Ahsoka Episode 8 Finale Breakdown, Anakin Thrawn Star Wars Easter Eggs & Things You Missed

Here's my FULL Ahsoka Episode 8 Finale video and Star Wars Easter Eggs. Let me know how many you spotted! Loki Season 2 Episode 1 coming later this week too. Here's my Ahsoka Season 2 video too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/fJikoaSDe85pirM

At least Ezra made it home.

[@merkarion7883]

It was a very nice Episode...also it is funny since we saw Sabine, in this Episode, use the Force to move Objects for the very First time....and no one explicit mentions it^^. I mean we know she can feel it (or she would not being able to "hear" Ahsoka) but she never manipulated it as in this Episode (calling her Lightsaber, pushing Ezra and feeling Anakin)

[@likeluptid]

I smiled A LOT when Ezra went back home wearimg the Night Trooper's armor. I was really glad to see Diana Lee Inosanto put her martial arts skills to screen on Ahsoka's show. The thing thad made me smile most seeing how much Ahsoka resembles Anakin now. She already has a little bit of Darkside in her, like Anakin, just as "future Ahsoka" pointed out in "Overlords." And she began the first episode doing some Darkside interrogation that isn't shown on screen. But Ahsoka is just as warm and gentle as Anakin was to her even she did some really messed up stuff, like when rightfully upset at Christophsis and over Ryloth; he took a pisitive, upbeat attitude with Ahsoka. Ahsoka came to Peridea with Anakin's forgiving, upbeat attitude. "And miss this reunion?"

[@lemmor6791civ]

Also the final fight with Morgan Elsbeth vs Ahsoka was amazing, with Diane Lee Inosanto proving she doesn't need stunt doubles, she is really her father's daughter...

I think the Mortis gods will play a role in Baylon’s and Ahsoka’s storyline and the mountains confirmed that for me at the end of the episode. I think in afterlife Anakin took his place to maintain balance like the Father did before him, but he does it by influencing living force users. He will play a more important role in season two

[@EscapeMCP]

Ezra's "The blade emitter is too narrow" is a riff on everyone who said that the lightsabers on the Rebels series looked like toothpicks.

[@sarahfenno2868]

Loved seeing Ahsoka become more of a true Jedi master who is standing by her Padawan no matter what, just like Anakin did for her. And Anakin's force ghost watching over her at the end only made that hit line so much harder 😭 This show was beautifully done and I cannot wait for more!

[@elitealice]

“He always stood by me, no matter what anyone said. That’s why no matter what happens next. I’m going to be there for you” 😢 😢 seeing Anakin’s force ghost at the end of this episode makes this line hit even harder. Even with his new cosmic role, he wants to be there for his “snips” during this difficult time. Shit is so beautiful Amazing finale to what’s been the best Star Wars project in a very long time. The time and effort that Dave Filoni and everyone involved put into this deserves all the praise. There’s still so much more to tell with this story though. I hate that we didn’t get more of Baylan’s “power” that was calling out to him. Since he didn’t die in the finale I’m guessing that means he’ll be recast? It hurts so much because Ray was an absolutely amazing actor and a great guy, but the character just has too much potential to let go right now. I think we all expected there to be some kind of catch with all the “I can’t wait to go home” lines that Ezra was dropping, but I didn’t think he’d be the one going home and they’d stay on the planet. How are they gonna get back to the main galaxy? This is going to be so interesting. If they’re out of the picture, surely Luke, Leia and Han gotta be involved in the coming projects. Still laughing at Morgan getting a power upgrade only to get left behind and die lmao Shin redemption arc WHEN

[@abeautifuldayful]

ll good observations. Morgan's biggest mistake was to accept her new powers. Her loyalty to Thrawn shifted then to the Night Sisters. He was there and saw it, probably also aware that she did nothing for the Empire and his plans. He didn't even have to hear her say it. She must have thought she was being so coy when she said she did it for Dathomir while out of earshot. An unacceptable outcome! She gains power, sure. But he can deal with three Night Sisters who can't move between galaxies the way she did. He brilliantly orchestrated events for Ahsoka and Sabine to kill her so they wouldn't blame him for his dirty work. Now all he has to do is drop three of them off on Dathomir before they go rogue against his plans for whatever reason. He used them all and can toss them aside when done with them on his timetable. Always strategizing, he is.

[@relint12]

Ahsoka refusing to train Grogu and Sabine for essentially the same reason show’s a continuity of character arch that I appreciate.

[@serelbass7283]

It’s something that happens when you’ve got ppl in charge who knows what they’re doing

[@mikethehunter5212]

Still a little conflicted on that though. Ahsoka's smart enough to know the difference between having attachments and letting them control you.

[@Valfara770]

Those statues of the Mortis gods remind me a lot of the statues in Lord of the Rings that they saw when they were traveling along the river. And I don't think that is a coincidence. :)

With Anakin becoming the Father and Baylon looking for that power, I hope we will see a confrontation between the two. We still don’t know how he knows of Vader or who his master was, that feels like it will be important. Also I thought there was a bit of an ominous vibe at the end when Sabine sensed his ghost and Ashoka saying they were exactly where they need to be. I wonder if Anakin is acting in their best interest or if he will be closer to a force of nature that uses Ashoka as part of his balancing act

[@AzraelsTear]

@@davidgeisler9885 Thrawn always has an ace of up sleeve, no doubt he has a contingency for any trickery. You have to remember the reason the Empire killed off the Nightsisters was because of the Emperor and Vader being Sith, the connection to the force was a threat to THEIR power. Thrawn doesn't view the force in the same way, to him they are powerful and a better ally than dead, so he might take the risk. Too bad we have to wait till Season two so we can find out. 🍻

[@davidgeisler9885]

@@AzraelsTear Thrawn would likely assume the Sith are not gone forever and therefore still a factor if not right now then inevitably soon. He would know that a re-emerged Sith will take control of any "Empire" that exists including one that Thrawn may have created. In fact, IIRC Thrawn was loyal to the Emperor. It follows then that Thrawn will know the Night Sisters will eventually seek revenge on this same Empire. So I feel Thrawn is using them to his own short term ends and trusts them as far as he can throw them. And Vice versa, I think this is an uneasy alliance of short term mutual goals. Once one side no longer needs the other for anything, that's it all bets are off. He also understands the threat presented to a non-force sensitive like himself by any type of Force user, even just one like he found with Ezra.

Ahsoka is an incredible series. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to season 2. Phenomenal detailed reviews Charlie along the way made informed viewing even better. My theory is that if Baylan isn’t recast then they can say he didn’t survive the Mortis temple because at some point Ahsoka and Sabine will investigate what he’s been up to while stuck on Peridea. They can also use this time to train Sabine so she could be more powerful in the force on her next appearance.

This sword was already seen in the clone wars, though.

[@DayvonR64]

So when Anakin and little Ahsoka showed up I knew I had to get on the hype train. I knew of Ahsoka and liked her character but never watched Clone Wars, maybe a few scenes here and there as they played on Cartoon Network. So two weeks ago I decided to watch Clone Wars and Rebels (using a guide of course) and was just so amazed. There were quite a few episodes of Clone Wars, well more so scenes, that instantly felt familiar as I started to realized I more than likely watched an episode every once in a while. I love Rebels by the way. I also watched Mando S1 S2 S3 and Book of Boba Fett. I was able to catch up to Ahsoka in order to watch the finale with everyone else, which was my goal, and I was so amazed. I don't like when shows on Disney+ rely on cliff hangers but I feel like this one is so different. While I do feel like Baylan and Shin story was rushed and it's unfortunate we only got 1 scene each for them in the finale, everything else was so intense and I was on the edge of my seat. If this is where Star Wars is headed, I'm so excited to finally be included.

With everything going on I think that the nightsisters were too distracted to detect Ezra getting onto the ship. And let's not forget Ezra has a penchant for impersonating people in order to try and hide( something that he's done since his literal first scene on Lothal when he lifts an imperial communicator)

[@majinsole8554]

Baylan Skoll was such a great, compelling character in this thanks to the fantastic portrayal by Ray Stevenson. Thank you so much, Ray. Rest In Peace 🙏

[@Twtybird1]

21:31 Baylan was standing on the pointing finger of the rock formation, looking waaay into the distance at a flashing vertical light (seen at 37: 14 on the episode) and it didn’t look like Shin Hati’s red light saber, either. What was that about?

[@jonathankohut6779]

I was under the understanding that when Kanan was a Jedi youngling/Padawan, his name was Caleb. So why did Huyang recognize him as Kanan? I didn't think Ahsoka was around when we found out Kanan's true name either.😊

[@AgusSkywalker]

Hera always knew his true name, she could have told Ahsoka and Huyang. It's also possible Ahsoka knew all along. We see a young Caleb watch Ahsoka train, so it's possible they met during the Clone Wars, and Ahsoka just called him Kanan in Rebels because she respected his decision of keeping his old identity secret.

[@RelkinsDCskater]

Huyang Says clever boy Caleb was. I am sure the time Ashoka spent with Huyang she would of talked about Kanan.

[@DisloyalPants]

All the callbacks to rebels were just great. Each scene Anakin has been on has been just wonderful! For some reason, Sabine character feels stale/flat to me and does not resonate with what's happening in the show. Perfect example, her reunion with Ezra, it did not reflect the ordeal and sacrifice that took place for that to happen. I think Jacen might become Ezras apprentice, which would be awesome. Love the show. It feels like it's re-energizing Star Wars, and I can't wait for what's next.

[@ghostwolf1435]

I enjoyed the finale It had a nice note at the end I just thought the Threat of Thrawn seemed muted

[@harrisonhagg2939]

Same. Never established him as a cunning villain in this series. He needed a moment to showcase his tactical brilliance.

[@ghostwolf1435]

@@harrisonhagg2939 exactly I wanted more of an “ Omg this Thrawn is going to cause some Havoc” I didn’t get that through this season He was an extremely polite Villain He gave the protagonist loads of perks

[@MarcoMartinez-si9ye]

My Family, friends and I enjoyed the whole Ahsoka series and give this episode a solid 9. We all know it was going to end similarly to how it ended. We saw Hayden/Anakin force ghost was a wonderful add on and hope to see more of him. Wanted Baylon to live and now we saw what he was looking for. Ezra is back home seeing Hera, Sabine is with Ahsoka protecting the Noti, Hatti seemed to be allied with the Nomads or taking them over as a war chief. Grand Admiral Thrawn will take over the shadow council for project necromancer to have time for it to work. The Great mothers escaped that higher power that Baylon was looking for.

[@jojoedada2920]

Can you explain the motivation of Thrawn again? I’m confused. People say that he only served the emperor because he was afraid that the Empire is a threat to his homeworld, but now the emperor is gone and the empire shattered, why does he care? Why does he say ‘Long live the empire’ this doesn’t make sense for his character. In fact, he should be giddy and just go home to his people. What am I missing?

[@wonderifthisistaken1]

Lol because HE’S the emperor now.

[@chibidakis1]

Exactly. I fear Filoni is just tossing all of Zahns' hard work on Thrawns back story just to use Thrawn as another "villain"

[@jojoedada2920]

@@chibidakis1 yes!!! thank you, that is my fear as well. Almost all the KZbinrs I watch indicate that Thrawn is not just your typical villain who just has rage issues, want to conquer the world, or just your run-of-the-mill baddie who is power hungry. BUT from this season, especially the final episode, he just seems to be that (though he is cunning, calm and intelligent). But his motives is unclear - Why does he support the empire still???

[@chibidakis1]

@jojoedada2920 in the expanded universe, Thrawn was still with the Empire after Palpatine's death was because the Empire had a better chance against the Vong invasion than the New Republic

[@jojoedada2920]

@@chibidakis1thank you. Ok, that makes sense - hopefully they are going down that path. That’d be interesting!

[@Nocc2991]

I really hope they are not permanently stuck in the new galaxy. I'm assuming the new republic will develop something to travel between galaxys. Ezra won't leave them there. That last scene with Anakin hit hard. He's so proud of Ashoka, he's always with her, and this is most likely the last we will see of Anakin. She said it's time to move on.

[@KingShibe]

Absolutely what an amazing amazing finale and I’m glad they set up set up what’s to come. I’m still sad that Ray Stevenson passed away and we won’t be able to see him as Baylan anymore so if they are planning on recasting I hope whoever the new the new person is this person can pick up where he left off and be a really good Baylan

[@lism8680]

15:32 I think she asked him about during his stay on the planet with Thrawn and asked if he had experience seeing Stormtroopers do that or is this a new thing.

[@krisfirstofhername.8444]

Love the Chronicles of Narnia reference in the title of this episode. 🦁

[@Obipikanobi]

I loved this series! I hope with Thrawn and the witches being on Dathamier it can include a live action Merrin. Id find it hard to believe she wouldn't feel thier presence on her home planet that she believed she was the only nightsister survivor of the Separatist perge led by Grievous. I feel like we will be getting Cal in live action hopefully in season 4 of Mando.

[@keonhazel2799]

Love that Ezra comes from Mace Windu’s line and Sabine is the next in Yoda’s line of apprentices it all comes full circle.

[@privatezeron]

I guess know we know why the House of Wren wasn't part of retaking Mandalore or even why she wasn't there. I hope they keep her underpowered with the force though. Also, do we really need Thrawn to be betrayed though?

[@andglasgo]

Agreed. He's too much the tactician to be betrayed. Both sides using each other for the common goal of returning home makes sense. Now figuring out how all this story plays out in the sequel universe is where my heart breaks.

[@Lupin788]

I think Filoni is developing Sabine into a Mando/Jedi hybrid fighter. Her use of blaster and lightsaber at the same time just seemed like the "right" combat style for her. Also, if we've learned anything about Dave Filoni from him canonizing so many Legends story elements, I don't think he would just have Thrawn be a straight forward enemy of the New Republic in the same way the First Order turned out to be just weak imitation of the Empire under Palpatine. If he follows Thrawn's character from the books, we know his main motivation for joining up with the Empire was to protect his own people, the Chiss, from what he perceived was a worse threat, namely the Grysk.

[@lauriefrank9412]

I really enjoyed this series and am sad to see it end. I really wish they had more episodes!! I do wish they did some back story...what Ezra did when they got there and how he got to the turtle people. What happened with Thrown and is troops. Are they the guys in red? There's like 10 years of backstory that we don't know and I have questions!! 🙂

[@ronsworld250]

I was disappointed in the finale. It did have some interesting elements, the Mortis elements, Anakin force ghost, Thrawn & Ezra back in the main universe, the witches, etc. But I really wanted to see more of Baylan, and his motivations, I thought some of the fights were a bit lackluster, and not enough Shin. I was hoping the finale could have been at least an hour. I guess Baylan and Anakin and maybe Ahsoka are destined to be Mortis gods? The owl was shown for a brief moment (incarnation of the daughter & Ahsoka’s protector), and force ghost Anakin, so I assume Dave is setting up the Mortis elements in season 2. Season 2, I can’t wait for because there are some interning threads teased. Thrawn & the witches in the main galaxy and an impending war coming. How long are Ahsoka and Sabine going to be stuck in the new galaxy?

[@christinearmington]

I predict they’ll get back by episode 3 or 4 of season two.

[@Sleepysod]

Completely agree. It was fine, but disappointing compared to the potential and no substantial payoffs yet.

[@JustJake77]

The whole episode was ment to be a cliffhanger... So you being disappointed is kinda the point... leave em wanting more.
