[@hopeyouguess9850]

His name was Ray Stevenson, and I'm sure he'd appreciate the sentiment. Not to be confused with Ray Stevens, the American pop singer and comedian. Anyway, Ray had an amazing career. I was introduced to him as Titus Pullo in HBO's Rome, then as an antagonist in Dexter, then as Blackbeard in Black Sails. He elevated every role I had the pleasure of seeing him play.

Oh that is awesome. I’m very familiar with Inosanto. My big brother trained with him for a minute and he does jiujitsu with the guy who taught my coach.

[@princephrog]

The Mortis Gods are a huge reveal. The Father represented balance. and originally wanted Anakin Skywalker to replace him. The Son represented the Dark side and the Daughter represented the light. The Daughter gave her life to save Ahsoka's life which may be why her statue was destroyed, although it's surmised that the owl that seems to always follow Ahsoka around may be the spirit of the Daughter. There was also a Mother who represented chaos and was banished. I think the prevailing theory is that it's the Mother, the personification of chaos, who is calling to Baylan Skoll.

[@AwesomeJedi182]

I've also heard the mother is Abeloth

[@sgtnubcase]

Yes Abeloth is the Mother

[@xiongrey19]

It should be worth noting for anyone that reads this thread that Aboloth is not (yet) canon. Imo I think it's heavily hinting that she is what Skoll is looking for but just in case it's not, I want to make sure that those not in the know understand that ,currently, there is no 4th "Mother" Mortis God.

[@braddollahite]

I personally think it could be Abeloth because what else could it be that calling to him, Palatine??? Lol. Not disappointed one bit for this series.

22:23 Sorry, but potential spoilers...: When Grevious attacks the Nightsisters on Dathomir in The Clone Wars they take serious losses and Mother Talzin, the Great Mother of Dathomir raises the dead like this to overwhelm Grevious' forces and turn him back but not before he does critical damage to them. The sword the Great Mothers give to Morgan is Mother Talzin's sword that she uses in The Clone Wars. She even has a fight with Mace Windu with it.

Seeing Anakin finally as one with the Force like that is closure for us fans who know his whole story, we needed that moment. As for that last line from Sabine it sounds like a title of something, "shadows in the starlight", its not something she would typically say, maybe we'll be getting a book or comic called that

[@Bokkenjedi]

Ezra said that Thrawn awakened the mothers. I think the cargo can be some sort of sleep capsule. Not necessarily dead night sisters. I think that would be a even greater motivation for the mothers leaving to Dathamir.

They had wrapped filming before Ray Stevenson had passed, its apparent they had planned on continuing his story as well as Shin's. Unfortunately his passing was super unexpected so they couldn't really go back and change the ending.

The Daughter gave her life to save Ahsoka's, So Ahsoka has the Daughter in her, that is why the "owl" follows her around, it's a manifestation of the Daughter within Ahsoka (at least that is my understanding) That is why the statue was missing a head. Technically the father and son are dead too but I am sure they are manifesting in new forms by now.

RIP Ray Stevenson. Dagonet- King Arthur, Titus Pullo - Rome (if you haven’t already seen this show I would love to see you guys react to it), Volstagg - Thor, Blackbeard - Black Sails, Gar Saxon - Clone Wars/Rebels, Othere - Vikings and now Baylan Skoll - Ahsoka I feel like this man has had a part in many of my favourite films and TV shows over the years. On the episode I feel like they have set this up incredibly well to follow on to a second season and an expansion of many of the other stories whilst simultaneously gearing up beautifully into a film trilogy or two. There is loads left to play with and it would be cool if Thrawn said something like “my FIRST ORDER is to set up a contingency should our mission fail.” I’m gutted because I could see Filoni setting up a new big bad in Baylan Skoll as I think he will link up with some other big bad that has been cast out of the Star Wars universe leading into the trilogy after they finish the Thrawn story. All in all I’m just so happy that Filoni has breathed so much life into a franchise that I honestly feared was dead after the last trilogy.

[@maverickproductions3818]

I honestly was so happy with this finale. It absolutely left me wanting more…so much more…but in a good way. They’re setting up so much. I honestly feel that Baylan and Shin along with Ahsoka, Sabine and Huyang being stranded will provide us with Season 2 content, and perhaps they get back to the right galaxy in the end, just in time for Filoni’s movie, and we resume with Heir to the Empire. It could go so differently, idk. Ray left such a legacy with the new character of Baylan. I SO hope that they recast him, out of respect for what Ray did, and continuing Baylan’s story, whatever it may be, would be amazing because it’s obvious that Baylan’s story has just begun. Very invested in where he goes. I hope Shin can somehow be redeemed and turn to the light. It’s obvious that she has conflicting thoughts within her, since in Episode 7 she hesitated when Ahsoka offered her help. I’m so glad for Morgan Elsbeth and that she had her moment to shine! I was worried that Thrawn was going to (rightfully so) outshine many of the villains due to him being a pre-established character, but Morgan vs Ahsoka round 2 was epic! Great choreography and everything. I hope Ahsoka can construct a second saber again. I wonder if her staff from the Rebels epilogue will be brought to live action. As for the elephant in the room, I definitely didn’t want Sabine to be using force abilities from the beginning, because I think like all the Rebels characters, she’s fantastically developed. AND she had so much character development of being taught my Jedi, Kanan and Ezra, the Jedi ways, but didn’t use the force. However, I think my stance has changed. George Lucas did say the force is in all beings, and anyone can learn to use it depending on their training and dedication. Sabine worked for it. So it’s not a Rey situation by any means. It’s just…different and odd. But I don’t hate it. Sabine’s still a great character. If I could change it, yeah I’d probably just make her be “in-tune” with the force at most, meaning she could sense things, but not use strong abilities. But, I trust Dave Filoni, especially with characters he created. So thankful for this beautiful show . I just KNOW it’ll get a season 2 with all the love it got and then be continued with Dave’s movie. What a time to be a Star Wars fan!

[@richardhall800]

Worth remembering, given how important clues are hidden in the episode titles, that "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe" was book 2 (many think it's the first) in a series of 7... So this may well be Filoni setting up a very long, epic story arc

Definitely the Mortis Gods. I think the daughter's head was broken to symbolize her death in Rebels. But, Morai showed up in the end. She is the physical embodiment of the Daughter. All of this makes think Mortis is the key to getting home. We don't know when or if the Purrgil will return. Will they even use the same migration path because of the mines? So, even if they do return, would they even be close enough. And going back to Morai, she obviously traveled between galaxies. So did the gods. So, Mortis is the key to getting home this time.

I'm thinking that Shin and Baylin stuff was planned this way. Feels like season 1 was set up for them to get to Peridia and start their path, and get Thrawn home.

[@scubasteve2903]

If your looking for reasons why Thrawn would let Ezra live it’s actually pretty simple. Thrawns biggest attribute is his intelligence. When he was exiled to this galaxy via the Purrgil he realized in a new galaxy his hyperdrive is worthless. Without charts and maps there’s no way for them to navigate, but Thrawn comes from a Galaxy where there hyperdrive navigation is done with children called Skywalkers. They are essentially force sensitive children who they use their force powers to navigate hyperspace safely. So naturally if you were stuck in a unknown galaxy with no known way to get back home or travel via Purrgil or hyperspace, it would be incredibly dumb to kill the only force sensitive being you know just on the outside chance you could or may need to use him to get home.

[@DASamX5453]

Would be fine too if Shin _somehow learns what he knew and follows that path_ in case that they don't want to recast. Having Morgan die is a bit of a bummer, but she did bring the Nightsisters and Thrawn back to the known galaxy, so she did what she was supposed to. Also Thrawn now has ~8000 bodies in his ship, but we don't know if they are old, fallen Nightsisters or only his dead Stormtroopers.

Yanno, Sabine, Ahsoka and Huyang being stranded on Peridia might serve as an in-canon explanation as to why we don't see them in the sequel trilogy.

Her failure to stop Thrawn escaping set all this in motion and Sabine's gamble to bring Ezra home has doomed the galaxy to another cycle of war.

I would say that maybe even Filoni got surprised how much people got intrigued by the story of Baylan and Shin. And I heard quite some disappointment because people were waiting for a resolution. For me, it was clear, this season was just a build-up for the Baylan story, because in the end it was about Ahsoka finding herself, and Thrawn and Ezra getting back home. Ahsoka season 2 (if it happens) would be about the Mortis gods, and what Baylan - whoever will now play him - actually is looking for. And the end is just a bulk of cliffhangers - so typical Dave Filoni. 😄

It was meant for Baylan and Shin to not be in this much because they were setting up what ever comes next for them and that's why Ahsoka said what she said about them being where they are needed or belong. Now whether that's in a next season of Ahsoka or in the Filoni directed movies we'll have to wait and see. Super sad that Ray won't be around to complete Baylan's story. He did an amazing job bringing Baylan to life and setting up the character for what comes next. I just hope they can recast the character with someone who will do him justice.

[@Shinransa]

I did like the Sabine's force powers felt somewhat earned or manifested out of desperation like Luke when he was trapped in the ice cave with the Wampa. Sabine's not doing crazy shit instantly either, the most she did was boost Ezra and that was also out of necessity. And that's without counting her training in Rebels, it's a more gradual progression than some characters... the sequels are a dead horse to beat at this point so I'll stop here but you know.

The daughter gave her life re revive Ahsoka from the dead, that's why the owl follows Ahsoka- some believe that Ahsoka is not the light daughter, Anakin in the mortis realm was told he was destined to take the fathers place, so his presence in the world between worlds was him being the father, a balance of light and dark. The son survived the mortis arc in clone wars and not mentioned since. that's my understanding anyway. And the thing calling Baylan potentially would be the mother that the father exiled.

I dont understand the hate this show gets. Ive thoroughly enjoyed it.

[@sineaterdred1]

👏👏👏Thank you! Recast everyone, they already have Han and Lando. And pretty much Leia also (thinking of Carrie's daughter). We stand for Stan, he'd make a good Luke 🖖😎👍

Amazing finale. Crying in the last 5 minutes so much 😢

[@doronspencer2177]

Ashoka is the light side daughter reborn with mori, the father was supposed to pass his power to the chosen one anikin balance, the son is the dark side, but he’s pointing at the mother who was imprisoned bcus she drank poison and went crazy. Her name is aberoth

Undead stormtroopers were a thing in death troopers,a book about,you guessed it,zombie stormtroopers. However I don’t think the book itself is canon considered,but it’s plausible Disney got the idea for undead night troopers being based off the book

I loved this season… What an incredible show. (And I’m with ya, Steven. Force Ghost Anakin got me too. Hah) :)

[@SunDKiller]

Season 2 hasn't been confirmed but what is confirmed is a Dave Filoni Movie that is all the Star Wars TV characters together against Thrawn. But I do think there is going to be a season 2.

[@Raymail-tj4cf]

Ray did great. They need to recast him like Dumbledore. I hope they can find the right person.

[@mikedignum1868]

They will have to recast Baylan for season two. The Daughter's statue being broken must relate to her death and saving Ahsoka, her life force now resides in Ahsoka.

[@Billyregin]

Or just change the plot a bit

[@allenfitch2996]

Stevenson was quietly brilliant. Will be missed. Thrawn is simply in control of all situations.

Where did he get the kyber crystal?? There's literally sabers in the dojo, and Huyang literally has a whole workshop on their ship. Not every kyber crystal requires some wild trip or it chosing its wielder. Im sure Huyang had some lying around.

[@scumdog666]

Huyang holds kyber crystals inside his chest for safekeeping

I am pretty sure there was a lot more involved with Baylon's story but they cut it all out and just gave him that one final scene to sum it all up in the best way possible and give him a proper send off. Given Ray's sad and untimely death, I feel like this leaves it in a place where they could end his story and not have to leave a bunch unsaid. If anything, he may have left a message for Shin to follow in his footsteps in the next season (which I hope there is one before the movie). RIP Ray. You were a treasure to this series.
