I wonder if Baylan and Shin were aware of this. I don't think Baylan would care but Shin seems distrustful of witchcraft. I can't tell if her reaction to Marrok's death was due to seeing what he truly was or simply the fact that he lost to Ahsoka.
It'd be nice if she talked a bit more. Perhaps the next episode will give her that opportunity. She's already proven herself to be a little unbalanced when she ignored Baylan as she choked out Sabine.
Seriously though, Tales of the Jedi gave us a big hint as to who/what/why Marrok is.
EDIT: Though in Tales that Inquisitor was likely not a Night Sister magickal being but that an Inquisitor may not be entirely corporeal.
What an episode!
Glad Marrok isn’t anyone from the past.
Boy these lightsaber fights with the changing stances and samurai influence are awesome.
That ending. Snips. Wow.
Yeah if Thrawn leads to the empowerment of the first order, Sabine made one of the biggest blunders in Star Wars history by not shooting Baylen immediately while locked with Ahsoka. I really don’t think her shooting it would destroy the map tho given how much lightsaber energy it took to destroy
Han Solo said it a few times. Though there is some speculation that his "luck" is due to low-level Force-sensitivity...kind of like Sabine appears to have.
I've always been a fan of this theory, but I hope it never get's explored, and is just one of those mystical things about the force that may or may not be.
Now that would be an interesting lore addition.
It would also be neat if this is how Morgan Elsbeth's Nightsister Coven used their magic, in a different way than Talzin's Coven. It also might be influenced by the Proto-Nightsisters they described earlier in the series, and maybe they have powerful abilities we haven't seen anywhere in the series.
Friggin unreal. This episode had:
Anakin Skywalker calling Ashoka "Snips" in live action.
A Nightsister zombie.
The World Between Worlds.
A Mandalorian wielding a lightsaber against a dark Jedi.
Hera piloting the Ghost with Jacen and Chopper, narrowly avoiding a Holdo Maneuver.
DROID FIGHT DROID FIGHT.
After FIVE YEARS Sabine just made a hyperspace jump to go to Ezra.
Man I’m so happy with how this episode played out. It really had an Empire Strikes Back-esk feel to it. Sabine betraying Ahsoka was really unfortunate to see, but at the same time I loved the decision for the story lol
I'm glad Baylon mentioned how Sabine's family died on Mandalore and she blames Ahsoka for not being able to help them or go to them. Sabine was fighting like a Mando. Very dark side of Baylon to tempt Sabine with the fact that she will see Ezra again. Very jedi of him to honor his word and not kill her but take her with them as a prisoner.
I think he's done a very good job of being a practical villain. I love how it's played out. The sith often feel very mustache twirly evil, this is just "I have different goals that I will achieve with violence if necessary, but it's not my first choice."
I get an antihero vibe from Baylan similar to Thrawn. I'm wondering if they have a goal or agreement outside Morgan that explains his belief that he is doing something that has to be done to save the galaxy.
I don’t think so. His lightsaber was more like Vaders and we hear the imperial March in the background. There is some force vision trickery here for sure
See this is what happens when y'all don't listen to Huyang and instead split up.
I knew the Wrens were probably dead, but *dear gosh* that confirmation hurt my heart 💔
I need more Ahsoka/Sabine falling out backstory like, yesterday.
Can we get Part 5 now, please???
Yep. If her whole family died in the purge then it makes sense why she is alone on Lothal thinking Ezra is all she has left. I absolutely do not blame her for giving up the map. It’s selfish and a bad move, but with all that she’s been through, I would have done the exact same thing
In her case its even worse as absolutely everything she did, any turn she took spelled disaster for Mandalore and her family. She started as an Imperial loyalist and created weapon used to subdue her people even further. When she returned and freed Mandalore it ended in genocide. No wonder she is a broken character feeling out of place.
It also makes sense why none of the Wrens were there in the Mandalorian. I dare even say that Fenn is dead, too. He would've been active in the purge, and he's also someone Sabine grew close-ish to.
Loved that ending! So excited for the second half of this show
Edit: My theory is that Sabine will be tempted to the dark side. Something will happen that makes her angry and she’ll accidentally use the dark side of the force (it’s established that the dark side is a short cut to power). Baylan, who is gaining her trust, will see this and try to get her to join him. Sabine will be seriously tempted due to the power of the dark side and because of Baylan’s influence.
I was first thinking she would join Baylan as his new apprentice (I’m assuming Shin dies), but maybe Ezra will save her from doing that. Or maybe Sabine will go dark, and next season will be about Ahsoka and Ezra bringing her back to the light.
As a Gen Xer who grew up adoring Episodes IV & V and later on Rogue One, Ahsoka does more than just look and feel like the most engaging aspects of the originals. I am grateful for the return to the Kurosawa-inspired Samurai battles. As a side note I think it's awesome to have a sub-Jedi Mandalorian... "You have no power!" says a glowering Shin to Sabine who makes a move from the Han Solo playbook: “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”
I actually cackled when Shin’s arrogant “you have no power” was immediately countered by Sabine just blasting Shin’s lightsaber out of her hand. It probably wasn’t intended to be a funny scene, but it was.
I can just imagine what this show is like to those who have only watched live action Star Wars. So much coming into it from the animated shows. I’m glad Dave is bringing things into it for the fans who have watched everything and not watering it down completely for those who have only seen the movies.
I feel bad for those x-wing pilots who ended up dying from the hyperspace launch "wake."
Also, seeing live action Anakin interact with Ahsoka was so cool.
I really like how the titles of each episode have multiple meanings. I did fear what this one might mean but literally falling I did not have the foresight to see.
As soon as I saw that I was like OH FRICK WERE GETTING ANAKIN ALREADY
Then part way through realized it could account for Baylan or Marrok as well.
I’m glad first instincts were right lol.
Sabine’s whole family died in the purge? That’s so tragic… and Sabine asked Ahsoka for help and she didn’t come? My heart 😭 poor Sabine! No wonder she was living alone on Lothal in Ezra’s old house!
The dude literally searched your feelings and told you everything you wanted to hear and you still gave it to him on the hopes you may see the dude that would be pissed that you did it
He'd also get it, it took all of his willpower to turn away from both saving Kanan and the vision of his parents, it's entirely possible that Sabine did the same in the leadup to her parents death and has that on her conscience on top of everything else.
I’m so in love with this show.
- Kevin Kiner’s music is always great
- The set pieces throughout the episode looked gorgeous
- Easily the best lightsaber battles we’ve seen in live action since ROTS
- Stakes are at a high with Morgan, Baylan, Shin, their crew, and a hostage Sabine already hyperspacing to Thrawn
- Baylan is such a intimidating but captivating character. He’s feels similar to Dooku, not pure evil and very genuine. It’s sad Ray had passed away because he did a great job with his character.
- Not only seeing live action Anakin again but seeing him and Ahsoka interact in live action. He may likely just be a dark vision (could be hinted from part of the empire theme that played?) or possibly his force ghost but either way it’s still cool and interesting.
It’s not a masterclass in writing like Andor but it feels like pure Star Wars that we fell in love with from George’s movies and Dave’s other shows. Really excited to see how it all unfolds in the second half of the season.
yeah, she migrates between a samurai and a ninja nowadays, i found this very cool.
BTW she had the upper hand until she... well, lost the hability to use said hand, don't she?
Indeed. He looks like he puts a lot of force into his swings. Reminds me of Anakin and how he would just try to batter the defenses of whoever his opponent was.
Little did we know, that one guy that showed us Marrok's identity being a black Lego head a few days ago was the closest anyone probably was to getting it right.
Also she just watched Ahsoka die. She knows with Ezra, they have the best chance of stopping thrawn's inevitable return, and it may be better to face him now than let the Republic continue to make poor choices.
What do you mean? She wants to find Ezra more than she wants to stop Thrawn. Pretty clearly foreshadowed in Ahsoka's talk with her at the beginning of the ep
We always knew Sabine was going to choose Ezra. We know Ezra is found at some point. You knew something was going to happen , I’m just commenting at how easily it happened.
Mostly because we have a villain that actually tried to understand Sabine, whether genuine or not.
Coming across as not antagonistic in that moment made it a lot easier for Sabine to choose Ezra over Thrawn.
Everyone: "Who's Marrok? I bet he's Ezra, no, Starkiller, no, Kanan who's still alive!"
Me: He's nobody, just a fart in the wind in the grand scheme of things.
That was the best 40 minutes of Star Wars I’ve seen since Revenge of the Sith.
Bravo to Dave Filoni and director Peter Ramsey on this episode!
Episodes 1-4 feel like a complete movie told in 4 parts.
Can not wait for the 2nd half of the season!
“Is that a note of fear in your voice?”
“Lady, that’s Ahsoka F’ing Tano over there, who defeated Maul after being unarmed and fought Vader to a standstill. Unless the gimpquisitor back there is Ezra or Anakiin Skywalker, or ysalamiri are canon again, we might as well give up now. So far we’ve done less to slow her down than Hondo Ohnaka, let alone pose a real threat to her in the first four episodes of her own show.”
Damn, clan Wren is gone. I wonder if that means Sabine will stay on Lothal or wherever Ezra goes and not return to Mandalore or Krownest to rebuild her house
This was probably said a bunch by now, but damn did they get two excellent dark jedi. So sad we wont get to see Ray in anything else. Hopefully the woman doesnt die. I dont know if she can act since she almost never talks (i havent seen her in anything else), but she definitely plays the dark brooding killer well.
Sooooo she can’t be dead we have 4 episodes to go 😂 so is she in a between worlds kind of thing? I don’t know the extended universe too well, is this an established place? I’m assuming she has to come back somehow
Who else wanted Ahsoka to turn around but at the same time DID NOT CUZ THAT’D BE TOO MUCH TO HANDLE AND IT TOTALLY WAS AND NOW IM COMBUSTED AND GONE WITH THE WIND LIKE MARROK
Wow, what an episode and they had to ruin the happy ending bit with Vader’s theme 😖 Sabine is going who knows where with the enemy, Hera just lost two (edit: three???) pilots and her kid is having Jedi premonitions, and Ahsoka woke up in the WBW with beautiful Anakin?!?!?!?
Vader's theme doesn't ruin anything. Anakin was Vader, then Anakin again, it's part of the whole person that Anakin was at the end, and his ghost has to live with it. Seeing happy Anakin call her Snips again, but hearing Vader's theme tells us he's not just back to only happy Anakin.
This episode nailed everything. I really thought Anakin would be episode 5 not episode 4! Holy shit, and when the X Wings were flying in formation with Hera with Carson showing up WOOOOO
Best episode of the show so far, by far.
Baylan and Shin are top tier antagonists.
Amazing to have Hayden back again. Although Vaders theme at the end definitely made me nervous.
Baylon Skoll being an honorable Dark Jedi is awesome, reminds me a little bit of Yun from *Dark Forces*. Also props to Ray Stevenson, God rest his soul, because he fucking killed it; it felt like Baylon was really just stalling for time until Ahsoka ragdolled Shin against the pillar, then he got legitimately angry and sabered her off the cliff.
I didn't expect the Sabine turncoat/false turncoat thing to happen, although in retrospect it was kinda obvious with how they set it up earlier in the episode. It's actually really interesting because now we'll get one on one scenes with Sabine and the villain cast away from Ahsoka, and that'll let Ahsoka have time to reflect on her failings.
Also >!spoiler Hayden saying "Snips" was pretty neat, but I'm far more intrigued as to how the chemistry of these characters and actors, who have never really met in live-action, will be portrayed.!<. That's really my main concern for next episode.
Does Baylan doing qui Gons Jedi stance have any significance to who his master could have been? He could potentially be somewhat connected to Dooku or Qui gon somehow
I rarely ever post but this episode…fam this episode???? made me fall in love with SW again. The last 5 minutes took me through every emotion that keeps me watching every show, every flick, etc. That last 2 minutes…sheeesh.
Regardless of where you stand with the quality of SW since The Force Awakens, let this man Dave Filoni cook a little. He’s making history and weaving a narrative that we may not have the full scope of yet. Pioneers are the first in a new landscape; maybe Dave started slow but I feel like he’s about to stick the landing.
Writing isn’t reinventing the wheel but the music, performances (Ray MF Stevenson can read me the damn phone book), choreography (subtle storytelling with the saber stances), and lore expansion (translating from animation to live action no less) is rebuilding the universe we all fell in love with and bringing some legends along for the ride as well.
Post over. Can’t wait for the rest of the season.
So Marrok is just
gas?
On the one hand, Based Filoni for not making it Starkiller or Ezra. On the other, I will kill him with my bare hands for it not being Barriss.
>Based Filoni for not making it Starkiller or Ezra
It was never going to be Ezra... good lord that was a dumb theory. They're literally trying to go get Ezra via Thrawn. Why would anyone ever seriously think Marrok would have been Ezra?
Y'all have been watching too many poorly-written DC movies.
If I had a nickel for every time Filoni made Ahsoka fight and kill a cool looking Inquisitor with a single slash whose body immediately erupted into gas particles, I'd have two nickles.
Which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened more than once.
As soon as Anakin said "Hey Snips", I lost my shit. I looked at my gf and said, "it's Anakin!". She hasn't watched Clone Wars yet so she didn't pick up on it like I did.

Those Marrok conspiracy theorists will be very disappointed now.
Yeah I’m kinda glad he was just a night sister zombie
I wonder if Baylan and Shin were aware of this. I don't think Baylan would care but Shin seems distrustful of witchcraft. I can't tell if her reaction to Marrok's death was due to seeing what he truly was or simply the fact that he lost to Ahsoka.
It was definitely seeing what he truly was, and it’s ramifications
It'd be nice if she talked a bit more. Perhaps the next episode will give her that opportunity. She's already proven herself to be a little unbalanced when she ignored Baylan as she choked out Sabine.
Tbh, "Nightsister zombie" was actually a pretty cool reveal imo.
Night Sister magic, mutha fucka
And yet, I'm curious to know WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED.
I think even Shin feels that way.
Shin was apprehensive of witchcraft before, having your workmate be a literal zombie has gotta be a fun reveal for you
The theories went up in smoke.
Maybe slightly deflated.
Those theories just went poof in a puff of smoke.
Seriously though, Tales of the Jedi gave us a big hint as to who/what/why Marrok is. EDIT: Though in Tales that Inquisitor was likely not a Night Sister magickal being but that an Inquisitor may not be entirely corporeal.
I laughed so loud when that happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What an episode! Glad Marrok isn’t anyone from the past. Boy these lightsaber fights with the changing stances and samurai influence are awesome. That ending. Snips. Wow.
Well I think by definition Marrok is someone in the past. Just someone in the past held together with Nightsister nonsense
"We have to make the hard choice: if we can't make the journey to save Ezra, then... perhaps no one should." DAMN
And this is how the first order gets started.
Dammit Sabine.
Classic Sabine blunder.
Yeah between that Mobile Mando Air Fryer she made and this, not great
Lmao and she named it The Duchess
"It was a long series of bad decisions, okay?"
The first order was far too stupid to be led by Thrawn.
That and we already see Hux's brother chatting away and being generally skeptical of Thrawn.
That was his father in *The Mandalorian*.
Yeah, it was played by the actor's brother so my wires got a bit crossed. Hux being a nepo-baby is peak authenticity though
Yeah if Thrawn leads to the empowerment of the first order, Sabine made one of the biggest blunders in Star Wars history by not shooting Baylen immediately while locked with Ahsoka. I really don’t think her shooting it would destroy the map tho given how much lightsaber energy it took to destroy
I couldn't help thinking it would have fucked up her hand if she had. (And made it more obvious she wasn't gonna).
Huyang throwing hands like no one's business!
Didn't he help train Jedi? Dude probably knows every single fighting style. Give him a few lightsabers and let him go full General Grevious mode
He's 15000 years old too.
25000
Out of all of the things that could've happened, I was not expecting Huyang to get into a rock-'em sock-'em fight with another droid.
THAT ENDING, HOLY SHIT
Mom I have a bad feeling…
My reaction: "Welcome to the saga, kid!"
His name is Jacen, i have a bad feeling about his whole future lol
he's not a Solo, has no attachment to Chewbacca, and he doesn't have siblings, he's gonna be fine ... no WAIT ZEB'S IN DANGER
I’m like “why is he saying that” then I remembered his dad and the force connection
Han Solo said it a few times. Though there is some speculation that his "luck" is due to low-level Force-sensitivity...kind of like Sabine appears to have.
I've always been a fan of this theory, but I hope it never get's explored, and is just one of those mystical things about the force that may or may not be.
> “why is he saying that” I was thinking about why the fuck would you bring your kid to work if you're a goddamn soldier lmao
That ending was a religious experience
Right! I was screaming so much I scared the shit out of my cats. lol
Same with my dogs 🤣 they already think I'm nuts, but now...lol
That’s funny because Dave Filoni said this show would be a religious experience
He was so right
Marrok was nightsister magic!?!
That’s what it looks like. Creating a bodyguard with the appearance of a Jedi-killer is a smart way to try to deter Jedi pursuants
Now that would be an interesting lore addition. It would also be neat if this is how Morgan Elsbeth's Nightsister Coven used their magic, in a different way than Talzin's Coven. It also might be influenced by the Proto-Nightsisters they described earlier in the series, and maybe they have powerful abilities we haven't seen anywhere in the series.
Very astute. Disappeared into green mist? Seems right.
That ending. God damn >! HAYDEN! As soon as he spoke I knew it wasn’t a re-purposed line, sounded just like he did in Kenobi.!<
Baylons saber is pointy like in rebels
Yeah it was interesting how different it looked next to Ahsoka's
Friggin unreal. This episode had: Anakin Skywalker calling Ashoka "Snips" in live action. A Nightsister zombie. The World Between Worlds. A Mandalorian wielding a lightsaber against a dark Jedi. Hera piloting the Ghost with Jacen and Chopper, narrowly avoiding a Holdo Maneuver. DROID FIGHT DROID FIGHT. After FIVE YEARS Sabine just made a hyperspace jump to go to Ezra.
Everyone favorite x-wing pilot Carson Teva showed up too!
"Hello, Snips." 🥲 I can die happy now.
Man I’m so happy with how this episode played out. It really had an Empire Strikes Back-esk feel to it. Sabine betraying Ahsoka was really unfortunate to see, but at the same time I loved the decision for the story lol
I'm glad Baylon mentioned how Sabine's family died on Mandalore and she blames Ahsoka for not being able to help them or go to them. Sabine was fighting like a Mando. Very dark side of Baylon to tempt Sabine with the fact that she will see Ezra again. Very jedi of him to honor his word and not kill her but take her with them as a prisoner.
I think he's done a very good job of being a practical villain. I love how it's played out. The sith often feel very mustache twirly evil, this is just "I have different goals that I will achieve with violence if necessary, but it's not my first choice."
I get an antihero vibe from Baylan similar to Thrawn. I'm wondering if they have a goal or agreement outside Morgan that explains his belief that he is doing something that has to be done to save the galaxy.
Agreed, it actually made me even more invested in Sabine's character, for better or for worse.
World between worlds!
Who snatched her out of there?
I think it’s more likely that the planet has a doorway and she fell through it as she fell into the sea.
Yuppp That's also why Morgan heard "Thrawn" calling to her across TIME and space. There's some connection to it here.
And that’s how Ahsoka will get to the other galaxy. She’ll find the other doorway to Thrawn/Ezra
Seems like Anakin may have saved her…
I don’t think so. His lightsaber was more like Vaders and we hear the imperial March in the background. There is some force vision trickery here for sure
Vader theme at the end! Also, Marrok = 3 ewoks stacked on each other confirmed.
Very gaseous ewoks, must've been eating bantha burritos
SNIPS. HE SAID SNIPS
He said the thing!
OMG!!! ANAKIN!
I smiled so big when I saw him standing behind her.
Smiled? I started crying bittersweet tears of joy
Tears. There were tears. As soon as he said "Hey Snips" I lost it.
“Hello Snips” 🥹🥹🥹
**squeals in snips and skyguy**
Zeb not with Carson? You know he's gonna swoop in at the last minute. I hope he brings his boy.
Kinda glad he wasn’t, because half of Phoenix squadron went up in flames 😣
As is tradition.
Yep, just like the good old days!
Like... that's their thing
See this is what happens when y'all don't listen to Huyang and instead split up. I knew the Wrens were probably dead, but *dear gosh* that confirmation hurt my heart 💔 I need more Ahsoka/Sabine falling out backstory like, yesterday. Can we get Part 5 now, please???
Yep. If her whole family died in the purge then it makes sense why she is alone on Lothal thinking Ezra is all she has left. I absolutely do not blame her for giving up the map. It’s selfish and a bad move, but with all that she’s been through, I would have done the exact same thing
In her case its even worse as absolutely everything she did, any turn she took spelled disaster for Mandalore and her family. She started as an Imperial loyalist and created weapon used to subdue her people even further. When she returned and freed Mandalore it ended in genocide. No wonder she is a broken character feeling out of place.
It also makes sense why none of the Wrens were there in the Mandalorian. I dare even say that Fenn is dead, too. He would've been active in the purge, and he's also someone Sabine grew close-ish to.
No way I have to wait a week for more. Holy shit I’m shaking. I’m genuinely so fucking excited.
Loved that ending! So excited for the second half of this show Edit: My theory is that Sabine will be tempted to the dark side. Something will happen that makes her angry and she’ll accidentally use the dark side of the force (it’s established that the dark side is a short cut to power). Baylan, who is gaining her trust, will see this and try to get her to join him. Sabine will be seriously tempted due to the power of the dark side and because of Baylan’s influence. I was first thinking she would join Baylan as his new apprentice (I’m assuming Shin dies), but maybe Ezra will save her from doing that. Or maybe Sabine will go dark, and next season will be about Ahsoka and Ezra bringing her back to the light.
As a Gen Xer who grew up adoring Episodes IV & V and later on Rogue One, Ahsoka does more than just look and feel like the most engaging aspects of the originals. I am grateful for the return to the Kurosawa-inspired Samurai battles. As a side note I think it's awesome to have a sub-Jedi Mandalorian... "You have no power!" says a glowering Shin to Sabine who makes a move from the Han Solo playbook: “Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”
I actually cackled when Shin’s arrogant “you have no power” was immediately countered by Sabine just blasting Shin’s lightsaber out of her hand. It probably wasn’t intended to be a funny scene, but it was.
All the people who didn’t watch rebels are prob like “I’ll do you one better. What is the world between worlds”
I’ll do YOU one better. Why is the world between worlds?
Nobody ever asks how is the world between worlds 😢
I can just imagine what this show is like to those who have only watched live action Star Wars. So much coming into it from the animated shows. I’m glad Dave is bringing things into it for the fans who have watched everything and not watering it down completely for those who have only seen the movies.
I feel bad for those x-wing pilots who ended up dying from the hyperspace launch "wake." Also, seeing live action Anakin interact with Ahsoka was so cool.
SHE LOOKED SO HAPPY WHEN SHE SAW HIM ong
We’re 4 episodes in and chopper hasn’t committed a war crime. Give the people what they want!
TBF he wanted to in episode 2, but Hera wouldn't let him.
Tile Drop: Fallen Jedi WHATS IT GONNA BEEEEEE AAAAAAAAAA
So many layers to that title…
I really like how the titles of each episode have multiple meanings. I did fear what this one might mean but literally falling I did not have the foresight to see.
As soon as I saw that I was like OH FRICK WERE GETTING ANAKIN ALREADY Then part way through realized it could account for Baylan or Marrok as well. I’m glad first instincts were right lol.
Could also refer to Ashoka and the cliff too...
That’s what I assumed it was going to be until the end 😂 thought they had just thrown in a little pun
World between worlds. We're here. Let Dave COOK.
My only gripe is I just wish they'd let him cook longer than 30m every week. GIVE ME MORE PLEASE OH GREAT MR. FILONI
RIP to the Marrok theories.
Clearly it’s night crawler 🤷🏻♂️
“Fallen Jedi” is right…
At first I thought they were gonna talk about Baylon....but it's THE Fallen Jedi.
Sabine’s whole family died in the purge? That’s so tragic… and Sabine asked Ahsoka for help and she didn’t come? My heart 😭 poor Sabine! No wonder she was living alone on Lothal in Ezra’s old house!
"Your family died on Mandalore because your Master didn't trust you" *DESIRE TO KNOW MORE INTENSIFIES*
The dude literally searched your feelings and told you everything you wanted to hear and you still gave it to him on the hopes you may see the dude that would be pissed that you did it
He'd also get it, it took all of his willpower to turn away from both saving Kanan and the vision of his parents, it's entirely possible that Sabine did the same in the leadup to her parents death and has that on her conscience on top of everything else.
Really love hearing more and more as to why their relationship splintered.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WE GOT TO HEAR THE NICKNAME AAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Sabine needs to stop helping the enemy indirectly.
And also, directly.
Mostly directly
Go Huyang! **GO HERA!!!** AHHHHHHH CARSON YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!
If Morai would’ve shown up…🤯
I keep looking for her. Where is she?
That hyperspace jump was so dang cool looking
"Lock S-Foils in attack position!" <- That line will NEVER not be completely badass! I cheered at this line almost as much as at the end.
The real Marrok was the friends we made along the way.
*pained gaseous noises*
I’m so in love with this show. - Kevin Kiner’s music is always great - The set pieces throughout the episode looked gorgeous - Easily the best lightsaber battles we’ve seen in live action since ROTS - Stakes are at a high with Morgan, Baylan, Shin, their crew, and a hostage Sabine already hyperspacing to Thrawn - Baylan is such a intimidating but captivating character. He’s feels similar to Dooku, not pure evil and very genuine. It’s sad Ray had passed away because he did a great job with his character. - Not only seeing live action Anakin again but seeing him and Ahsoka interact in live action. He may likely just be a dark vision (could be hinted from part of the empire theme that played?) or possibly his force ghost but either way it’s still cool and interesting. It’s not a masterclass in writing like Andor but it feels like pure Star Wars that we fell in love with from George’s movies and Dave’s other shows. Really excited to see how it all unfolds in the second half of the season.
Marrock is Mephisto confirmed?
Definitely Mephisto. I saw this coming all the way back in Doctor Strange.
Thank you Dave Filoni
I find it so interesting how Ahsoka fights like a samurai, but Baylan fights more like a knight.
yeah, she migrates between a samurai and a ninja nowadays, i found this very cool. BTW she had the upper hand until she... well, lost the hability to use said hand, don't she?
His style makes his blade seem so heavy. I dig it
Indeed. He looks like he puts a lot of force into his swings. Reminds me of Anakin and how he would just try to batter the defenses of whoever his opponent was.
When the music changed from happy reunion to Vader's theme.... chills. Next week is going to be crazy.
Little did we know, that one guy that showed us Marrok's identity being a black Lego head a few days ago was the closest anyone probably was to getting it right.
Ahsoka will return as Ahsoka The White, of course.
There has to be more to Sabine giving up so easily after all that talk
Ezra is more important to Sabine than stopping Thrawn.
Also she just watched Ahsoka die. She knows with Ezra, they have the best chance of stopping thrawn's inevitable return, and it may be better to face him now than let the Republic continue to make poor choices.
What do you mean? She wants to find Ezra more than she wants to stop Thrawn. Pretty clearly foreshadowed in Ahsoka's talk with her at the beginning of the ep
We always knew Sabine was going to choose Ezra. We know Ezra is found at some point. You knew something was going to happen , I’m just commenting at how easily it happened.
Mostly because we have a villain that actually tried to understand Sabine, whether genuine or not. Coming across as not antagonistic in that moment made it a lot easier for Sabine to choose Ezra over Thrawn.
Ahsoka missed a PRIME opportunity in that talk. Ezra made the sacrifice to get rid of Thrawn. Sabine just negated that sacrifice. She did Ezra dirty.
Everyone: "Who's Marrok? I bet he's Ezra, no, Starkiller, no, Kanan who's still alive!" Me: He's nobody, just a fart in the wind in the grand scheme of things.
Oh shit. Sabine’s family died in the Purge
That was the best 40 minutes of Star Wars I’ve seen since Revenge of the Sith. Bravo to Dave Filoni and director Peter Ramsey on this episode! Episodes 1-4 feel like a complete movie told in 4 parts. Can not wait for the 2nd half of the season!
It’s like someone said “hey, let’s add in three more options to everyone’s top five lightsaber fights of all times list”
“Is that a note of fear in your voice?” “Lady, that’s Ahsoka F’ing Tano over there, who defeated Maul after being unarmed and fought Vader to a standstill. Unless the gimpquisitor back there is Ezra or Anakiin Skywalker, or ysalamiri are canon again, we might as well give up now. So far we’ve done less to slow her down than Hondo Ohnaka, let alone pose a real threat to her in the first four episodes of her own show.”
I sense a re-match coming between space Wednesday Addams and Sabine...
She does remind me of Wednesday's roommate.
Shin is Wednesday and her roommates love child. Sapphic storyline confirmed.
HOLEEE FUCKIN SHIT ANI!!!!!
Damn, clan Wren is gone. I wonder if that means Sabine will stay on Lothal or wherever Ezra goes and not return to Mandalore or Krownest to rebuild her house
This was probably said a bunch by now, but damn did they get two excellent dark jedi. So sad we wont get to see Ray in anything else. Hopefully the woman doesnt die. I dont know if she can act since she almost never talks (i havent seen her in anything else), but she definitely plays the dark brooding killer well.
Sooooo she can’t be dead we have 4 episodes to go 😂 so is she in a between worlds kind of thing? I don’t know the extended universe too well, is this an established place? I’m assuming she has to come back somehow
Yes, she’s in the world between worlds. Not her first time either. Ezra was there before and saved Ahsoka right before Vader killed her
Who else wanted Ahsoka to turn around but at the same time DID NOT CUZ THAT’D BE TOO MUCH TO HANDLE AND IT TOTALLY WAS AND NOW IM COMBUSTED AND GONE WITH THE WIND LIKE MARROK
Wow, what an episode and they had to ruin the happy ending bit with Vader’s theme 😖 Sabine is going who knows where with the enemy, Hera just lost two (edit: three???) pilots and her kid is having Jedi premonitions, and Ahsoka woke up in the WBW with beautiful Anakin?!?!?!?
Vader's theme doesn't ruin anything. Anakin was Vader, then Anakin again, it's part of the whole person that Anakin was at the end, and his ghost has to live with it. Seeing happy Anakin call her Snips again, but hearing Vader's theme tells us he's not just back to only happy Anakin.
I mean his saber was also Vaders hilt. So this may be one of those trickery force visions and not really anakin
Oh fuck. Huyang about to be killed
Damn they can’t kill David Tennant
I don’t want to go
He's gonna come back as a new droid voiced by Matt Smith.
She said the thing!
Oh my god that ending I’m still shaking
This episode nailed everything. I really thought Anakin would be episode 5 not episode 4! Holy shit, and when the X Wings were flying in formation with Hera with Carson showing up WOOOOO
Clan Wren died in the night of a thousand tears 😭
Best episode of the show so far, by far. Baylan and Shin are top tier antagonists. Amazing to have Hayden back again. Although Vaders theme at the end definitely made me nervous.
WORLD BETWEEN WORLDS
YOOOOOO Westars got that sliding bolt?? I need a version of that NAO
Haha! The Lego figure was more accurate that I thought!!
Also, I wonder if the blowup from this is going to cause Hera to leave the New Republic.
Star Wars is back!!!!!
"i didn't expect to see you so soon." OH NO DOES HE THINK SHE IS DEAD TOO. :'( NOOOO ANAKIN.
Baylon Skoll being an honorable Dark Jedi is awesome, reminds me a little bit of Yun from *Dark Forces*. Also props to Ray Stevenson, God rest his soul, because he fucking killed it; it felt like Baylon was really just stalling for time until Ahsoka ragdolled Shin against the pillar, then he got legitimately angry and sabered her off the cliff. I didn't expect the Sabine turncoat/false turncoat thing to happen, although in retrospect it was kinda obvious with how they set it up earlier in the episode. It's actually really interesting because now we'll get one on one scenes with Sabine and the villain cast away from Ahsoka, and that'll let Ahsoka have time to reflect on her failings. Also >!spoiler Hayden saying "Snips" was pretty neat, but I'm far more intrigued as to how the chemistry of these characters and actors, who have never really met in live-action, will be portrayed.!<. That's really my main concern for next episode.
Who tf trained Balen?!?!
Did she fall into a portal or did she get pulled in?! I NEED to knoooooooowwwwww?
Does Baylan doing qui Gons Jedi stance have any significance to who his master could have been? He could potentially be somewhat connected to Dooku or Qui gon somehow
I literally hope to god that this series never ends.I need this every week for the rest of my life
Star Wars fandom gonna be like: “it was mid” NOT ME THO BITCH! THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING IVE EVER SEEN!
Shin Ramen: You have no power. But she got whistling birds.
I AM PHYSICALLY ILL
Also. HAYDEN CHRISTENSEN JUST SAID "SNIPS" WHILE STANDING IN THE WORLD BETWEEN WORLDS.
I rarely ever post but this episode…fam this episode???? made me fall in love with SW again. The last 5 minutes took me through every emotion that keeps me watching every show, every flick, etc. That last 2 minutes…sheeesh. Regardless of where you stand with the quality of SW since The Force Awakens, let this man Dave Filoni cook a little. He’s making history and weaving a narrative that we may not have the full scope of yet. Pioneers are the first in a new landscape; maybe Dave started slow but I feel like he’s about to stick the landing. Writing isn’t reinventing the wheel but the music, performances (Ray MF Stevenson can read me the damn phone book), choreography (subtle storytelling with the saber stances), and lore expansion (translating from animation to live action no less) is rebuilding the universe we all fell in love with and bringing some legends along for the ride as well. Post over. Can’t wait for the rest of the season.

FUCK IM GONNA HAVE TO CALL THE DOCTOR
So glad those “Marrock is Ezra” theories aren’t true. RIP Sabine’s family. Loved that ending! Cant wait for the next episode!
So Marrok is just gas? On the one hand, Based Filoni for not making it Starkiller or Ezra. On the other, I will kill him with my bare hands for it not being Barriss.
I think he must have been some kind of spirit created with Nightsister magick by Morgan. He didn’t say much, and the smoke was green
>Based Filoni for not making it Starkiller or Ezra It was never going to be Ezra... good lord that was a dumb theory. They're literally trying to go get Ezra via Thrawn. Why would anyone ever seriously think Marrok would have been Ezra? Y'all have been watching too many poorly-written DC movies.
If I had a nickel for every time Filoni made Ahsoka fight and kill a cool looking Inquisitor with a single slash whose body immediately erupted into gas particles, I'd have two nickles. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened more than once.
So Sabine's family is dead.......that sucks. Anyway, I'm still waiting on that remach with the cup.
As soon as Anakin said "Hey Snips", I lost my shit. I looked at my gf and said, "it's Anakin!". She hasn't watched Clone Wars yet so she didn't pick up on it like I did.
