I know they're supposed to grow taller as that species ages, but I still hoped they'd go short horns. And obviously they did, and I bet it's for the same reason I was hoping they would--she just looks better that way. I agree, I wasn't a fan of her Rebels look. The animation style of the series in general just went for the taller/thinner/lankier aesthetic for many of the characters. I mean, Sabine looks like a twig in the series.

fantastic_four Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 There's a deleted scene from Revenge of the Sith where General Grievous kills a Togruta (that's Ahsoka's species) Jedi where she had the long montrals of an older member of her species. I like the idea of them growing, but aesthetically I just don't like the long horn look one bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentbryan Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Super cool to have a Michael Biehn cameo, I didn’t even realize it was him at first. Another great episode, Team Mando continues to knock it out of the park! media_junkie, I like pie and Bosco685 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree. It is funny, though, how after TFA everybody hailed Abrams saving Star Wars from the prequels. But, Episodes 1-3 have aged so well and look far superior to Eps 7-9 now.

This I absolutely agree with. As much as I liked Last Jedi over JJ's parts, the sequel trilogy shows us how unappreciated episodes 1-3 was.

Buzzetta Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Little bit of bragging tonight... just posted this Baby Yoda meme on my instagram as I was watching the last night of the Trey Anastasio (Phish) show at the Beacon. They are performing live in an empty theater and broadcasting it. It fit... my mouth dropped as I had dropped a comment in the show's chat.

Leia using the force to float back to the ship after being jettisoned into space? Filoni did that first with Kanan in an episode of Rebels. Kanan wasn't even a full Jedi. While there are definitely some flaws, there are so many more cues that Johnson got right that JJ flat out ignored but it's popular to hate on TLJ... it's cool. "Ya'll should do ya homework first." (And I mean that to everyone.) I agree with this and if you look far enough back at the TLJ thread, I was defending Johnson, but I get the hate. I think if Johnson had done Eps. 7-9 we would have been left with a much better product. He is well versed in Star Wars lore, but unfortunately, trying to shoehorn it all into one movie without proper context or background did not work out well. To think, it probably would have been Ahsoka who took Rey to Jakku after sensing the vulnerability of her falling to the dark side. But instead we get the WTF soup of WTF that is of Rise of Skywalker. Edited November 28, 2020 by awakeintheashes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right, but I’m thinking after Obi-Wan and Yoda have both died and trained the son of her former master. The connection shared between those four is that loose thread on a t-shirt I keep pulling at. I know she had her vision in Clone Wars of Anakin turning to the dark side, and I believe she communicated with Qui-Gon (I could be wrong on that part...need to rewatch). She’s in tune - so her knowledge of Luke has to be more than, “Hey it’s that guy who helped end the empire”...right?

There was something very interesting about Rise of Skywalker. First of all the jedi scene where all of the dead jedi offer emotional support during the final battle was one of the best parts of the movie. We know Ahsoka must be dead by that point. However there was one Jedi that was noticeably absent from that seen that was written by Colin Treverrow in his version that JJ lifted. Ezra. I think Ezra is going to be key. Now, I say that not to pimp the books that I bought but I believe in it strongly which is why I bought the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be as mundane as a drink at a bar to say, “so you’re the famous Ahsoka Tano.” I just need something, Filoni. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a lot of hints in Rebels that he was connected to Sith. Can't wait to see where it goes. ExNihilo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cozmo-One Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Another great episode...we need more than 8 in a season! Interesting to learn more of Grogu's past, but wonder who saved him from the Jedi temple during the purge? Or was he already known by Sheev to be special and was immediately captured instead of killed? And maybe it was Grogu's DNA/blood/whatever with the high "M-count" used to help make clone Palpatine (or multiple Snokes) in Rise of the Jedi? Of course, that means he would have to be re-captured at some point, so lets not go there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephisto Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 17 hours ago, fantastic_four said: Completely amazing episode. LOVED the allusion to Grogu becoming like Anakin as a reason not to train him. That for me was one of the most 🤦♂️ 🙄 moments from the episode. Let’s try something a little more original than a Jedi Master being reluctant to train another. A tradition started in 1980, again in 1999, and again in 2017. 😴 Xenosmilus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they ever put the death of Ahsoka on screen, I'd need to take bereavement from work to recover. Spoiler I also remember Kanan's death. Just that day I had told my friend that Rebels wasn't as good as Clone Wars because there weren't any consequences. No major deaths. And then I watched that episode and I was decidedly not okay.
