Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Skywarp2203: Baylon is a complex character. He uses the dark side. Yet he tells his apprentice not to kill Ashoka. He even has her have the apprentice braid. Curious to see why he left the Jedi way. My thoughts were that he was a Jedi temple guard. Possibly pulled away by Barris ( she was led away after arrest by them). Combined the yellow of their previous commitment with the Sith red (symbolic of turning from their order) and they manifest orange sabers. They have Jedi codes still (as old ones) but are not Jedi. They care even for Ahsoka though she would destroy their plans. Very disciplined and trained for a long time. Actually could be very interesting complex character. Story arc should be good. |

Is Ashoka “Andor” or “Book of Bobba”?

In series finale, Ashoka kills old white man. Elsewhere, Wren combines Mandalorian girl powers with Jedi girl powers and beats Blondie. Ashoka and Wren reunite and run away with [insert new macguffin] to finally find Ezra.
Blondie discovers old man is dead. Old man is revealed to be dad. Many screams, much tears. Sadness. Blondie eyes have hint of red. Perhaps laser sword changes color right then. Scene. Fade to credits. Disney announces upcoming film. |

Everybody’s mentioning RD’s stoic portrayal of Ahsoka. I see it more along the lines of her being focused on the mission.
For the other galaxy and Elsbeth mentioning an ancient civilization (don’t remember the exact wording), I wonder if they’re referring to the Zeffo. They were ancient Force users, weren’t Jedi, but ended up having sects that kept delving deeper into the dark side. The other galaxy doesn’t seem like it’d be the Unknown Region, maybe they won’t change up the origin of the Yuuzhan Vong or the Grysk in order to fit the story. |

The one thing I've noticed that's pretty bad and frankly it's because of the female characters is the lightsaber fights seem really stiff.
say what you want about episodes 1-3 but the light saber battles reminded me of people that were skilled warriors with a lightsaber. |

I have noticed that that RD plays Ashoka stiffer. Right now I’m the taking this as the fact that this an adult and fully mature in her powers Ashoka. During the clone wars running off with the map would be in line with her character. Now we are seeing her experience the other side of juvenile rashness. Plus her fight with Vader she had the realization that it’s her mentor and idol in the suit and then he killed her. If it wasn’t for Ezra and extra ordinary measures she would still be dead. This had to have broken something in her, for sure the last childishness was gone. |

I'm going to be that guy but I hope they don't bring either of these into canon. I honestly think they were terrible additions to the Star Wars universe. Aren't the Grysk already canon? They were in the last Thrawn trilogy. Don't know. I haven't read a Star Wars book in a long time. They sucked. A being so powerful it's able to kill 3 trillion species, it's not force sensitive, completely detached from the force, completely unstoppable. It's the Star Wars equivalent of Kryptonite. They shattered the entire safety bubble around characters and made the force weak. I enjoyed it. Also, it put Star Wars on a total war footing. Just like Kryptonite shatters the safety bubble around Superman. It's weak writing. The Vong suck. Meh, it wasn't weak writing. We'll have to agree to disagree. I think the Vong were the worst addition to the EU. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By rtintwo: I have noticed that that RD plays Ashoka stiffer. Right now I'm the taking this as the fact that this an adult and fully mature in her powers Ashoka. During the clone wars running off with the map would be in line with her character. Now we are seeing her experience the other side of juvenile rashness. Plus her fight with Vader she had the realization that it's her mentor and idol in the suit and then he killed her. If it wasn't for Ezra and extra ordinary measures she would still be dead. This had to have broken something in her, for sure the last childishness was gone. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By macman37: This was a return to classic-feeling Star Wars. Was just able to watch the first 2 eps tonight. It felt right. Click To View Spoiler He is Marrok. He is a new character and he used to be an Inquisitor. That's all we know at this point. |
