The mandalorian [Spoilers]

[cbwjm]

Yes! I saw that and thought the same thing.

I saw that and thought of the family guy star wars special with the guy going "pew, pew, gotcha!"

 

[Levistus's_Leviathan]

Anyone else like the "Laser Sword" reference?

 

[MarkB]

I wonder whether they'll borrow any of the visuals from the Old Republic MMORPG for the temple on Typhon.

I'm stuck between that being Ashoka, or Rosario Dawson convincingly cosplaying as her.

Also, that Magistrate was able to go toe to toe with her for an extended period, and even disarm her of a lightsaber.

Impressive seeing by this point Ashoka is something like a Jedi 7/ Jedi Knight 3/ Force Adept 7 and has personally duelled both Maul (and won) and Vader (and given him a decent run for his money) and others.

I can only wrap my head canon around that if the Magistrate was Force sensitive herself (Noble 7/ Force Adept 7) with (Attune weapon, Primitive Block, Empower weapon etc) Maybe with limited Force training (which explains her lack of force powers) to only Battlestrike (2), Resist Force or other less flashy ones.

She could be a duelist and soldier levels.

Not sure if Ahsoka has Jedi knight levels. If she does she can't get any more.

She was expressly referred to as a Jedi Knight a number of times before being expelled, and was given her own missions away from Anakin. We know she constructed her own lightsaber pretty early on making her at least 5th level from that point onwards.

She didn't get very far into Knight though before leaving. A few levels at most.

From there into Force Adept. She seems to have learnt some Stealth stuff between when we last saw her and now.

You do also realize that Ahsoka was holding back because she needed that information from Elsbeth. And we did not see her death, so we know she is still alive to cause future trouble.

Who wants to bet that Ezra will be the "other Jedi" who comes looking for Baby Yoda via the temple of Tython? They've brought Ahsoka back and name-dropped Thrawn all in one hit. Who else could it be? Now all we need is Sabine ...

That said, I don't expect to see her this season. But hopefully sometime in a future season!

I expect the big finale for this season will be Mando + Bo-Katan + Ahsoka vs Moff Gideon. Maybe with Thrawn popping in at the end to show he's the real power behind Gideon.

So now I am wondering: how does Boba fit into all of this? We only get a brief glimpse of him in episode 1. I presume Mando still has Boba's armor on board the Razor Crest, although we haven't seen it (unless I just missed it). Has Boba followed Mando off world, or will Mando return to Tatooine, where Boba will confront him? Will Boba be working for Gideon? Or will Boba join forces against Gideon? Or something else?

So much to think about!



Also, did anyone else spot Morai in this episode? If not, have a look around 15:32. And if you don't know who Morai is, I suggest you (re)watch episodes 15-17 of season 3 of The Clone Wars and episode 13 of season 4 of Rebels.

 

[RangerWickett]

Best episode yet. And I haven't even seen the cartoons.

I've been looking for comments by people who hadn't seen any of the previous Ahsoka storyline. I'm curious if she comes across as feeling like fan service from another story, or if she felt like a natural component of this show.

 

[RangerWickett]

This does raise the question of what Ahsoka was up to during the rebellion. Like, how long was she sidelined after the climax of season 2 of Rebels? (Trying to avoid spoilers.)

Did she ever hear about a dude named Skywalker running around with a lightsaber saving the galaxy? You'd think she's pop in to see what's up with him and be all, yo, sorry you had to kill your dad, but do you want to learn about your mom? We hung out a few times.
