Star Wars: Ahsoka

Also kudos to Filoni for not having the final reveal of Ezra be that he's an expectations subverting dick or dun, dun, DUNNN, the right hand man Stormtrooper in the funky helmet.

I hope the bearded look stays. It's unique for SW and I thought he looked a bit goofy in the hologram.

I quite like his judeo-christian look!

So how long were Thrawn and Ezra supposed to be on that planet? 10 years?

So when he packs up to go, Is he going to cut the beard, the hair, put on anything that references his old gear (it's been 10 years nomad), or is this his look going forward?



Hopefully the beard sticks, somewhat channeling his father.

Wait..... that's Ezra??

When I saw the pictures of the posters the other day with no captions I thought it was just some rando New Republic character or something like they've done before with these character posters.

Soooo Ezra is the next second coming character, aka Jesus. Move over Rey (after Anakin), Ezra is the true true "Chosen One".... Looks like a movie still taken right from some Bible movie... Thrawn still in his Admiral uniform, but Ezra goes for the humble poor man garb.

Whatever this 10 years reveal: (Thrawn among an army of undead?)
Thrawn seems to be clinging to what he had, and was.
Ezra seems to be more adapting to what he's become, a nomad.
Visually and thematically works for both characters and their differences.

Or Ezra has discovered the location of (& shops at) the local bazaar while Thrawn has gone the dark magic route...

It’s been quite awhile.

He was young when he left.

I for certain was not expecting Ezra to look like a teenager on some rough planet lol

Ezra aged while all the other Rebels characters stayed the same, didn't Interstellar teach us that the opposite should have happened, lol.

 

[Darthrazz]

When Ezra called out to Sabine, and we saw him for the first time, he should have had a turtle shell on his back. That would have been awesome!!

It’s be around 10 years yeah.

But when has Star Wars ever been realistic, the ships wouldn’t even be able to turn

And then when they hugged he should have picked her up and thrown HER over his shoulder. BOOM, expectations subverted.

Or he has those crab people make his stuff. They look rather snazzy in there get up lol

Timothy Zahn has been saying 9 years since they disappeared. He’s itching to tell some stories in that gap but has to wait and see what Filoni does.

So it is worth noting that Ezra is like a day or two older than Luke and Leia. He was a young teenager when he and Thrawn disappeared so he likely outgrew any of his clothes he arrived with, hence the all new look.

I’m curious if we’ll get another ‘here is your lightsaber back’ and ‘nah, you keep it’ moment with Ezra and Sabine. I’m really hoping they drop the Sabine Force training thing.

Or maybe she goes off to train with Luke. "Lesson 1, fill my thermos!"

Don't feel bad. I think the show is positively wretched. I have yet to make it through a single episode. I'm just kinda skimming to see if there are any interesting cameos. 8oi

I'm absolutely baffled how people can actually sit through this, let alone come away from it feeling "entertained."

I am here for one reason: to have episode 5 make a tidge of sense to me when I watch it. I want to see the CW stuff.

After that, much will depend on what I see here in this thread as we go.

Soccer mom is exactly what she is. But then, we dont even get to see Kanan Jarrus, marginally the most interesting person in Rebels along with Fenn Rau.

I think Baylan and Shin are getting positive reviews because they appear at least competent compared to everyone else. They dont do stupid stuff, nor are they emitting 1000 wpm. They show up, get their objective done with minimal chitchat and posturing. Appreciated. Nor do they have to explain their actions to a nitpicking and passive-aggressive bunch of hologram Rebel higher-ups. Rebel high command has all the charisma of your average bowl of oatmeal. With no sugar, even! One could be forgiven for wishing Vader and his lightsaber show up.

 

[xipotec]

Did you miss the part where this is leading into a movie?

I did actually!

 

[Sassafras]

Wasn't there some slumbering Force-Moose creature at the center of everything, another of Filoni's contrivances?

Yeah. Bendu. A concept I would have found a lot cooler if it didn't look like a baboon. There was probably some mythology behind it which I don't know.

And don't know if it was the "center" so much as "between" more like the Chinese (as explained by a friend from China) as a Chinese dragon is viewed as neither good nor bad, but "above" or beyond those concepts, unlike Western culture which may view a dragon as "bad".

For me it's because Bayan is refreshingly gray in his approach; neither a selfless Jedi or off with their head head crush you Sith; and Shin seems to be questioning everything from Sabine to Baylan, taking it all in.
I honestly don't sit around wishing Vader would show up, any more than I wanted to see him in Obi; being tired of rehash. At least, even if this show is a sequel to Rebels, it has some new planets and concepts.
