Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul aka the guy with a big Hyuang like Ahsoka..
-
Welcome to the Heavy Spoilers show, I'm your host Paul and this video we're breaking down Ahsoka Episode 4.
-
We're now at the mid point of the series and the episodes packed with easter eggs, hidden details and lots of things going on with it that we need to talk about. Picking up immediately after last weeks entry, that saw Ahsoka and co discovering the Eye of Sion after tracing the super star destroyer tracking device. This of course also explains how Hera shows up this week going against the Senators orders. Whether that means some of them are still inline with the Empire remains to be seen but as we know there are imperials in every aspect of the new republic.
Anyway Ahsoka and co ended up landing in the Forest which is when droids were sent out after them and that takes us into the brand new entry. Directed by Pete Ramsey he co-directed Into The Spider-verse and Season 3 Episode 5 Of The Mandalorian.
-
Now we begin with the T6s crew trying to fix the ship so that they can reach out to home one with whats going on.

[@philipgilbert3772]

I realized who Marrok is now.... He's the Witch King from LOTR except his body crunches up rather than his head 😁 And I wonder how they will get to the other galaxy now. I wonder... I wonder I wonder hmmm 😜

[@doyouevendraft]

I feel a bit for you having to have to keep looking for theories that ain’t there. I avoided reading anything about Marrok and his arc was just fine. Not the big bad at all. Just a bad guy with a story. Like Bosk

[@jonathanstafford3383]

Two continuity errors… the ship rising out of atmosphere after already being shown in space multiple times (right before launching into hyperspace they make it sound like they are just leaving the atmosphere….. second upon Sabine getting choked her lightsaber is on the ground then picked up by shin the next shot it’s on sabines hip then the next scene back in shins hands

[@TheDenofNerdsLIVE]

THANK YOU BRO! Much love!

[@bryanheilman4376]

Best episode so far of the series, definitely the best live action star wars in decades

[@TimeBucks]

Baylan is easily my favorite character.

Ray really knocked it out of the park as Baylan. Stole the spotlight every scene he was in this episode. Would've loved him being in future Star Wars content 😢

[@upisntdownsilly]

maybe a different actor or animated, though not likely and he mightve even met his demise in the ahsoka series itself

[@tommyleprechaun]

He has a stoic knight feel to him. Such a great actor. Will miss his presence

[@marcoscorpas2752]

​@tommyleprechaun yup! That scene where he fights Ahsoka screams "knight" lol

[@TheSuperSnake313]

My thoughts exactly, rest in peace. Would have loved a prequel story for Baylon

[@ElijahNMitchell]

😭😭😭

[@alex1311t]

Baylan is easily my favorite character. They didn’t make him a stereotypical evil villain who easily loses to the “good guy”. The dude is stoic, has a purpose he feels he needs to fulfill. He’s a good “villain” who in my opinion isn’t a villain. He’s a grey character because he isn’t evil, he’s just doing what he thinks is right, which is bringing order to the galaxy

[@Danderlion]

I feel like he the type of that charismatic villain

[@kook1201]

I agree. He has great knight energy. He also mirror asoka on a way. He loke her doesn't feel the path of the jedi was best and that they where corrupt. He is trying to be what he thinks a jedi should be.

[@lorenzog7811]

You can empathize with him. He lost faith after Anakin killed all of his friends and the order fell. His methods might be, but I don't believe he is evil at all.

[@rafe985]

Gives me a lot of Dooku vibes

[@lorenzog7811]

@@rafe985 absolutely

[@Nemes1sXx]

Everyone being able to become something greater by hard work is a way better message than "you have to be lucky and born with talent to be something". So I personally think that everyone having the Force within them and can manifest it with enough training is way better.

[@sangvoba4340]

ok

[@alioda_]

Marrock was actually a nightsister spawn. Morgan's. It's like in Clone Wars, Rebels and Jedi Fallen Order when Nightsisters use their magic to either ressurect sisters that died before or to control Zabraks

[@daimyofett733]

Hence why his armor looks rusted. Because he was an Inquisitor who already died, but was brought back with nightsister majik.

[@daimyofett733]

I was coming down to the comments to post the express the same theory 😅

[@Jean-jw4hw]

so Ahsoka one of the best jedi warrior was struggling vs a "spawn" ?! so funny. what a terrible writting

[@reyskywalker666]

​@@Jean-jw4hwshe composed herself and destroyed him in one swing lmao

[@austinduff6493]

He literally says that in the video

[@damienhine1861]

I think Anakin will give her a pep talk but it won't be the world between worlds which brings Ahsoka to Ezra. It'll be the purgill and they'll bring Hera's ships too.

[@middleway5271]

Thats what I was thinking as well.

[@Meklerens]

I think there will be Anakin/Vader moments with ahsoka until he tells her that she shouldnt feel bad for abandoning him that it was vader not her. Same as in obi-wan.

[@T4ilorm4de]

@@Meklerensyeah they say next episode supposed to be about destiny so he probably gone show her like different eras or universe were he always fall

[@yodasmokes7455]

All is as the Force Wills It

[@losingit2k]

Good Theory! Ahsoka is going to have to connect with the Purgill through the force the was Ezra did!

[@brennanbarnes7628]

I never really focused on Marrok's identity as I didn't think there was going to be a massive reveal for it, the show is about Ahsoka & Sabine trying to find Ezra & stop Thrawn so for them to add a Starkiller, Barris Offee or someone else into the mix really would've diluted the focus of the show. It is SUCH a shame about Ray Stevenson's passing as his Baylan is absolutely mesmerizing, he'll be greatly missed and long remembered.

[@clarry9266]

The fact that both of the shows I loved so much have come together 😭 legit screamed when he called her snips cause their relationship was so deep and it’s great to see it even acknowledged

[@aliciacrosier723]

I freaked too. Once he spoke I felt like crying it was so special

[@2Z6T]

tbh i wasn’t surprised since it’s written by filoni who also wrote the clone wars and rebels

[@Ajjosan]

@@aliciacrosier723I admit I cried seeing Hayden haha brought back so many great childhood memories

Filoni is Lucas's rightful successor and should be overseeing anything with the star wars name on it. Dude is a genius.

[@dreadelectric7745]

SITH SORCERY!

[@phr3ui559]

how do they do it

[@dae316]

I feel one of baylan’s force abilities is mind reading. Especially after he knew that stuff about Sabine as well.

[@jake_gon_jinn]

Yeah, it might be. Whether he can or not, one thing is obvious. He's absolutely powerful in using the Force. I love to see his back story.

[@bleedingcrystal4722]

It would also explain him knowing that Anakin was Vader

[@goofysmp]

He did close his eyes and take a deep breath like he was tapping into the force so that would make sense

[@Darknight127]

Yeah that was a pretty quick download of her mind

[@Kenny-nk8gm]

Sabine is a Mandalorian, so why doesn't she have her jet pack? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@mrcead]

Baylan's episode hands down. He was holding back during the fight and the way he shifted gears to gain Sabine's compliance, brilliant. A Nightsisters one off would be brilliant

[@HanBowloOG]

I loved his face slightly lighting up in joy as did mine at the same time when the hyperdrives all started up before they take off and his plan was unfolding, only character that is annoying me so far is Sabine, really making some bonehead decisions, if only they would have stuck together like the Droid said

[@claudemartelly7421]

Ashoka was definitely holding back until she hurt her hands.

[@LordProng123]

I didn't get that impression at all. He only won the fight because Ahsoka was injured. She was clearly the better fighter.

[@mrcead]

​@@LordProng123 never said he was a better fighter, he wasn't trying to kill Ahsoka = holding back. Don't know why you think I'm coming at Ahsoka, Ray Stevenson telegraphed his intent to the audience brilliantly enough to mention it

[@Ekshaggy]

​@oFaTaLMiStAkEo Sabine is a the one character I really want to like but so far hate how she is written. For someone who dealt with the Empire as a rebel experiencing the losses, hardships and just plain cruelty to just give up the map is stupid. It's like her past battles and experiences were ignored and we're left with a poorly written angsty teen, not someone battle hardened.

[@DAWanamaker]

This episode was the best of not only the series, but of all of the live action Star Wars TV shows/episodes. When Ahsoka asked Sabine if she could count on her, we all KNEW the answer was a resounding NO.

[@calebadams8170]

The score felt like a callback to Anakin’s fall to the dark side. I can’t quite put my finger on why though.

[@rubenszabo967]

how can you say this, every episode of andor is better than any episode of ahsoka

[@aflyingmachine]

I don't feel so. I am so bored and I don't know why. Can't even see this oled dome shots no more yikes.

[@Sunstar808]

I don’t believe Ahsoka acted out of anger in the battle. The stakes were high and she had to quickly disable Shin, in a non lethal way, before implementing the Star map again. It reminds me of a no nonsense Mace Windu. Loved all the fighting scenes of an incredible episode.

[@scatteredstones]

That was actually my take as well. She knew she her odds of success drop significantly if she has to battle two of them, so she quickly took out the weaker one before she was ready.

[@Sunstar808]

@@scatteredstones Agreed

[@CornyBum]

I also think Ahsoka would've sensed it if Sabine had been killed...or does that only work between Force users (or in mass death events like Alderaan)?

[@sharonkoech1472]

My favorite

[@chromacypher8409]

I love that Baylon appealed to Sabine, rather than attacking and killing her. Knowing Sabin struggles againt Hati, he would decimate Sabine. But the weakness in Sabine, Baylon exploited it masterfully. This episode was insane, and I can't wait for the next episode!

[@mrcead]

I'm hoping Baylan is a softie and Sabine reminded him of someone he lost. His grand plan could be related to that. Something a father would do

[@sdqsdq6274]

quite obvious sabine is the one using him , ahsoka got kick off the cliff , presume dead by sabine , only choice is to give in

[@konrad1916]

For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures. 1 Corinthians 15:3-4sinsacrificeJesusresurrection

[@Ruylopez778]

Before Baylan says, ‘do it’, he says, ‘it is the only way’, Vader’s line to Luke in ESB, so this moment is like a combination of ROTS and ESB, with the offer made, and the recipient being convinced.

[@ssotkow]

Paul, don't you think Ahsoka had a chance to destroy the map with her saber, but instead grabbed it? I think a part of her wanted to help Sabine bring back Ezra, pershaps shouldering lingering guilt over failing her Padawan, so Ahsoka didn't have it in her to take that last hope away from Sabine in that very moment. Emotions get the better of them, even the best force wielders from a long line of non-traditional Jedis.

[@heavyspoilers]

Possibly, should’ve just force pushed it into the sea tbh

[@ssotkow]

[@brunosanz7477]

Baylon used his lightsaber to destroy it and it took a while for his saber to cut it, bit even then she could have just force pushed it to the sea

[@Jean-jw4hw]

no its just terrible writting. Everything is wrong about sabine. and as usual the "force" will be used as a tool to justify miserable character writting. its like Ahsoka struggling to kill a "spawn" because the plot want her to let them live in previous episode. I HATE LAZY narration !!!

[@IamMarian]

@@Jean-jw4hwsadly as soon as fanboys saw Anakin, it made the episode 11/10 no matter what. Typical SW 😁

[@galacticempire1068]

Haven’t finished the video yet, but my theory is that because of Ashoka being revived by the daughter and having the true light side in her, when she dies she ends up in the world between worlds. My guess is that until she has fulfilled her destiny granted to her by the force, she won’t be able to truly die

[@faizal4655]

Interesting. I was thinking Anakin pulled ahsoka to the world between worlds. Remember on mortis anakin did bring balance to the realm, even tho they all died. I think anakin will give a chat, then turn to Vader and fight ahsoka. Something something accepting death and she doesn't die but learn some kind of valuable lesson. Reminiscent of the old clone wars quotes.

[@T4ilorm4de]

Yesss me n you are thinking a like and anakin took the father spot so they both been connected to it😊

[@losingit2k]

Sound as good as anything I've Heard! next Episode is going to be crazy!

[@losingit2k]

@@faizal4655 yeah I can see this Happening. They did play the Empire / Vader's Theme at the end of the Episode. Like you said, Anakin will turn into Vader, a battle will ensue and they'll both fall through a gate into Mustafar to continue the fight as the leaks have indicated.

[@jetadaman]

Yes very similar to Gandalf, like filoni has mentioned

[@FanBoyBooks]

Ive got a theory... Morgan has some crazy plan she put together before Ahsoka showed up in Mando. She already knew about the maps location but never went to get it. She just gave the location to Ahsoka. Even in last episode they said slow down Ashoka and crew.. Not kill them. I think Ahsoka has and still is part of Morgans plan.

[@Un_Sorted]

Do we think that Ahsoka could use the world between worlds to reach Ezra? Repaying the favour for Ezra saving her from the duel with Vader. It would be a gut punch for Sabine as she sided with Baylan to save Ezra

[@pasiojala3227]

Could, but won't.

[@xuttuh5260]

Sabine has basically turned to the dark side. Baylan spared her because she joined him.

[@ven902]

Saying she sided with baylan is kinda strong. She just couldn't give up on Ezra and destroy the map

[@KhinAyeMyint-zi7dr]

@@xuttuh5260 more like she surrendered than joining

[@OldmanSk8ing]

The old Star Wars trope. Attachments to people create situations where you have to choose to let them go or be selfish.

[@_TheViewer_]

There go those Marrock-Ezra-Theories, so much to that 😂😂😂😂😂

[@austinmedz98]

Ahsoka vs Marrock felt exactly like a samurai duel! Looked exactly like a battle from Ghost of Tsushima. It was so awesome to see that type of combat in Star Wars 🔥🔥

[@LutherBuilds]

I loved the Ahsoka vs Baylan fight. Just the staring each other down with light sabers humming brought back memories of Obi wan vs Vader in A New Hope.

[@5353Jumper]

I think Baylan has a lot of foresight. His "fear" is that he will fulfill his vision and kill Ashoka. "Inevitable" conflict that he wishes would not happen.

[@mrcead]

I'm glad someone else picked that up. You could see it on Baylan's face during the duel with Ahsoka he was doing just enough

[@jackw128]

​@@mrceaduntil she hurt his daughter, lost his cool for a second then

[@justintowns1007]

Loved the episode and could not wait for your breakdown. But I just wanted to say thank you for the Unity shout-out here for Den of Nerds. Seeing you and Greg's colab, bringing MT in, and now this. It's just good to see some of my favorite people supporting one another. It's incredible

[@Mitsoxfan]

I definitely was certain Marrok was neither Ezra, Starkiller nor Luuke. But I never would have guessed he was a sack full of nightsister smoke and magik.

[@justinstoll4955]

Really a shame because Baylan was of the most interesting and complex characters outside of Andor that Disney Star Wars. It's really sad Stevenson passed so young and so much more to give in life.

[@MMoloney86]

Baylan wants to get Thrawn so that he can be responsible for killing Thrawn. He wants the Jedi order to return; this is the power beyond anything Shin has ever seen.

[@janok2]

Aside from the Thrawn shots, the trailers for "Ahsoka" only show scenes from this first half of the series - something I realized about halfway through this episode. That thought is quite exciting, because we really don't know what's coming :) Kinda like we only saw scenes from the first act of Endgame in the trailers, because they didn't want to ruin the fun of exploring the time heist storyline, or the grand finale.

[@Jean-jw4hw]

at least it cant be worst

[@ICU1337]

And thats why I dont watch every single trailer for a show, let alone sit there analyzing the 🤬out of them😉Lifes better with the mystery and some times these people get so carried away with the trailer that you end up with the whole damned story...🤦🏽‍♂ Looking at you BvS😒

[@skavanagh2778]

​@@Jean-jw4hwgod, the constant whining from you. don't you have something better to do? why do you even watch it if you hate it so much lmao? get a job

[@dereklipp2292]

Baylan has a larger plan. I think he’s trying to access the world between worlds to un-do something. The “new beginning” he’s talking about is for himself - he’s dark now but you can sense that he’s not fully turned. Ray does such a great job conveying being conflicted but doing what he thinks needs to be done. He’s hesitant to fight Ahsoka or even fight Sabine at all, not out of fear but sadness and empathy. He has also shown he will do so if he needs to or is ordered to, he sure doesn’t seem happy about it and is always trying to talk his way out of a duel. Maybe he’s trying to reset and stop Order 66 and the murder of his master? All of his dialogue has seemed layered to hint at a deeper plan that was on the right side of good, at least to him. Really enjoyed this episode and this breakdown. Thanks Paul! Much love to MT as well!

[@6989uwu]

i like how baylan kept changing stances when ahsoka would change hers, it definitely shows his skill.

[@gelasticseizure]

Such a great episode. Loved the Japanese Maple forest, the padowan being put in a morally challenging scenario where she has to choose Id vs Ego/Superego. The fight scenes were also top notch, you really feel that one wrong move leads to a killing blow. When Ahsoka dodged Baylan's strike, got some height and swung at his face, then Baylan subtly slips the counter...it was all Akira Kurosawa level detail.

[@CornyBum]

Caring about a friend/family member is a function of the id? I thought the id represented much baser desires like hunger, libido, etc..

[@MrMangoEdits]

As someone who stuck with TCW and Rebels long before, it’s so satisfying to witness everything come full circle in Live Action. I’d Hate to be those who shunned both series simply because they were animated, they must be scratching their heads rn 😂

[@malekaius]

You and that damned Ryan Arey suck! I am “those”. Scratching my head because I gave up on Rebels too early. I have no idea what’s going on 😂

[@Daniel-ll2cl]

rebels actually sucked abit at times but i stuck it out. there was just too many boring filler episodes but when the plot progressed I loved it. star wars resistance is the only cartoon show i never gave a chance and never will

[@MrMangoEdits]

Anyone else feel like they did luke deaged way better and they should have not deaged anakin

[@goofysmp]

It looks like Ahsokas in the world between worlds but because Anakin said “didn’t expect to see you here so soon” might mean Ahsokas just unconscious and is just “one with the force” in a way. I feel as if he’s just going to tell her he’s not her fault and she needs to let him go to be there for Sabine. Although I’d rather just an hour long episode of them talking about life like a podcast lmao

[@Shayquaza]

Snips & Skyguy pod would be wonderful looool

[@SeAGoBLin15]

Baylan is a brilliant character. I was hooked on nearly every line.

[@SoldierSpiderx]

The attention to detail in lightsaber duels is tremendous, baylon vs ahsoka felt like a samurai vs a medieval knight and Baylon keeps becoming more and more interesting every episode RIP Ray Stevenson, truly a great performance and I'm just hoping people don't get mad over the expectations they set for marrok even tho the show did nothing to insinuate he was anything

[@betacancri1476]

Just like to point out that the sound effects on Baylon and Ahsoka’s lightsabers were outstanding!

[@Alpha_Beats]

In kendo, the position that Asohka takes with the lightsaber on his head is called Jodan no kamae, and it is the fire stance. Then when she puts the saber to one side of her body it is called Waki ​​no kamae, the gold stance and the one that Baylin uses at that moment is Hasso no kamae and it is the tree posture. When they have the sword down at the level of the belly button, it is called chudan no kamae and it is the posture of the water.

[@GeorgeLopez-ml5vw]

How you come out with these so fast… is crazy 😂 much respect. I used to think all this was SO nerdy, I just really enjoyed episode 3. During Covid I had time to dive into the Lore with Clone Wars and Rebels… THANK YOU Defi… I mean, Paul.

[@d2beej]

How could you not like this episode??? Absolutely amazing!

[@marcbrehaut9510]

Because. Continuity errors. Turgid dialog. Wasted character (whatever that inquisitor was). Faster-than-the-Falcon travel. Impenetrable plot armour. Ashoka’s fighting style does not mirror her training through clones and rebels. Lack of wire work. Static combats. Loose plot threads. Too much focus on Easter Eggs and geeking out and not enough attention to the story. No Thrawn (just how is he communicating?) All this and much more in this weeks episode of S.O.A.P.

[@nintendofan6499]

@marcbrehaut9510 Once episode 5 comes out you will regret what you said about ep4 mark my words

[@CornyBum]

@@marcbrehaut9510 Not saying you're _all_ wrong, but here are some points you made I wanna question: 1. Why is Marrok's death a waste? If intent matters, maybe he was written to serve as an expendable antagonist that builds interest/intrigue with a hidden face and also shows another glimpse of Morgan Elsbeth's potential power through his magic-evident death. If you thought it was wasteful just cuz it didn't match your expectations/hopes for the character, what would you have preferred? Can a new character be introduced in the other half or so of the season left that can satisfy those hopes/expectations? 2. "Lack of wire work"? You wanted more complicated stunts that involved people flying/jumping and acrobatics? 3. You criticize the lack of Thrawn and question how he communicates. Firstly, if you wanted Thrawn by now, fine, that's what you want, and the show didn't provide. Do you at least see the sense of putting him off for later to build intrigue and invest more in narrative and character development by showing the _journey_ to him? Also, it's very understandable if you didn't know this like I just learned, but Thrawn's gonna be the antagonist in Dave Filoni's _Star Wars_ *film.* That at least makes it much more understandable for the show to focus on these _other_ characters just working so far on _finding_ him, right? As for Thrawn communicating, is there any evidence that he _has_ communicated from his exile? Maybe I'm forgetting something, but I thought everything so far was just about people trying to find him without hearing from him at all. ...finally, what's "S.O.A.P."? :P

[@miguelsoward9627]

This episode has me thinking Baylon is a play on Joruus C'baoth. His line of “serving a greater good” is very reminiscent to how Joruus C'baoth sounded.

[@Darrin67]

Its a real shame that this dude who played Baylan died. He is GREAT in this. Not since Paulie Walnuts in the Sopranos have I seen a character absolutely steal every single scene he's in.

[@CornyBum]

I wish they did more with the map ball, it was my favorite character.

[@Roache93]

Paul, you so eloquently explained the wacky setup of the order of storytelling in star wars. Perfectly put, and without a stutter or mistake- I don't think that's getting enough recognition lol

[@LauraSofia071]

I felt the same about the first 3 episode but this one gave me hope that the show can still be a huge win

[@rlamontsmith]

Great breakdown, Paul; I was in tears of laughter at the whole Marrok theory stuff. 😂 One thing, I feel you're thinking too hard on the whole "...Senate appearing in holograms was supposed to resemble the Shadow Council........echoing how they're two wings of the same bird". Surely the hologram tech is simply the de facto way to hold a conference call in this universe, akin to almost everyone in the business world using Teams IRL?

[@heavyspoilers]

Yeah you’re probably right

[@CornyBum]

pretty sure we meet in Zoom rooms just like the Illuminati do, echoing how we're all just their pawns and followers without knowing it

[@IrisOsiris]

The way they focused on fighting stances and each person trying to anticipate the other during the duel was excellent. They havent quite showed that in star wars the same way until this.

[@susanfreehan4098]

thankyou to you and your team. I really enjoy your takes (and the witty comments, so far not too snarky) - I actually check your page first when Im looking for updates now --- and so glad you added MT and the discussions with Greg give different perspectives..

[@outlawstar4923]

Episode 5 is going to be heartbreaking between Ahsoka and Anakin

[@dylanduff1884]

best piece of Star Wars television ever

[@TheDeadSpider]

Bobf episode 7 better

[@kadegetslaid634]

Live action yes, animated probably not

[@theoriginalpizzalicious]

[@JKOversion1]

I really enjoyed this video. Really got the sense you're buzzing Paul. Hope the next few episodes ramp up. Thanks bro

[@Timbo6669]

I love the fact droids still a have a safety function to countdown before self-destruction. It’s like a left over remnant of Asimov’s robotic laws but now slightly twisted due to age or decay. Just a thought.

[@jonathanmajor7189]

I don’t think this is set before Book of boba fett. There is no confirmation regarding this. Ahsoka easily could’ve just stopped by luke. Additionally, ahsoka when speaking to Luke alluded to the idea she had something to deal with.

[@IsiahBradley]

THANKS for this, Paul!!! Tried to wait up for you but you were smart to get some sleep :)

[@youngbubbiesclub2848]

Baylan always seems really disinterested in Thrawn when discussing their plans. It seems like he might be more invested in getting to the stolen Lothal ruins on Thrawn's ship and getting to the world between worlds like Palpatine wanted.

[@olamideiledare5233]

Nope you can’t retire 😂 but love the additions to the team. Keep the laughs and smiles coming

[@purple12334]

I loved this episode from start to finish! The World Between Worlds scene was excellent!

[@Denjiman-qz9mi]

No matter how this show ends, it gave us Hayden Christiansen saying "Snips" and I'll always be grateful for that.

[@MrFrodster]

Totally got Isildur and Elrond vibes. “Destroy it!”

[@Explain5AI]

100%

[@cmcguckin85]

I think you’re wrong on the timeline. Because how can in Mando season three the shadow council anticipate Tharen’s return, and yet him already be defeated before book a Boba Fett, which takes place before season three.

[@dr.stephenstrange8471]

True.

[@matthewmcneal5386]

More MT the way to be !! Loved you channel for a very long time, but have an MT you guys make it great

[@n1c3s43]

Mate your SW analysis‘ are the best, good info and jabs at the sequels, i absolutely love it

[@jarnold420ja]

So funny marrock was a fart!!😂😂

[@heavyspoilers]

loooooool

[@mapipiisraelhahd5443]

This was an incredible piece of Star Wars

[@niesenjohn]

I'd love to get some of the drugs you are currently on.

[@AbhaySingh-jl6sk]

Rip Ray stevenson man really played the roll powerfully writing for the character is also awesome

[@lw4570]

I really did not expect to start bawling at Anakin and Ahsoka's reunion

[@CosmicWolf1993]

Seeing Anakin at the end was great but I enjoyed the episodes so far and I'm anxious to see what happens next

[@gr8tbigtreehugger]

Whenever I need to feel good, I rewatch the Heavy Spoilers major announcement with MT! Also, many thanks for this breakdown!

[@matthewwendt7315]

Ahhhh I love when you say "go mental" cheers mate!

[@RosinBoii]

this is why videos explaining the star wars timeline are much appreciated

[@hordakprime6172]

I think that the new galaxy will be the stage for the new Trilogy. I also suspect that Sabine will fall to the dark side.

[@kadegetslaid634]

Probably won't

[@leekvision2673]

I think if Baylon wants to access the world between worlds it would be to go back in time to the moment when Annakin turned to the dark side and smite him. He said it was shame there were so few jedi left. Maybe he wants to prevent order 66.

[@nicksues1695]

I loved this episode definitely my favorite so far. We are really enjoying it at our house. Thanks for the breakdown!

[@jrward3167]

The music after the end scene was brilliant

[@armynation31B5V5P]

☆ FIRST with the breakdown. Again, outstanding job. ☆ Screen Crush gonna mad you beat him agin.

[@heavyspoilers]

Lol I love Ryan

[@armynation31B5V5P]

​@heavyspoilers We know you love Ryan. But, he's always talking about my Mom. 😅😅😅😅

[@k1ngxrandom]

I personally think that the "green gas" we see come out of Marrok when he is defeated was a nightsister spirit like the ones in Star Wars Rebels when Maul took Ezra to Dathomir. Kanan and Sabine got possessed by one, though only temporarily

[@OLiZzLe69]

This episode was incredible, how could you NOT enjoy it??…🥴

[@maja.z.pszczola]

The energy from the light speed jump reminded me of the energy blasts from the Malevolence in The Clone Wars…

[@kog8952]

Just finished watching Ep 4 and my god that was an amazing episode, one of the best bits of anything that I watched in a long time, the whole episode was just so exciting to me. Edit: I really enjoyed watching the end of the episode it made me want more which is an excellent feeling to give someone while watching a show, also I was watching with subtitles on and was elated lets say when as the credits popped up it said Vader's Theme for a subtitle, which was a perfect moment from the friendly demeanor Anakin had to the sinister Vader theme.

[@BobaFett5474]

This was BY FAR the best episode. It's hard to care about a story when the main characters don't seem to care about anything. It finally felt like we got some emotion and excitement. I JUST WANT TO SEE THRAWN!!!! The way this series is going, I bet they show Thrawn only in the last few seconds of the last episode and then I will be pissed we have to wait 8 years for the rest of the story.

[@brandonjones8059]

Watched this video when it came out this morning love to see it trending too 5

[@thereal516]

When Marook gets that death strike, he spews out a very similar green dust to what was used when Elsbeth had the video conference with Shin & Baylan.

[@bleedingcrystal4722]

I wonder if she will be given a choice to change Anakins fate. It would be interesting to go alongside with the choice that Sabine was faced with.

[@fennlikesturtles101]

so Marrok was the new Mephisto... Who'd have thought..

[@MuhammadIrfanbinIshak]

I have always love the idea that the force is in everything and everybody but only few people managed to figured out how to access it. Just like success where only those who keep trying and never give up will taste it.

[@animalsrcute5762]

I love how thorough you guys are with your videos and you put up a 1 to 1 comparison to show work ❤ I am really liking the show, Ray Stevenson is a Boss, and I do love the strong kick butt Women showing up in the Disney plus stuff ( some seen other places prior )🔥💪💝👏👏👏

[@MarcoPolo-se4fr]

I really wish theyd find a way to make every episode AT LEAST 45 minutes.

[@CornyBum]

keep thinking like that and they'll get the writers of _The Book of Boba Fett_ and _Obi-Wan Kenobi_ pumping out filler, be careful what you wish for

[@ChateauScholt]

I really like Marrock just have been hot air, did not see that coming. I thought all these speculations were a bit over the top, but my favourite one was beeing it was Sabines brother. Funny how alot of people fell in this trap.

[@MikeLikes2Eat]

I'm glad to see MT find a home him. I miss him over at NR, but at least he is still doing the thing that he loves to do. Can't wait to see more of him. Just subscribed because of it. Looking forward to the new content to consume.

[@TheSkrillox]

Great video, but have to admit I'm sick of people hating on this series. It's been fantastic so far.

[@gabb5964]

The de-aging on Anakin is so much better than in the Obi-wan show. Thank you.

[@alenmartincevic8629]

What are you talking about, it does not look at all as Hyden. The guy does not need de-aging at all, he is immortal like Keanu

[@thomasjeppesen3055]

They didn’t even de age him in Kenobi but now that we’ve seen him in Ahsoka I get why they didn’t do it. If he is a force ghost, I don’t get why they deaged him now. Hayden is technically as old as Anakin was when he died.

[@boomieboo]

Did Marrock collapse after the green smoke escaped from his armor? I don't recall that he did so that could mean there's still a body contained that was controlled by the witches instead of a pure smoke entity.

[@nwebb]

“I think Marrok might actually be Weed” - top tier commentary like that keeps me coming back. Ryan could never

[@shadow6024]

Loveddd this episode. Goosebumps as soon as I heard snips. And Unity looks lit nice shoutout

[@DuskyPredator]

For the record, wouldn't the smoke point towards a ghost like those of Dathomere? That could still point to Maul.

[@sakisaotome6753]

It was stated that Ahsoka is using place at the same time as season 3 Mando. So boba Fett has already taken place.

[@kalemlyle5646]

Thank you!!!

[@Ruylopez778]

Yeah, that bothered me. But LF could have done a much better job being clear when these shows take place, either in the show or in the promo.

[@KennySparksYT]

A channel called heavy spoilers has the most respectful title and thumbnail for this subject. It’s the Wild West scrolling through KZbin right now

[@joshmargolis1424]

Was iffy on the series but this episode kicked things up. - Marrok being the smoke monster from LOST reanimated through night sister magic and weed / going out like a chump - baylan's duel going through the different forms - sabine "using" the force - jacen experiencing death through the force then dropping the saddest "ive got a bad feeling" - carson and phoenix squad joining the ghost - baylan talking sabine down with that +5 rizz - finally the world between worlds with the smoothest transition in star wars then revealing ANAKIN the MAN-AKIN

[@shawnberry760]

In regards to the force, you could always apply the rules of dungeons and dragons. They have wizards warlocks and sorcerers each one of those classes special connection with magic much like individuals have a special connection with the force.

[@ICU1337]

My guy Donnie Yen had a stronger connection to the force and he still wasnt doing any force pushes... Filoni is jumping the shark on this one...

[@shawnberry760]

@@ICU1337 did George Lucas jump the shark? He said the same thing. It’s okay if you don’t agree but opinions aren’t always correct.

[@ICU1337]

@@shawnberry760 I know what George said. I've been listening to him all along even when people were upset with the whole midichlorians back in SW EP1 I accepted it (made sense). But what George stated and implied in his movies and canon is vastly different from whats being interpreted and canonized here. I guess maybe the disconnect is because we never saw Ahsoka training Sabine and everytime we see Sabine being trained in the Force, she fails miserably. So how does a person, who everytime we see them in a training montage fails, then goes on to use the Force... If she can use the Force then by comparison Donnie Yen shouldve been a god damn Jedi Master savant 🤷🏽‍♂

[@HeathRho]

@@ICU1337 she didn't USE the force, at least not with any significance. Not sure what you're rambling on about.

[@shawnberry760]

@@ICU1337 But chirrut did use the force at the end. There is no way anyone could have survived that. Same with using the force slightly when all hope was lost. I see no difference.
