This episode brought my favorite of the bad faith Star Wars complaints (and that’s doing them the favor of assuming they were actually paying attention), acting like this other galaxy was supposed to be a whole What If style alternate universe.

Ahsoka: “On second thought, tell me one of those stories. Your choice.” Huyang: “Very well, then. Did you ever hear the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?” Ahsoka: “Get out.” Huyang: “Would you prefer the Story of Darth Vectivus the Boring?” Ahsoka: “OUT!!”

“And there’s this really weird one about people called the Yuuzhang Vong, but no one really cares about it anymore.”

I was happy they cast Lars Mikkelsen to play Thrawn in live action. Literally the Rebels animated version of him come to life. Galen Erso and Thrawn played by real life brothers on screen. If you're ever interested in learning Thrawn's origin story, there is a fully narrated video on YouTube of the comic adaptation of the 2017 canon Thrawn novel. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bG8boJZ9j4

Ah, the Yuuzhang Vong. Now THERE is a familiar name. They could still be brought into the new canon, maybe introduced in the upcoming Rey-centric movie. My brother and I would be HYPED if that happens. And if it ends up not happening, well, we will always have the books.

Cooler still, you have in the same year, Mads playing a fantastic villain in Indiana Jones, whilst Lars kills it as Thrawn in Ahsoka. Jürgen Voller and Grand Admiral Thrawn, brothers being amazing villains, it was awesome.

Also, a shout out to the legendary John Williams for breaking his own record again for being the oldest Oscar nominee with his being nominated for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, making it the fifty-fourth nomination that John has received over his long and illustrious career.

He also has the record for the longest spread of nominations, his first being for Valley of the Dolls in 1968. That's at least one for seven decades in a row.

This on top of his record of being the most nominated living individual, and second to only Walt Disney himself for being the most nominated individual in Oscar history.

I literally cried when I saw Ezra too, I had been waiting over 5 years to see that dude again! 😭 and seeing Sabine be the one to find him made it hit harder 🧡

This is a fun show, that Filoni is asking questions with and adding to the lore of the Nightsisters and part of the force itself. Its great to see how invested you got with it Jess! Love the shot at the start with the Purgil's version of hyperspace with all the light beams circling them. It looks like a shot from Rebels itself, which makes me happy! :D I like Huyang sticking up for Sabine in the opening scene. When she's there, he'll happily diss her, but when she's not there to defend herself, he backs that she made the right choice for her. Its a selfish choice and not a Jedi one and could endanger everybody if war comes; but its a choice she was always going to make, as Ezra is family. Huyang uttering the famous line "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" kind of hints at even in their universe, that line spoke of old stories, fables and fantasy. The original draft for Star Wars was going to be told through the Journal Of The Whills, who were kind of like historians who relayed the events we see in all the media, as tales out of the Journals. And in fact originally, R2-D2 was to be a Keeper Of The Whills who helped tell us the story of the original trilogy from his point of view. Nice echo back to all that. Something new for us about the Dathomiri coming from Peridea, outside of the galaxy; I'm not right up on all the legends stuff so don't know if Peridea or the Dathomiri witches hailing from elsewhere other than Dathomir, has been mentioned before. It makes a bit more sense though as the men on Dathomir are Zabraks who hail from Iridonia originally and perhaps settled on Dathomir before the witches came there. Morgan mentions they used to harness the Star-Whales, whilst in Legends it was rancors they used to use as mounts - so they have upgraded! All cool stuff. The Dathomir witch mothers are terrifying, and they used the witch voice that Mother Talzin had, which is amazing! I can't believe I didn't recognise that the Great Mother is Claudia Black though when first watching, who is a sci-fi legend of her own, appearing in Farscape and Stargate back in the day; and someone I had a bit of a crush on 20 years back! I don't think cuffs would suffice to hold a Jedi if they wanted to escape, so I can see why the witches put these red ball laser things to hold her further in case she used the force to get out. What Baylan now seeks is very intruiging and if anything sounds more dangerous than the return of Thrawn. That scene where he speaks about the rise and fall of things throughout the aeons, is true and it would be great to put a stop to it all; however I'm unsure that what he seeks will bring around any comfort to the masses. We can see his relationship with Shin is akin to a Jedi Master and Padawan, just in a different way, though the way they act is very different from what Kanan and Ezra had for example. Finally we see our antagonist coming, the legend that is Grand Admiral Thrawn! We've seen many variants of stormtroopers over the years, but these are absolutely terrifying, and the Captain of them, Enoch is the stuff of nightmares, with his gold Greek mask welded into his helmet. The troopers have had to live rough this last decade, hence the red wrappings and gold holding their armour together. In that time they have upped their devotion to their god, Thrawn who is ready to become Heir To The Empire! Goosebumps all round with that scene, and Kevin Kiner doing a variation on his Thrawn Theme which only adds anticipation and dread. What an introduction to our magnificent antagonist. Love Thrawns live look. I was never on board really with Lars Mikkelsen resuming the role from Rebels, even though he is a live actor like his brother Mads (who you probably have seen in many things including Hannibal and here in Star Wars as Galen Erso in Rogue One); but he did win me over. He brought the threat right from the off. We can see his imperial uniform is a bit worn and that he is older of course; but that doesn't make him less threatening at all. They kept elements of his high cheekbones from his Rebels look, and around his eyes it makes him appear otherworldly, like some blue demon rising from the dead; which is what his colleagues and enemies all thought him to be. Looking into those red eyes, we can still see the fire and determination is there and that the galaxy will know his name on his return, especially if he has been teaming up with Nightsisters, which as you say Jess, is a terrible thought. He was defeated in Rebels twice by the force, the first with Bendu, and the second with Ezra taking him all the way here. He won't make that mistake a third time, with having Nightsisters as his allies. Filoni had to find a way of bringing in some sort of wolf didn't he! :D He seems a good boy though, even if he is a coward! The turtle-crab things are adorable, though you could see our doggie friend has dinner on his mind! The one turtle guy Sabine finds, happens to have a rebel alliance logo on his neck! The force does work in mysterious ways I guess! :P Again Baylan speaking about finding some other power that even the Nightsisters are afraid of. When I first knew that they were going to another galaxy to find Thrawn, it stirred something that I remember from Legends about another enemy from there that makes its way to the Star Wars galaxy and causes utter devastation, even moreso than the Empire. I don't know if Filoni will do this, but he has opened the door for it if he wants to go down that storyline. And then we find Ezra! The hug complete with Ezra's Theme was too much! I know Ezra can be hit or miss with some in the fanbase, but I've always liked that fun goofy Jedi, he has a heart of gold and will be a great ally for us in the battle to come; and the casting for him with Eman Esfandri, is perfection.

Yeah I was wondering if this is where they were going with Baylan here - and it still might be - though with the ending of episode 8, it seems like another familiar legends antagonist might be on their way; something equally as devastating.

Saltire

Mads is so damn cool, its a shame he was kind of wasted in Rogue One, when he could have been an ongoing character throughout the series.

Saltire
>>127738414

I hope he still has the energy to compose for the Rey film coming up, or the other one about the Dawn Of The Jedi. Fingers crossed. If not, just get Kevin Kiner and his family to do it, as they are the true heirs to the Williams Star Wars empire!

The investment Jess had in this show was great. Same here with loving Huyang stick up for Sabine. Especially concerning the choice that she made. It recalled how Jess discussed the season one finale of The Last of Us where it concerned the choices that Joel made were the only choices he would make. Whether said choices were ultimately right or wrong is a separate matter that I’ve seen the internet go a few rounds with. The Journal of the Whills thing is kept up some in the From a Certain Point of View books. I highly recommend them if you haven’t read them. Loved everything about the Great Mothers and the tie-ins to the old continuities. This more or less served as my brother’s introduction to Nightsisters. He loved them. Certainly, Baylan believes what he seeks will be the solution, and Ray plays the scenes where you see the tiniest shred of fear and uncertainty that he could conceivably destroy the galaxy, yet he’s willing to take the chance. The Nighttroopers were great; Enoch was intriguing. Immense joy was had, seeing Lars embody Thrawn. He looked perfect. I can understand your apprehension. In fairness, I don’t think I’ve seen Lars in anything other than Thrawn. Mads I’ve seen many times, not Lars though. His work exceeded all expectations. If I have the math right, Thrawn’s around seventy at this point. The door is open for Baylan to have been after one or two things from the old canon. I knew Ezra’s big scene would get you. Earliest episodes notwithstanding, I’ve never heard much negative opinion of Ezra; he seems warmly embraced across the board. He is great in my book.

Given how John said he very much enjoyed composing for Rey, and her theme is beautiful, I could see him wanting to score the upcoming film. Him scoring Dawn of the Jedi would be grand. If not John, then yes, Kevin Kiner would be fantastic.

Saltire

Yeah Rey's Theme and his Jedi themes in the sequels, are superb.

Saltire

You know I have Jess's reactions to The Last Of Us there, and seen all of them apart from the finale, and despite watching the series again multiple times, I've never finished Jess's watchthrough! I should get on that, especially now I'm resubbed here. And I agree with you, Joel makes the only choice he thinks is right in that moment to save Ellie, even if it means letting the whole world burn. Sabine does here too and for the same reason, though she is also pushed into making that decision with her thinking Ahsoka is dead and she has a powerful force-user speaking to her. But she was always going to choose Ezra, and I don't blame her one bit for doing so, even if the cost of that decision, will bring war. Lars is in The Witcher, playing a wizard and I believe Jess has reacted to that. He also played a greasy villain superbly in Sherlock; but yes Mads is the cool brother and bigger star.
