Star Wars: Ahsoka

[chrisstbh]

Good episode.

I kept yelling at Sabine to start fighting like a Mando and not a Jedi, did a first pump when she finally did!

One question though:

Spoiler:

how did Ahsoka enter the World Between Worlds from that cliff dive? Is there a connection between the star map and the WBW, or does she still have some latent connection to it since she's been there before?

Spoiler:

So, I think the WBW is also the "afterlife" in a way - Ahsoka likely isn't dead but I think she's having a near death experience. It's why Anakin says he didn't expect to see her so soon and why he doesn't look like a Force Ghost. This is where their consciousness lives when they don't project themselves to the material plane.

Only bad thing about last night's episode is you might say that my desire for a Merrock figure

Spoiler:

went up in smoke.

So sorry.

I'm geeking out at ahsoka duel with marrok. When she change her lightsaber position downward, it's the exact duel stance in one of seven samurai scene (Everyone here watch that movie, right? Lol)
Yes, yes, filoni, you nerd

Anyone catch the bad folded arm edit:

 

[Mondragon]

After Luke's appearance in the Rescue scene.
Despite all the hoaky Feloni contrivances, and stiff acting, this actually felt the most like SW to me, since the OT.

LOL Ahsoka, they can't go there, will they?

It doesn't work that way!

 

[The Buffinator]

You were right, World between Worlds is still a thing lol

And sometimes I DO hate being right all of the time lol...

Well, This is Filoni's show after all so there was always a good chance it was going to come into play. When Baylan destroyed the map and said "No one will be following us" you just knew WBW was happening.

I hate the WBW but I could warm up to it providing they give more explaination as to what it actually is. I love a Star Wars mystery like Yoda's species as much as the next person but the WBW is absolutely something that needs to be expanded upon.

Turns out it was just a fart. iykyk.

I'm starting to think it may be better if they don't give us too detailed of an explanation. The Jedi and The Force were better when it was more about being attuned to the energy between all living things and less about high midichlorian counts. IDK, maybe it's enough to just have the WBW be a mystical plane/realm which connects all time and space and only certain Jedi (The noblest? Those that have attained their Force PhDs?) may access it.

The Ahsoka/Marrok duel was my favorite moment of any non-Andor Disney+ show. Not only is that how lightsaber duels would actually play out in "real life" (much like why I respect the Kenobi/Maul duel in Rebels), but I also love how it resisted pandering to audience expectations and playing with character "mystery boxes."

Most enjoyable episode of the series overall. But (and it's a huge but)...

Spoiler:

...that ending of Ahsoka in the WBW seems way too reminiscent of when Ahsoka was plucked from death by Ezra. She was once again waking up there and being greeted by someone from her past. If that's what happened again here, but this time with Anakin from before ROTS "catching" Ahsoka from death, then that will absolutely break Star Wars. That's not hyperbole; that's not an "over-geeking" reaction.

My hope is that the whole thing is just a vision that Ahsoka is having. But if it's the real Anakin from the past aiding an Ahsoka from his future, then the plot holes and lore implications from that would be widespread beyond repair. Anyone who cares enough about continuity integrity to actually think it through would have to bail at that point.

No writer or story group justification will ever undo the logic ramifications that would spill out of it because, frankly, I don't think they're smart enough to have understood all of the ramifications in advance. But because it's such a huge and obvious plot hole magnet, I have to believe that Filoni is at least aware enough not to go there. He's gotta have an alternative way to explain that interaction, and Ahsoka being in the WBW again.

I am quite satisfied with everything so far. My only question is - where is Morai???

Spoiler

Spoiler:

I think Anakin was reaching through the Force to save Ahsoka from drowning, just like did Ezra, this time from afterlife (but probably the World between worlds is place where the border between life and death is blurry - that is why the voices of all the people, dead and not even born yet were heard when Ezra first came there)

 

[Cagoda]

Schrodinger's Ahsoka. She probably just got pulled into World Between Worlds instead of dying because of her merging with the Daughter.

Been very lukewarm on this show so far with all the previous episodes but this one was amazing. Ray Stevenson really amazing as ever, such a superb actor portraying such a superb character. Would love to know more about his time as a Jedi. I really enjoyed this. Hope the remaining episodes are this good.

 

[choombaz]

LOL Ahsoka, they can't go there, will they?

It doesn't work that way!

Just as long as she takes back one kadam it will be ok

Spoiler:

So if Ashoka is really in the WBW and not a fall induced hallucination, and Anakin is there, does that mean that Anakin can leave the WBW? Would Filoni EVER do that?? Which Anakin are we looking at? The one who became Vader and is now a Force ghost or the one that has yet to become Vader?
