This is MJ, I'm an author, I'm an artist, I'm an analyzer. You can find all my work at MJMunoz.com.

2
00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:09,520
Welcome to my fully operational Star Wars analysis.

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:14,920
It's time to discuss the big episode. It's actually not the big episode, it's just an okay episode.

4
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Ah, Ahsoka episode 4, Fallen Jedi. Yes. Yes, that's what it's called, Fallen Jedi.

5
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:26,920
And I'm not 100% sure why it's called Fallen Jedi.

6
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:33,920
I've got like 6 candidates, no really there's only maybe 3. 3 to 4 candidates for what?

7
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,920
Okay, there's 5 candidates for why the episode is called Fallen Jedi.

8
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:42,920
And I'm wondering exactly what it means. There's literally, well, I'll get into it later.

9
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,920
But anyway, I like this episode overall. I think...

10
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:53,920
Huh. So I was going to say I think this episode was faster and more intense than the previous episodes.

11
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:58,920
But in a way that's not true because it couldn't have been.

12
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,920
Ahsoka and Sabine were stuck on...

13
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,920
Sea Toss? I believe that's what it's called.

14
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,920
Ah, Sea Toss, the least favorite planet of all sailors in the galaxy.

15
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:12,920
Okay, that was a dad joke.

16
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:18,920
Anyway, so they're stuck on Sea Toss with their ship not working.

17
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:23,920
The ship is trying to repair it and I believe they're doing some repairs as well.

18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,920
They're trying to... they know that they're near the enemy.

19
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:32,920
Because that's, you know, they went towards the enemy and they know the enemy has a face of some sort.

20
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:42,920
I don't know if they know about the map reading monument site thing that the, I guess the Nightsisters, the ancient Nightsisters set up.

21
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:46,920
I don't know if they know about that but they can sense the enemy is close.

22
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:51,920
And they want to go investigate them so they can get any leads or something.

23
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,920
Probably just stop them from using the map, right?

24
00:01:54,920 --> 00:02:01,920
So anyway, they want to do that and the enemy is like reading a map most of the time and talking a little bit about the Jedi.

25
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,920
And then you have some fights happening.

26
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:08,920
So I was, you know, the fights are interesting, the fights are good.

27
00:02:08,920 --> 00:02:12,920
But it's, you know, like I said, I wanted to say it was faster and more intense.

28
00:02:12,920 --> 00:02:17,920
There was a lot of sitting around, standing around, looking at stuff, talking, you know, us reading maps.

29
00:02:17,920 --> 00:02:22,920
Which by the way, they did a very good job of through that...

30
00:02:22,920 --> 00:02:26,920
I don't know if it's Dathomir or if it's Nightsister, I don't know which came first.

31
00:02:26,920 --> 00:02:34,920
But that Nightsister, the droid or whatever that's working for Morgan Elizabeth is reading the meter on like the star map.

32
00:02:34,920 --> 00:02:37,920
Which has like eight or nine nodes on it or whatever.

33
00:02:37,920 --> 00:02:47,920
I would think probably because of Stargate that if you're looking for a location in the universe that you would need seven points of reference.

34
00:02:47,920 --> 00:02:50,920
Not like nine or ten or whatever that map had.

35
00:02:50,920 --> 00:02:54,920
So I wonder why they chose nine or ten and what it means.

36
00:02:54,920 --> 00:02:59,920
And I don't need Star Wars to be hard science fiction because it's mostly, you know, space fantasy, space opera.

37
00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:00,920
And I'm happy with that.

38
00:03:00,920 --> 00:03:03,920
But certain things like that don't make sense.

39
00:03:03,920 --> 00:03:11,920
Like if for some reason they went through all this extra work to give people like three fingers instead of four fingers.

40
00:03:11,920 --> 00:03:15,920
You know, three fingers and a thumb instead of four fingers and a thumb as a normal course of action.

41
00:03:15,920 --> 00:03:19,920
And it was like very important to them to get that detail of human anatomy wrong.

42
00:03:19,920 --> 00:03:21,920
I mean, I would buy it. I'd go with it.

43
00:03:21,920 --> 00:03:24,920
But I wouldn't understand why that decision was made.

44
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:30,920
And similarly, even though I don't think Stargate accurately represents astrophysics, it may.

45
00:03:30,920 --> 00:03:31,920
I don't think it does.

46
00:03:31,920 --> 00:03:46,920
It also doesn't make sense to me to turn your back on like an established science fiction concept of the like the seven points for, I don't know, intergalactic travel or whatever.

47
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,920
That doesn't quite make sense to me.

48
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:55,920
And like I said, it would make more sense for you to think about the cube with the dot inside of it for the reference for a location in three dimensional space.

49
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:57,920
That does make a lot more sense. Seven.

50
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,920
But whatever, I don't really care.

51
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,920
That's fine with me.

52
00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,920
Maybe you could even do it like the different points of a cube.

53
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,920
Let me think about a cube. How many points are there?

54
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,920
How many corners are there in a cube?

55
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,920
Could the eight corners of a cube give you the orientation of something?

56
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:15,920
Maybe.

57
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:16,920
Are there eight corners?

58
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,920
I don't know. I'll have to do the math later.

59
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:19,920
I'm not doing it right now.

60
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:25,920
Anyway, so yeah, that was kind of weird that there was a lot of standing around talking and yet it felt faster and more intense.

61
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,920
Well, maybe it felt faster and more intense because of the caliber of the conversations.

62
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:37,920
And maybe it felt that way because of the actual action fighting that did happen when we got to that point.

63
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:44,920
Also, there was a little bit with Kara and Jason Sendula talking to the New Republic, dealing with them.

64
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:52,920
And it's kind of cool that that Carson guy, like I can't tell if that guy's Asian or Mexican, but it doesn't really matter.

65
00:04:52,920 --> 00:05:00,920
But Carson, regardless, the X-wing pilot who let Mando go in Mando season two and helped him out on the ice planet and stuff,

66
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:10,920
that guy, and I guess he talked to your girl, we're still going to fire her, or I'm going to be fired.

67
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,920
I can't remember the lady's name or the character's name from Mando season one.

68
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:19,920
The lady drop-trip whatever she was, the Alderaanian lady.

69
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:21,920
Anyway, it doesn't matter.

70
00:05:21,920 --> 00:05:26,920
But yeah, so he talked to her about becoming a reindeer of the New Republic when that show was still going to happen,

71
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:28,920
which who knows if it will? Probably not.

72
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,920
Especially with the writer's truck. They'll just drop it and it'll go away forever.

73
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:36,920
So, which that makes me a little sad, but what are you going to do?

74
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:43,920
You're choosing to cast out people and you're not just choosing to have your vision and make it happen.

75
00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:45,920
So that's on you, boo. That's on you.

76
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:51,920
Anyway, so yeah, I think that's cool to see him there.

77
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:59,920
It's odd that he's French with hair or whatever, but then again maybe him being French with hair or knowing her as General Sedula,

78
00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:07,920
that would explain why he's okay with people bending the rules or breaking the rules a little bit in the name of getting good stuff done.

79
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,920
I did like that, I don't know why I'm talking about Jason Sedula,

80
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,920
I just like that Jason Sedula said, Mom, why do you get to break rules and I have to follow them?

81
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,920
I love her response. Well, when you're a general, then you can start breaking rules.

82
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:23,920
Until then, you know, buckle up, buddy. That was kind of fun.

83
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:25,920
It was a cool mom moment. It was a cool kid moment.

84
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,920
Like, hey, what are you doing here? Come on, you're not supposed to be doing this, are you?

85
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:34,920
And yeah, I mean, she is disobeying orders. I wonder if we'll get to see her get in trouble.

86
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,920
I wonder if she will get in that much trouble. I don't really know.

87
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,920
Maybe she's ex- maybe Marmotva and Ziono sign the order for execution.

88
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,920
And that's why we don't see her in the sequel to OZ.

89
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,920
Oh no, the ghost showed up or a ghost like ship showed up in The Rise of Skywalker.

90
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:55,920
I'm sure Hera was there.

91
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:59,920
Anyway, so yeah, I thought that was interesting. It's funny.

92
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,920
I read the little synopsis on Disney Plus before I watched the episode and it was like,

93
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:13,920
Hera risks it all to save her friends. And she was in it for like three minutes, five minutes tops, which is kind of funny.

94
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,920
I did like- I'm going to start on what the actual meat of what happened now.

95
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:26,920
I did like the fact that- maybe I like the fact that Sabine held her own for so long.

96
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,920
Well, she's been- okay. So I thought it was a little interesting that Sabine was holding her own so well against Shin.

97
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:39,920
However, we don't know how long Sabine has been training with Ahsoka again.

98
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:45,920
And she was allegedly rusty. She's a Mandalorian though, so like I expect her battle prowess to be better than the average person,

99
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:50,920
which is probably why she was able to stand up against Shin who would just like, you know-

100
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,920
well, she'd mow down all those people on that New Republic transport ship,

101
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:59,920
but who knows how many people she and Balin had been fighting and killing potentially before this.

102
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,920
You know, it sounds like they're mercenaries for Morgan Elizabeth. They could be generic mercenaries though,

103
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,920
and they could do a lot of fighting and killing. So she's very much in practice. Her skills are sharpened.

104
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,920
Whereas Sabine's aren't because she's been used to just, you know, pouting and driving too fast

105
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:20,920
and threatening the lives of people who she likes with her stupid stunts.

106
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:26,920
I don't know if I'm ever going to get over that Top Gun BS that she did in that first episode because it was dumb.

107
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:30,920
Like on so many levels, but anyway, I won't get into it now.

108
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,920
So, you know, that could explain the difference between them.

109
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,920
And then maybe, again, we don't know the timeline exactly, but Sabine and Ahsoka have been training together again.

110
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,920
And so Sabine is sharper. She's also in her Mandalorian armor,

111
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:53,920
which I don't think it covers the same area in like the lower abdomen where she got stabbed, skewered before by Shin.

112
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,920
But it didn't happen this time. I loved seeing her.

113
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,920
Now that we've seen the Mandalorian and we have the context on Beskar and how it works,

114
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,920
because I didn't know that. I'd never read that in the books.

115
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:08,920
I think I even read the Mandalorian armor and I didn't know. I don't think it was Beskar.

116
00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:11,920
I'm pretty sure they made that up for the Mando, which I think is great.

117
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:14,920
As long as it explains how they can go toe to toe with Jedi.

118
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:21,920
But if you want to hear me talk about that, I'll beg me to re-upload to this feed my Mandalorian episodes

119
00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,920
and my Book of Bulba Fett stuff too, as well.

120
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:37,920
Anyway, so, but I love that like Mandalorians are so cool and so great because they have this special Mandalorian or the Beskar that is lightsaber proof, I believe.

121
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,920
It shrugs off blaster bolts, which is great.

122
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:45,920
And we saw Sabine getting hit by some blaster bolts and they just bounce right off her.

123
00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,920
And she's shooting at these guards, these, were they HK droids there other than the one that fought Huyang?

124
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:58,920
I don't know. By the way, that was freaking hilarious that Huyang and this HK droid were fighting each other and it was like freaking rock and sock and robots.

125
00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,920
That was amazing. Like, I love these droids punching each other. That's so great.

126
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:13,920
And then like Huyang is calling out to Ahsoka and Sabine and the HK droid is smart enough and sophisticated enough to cover up his vocabulary to shut him up.

127
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,920
And like we've seen people cover up 3PO's mouth to give him a talk.

128
00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:22,920
But like, you know, I don't think it was clear that he was...

129
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:32,920
Or if it was just like that's a symbol or a sign for shut up and because he's fluent in so many forms of communication, he knew that and went ahead and complied with shutting up.

130
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,920
So I don't know how that works, but that was great. The rock and sock and robots. That was so friggin fun.

131
00:10:36,920 --> 00:10:43,920
And man, I like Huyang. Again, I don't know David Tennant from Doctor Who, but like his personality is very fun.

132
00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:52,920
And I'm sure if I watched a couple episodes of his season of Doctor Who, I'd enjoy it because his personality is so fun and he's like delightfully quirky or charming.

133
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:57,920
If he gets to be like that, I kind of think he is written like that in the show, but I don't really know.

134
00:10:57,920 --> 00:11:04,920
I don't really know Huyang. I don't know Huyang from who. So anyway, yeah, the rock and sock and robots bit was hilarious.

135
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,920
And I want to know who wrote that and who ordered that to be done.

136
00:11:09,920 --> 00:11:16,920
And if when they did it, they thought if it was Dave, it is going to be a rock and sock and robots moment. It's going to be great.

137
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:22,920
Or what? But anyway, amazing. So like I said, that was a lot of fun.

138
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:38,920
And then I thought it was interesting like the like Balens like, I don't know, he seemed to be either disgusted by the witchcraft that Morgan was doing or he was like, I don't know, impressed by it or he was maybe he was dismissive of it.

139
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:43,920
Witchcraft. I got the force, lady. I'm way better than you.

140
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:54,920
But it's like, I don't know. Can you make can you power a star map with the force like she's doing with her death of Miri or her night sister magic?

141
00:11:54,920 --> 00:12:00,920
I don't quite know. I don't quite know. But anyway, I like their interactions.

142
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:08,920
I like that she challenges him that she talks to him and asks him if he's afraid to fight and kill a Soca.

143
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,920
And he basically says no. And then I love his presence.

144
00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:18,920
So like, obviously, Bailey was written a certain way. But I happened to watch this video about I guess the Punisher movie.

145
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:23,920
It was I'm just going to tell you, get ready to hate me or not. Get ready to hate me or love me.

146
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:32,920
It was a razor fist video and he was talking about this Ray Stevenson Punisher war zone movie that was this Marvel Knights thing.

147
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:35,920
It was like super violent and super gory. It was weird and gross in some ways.

148
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:38,920
But there was also some stuff that was kind of delightful about it.

149
00:12:38,920 --> 00:12:47,920
And especially I don't know if you've ever heard razor fist talk, but he's a he's a joy to listen to as long as you're not going to get your knickers in a bunch over some of the stuff he says.

150
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:55,920
Which, by the way, he's got the worst the worst tag out of anybody I've ever heard. But anyway, so yeah.

151
00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:02,920
So I had an appreciation for Ray Stevenson. I know he died. So, you know, Bobby, it seems like a lot of people get lion eyes when they're dead.

152
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:09,920
We just think all these great things about them, which is probably better than the alternative, which is when somebody said, oh, man, that guy, I'm glad he's got a jerk.

153
00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:15,920
But anyway, it was cool. There was a little clip at the end where this.

154
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:20,920
I don't know if he I think he was like second generation maybe or anyway, whatever.

155
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:25,920
He was a soldier who did weapons training. And he was like, man, this Ray Stevenson guy, I've been around.

156
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,920
I've been I grew up around guns. I've known guns my whole life. I've been shooting since I was a kid.

157
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:34,920
And this guy took to the guns and the weapons training and everything like a duck to water.

158
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,920
And it was just amazing. And I thought that was pretty cool.

159
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:44,920
That's pretty cool that this guy was like either so seriously committed to his job or maybe he was so into the idea of, you know, guns and defense and like everything that means.

160
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:50,920
And I think like when you take firearms safety courses, they treat you to respect the power of the gun.

161
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,920
Like you're not supposed to do certain things. There's rules you're supposed to know so that you realize like this is a killing weapon that I'm holding in my hands right now.

162
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:00,920
And I need to be careful with it not to harm myself or anybody else accidentally.

163
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:07,920
It's a weighty responsibility. And it's something that that is impressed upon you when you first handle a blaster.

164
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:11,920
So our handle a gun. Sorry, I'm thinking about Star Wars.

165
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:17,920
I think about Star Wars and Han handing her that gun. He's like, you know, and being all worried about it.

166
00:14:17,920 --> 00:14:23,920
But my man not go over with her the rules of blaster safety. That's a little disappointing.

167
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:33,920
Anyway, so, yeah. So Ray Stevenson had like a real presence, like getting to see Bailin, you know, mow down people was cool in that first episode.

168
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,920
I love their entrance. It was really fantastic. His little I'm no Jedi line.

169
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,920
It was all really good stuff, right? Like it really made a great impression.

170
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:46,920
But and I don't know if I'm talking about the man or I'm talking about the actor or talking about the character in the writing of it.

171
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:54,920
But the way that he presented himself and carried himself and made his offer to Sabine at the end of the episode was like really impressive.

172
00:14:54,920 --> 00:14:58,920
And I thought, man, this guy is like, this guy's really cool. I really like him.

173
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:04,920
There's something like Dooku's charm. And this is nothing he just really do.

174
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:14,920
Dooku's charm was like almost like a like a political smarmy, like elite charm, like, oh, I'm so much better than you because I'm from this royal family.

175
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,920
Whereas Bailin feels and they call him Lord Bailin, too.

176
00:15:18,920 --> 00:15:33,920
He feels like, I don't know, like he feels like a tested and tried warrior man who you want to listen to and who carries himself with a weight in authority because of the things that he's seen,

177
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,920
the things that he's done, the things that he's been through.

178
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:42,920
And like, I kind of feel respect for him. And I wonder if Sabine felt respect for him because of his status.

179
00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:49,920
He was hitting her with exactly what he needed to to get the map back, though.

180
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,920
And I mean, that just shows his cleverness and resourcefulness.

181
00:15:52,920 --> 00:15:55,920
And he's not just a hired gun. He's not just a hired blade.

182
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:58,920
He's a man who thinks and who knows things.

183
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:10,920
And he, you know, is good at dealing with people. And I don't know if that's a credit to the Jedi or credit to him being rogue and doing whatever it is he's been doing since the Clone Wars.

184
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,920
By the way, I was looking at his armor and Shin's armor some more.

185
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:25,920
And I'm thinking that it might be like a modified Clone Wars armor, like the kind of Clone Wars armor that during Star Wars, the Clone Wars, Anakin and Obi-Wan Kenobi were wearing.

186
00:16:25,920 --> 00:16:34,920
I think it might be like that. And I think Shin's might be based off of his, especially those like shoulder pad pauldrons or anything he's.

187
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,920
They're not actually pauldrons or something else. I don't know what you call those ones.

188
00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:42,920
But anyway, it's interesting. Their armor really looks like it comes from the Clone Wars.

189
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,920
So, you know, hers would be crafted after his because she's so much younger than him.

190
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:53,920
She was probably, you know, she's probably not more than 28 at the most. She looks younger, though.

191
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,920
She's a pretty crazy teenager. But yeah, anyway, that's pretty interesting.

192
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:02,920
Maybe he had Clone Wars armor during the Clone Wars as a Jedi.

193
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:10,920
And then he went off somewhere in the far reaches of space and got diverted and just had, you know, he got used to that and had armor fashioned after that.

194
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,920
I don't know. And then obviously, you know, Padawan copies the Master. So that makes sense.

195
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:19,920
So anyway, yeah, I really liked his performance. I really liked his like temptation of Sabine.

196
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,920
And I don't know how I feel about her falling to the temptation and going for it.

197
00:17:24,920 --> 00:17:30,920
And it's interesting because, you know, he tells Sabine and the Soka, I want you to promise me that you'll stay together.

198
00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:32,920
And they're, of course, we're going to stay together. You know us.

199
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,920
It's like, yeah, I know you. That's why I'm telling you, please stay together. You two.

200
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:41,920
Anyway, but I like that. And I like how you can see the negative result.

201
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:46,920
The result of them splitting up is Sabine can't come through. She doesn't have the Jedi discipline.

202
00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:55,920
She doesn't have the dedication. She's too attached to Ezra to let go, to destroy the map so that nobody can ever find Thrawn

203
00:17:55,920 --> 00:18:00,920
and bring him back and bring war back to the galaxy. So, I mean, honestly, I don't know.

204
00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:09,920
I've got like a big problem with the moral failing of Sabine here where her personal feelings and her wanting to see her brother again

205
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:17,920
means that she's willing to risk the lives of billions of beings by bringing potentially bringing Thrawn,

206
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:24,920
letting Thrawn get brought back and bringing war to the galaxy. I don't understand how she can do that.

207
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:30,920
And I'm going to be real hard on her because like in Star Wars Rebels, we learned that on Mandalore,

208
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:39,920
she literally built a weapon, a super weapon for the Empire that they turn around and use on Mandal.

209
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:44,920
I think they use it on Mandalorians and it like specifically like killed them, but left their Beskar armor intact,

210
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,920
which at the time I didn't know is Beskar and I don't think Palloni did either.

211
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:53,920
So I don't think he knew about its resiliency, but it basically and it left their armor intact, which I don't know,

212
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,920
maybe he didn't know and they wanted to like break it down and mine it or turn it into ingots

213
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:05,920
or maybe use it for stormtrooper weapons or who knows, or armor I mean. We don't know.

214
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:10,920
But I believe that was the detail that left their armor and like that was all that was left of them.

215
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:16,920
And you know, it's creepy. Also, I guess if it just destroys organic material and leaves goods behind,

216
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:22,920
that's also a good weapon to have if you're, you know, evil and you want to reap the resource.

217
00:19:22,920 --> 00:19:27,920
I said reap, okay. You want to reap the resources from your enemies after you've murdered them.

218
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:33,920
It's a good way to do it. So anyway, yeah, so like she's all like Sabine's got a lot of blood on her hands.

219
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:37,920
And I don't know, like and of her own kin. And now this guy's her kin.

220
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:45,920
But then I guess we learn somehow that Ahsoka abandoning Sabine led to her people, like her literal family.

221
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:51,920
I think like her mom, because I don't think her mom died until well, when did her mom die? When was that?

222
00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,920
I don't know what I don't know what Sabine's complaining about.

223
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:59,920
Did Ahsoka abandon her after she started training her as a Padawan, which is that's what it sounds like.

224
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:04,920
Or did Ahsoka abandon her by not being around during parts of Star Wars Rebels that got her family killed?

225
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:09,920
Because I don't think her mom, it's like her mom and her brother, I don't think her dad was around anymore from Rebels.

226
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:14,920
And I don't remember them dying in the show.

227
00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:20,920
But if they did, it was probably because of Thrawn, which you would think she the threat of Thrawn coming back and,

228
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,920
you know, getting more people's families killed would be closer to home for her.

229
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:28,920
So I don't know, man, this lady, uh, me no likey how Davey write her.

230
00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:33,920
She's not making a lot of sense. And I think Sabine is smarter than this, which is why it's so frustrating.

231
00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:41,920
I don't hate the character. I hate the poor writing behind the character that's making them into a stupid, less cool character.

232
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:48,920
Although, speaking of stupid and less cool,

233
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:56,920
people were speculating that when Shin was telling Sabine, you don't have any power or whatever in the trailer,

234
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,920
then Sabine was holding up her hand that she was going to hit her with the Force.

235
00:20:59,920 --> 00:21:04,920
And instead she hits her with a Mandalorian weapon, which I prefer.

236
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:06,920
I think that's way cooler in some ways.

237
00:21:06,920 --> 00:21:11,920
And I like that the expectations were subverted then because people were speculating, talking about the episodes.

238
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:16,920
Oh, OK, at this point, this is when Sabine is going to really kick it into overdrive.

239
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,920
She'll be able to contact the Force and then, you know, whatever, whatever will happen.

240
00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:27,920
So I don't know that this lady's ever going to get any more Force potential other than being able to successfully wield

241
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,920
or I don't know that she'll be able to tap into the Force except for, and I can accept this.

242
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:35,920
I don't know if I already said this, being able to successfully wield a lightsaber without hurting herself

243
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:42,920
and being able to do well in combat against a Force user, um, due to her Mandalorian training,

244
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:46,920
plus having a little bit of a connection with the Force. That would be cool.

245
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:52,920
I wouldn't mind that at all, but I don't think she should be pushing and grabbing and choking and all that stuff with the Force.

246
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:58,920
So, anyway, but if she, I don't know. We'll see where things go because at the end of the episode,

247
00:21:58,920 --> 00:22:04,920
they made the jump in the eye of Osiris, in the eye of Sion, or with the eye of Sion.

248
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:07,920
So I'm really curious to see where that goes and what that means.

249
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:13,920
Traveling through hyperspace can take weeks to get from one system to another and they're going to another place.

250
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:19,920
Is it going to be months? Is it going to be a year before they get to the other galaxy? I have no idea.

251
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:28,920
I'm sure they have an idea and I'm sure there's a big, I don't know, big plan in place, but we'll see what it is.

252
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:34,920
Finally, yeah, I'm going to wrap it up because this has been going on way too long.

253
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,920
I want these episodes to be closer to ten minutes and I'm at double that length.

254
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:44,920
My powers have doubled since we last met, Count.

255
00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:51,920
Sorry. Speaking of which, speaking of Hayden Christensen and his great Anakin line delivery

256
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:59,920
and Anakin of Revenge of the Sith, when Ahsoka fell off the cliff, does that mean she's the fallen Jedi?

257
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:06,920
Or does that mean Bailin's the fallen Jedi? Or is your girl Sabine the fallen Jedi Padawan

258
00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:12,920
because she fell to the temptation of Bailin and gave in to her emotions and attachments and whatnot?

259
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:20,920
Or is Anakin Skywalker, Sky Guy, calling out Snips, is he in the World Between Worlds at the end of the episode

260
00:23:20,920 --> 00:23:25,920
the fallen Jedi that we're talking about? I don't know. I don't know.

261
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:35,920
But I honestly am like I rolled my eyes. I saw Ahsoka fall off and I thought, oh, wow, I wonder how she's going to recover from this.

262
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:41,920
How will Ahsoka return in Star Wars Ahsoka streaming now on Disney Plus?

263
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:47,920
Get the Disney Hulu bundle. Anyway, I didn't know how that was going to happen, that she was going to be OK.

264
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:52,920
I still don't quite know how it's going to happen, that she's going to be OK, how she's going to recover and get up on that cliff.

265
00:23:52,920 --> 00:24:03,920
I also don't know how it is possible that Sabine got pulled out of the World Between Worlds.

266
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:11,920
I don't think Hayden or Anakin was rocking the scar on his eye. And he looked, I mean, obviously he's older,

267
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,920
but looks like the guy's in great shape. And I heard he came back in Kenobi, but I don't actually know that.

268
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:22,920
I don't know how much he was back. We just like voiced a couple of lines or what, because I still haven't watched Kenobi.

269
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:27,920
But anyway, he looked a little different. I don't think he had the scar.

270
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:36,920
Wouldn't it be amazing if Anakin, Revenge of the Sith Anakin, was away somewhere

271
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:41,920
and he fell into the World Between Worlds, because I'm remembering now how the World Between Worlds works.

272
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:51,920
And he somehow pulled Ahsoka out of the time stream and into the World Between Worlds at that time to save her from death,

273
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,920
because he knew that her destiny was not to die at that time, so he wasn't going to mess with time.

274
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:03,920
Or maybe because he's Anakin, he's like, you know what? I don't care. I'm going to save my Padawan. Doesn't matter.

275
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:13,920
And then somehow he gets the scar in there with her, whether alongside her or fighting against her for some reason.

276
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:22,920
And then he ends up leaving the World Between Worlds. And that's when he goes back to Padme and the twins are conceived.

277
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:32,920
That is a Genndy Tartakovsky Star Wars micro series Clone Wars deep cut. I hope you got it.

278
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,920
Not as deep. Well, never mind. Anakin's cut was a shell like that, so never mind.

279
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:42,920
So yeah, I'm really curious about that. I'm really curious about that to see what happens with him.

280
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:50,920
But I do not like that it seems like Anakin was in the World Between Worlds and he pulled Ahsoka into it to save her life,

281
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:55,920
because that doesn't quite make sense. And I know Ahsoka...

282
00:25:55,920 --> 00:26:01,920
I mean, and also that would be the second time she was pulled into the World Between Worlds to have her life saved by somebody.

283
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:07,920
And that feels like a little too much. Feels like a little too much on a few levels.

284
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:13,920
And like it didn't have to happen that way. How else? I don't know. How did Ezra get in?

285
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,920
I was expecting Ahsoka to get in the same way. Or in a similar way, in a parallel way.

286
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:28,920
But instead she like, you know, falls into it, which is super silly. And I don't like that.

287
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:34,920
If Anakin was in the World Between Worlds, for whatever reason, did he fall and somebody pulled him into it?

288
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,920
Like, do you have to be pulled? No, you don't. Okay? That's not the rules.

289
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:42,920
So I think it would have been more interesting if he'd gotten pulled in at one time

290
00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:46,920
and she'd gotten pulled in at a later time as an adult Padawan.

291
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:52,920
Or you know what? In her current state, post-Return of the Jedi, in her Ahsoka show, from that timeline,

292
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:57,920
if she got pulled in or entered into the World Between Worlds, like maybe after, I don't know, whatever.

293
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,920
Make up a reason for her to go in there. She goes in there and she meets Anakin at that time,

294
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:13,920
maybe in an attempt to figure out what to do with this whole, my Padawan is gone, Sabine betrayed me,

295
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,920
gave this information over to these bad guys and now Thrawn's going to come into the universe.

296
00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:23,920
Like, yeah, I would have preferred that. But anyway, don't know what they're thinking.

297
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:29,920
But I'm really interested to see. I really hope all of next episode is just Anakin and Ahsoka talking

298
00:27:29,920 --> 00:27:33,920
with each other in live action. That would be super amazing. That would make me so happy.

299
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:38,920
And yeah, I don't even know what. Like, I don't want them to sit down and have calf.

300
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,920
But I just want them to talk. I just want them to talk. That would be so cool.

301
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,920
So anyway, that's all I have to say. This is an overstepped episode. This is a bonus.

302
00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:52,920
See, actually, this is not, I didn't fail you by going over the time I'm giving you a gift.

303
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:57,920
It's the gift of hearing me talk about Star Wars in such a fun way. Fun, casual way.

304
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,920
It's like you're sitting right here next to me in the truck while I'm driving to work.

305
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:08,920
Anyway, if you've made it this far, God bless you.

306
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:14,920
I just heard you sneeze. God bless you. And thank you for sticking around.

307
00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:21,920
And I'd love to hear your comments based on the episode itself or on anything I said

308
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:27,920
about this episode and, you know, the Ahsoka show in general. I touched on some other stuff.

309
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:33,920
Mostly Ninja Turtles. No, I didn't. I felt like I referenced something from the 80s, but it wasn't Ninja Turtles.

310
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,920
Anyway, that's it. I thank you for your time and attention. Come back for the next one.

311
00:28:38,920 --> 00:29:05,920
Peace out. And this is MJ signing out.
