​@@MythicOneOnewhy are you looking at KZfaq subscriptions for a star wars channel before watching the episode?

Bro was flabbergasted

Morgan thinks they’re equals and Thrawn thinks she’s just his Uber driver.

Let's hope Enoch won't be Filoni's Phasma.

I think Enoch was heavily inspired by Aurelian's helmet

Oh gosh I had no idea he passed. He's so good!

Yup, definitely speaks to the two different personalities. I personally liked the idea of Thrawn and Ezra working together to survive, but clearly Thrawn couldn’t stand him, lol.

In that regard, creators can reach out to the amazing EU for inspiration

​@@alpacawizardman6778makes senese

​@@TerminaUltimaI hope its the vong

@@TerminaUltima Filoni has been borrowing heavily from Legends material for a long time, so it wouldn't surprise me. Why create a new threat from scratch when you can use one that was already fully fleshed out?

Yeah. And, living in out in the middle of nowhere let Ezra get his cool hair back.

​@hezekiahmontiel2571his dad had blue hair and he was older than Ezra is now. Im guessing they tried some tints shades or highlights and may have been abit too much in conjunction with his eye colour

@hezekiahmontiel2571 I think the blue was just artistically representing really dark black hair… It’s common to shade black hair with dark blue. Rebels was a really stylized and artistic show, so lots of stuff will look different… like the skinny lightsabers, odd ship proportions and cartoony characters that we don’t really notice until you compare it to Clone Wars again or the live action. They did Zeb perfectly though! I want to see Zeb and Ezra together so bad! I know Zeb misses his bunk buddy !

Yeah. He has respect for it. He knows how jedi just appear out of nowhere and mess up ur plans.

In Legends he did have himself a Jedi 😉

One of the few good things to say about the episode aside from Baylan was Thrawn at least so far seems to act a little more like Legends Thrawn vs. Disney Thrawn. Will never get over the visible irises though

Sure but he’s gonna get his ass whooped and the “heroes” will happily defeat him without much issue because Filoni can’t write live action to save his fckin life

​@@Larry-Lobsterimagine if they destroy him on that isolated planet, without ever returning to kick ass...

Looked like the ones from the clone wars. I was never into legends, what made them so cool in legends? Honestly curious

@@saberiandream316 maybe they'll add them into canon at one point

@@saberiandream316 ah, sounds rich. I hear your frustration about what you loved being torn apart. I don't think ahsoka is amazing, but i think it's pretty good to good! I guess I'm lucky i don't have legends and EU to compare it to. 🤷

Both versions are good in their own right,but the Legends Dathomir Sisters were interesting. For starters, they didnt use actual magic,nor were they Aliens. A fallen Jedi was exiled to Dathomir,which was actually a very beautiful planet. The different tribes were all descended from her,and they could use the Force but their knowledge of what it was and how to use it was limited. To them,it was magic,and thehand gestures and chants were ways for them to focus and use the Force. They had long since learned to tame and ride the native Rancor,and had a society where the women were in power,men were slaves and husbands,little more. Finally the Nightsisters. They were a clan of outcasts,those who had broken the laws of the clans,gave in to hatred and the power of the Dark Side of the Force. Palpatine had an imperial outpost/prison on the planet,and had it erased from knowledge. The main cast ended up stranded on Dathomir,and had to deal with a war between the clans and thr Nightsisters,who were also trying to take over an Imperial ship in order to escape the Planet. Dont get me wrong,what has become of the Nightsisters is certainly interesting, even beloved by many people. But the original Dathomir was precious to a lot of us,and the retcon wasnt easy to accept

Lets get something straight:I dont agree or disagree with it. I liked the original more,and if I had a choice thats how it would have been. But I understand that a lot of people only know the cannon version. They can like what I dont like,that doesnt affect me. In my mind Legends is what happened, im not going to get angry if someone enjoys the new movies,or the other version of the Nightsisters, or whatever else. My enjoyment of the series is not dictated by whether or not others agree with me, the person who produced it,or if its cannon or not

Yeah at one point he said something and I went YEP THATS EZRA

@@Thurnmourer Well, it called "The Eternal City" for a reason. =)

They also reference a similar concept in Norse mythology/heathenry, the Nornir; Urd (What Once Was), Verthandi (What is Now), and Skuld (What Shall Be). These are the sisters of fate who fortell the coming of Ragnarok (which is being heavily alluded to in this series, along with the cosmic wolves, the runes, and even the Allfather himself)

I was thinking about the witches in Macbeth.

@@saberiandream316 It's not his fault that Disney made so much of the EU non canon. If anything he's one of the few writers who respects what came before.

​@@saberiandream316I don't see a hint of destruction with Dave Filoni. You need to lighten up. He is singlehandedly saving Star Wars from the horrid sequels

@@saberiandream316 Source?

​@@chaseronaldo Even IF he's retconning the sequels, what he's making isn't any good. Everything is vague so that the audience can fill it in with their imagination. What little actually happens is idiotic, contrived, and shallow. This is a checklist pretending to be a story.

@ngabel8956 you forget there is a vastly larger audience that watches live action vs animated. So he has to kinda take introduction of characters into live action like they are new to the viewer. He can't just play it off like everyone who sees it has seen the dathomirian witches in Clone Wars, or seen Thrawn and Ezra in Rebels. It HAS to be baby steps and this is so they don't alienate those who think they are missing a huge piece of a puzzle by not watching a "kids show" which is what a healthy margin of the casual viewer will depict animated shows.

Just fn amazing

Thrawn: and finally, do she got a booty? ..... Thrawn: she dooooooo

It would be fitting if the Chimaera has been deteriorating for 10 years just as Davy Jones can only step on land once every 10 years too.

My first thought in response to this comment: "But does Thrawn have a kraken he can summon at will?" Then my next thought: "Oh, he totally should!" In the EU, the Noghri were basically Thrawn's kraken. In Rebels he had Rukh, but just him, not the whole race. But considering he's working with Nightsisters here (Nightmothers?), he should probably gain access to some rancors.

I definitely got the Roman vibes too. This show is nicely blending aesthetics. The Stormtroopers looked very interesting with the mix of Japanese and Roman elements, alongside the golden crack repairs which remind me a lot of something but I can't place it. Maybe pottery repair? And overall I've enjoyed the clear Samurai influence over the show.

​@@thepinkplushieI think it's called kintsugi in English. And I agree with you, I think it conveys a broken but rebuilt. The philosophy behind it is accepting that something broke and rebuilding it with beauty, the implication being thrawn represented that for the empire, a terrifying prospect.

@@17091ira0072 >Kintsugi >In English Much laffing

I thought the same

Remember the times where they had to use Landing Crafts and smaller Ships because Star Destroyers are not suited for atmospherique entrance? Well seems not because otherwhise you would knew that this scene was garbage instead of maybe just show us Thrawn then introduce us to his loyal stormtroopers would be better but people at Disney dont care just rewrite the lore so everything fits instead of actually writing something good

​@@spartan4161well you have extremely limited star wars knowledge star destroyers are capable of atmospheric flight it just requires the power to be maximum as the reactor creates net gain which gives the repulsor's extra power for atmospheric flight

@@Lumantrix they actually rewrote the lore for that lol venator class could do it which is a bit smaller then an imperial class star destroyer but that was OG Star Wars....then rogue one came out and now they mentioned in some newer book or comic idk but yeah they have to reroute alot of power into the engines to keep it from falling onto the planet and since 1 engine and some of the smaller one seem broken on thrawns ship ill ask why he did this since its a risk of engine failure if you take it accurate but yeah be a nerd about it but he is a smart admiral who does no showoff with risky actions ...

Legends lore tells us that they had to built them in space and they were heavy to carry repulsorlifts also it is kind of idiotic to use since you need to shut off your energy shields on lower ship part for it to work but they changed it and now we got this mess and sure there is a canon explanation but tbh i liked the legends way more it already is a strong ship which could easily be used for orbital bombardment and as transport for many landing troops it is a huge weapon platform and carrier unit and there where also different other classes but now because it is so iconic and fans love to see the big triangle we got it everywhere... i mean sure on a planet with low gravity it even could have stayed in Atmosphere for some time even in the legends lore but it would have been an a risk you wouldnt take

@@spartan4161Well when thrawn most likely assed the Chimera he most likely would want to repair the most critical infrastructure so the reactor and repulsor would probably be one of the major priorities most likely harvesting the resources provided by the planet they repaired the ships reactor and repulsor allowing it to once again fly within atmosphere also thrawn wants to initiate a quick mass scale evacuation of all resources he has on the planet so most likely he moved the ship all the way down to the atmosphere and onto the platform so they could get the resources contained within the catacombs to the ship faster and leave as soon as possible as the largest ship they have capable of carrying these resources would be the lamboda shuttle which would take a long time so the star destroyers being close would be a far more efficient option

And yet only a small portion of the stsr wars fandom watched clone wars and an even smaller number watched rebels so most people wouldnt give a shit about any of these characters aside from Baylan who is genuinely interesting on his own, and thrawn, who in this is a pale imitation of the original thrawn from legends

@@alicesaxon601this doesn’t change the fact this series is so much better then all three of those terrible sequels

Believe it or not there was a time when films didn't rely on characters that were already beloved by a mass audience. Films used to introduce entirely new casts and get audiences to fall in love with them. Seriously, it doesnt matter if the majority of audiences dont know who these characters are. The Sequel Trilogy could have introduced them to new audiences and made audiences like them.

@@alicesaxon601 You could say the same about rogue one honestly. So long as they introduce/reintroduce these characters effectively, new viewers will be fine... if this ever gains traction. Being in the middle of this shitshow franchise has already seemingly hit its numbers hard.

No way they introduce something as existential and lovecraftian as Abeloth. Filoni has to keep all of this stuff digestible for general audiences. Besides Abeloth wasnt even popular during the Pre Disney days. She was more of a "Jump the shark" part of the lore. So it's best that Filoni and Star Wars leave Abeloth in the Legends and forget her. Tho I suppose Filoni could change Abeloth to just be a really powerful and scary Night Sister. Give her some of Abeloths qualities, shape shifting and sharp teeth, and have her use magic but get rid of the goddess stuff.

​@@saberiandream316 I swear, as long as you throw nostalgia bait at fans, they'll eat up all the poor writing and characterizations and just giggle in glee at Thrawn being on screen.

What Lucasfilm is doing now is failing because they don't have a story to tell. With or without restrictions. Andor is the only Star Wars that's felt like a story since the prequels. Everything else is a glorified checklist.

​@@jimlittle5769 Some people have standards. Andor got a lot of praise. If you wanna hear more praise, I'd recommend the video "Star Wars cannot grow up" by MauLer, in which he breaks down two great episodes of television to exemplify why Star Wars is failing in comparison.

I got a Frankenstein body part swapping vibe like how the armour is mix and match...and every once in a while a part is beyond repair

They all seem alive to me. I think the leaks have people assuming the zombies are Thrawn's troopers and not the bodies of dead witches accumulating over tens of thousands of years that are being moved into the Chimera...

They may have only met for the first time, but thrawn truly knows Sabine better than anyone because of her art.

@@EvanSolomonBerger Yes, Thrawn knows Sabine primarily from her art. I was stating that this is the first time they've actually met in person. The closest time was in S4 and while Sabine saw Thrawn, he didn't know she was in the Tie Defender until later on. Which is ironic, since Thrawn was fascinated by her art, but she's the last member of the Ghost crew he meets.

Maybe off screen. But he is very attuned to her art and understands her possibly more than her own family

@@Ezramando16 Define how tight you want "face to face" to mean. There was that time Sabine & Ezra took the Tie Defender Elite out from Thrawn at the Lothal airfield, and he pulled his best North by Northwest impression (well kinda) and shot at Sabine with his dinky pistol as she strafed the runway. You could also argue things like Thrawn's transmission to our cast within the Lothal dome asking for their surrender, though it's very vague how those transmissions actually work. I'm just having some fun.

He had pictures of each of the rebels

Hopefully he finds a way to either retcon or invalidate most of the events of the sequels with these ideas.

@@ModuliOfRiemannSurfaces As much as I would like for that to happen, it’s unlikely that Lucasfilm would ever permit that. Filoni will likely justify certain story decisions within the Sequel Trilogy, albeit with better character development just as he did with Star wars prequels but given that the Sequel trilogy ended on a whimper, I’m not sure if that approach will please everyone.

@@Jackal_El_Lobo34 The thing is, with Willow, Indiana Jones, etc racking up such monumental losses at a time when Disney is looking to cut costs, I honestly do think Lucasfilm could try a 180 in an attempt to survive if Dave’s Heir to the Empire movie works well.

It was honestly better before when the New Republic was only implied to be incompetent. They had a chance to turn it around, bring up the villains instead of dragging down the heroes. But they decided to double down. After 6 movies, everything the galaxy fought for is a complete and utter failure. It doesn't even matter if the sequel trilogy is retconned since these new shows are still messes.
