Ahsoka 1x6 Reaction: Far, Far Away

[@fgrillo29]

Baylan Skoll is the most intriguing Star Wars character that has come along in years. Beautifully played by Ray Stevenson. RIP

[@kptmaci4979]

Yup, its a shame. I hope his story gets continuted in a recast, so we could at least imagine, what Ray's journey would have been like in the future

[@whofactchecksthefactcheckers]

@kptmaci4979 maybe even a prequel for his character with a younger actor to show how he became who he was

[@pyrofan80]

The Chimera appearing above the fortress was *chills*

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

Thrawn's intro scene is stone cold amazing.........gives his character the weight and doom he deserves

[@Jon_FM]

His intro line... fire. "What was first just a dream has become a frightening reality for those who may oppose us."

[@alexkramerblogs]

3:21 even hyperspace takes time. In A New Hope, Luke and Obi-Wan have time to train with a lightsaber while they're in hyperspace from Tatooine to Alderaan.

[@HalfDemonInuyasha]

And that was at the very end of the trip to just before they reached Alderaan, so it most likely took at least a few hours, if not a day or more given Tatooine is an Outer Rim planet while Alderaan is much closer to the middle, IIRC.

[@Matt-tq9nd]

Regarding Agustín's comment about the Purrgil (~1:19): "the Purrgil migrate to worlds rich in a rare gas called Clouzon-36, which they consume." They need a similar structure in their mouths to filter the gas, maybe? This can be seen in Rebels episode "The Call" S2 E15

[@DinerLingo]

Was thinking the same thing. There's lots of stuff in space, dirt, gas, dust, rocks, etc. Who knows, maybe they even filter dark matter.

[@MrCookieCat]

So many threads being woven together to bring so much more depth from all of the stories! Love watching you see it all coming together.

[@thesharpercoder]

FYI, guys. Ben Solo was born in the year 5 ABY on Chandrilla, which is also the home planet for Mon Mothma. Ben would have been about 2-3 years old when “The Mandalorian” season one began. Ben Solo died in 35 ABY on Exegol.

"Provisions" means food, and other supplies for surviving.

[@mcdudely]

a Thrawn and Ezra reveal in the same episode? Dave just wanted to give us a heartattack lol

[@brettdiving2744]

I know not everybody reads the novels (but to be fair, it IS present in Rebels), but it kills me how so many people think the "graffiti", as you put it, is a new thing on the underside of the Star Destroyer. That has been there ever since Thrawn took command of the vessel during his time in the Empire. It's a sketch of the creature that the ship is named after: a Chimaera.

[@shindalah1794]

Incorrect, and worse you assert your falsity. It is the dual serpent symbol of a house of Paccosh, specifically of Uingali Maocssa; an alien Thrawn met in the Ascendancy while fighting the Grysk. Read the Ascendancy trilogy before making things up.

[@brettdiving2744]

@@shindalah1794 .............. I did read that trilogy and loved it. Nothing I said is incorrect. You literally just repeated my statement, albeit with more context. So cudos to you.

[@darrinnoble]

Watching Adam take in all this beauty is such a joy.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

Hearing them actually say "A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away" was crazy to me! :D

[@chrisevans2008]

Well, technically, hyperspace jumps are not instantaneous in most if not all cases

[@HalfDemonInuyasha]

Yeah, based on novels that I recall, obviously depending on how far the planets are from each other, hyperspace trips just within their own galaxy can take hours to even days.

[@JAYWALKER1000]

Once upon a time there was a girl named Sabine Wren, a knight belonging to two orders, and she was accompanied by 7 nina turtlle-hermit crabs and her wolf-horse as she searched for her long lost brother-in-arms Ezra Bridger.

[@fuzzyotterpaws4395]

2:32 Baylan Skoll is altering the deal! Pray he doesn't alter it any further😂

[@jonathanshaw9704]

I had a big smile on my face when I saw Ezra again. Also, anybody else thinks that he looks like Moses from the Prince of Egypt? Or is that just me? 26:35- And, to your point Adam… I have always loved the Post-Return of the Jedi era of Star Wars. Where, the Emperor/the Sith is gone, Luke Skywalker is slowly building a New Jedi Order and the New Republic is fighting back the multiple Imperial Remnant factions (each with their own plans) across the galaxy. They are unconventional times where new heroes are rising up to help. (I also finished both Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy for the first time on PS4 recently, so that reaffirms my love for those Star Wars stories.)

[@emilylewis5373]

I think one of the best things about Ashoka was the handling of Ezra as the McGuffin, especially for new viewers. They were able to reveal just enough about him, so that they were able to bring that simile to everybody's face. The next episode was important as well in proving why he was the Mcguffin.

[@legendswarble2845]

I appreciate all the work you guys do to make this for us. I get excited whenever you upload. You guys rock.

[@maxlarivee3663]

Baylan Skoll is not a sith. He is a former jedi, and uses the dark side of the force, but does not adopt the sith philosophy. He's more of a fallen jedi or dark jedi. It's also why he did not change his name to Darth Something-or-another.

[@GuanoLad]

It has literally been six months since this episode aired. Time flies.

[@krystalturner33]

Could not wait to see your reaction to Thrawn. Not disappointed. Chef’s kiss.

[@stmcde1701]

Honestly I've said elsewhere but I'll say it again, this is the most Star Trek that Star Wars has felt in term of styles and I am here for it

[@Drew8472]

I was going to comment the same thing. Rosario Dawson is also a huge Star Trek fan too so it all works.

[@JimmyStewaaart]

Was pleasantly surprised to see Hector on Um Actually (Dropout) recently! You were a blast, dude.

[@AngelaSealana]

Thank you guys for posting this!!

[@Eva_H]

The music in question when Sabine and Ezra hugged out is Ezra’s theme, first heard in Star Wars rebels

[@hannahawesome85]

Yes! I'm excited to see what you guys think about this episode! ❤

[@QueenMegaera]

Not Augustin remembering in the middle of his own question exactly why Thrawn knows Sabine. 😂 (Honestly, it's been so long since I watched Rebels I had a lot of slowly resurfacing memories while watching Ashoka myself.)

[@de68a]

So editing software doesnt work for Ahsoka but works for trailers, films and now X-Men... weird that....

[@Kevykins]

Hope to get the next reaction soon! I’ve been following these 😁

[@dice268926]

Very cool, Augstin connecting Kylo helmet with the Zombie Trooper uniform

[@Manx36]

Baylan is like Dukoo, he isn’t Sith, he never embraced the dark side of the force, he uses the force but from the perspective of he’s working for the greater good. He doesn’t view his choices as evil, he views them as the choices of a realist, the order is gone, the Jedi are gone and any of them left won’t see him as one of them.

[@ziawilliams-collier8684]

The Purgil would use it to filter the tibana gas that they need to travel through hyperspace

[@DarthDimadome]

The hyperspace jumps actually aren't instantaneous. The scene where Luke is training with Obi-Wan on the Falcon is happening while they're in hyperspace. I believe normal jumps can last from minutes to several hours depending on the route and distance. It just so happens that this hyperspace ring is so powerful that it can make such a long jump in the same amount of time it would take any other ship to make a normal one.

[@RZR1973]

They’re not Sith nor are they Jedi, they use orange sabers not red ones. Also Shin is wearing a Jedi padawan hair braid.

[@Lycandros]

Any update on the last episode of Echo?

[@darrinnoble]

Thrawn moves his pawns around while also playing the long game. Like Papa Palps.

[@rb3k157]

If I have to hear “shout out to the keiner’s one more time bruh” 😂

[@BeckOfficial]

Fun fact: Lars Mikkelsen (Thrawn) was actually in a fan made Star Wars short film called "Shrouded Destiny: A Star Wars Long Tale" before he landed his role as Thrawn.

[@MarcusWilliams]

Good thing Sabine stumbled across the Erocks

[@darchangel8675309]

Thrawn may not use the Force-but he aligned himself with the Dathomiri, who are arguably more powerful than Sith in regard to the Dark Side. Even Palpatine wouldn’t challenge Clan Mother Gethzerion directly; he instead set up a military blockade to keep her from leaving Dathomir.

[@Dzzimmy]

Love your reactions. I notice you keep referring to Baylan and Shin as "sith". I think it's it important to note that they are not sith. They may not be Jedi, but they most certainly are not sith either.

That was Ezra's theme playing when Ezra and Sabine hugged. It's really a shame Hector didn't get to watch Rebels first but that show is better on the second watch anyway.

[@JAYWALKER1000]

While actors don't always play their actual age (Oh, I can do younger,- wigs and make up and such.*) ray Stevenson was 58. *quote or, at least, paraphrase from Keeping Up Appearances.

[@tylerbrown5526]

Hector, PLEASE watch Rebels lol

[@thesharpercoder]

Those tall pillars you see when Sabine and company first land are similar to those seen in Rebels S2E21, “Twilight of the Apprentice”, which was a few years before the recent “Dune” films. Why are so many people suggesting that Star Wars has copied from Dune, when that is hardly the case? Both franchises borrowed heavily from Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” trilogy, most especially Star Wars. Dune tried to be the polar opposite of Foundation, while Star Wars tried to be Foundation on steroids. Did you know that robots have a role to play in Foundation, while Dune is intentionally devoid of robots and computers? Foundation. Did you know that their ships use hyperdrives to fly through hyperspace across the galaxy? They also carry sidearms called blasters that fire bolts of energy. There is even a dry, arid planet in the Outer Rim of the galaxy where the overthrow of the Galactic Empire begins. Oh, yeah. The galactic capital is located on a city-planet near the galactic core. There are people with strange mental powers and physical abilities, too.

[@SweetSlytherinGirl-Jennifer]

If you got episode 7 waiting to watch right after, we should be seeing the reaction in a day or so, right? Right???? 🥺 Please? (I'm kidding (sort of), I know you have lives and other things to do, I just love watching these reactions!)

[@keplerthe3399]

Spoiler, I really think just as Anakin is guiding Ahsoka, Abeloth is guiding Baylan. This is why the Nightsisters could not see Sabine because its Anakin's influence. In other words Abeloth and Anakin could be playing 4D chess. Spoiler due to the Mortis connection… I think we're going to learn that the Nightsisters will lose their power when Baylan releases Abeloth to end the cycle. Think about it, as far as we know, there was no consequences to the death of the Ones and no one doing what the Father did until, assuming, Anakin is now the father. That's a 30 year gap that's never happened since The Father showed up a long time ago. Vader, The Emperor or the Empire is not the greater consequence to Anakin not fulfilling his destiny at that time. It's just the repeating cycle, empires have come and gone just like the Jedi, Baylan wants to end it and Abeloth is the new beginning. I think this is why The Nightsisters want off Peridia. Abeloth will come, we'll learn the Nightsister power is to Abeloth as the Son and the Daughter is to the Dark side and the light side of the force, except she will take her power back. Something tells me the scene where Rey fights the Emperor in The Rise of Skywalker when we hear both Ahsoka, Anakin and the other Jedi help Rey is going to be tied to essentially, Anakin's influence verses Abeloth's.

DO THE BAD BATCH

[@Sherman1fan]

Former Jedi, not a Sith (all reactions are already recorded but just saying).

[@AceofDymonds]

The music, character designs, settings, and effects of this show are consistently great, and it has a lot of amazing "Star Wars Moments" sprinkled throughout (about a half dozen in the previous ep alone). But, it has about 3 1/2 episodes worth of plot and story decompressed across 8 episodes and the character writing, outside of a couple like Baylan, generally isn't that great IMO. These D+ shows need Writers' Rooms, more than they need fan-favorite show runners.

[@stianjohansen1002]

ZzzzzzZzz to late guys

[@DoctorFatality]

my biggest criticism of the show was that Ezra's reunions weren't emotional enough given the circumstances

[@DAVIDELLIOTT]

I'm not sure what I expected, but the whole "another galaxy" was a bit anti-climactic. This could just be a new planet in the original galaxy.

[@sgrapness4678]

I really didn't like anything that happens after the Sabine Ezra hug. The whole "let's not talk about that now" started the slide.
