Star Wars Rebels Season Four (spoilers)
- Thread starter Stephen!
- Start date
They haven't but it sounds likely? I mean, they will have all of the actual films (except TLJ and Solo) as well as The Mando on day 1. I'm more interested in Resistance, which I haven't seen much of. But having all of Rebels someplace I can tell people to go watch it would be nice too.
(Will they have Agent Carter? That's the question.)
It's on Hulu.
All 46 minutes of Ahsoka Tano on Rebels.
Hey guys....he's at it again! (Happy birthday to Dave, BTW!)Previously on "Ahsoka Is Somehow Gandalf Apparently"...
As if we needed more evidence that there's some deliberate Tolkien allusions being made with regards to Ahsoka; while browsing the SWR season 2 soundtrack I came across this track from 'Twilight of the Apprentice': Where the Sun Sails and the Moon Walks. The track itself appears to be an alternate composition of the music that plays over the episode's coda, but the title is what really grabbed my attention.
My first thought was that it was just a sideways nod at the Skywalker name (and that may still be partly true) but there was something about it that felt familiar. A quick search later and sure enough, it's a Gandalf quote from 'The Hobbit': -
The significance of this being a farewell shouldn't be lost on anyone given the context of the episode.
Also, I know eagles and owls aren't exactly the same thing, but it's yet another piece of avian imagery associated with Ahsoka. From Morai, to The Daughter's griffon form, and the wing pattern markings on Ahsoka's Jedi shuttle in the 'Family Reunion and Farewell' Epilogue.You know I swear I don't go looking for this stuff, but for some reason, whenever I see something that seems to draw a line between Ahsoka and Gandalf it just jumps out at me.
Sound familiar, or at least eerily evocative to anyone else, or is it just me?
(For those not so familiar with Tolkien literature, it's this bit in the movies.)
ETA...and right after posting this, it occurred to me that the first part of that passage could be interpreted as being very evocative of how the fight with Vader ended; with him falling down through the floor and the temple ("mountain") discharging it's weapon.
This may be the point where I'm reading too much into this, but the imagery seems to fit.
And now: a Christmas message from Dave Filloni.
For those not up on their Tolkien lore, that is a verse from 'Upon The Hearth The Fire Is Red' (the third verse of which was quite memorably featured in the RotK movie.) However, this specific verse is from much later in the book and is sung quietly by Frodo as he makes his way with Sam to the Grey Havens, and as such it feels steeped in concepts of death and moving beyond.
Interestingly, "West of the moon, East of the Sun" seems to be an allusion to a Norwegian fairy tale about a girl who must journey to the titular impossible land (an "unknown region", one might say...) to rescue a Prince (who is also a bear...)
For context, this line is actually spoken by Galadriel as she bids the fellowship goodnight, the night before they are to set off down the Anduin river. Of possible significance is that at this point in the story, they'd yet to decide whether to go east to Mordor or west to Minas Tirith. The former being the more obviously perilous, while the latter being seemingly the safe path, but with deeper, less apparent forebodings of the dark influence of the ring on the hearts of men in general and Boromir in particular.
Perhaps I'm reading into it too much, but it sounds like a reflection on Ahsoka's decision to leave the Jedi and take the more materially perilous path alone (as Frodo ultimately chose to do), instead of staying with the Jedi (the "western shore") which seemed like the safer option, but the more spiritually treacherous and corrupt.
...or it's just Dave's way of saying "stop theorising, I've already written what's going to go down!"

Possible Rebels related sighting in the Last Skywalker teaser trailer...
Some people claim to have spotted The Ghost among all the ships lining up to take on the First Order. Once I knew where to look, I spotted the ship that is believed to be the Ghost immediately. With Dave Fillioni's involvement, I wouldn't be surprised in the slightest. We know they already have a digital model for the ship from Rogue One.
So, if that is The Ghost, what do you suppose this means? Has Hera come out of retirement along with the likes of Wedge Antilles? Or is the ship being piloted by Hera and Kanan's son?
Here is a link the screen cap that points out the supposed Ghost with the fleet. I got to say, it looks close. Especially when you consider that 30-plus years have passed.

This is what I was thinking.
There are also a couple Pelta-Class ships. While they showed up first Clone Wars, one was used as the Rebel flag ship, Phoenix Home in season 2, it was destroyed by Vader
Well it's definitely a VCX-100 and given that 1) every other ship type in that fleet has at least one double up aside from this ship and the Falcon, and 2) it's very prominent in the shot, right next to the Falcon herself leads me to think it probably is the Ghost.
As for who's piloting? Could be Jacen, could be Hera. Either way I doubt we'll get a direct reference beyond it just being part of the scenery like in Rogue One. At most we might hear Vanessa Marshall's voice over the comms; "Phoenix Leader standing by..." or some-such.
Having Jacen show up in person seems unlikely since how do you explain to the general audience the sudden appearance of another force user that most haven't even heard of, and have it not be clunky or random?

One wonders if Jacen is force sensitive to the point he could be trained. Or if it's just enough to make him as good a pilot as his Mom.
The secondary question there is, what about Ezra and Thrawn. Which brings up the last question on a survivor of the Clone Wars, Ahsoka.

Sabine's epilogue seems to imply it. Whether he was actually trained though is an open question. I mean he'd be about 6 or 7 years older than Ben, and we're given to believe that Luke didn't open the temple to students until fairly late on, which would probably make Jacen at least in his early teens.
Plus just because someone has the potential to be trained doesn't mean they have to be. I mean Leia had at least as much potential as Luke and without training, the closest she got in the OT was a few moments of pure intuition.
Ahsoka Tano in the Rise of Skywalker?

Like you said in the other thread, if it were anything more than a blink and you'll miss it thing, the master of the mystery box would have never said anything.
I'm betting a voice cameo or something, not a physical appearance.
Well, Abrams aid "watch" closely rather than "listen" and Anakin voice actor Matt Lanter just made a live action appearance in The Mandalorian, although obviously not as Anakin. So, while I won't expect to see Akosha, I won't be surprised either.
