Ahsoka - SPOILERS

[Paul Farquhar]

If it looks like a jedi, smells like a dark jedi it's probably......

Shins close enough for me . She's intriguing idk if I want her to go full dark or redemption arc.

Baylan said to Shin "I trained you to be - something else".

One review I read implied that Shin has a thing for Sabine. I don't really see it myself, but that might explain why Sabine got off easy with the lightsaber impale. Maybe Shin was only aiming to disable her rather than kill her.

Also, another review suggested that the bits of gold and red bands on Thrawn's 'Night troopers' are Japanese stylings symbolizing that they're undead. I mean, Captain Enoch even has a gold death mask (reminds me of the Returned from Theros).

Also, I thought it was interesting that the Fates Great Mothers* singled out Sabine as a Jedi but didn't mention Baylan and Shin. I guess they could sense that Sabine, despite having no control of the Force, is trying to be a Jedi, whereas Baylan, despite being raised at the temple, no longer considers himself one and isn't training Shin to be one (despite her having a padawan braid).


*Did anyone else note that the three Great Mothers are named Klothow, Aktropaw, and Lakesis? ... Sound familiar?

Wasn't that the name of the Cylon leaders in the Battlestar Galactica: Deadlock game?

More seriously, alluding to Clothos, Atropos and Lachesis, the Moirai (Greek goddesses of fate).

We don't know any of this.

The prophesy could have been false; it could have been wrong "always changing the future is"; it could have been intended as a metaphor "e.g. and that chosen one is - us"; it could have been made up by a Sith infiltrator in order to bring down the Jedi "It's a trap!".

We know nothing of the prophesy's province: we don't know the exact wording (what will happen if the chosen one doesn't bring balance to the Force? What happens if they are not trained as a Jedi?); we don't know who made it; we don't know when it was made; we don't know the circumstances under which it was made.

That's a perfectly valid interpretation. It's also possible that it's all true, that Yoda and Qui Gon both saw the future, took the guidance differently, and thus came to different conclusions. Which is why I limited my objection specifically to this:

Qui-Gon believes he is being guided by the Force to train Anakin. Yoda believes he is being guided by the for to refuse to train Anakin. Ergo at least one of them is not guided by the Force.

Hell, it's even possible that the prophecy required that Anakin's training be flawed, and so Yoda was willfully guided into making what seemed to be a mistake.

(And, no, that's not how I would interpret it all. All I'm saying is that it's possible.)

Has anyone seen or heard anything about maybe getting both episodes 7 and 8 next week? I wonder because Loki season 2 starts with two episodes on Oct 5 at 9pm, but that would be the airtime for episode 8 of Ahsoka, if we only get episode 7 next week. Or does Ahsoka have a weird 7-episode season?

Wouldn't Oct 4th be the air date for Ahsoka episode 8? 5th is Thursday.

Hm, maybe? I am just so used to the shows from Marvel and Star Wars debuting on Wednesday after midnight (now Tuesday nights), that my brain just automatically said those are both on the same day, at the same time, and that couldn't be right. Now I wonder if only the Loki season debut will be Thursday night the first week and shift to Tuesday night for the rest of the episodes.

Foreshadowing? Baylan was riding a black wolf, Shin a white wold. Their names are from Norse mythology. They're wolves chasing the sun and moon apparently.

Throw in Thrawns indifference or annoyance he didn't kill Ahsoka.....

Shin may be his daughter? Dark fate for Baylan redemption for her? She's had Jedi training even if Baylan won't admit it.

Have the novels ruled out the possibility that this is the origin of the appellation "The First Order" ? Here we are in another galaxy talking about stories of the Force traditions origins in yesteryear. These Nightsisters from another galaxy seem to still give a damn about the Jedi too. Maybe Thrawn's dudes are hyped up on the ancient history of Team Bad Guy. And maybe those coffins end up having something to do with an making sense of Palpatine's dead Sith observers.

Shin may be whose daughter? Baylan's? It's possible, although she behaves more like a pet than a child. (She sometimes looks at him like she's expecting him to say, "Who's been a good dog then?")

I also read some speculation online that she could be a clone of Luke Skywalker (as a canon replacement for Luuke, with Baylan taking C'baoth's place). I have my doubts.

That's already been established. It's called the 'First Order' because it was the first part of Palpatine's post-death contingency plan, whereas the secret fleet on Exogol is the 'Final Order' because it's the last part of the plan.

Yes. First Order has already been been established 5-6 years earlier.

The may be involved somehow or will be once Thrawn gets back.

One of the Imperial Remnants is also First Order. So Disney would have to really drop the ball to pull that off.

Soft recon might reveal the First Order is the last Imperial Remnant left after this storyline concludes as Snoke is siphoning resources from the remnants or whatever eg making sure they fail.
