Ahsoka - Season 1 Eps 7 Reaction

[@AmazingChi]

I just love how Rosario basically straight stunted on all those naysayers saying she was too stoic. Post-Anakin trial, she's much closer to Clone Wars Ahsoka. It's almost as if it was Filoni's plan all along.

[@gaflene]

It's wild to me that people are too impatient to see character development in progress in an 8 episode series. It was always clear to me that that's where she was going, but even some of my creative friends who should know better fell prey to that mentality. And also like its not wrong for a person to act differently from how they were as teenagers. The transition from Clone Wars to Rebels was more jarring to me, honestly, because at the time we didn't have the bridge of season 7 to show her becoming that more mature, measured person while she dealt with the aftermath of leaving the order.

[@usamahdalvi9064]

The actor playing Ezra is an example of perfect casting visually

[@djsugarbear6715]

His voice is great. He is a faaaar better Ezra than Aladdin

[@nomisunrider6472]

And in general. I read something a while ago about how when you transfer a character from animation to live action you have to be a little more energetic and expressive to match that energy, and while the series is hit or miss on that Esfandi gets it. He's got all of Ezra's mannerisms down.

[@jtser8322]

He looks just like the animated version of his father from Rebels. I enjoyed it when seeing his beard made Ahsoka laugh knowing how young he was the last time they saw each other. I wonder if he'll keep it in season 2?

Ezra: the force is my ally. Yoda: And a powerful ally it is.

I like to think that Ezra snuck aboard the Chimera every now and then just to chill in some vents.

[@wayfaring_stranger_]

Thrawn finding out Anakin was Ahsoka's master was such a good moment because whatever thought he had about her he instantly had to change it.

[@primal1233]

Thrawn is really cautious when comes to Ahsoka because she was Anakin's apprentice, and he knew Anakin as Darth Vader, and Thrawn fears Vader

[@miquelcanosasanteularia1678]

Thrawn does not fear vader, he respects him

[@miquelcanosasanteularia1678]

Thrawn does not fear vader, he respects him

[@foulrot]

Thrawn knows that Akakin/Vader was unpredictable, which Thrawn really doesn't understand or like, and he figures Ahsoka is as well.

[@smiddlehurst1]

Thrawn told Vader, *to his face*, that he’d come up with three different ways to kill the dark lord after spending most of a novel repeatedly pointing out he was also well aware of the whole Anakin thing. And Vader let him live with what passes for respect in sithville. Thrawn is cautious with Ashoka because he worked with Anakin in the clone wars, knows how much of a mad lad he was and assumes that as Ashoka is still alive she’s probably picked up a few of Anakin’s old habits along the way. Plus Thrawn knows full well he doesn’t need to deal with this Jedi nonsense any more than necessary as the mission is to get back ‘home’. Their deaths, while a bonus, don’t directly benefit him as much as having an extra trooper squad or two will.

[@darthroden]

Thrawn's weakness is that he fear the Force. Its something he can't plan ahead for, with all his strategic mind games. The fact that he's now employing Nightsister magick into his arsenal shows that he can also adapt very quickly.

[@dinin25]

The fact that Ezra uses enough force to block her blade that it warps the blade in two places as the energy is being stretched! 😲

[@mark2graves-movies689]

[@joshridderhoff2050]

Ha, Jay is the first person I’ve heard have the same reaction to Ahsoka’s landing that I did: that weird, hesitant, “That CGI looked funky” thought before shrugging it off and falling right back into the adventure. Love it!

[@ghostlee6434]

To many reactors and viewers focus on the technology of shows and that's why they don't enjoy anything and nitpick constantly. So what...the cgi is off by 10% I grew up watching Godzilla when I knew it was a man in a suit I still enjoyed it and didn't constantly criticize it. It's called suspension of belief maybe y'all need to go back to it.

[@Rcurran13]

In case you guys didnt know...the actor playing Enoch is Wes Chatham(Amos) from The Expanse. :D

[@TheOnlyHawkeye666]

Ezra going full force monk was a great moment! Also saw a breakdown that revealed that his chain mail is made from Strom trooper ID tags, gives more meaning to why Thrawn is so cautious when dealing with him

[@madelinegarber7860]

I saw that too. It took me a bit to warm up to his action, but it grew on me once I saw that that wasn’t the limit of his skill in ep8.

[@mikes6457]

that is hardcore

[@MDestron2282]

Yeah that breakdown was crap. He's not wearing armor made of trooper tags. That doesn't even make sense for the character. People just talk out their butts and report it as facts.

I wouldn't call Baylon a villain. He's not a Sith. Exceptional character. Legend actor.

[@Mike-gz4tj]

You don't have to be a sith to be a villain. And he did play an integral part in Thrawn's return and by proxy a galaxy wide war. And let's not forget his true motivation is his pursuit of power. His desire is to become the most powerful being EVER.

[@dafreak117]

You can be opposed to someone in action and motivation and not be "evil." It is just his path clashes with Asoka and crew. To him he is on the path to fix things, just as Asoka wants to preserve things.

Gotta give kudos to Lars for managing to subtly show an "oh shit" look on his face the moment he wrote the report and who Ahsoka's Master is, all without managing to break character. That's talent.

And we love Ahsoka being a little sassy again and bantering with Huyang. Her reunion with Ezra made me so happy.

Given a Monk's abilities, add in Force powers, and the Force does come out of your feet. 20:50 gotta pull out the Beauregard favorite and Stunning Strike ya on this one Jay, as America didn't invent the gun. The creation of gunpowder dates back to 850 China and the first guns where used by the Mongols. There's even artwork of Medieval knights using muskets on the battlefield centuries before the self appointed "puritans" threw England's biggest hissy fit and ran away from their problems. Ironic that America's national anthem includes the words "home of the brave" knowing that, isn't it? Until such a time as when mass shootings are a just a black spot in history books, no American has any right to be proud of guns.

For some extra trivia, that one guy who was really against Hera, Xiono, is actually the father of Kazuda (Kaz) Xiono from the show Star Wars Resistance! It's really not my personal favorite at all just because it was mostly just racing and fixing stuff and felt like it lacked the stuff Star Wars normally has, but I guess it's canon because of that connection!

Well, Sabine saying, "thats what people say," about the Emperor is because this was before the sequel trilogies. So kind of a, thats how we explain him still living in those movies.

Jay is the first reactor I’ve seen (and I’ve watched every reaction to this show I can find) who saw what I saw in the cgi when Ahsoka jumped out of the ship. It looked weird. But it was the only, *single* spot in the whole show I thought the cgi was anything other than spectacular.

I get that Hera is a main character and we want to side with her, especially since she’s ultimately correct, but I think it’s important to consider things from the other side. Imagine if a US general explicitly disobeyed orders from the senate, requisitioned a fighter squadron to chase down a rogue warlord that they have a vendetta against and is assumed dead, lost several of those fighters and then claimed that the person who helped them do it swam away in the mouth of a whale. They wouldn’t be a general for much longer, for many reasons.

Just a limited series, even like 6 episodes would do... get some old school Obi-Wan and Anakin!

Did either of you ever see the clone wars animated shorts that aired between Star Wars episode 2 and episode 3? There was one in witch Mace Windu got separated from his lightsaber, and had to fight a whole battalion of battle droids in hand to hand combat. This reminds me of that.

[@ryangarner7721]

FYI (don’t know if you already learned this on Discord or not but) - Senator Xiono (the weenie) is already a part of the Star Wars Universe. He’s in a (not fantastic) kids’ show that crosses over with the Sequel films in a pretty major way. So this is just more of Filoni slowly connecting the Mandoverse to the sequel worlds.

[@Manx36]

At this point the Sith, the Jedi, they’ve all fallen into legend. The general public doesn’t know the son of Vader is a Jedi and that he saved them all. They don’t think there are anymore Jedi, they have heard stories, but no one has seen one themselves. Ahsoka is a trained member of the military for all people know.

[@ghostlee6434]

They constantly fail to realize that just because the viewer knows about something that the ones in the show don't.

Omg I laughed way too hard at the return of the lambda joke. Oh also how could I forget! I was so happy when you brought back the Mayluron song when Sabine found Ezra.

This is the weaving of the next set of tales .... Mara Jade ... Nightsisters ... Abeloth ... Mortis Gods ...

[@donaldwatson7698]

One note after having watched all your reactions to Ahsoka to this episode: you're citing a timeline somewhat short. End of "Rebels" occurred in year 1BBY. "Return of the Jedi" happened in 4ABY. Then there were 5 years until the start of "The Mandalorian" in 9ABY. "Ahsoka" is set after season 3 of "The Mandalorian" so we're looking at 12 to 13 years gap between "Rebels" and "Ahsoka", as opposed to the 4 to 6 years I heard cited on previous videos.

How long have Ezra and Thrawn been in this other galaxy? The seige of Lothal was lifted late -1 to early 0 ABY. The Battle Endor was in 5 or 6 ABY. The Mandalorian S1 starts an about 5 years after that. Grogu was with Luke for well over a year, nearly 2 years. So, we’re looking at 13 to 15 years that they’ve been missing.
