AHSOKA | Part 2 REACTION

[@PlanetLinuxChannel]

Dave did write the entire thing, so all the story elements are entirely his. Remember that George wrote the OT, but didn’t actually direct 5 and 6, despite still having major influence in their production. That’s what it’s like for Dave. And he is directing another episode this series (I think 5).

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

Wouldn't be surprised, if that episode/Part Five features flashbacks to TCW, and involves Luke and Leia Skywalker, and, hopefully, the Force ghost of Anakin. Unless, this episode is where Ahsoka and Sabine arrive at The New Beyond.

[@inefekt]

yeah, Rebels was Dave's show but every single episode I believe was directed by maybe 8 different directors while Dave was supervising director for all but season 3. Dave actually directed just one episode, Twin Suns

[@LegitScott]

I wouldn't worry too much about different directors, the script being Dave's is the most important thing because there is no room for anyone else to mess with the lore. And I'm pretty sure he had an eye on production too, this series definitely has his name written all over it. Ahsoka is his baby.

[@MarkSpizzle]

literally lol

[@mattwhelan13]

I think Morgan was holding back when Ahsoka beat her, not wanting to reveal her nightsister magic. I think they are really going to lean in to the nightsisters being super powerful, especially with what they have done with Merrin in the games. Morgan could be a very scary opponent if she goes all out with her powers

[@kirkhassett8726]

I suspected from her first appearance in Mando Season 2 as the Magistrate, that Morgan Elsbeth was a witch…

[@playlistb3795]

Very few people have ever been able to knock a Saber out of Ahsoka's hand. What felt odd in her Mando episode gets great payoff knowing what Morgan is.

[@Pit.Badger]

You also have to remember that she was a very powerful figurehead in the shipyard industry in building hyper drives for the Empire.

[@gnarhesh5527]

I think Ahsoka already knows because in The Mandalorian she says Morgan’s people were massacred.

[@kirkhassett8726]

Sabine clearly had a brush with death. Had Shin Hati been more accurate with her lightsaber, a direct impaling into Sabine’s chest and through her spine, her fate would have been the same as Qui-Gon’s. Filoni has indeed written the entire series, and he’s also directed Episode 5 (Rosario’s favorite episode). But he’s chosen an impressive group of directors, including Rick Famuyiwa, who’s directing the finale. I’ve read that Disney is withholding the decision on whether to move forward on Season 2 until they see the viewership this season gets. And isn’t it amazing to see what Lucasfilm can do with a TV series, when they have a proper budget?! Ahsoka clearly was given a big budget in line with the one given to ANDOR, as opposed to the outrageously skimpy budget given to Obi-Wan Kenobi…

[@Bryan-wu1ss]

Directed 1st episode too

[@snack_bar2474]

Episode 5 is most people’s favorite episode. It is the coolest thing Disney Star Wars has given us since S1&2 of the Mandalorian.

[@inefekt]

"Poor Qhi Gon" I find it so funny how people simply cannot comprehend the thought process of these writers. Firstly, Qui Gon was stabbed right under the solar plexus while Sabine is stabbed on her side, presumably under her liver. The writers are very obviously telling us 'hey, Qui Gon was stabbed in a major organ, that's fatal but Sabine is stabbed away from major organs so survived'. Not to mention Ahsoka was seconds away from her and able to get her to medical assistance straight away. It's a pretty simple concept....

[@jamesbuchananbarnesss]

Dave Filoni might have not directed every episode, but keep in mind, his main job in everything he's worked in was never to be a director. Either way he still created the show and wrote all the episodes, so I think we're fine here😅

[@k--music]

Dave wrote the whole thing. I don’t mind him staying out of the director’s chair for a few episodes, it’s the story that matters most. Plus George didn’t direct the originals and arguably elements of the prequels took a hit when he had to be responsible for everything himself. So far it’s been pretty great I hope it keeps the quality up

[@IndieFilmmaker82]

Dave is the creator/showrunner. In television the showrunner is the creative equivalent of the director on a film. He wrote every episode and oversaw every aspect of production.

[@keplerthe3399]

This is actually exciting, a whole other galaxy for fans who love Star Wars lore expansion.

[@erindrury785]

So happy you are back. I am so enjoying our beloved characters brought to life.

[@Ingeneious]

At the beginning, when Baylan is looking at the sky, you can see the faint silhouettes of purrgils moving.

[@goestheboom5211]

And hear them

[@ArcheoVariety]

How is your newborn? All my best wishes. Thank you for watching the show with us

[@ssotkow]

I'm sure this show is a welcomed escape for a stressful father deprived of sleep.

[@SodoMojo22]

So far I love it for what it is - the sets, scenery, and camera work is beautiful. The story is easy to follow yet complicated enough to keep it interesting. It feels realistic, no overblown egos or forced drama to progress the storyline. Conversations are meaningful and have heart. The bad guys are excellent, the good guys are excellent. The acting is solid, the music is fantastic. Ahsoka looks so good, Sabine looks great, love Huyang, Baylen and his side kick - great! Hera's motherly approach, Chops comic releif, Mystery of Morrok is intriguing, The Nightsister is perfect...the ships, the city, the com tower and its cat, the droids....I could go on and on. I went in just hoping for some minor entertainment and it has 100% sucked me in and I am so hopeful for the next episodes. If I HAD to critique something - when Sabine was introduced in ep1 the music that was being played was so obnoxious it was distracting and ruined the dialogue.

[@dalehirlehey4754]

I assume the music that was being played was what she was meant to be listening to - not underscoring - much like I am sure we all do at points when alone driving etc.

[@SodoMojo22]

@@dalehirlehey4754 Agree, that's what I meant. I get that it may be there to set her tone...but it just felt off and didn't work for me.

[@goestheboom5211]

​@SodoMojo22 yeah I agree they tried to hard to make her look rebellious which I understand for people who don't watch rebels but her running off with the map was good enough to show that she's more grown now if anything she should be more or less mature so that whole thing threw me off but other than that the rest felt like Star wars

[@BigBadBernatzki]

Qui-Gon was stabbed through the spine…no one else has been

[@Ohmbricks]

sabine has a fleshwound sideways - this difference is importend

[@egypthobby]

That still doesn't answer anything. People can become paraplegic looks at Shmi's husband Lars. Also Maul was cut in half

[@Pinkielover]

The needed some type of trauma and they wanted to end the episode with shock value... No one expected it... But yeah that's only reason why I reduced my final score of the episode from 9 to 8.8 And yeah it was more of a flesh wound on that side of the body .. The main organ they would hit would be a kidney.. But yeah jinn Got it straight ... And he needed to die ... And shin didnt want to kill sabine... All she would do is move her wrist to finish the job

[@playlistb3795]

Nah, sadly they only discovered anti Saber to gut medical technology five minutes after Jinn's death. A tragedy.

[@Ohmbricks]

@@Pinkielover maybe, it was the first fight against a User of a lightsaber for Shin Hati, against a "jedi" and we know what her master think about jedi ....He is Not happy to kill jedis

[@Drifter_316]

Qui-gon died because it was the will of the Force. He had other more important responsibilities the Force needed him for. Plus he was stabbed in a different location than others we have seen

[@dalehirlehey4754]

plus no medical aid close at hand

[@goestheboom5211]

Why do people keep bringing that up people get shot 30 times and survive others get shot once by a stray bullet and die our body has hella durable parts and very weak parts and in a world of aliens and super powers its completely plausible that some would survive when other would not it's not really a hard question I don't know why people keep crying about it

[@alexdeghost2729]

That’s wrong. The Jedi carry out the will of the will of the force and the Sith use the force for selfish exploitive, meaning they prevented Qui Gonn from fulfilling his destiny

[@fozzy6291]

The hyperspace ring looks like a massive version of the ones the Jedi starfighters used to use so it fits right in imo.

[@jasonmatkovich6342]

Sometimes fans, like you, read too far into things and try and assume how the show is going to go rather than just letting things play out. These episodes were establishing each character for those that did not watch Rebels or Clone Wars

[@AlexisE-ti4hj]

If Qui-gon didn’t die I don’t think most of the fandom would have even cared as much about him. I only ever see his death brought up. Not what he meant and stood for as a Jedi lmao

[@unincognito3689]

People literally talk about how Qui-gon was the perfect Jedi all the time. How his ideals and decisions sometimes went against the Jedi Council but made him a better Jedi for it. I see that being talked about way more often than his death. His death only gets brought up when someone else dies/survives a similar injury or when talking about Anakin's fate.

[@NCC-72545A]

The Eye of Seion is a giant hyperspace ring capable of ducking with an ISD like the Jedi Starfighter. And quite going jin was dabbed through His abdomen and spine. And he didn't receive immediate medical attention because of his situation at the time.

[@Cristinas_watching]

8:35 totally agree, I hadn’t thought of it til you mentioned it!

[@Dr.HooWho]

You know its a good opportunity to add some legend characters to star wars canon using the other galaxy, like originally having been in the original galaxy but then traveling to the new galaxy 1000 years ago

[@andylikesstuffchannel]

Me and my then young Son watched Rebels over and over again back then as well as clone wars. Filoni is now the master of transitioning animation to live action

[@ShockwaveTheLogical]

13:58 For a split second I thought that was a jump gate from the X series (space games if you're unaware)

[@Pinkielover]

I'm gonna call it the large Hyper drive ring what they're gonna do with it They're going to use a large Captured Purrgill/spacewhale To go intergalactic because they're the only thing that they can use to go between the galaxies their technology is limited... but yeah I call that why else would they need something that size,, The hyperdrive is just needed to get to whatever planet destination they need to get to ,, to capture the whale... This episode I gave a solid 9 out of 10

[@joshritz7067]

So am I the only one who's eyes thought that was a big LEGO stud that Chopper picked up?

[@Copyrightme81]

He might not be directing all of them but damn sure he's looking at them.

[@Saphthings]

I think "a new beginning" was their way of going, "I know Disney messed up this galaxy and the future of it... but hey! There's more galaxies! We could say there's Jedi there, or etc, and go there, and leave the "skywalker saga" here, and have a whole adventure there!" xD

[@christopherpeters6365]

Thank you, yes. I am loving everything in this show. Amazing chemistry, fantastic writing and great new/old familiar shots a punty with sweet space Jedi fight! I had often thought about how they might do this in zero gravity as a kid! 😂 Cheers from Arizona brother! 😎🤙🤙

[@Thevikingninja117]

“For others, a new beginning.” Confirmed the sequels are not canon!

[@NuclearFridge1]

I'm here for that. 😊

[@wrorchestra1]

The Hyperdrive Ring looks big enough to take an Imperial Star Destroyer, like the Chimera. With enough drives from old SSDs, that's a lot of Hyperdrive power for something the size of a Imperial I. Long distance travel in a short time? Might even be faster than the Falcon?

[@sakisaotome6753]

Baylan and shin have a dark orange lightsaber they are distinctly not red for a reason according to filoni

[@backerman10]

I have a feeling that guy is a starkiller from the force unleashed games, former darth Vader's appearance

[@MarkAtkins]

I'm going to make this comment here. How many people in the whole of Star Wars died from a stab? Only Quigon. (I hope it spelled his name right) And that was so because Maul wanted to kill him. All the other times ppl were killed they were slashed. Darth Vader never delivered a kill stroke to Reva. The point I am making is that when a person wants to kill you they will kill you with a sabre. The times ppl survived, death was not the end move. I love this show by the way.

[@jasonmatkovich6342]

It doesnt make sense to see Thrawn right away, we've got to get to the other galaxy first. Also its an 8 episode season, like a second season, and ultimately a movie. You don't need to rush things through. Its called the building of expectations. And I believe Filoni will deliver

[@DenicheSenpai]

"...But that's what reminds me of the Infinity war, with Thor and the full force of the star..." you mean your brother?

[@DarthSherm94]

To be fair Dave Filoni may be writing it all and there’s different directors but at the same time Dave Filoni will have ahead the final say with what goes and doesn’t like with Lucas and the originals, there were different directors but he had the final say

[@johnbrowning4886]

Great video as always Skyman! I’d definitely watch a Rebels reaction series, even if it was only key episodes (4:16). My only (small) gripe with the episodes was that I wish Sabine wasn’t stabbed; but maybe Ahsoka could have showed up a little earlier and forced Shin to leave. It also would have been cool to see a Jedi temple on Lothal, but it’s only episode 2; and I’m not sure if the one in Rebels was the only one on the planet or not.

[@SephirotHeRe]

What makes me sad is that all this is is happening but when u think of the future it’s the Ray trilogy and the first order 😢😢😢

[@TheIronDuke9]

I wonder if that whole other galaxy is a galaxy that is far, far, away. I hope this doesn't happen but with the show creators teasing the idea of time travel (across space and time) they could conceivably make the SW universe intersect with our Earth. It would be a terrible idea imo but right from the beginning of the franchise it was established that all of this really happened, it just took place a long time ago in a... now if they make it possible for the characters to travel forward in time across galaxies...

[@timkennedy8766]

Watch the end of Empire Strikes Back... they actually stare off into that Galaxy they are looking for.

[@cailee5332]

I loved the second half the most it showed chopper's attitude was awesome the story so far is perfect and it makes sense that Sabine is a padawan because in rebels she beat kanan in the episode where she was training to take the darksaber so it makes sense she why she was able to beat kanan.

[@fe6uary]

the only issue i have with this show is the same with other disney star wars shows is that theres a lack of alien races in the background characters its 90% humans

[@bpresley1979]

I think Thrawn and Ezra show up in episode 5 that's the next one Filoni directs

[@jasonmatkovich6342]

The ring is to bring back the Chimaera

[@moderndancingfool]

Let me ask you - watching the episode - not knowing that Dave Filoni didn't direct it - were you 'disappointed'? No, it looked like you were enjoying yourself until you read that. I swear, Star Wars fans can be children sometimes. Empire Strikes Back? (arguably the best Star Wars movie ever?) Wasn't directed by George Lucas - it was Irvin Kershner. Cause George knew enough to know that if he took on too much, it would suffer. Filoni's fingerprints are all over this. Relax.

[@JangTheKim]

Do you think the masked “inquisitor” could be Barriss Offee?

[@englishmidnight]

So obviously Ezra, is the guy in the black suit and mask.

[@totallyanonymousbish9599]

[@yannik8271]

I am really wondering who is under the Inquisitor's mask.

[@Surisis]

Baylan Skoll from ep1 gloats "we are no jedi." then in episode 2 he mopes about how there are "so few jedi" left. I didn't watch the Animated Shows so I can't get any good read on the character...Feloni or not I think Disney is still changing scripts. I wish they would just trust creators instead of meddling with the brand.

[@HeyItsRicki85]

I hate that we have to keep explaining to people that Sabine wasn't stabbed in a vital area AND got medical almost immediately.

[@NuclearFridge1]

Agreed. Qui Gon and Obi Wan were in the basement of a power plant. By the time medical help could have got down there it was too late. Ahsoka on the other hand had a ship and direct comms to help. Like a crash team could have met her halfway back to the city... 🙄

[@goestheboom5211]

​@NuclearFridge1 it doesn't matter anyways you don't have to explain the location or nothing it literally happens in real life all the times people get shot once and instantly die other get shot 30 times and walk away fine it happens and definitely would happen a lot with a hot beam that stops all bleeding lightsabers are pretty useless when it comes to stabbing unless you know exactly where to stab other than that cutting is what will kill

[@DerekEvans1013]

You have some audio issues?? Your mouth was moving but no sound...

[@MrModerate_kane]

I think the end of E1 spoiled my enjoyment start of E2, sabre stab means nothing now. This show is all about feeding into Daves Movie, it will be the culmination of forces joining up. Remember in Disney - Snoke is about, palpatine is about, First Order is in power, luke is drinking blue milk, spoiled child Ben solo has started killing again, and the knights of ren, are standing looking menacing but not doing much. So they will have to either nodd to E7 status, or blank it out with a new galaxy far far away, could we be heading to a new galaxy with new stories skipping the shoddy sequels? What ever happens take mando and grogu with you at the end, his group are the best thing in starwars, and for the love of negotiations, get Gina to come back, if nothing else, for the fans of strong female leads that handle themselves.

[@k--music]

I’m not so cynical abt it considering it is feeding into Dave’s movie about Thrawn as opposed to the sequels directly, and the new galaxy thing opens the door to totally new stories. Sure there will be references but it’s not directly connected in any way you can’t ignore. And Sabine was pretty clearly stabbed in the side without hitting vital organs, even a real life stab would kill you if it went through your heart and spine and not if it hit where Sabine was and you had immediate medical care

[@dresdenwarlock7978]

MY personal guesses for the other galaxy boil down to these two things. The Rakatans OR the Yuuzhan Vong. Who. Knows. It's Filoni, he has deep and MAD respect for the EU, so. Damn. Could be anything.

[@Floyd1138]

The whole world between worlds and time travel was the 1 thing i didnt like from rebels, im still not a fan of this being in canon,.... unless its used to alter ep 8 and 9.

[@neutchain7838]

My only gripe with how Qui-Gon died is that they showcased earlier in the same movie that they can run very fast. Obi-Wan could've run through those ray shields in one go, dispatch Maul and save his master but stuff needed to happen so his ability was on cooldown I guess. This always bothered me, that fast run added nothing to the scene they could've just defeat the droinds nothing would've changed. But as he said Qui-Gon got stabbed through his spine it seemed and there was no immediate help available so I guess he died. Reva got stabbed twice but she was so badass she didnt needed help through sheer female power she survived both times and even got to Tatooine before Obi-Wan did. Such talent.

[@HellionSol]

For the force speed thing, when he used it at the beginning of the movie, I would say he was fully rested with all his force energy at full reserve so it was no issue to speed away. Later in the film, he is a bit more tired due to Maul battering him down. Obi did take a nasty fall before using the force to leap incredibly high to even reach the platform. The force aids movements, but it does have limits- especially for a Padawan [arguably Obi is at Jedi Knight level in episode 1 though]

[@undie3x7]

What is with people bringing up Reva. I guess Maul survived getting cut in half through sheer male power? 🙄 No, Reva surviving is not comparable to Qui Gon dying, but Maul's survival. They survived through their hatred. Get a fucking brain and grow up. This BS is irritating as hell already.

[@fettmaneiii4439]

they gotta stop treating star wars director's positions as the village bicycle. They use it for favor giving etc. They need to commit to 1-2 directors for projects and go with it, stop it with a different director for every single episode!
