Spoilers AHSOKA series [Spoiler Discussion]

[thribs]

That was a fun episode. Nice to see Hayden back. Hopefully he's better used than he was in Obi-Wan.
So that Marek reveal was rather anticlimactic. He was just some gas creature in a humanoid suit.
I still can't help but wonder why Luke wasn't asked to help. This feels like the sort of situation he would be used for. At least give a reason to the audience why he isn't there. It's the "Superman problem" again.

It's not Luke's show, and Ahsoka is a much bigger gun than Luke will ever be.

What so you mean? Luke is the "boss man". Stated by Lucas himself to be the strongest Jedi that ever lived.
I get this is Ashoka's show but that didn't stop Book of Boba Fett having two episodes about the Mandalorian. You can still use him as a secondary character.

I can't help but think of Star Trek Generations at the end with the Nexus. Asoka is going to convince Anakin to come out and redo the fight. We will have him say, "who the hell are you?" to him.

 

[valkyrie013]

Amazeballs!!

Knew they were going to get to Thrawn .. He'll he was in the trailer..

Why didn't Ashoka use her shota blade?

Who pulled her though.. Neat to see Anakin. Better deaged thn obi wan.

The new republic high command is not going to be happy that Hera lost 4 X-Wings on an unauthorized mission

Why didn't Ashoka use her shota blade?

So she'd have a free hand to grab the map.

 

[Turtletrekker]

If it were Luke's show, would you be saying "why doesn't he look for Ahsoka"? You keep beating this drum, and it's inane. She has a padawan and a badass Droid assistant. She doesn't need Luke. You need Luke.

As for Luke's supposed power, I would say he never got sufficient training to learn how to use it properly. I would trust Ahsoka's power and experience and knowledge over Luke at this point of the timeline without question.

3.. 2 were left alive

And both times she fought?

 

[Tuskin38]

Luke is also too busy trying to rebuild the order. She doesn't want to bug him.

That was a great episode.
All of the fights were fantastic.
Sabine giving up the map was a surprise, but I guess that just shows how desperate she really is to get Ezra back, especially since she thought she had just seen Ahsoka die.
I'm curious if we're going to learn more about Baylan and Shin's backstories.
I'm know Jacen's appearance comes from the end of Rebels, but in general, I'm a little shocked he looks so human. You'd think as a 50/50 human/Twi'lek hybrid, he'd have inherited a few more Twi'lek traits. I would have expected at least green skin or small leku or something like that.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

"Mom, how come I have to do what I'm told and you don't?"
"Well, when you're a general, you can disobey orders, too. Until then, buckle up."

Oof, this episode was full of gut punches. From Sabine's moment of weakness to Morgan and company hyperjumping to another galaxy to Ahsoka's unexpected reunion with her master, this was one of hell of a roller coaster. If only they had listened to Huyang...

Seeing Carson joining Hera's tiny fleet was a lovely surprise...but Zeb's absence was an unfortunate one! The only way they make up for that is if he and Kallus show up with a surprise cavalry later on. Damnit, I want Zeb!

I can't help but laugh at all of the people who worked themselves into a lather with ridiculous theories about Marrok. Sometimes a lightsabered thug is just a lightsabered thug.

Terrible excuse. A threat like this would warrant him taking a few days off from doing that.
I just wish they put a bell on it. They act like he doesn’t exist.

Well that’s different. She’s just a sidekick. That would be like asking where’s Robin in every Batman story.

 

[The Nth Doctor]

Ahsoka hasn't been a sidekick for a very long time.

 

[Jedi Marso]

Heh.

Totally called it on Marrock. A saber-thug going somewhere to die.

Disappointed in Sabine, but she was caught between a rock and a hard place there. She's obviously no match for Baylan.

How did Ahsoka end up in the world between worlds?

Loved to see Carson, but definitely wanting some Zeb here. He shoulda been in one of the X-wings!

Is this the transition where we see 'Ahsoka the Grey' become 'Ahsoka the White?'

Good episode. Halfway in, now. Who knows where it goes from here...

R2 voicemail:
"I'm sorry Luke Skywalker is unavailable right now. If you leave a message, we will get back to you as soon as possible. "

No kidding. Ahsoka is doing exactly what her Master use to do; fly by the seat of his pants, operating alone if needed.

 

[thribs]

I wonder who Baylon’s master was. I wonder if it’s someone we know

I never developed a theory as to who he might be until I saw him die. I think he was the Grand Inquisitor. The canon comics showed that the Grand Inquisitor survived as an enslaved Force ghost or wraith under the servitude of Darth Vader. This was the fate worse than death that he referred to before his "death" in Rebels.

As far as I know, we never did learn what the Grand Inquisitor's original name was. Until they establish otherwise, I choose to believe that Marrok was the Grand Inquisitor and was finally set free from his servitude by Ahsoka.

Huh, curious. I didn't know about that.

But then I haven't read any of the comics or books (aside from the Ahsoka novel). When does that take place?

That said, how could he maintain form and/or enslavement after Vader's death?
