AHSOKA EPISODE 3 BREAKDOWN! Easter Eggs & Details You Missed!

[@NewRockstars]

Who do you think Marrok is?

[@acefool8803]

Starkiller

[@scott4092]

I'm leaning towards Starkiller, but wouldn't it be a trip if it were MAUL? 😱

[@ScottKirfman]

Its Kanan.. In star wars, if you don't see their official dead body on screen, they are usually not dead. But he didn't turn to the dark side, he went undercover to infiltrate and discover the location of ezra.

[@jorwegs]

Galen Marek, Starkiller, get it Marrok - Marek

[@soultheinterrogator]

Huge stretch, but it's Cal Kestis. His helmet is blue in the intro. He's either undercover or will get redeemed and help them

[@TheRenegadeMage]

Something I noticed as one of the Jedi protocols is the way they pull out of hyperspace and how far they are from the nearby star system. That explains why Vader got pissed off when the Empire invaded Hoth. "He is as clumsy as he is stupid"

[@apjoeapjoe]

Great catch! 🙂

[@Metaldog14150]

Seatos clearly gets its name from Ancient Greek. Ceto was the goddess of sea monsters, giving us the word cetos (which means sea monster) and the Latin word "Cetus" which means, specifically, "whale" (it is also the name of a Constellation).

[@insydian]

This seems right

[@natetheknight2809]

I just wrote a comment suggesting the same thing, before I found yours. I think it’s a reference to the purrgil, especially considering the voice clip at 23:45 in the video, where Huyang says “…star whales, named purrgil.” Like Cetus being a whale made up of stars (as a constellation).

[@jamesgeeks8569]

I made a similar claim on the last video, I thought for a second he would bring that up

[@scott4092]

Good call!

[@shanabaker6197]

I was thinking the same thing! Cetacean-Seatos! (But it could also be “Sea-tossed”)

[@willjarman5670]

P-47 is nicknamed “Thunderbolt”, not “Mustang”. That was the P-51.

[@jongarrison9417]

That jumped out at me as well.

[@matthewdavenport7557]

It was very painful to hear. @@jongarrison9417

Considering that they couldn't actually be referring to a WW2 fighter from our Galaxy (Their Galaxy apparently is far, far away from what I have been led to believe)

[@prestonshirley9864]

Thank you! Ryan Erie did the same thing, but he called the Mustang a P-15.

[@tryorse8340]

[@banjopiggottwright1802]

I'm loving this show immensely. Bring on Episode 4

[@lochlanhowardd]

I will never comprehend how you guys get these out so quickly

[@stephenrawson3596]

Sabine spins the wings to rescue Ahsoka. Ahsoka comments “that’s a good trick”. A little nod to Anakin in Phantom Menace

[@jameschulo8187]

Loved that the dark Jedi were right behind them because they follow Jedi protocol

[@arveranteos712]

Yes, they are fighting an opponent who knows how they operate. They need to stop following standard Jedi protocol, else they are going to walk into an even bigger trap.

[@faitheffect254]

Is that why they stayed directly behind the rear gun that only points to the rear and only shoots directly behind them.

[@jameschulo8187]

@@faitheffect254 that was plot!

[@johnymey4034]

Oof, imagine reading into it this much.

[@Backyardpastor]

Yeah I know 🤣🤣🤣

[@VinceBarter]

Ahsoka is staying on the ship and jumping sideways because she is using the force to manipulate her position, like Leia did.

[@jameslars7391]

Plus with Star Wars space doesn't really work like actual space.

[@Failtasmagoria]

Force users have used the force in space in books, comics, games, etc for decades

[@whexs4672]

Other than Leia, Ashoka also actually wears a spacesuit here, which makes this way less laughable than the Leia scene.

[@RyanHaney55]

I'm glad the trailer footage has mostly been shown. Now, we can go in free and unspoiled. I laughed at the cup scene and the camera turning to see its reaction.

[@rhodrage]

I think Hera is going to disobey the new republics orders, recruit Zeb, and Kallus, and take the Ghost to help Ahsoka and Sabine.

[@Nergalsama01]

"Once a Rebel, always a Rebel."

[@de_sibelios]

Kallus back would be great!!!!

[@inazumaprimex100]

Based on the fact that we have like no news about Kallus' live action casting I'd say that's unlikely. Also that wouldn't be great writing

[@de_sibelios]

@@inazumaprimex100 we had no news from Zeb live action until Mandalorian S03.

[@heywasup6466]

and Captain Rex

[@ElectricIguana]

It was trippy AF when Ahsoka teleported during training. Great effect!

[@jcwisemusic2020]

The space dogfight was so cool! Brings back tons of feels from the original trilogy and RotS. Shin looks more bad ass every scene she is in. She gives me young Anakin vibes

[@sethael1741]

is that the blond pudel? .. badass...? omfg..

[@Native_Creation]

Absolutely

[@nerdjocky8006]

It’s cool seeing a ship take a hundred hits? Star Wars used to have some stakes

[@yannickcoman8716]

Why did the ship have unlimited health tho? Comlpletly ruined the scene. The ship was out of power and took several attack waves while ashoka jumped around in space and almost no damage at all. I dont know how anybody would write such a bad storyline.

[@KAHill1993]

Marrok had more of an opportunity to shoot and didn’t. There’s a deeper connection there, can’t wait to see what unfolds

[@fmaries7000]

Absolutely obsessed with this series! 👏👏👏👏😎

[@Trilaan]

Zatoichi the Blind Swordsman is one of my favorite franchises, that reference made me extremely happy.

[@jeffreycarman2185]

The starfighters, and the dogfight this episode were awesome.

[@Equivalate]

I like to think that the Hyperspace ring was a Thrawn blueprint. He always had an eye for improving tech. The TIE defenders for one. And we know he had a curiosity of the Hyperspace ring that Anakin had. Would be like him to build on and improve that, especially for an ISD

[@michaelgage652]

I don’t understand why Sabine would even question being able to fight blind after knowing and training with kanan.

[@Emerica771]

Women ☕️

[@damianplasencia2708]

kana was force sensitive though

[@MRGooodwineTV]

almost like kanan is more intuned with the force

[@orien2v2]

Since Kanan was blind did he actually take part in a duel? If so, was Sabine there to see it? I can't recall honestly.

[@laserbeamlightning]

@@orien2v2 they literally practice dueled while Kanan was blind

[@Screechman19]

I've been hoping they'd bring Starkiller back into canon and if he's in Ashoka I'll be so happy, also Starkillers name is Galen Marek (not that different from Marrok)

[@Native_Creation]

Could be a clone, like in Force Unleashed 2

[@mistamemewide]

Seeing Jacen say “I want to be a jedi” was just a gut punch. KANAN LIIIIIVES

[@andrewelliott8084]

P-47 was the Thunderbolt (pictured at 16:14 ) - not a Mustang which is a P-51

I liked the introduction of Jason/Jacen. Clever way to incorporate elements of the books without actually doing them.

[@sang1342]

Love that they used the Jedi comm headsets. Just really drives home how Baylon was once a member of the order Also sounded like they sampled the asteroid chase music from Empire during the Purrgil

[@Matt-bg5wg]

Marrok isn't Ezra. The actor playing Ezra isn't in the main credits for episode 3. He was in the credits for 1 & 2 and I thought because Ezra didn't appear in episode 2 maaaaybe he could've been Marrok. But no. He's not.

[@thattomciccone]

I agree that he isn't Ezra. However they just need a stuntman in a suit for Marrok so the Ezra actor doesn't need to be in the episode.

[@scott4092]

@@thattomciccone Yep, the stuntman has been credited all season so far, so it could theoretically be Ezra after all. (Though I too doubt it is.)

[@jamescomer8701]

Not to mention it makes literally zero sense for it to be Ezra. Ezra just somehow made it back without Thrawn, and Thrawn never figured out how Ezra would've done it, even though he's a literal genius. Also Ezra comes back and doesn't contact anyone, just becomes a sith and starts working with Beylan and Morgan? I would literally stop watching Star Wars if that happened.

[@andrewcrandall6342]

I do think thats the holo sabers Huyang use are based off of Tatami mats which have bewn used in Japan to train the cuts of swordsmen

[@joshm7305]

This is a brilliant series so far. Feels really authentic and true to the original movies yet they’re incorporating some traditional Japanese styling which fit seamlessly.

[@gardion160]

Ngl its not been THAT promising so far, i mean it had some rlly kool moments but i hope it pulls it back with bringing in Thrawn soon

[@faitheffect254]

Brilliant?

[@Here4Hummus]

The acting has been so wooden. Intrigued by the story tho.

[@claudius3359]

Yes! Very creative.I also like the way they acknowledge the previous eras & medias: prequel style ships (even you can see it in the Eye of Scion),nightsister,aspects from EU stories,aesthetics of 'Rebels' is also still visible,blending with the style of The Mandalorian's cinematography.

[@nerdjocky8006]

I mean aside from the stale acting, another Jedi getting stabbed in the gut and surviving, the ship taking a 100 shots without damage, a lightsaber blocking ship blasters, and requiring us all to watch a kids cartoon, yeah it’s brilliant😂

[@felixwalne3494]

The dogfight was clearly inspired by WW2 footage. Loved it

[@AdvSpringBonnie]

Sabine trying to move the cup reminds me a lot of Ezra trying to do the same in Rebels as one of the first items he practices using the force on.

[@fyvp007]

I loved asoka fighting in space! Also shin is what I pictured Darth Zannah to be like as Bane’s apprentice

[@dpcnreactions7062]

Prob my favorite episode of the season thus far that space battle was sick I just wish it was longer hopefully next episode.

[@jaykera]

Marrok is definitely a star killer reboot and just like how andor threw in the canonization of the ancient people; I believe his armor appearing means he likely was a precursor to the inquisitors or was vaders apprentice before becoming an inquisitors.

Thankyou for more accurately guessing what those fighters looked like. My immediate thought was the I-16 Rata, a rather obscure plane. Other potential influences could be P-26 Peashooter or some of the early Grumman designs, leading up to the Bearcat.

[@sinnythejedi]

I think Marrok is Kanan… never saw him officially die, full coverage suit to mask his burns & Hera keeps conveniently getting written to be away from him.

True but in Rebels Palpatine says that he could feel the force shifting with Kanan’s death. And the wolf appearing as Kanan, him Appearing to Hera, etc.
