re: Ahsoka Season 1 Episode 8 Discussion Thread

Baylan lives…I wonder how they plan on handling that. Aggravated that they just dropped that storyline for another season/movie, especially since the actor passed away.

Once again another character goes from no talent to displaying impressive force powers.

Man there’s so much story left to be told here.

Where Baylen was standing was a statue of the Father and the son, and looks like the daughter was destroyed/missing.
Looks like the father statue is pointing towards that mountain that appears to have a beam of light coming out of it.

The Father/son/daughter has no known origin. I think they are pretty much saying they came from Peridea, where the forces origin also lies.

I don’t know how they’ll handle Balyen with Ray Stevenson dying, but they should probably just recast him if he’s going to have this importance. Don’t change the story they were going to tell b/c he died.

So Ahsoka is never leaving this galaxy, right? Sabine will somehow

Not bad, but not a great finale. I assume they’re planning a season 2 with that many loose ends…..Shin, Baylon, Ahsoka and Sabine, witches arriving to Dathomir

The light saber choregraphy was pretty meh for everything but the Ahsoka vs Morgan fight.

And how does Sabine go from having never exhibited any significant force ability and struggling to force grab her light saber from 10’ away to suddenly being able to force throw Ezra onto the ship from a fairly considerable distance away 2 minutes later?

Yes the owl was there, which was cool to see, as well as ghost Anakin, which both had to be pretty telling.

I don’t think Ahsoka is leaving that planet, at least not as living Ahsoka. I think it’s pretty obvious she will join Anakin as the Daughter.
I think Baylen is there to destroy Anakin or whatever he thinks is the origin of the force, not to join Anakin as the the son. At least that’s what he thinks he’s there for. Maybe he will become the son.

Would have been nice to hear somebody tell her to "use the force" in her head.

You definitely have to have watched Clone Wars to fully understand the later parts of this episode.

Yeah, was wondering that myself. Do they drop it? Recast? Do the deep fake thing like they've done with Luke and Tarkin?

Also, what do we think Thrawn's cargo was? Could it have been a bunch of old, dead Nightsisters he brought back to be resurrected? I wouldn't have guessed that until they mentioned that Thrawn awakened the 3 mothers.

Maybe it was the same way Luke went from never knowing a god damn thing about the force to spending an afternoon with obi-wan with the littlest of training to trusting the force to help him guide the proton torpedoes using only the force to blow up the Death Star.


Enjoy being miserable about a good show and Star Wars story.

Not sure what the Anakin was about in the end.

Yeah... at first I thought it was just a reveal that he wasn't just some kind of projection or vision for Ahsoka in those flashbacks, that he was actually a force ghost that has shown up to guide Ahoska (or even Sabine) but then I realized we've known he was a force ghost since ROTJ so I'm not sure what the reveal is either other than may be we can expect him to make appearances in future seasons/movies.
