with Chopper in the room that droid was about to commit his own Execute Order 66 on that senator.
Senator Xiono who you asked if he was new is the father of one of the characters in the animated Star Wars Resistance. But yes he is basically a new character. - There has been a debate about whether Thrawn knows Vader is Anakin. Some say that Thrawn was one of a very limited number of people who were privy to the knowledge. Well, Thrawn met Anakin during the Clone Wars so it may not have been difficult for a man of Thrawn's intelligence to figure it out. Especially since he likely would have sought as much intelligence as he could on Vader as he would have recognized the importance of knowing everything about a potential rival like Vader in the Empire. Especially since Vader was known to kill Admirals. So I believe that Thrawn is very much aware of Anakin being Vader.
This episode is showing audiences who never saw Rebels why Thrawn is truly one of the greatest and most formidable villains in Star Wars history! This man never sweats, and learns as much from his defeats as his victories. And in the canon book Thrawn: Alliances we learned that he also fought and served alongside Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars AND when he became Darth Vader, he even managed to deduce that they were the same person, even though Thrawn never had any actual evidence, while neither Vader NOR The Emperor could read his mind with the Force! Also all Rebels fans know that if Chopper and that dick Senator Xiono were in that room alone, Chopper would kill him in a way that would make even the creators of Mortal Kombat sick to their stomachs.🤣🤣
@@thedarkknight2221 no thanks ill wait till after Ahsoka is done. i agree with what you said. i still need something big to happen. i hope sabine gets killed we know thats not gonna happen but something like that needs to happen if they all just leave with no one dyeing than idn how ill feel about thrawn
@@justinsimpson2146 Thrawn isn’t some bloodthirsty, temperamental warlord who NEEDS to kill someone to establish dominance. He doesn’t solely plan on killing his enemy, he plans on defeating them. And unlike Moff Gideon, he knows how to be objective and always keeps his ego in check.
the senator in question is actually an already existant character in star wars. he is the father of the protagonist to the animated Resistance which takes place around the the time of the force awakens.
His blue skin tone with those red eyes is TERRYFING. This is easily the best Star Wars spin off yet, even the Mandalorian. Hope we get mutiple seasons oh Ahsokas story with more young Darth A+
My guess is that the witches digged to deep into the dark side and made something they lost control of and being able to use the force is no longer a gift but makes you vulnerable to whatever is eating force users
so since my last comment I met Eman AKA Ezra (and Diana AKA Morgan) both are very kind to their fans and at their panel I asked Eman if he thinks Ezra would meet Luke and Diana said "its a trap!" AKA don't answer and he said it is always a possibility but can not confirm. oh and I asked Temura what he thought boba's reaction to Grogu calming the rancor then sleeping next to him, he said he would be glad that he calmed him but the cuddling would be too cute for him
8:48 I think this Senator is the father of the kid in “Star Wars Resistance” which looking at the timeline is after Ahsoka. 9:55 R2 is with Luke. 29:02 I figured they were real live troopers when Thrawn said they didn’t have many troopers. 30:45 nice “force” joke.
I was a bit disappointed with how EZRA fought. It's like in all that time away he didn't tap into the force and improve his power and skill. And it was so nice to see Ahsoka instantly not hold Sabines choice against her and be happy to see Sabine. I also really like how the actor is portraying Ezra.
I agree with everything you said, man. The sheer weight that that actor brings to the roll in rebels and now in live actor forum you just can not see anyone else but him is Throne. And he's not like other Imperial, unlike them. Throne thinks 4 to 6 moves ahead. I'm glad you saw that Faloni brought that over from legends. That arrogant senator is the senator from Hozen Prime. One last thing, the song that y'all play at the end of your videos Intense you can tell me the name of it has a nice rhythm to it
Thrawn not only met Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, he was one of the only people who not only figured out that Vader WAS Skywalker but survived taunting Vader with that fact
Thrawn deploys his stormtroopers with ISR support and pulls them back when it’s not going his way in the short term. He doesn’t’ waste fighters in the chaos of a debris field, he opts for targeted turbolaser bombard,ent to flush them out after using Nightsister magic to locate them. He noticed immediately that By]aylon wasn’t in position. Small things to be sure, but displays of a much smarter commander than other imps we’ve gotten, who were mostly cartoon characters
Also, you're not the first to ask if that is a green khyber crystal in his belt. Back in episode six, you can see the green glow as he walks on set. Which, again, is a tiny snippet of information. He's a Consular. He's a General. He kept his green crystal. His Padawan still has a braid. All little bread crumbs.
@@emmanuelunah, there were one or two fillers but this isn’t one. And at least Ahsoka and Ezra’s reunion was better than the terribly directed one between him and Sabine
@@emmanuelu Agree to that!! Can´t understand this "filler-BS"! It´s a 8 eps show (not 24 or even more eps stuff), how can there be any "filler" @all. AND: 1st.) Even technically, every eps of Ahsoka resumed direct at the point where the prev. eps ended. 2nd.) With that, obviously, every eps did make progress storywise (sometimes slow-/sometimes fast-paced). Well, Ppl may not like the content, but to call it "filler" is beyond me ... 🤔
@@NikkiStevenReact A lot of other Star Wars channels were just complaining how this episode was just another boring Disney filler episode and even said how Ezra was out of character.. idk though like I said I thought everything about this episode was needed to see and was just another really good episode
Loved the sequence of Ezra using the Force to hold back Shin's lightsaber attacks. Guess if we are counting power levels Sabine is a (struggling) Jedi Padawan, Ezra is already a Knight and Ahsoka is clearly a Master. 🙂 Also guess Baylan is the one who will stay behind to look for whatever the Zeffo (?) left behind on Peridea. And everything is going according to Thrawn's plan, to keep the heroes away from his barely holding together ship while they load whatever is inside those containers so they can leave.
Love the episode and the reaction, the finale will be great! 😊 I am so intrigued to know what Baylan is looking for and what kind of bodies Thrawn loaded into the SD.👀 The series is awesome and very well done, I only have little knowledge of all those old characters and still enjoy the series very much! So they obviously did a very great job!
In the last episode of “Rebels” , Ezra sacrificed himself by luring the Pergil to snatch away Thrawn’s Star Destroyer. That was to save everyone in Lothal. Contrast that with Sabine’s move in sacrificing her home galaxy in order to get her wish granted to again see Ezra. And if Baylon is sensing some kind of “Bendu” like force creature on this Night Sister planet do we really care?
Great reaction like always. This episode was so good it gave me so much rebels style seeing them all reunited, and the cameo of C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) was unexpected but so hearth warming, especially with the tone of star wars music in the back. I laughed so hard when chopper want to kick the senator ass. 😂 Keep up the amazing work.
Baylen is going to turn back to the Jedi, The way that he spoke to Shin, was very similar to how Ben kenobi spoke to luke, just before he confronted Darth-Vader. So to me that makes sense. Plus the previous episode you could tell that he was feeling conflicted about how the cycle of "Jedi" and "Empire " keeps repeating itself. Can't believe it's the final episode next week!. [Great Reaction As Always] 😊🇬🇧
I don't know if you catched the fact that Thrawn want to go back as quick as possible not to conquer the galaxy but to escape the thing that annihilated his Star Destroyers fleetas a show of his power and it was like nothing for it; That's the ring made out of all the wreckage and the Dark Sisters are picking out bodies out of it for the Nìght trooper Army!
My guess for the finale: remember when Thrawn said to the nightsisters that he required their help once again? Remember how that inquisitor killed by Ahsoka was just "dust"? i think the finale will have something to do with that, a new character appearing conjured by the nightsisters and that will fight Ahsoka? And what will Baylan do, can he maybe sacrifice himself to save Ahsoka in a fight with another character? What about that mysterious Enoch...?
This was a great episode a few things Steven Thrawn used Sabine to find Ezra because of lack of manpower and when Sabine and Ezra reunited they did hug now as for this episode I wouldn't be worried about Thrawn moving forward cause he's supposed to be the villain of Dave Filoni's movie as for Baylan I'm worried about what's calling to him cause if it's who I think it is no fan is ready to see her in live action all hail Abeloth
Sabine knew where to look for Ezra because Thrawn told her what their intelligence on his location had on him. then she came across the noti and they saw her rebel starbird. that is the only reason she found him. the noti recognized her as a friend and took her to them. she found the noti because thrawn pointed her in the right direction.
I’ve been calling for them to be contacted almost every episode. Fully aware of that stuff. It will be a huge miss if we don’t see any of them under these circumstances.
@@NikkiStevenReact too much potential for Disney to not take advantage off, they are going to milk the crap out off it, I think we will eventually see them all, luke again, leia, solo, chewy, etc. even a young kylo ren (ben solo) probably
@@NikkiStevenReact If you like The Force Awakens. Might be something nice to watch with your children since it's way more kid-friendly than the other animated series.
There's something i've been wondering about Star Wars for a good while now and that is what happens to Ezra,Sabine,Hera,Zeb,Chopper,Ahsoka,the Mando, and Boba because none of them are in the sequel trilogy
Honestly, this show really makes me want to go back and watch Clone Wars and Rebels. Final season of Bad Batch is coming too. And man, do I love watching Thrawn work. He's cool, calculating, respects his opponent, doesn't let ego or emotion cloud his judgement. It's all an equation to him. He knows when to cut losses and step back. He's always got a big picture idea that everyone else isn't looking at.
I think he goes back to finish his training with Luke. And Hera sends Jacen to Luke. This really will fuel the distress of Luke after so many people we love are going to die from his mistake with Ben.
This episode solidified Thrawn for me. It feels just as menacing and exactly like the old books, he's just older in this new canon timeline. Looks like they fixed the hair in between these two episodes too. It looks like actual hair instead of perfectly pasted down strands making almost a solid piece. Very happy with what we're getting, just wish this season was 10 episodes instead.
I think shin is going to have a big change of heart. I really do like all of the villains in this series. This episode was SO good. I was interested throughout the whole thing.
Been watching your videos for a while now. They are always awesome! Would love to theorycraft with ya. With the movie, I hope we see a full collaboration with Mando, Luke and all.

Plus, Sabine used the force in the same way that Leia used it. This confirms she's force sensitive. She just doubts herself too much.
Everyone has the potential for the Force. They just need training and discipline. Some way more than others.
This should be common sense by now..
Baylon even confirms it. Like 3 episodes ago..
When he says you believe Ezra Bridger is the only family you have left. And then says it’s the only thing holding you back. Cause he looked deep down in her and could see It’s her emotions.
Plain and simple.
@@zairman yeah, but Sabine is naturally force sensitive

I love how Dave reached out to one of the Sci Fi Queens to play the head Great Mother. Ms. Claudia Black! Loved her in Pitch Black and Farscape
Two queens. Another mother is the Borg Queen from S3 Picard.

Also, "And the Emperor died." "That's what people say." HA!
Thrawn had interactions with him as both anakin and as vader, and he trolled him quite a few times about it while he was vader.
Yea still respected tf out of him as both but more so Vader
I love those little hermit creatures so much
First time we get a Ventress name drop in live action

I also feel like Baylan was sort of proud to see Ahsoka survived
I love Thrawn's reaction when he finds out Anakin was Ahsoka's master. There's a split-second where he clearly thinks "Sh**, I'm screwed"
“…a mere droid.”
Chopper: “Bitch, what!? I’m coming down there.”
Better hope he doesn't run into chopper.
I like how we were able to tie the timeline with Mando and this means ahsoka already found luke.

C3PO! General Organa references are so emotional. Love it how she is helping out! Ezra better hurry up & use that Saber! Asap! Great episode....
I saw Nikki's gasp when her name was mentioned. I did about the same. VERY emotional.
I hope We get a conclusion to Baylon Skoll's endgame considering We lost the actor.
I’m sure we will and if we don’t, I’d imagine they would consider a recast. Guess it really all depends on how much story he has in future projects.
Peace to the Fallen.❤💐
They could always Vader him in some way. A mask and voice changer is a good way to get around it.

With respect to Ray, a deepfake is possible.
You also need to look at the picture of Ezra's dad in Rebels, this actor for Ezra looks just like him. It's amazing.
Ezra probably taught them how to use slingshots. In rebals season one, Ezra used one

Darth Selfish the deceiver of Mandalore
I think huyang not being aware of the holos shows she wasn’t using them. Probably bc of guilt over Vader.

Besides the MandoVerse, One of the only parts of the overall franchise we need more information about is the timeline between Episode 1 Phantom Menace and Episode 2 Attack Of The Clones where Obi Wan is raising and training Anakin for 10 years

Thought the reunion was very much like seeing someone you haven't seen in forever in that awkward surreal way it often is. Seemed perfect.
Sabine's excitement might have been tempered by the fact that at that point she thought Ahsoka was dead, and also she had put the main galaxy at risk. An unburdened Ahsoka gave Ezra a big hug and laugh. Guilt and sorrow can weigh heavy - I think that's why Ezra didn't push Sabine more for answers - he probably could feel those emotions, even if he didn't know what they were for.

A villain on that power-level would be absolutely crazy for them to face and a huge long term threat to our protagonists as well.

Great Episode, C3PO one of the 🐐's
Incredible episode. Very well directed by Geeta Patel who also directed the best episode of House of the Dragon.
Xiono is an incompetent little piss ant, his son Kaz Xiono ends up, becoming a spy for the resistance (see the animated series Star Wars resistance).
The main mother is played by Claudia Black from Stargate and Farscape

the senator in question is actually an already existant character in star wars. he is the father of the protagonist to the animated Resistance which takes place around the the time of the force awakens.
A sensible and fair review, unlike some others - Theory/Echo dudes.
His blue skin tone with those red eyes is TERRYFING. This is easily the best Star Wars spin off yet, even the Mandalorian. Hope we get mutiple seasons oh Ahsokas story with more young Darth A+
My guess is that the witches digged to deep into the dark side and made something they lost control of and being able to use the force is no longer a gift but makes you vulnerable to whatever is eating force users
so since my last comment I met Eman AKA Ezra (and Diana AKA Morgan) both are very kind to their fans and at their panel I asked Eman if he thinks Ezra would meet Luke and Diana said "its a trap!" AKA don't answer and he said it is always a possibility but can not confirm. oh and I asked Temura what he thought boba's reaction to Grogu calming the rancor then sleeping next to him, he said he would be glad that he calmed him but the cuddling would be too cute for him
8:48 I think this Senator is the father of the kid in “Star Wars Resistance” which looking at the timeline is after Ahsoka. 9:55 R2 is with Luke. 29:02 I figured they were real live troopers when Thrawn said they didn’t have many troopers. 30:45 nice “force” joke.
Baylan has a shattered green gem in his belt, Shin has chips from a green gem woven into her padawan braid, symbols of their leaving the Jedi I think.
I was a bit disappointed with how EZRA fought. It's like in all that time away he didn't tap into the force and improve his power and skill. And it was so nice to see Ahsoka instantly not hold Sabines choice against her and be happy to see Sabine. I also really like how the actor is portraying Ezra.
Something that was said behind the scenes is that his chain mail is made from storm trooper tags. So thrawn didn't just leave him alone.
That is the first time they saw each other since he saved her in the world between world.
I only wish C3-PO had responded with "Identification? I am not the droid you are looking for..."
That green Jem could be his old Jedi saber.
I agree with everything you said, man.
The sheer weight that that actor brings to the roll in rebels and now in live actor forum you just can not see anyone else but him is Throne.
And he's not like other Imperial, unlike them. Throne thinks 4 to 6 moves ahead. I'm glad you saw that Faloni brought that over from legends.
That arrogant senator is the senator from Hozen Prime.
One last thing, the song that y'all play at the end of your videos Intense you can tell me the name of it has a nice rhythm to it
Thrawn not only met Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, he was one of the only people who not only figured out that Vader WAS Skywalker but survived taunting Vader with that fact
29:47 😂 Definitely heard the Vader Breath first watch through too
Never thought i'd see mobile homes in Star Wars. I'm all for it!!!
Chopper saw red in his…lenses?
That senator should tread carefully. He should know that Chopper has one of the highest kill counts in the galaxy.
Ahsoka calling out to Sabine is a call back to Luke calling out to Leia in Empire Strikes Back...
Thrawn deploys his stormtroopers with ISR support and pulls them back when it’s not going his way in the short term. He doesn’t’ waste fighters in the chaos of a debris field, he opts for targeted turbolaser bombard,ent to flush them out after using Nightsister magic to locate them. He noticed immediately that By]aylon wasn’t in position.
Small things to be sure, but displays of a much smarter commander than other imps we’ve gotten, who were mostly cartoon characters
Also, you're not the first to ask if that is a green khyber crystal in his belt. Back in episode six, you can see the green glow as he walks on set. Which, again, is a tiny snippet of information. He's a Consular. He's a General. He kept his green crystal. His Padawan still has a braid. All little bread crumbs.
The hater senator is the father of the main character of Star Wars: Resistance.
so many people hated this episode but idk this episode was perfect imo
Oh really? Didn’t feel much different from the previous episodes. Why didn’t people like it?
@@NikkiStevenReact Some people thought this was a filler. which i don't really understand
@@emmanuelunah, there were one or two fillers but this isn’t one. And at least Ahsoka and Ezra’s reunion was better than the terribly directed one between him and Sabine
@@emmanuelu Agree to that!! Can´t understand this "filler-BS"! It´s a 8 eps show (not 24 or even more eps stuff), how can there be any "filler" @all. AND: 1st.) Even technically, every eps of Ahsoka resumed direct at the point where the prev. eps ended. 2nd.) With that, obviously, every eps did make progress storywise (sometimes slow-/sometimes fast-paced). Well, Ppl may not like the content, but to call it "filler" is beyond me ... 🤔
@@NikkiStevenReact A lot of other Star Wars channels were just complaining how this episode was just another boring Disney filler episode and even said how Ezra was out of character.. idk though like I said I thought everything about this episode was needed to see and was just another really good episode
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought they heard Vader's breath at 29.29.
Another episode of Steven the Star Wars Dad! Love the videos guys, awesome channel.
Ezra went full Vader, killing Thrawn's troopers.
Loved the sequence of Ezra using the Force to hold back Shin's lightsaber attacks.
Guess if we are counting power levels Sabine is a (struggling) Jedi Padawan, Ezra is already a Knight and Ahsoka is clearly a Master. 🙂
Also guess Baylan is the one who will stay behind to look for whatever the Zeffo (?) left behind on Peridea.
And everything is going according to Thrawn's plan, to keep the heroes away from his barely holding together ship while they load whatever is inside those containers so they can leave.
I liked the distortion effects with lightsaber, when Ezra used force to stop its motion. Quite fresh and interesting look.
This episode gave me a lot of stress, I was like Don't kill Shin! Don't kill Shin!
And don't kill Baylan!
Honestly I would have enjoyed it if they all die
@@GolDFish-if1ov Goodness I certainly wouldn't. They're fascinating characters
So is this show just 8 episodes or will there be a season 2?
Love the episode and the reaction, the finale will be great! 😊
I am so intrigued to know what Baylan is looking for and what kind of bodies Thrawn loaded into the SD.👀
The series is awesome and very well done, I only have little knowledge of all those old characters and still enjoy the series very much! So they obviously did a very great job!
I noticed both Ezra and Thrawn are so chill when they speak and take info. Both big brains at work.
In the last episode of “Rebels” , Ezra sacrificed himself by luring the Pergil to snatch away Thrawn’s Star Destroyer. That was to save everyone in Lothal. Contrast that with Sabine’s move in sacrificing her home galaxy in order to get her wish granted to again see Ezra. And if Baylon is sensing some kind of “Bendu” like force creature on this Night Sister planet do we really care?
Great reaction like always. This episode was so good it gave me so much rebels style seeing them all reunited, and the cameo of C-3PO (Anthony Daniels) was unexpected but so hearth warming, especially with the tone of star wars music in the back. I laughed so hard when chopper want to kick the senator ass. 😂 Keep up the amazing work.
Baylen is going to turn back to the Jedi, The way that he spoke to Shin, was very similar to how Ben kenobi spoke to luke, just before he confronted Darth-Vader. So to me that makes sense.
Plus the previous episode you could tell that he was feeling conflicted about how the cycle of "Jedi" and "Empire " keeps repeating itself.
Can't believe it's the final episode next week!.
[Great Reaction As Always] 😊🇬🇧
I don't know if you catched the fact that Thrawn want to go back as quick as possible not to conquer the galaxy but to escape the thing that annihilated his Star Destroyers fleetas a show of his power and it was like nothing for it; That's the ring made out of all the wreckage and the Dark Sisters are picking out bodies out of it for the Nìght trooper Army!
My guess for the finale: remember when Thrawn said to the nightsisters that he required their help once again? Remember how that inquisitor killed by Ahsoka was just "dust"? i think the finale will have something to do with that, a new character appearing conjured by the nightsisters and that will fight Ahsoka? And what will Baylan do, can he maybe sacrifice himself to save Ahsoka in a fight with another character? What about that mysterious Enoch...?
This was a great episode a few things Steven Thrawn used Sabine to find Ezra because of lack of manpower and when Sabine and Ezra reunited they did hug now as for this episode I wouldn't be worried about Thrawn moving forward cause he's supposed to be the villain of Dave Filoni's movie as for Baylan I'm worried about what's calling to him cause if it's who I think it is no fan is ready to see her in live action all hail Abeloth
That ozone is in the cartoon Resistance
Sabine knew where to look for Ezra because Thrawn told her what their intelligence on his location had on him. then she came across the noti and they saw her rebel starbird. that is the only reason she found him. the noti recognized her as a friend and took her to them. she found the noti because thrawn pointed her in the right direction.
You forget, EVERY mayor character is alive in this time period.
I’ve been calling for them to be contacted almost every episode. Fully aware of that stuff. It will be a huge miss if we don’t see any of them under these circumstances.
@@NikkiStevenReact too much potential for Disney to not take advantage off, they are going to milk the crap out off it, I think we will eventually see them all, luke again, leia, solo, chewy, etc. even a young kylo ren (ben solo) probably
Xiono is just a dummy. He's not an imperial. His son is the main character of Star Wars Resistance.
That tracks.
Is Resistance worth a watch?
@@NikkiStevenReact Two words: not really.
@@NikkiStevenReact If you like The Force Awakens. Might be something nice to watch with your children since it's way more kid-friendly than the other animated series.
There's something i've been wondering about Star Wars for a good while now and that is what happens to Ezra,Sabine,Hera,Zeb,Chopper,Ahsoka,the Mando, and Boba because none of them are in the sequel trilogy
Honestly, this show really makes me want to go back and watch Clone Wars and Rebels. Final season of Bad Batch is coming too. And man, do I love watching Thrawn work. He's cool, calculating, respects his opponent, doesn't let ego or emotion cloud his judgement. It's all an equation to him. He knows when to cut losses and step back. He's always got a big picture idea that everyone else isn't looking at.
It's right: Grogu needs a good reason why he was not in the sequels. But the ghost ship was in the sequels. So everyone could be there.
I think he goes back to finish his training with Luke. And Hera sends Jacen to Luke. This really will fuel the distress of Luke after so many people we love are going to die from his mistake with Ben.
This episode solidified Thrawn for me. It feels just as menacing and exactly like the old books, he's just older in this new canon timeline. Looks like they fixed the hair in between these two episodes too. It looks like actual hair instead of perfectly pasted down strands making almost a solid piece. Very happy with what we're getting, just wish this season was 10 episodes instead.
I think shin is going to have a big change of heart. I really do like all of the villains in this series.
This episode was SO good. I was interested throughout the whole thing.
I’m waiting for her to turn!
Been watching your videos for a while now. They are always awesome! Would love to theorycraft with ya. With the movie, I hope we see a full collaboration with Mando, Luke and all.
