@@AdriansCreatures yeah, he's not saving anything, unfortunately. While I think he has the right idea, Filoni isn't a great writer. He's fine when he's slipping in subplots (clone wars, rebels) in other people's stories, but he lacks the vision and depth to create deeper narratives. It's why Lucas kept such a tight reign on what was allowed when he had the IP, specifically with Filoni. And the IP has been so damaged that the vast majority of fans, casual and dedicated, have simply tuned out. Ahsoka is dying hard as far as it's audience goes and even revealing Thrawn in live-action (the character who literally saved the IP in the early 90s) had no real impact now. The sad reality is that everyone is fairly apathetic towards the IP and that's because Disney shit on it for so long. Dave could literally write a masterpiece, which I personally don't think he has the ability to do, and it would still be a hard climb back up for the franchise. And Ahsoka is far from a masterpiece. It's actually boring as all hell with almost infantile writing. Which really sucks because you can see how great it could have been. But that's been the case with almost all of Disney's 'Space Wars'. Missed opportunities.

[@techinrl9869]

I'm doubtful of this. Abeloth is a part of lore few know about and this show is already constrained by people who didn't watch Rebels or Clone Wars. Abeloth would further restrict the audience to a teeny tiny niche. With two episodes left and no prior hints about any of the Mortis gods, this seems farfetched. If they wanted to introduce someone like the Mortis gods, they should have had Huyang tell that story to Ashoka while they killed time in hyperspace.

[@Metro498]

If you take into account that Ahsoka is the only one alive that visit Mortis. The ones assisted in her resurrection.

I think Zeffo are more likely. The scene with Baylan, Shin, Morgan and Thrawn, the wall behind them has Zeffo writing engraved on it. I suspect the Nightsisters are keen to leave because their looting woke something up.

There was meant to be a Zeffo that was referred to having trained Ben in the darkside, told to go see them by Snoke if I remember right.

If you think about it Paridia is also a graveyard, a planet surrounded by death, perfect place for Abeloth. And judging by the writing on the wall from the Zeffo's they would have been around at the time when she was sealed, and why everyone would have fled from that galaxy.

I think hes actually, in good faith, looking for something that could make a difference and change things. but he doesnt know what it is.

Perhaps the event that freed Aboleth a little bit from her confinement was Ezra and Ashoka’s journey into the world between worlds. It would be interesting if Ashoka herself having lept through time created the imbalance that she has to now face in season two. Just conjecture but I would be so down if that was the answer. Also I like the idea that there would be a price paid for up ending the flow of time like they did in the world between worlds.

[@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis]

I would think it was Anakin’s refusal of taking a place to keep the Son and Daughter in check.

[@JothanGurr]

@@JohnGeorgeBauerBuis That would be awesome as well

[@Lsingnatureworld]

Remember in the Ashoka trailer she said “ something is coming , something dark “ she hasn’t said that line yet in the show so we are definitely getting that in the finale, I think Baylan going to release something evil into the universal, it sounds like Abeloth

[@daviddent5662]

Ever since I mentioned this two days ago everyone thinks it's Abeloth and I have to say part of me says it could be but part of me looks at the logistics and says "Maybe it's 'an Abeloth' not THE Abeloth. Because if Dave Filoni brought Abeloth in as a hint for what he's going to do in his movies when all his materials cross over? Many people we care about will die or be corrupted and I don't mean our budding love for Baylan and Shin. I mean Din Djarin and Grogu not to say anything of Ashoka and our Rebels. Abeloth took so much death and destruction to put down that is caused the Jedi and Sith to unite, even if briefly, to fight her. She is also a villain whom uses a old school but dangerous concept of hiding out in possessed avatars so she could pretend to be 'dead' again and again and again.... Gah it would be a nightmare to solve before Filoni reveals that's what his conclusion film is about.

[@mrconfusion87]

I like your idea! NO OTHER ACTRESS should portray THE Abeloth besides Eva Green! She clicks ALL the boxes for said role way too well! 🤣🤣🤣

[@denningfamily2145]

In the latest episode of Ahsoka, Baylan tells Shin Hati that she was "trained to be so much more" than Jedi. Could it be that he has been preparing her to be Abeloth's next host/avatar? That would make sense to me!

[@mrconfusion87]

She can be the first form avatar but she won't be the last for certain!

[@myatheplaysgames]

The runes or glyphs on the castle were apparently also Zeffo glyphs. But here we can assume that the zeffo were corrupted over time into the dark side by Abeloth, which is somewhere on Peridia... 🤔

[@matthewgreen5961]

Oooooo, I love this theory. Hopefully Disney can be a little more creative then they have been and come up with something like this. Love this video. This is the first video I’ve watched of yours and you already have me intrigued.

[@coltonmason8290]

I absolutely love this theory! And it would be crazy if Abiloth was the one who created the Dathomir witches. It would explain their Magick. I seriously hope this is where it's going and it adds such a great galactic threat to the mix on top of Thrawn

[@SavageRicktator]

The prospect of Abeloth returning to Star Wars is absolutely bonkers. Perhaps Baylan has journeyed to Peridea with the purpose of locating a formidable being from Star Wars Legends, who represents the most dangerous dark side adversary the Jedi have ever encountered. Since we already know Baylan is familiar with the legends of Peridea and firmly believes, that he can alter the destiny of the galaxies through this mission

[@24hourTech]

If Filoni cooks this up and brings Abeloth in as the big bad, he will be able to set Thrawn up as an reluctant ally to the New Republic to defeat their common enemy, which would be the only reason I could think of that Thrawn's tactical abilities wouldn't have easily overwhelmed the fledgling New Republic's vast incompetence. He might end up sacrificing himself in the end to destroy Abeloth, which would explain the New Republic's survival into the sequel trilogy and Thrawn's absence.

[@mrconfusion87]

​​@@24hourTechSounds pretty good! Though we all know Abeloth never truly stays dead dead! She will recover and reappear when the Force gets distorted again!

[@jace3848]

Be wild if we get Ray Stevenson's baylon in bad batch season 3? See how he met shin? Surprise for fans if he did record dialogue for the final season? Hope bad batch get frozen in Carbonite. To be awakened in their prime age in time to aid our heroes in the defeat of thrawn and or abeloth? In the filoni movie?

[@Pharoyar]

GREAT. Lord Baylan Skolls wants to seek the beginning... Like many holly books say "In the beginning", I think that Skolls wants to find the "beginning" where there was VOID or DARKNESS so that he can "stop it all" from happening again. Maybe he want's to terminate who ever is left on that shrine where Anakin killed the Father and the Son, and where the Daughter was killed too. After that, I don't think he gave it much of a thought about afterwards.

[@darthtrajk666]

It would be awesome if this episode opens up all of this. All of these races from the Unknown Regions and other galaxies. Especially the Vong!

[@jimokane9891]

When Baylan first said something was calling to him, Abeloth was the first thing I thought of and while that would be a good story to explore I think it would be wrong for her to be introduced into this time period. This is Thrawns moment, he cannot be upstaged by Abeloth. So if Baylan and Shin end up awakening Abeloth it has to be with the Caveat that she remains trapped on Peridea for now at least. Maybe this could be explored post Rise of Skywalker instead with her returning to the known galaxy then. Abeloths introduction to Disney canon also offers the possibility of Darth Krayt finally appearing and that would be amazing as well as he is one of the key figures in her final defeat. But as I said Grand Admiral Thrawn has to be the main threat for the near future up until the Rise of the First Order at any rate. Thrawns absence from the First Order unfortunately means he may be killed in Dave Filonis movie but who knows. One interesting thing to consider is if the Chimaera leaves on the eye of Scion and Ezra, Sabine and the imminently arriving Ahsoka are left behind how will they get back to the galaxy. Could the next series of Ahsoka have them stuck in this new galaxy while Thrawn wages war back in the known galaxy. Another interesting thing which you did note is the possibility of Shin being possessed or taken over by Abeloth. Abeloth is obsessed I believe with physical beauty so it is likely taking over the body of someone like Shin would appeal to her. This would be a horrible end for a character I've really liked in this series along with her Master Baylan.

[@shazampowers9909]

We also have no idea what a possessed or consumed Shin would look like, it’s not like this stuff has to 100% be like legends. It’d be interesting to see the Shin that was on her way to redemption internally fighting the demon possessing her.

[@crisppringle711]

I agree that Thrawn needs to be built into his own threat first and deserves some time. In the earlier episodes they made it clear alot of imperials are a foundation of the new republic, they may leave ro join Thrawn. This could force the new republic to join with the reformed Mandalore and bridge the shows together. I think they need time to create a new order of Jedi based on balance before they could fight Abeloth. A sick finale could be her invading the cosmic realm with an army of twisted creatures/possed beings. Anakin, Luke and Ashoka could fight her while the new order jedi lead by Ezra, Sabine and Grogu fight off her forces to buy them time.

[@SoupSmith47]

Yeah, so remember when baylan told shin she was trained to be something greater? What if she is the sacrifical vessel for Abeloth? It was mentioned in the video that Abeloth lures force users in to take over thier mind and body so yk, maybe there is a possibility

[@sky.island]

it's cool how they're saying all the new stuff are from old Jedi stories and fairytales... you can even say that they're "Legends" 👀

[@hyggeravn6325]

Super dope video Josh! So much nicer when you speculate and theorise about star wars than complain about it!

I have been thinking of this and I believe you are on to something. If they do not go this route, Disney will miss out on something.

[@keplerthe3399]

If Luke is included in this story, considering what happens to him in the future, what if something did happen to him when facing Abeloth. He left because he was afraid of his own power, of what he could do if he gave in to the dark side. I think something as powerful as Abeloth could push Luke over the edge. And like the son showing Anakin visions of Vader, maybe she might show Luke visions, what he could be capable of at his full potential. We could end up seeing a corrupted Luke facing Ahsoka,

[@mrconfusion87]

Abeloth pushing Luke into seclusion makes way more sense than what was shown in the official "Sequel Trilogy" tbh! 🤣🤣🤣

[@DarthSpock9940]

What if Shin Hati is Abaloth, and is actually manipulating everyone around her.

[@epiclight858]

When would this have happened?? I could get this though given Shin's blank looks that shes.. different

[@alexdeghost2729]

No

[@mrconfusion87]

Some fans literally swear Shin Hati looks like her! 🤣🤣🤣

[@modyssey22]

Was Shin trained to be a new vessel for Abeloth? Is this why Baylan hasn’t told her everything about his plans or what it is that’s calling him? Will Abeloth thank him for this new body by destroying him? Is this why Ivanna Sakhno said we would feel sympathy for her character? 🤔

[@Ben_Kenobi_77]

you pulled that from my Brain. :D. I was thinking those same thoughts you were. I had watched a bunch of reactions to Episode 6 of Ahsoka and started thinking about what could be a destructive force that is "the Beginning" that Baylan could be referencing. Abeloth is what I came up with too. that is so cool. I am excited for the next two episodes.

[@Vagueperson]

There isn't enough time in two episodes to establish all of the background to understand this. Even introducing Mortis Gods would require a ton of time, let alone a brand new character.

[@michaelharig6506]

Nope…Baylan is probably looking for the nomad Zeffonians and the knowledge of the Sages and it’s probably in their Temples on Peridea that the NightSisters co-opted and which probably houses the Throne of Balance upon which he would gain such power to bring peace

[@brentbarrett5320]

Grogu activating the temple on Tython sent a signal to both Luke and gave enough power, or was a signal, for the being to call out from Peridia.

[@captainamerica9725]

If we see full power force god Anakin vs Abeloth, it would be beyond epic

[@lemmuhj]

I love how im a casual and find this info overwhelming! Sounds incredible!

[@frex99real]

Love this theory and everything you explain except one thing. I would be very shocked and disappointed if Baylan was willing to use Shin as a host for Abeloth. Baylan and Shin, IMO, seem so close that Baylan would be willing to forget about this new power (Abeloth), if Shin was not font of it. But to give you another argument for why Shin be a host for Abeloth (even though I would not like it), is that Baylan explains to Shin that he trained her to be more than just a Jedi - he trained her to be the host for the most powerful being to ever live?

[@loveoffilm4327]

They don't seem close at all considering they are master and apprentice. Baylan never even told her about his jedi days or fall of jedi until this episode.

[@up_north_anon]

I think Anakin is behind all of this.

[@11531337]

Given Baylan's actor sadly passing away, they might have to switch to Shin getting possessed by Abeloth. She looks the part already.

[@BluhmGardens]

I still don't like the idea of Abeloth, because it doesn't make sense to add her in 30 years ahead in the timeline. But, I really do like the idea of the Pool and Font being located on Peridea. It fits Ahsoka's arc as the Daughter bathed in the Pool to transform into a One, and it would be beyond awesome if Ray Stevenson was immortalized as the new Son by Baylan drinking from the Font. I don't actually think we'll get that, my gut still says the "power" is Zeffo related and will tie into the "Dawn of the Jedi" movie. The fact that there are Zeffonian hieroglyphs on the Nightsister Temple is more evidence of it being the Zeffo than there is evidence of it being Abeloth.

[@josephhetzenauer1890]

If they do introduce it they will do it in a way that makes sense. He introduced the ones with George Lucas when making those episodes, George even had to be reared back because he was going to go even more intense with the ones. Im sure if he introduces abeloth he probably talked to George about her and has a good plan incorporate her story.

[@BluhmGardens]

@@josephhetzenauer1890 the best thing to remember when talking about Dave is that he is adamant about NOT adding Legends material unless it builds upon the current and overall story he's trying to tell. Yes, he does add small easter eggs from time to time, but how does Abeloth build on the "Heir to the Empire" story, or the "Dawn of the Jedi" movie that's getting made? We know that the Zeffo are already the canon replacement for either the Kwa or the Celestials. Either way it is canon that they are the one's who first discovered how to use the Force, and then left the main Galaxy after unleashing the first Light/Dark cycle war upon it. We also know there is a Zeffo Temple on Dathomir, which ties them to the Nightsisters already. Then we see the same Zeffonian hieroglyphs along with Dave's version of Ur-Kittat on the Nightsister Temple. Could Dave be adding other aspects of Legends material to spice it up a bit? Sure. But THRAWN is the main antagonist of the series and most likely Dave's movie. What benefit does adding in an even more powerful and Galaxy-threatening antagonist into the mix at this time other than him? Btw, I don't think the Nightsisters are running from anything. It makes more sense that they just want to repopulate Dathomir.

[@josephhetzenauer1890]

@@BluhmGardens yeah I didn't mean for sure gonna be abeloth I think that's unlikely. But even tho Dave said that. He pulled straight legends material in the son sister and father out of it. He pulls out of legends constantly. What he doesn't do it pull stories from legends. The closest thing is thrawns and the name hero to the empire. Though the story will be nowhere near the same. So he could pull abeloth very likely at some point maybe at the end of thrawns movie who knows. But he definetly pulls from legends alot.

[@BluhmGardens]

@@josephhetzenauer1890 Like I said, it would be awesome if he brought in the Pool and Font being located on Peridea, and MAYBE hint at Abeloth. But timeline-wise it'd be better to tell that story after the Sequel Trilogy since it originally occurs in 40 ABY.
