wrong SW thread


I read your post on the other thread and I think I speak for everyone when I say " Chuck Wendig's Jar Jar making an appearance in this show would be the most glorious thing to happen to star wars since the holiday special."

What was cringy about that?

It looked like standard pre-viz footage.


The dialogue for Boba Fett alone.. not at all consistent with his character. Seemed dumb and childish.

Never heard of the other characters. They just seemed awfully.. kids cartoony. Not a fan.

It is a kids cartoon and it was a young (teenager) Boba Fett.

Late to the party this week. They crammed a LOT into that episode, but you've got to love them trying to salvage the ST by filling in a rational backstory.

Hopefully it doesn't detract from the stuff that's been so good about this show so far.

I must say, assuming Rosario Dawson appears as Asokha on Friday, it will be one of the most unique experiences I can think of in TV - an absolutely beloved character recognized instantly by her voice now being taken over by a completely different actress, but working with the person who created the character and wrote so many of her adventures. I hope there is a Roundtable episode forthcoming about that pressure on Rosario Dawson and how they approached. Even odder considering they got Katee Sackhoff to reprise Bo Katan.

Will be really interesting to see who and where Asokha is now. Is she beat down from life like Luke in Episode 7-9? What is she doing on Corvus? Where are Sabine and Ezra? Is Rex still around? How about Zev?

This is a guaranteed wake up at 2:05 a.m. and watch it on my phone episode. I made the terrible mistake of trying to watch last week's episode fresh with my family. They won't be quiet!

My brain initially read this as "What is she doing about Covid?" and I got really confused for a second.

What's even stranger is, when they announced her as Ashoka it really seems like a perfect casting..visually at least.

Has anyone posited yet that The Child could in fact be baby Yoda?

What if we've never scene another Yoda species (besides stupid pink Yaddle, which is debatable) because Yoda is in fact a one-of-a-kind Force Phoenix creature?

He dies, becomes one with the force, and is reincarnated / reborn lives 900 years - rinse & repeat...

He could have gone through 100 such cycles in and out of the Force, life, death, etc. And each time he has no memory of who he was, so he could have been a Jedi, a Sith, or a no-dogma Force user, several times each... Baby Yoda is just the latest cycle of Yoda Reborn?

That would be kind of a cool twist, I think.
Theorizing that one could time travel within his own lifetime, Grand Master Yoda
stepped into the time portal - and vanished. He awoke to find himself trapped in the past, facing mirror images that were not his own, and driven by an unknown force to change history for the better. His only guide on this journey is Jar Jar, an observer from his own time, who appears in the form of a hologram that only Yoda can see and hear. And so Yoda finds himself leaping from life to life, striving to put right what once went wrong and hoping each time that his next leap... will be the leap home.
omg Quantum Leap!!

I'm enjoying it, but it does seem different than I remember. I haven't gotten to any of the great episodes where they intersect with Sam's/Al's personal history yet though.

The Lee Harvey Oswald episode is my favorite one.

Filoni is going so dark on this they didn't even release a one-sentence plot line as a preview this week.

I mean surely there's a big Mando/Gideon/Asokha/Bo-Katan fight this season, right? Where Asokha lights those up? I can't imagine them selling those if not.
Fat Bib Fortuna

my 11th hour wild speculation as I split my mind's focus 50-50 on Mando and my actual work.

1) Does Asokha know that Obi-Wan and Yoda survived the Purge? Does she know where they went into hiding? Does she know they're both now dead? If she knew Yoda was on Dagobah at some time would she consider taking The Child there to see if Yoda left behind any clues of where he was from?

2) What's she doing on this planet? Throughout the history of Asokha in cartoons, books and comics, the one defining point is that has to have a cause. Even when she runs in the final season of Clone Wars she ends up helping the two most annoying sisters on Coruscant on a mission before she gets sucked back into the Mandalore/Maul drama.

3) What if she's gone Clark Kent and left the Force and the Jedi behind? What if she's married and she fears Mando bringing BY to her because she has her own family and her own Child?

Damn, 5 more hours.

I usually watch on Friday nights, but I'm almost more interested in staying up for your immediate reaction tonight, then watching right after.

A LOT of Ahsoka's story revolves around protecting and/or finding Force sensitive younglings. Hard to imagine her turning down helping the Child. UNLESS her leaving the Jedi and continuing under whatever her personal belief system is (all white robes at the end of Rebels, etc).

For fans of the bigger picture and the animation in general, I have two big questions for tomorrow.

1. What clues will this give us about the upcoming Rebels sequel, which we expect in part to involve Ahsoka and Sabine searching for Ezra? This episode will undoubtedly take place AFTER that series. Will she talk about Sabine? Is Sabine alive or dead? We're they present at the Great Purge of Mandalore by the Empire that included the loss of the darksaber?

2. A much smaller question and something I think is likely to show up given Filoni's involvement... will we see the owl that often follows Ahsoka, Morai? And get any more insight into how she and Mortis are tied to Ahsoka?

I don't think I've been this hyped for a TV show episode since the Battle of Winterfell. Ahsoka has a very low bar to clear.
