It’s my head cannon that Morgan just hadn’t gone through the Nightsister rite of passage similar to the one Ventress puts Quinlan through in dark disciple. Upon rewatching the episode, her markings almost look painted on, so maybe she was gifted the powers as she trains/prepares to face her final test before being baptized into the clan properly. And when she does receive the gifts from the three mothers on Peridea the markings definitely look more permanent.

"Anyone who collects Lego probably has a Millennium Falcon somewhere" Meanwhile: Me, who collected Lego Star Wars for around 13 years and never once bought any iteration of the Millennium Falcon... (although admittedly, I was very tempted by Lando's pristine Falcon from Solo)

I bought the Force Awakens falcon but it fell off my shelf several years ago and I never got around to putting it back together

Nightsister magic has weird rules, but Merrin probably learned the magic while Morgan was “given” her magic by Talzin via her tattoos, and they were taken away when the connection was broken

@TheRealCodeBlack Ай бұрын

I figured the difference was just that Morgan was given power by the Nightsisters but hadn't fully learned it, so when the Nightsisters' spells failed she lost the power they gave her, whereas Merrin didn't just share in the sisters' collective spells but actively had to learn and maintain all of those spells herself. Essentially, Merrin kept her magic because she was able to actually put in the work.

Star Wars should post an article or something 6 months or whatever after a show drops sharing all the little production easter eggs like the matte paintings and stop motion stuff, you know the type of stuff that would come on dvd extras. With enough time post the show, some may go back and watch again now looking for the details.

@nicoaldaco5351 Ай бұрын

Maul tells Ezra in rebels that the night sisters use an aspect of the force but it was their connection to the planet that made them powerful. Loth wolves also have a deep connection to lothal. Merrin stays and Morgan leaves so I think it makes sense. Windu calls magic an illusion and death can make it go away, just like savage returns to normal at his death

@zephyr835 Ай бұрын

Also, if it's related to the Force: "Talent is a factor." Maybe some, like Morgan, have less affinity. Most of the Nightsisters we've seen just use weapons.

So regarding the Pellaeon issue, the subtitles on the episode spoiled the fact it was Pellaeon and I have never read 'Thrawn: Treason' before this. So I just thought that TOTE Episode 2 took place sometime between Thrawn's promotion to the rank of Admiral (whenever that is in the timeline) and Rebels season 3.

@TomK_421 Ай бұрын

@mightheal Ай бұрын

The way I interpreted what happened to Morgan was that the tattoos that disappeared were just a buff that was applied to her and she never knew or bothered to cast the spell to apply the buff back onto her whereas Mirin was a pretty experienced Nightsister before the fall so she would have put the buff on herself at some point.

In-universe, it’s probably the same explanation as the one we have for the two different AT-AT designs we see between the movies, Rebels, and Fallen Order.

Another point for Morgan maybe being a human: most Nightsisters don't have last names, but she does, so maybe that comes from her and her mother's human side. Yes, Asajj Ventress also has one, but maybe she got it on Rattatak. Idk if any other Nightsisters have last names

@Bas-TB Ай бұрын

Savage had probably the Opress as his last name. So maybe it is Thalzin Opress, Maul Opress & Feral Opress? Maybe even Merrin Opress, the woman In Talzin’s clan might all be family. And in a matriarchal society last names are probably those of the mother.

Q&A: Do you think people quite don't understand Barris's character development on Tales of the Empire that she had to leave the Inquisitors because she felt like she needs to help people for peace? We know that she had a reason that she bombed the Jedi Temple, framed Ahsoka, and call the Jedi evil due to the war going on in The Clone Wars and we know that she she didn't harmed a single innocent civilian in The Clone Wars. We did saw Barris definitely did betrayed the Fourth Sister wasn't due just to helping a wounded Jedi, but we definitely saw that she did that due to the Fourth Sister killed those innocent people for hiding a Jedi and Barris find this as Chaos instead of Order. We know that her realization in that mission that she clearly made a huge mistake believing the Jedi aren't the ones truly hurting innocent people, it was the Empire doing this.

@tommyp440 Ай бұрын

She absolutely is to blame for the people killed in the bombing. Civilian workers, clones, and Jedi. And then when Letta Turmond tried to sell her out, she killed her too. I think she had conflicting emotions, she believed she was just in her cause but felt some level of guilt for what she had done to Tutso Mara and Ahsoka.
