Ahsoka - SPOILERS

[pukunui]

Nay - or, at least, I REALLY hope not.

What happened to Ezra Bridger is a real unanswered question that Ahsoka is poised to finally answer. It would really depress me if that's the answer they chose to go with.

Agreed. I think it would be a bit ridiculous to have Ezra go with Thrawn to a different galaxy only to come back to the GFFA and join the Inquisitorius, having fallen to the dark side somewhere along the way. I'd be fine with him 'falling' to some extent having spent so long away from his friends, but I'd prefer to see him as a 'third-party' bad guy like Baylan or even cyborg Maul, not a full-on cog in the Imperial machine. And I'd expect his friends to find him still in that other galaxy, perhaps working with or still striving against Thrawn.

And yet there's a lot of chatter out there on the internet that Marrok must be Ezra.

 

[Enevhar Aldarion]

So former Imperial inquisitor Marrok ... do we reckon he is Ezra Bridger? Yea or nay?

No, Ezra is stuck in the other galaxy with Thrawn. One theory I saw online is that Marrok is Barriss Offee. Yes, the stunt person credited in the show is male, but that does not have to matter.

I feel like Marrok is too tall to be Barriss, but it would be nice to give Ahsoka and Barriss some closure. And since Barriss was thrown in jail before the end of the Clone Wars, it's possible she survived Order 66 and became an inquisitor.

I might have to leave the thread. Which is fine

 

[Rabulias]

I believe Ahsoka is the first D+ show to use one?

Since Disney took over, I don't think any of the other Star Wars movies or TV shows have had an opening crawl; just the 9 core films of the saga.

What happened to Ezra Bridger is a real unanswered question that Ahsoka is poised to finally answer. It would really depress me if that's the answer they chose to go with.

Agreed. If he somehow was turned by Thrawn, then he somehow got back to the Star Wars galaxy, but did not bring Thrawn with him? That does not track. If he somehow found his way back without being turned, wouldn't he first try to get to Lothal and contact his friends? Was he caught and brainwashed into serving the Empire? Seems a stretch. Who would be watching for him? Who would know his significance? I guess a Nightsister (like Elsbeth) might have foreseen his arrival and his role in Thrawn's exile, but that is some heavy lifting IMO.

 

[Hussar]

Hmm, doesn't that give us a large part of the original Star Wars movie? Sneak onto the Death Star to rescue the princess? Maybe that would work as a dark side analogue, but that feels too meta to me.

Heh, when you think about it, the Alliance bringing in the ship is almost identical to bringing in the Falcon. After all, the Falcon could easily have been a bomb.

So it’s not unprecedented.

 

[Zardnaar]

I can see Ezra going dark side. Bit silly if he is Marrok though imho.

 

[Zardnaar]

Yes, and one of the reasons we give our fictional heroes happy endings is because we so seldom get them in real life.

@billd91 and yes, the lack of a happy ending for the OT heroes was a common complaint about the old EU as well. At least the EU gave the New Republic a century to fall apart instead of only three decades or so.

New Republic lasted around 3 decades in the old EU. They were useless there as well.

Heroes of Yavin didnt get the hapy ever after story as such but they had kids, weren't killed off and had a mix of happy moments and death of loved ones.

I thought it managed to last in some form until close to the Legacy Era, which was about 100 years later. Same with the New Jedi Order. Disney's Sequel Trilogy felt a bit like they'd cut out all the stuff with the Vong and brought the Legacy Era (with the return of the Sith / second destruction of the Jedi plus the discovery of Force healing and whatnot) forward 70-odd years.

Think it fell in the Vong war and reconstituted as some sort of galactic federation.

Empire kinda became a constitutional monarchy for 100 odd years until Sith returned in Legacy era.

Thrawns nemesis in New canon are the Grysk. Look similar to Vong with some sort of mind influencing ability. 3 can control a country 100 a planet. They're not extra galactic in origin afaik. They're not Biotech religious fanatics.
