Ahsoka 1x6: Far, Far Away | Reaction

[@Azurek1991]

I like to think Galactic History Parts 1, 2, and 3 is an injoke referencing the prequel, original, and sequel trilogies. So of course Ahsoka would say part 1 is the best.

[@rgractor]

That line also felt like a nod to Mel Brooks and History of the World, Part 1.

[@onegemini420]

Nice thought, though the sequel trilogies technically have not occurred yet, so would not be history to Ahsoka. Unless Ahsoka has access to Spaceball technology and can get the video cassette before the future history has played out.

I love the whole "three fates, thread of fate" vibe from the Great Mothers

[@matthewrosen3970]

The Three Fates bit is intentional: The credits name the Great Mothers as Aktropaw, Klothow, and Lakesis, a reference to Atropos, Clotho, and Lachesis, the Three Fates in Greek mythology.

[@Dilligff]

I think the Great Mothers are, in fact, the same Greek Fates. My theory is that Feloni and Favreau are planting a small anchor point in the SW universe for potential multiversal crossovers. Marvel has already established that gods and deities exist as advanced alien species from other worlds. This would cast a thread from a different direction.

@@MrWord283 That's my point. Who would they get to voice Baylan since Ray Stevenson is no longer here? I mean, they've got MASSIVE shoes to fill, because Ray was badass! Corey Burton voicing Dooku in TCW and other Star Wars media outside of the movies is understandable, and his Dooku voice sounds similar to the original, but casting someone else to voice Baylan? Again, massive shoes to fill since Ray was just dominating the role here, and this was his last one ever.

High five on being the first person to call out the use of kintsugi on the troopers. Especially with them being called "Night Troopers" it's almost certain that it's not just their armor that was repaired, but their bodies as well with the Nightsister magick like we saw with Marrok earlier. Also, Baylon having an orange blade for his saber as well as using Qui-Gon's fighting stance against Ahsoka really makes him a dark reflection of those philosophies.

I get the sense from the final scene that Thrawn is highly uncomfortable with his dependence on the Nightsisters and the entire point of letting Sabine go is getting rid of her, Ezra, Baylon and Shin so there are no other unknown quantities/force users around to complicate matters. Also I can't wait for Timothy Zahn (who else) to write at least one novel about Thrawn's exile. From the alliance with the witches, the barely defined Marauders to the cult-like stormtroopers there's a lot of potential for a very different Thrawn story.

I'll be the first to admit that I'm behind on the new books but in old lore he executed an incompetent crewman on his deck for refusing to accept fault. He then promoted a failed crewman who had done nothing wrong according to conventional wisdom to provide the carrot and the stick for his crew. He understands the mentality and won't waste those under him (his argument against the death star was that it was inefficient rather than moral objection) but he doesn't actually care for them and will absolutely send units of stormtroopers against master jedi just to see what they will do. His crew may be fanatical enough to die for him but he's not the sort to take the standard rebels approach where the leaders fight with those under them because he is more critical to the empire's success than any of the troops under him and it could cost him. He places too much value in himself to ever risk a self-sacrificial play so his opponent doesn't need to win, playing for a draw where they both die is a win (this is what Sherlock Holmes uses to beat overwhelming odds in his movie and what was used against Thrawn previously in Rebels.)

Enoch reminds me of a character from Fallout: New Vegas. Legate Lanius. Kudos to the practical effects team, they are so talented. Ezra looks like his dad from the photo from Rebels.

This episode was amazing. Even without having seen Rebels, I could feel the emotions in Sabine and Ezra's reunion just through the strength of the actors' performances. And Thrawn was incredible. The scale of this episode made it clear just how much Star Wars as a franchise owes to Dune and Lord of the Rings; those influences were on full display here. Bendu's line about Ezra being the Radaghast of the Jedi was both hilarious and a deep cut, and once again I agree with Kyle in feeling so sad about Ray Stevenson's passing. Baylan Skoll is a fascinating character, and I wonder what he's hunting for on Peridea. Also, the music and sound design this episode were immaculate. Can't wait to see how this all wraps up!

Ray Stevenson just slays it again, and again... and again...

I’m not sure why but the shot when Balen leaves to go after Sabine and we see the tower and the Chimera reminded me of Dark Forces.

"There are good boys in every galaxy." Good God, what a perfect philosophy to live by.

Enoch is also played by Wes Chatham who played Amos in the expanse.

[@moondancer89]

I'm so sad his face is covered and his voice is garbled, other than that still super cool

[@c.a.honeycutt5046]

Really! That’s so cool. I hope we get to see him eventually.

Glad I wasn't the only 1 who thought of Spaceballs when Sabine was marching with the turtle/ hobbit people 😅😅😅

[@lucabestea6844]

15:07 confirmed! If he hears of it, he'll want to search for the World Between Worlds.

“So is Ezra Bridger, like… a trailer park supervisor?” IM DEAD 😂

[@IllustriousCrocoduck]

He legitimately looks and moves like Ezra. Well done.

[@thedoctor4327]

Would love it if after the finale Lucasfilm makes a point of announcing: - A new Timothy Zahn book that chronicles the early days of Thrawn, the Chimera’s crew and Ezra being marooned on this world. - A book/comic series that shows Baylan surviving Order 66, becoming a mercenary, and finding/training Shin

[@NuclearFridge1]

I would be here for those!

[@ryanlittle5919]

That was Thrawn’s parlance for, “Call the ambulance. But not for me…”

[@doubleclutch7340]

From all of the movies and times that I have seen an Imperial Star Destroyer, None have ever filled me with dread or fear until the Chimera bellowed a fog horn before rising majestically into view. Absolute cinematic gold.

The shore shuttle from the Eye reminded me of the ships in David Lynch's international of "Dune". The way Thrawn's star destroyer docks reminds me of Ra's ship and the pyramid in "Stargate". The knight sisters remind me of the witches in "Space Mutny". "We represent the lollipop guild". Love the new mount.

History of the universe parts 1, 2, & 3… 1 being the best! 😂 Was I only one who thought that was Prequel, Original, and Sequel trilogies reference? Too funny!! But I defer to Kyle’s reference!

[@ChadMichaelSimon]

24:17 is pure gold: "What in the Jim Henson is this?" "Oh my god, does that have a waistcoat on?!" "He has a little fucking waistcoat on! He's like a little Hobbit man! A Hobbit-lobster-Ninja-Turtle." It was such a purely new and unique yet old school Star Wars moment.

[@Thizlamic]

I know I'm LOCKED IN with you guys when I have thoughts you guys literally speak on. When Bendu said the Purgill go straight RAINBOW BRIDGE....I WAS TELLING MY KID (who is THOR OBSESSED) THE PURGILL CAN NATURALLY ACCESS THE BI-FROST!!!! SHE LOOKED AT ME BUG EYED LIKE WHAAAAAAT!!!! Baylon's fall is going to hit me HEAVY. You can hear how flat out TIRED he is of the bullsh*t! AND when the Ring drops out of Hyperspace.....AMAAAAAZZZING.

[@The_Admiral5]

What a great day for Star Wars Rebels fans! So happy to see Ezra again!

[@143garrett143]

I really love y’all’s review videos. Look forward to them every week

[@lindab1686]

This was amazing! Sabine should have spilled everything to Ezra right away. I worry for his new crab people friends

[@michaelwebster6566]

Chills during thrawn's entrance and tears at ezras return, we eating good lately
