Kreia didn’t want to kill the Sith and Jedi, she wanted to destroy the force. She wanted to end this force that led others to fall and made others slaves to its will, including herself. She wanted to end the Force’s influence over the galaxy.

[@ElChris816]

I completely agree with you on this. Baylan and Shin quickly became my favorite characters in this series. I don't believe Baylon intends on killing Ahsoka or betraying his word to Sabine. He's using Thrawn as a way to get to his objective and won't think twice about betraying them. Since they left he's kept his right hand on the hilt of his lightsaber whenever he's around Morgan, Thrawn or the Night Mothers. He definitely has his own agenda and I can't wait to see what that is.

[@TehLastRonin]

That hand on the hilt is a great point! I noticed that throughout the episode as well

[@Bb-xq7gk]

Wow that's a great spot I hadn't noticed that!

They really are adding in some amazing details in this show. The hand on the hilt. Thrawns slightly worn uniform. Im sure there are others I dont know about.

[@shakeemnba4]

I thought I was the only one who seen his hand on his lightsaber lol

[@AsariNextDoor]

I noticed this connection the moment Baylan talked about ending the cycle of war too. In addition to Baylan having very similar motivations to Kreia and the hyperspace ring being called Eye of Sion, I thought Thrawn's damaged ship has a lot of visual similarity to Nihilus' ship with the battle damage. I think Ahsoka is definitely taking heavy inspiration from KOTOR 2.

[@DrRippenShitten]

And Ahsoka being booted from the Jedi order, she's The Outcast 😍😍😍😍 plus she's been able to pick up on echoes of the force like Meetra could.

I didn't know the actor had passed. This guy was the best part of Asokha, I have no idea how they will replace him. Such a great acting job, you could read his script just by looking at his microexpressions.

[@chapmje]

I think he has the feel of a disillusioned crusader. His dress and fighting style are western Crusader. He reminds me of Balian of Ibelin and his backstory is similar. He’d be someone who saw Jerusalem fall, he’s someone who would have admired the spirit of the crusaders but lamented their personal failings. He saw the cycle of wars between the faiths leading to a cycle of rising and falling kingdoms and empires. Also, I’m thinking the big twist is Ezra being insane. Thrawn hints at something about Ezra. There’s also an insane Jedi also in the original Thrawn books. He’s stranded for years on a wasteland somehow surviving both Thrawn and the witches, yet is conversation has a strange feel to it when we finally see him. Like a guy stranded on the desert island who seems normal at first but who has lost his connection to sanity. There’s something of a treasure island quality to this story with everyone seeking one thing but with a Balin doing a Long John Silver thing. There’s an insane person in that story too.

[@Kelnx]

Hey! You take that back! Old Ben Gunn wasn't insane, he just hadn't had a proper meal in a while. Just a bit of cheese and he was right as rain.

He’s been through a lot of history with the Ghost team, and having that deep self sacrificing family bond with each of the Ghost members and extended members like Ahsoka, Rex, and others I doubt he’ll go insane… at least not by choice if it happens. He’s got too many people after Kanan Jarrus that loves him and he knows it to allow himself to willingly go insane. We shall see.

I don't think that recasting Ray's character would be a good Idea. The problem with recasting important main or side characters is that its almost impossible to recapture the original actors intent and vision. I think they should respect Ray's portrayal and not recast him but let Shin's character carry on his plot line if they do make another season. This also assumes that both Baylan and Shin survive the first season.

Vincent Reagan the guy who plays Admiral Garp in the One Piece live action and who was in 300 would be a perfect recasting both in looks and acting presence

[@77madman]

Kreia is my all time favourite Star Wars character, and her philosophy has been a cornerstone to how I have come to view the Light and Dark Side in Star Wars, and the nature of how the force seems to keep repeating itself. I would love to see the canon tackle some of her philosophy, but unless its Kreia herself down in that planet, I don't imagine Disney would care enough to give it the time.

Could give him a Revan like mask, and state the voice change was due to a fight damaging his vocal chords.

[@nonhuman7562]

Disney might be willing to cast an actor who is able to emulate the late Ray Stevenson, but using audio/visual deepfakes to make him appear identical in order not to break with continuity. They did the same with Tarkin, Leia, Luke, Anakin/Vader, Palpatine, etc. Multiple actors playing multiple roles for a single character (ie: physique, voice, face, etc). Lucasfilm have been doing it since the 1970s. In fact, the character of Darth Vader has been played by 11 physical/voice actors since George Lucas created him. So anything is possible. If Ray's family gave permission to use Ray's likeness and voice, all they would need is a look-alike actor to emulate him physically. CGI could do all of the rest.

Exactly! The moment i heard Baylan send end the cycle I thought of Kreia and her "love" and fanaticism for Meetra's unique existence. True power against the force. The problem is Kreia was unable to attain that power, it was only the unique being that Meetra was that made that dream possible. We may have a similar tone with Baylan, true power but untouchable and unreachable by him.

What's so great about this story is how much it's diving into the Legends lore to guide it, but not be beholden to that either. I think that it's telling the Great Mothers immediately recognize the Jedi teachings in Sabine despite being apart from the original Galaxy for thousands of years at a minimum. Something about the origins of the Jedi, like the Dathomiri, must come from this galaxy. My guess is the Tho Yor and original philosophy of the Je'daii are what Baylan is pursuing, the "beginning" of the cycle before light and dark separated into different factions and threw the force out of balance forever onward

[@pejmansehatpour7838]

While you are right in your analysis of Kreia, but IMHO what makes them seem look alike is that they are opposite poles. While Kreia rejected the force, Baylan embraces it, but in a more balanced way as a Jedi or a sith. To me he is taking a middle way. He says something similar to what the Buddha says: I want to end the cycle of suffering and war. In Buddha's teaching that is achieved by taking the middle way.

[@DeliriousDaydreamer]

Kreia and her apprentices were very nihilistic. I mean Kreia herself was blamed and exiled by the Jedi for Revan's actions, and then betrayed again by Nihilis and Sion. After which, she blamed the Force for the endless cycle of Jedi vs Sith. Sion was essentially immortal through his hatred for the Jedi, and he despised Kreia for her teachings. "The failure is yours. No longer do your whispers crawl within my skull, no longer do we suffer beneath teachings that weaken us. And now you run in search of the Jedi... They are all dead, save one. And one broken Jedi cannot stop the darkness which is to come." Besides just hating Kreia, he sounds convinced, but not ecstatic, at his own declaration. Darth Nihilis is named after Nihilism, though he is probably only nihilistic about the fact he is a walking void that is vulnerable every time he feeds: he is the darkness Sion mentioned after all. The living death of the Force. Nothing matters to him other than what will satisfy his unending hunger, if only for a short while. So Kreia being described as the opposite of the Buddha is hilariously accurate.

Maybe Baylan is aiming to a third way to the force, which would include Ahsoka and all force users with a mind of their own. It is a way less ambitious target for him, who is really short on resources, and so much more in line with what I've seen. Ultimately I believe he is one of the good guys.

The DarK Rises and the Light to meet, i think thats the cycle he is trying to break....

[@wafflesarelove]

World building wise this episode was amazing. Last episode was amazing for character building.

1:15 ALWAYS assume that Thrawn knows

[@mkb4560]

I believe that Thrawn is not running from anything he just wants to get back to the galaxy

[@lordpneumael]

My prediction: I think the thing that is stirring in the other galaxy is The Mother.

Kreia wanted to kill the Force itself, she even said that the Force has it's own will. Also Kreia is dead, she died on Malachor V. But guess who's alive and locked away? Abeloth.

I think this makes way more sense than Baylan being the Cannon version of Joras Sabyoth

[@CaptainGrnThmbs]

I feel like something is luring Baylon he even says “can’t you hear it’ , he’s trained his apprentice for something special . I believe he’s possibly being lured by Abeloth & his apprentice will be who’s she’s able to consume & take her body . Maybe then Thrawns death by icy cold tentacles will come true at the hands of Abeloth . The Nightsisters & thrawn are all fleeing whatever great power this is on Peridia .

I would love to see a novel or two following Baylan and his apprentice
