Ahsoka Episode 7 BREAKDOWN - Reaction & Review! Spoilers! Easter Eggs, Ending Explained!

[@Commander_Wolfe]

There are no Clone Wars fans vs Rebels fans…if you’ve only seen the “important” episodes then of course you’re not going to understand why Ahsoka is fan favorite. Someone who does what you do should know how important character development is, and you’ve missed all of it by picking and choosing which episodes to watch.

Part of why people are big fans of the Ahsoka character is because they’ve seen ALL of her Clone Wars appearances, not just the “important” ones. Seeing the progression (and growing up alongside her) from 2008 to now has been nothing short of incredible.

[@MrSandro141]

Right, the people who only watched the important episodes aren't fond of the character because they have no emotional investment. All the episode should be watched to appreciate her, and also we grew with her, that makes a huge difference.

Pfft. Obviously Rosario nvr did her homework. It's prominent from the featurettes, Rosario nvr mentioned watching Clone Wars or Rebels. No mention of embodying Ashley Eckstein's portrayal. She's completely doing her thing and the result is, this is not Ahsoka. Josh Brolin respectfully embodied Tommy Lee Jone's character in Men in Black 3. But here at Disney+, nobody cares enough.

She was so badass in that episode that she forever established herself as a force to be reckoned with.

I look forward to Grace's Reviews, and I wish when this series ends, she takes the time to watch Clone Wars and even the episodes of Rebels she skipped. There is no divide between Clone Wars and Rebels; if anything it is Casuals vs. noncasuals. For example, Baylon can't just pick up another lightsaber and be effective with it like Ahsoka, Ahsoka has trained with a lightsaber and a shoto for years. Ahsoka uses ataru and shein, while Baylon uses Form V Djem So, which utilizes power and strength.

[@kimmycat2977]

Careful what u wish for. It's her lack of homework that has allowed her to enjoy this show thus far. But even now the frustration is alr setting in. If she had completely watched those animated shows, she might end up hating this show. This show duzn do any justice to Ahsoka, Sabine, Hera.

[@stripedbandit5252]

If you don’t like clone wars, I have a weird feeling maybe you haven’t watched it properly? Seeing Ahsoka in the 2008 movie and her progression through the six seasons of clone wars she appeared in was just magical, growing to become an independent force user through her lessons with Anakin.

[@Mark_o_Helm]

I have to agree on Thrawns incompetence. First he sents nine Fighters after Ahsoka's ship, than only three and in the end they leave the ship alone so that Huyang can return to her? And how about a little bombardement or air attack on our three heroes now that they are reunited again? He has Tie-fighters in his ship and Ahsoka's ship is a sitting Duck now.

As someone who isn’t a huge fan or Clone Wars or Rebels (I’ve seen just a few episodes of each), this was definitely my favorite episode so far. I get Ezra not picking up the lightsaber was disappointing to big fans, but I think it made the most sense story wise. It’s been years since he last wielded one and has likely been training with the force only for that entire time, so it is definitely not the same circumstance as Luke in episode 8.

[@Ma55ey]

I'd agree, but I kind of get the feeling that when he does pick it up he'll be wielding it like a master.. not like somone who hasn't held one for years...

[@seabedrock]

Ezra, in Rebels, was mostly a force wielder than a lightsaber wielder anyway. He was a beast tamer/manipulator. He wasn't as skilled lightsaber wise but he was powerful in the force.

[@13nwaffles]

Not using a lightsaber does not mean he’s a pacifist. He never said he was, and he clearly has no problem using that blaster

[@masonguthrie1257]

Sadly it seems like the biggest problem this show has is that Ahsoka is too big of a character. To start no characters still alive besides Luke Han and Leia have the screentime and history that Ahsoka has. Second, Ahsoka is arguably the strongest/deadliest indivdual alive after the fall of Vader Sidious Obi Wan and Yoda and so in order to create tension the writers needed to create a character with a background that automatically puts that character in Ahsoka's league and while they have done a decent job with Balan because he was introduced so quickly and Ahsoka is so powerful it is still hard to believe that she could not take him in a fight. This is helped sold however due to Rosario's slow movement however it hurts the portrayal of Ahsoka much more than helps Balan. Overall a decent attempt but I honestly expected more from Filoni in terms of story as this is in his realm. Not awful but not great.

[@IslandPunchProductions]

Would've been better if Ezra and Sabine shared the saber like throwing it back and forth or trading during the fight or Sabine could've thrown it to him while he was fighting shin, a callback to when he threw the saber to her in rebels season 3

I just wish they had used a stunt person for Ahsoka's fight scenes. We should be John Wick levels of impressed to be honest. Even in Clone Wars the movie, Yoda twirled around like a mad man that no one could stop. I love Rosario as Ahsoka but she just doesn't have the agility needed. But it's Hollywood. They should use all the movie/tv magic to make us believe she is one of the best fighters in the galaxy. Still, I'm enjoying the show. Minor tweaks and upgrades in production, and story telling would make this top tier.

[@trip478]

You seriously underestimate Ahsoka and overestimate Ezra soooooo bad. Ezra isn't him

[@DeeDeeDeeeee]

Idk if I would consider Ezra a “top notch” Jedi. He had the potential to be one, however is training was cut short and Kanan was only at the level of a low tiered knight. If Ezra had time and the right master he could’ve been on Ahsoka’s level but because of all things mentioned before, he’s only really at the level of a mid tiered knight at most.

[@eightbitmonk]

[@coletrickle154]

I was a bit underwhelmed at first as well. The best part of this episode was EZRA, EZRA, EZRA. The actor is killing it. Great chemistry between them. I would have loved to see Ezra wield his saber, BUT it was super cool to see him master hand to hand combat through the force. My biggest criticism of the post ROTJ world building is the lack of notoriety and awareness in the galaxy - let alone within the New Republic itself - of Heroes of the rebellion Luke Skywalker; Han Solo; Chewbacca; Wedge Antilles; Admiral Ackbar, Princess Leia and General Calrissian. How does Carson Teva NOT know Luke Skywalker? Why did he react like he had never heard of a jedi when a Jedi fly in Rogue Squadron? Why don't all the Rebel pilots know and revere Luke Skywalker? Where is the Rebel military chain of command? The Legends books did such a superior job of fleshing out the military command structure. Why wasn't Hera hauled before Ackbar, not Mon Mothma? They don't have to appear in the episodes but the orginal legacy characters (except for maybe Leia) are not even mentioned. They should be part of the world building by reference at least. I cannot take any of the new Republic scenes seriously in any of the Disney+ shows without this feature being built out. They did a great job of doing this on Lothal - Ezra; Sabine Zeb Hera Kanan and Chopper are rightly viewed as the saviours of Lothal. They built statues to them. Them have haolidays and cermonies. Where is the similar knowledge and recognition of Wedge and Lando for blowing up the Death Star over Endor? Where is the same recognition for newly minted Jedi Luke Skywalker - who blew up the first death star and then taking down the Emperor? I cannot take this world seriously without this world building. This was the same problem with the trilogy sequels and the First Order. Dave Filoni - please read this and give it to us. You can do this. You did it in Clone Wars and Rebels!! Do it here.

[@gusharris-reid3419]

[@vaderspetpig]

I agree with a lot of your criticisms Grace. I also agree we should just move on from the OT three leads. Leia should be recasted if they want her to be involved more. I also agree Ahsoka has been depowered quite a bit in terms of movement and agility, I guess live action just really limits action in terms of choreography and visuals. We also have to consider that the budget for this show just could not be enough to transfer everything needed to get this show at top tier. With the theater showing of Episode 5, I think Disney was testing the waters and gaging how many people would show up to the showings and that way they can gage the budget for future Ahsoka show related projects like the film. Overall I think your criticisms are a result of Disney+ budgeting.

[@masonguthrie1257]

I agree but considering that they at least used some form of motion cap for the Maul vs Ahsoka fight I think they should have had a stunt double from the start.

I get Luke's reaction considering the narrative. I get his point. But he would never throw a lightsaber in a smug way. Yes he will deny Rey, he will be dismissive and he will be hesitant to touch on the subject of the Jedi. But the lightsaber throw was unncessary. He could at least give it back to her, have a bit of a ptsd and walk away.

[@diegopansini3152]

Yeah, Ezra’s “force fu” is not as cool as it sounds on paper. You know what it looks like?

Black Lightning is a perfect example of it

[@nfalls75]

I've been thinking about the inevitable recasting of Baylan. There's no replacing Ray, but it's starting to look like they have plans for this character beyond Ashoka.

Thrawn isn’t the formidable foe that he used to be in Legends. Who really cares if he makes it to the main universe. The rebels crew used to beat him every episode.

Ezra was very strong with the force, but he wasn't well trained in lightsaber fighting. Also he hasn't touched a lightsaber in 10 years so why would you expect him to be this strong jedi with top lightsaber skills? 😂

[@fstromberg]

Grace, I love your comments on the business side and I quite often like your from the outside, « normie » comments on Star Wars, but this I just couldn’t get through. You really, really, really need to watch all of Clone Wars in order to get Ashoka. Oh, and the Clone Wars vs Rebels fans idea isn’t a thing, which you’d also get if you watched Clone Wars.

[@beadragon1048]

Ahsoka, to be truly appreciated, has to be seen in the Clone Wars and in her journey from Anakins Padwan to a formidable Jedi herself. I feel so much is missed and can’t be appreciated if you only watch a few key episodes. So much growth in her character through her story arcs in that series. I’m not saying you have to watch every single episode but you should catch the ones she’s featured in. She’s hands down my favorite character in Star Wars because I put in the time to watch those. Just my two cents Grace, lol! 🤓

[@qwaurk985]

Two and a Half Jedi. An upcoming show.

[@eriksolo5866]

Ezra hasn’t held a lightsaber in 10 years. I can understand why he wouldn’t want to fight with it

[@secretredfoxx1]

It is not his lightsaber anymore, his choice here made me think he's even more powerful. Saying the force is my ally seconds before facing down armed squads is incredibly badass.

[@vinsanity40k]

maybe it's because he could cut down entire platoons of troopers that they chose not to let him go all out. ezra is pretty op by this time. but it is kind of weird that after taking thrawn to this new galaxy, they just went their separate ways to live and let live.

[@dbatteries1]

How u felt with Ezra is how people felt with Luke in ep 7

[@christophercdubs4273]

As a rebels only fan, Grace, I think you’re in the minority on this. This episode was fantastic.

[@ajvela4310]

I feel like nobody is noticing that thrawn threw everything he had at them. He would have loved to kill them and tried with mines and fighters and it just didn’t work. if it wasn’t ahsoka and jedi thrawn would’ve destroyed them immediatly. Also ezra is a medium power level in the grand scheme of things.

[@Ruylopez778]

I think the cynicism from the New Republic is not that space whales can't exist, but that they have gone to a specific location. Just like missing hyperdrives doesn't mean that a ship jumped to a distant galaxy to specifically find Thrawn. It also makes sense that politicians don't want to believe there is going to be another war, having just recently got out of one.

[@ravenlodus]

Off subject but I wish they’d retcon Asajj Ventress death. I read that her death is canon in some book 🤦🏽‍♂️. She’d be so cool in this early new republic era.

[@werd4710]

can anyone in star wars stay dead? there is absolutely no need to bring ventress back just for a fan service cameo. just watch clone wars if you like ventress

[@ethanmattix]

If Baylan is looking for Abeloth I will be amazed. I’ve seen a lot of people theorize that’s the direction we’re going in. It would be absolutely insane.

[@celebfantastiq]

Which is why this should have been a true Rebels sequel and had Sabine as the lead, going after Thrawn etc. Ahsoka going after Baylan and trying to stop him would have made more sense, since she was missing during the whole Thrawn arc of Rebels. This whole show is flipped because of fan service.

[@ethanmattix]

​@@celebfantastiqI see literally none of this as fan service. They picked the character with more fans, Ahsoka. I see this show attempting to appeal to both Clone Wars and Rebels fans, which is why they included characters from both. I've loved every episode. I enjoy just having a good time.

[@andrewprice8940]

The rumour is that Baylan is looking for the plot - episode 7 out of 8 and still no idea what he wants or his motives. Bring in AI it could do better than this drivel.

[@ethanmattix]

@@andrewprice8940 That is genuinely a terrible criticism. They only just revealed in episode 6 that he's looking for something at all. Not like we've spent 7 episodes wondering. We've spent barely 2. And that's literally the whole point. It's a mystery. It's supposed to get people talking. It wouldn't be a mystery if they revealed what he's looking for right away.

[@Darkest209]

14:50 Me back in 2017. Welcome to 2017 Star Wars Grace... It Sucks.

[@MrBetamax75]

"Send some snails for reconnaissance". LOL

[@dime1012]

This is like watching Legend of Korra and never watching Avatar the Last Airbender. And saying “I don’t get why Toph is a fan favorite”

[@willow417]

I think the cargo are a bunch of witches in deep sleep

[@SPARTANoh11]

Thrawn withdrew because Baylan wasn’t there to assist. He knew it was a losing fight when all 3 of them were fighting against his forces and Shin

[@celebfantastiq]

I think it’s because you don’t realize that Clone Wars was about Ahsoka and her growth, not Anikans and Kenobi, though it became a show about them just because of who they were. Rebels wasn’t about her hence the limited appearances. Filoni really should have made this a true Rebels sequel with Ashoka’s struggle the B story that tied into whatever Baylan is up to. It just shows how disjointed this show is and how fan service played into its creation.

[@jamesbrigham1299]

Any divide is Casual Star Wars fans and legacy EU fans. One sees, no inconsistency between the series and Star Wars lore. Lore defines how the universe works and the characters personality. Ezra was never good with the lightsaber, because Kanaan was just a padawan himself, attempting to instruct Ezra. So Ezra's force education was severely lacking. he was more of a light-side force user, than a Jedi. Ahsoka would also meet the same classification. Thrawn's character only slightly matches his persona from the Thrawn novel. If anyone is really interested in how great Thrawn is, should get the Thrawn audiobook on audible. You won't be disappointed and you'll see how he doesn't fully match. Never like the "space whale" plot device, now or in Rebels. Wish someone had hired a "lightsaber fight coordinator". I agree she is slow and I've seen better done on some Star Wars fan fiction.(Maul on KZbin). That said, I do like Ahsoka as a main character. Just wish the writing was better and done by people who know Star Wars. And they spent some time with the choreography. For those who don't know Thrawn, he wasn't evil. He was a keen and meticulously warrior.

[@dreadsocialistroberts]

"Ezra's a pacifist". "I'm upset he didn't do more with the Force!" Which one is it? Also who said Ezra was a pacifist? Ezra surely didn't. Ezra said the Noti were peaceful. That's it. Also Ventress is dead.

[@pepperminttaco2924]

Being more excited by Ezra than you are about Anakin or Leia is actually insane.

[@alexgnyusa442]

I haven’t watched clone wars or rebels. This episode was fantastic

[@Janteslov]

LAND mines in SPAAACE!

[@JengibreRallado]

People annoyed by Ezra not wielding a lightsaber is like being annoyed of Captain America for not saying "Avengers asamble" There's a moment and place (a better one) for everything. 😅

[@markdemariassy8685]

For me, it wasn't the fact that he didn't use the light sabre, but that he was so underwhelming in the fight generally. I get he's been in isolation, but he just wasn't really a jedi in that fight...

[@CaptainMeiloorun86]

One thing that comes to mind is when Ahsoka is calling for Sabine and then Sabine feels her presence. This is a parallel to Luke and Leia in episode 5. Luke calls out for Leia and then she feels Luke. So one could argue that Sabine has some force sensitivity

[@matthewmalovich64]

Gotta say. I think Grace is actually dead on with her evaluation. There is A LOT of ground to cover in the last episode and it seems like this one was a bit of filler. There were some fun parts but I don’t care for Sabine to become a Jedi. Force fu was fun but I really wanted to see Ezra use his lightsaber

[@Cybernautz]

Yeah Grace you really need to watch more Clone Wars to like Ashoka lol

[@fatheranthony4pope]

WHY is Thrawn only loading now? That's my question! The ship being loaded was with him the whole time.

[@BeyondTheTrailer]

good question

[@miguelh4750]

They needed to transfer the corpses to the life support coffins that need energy resources.

[@carolefisher6489]

Grace, I’m disappointed in your review. I thought you would like the “force” fight. I think that’s why they had him refuse the saber. You said that’s what you wanted. And yes I love me some Hayden!

[@alejandroalldayreaction]

“Oh no not this guy” 😂Haha

[@arod84]

17:09 I believe what they’re exploring now is Anakin, as the chosen one is rolled balance to force extends beyond, and he’s become a Father Mortis God. There was a point during the animated series, where that was presented, and alluded to.
