Yay! I'm glad to see
someone recovered Sabine's helmet.
It was fun seeing Clone Wars-era Ahsoka in live action! Did anyone catch who played her? (I'd love to see more live action Clone Wars.)
She finally remembered she has two lightsabers!
Disappointing we got no mention of Mortis or the Daughter. It's clear Filoni hasn't forgotten, since he included cameos of Morai in both
Rebels and
The Mandalorian. It would've been nice if Ahsoka had seen Morai flying overhead when she first woke up in the World Between Worlds even ... after all, it was Morai who led Ezra to the right portal to rescue Ahsoka when he first discovered the World Between Worlds. Ah well ...
Let's hope we see both Thrawn and Ezra next episode.
Live action Chopper has been criminally under-used so far in this series. I suppose there's a limit to how much craziness you can get a droid to do in live action vs animation but still ...
Live or die wasn’t Ahsoka. It was Anakin. Would she kill Anakin? Or would she accept and learn from the past?
After all, she could have killed Anakin/Vader the first time around and saved how many lives? She could have stayed with Anakin and maybe stopped him.
This is all about the huge amount of survivors guilt Ahsoka is suffering from.
Is she just a killer? Or is she more?
Live or die never meant her.
Hmm. Interesting food for thought. I have to admit I was a bit stumped as to the point of that whole sequence, but you might be right.
It seems that both Ahsoka and Sabine are carrying a lot of guilt and trauma.
Now that some of it has sunk it, it was painful to watch the young Ahsoka being part of the Siege of Mandalore and cutting them all down. I don't know how much of this was shown previously in Clone Wars, but if this were general knowledge, I don't see how Sabine could ever be her friend or how Din could ever work with her or even be around her.
I take it you haven't watched those episodes of the Clone Wars? The Siege of Mandalore was where the Republic and the free Mandalorians under Bo-Katan fought to liberate the planet from Maul* and his loyalists, many of whom were from Clan Saxon (and later became the planet's Imperial puppet masters). So the Mandalorians you saw Ahsoka killing were Maul's troops (you can tell because of the Zabrak horns on their helmets).
Given that Sabine later fought a member of Clan Saxon herself, I doubt she'd take issue with Ahsoka's actions at the end of the Clone Wars. Nor would Din.
*Maul took over Mandalore and turned it into the center of his criminal empire after killing both Pre Vizsla (Bo-Katan's former boss) and Duchess Satine Kryze (Bo-Katan's sister).
