the 1st time im guessing not the 2nd...... not sure why youtubers came up with this idea of doing a little high light at the start of a video. i mean everyone does it so shes just following the trend but its like a joke in a movie trailer. not as funny when you see it in the actual show or movie since the trailer already spoiled the moment.

When we first see Baylan Skoll on Seatos the sounds we hear are the call of a Purgill moving in the clouds. Apparently if you zoom in on the bright patch of sky and adjust brightness you can see the shape of a Purgills body moving across the sky. And FYI the names Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati are derived from Norse mythology where two wolves named Skoll and Hati constantly chase the Sun and the Moon attempting to eat them.

[@erikolson4148]

Marrok is a Sith Inquisitor, with blood red lightsaber blades, Shin Hati, Baylan Skoll's apprentice, wields an orange and/or burning red lightsaber blade. Hers and Baylan are Dark Jedi/Fallen Jedi and their lightsaber colors are apparently called "Righteous Fury" 🤔, which is what Dagan Gera in Jedi Survivor bleeds his yellow lightsaber into once he starts seething about the Jedi Order having "abandoned and betrayed him" 😓.

[@erikolson4148]

In Norse mythology, Hati and Skoll are wolves that are the offspring of Fenrir/Fenris. Hati chases the moon at night, and Skoll chases the sun during the day.

[@ronweber1402]

When Ahsoka said to Sabine "You've done enough" it wasn't to protect her or that she had done her part and it was enough; she was throwing major shade insinuating that Sabine had run off with the map against her express wishes and had now allowed it to be stolen and placed in the hands of the enemy. So now Ahsoka is saying Sabine should just stay back so she doesn't fuck up anything else.

[@sakisaotome6753]

I dont think thats actually how she meant it. her tone of voice doesn't match that interpretation at all. when sabine tells here that there were two but that she took one out, she knows how resilliant they are and as she explained later, she suspected it would wait around at her place. As she begins heading out she reaches over and taps her leg and says to get some rest. then she says no you've done enough but there isn't any anger or even a hint of a negative emotion in her voice here. then after getting the head she comes right back to sabine. after sabine finds out where they are and sabine says that she want to join, she tells her "no, you need to recover." if anything she sounds potentially upset this time where as before she hadn't. adn its pretty obvious, because sabine already got hurt and she's trying to go on another mission before she's ready. she doesn't want her to get hurt. it seems ahsoka is doing a great job of masking that despite all her talk about how bad attachments are, she herself can't avoid them. she has attachments toward Sabine. We saw this clearly in ep 4 where she actually taps into the dark side to hurt shin when she thinks that Shin had killed Sabine.

[@ronweber1402]

@@sakisaotome6753 Well we will remain at odds because I absolutely believe the inflection in her voice said she was disappointed in Sabine.

[@splatoonistproductions5345]

I believe the eye of Sion ship gets its name from the dark lord of the sith: darth sion, he was a Jedi but became a dark lord after the scourge of malachor during the mandalorian wars some 6000 years ago. Pretty cool honestly

[@ferchrissakes]

It was Sabine’s thoughts we heard at the beginning; what we heard was what Ezra said in the recording he made for Sabine (as we saw last ep). No one else would be remembering/dreaming that.

[@ssotkow]

14:59 This wailing noise is reminiscent of sound effects and score of Andor

[@Eva_H]

I like the reinterpreted scene as seen in the end of rebels S4 before Ahsoka and Sabine leave to go find Ezra. I just wanted more out of this second episode, considering I’m a big fan of rebels, still looking forward to the third episode though.

[@oxhine]

Hey, Emme! Another solid episode. We get a live-action Chopper! PETER JACOBSON, the shipyard manager, is a veteran character actor from many shows including "The Lost Room", "House", "The Americans", "Colony", "Ray Donovan" and "Fear the Walking Dead". I don't think he had any Imperial inclinations and was just as surprised as Ahsoka and Hera that so many loyalists were operating right under his nose. The introduction of this new galaxy and its inhabitants creates many possibilities most especially paving the way for the YUUZHAN VONG INVASION! That massive hyperdrive ring is to provide the propulsion necessary for extragalactic travel which far outdistances intragalactic travel! Interesting that Baylan admires Ahsoka and would rather spare her if he could. He still identifies with the Jedi. Great Marrok-Ahsoka duel! Love her sidestep. I want to know who he is! The last scene on Lothal matches the epilogue of "Rebels" very closely minus Ahsoka's staff. That means these two episodes took place after "Mandalorian" Season 2 but before the "Rebels" epilogue. The rest of this show predates "Book of Boba Fett" since it occurs two years after "Mandalorian" Season 2 which presents the opportunity to show Ahsoka's first meeting with Luke during the course of this show!

[@donaldwatson7698]

Third guy is Marrok, clearly an Inquisitor but no idea why we're not given his Inquisitor number. Possibly those no longer matter. "Marrok" might be a pseudonym, we'll see. The name comes from Arthurian legend: Sir Marrok was a night enchanted into a wolf by the sorceress Morgan Le Fey (and we have a witch Morgan. ) The last names of Baylan and Shin also reference mythological wolves. Skoll & Hati were wolves who chased the sun and moon respectively in Scandinavian tales. It's Dave Filoni showing his love for wolves again, and I for one and happy to see it.

[@davidhowell7279]

[@dougcollins9980]

As I understand it - in the Star Wars reality - hyperspace travel outside the home Galaxy is very limited and almost completely uncharted. Travel to another galaxy would require a charted route which the ancient map provides - but even then it requires a super powerful ship to sustain light speed travel for the extended time required to reach even the closest nearby galaxy. Thrawn was dragged there by Purgills against his will - and would likely be trapped there with no way back. Comparing to our own Milky Way galaxy the journey to our closest neighbour galaxy (Andromeda) is 25 times further than the longest journey inside our galaxy (the full diameter - edge to edge). So you would need a vessel capable of travelling around 25 times the longest journey anyone had ever made.

i love that the end of ep 2 is also the end of the rebels epilog from the last ep

[@samratcliffe5253]

The "Eye of Sion" may refer to Darth Sion from the game Knights of the Old Republic II. Sion was a Dark Jedi killed on Malachor V at the end of the Jedi Civil War, but used the Force to harness his pain and anger to hold his body together even as it decomposed. They keep hinting at bringing the KOTOR games into cannon, and I am all for it.

[@0LadyV0]

It's a hyperspace ring. They were uses by the Jedi throughout the Clone Wars.

[@jackson857]

6:36 No it was built by the Nightsisters. It was built by a race from a different galaxy. 12:00 All we know is that Marrok appears to be a former Inquisitor.

[@RB_Eldritch]

Incase you are unaware, leaving the galaxy is a huge deal in Star Wars, or at least it was before Disney de-cannonized allot of stuff, this is the first time inter-galactic travel has been mentioned in the new cannon to my knowledge, in fact the word universe is only used a handful of times throughout the cannon, people mostly just say galaxy. Anyway they haven't even fully explored the outer edge of their own galaxy, and to travel to another is so difficult that no-one is really trying to do it, but now we have this inter-galactic map and Thrawn in another galaxy, and its implied that the galaxy he is in isn't even the closest neighbour, it's all very interesting and mysterious... and a little terrifying.

[@laurijaakkola3762]

The third guy is a former inquisitor named Marrok.

[@target844]

Ahsoka toe shoes are likely inspired by Japanese footwear. One of the major inspirations for the Jedi is samurai. Star Wars is a combination of a western and a samurai movie set in space. Tabi sock had a separate big toe from the rest, not each toe separate like in many modern western toe shoes. They were used with Geta, a type of sandal that looks a lot like flip flops but wooden with two or three wooden teeth that keep you of the ground. The shoe variant is called Jika-tabi and if you look for images of them online you see exactly what Ashoka is wearing. I would not be surprised if it off a shelf Jika-tabi with a bit of leather added on the shin ankle that has the look of armor. So not a variant of a modern type of toe shoe but a nod back to what inspired Star Wars

[@MikeWood]

The mural scene was shot for shot the same scene from Rebels. So this really is now the next season of Rebels. :)

[@doctor8342]

The Inquisitor looking guy is speculated to be Sam Witwer's character. You know him he's done the voice of Maul in Clone Wars and Rebels as well as Palpatine in Rebels. He was also a character in the video games The Force Unleashed he was Starkiller who was Vaders dark side apprentice and hugely strong like so strong he pulled a star destroyer out of orbit with the force, they used his likeness and he did the voice so basically Starkiller is Sam Witwer. He was in the credits for this episode but we never saw him and there was no one in the credits except him that could be the Inquisitor guy.

[@sakisaotome6753]

i thought i heard you say you were wondering what she had changed on the saber. The only obvious thing that we can see is that she changed the emitter. Ezra lightsaber emitter was fairly open with a small bit of a lip. Sabine though modified the lightsaber to be more closed off with long dual guards. If you've played either Jedi fallen order or jedi survivor it is the Jaro Tapal style emitter.

[@joshuawells835]

There's some speculation that Marrok is going to be how a Legends character named Starkiller will be introduced to Canon. Galen Marek a.k.a Starkiller is from the Force Unleashed video games from 2008 and 2010, where he was the son of a Jedi whom Vader found and trained as a secret apprentice. He went on multiple missions and even helped kick-off the Rebel Alliance (at least in Legends).

Episode 1 was dedicated to Ray Stevenson, who plays Skoll, passed away in May. I was hoping that his character would return to the Jedi ways since, after Order 66 there are so few force users. And since Luke is basically the only real Jedi left, I was thinking that it would be cool if Skoll and Hati went back to Jediism, but knowing that Ray Stevenson is no longer with us, I don’t see how that could be written in. BTW, I know you are a Punisher fan, Stevenson also played The Punisher in my he low budget Punisher War Zone. It was pretty bad but I still watched it about 5 times. 😂

I definitely view the 2 orange saber users as Dark Jedi, as opposed to some sith or muahaha evil people, not to mention the Padawan braid on Shin!

[@icarusthefinal3206]

I'm liking the show so far. Id say the lightsabers are at least kind of red. The glow is red, but the beam is orange rather than white like normal. Looks more red than Cal's orange saber.

[@RB_Eldritch]

I'm guessing this orange-red is meant to indicate something along the lines of a Dark Jedi rather than full on Dark Side/Sith, as is becoming increasingly clear The Force isn't black and white, perhaps they just aren't corrupted and hateful enough to fully bleed their crystals.

[@legendsofabhaile]

The way Baylon wouldn't make eye contact when he said they'd earn - I think he's playing a long game, he wants to kill thrawn for some reason connected to his past. Ends-justify-the-means type stuff.

[@davidhowell7279]

I'm not so sure about that. She asked him what will happen, not what they will earn. I reason that he believes that under Thrawn's command, there will be the power to overthrow what he believes is wrong in the galaxy. He was disillusioned with the republic and the Jedi council and now with the new republic. They are too corrupt and weak to get the job done. He's just picked a side. We just know that it's not a good one.

[@sakisaotome6753]

While i get why so many people think Ahsoka is being dismissive when you says "you've done enough" her tone of voice doesn't match that. i honestly do believe that Ahsoka was telling her you dont need to come help you have help me. though i do think it is intentional said that way because sabine certainly does seem to take it as a dismissive you've already done enough. way to go hero" which just shows how much their divide has become

[@clasher138]

I think we can rule out the Inquisitor being Ezra. Ezra was likely at his max height when we saw him last and this guy is taller than Ahsoka. And Ezra was shorter. The studio might not account for that detail but I feel like Filoni would

I commented on this at some point during Rebels, but you really should read the Timothy Zahn trilogy from the 90s to better understand Thrawn. The character has a lot more depth than just being scary. Did anyone else notice that the helmet of the "Inquisitor" in the intro of the second episode was blue and not red, which usually indicates a good character?

[@kebabgud]

Lets not begin that whole intro theorizing again.. remember The Armorer was red for Mandalorian season 3 and people were convinced she was a bad guy? how did that work out again?

[@Chunthoor]

@@kebabgud I just looked again because what you wrote made me wonder and in Mandalorian S3 E8 her helmet is blue. However, I don't know now if it was possibly different in other episodes. What does that have to do with theorizing anyway? You could follow that exactly in all series so far and I didn't theorize but just asked if anyone else noticed that. ;-)

[@johnmiller7682]

Sabine is and has always been force sensitive, just like every other being in the galaxy. Yoda himself even said it, the force flows through everything. And, if you remember, when Sabine was being trained with the Dark Saber, Kanan told her that she needed to connect with it. And, as she did, it became lighter and easier to use. How else could that happen, if she wasn't force sensitive.

[@jennym2276]

She is weak with the force.

[@IndieFilmmaker82]

Kanan said she was blocked, so there's still room for her to end up being more powerful.

[@Jiibay7796]

I'm still not so sure that Morgan is hearing Thrawn. My suspicion is that there is something/someone else calling to her. And I suspect that call is not from a very good entity either.

Based on what Sam talked about on his Twitch a few days ago, it doesnt look like he's playing Marrok. Sure, he can't really talk about it anyways because of the strike (and.. you know., spoilers) it may only be a voice gig as for now (until they need Marrok unmasked), just like 95% of the work Pedro does for Mando.

[@AnxMa]

A slight side track but still in the realm; could you consider creating a tribute to the late and amazing Kevin Conroy? He passed away last year, and was the sole reason I got into acting. I have a VA background and there are some preconceived notions that it's not as demanding as regular acting; but the vocal training itself and perfecting the craft may take more time than any acting school. l feel like he's very underrated as Batman (ditto Mark Hamill as Joker) and even non existent in the conversation. PS. You almost saw me as Leon in those new Resident Evil games :)

[@Spaxer]

Hardly underrated, he's often cited, alongside Hamill, as the definitive voice of the characters.

[@thelordofhunger]

Yeah, no way Conroy was or is underrated. Man is the hall mark for how one should tackle the batman character. For so many, me included, he is the voice we hear when reading batman comics. Goated actor and goated human. He deserves all the praise. And so do you, voice acting is awesome and requires some real talent. It should never be considered lesser than standard acting.

[@AnxMa]
