Was watching Ahsoka and it seems episodes 7 and 8 are missing for me. I'm in the UK

My drawing of Marrok I did when I was bored buy I really wanted to draw after a long week but I had fun doing this

I get the fandom's frustration with Sabine surviving the stabbing (I know she was most likely immediately hospitalized which is why I can forgive it - her recovery is another thing though). I recently watched the Patterson cut and while I liked some of the choices made to trim the fat of the show, there were some additions and remittances I felt were a bit wonky.

Here's how I would have done it, but bear in mind I'm no pro-writer:

I do think instead of having Shin stab her, have Sabine hold her own for a bit initially (but not well enough to show how rusty she is). Shin has the map so she doesn't really need to kill her, but to tie into Baylan's line towards the end of "impatience for victory will guarantee defeat" we could see Shin toy with her to show her superiority at first but as Ahsoka makes her way toward the highway, she realizes she doesn't have the time for this and wants to end it in a quick and decisive victory. So she really puts the pressure on Sabine (but without that illogical piece of choreo where Sabine is blocking her on the floor - shin could have killed her then and there) with quick and powerful strikes and Sabine starts losing her footing. However, to make Sabine not entirely reliant on her Jedi training, I would have her see Ahsoka making a beeline for them and use that to her advantage, moving out of striking distance so that if Ahsoka needs to take a shot at Shin, she can. Sabine may be hotheaded but she's not dumb so I think this would be in line with her character. The ship closes within firing range and Shin frustratedly books it before she has Ahsoka to deal with (like a wolf being denied the kill of the prey). This not only shows that Shin is at least a force to be reckoned with but that Sabine hasn't kept up with her training in a more natural way with a sense of dread but no unnecessary fake-outs.

This would streamline the first episode in a way that might bring these master and apprentice into having a conversation that gives a bit more detail into their past, and with Huyang present, more hints as to why it never worked out. Here we can have him remind Sabine of her wasting her own time - I really like this conversation because it forces Sabine to open her eyes to her flaws. Also, Huyang is hands down my favorite character in the show. Now we've streamlined the first episode and cut the fat from the second so they can rather dedicate time to showing Sabine mulling over her conversation with Huyang and Ahsoka after identifying where the assassin droids came from while Ahsoka and Hera deal with business on Correlia.

Episode 4 is without a doubt my favorite episode in the entire show because the sense of urgency is there, it's relatively well shot and it's also the episode where things start to happen because of character choices and agency, and not because the plot demands it.

Here we are, my Lord.'' Prime Minister Daenerys Hawthorne says to me, slowly unwrapping the blindfold around my eyes. ''Welcome to our Living Waters!'' Daenerys exclaimed. I open my eyes, seeing the other eleven Apostles on The New Imperial Council, as well as hordes of my Noxian Guard, surrounding a pool of water before me. I recognize this area to be The Living Waters of Mandalore, a place that nobody has seen in generations.

Today, I do not come here dressed in my Mandalorian armor; instead, I come dressed in violet robes, for today is the day that I truly become Mand'alor The Savior. The moment I bathe in the waters before me, I am solidified as a Mandalorian amongst my newfound followers from now until my death. ''Beautiful, isn't it?'' Daenerys asked. ''Such Mines as these date back to the age of Mand'alor The First. According to ancient folklore, they were once a Mythosaur lair.'' She then said. I freeze at that last part.

The Mythosaur.

A beast believed to have long been extinct; for no Mandalorian after the days of Mand'alor The Ultimate has ever seen it. However, I sense something... Living down below. Even from surface level, I can feel a living being stirring in the deep, dark depths of the Mines. ''It was even said that Mand'alor The Great tamed such a beast. Impressive, if I do say so myself.'' Daenerys added on, snapping me out of my train of thought. ''Considering how destructive and bloodthirsty an animal from that time would have been.''

I look around, towards the other eleven Apostles in the chamber. Apostle Canderous Kryze, my second in command of The New Imperial army, is the first to remove his helmet, bowing his head before me. Then Apostle Ragnar Vizsla. Then Apostle Lucius Ordo. And then Apostle Nathan Skirata. And more and more, until the twelfth Apostle, Myra Bridger of Clan Wren, removes her helmet.

I turn back towards The Living Waters, throwing off my violet-colored robes, and walking towards the pool, shirtless, but not completely undressed. ''I swear on my name...'' I begin, feeling water soak around my bare foot. I tense up, feeling a mixture of ice cold liquid and boiling hot liquid around my toes. ''...And the names of the ancestors..'' I continue, walking further and further into the water.

''..That I shall walk the way of the Mand'alor. And that the words of the Creed shall be forever forged in my heart.'' I add, stopping about halfway into the pool. I turn around, and watch Daenerys and the other Apostles kneel. Same with the Noxian Guard and any other Mandalorians that may be present. I take in a deep breath, placing one hand over each shoulder and closing my eyes.

''This is the Way.'' I say, allowing myself to fall back fully into the water. Almost before I am fully submerged, the cold and hot water prompts me to cry out in pain. But I do not; out of reverence and respect for the Mandalorian Way. In a few seconds, however, I find myself beginning to relax in The Living Waters. No longer does the mixture of death-defying cold and boiling hot warmth bother me. Instead, I actually find comfort in these feelings. Like a new burden has just been placed on my shoulders in bathing in this sacred pool.

Art by Uzuri Art Art by Uzuri Art Reopening my eyes, I outstretch my dominant hand, and feel someone tightly grip my metal forearm. Grabbing the individual's arm, I feel my body get pulled out of the water. I take a moment to breathe, just barely holding back a cough. ''How did it feel, your highness?'' Apostle Marcus Saxon asked. ''That... That felt good.'' I reply, still taking in a breath. ''Have you decided what Clan or House you shall belong to?'' Ragnar Viszla asked. I look up at all the Apostles, as well as my Noxian Guard. ''Clan Mudhorn..'' I reply. ''In honor of the one, true Mand'alor before me.''

Pretend he is shirtless here Pretend he is shirtless here Ragnar and the other Apostles nodded. ''Very well... Din Solo.'' He said. From behind, one of my Noxian Guard handed Ragnar a square-shaped object. One that appeared to be burning on one face. Grabbing me by the side of my neck, Ragnar jammed the object into my right shoulder, and I wince, just barely managing to hold back a scream of agony. Ragnar released the object from my shoulder, and I clasp it over the place where I had just been burned, attempting to quell the sting.

''You have truly become one of us now... Mand'alor The Savior.'' Canderous Kryze said from across the cave. ''What was once a Clan of two shall now be a Clan of three.'' Nathan Skirata chimed in. I pull my hand away from my still-hot shoulder, seeing the charred, yet prominent image of a Mudhorn's skull burned into my flesh. ''This is the Way.'' Prime Minister Hawthrone said, kneeling before me. ''This is the Way.'' The other Apostles repeated, soon kneeling at my feet too. My guards simply bowed their heads, dropping the butts of their weapons against the ground and signifying my assimilation.

80 ABY - Cantonica, Canto Bight Apartment

It is morning now. The rest of the city hasn't fully woken up. And yet, through it all, I still hear the sounds of the local Airspeeders and Cantonican Police Gunships flying overhead. Nevertheless, I try to remain asleep, only planning on waking myself up when it's time to take Tahiri to her next pit fight. At that moment, I feeling hits me; a feeling I have carried at the bottom of my soul for over seven years... Guilt.

Guilt for what I let Anakin become. Guilt for the fact that I have to hide from The New Empire in a criminal underground like this, just to avoid getting more blood on the hands of my old friend. And worst of all... Guilt for playing spouse and spouse, husband and wife with Tahiri. A woman who Anakin believes to be long dead. In a way, I am lucky that I've done this; for it has ensured my survival for this long. But the things I feel in doing this cannot be put into words. Especially considering how much the two loved each other way back when..

Just then, I hear something from across the room. I open my eyes, seeing Tahiri still sound asleep next to me in the bed we share. I hear the sound again, this time identifying it as a whisper. Getting up out of the bed, I move as quietly as I can, making sure not to wake Tahiri. Reaching out with the Force, I pull my Lightsaber to my left hand, keeping it close to my chest, just in case anything suspicious happens. Like a group of Noxian Guard barging into the bedroom, should Anakin discover where I am.

I step outside the apartment bedroom, making my way towards the balcony. I peer off into Cantonica's horizon, watching more and more buildings wake up. Life Day is approaching. I have already begun hearing young children sing carols in the city streets, and I have already been seeing decorations get unveiled for the coming holiday. Even Lowbacca is already making plans to visit his family.

I turn towards the far side of the balcony, seeing a small robe hanging next to the wall. I walk towards the robe, and the other clothes hanging above the ground, gently stroking the fabric of the robe with my finger. Then, a voice spoke up. ''I wish we could reunite on much, much simpler circumstances.'' The voice said. Without warning, I turn around, igniting my Lightsaber at my side and holding it tightly.

Teetering on the edge of the balcony, I see a man; a man looking to be in his fifties, with very little hair on the top of his head. And a man who came on my doorstep dressed like a pirate head to foot. Scruffy beige undershirt, his belt crooked with the blaster holster aimed towards his knee. Most of all a rugged trenchcoat. From this distance, I do not recognize the man, but I can sense the Force in him. It stirrs within every atom making up his body.

Art made by me Art made by me ''Woah, woah, woah!'' The man exclaimed. ''Take it easy there, my boy!'' I freeze, gripping my Lightsaber with my dominant hand this time. ''Who are you!?'' I demand. ''And why do you visit my apartment uninvited!!??'' The man let out a sigh of exasparation, throwing his arms at his sides. ''All these years, and you have forgotten me...'' The man said. ''I figured your first instinct wouldn't be drawing your weapon, Valek Kwaad.... Or should I say, Jaden Korr?'' I freeze, letting my eyes grow more bloodshot. ''How do you know my name???'' I ask frantically, unsure as to what to do.

Pretend he has scars across his face here Pretend he has scars across his face here ''Don't you remember when you were taught how to defend yourself with a Lightsaber as a Youngling?'' The man asked. ''When you were taught to seek harmony in the Force, even in moments of doubt, anger, and sadness?'' He continued. My grip on my Lightsaber hilt loosens, and I begin processing what this man is saying. ''You have to remember all the times you complained about those Training Remotes getting to you, right?''

That's when it hits me; that right there is when everything falls into place. I recognize this man now. A man who I haven't seen in over twenty four years. ''M-M.. Master... Nawood?'' I ask. The man smiled. ''It's been too long, my old Padawan.'' The man, who I now recognize to be Jod Na Nawood, my Master in The Jedi Empire, replied. Deactivating my Lightsaber, I drop the weapon and rush towards Jod, throwing both arms around his back.

Jod winced, but hugged me back tightly. ''Your hugs grow tighter my boy.'' He said, breaking away from the embrace. Once we make eye-contact, a look of concern grows across his face, and his smile briefly fades. ''Jaden... Your face.'' Jod said, brushing his fingers up against my cheek, where the explosion had caused my scars. ''Your arm, even.. What happened to you?'' He asked. ''I've had a few rough adventures ever since the Federation fell, my Master.'' I reply, taking one step back. ''Surprised I never saw you amongst The Alpha Riders.'' Jod sighed heavily. ''I've heard of them. Though I was too busy trying to survive the purge on Tatooine to regroup with what little of The High Council made it out of there alive.''

I chuckle, as does Jod, before a thought pops into my head. ''How did you know I was here, Master?'' I ask. ''And why have you come?'' Jod's smile faded once more, and he hung his head low. ''It's about Anakin...'' Jod finally replied. ''I'm currently High Master in his new generation of Jedi known as 'The Jedi Dominion'. And though he believes he keeps a secret well, I see right through his shield of deception.''

I cock an eyebrow at Jod, confused. ''Has he embraced more of the Dark Side?'' I ask, the question slipping my mind before I have time to think. ''Worse, unfortunately....'' Jod replied. ''He claims the title of a Jedi. But he is anything but that.'' He continued, only making me more and more confused. ''He knows the ways of the Sith, Jaden. And his abilities in the Dark Side outshine his abilities in the Light.''

My eyes widen when Jod says this. ''A Sith? Anakin...?'' I ask in reply. ''But Wredd was the last!'' I exclaim. ''That was what you and Anakin both were led to believe.'' Jod replied. ''But Anakin didn't destroy the Sith; he became them.'' I shake my head slowly, refusing to believe what Jod is saying. Deep down, however, I know it's true. I know it's all true; every bit of what my old Master is saying has nothing but truth laced within.

''Is he.. Is he self-taught in their ways?'' I ask, trembling in fear. ''No.'' Jod calmly replied. ''Anakin is Apprenticed to a Master. One who lurks in the shadows of the Deep Core...'' He added on, sighing heavily and looking down at the floor. Finally, after a few moments, Jod spoke again. ''...Somehow, Palpatine returned.'' He replied. I freeze, feeling nothing but complete and utter terror pulsate through my veins. Sheev Palpatine, Emperor of the first Galactic Empire and Dark Lord of the Sith, alive? Again?? That can't be possible. I think to myself. The Archives claimed he died on Exegol nearly fifty years ago!

''I know what you're thinking, Jaden. And believe me, I feel the same.'' Jod said. ''How do you know this???'' I demand. ''Rosh appeared to me in a dream.'' Jod replied. ''He told me everything. From your confrontation with Kyylo on Exegol, to Mustafar, to Coruscant. Even about the alternate galaxy and what happened between the two of you on Mandalore when The New Empire was formed.'' He continued. I pause for a moment upon hearing the mention of Rosh, staring down at the glass floor beneath me.

''Did he say anything else?'' ''Unfortunately, not...'' Jod replied. ''He said something about a flow time and looked like he didn't want to say anything more.'' I purse my lips and shake my head. ''As if the flow of time hasn't already been disrupted enough..'' I mumble to myself, looking back at Jod. ''Does Anakin know where me and Tahiri are?'' I ask. ''Not as far as I know.'' Jod replied. ''Then again.. He does like to withhold things from those around him too.'' He continued. ''Don't worry about Anakin right now, Jaden. Take Tahiri to the arena, and I'll meet you there.''

80 ABY - ''Byss, Fortress Damisch''

I approach the platform on the tramtracks, feeling it rumble and watching, as the platform instantly begins zooming through the tunnel. After a few seconds of standing, I watch the platform slowly creep up to a set of three different flights of stairs. I walk up the stairs slowly, looking down at my feet and seeing the blood-stained spikes on the end of my boots glistening in the faint light. Finally, I approach the top of the third flight, seeing little to no Sith Acolytes, Stormtroopers, or even Sovereign Protectors in the room. Just a throne; a throne with it's back turned to me.

''Lord Electus...'' The voice of Darth Sidious said to me. ''What brings you back here, my young Apprentice?'' I kneel before the throne, feeling sweat trickle down my forehead. ''I have some news to share with you, my Master.'' I reply. From a meter away, I hear the throne room whirring slightly. ''What kind of news?'' Palpatine asked, his voice even older and more demonic than in previous days. ''I believe I have finally found an old friend of mine. One that has eluded The New Empire's line of sight for the past seven years.''

For a moment, there is a pause between me and Sidious, with nothing breaking the silence whatsoever. Then, the Dark Lord spoke. ''Ah, so you have successfully tracked Jaden Korr, I see...'' Sidious remarked. ''And what is it that allowed you to come to this conclusion?'' He then asked. ''My troops on Cantonica reported an encounter with a Bounty Hunter inside Club Tarsus.'' I reply. ''He called himself Valek Kwaad, and yet, the Bounty Hunter matches Jaden's physical description head to foot.'' I add.

''This is an opportunity we cannot pass.'' Sidious declared. ''Jaden Korr is the last thing keeping you from embracing the Dark Side fully.'' I look up, seeing a hooded and almost completely cloaked Palpatine slumped back against the throne, with nothing at all visible except for his hands and eyes. By the looks of it, his current body looks like it was slain years ago, given it's skeletal appearance. ''Might I propose an alternative, Master?'' I ask. The old and frail Emperor grumbled to himself, shuffling his body around in his seat. ''What kind of alternative, Lord Electus?''

''Might I propose that we bring Jaden here?'' I ask. ''To turn him to our side, rather than kill him?'' Yet again, Sidious grumbled to himself, his white, seemingly soulless eyes peering into my own. ''Your father once had a similar goal with your mother, my Apprentice.'' The Dark Lord replied. ''And look where it led him. Let me remind you of this.'' He continued. ''If we can turn Jaden, perhaps he may propel our plan for Project Jotunnheim more quickly. And possibly aid us against Nihilus.'' I interject.

''Young Korr is powerful, yes.'' Palpatine admitted. ''But he, like your friends and family alike, is too engrained into the wrong side of the Force to ever turn back.'' I clench my jaw in frustration, but quickly gain back control of my composure. ''I remember what he was like before Sundari. He followed whatever orders I gave. Killed whoever I told him to kill. Destroyed whatever I told him to be destroyed.'' I say.

''Out of loyalty?'' Sidious asked. ''Or out of fear?'' I take in a slow, deep breath, remaining silent. ''He never questioned any of my orders until Sundari.'' I reply. ''That does not mean he didn't regret the decisions he made. Or, should I perhaps say, the decisions you made for him?'' Sidious quickly declared, rising from his throne. As he does this, I hear several bones in his body pop and crack, signifying the body's current condition.

I stand up as well, no longer seeing Palpatine's pale, white eyes underneath his large, tattered hood. ''I understand you may not be ready to fulfill your father's destiny yet...'' Sidious remarked, hobbling towards me with a jagged, almost broken cane. ''I understand you may not feel prepared to kill Jaden Korr... After all, you have lost too much...'' He continued. ''The anger.. The sorrow.... Without me, you would be a mere husk of a man, clinging for the opportunity to have a purpose.''

I let my jaw loosen slightly, knowing deep down inside what my Master proclaims is true; after Jaden betrayed me on Sundari, I truly had nothing on the inside. No family members that were alive. No friends that were either alive or still by my side, after everything I had suffered through in the past. Nothing. Nothing but my own body and soul, as well as the government I had constructed for the now repaired galaxy.

''But..'' Sidious began, gripping the top of his cane with both hands. ''You will never rest knowing he is out there...'' He continued. ''Or perhaps you have Lord Vader's blood in your veins. Always dwelling on the pain of your past misgivings. Always wishing for simpler times. Always waiting for the day to succeed where those that came before you could not and strike me down.'' He added on.

''And most of all... Always telling yourself the man you once were is dead, when he isn't.'' Palpatine finished, placing one of his dried up, bone-like hands on my shoulder. ''Be patient, my great grandson. The opportunity to face your old friend will come. For now.. Head to Cantonica and see if the eyes of your troops serve them well.'' He commanded. I look down at my feet, hesitating for a moment before I respond. ''As you wish... Great grandfather.'' I finally reply. ''I will not fail you like my father failed you.''

I'll go character by character because I think it's just easier (from the characters I think we'll spend the most time with to the least/not all ofc):

Ahsoka and Sabine: Obviously I first start with the main character of the show and Sabine. I think that now that the people who are stuck on Peridea are Ahsoka, Sabine, Shin, and Baylon, it makes sense that the majority of the next season might focus on them. There was concept art created by Dave Feloni announcing S2 where Ahsoka and Sabine are standing on the Father's finger (fist) which is where Baylon was standing at the end of S1. I'm thinking that since Feloni chose this sole drawing out of all the others he probably drew, it leans towards the idea that Ahsoka plans to follow Baylan's secret plan with Sabine and find out what he's up to. Other than that I think that she'll continue Sabine's training. In regards to Sabine, I think she won't immediatly be mastering the force since I think that "Ezra push" in S1 was only out of stress and willingness to help her friend. It won't come automatically. What I'm predicitng to happen is that both of them are going to run into Shin and her bandits. Or propably the opposite where Shin decides to follow and find out where Baylan has gone and Ahsoka and Sabine follow her.

Baylon: I was sincerly saddened by Ray Stevenson's passing because he was one of my favorite characters. As I've mentioned previously Baylon will defenitly be a big part of S2's story so I think that they might just recast someone else to play him. "The power" he's probably going after is most likley something to do with the Mortis gods. After speculating thoughrougly, I think that "the power" he craves and feels is his wanting to become a Mortis God. This way he can rebuild the galaxy and start fresh since he's mentioned that he doesn't like the way things are.

Shin: She's defenitly coming back. After watching S1 what I really want is to know how Baylon met her and flashbacks to their traning together. A much needed montage since we barley know anything about either of them. My theory is that she was captured as a child, due to being force-sensitive and taken to the Fortress Inquisitorius. There she was rescued by Baylon and seeing her potential offered to become her master and train her in not-so-Jedi-Arts. I also think that she won't stay long with the bandits and most likley join Ahsoka and Sabine out of desperation. Based on what I've heard from recent reports, Dave wants to create a fitting ending to the season in case it doesn't get renewed for a third one. So keeping that in mind, either at the middle or the end of S2, (most likley the end), Ahoska recruits Shin as her Apprentice/Padawan in order to try and train her to control her anger and rely not soley on dark emotions. We already know that she was given this choice in S1 but was hesitant. I defenitly see a redemption arc for her and I quite like it. Now, if this were to happen, then I don't think that both Sabine and Shin would both train under Ahsoka (that sounds stressful :( ) but rather at the end of S2 Sabine reunites with the Ghost Rebel crew and they join forces once more together. She will continue her training under either Ezra or someone else. Then Shin will remain in Ahsoka and finish her training with her. Granted I think she needs it more than Sabine due to that angry temper.

Sorry for the rant but let me know your thoughts! What happens at the end?

I've been curious about where Shin's character is headed in the future season. Personally, I really like her character because she's so mysterious and her backstory is unknown therefore her motivations seem to be unclear.

I think that after seeing how Ahsoka reached out to help Shin in Episode 7, it could be a foreshadowing moment for the next season if Shin decides to turn to the light side and join the "good guys". I have a few reasons for wanting this:

A. Now that she and Baylon have split up and Shin has rounded up with the bandits but is still stuck on the planet I think that she's bound to bump into Ahsoka and Sabine or even hunt them down. This could give her a chance to reconcile with them. (I don't really see her staying a "dark Jedi".)

B. Ahsoka and Shin have quite a bit in common even by the limited amount of information we've been given about Shin. They've both been "abandoned". Ahsoka by the Jedi Order and Shin by her Master. They both have complicated relationships with their respective Masters. I also think that since Ahsoka couldn't turn Anakin or "help" him. Her being able to help Shin "turn good" might help relieve that guilt. Ahsoka also understands her situation quite well being driven by power and whatever else may be driving Shin towards the Sith.

C. While I like Sabine, I think that having her become a Jedi was one of the laziest decisions to ever exist. From not being able to wield any force sensitivity from as late as episodes 5-6 to suddenly being able to project Ezra more than 60 meters into the air is beyond ridiculous. However, since it's been confirmed that she can use it: I think that it would be a chance for Sabine and Shin to have more interaction and a possible relationship/friendship. Ahsoka could train them both and have Shin be a sparing partner for Sabine.

D. Lastly, and most importantly Shin being "mater-less" could lead her down a darker path towards the Sith which would likely lead to her death early on. I would rather keep her for as long as possible in the show since she has many more interesting things to do moving forward.

Watching Ahsoka Season 1 I couldn’t help but feel like it really is essentially Rebels Season 5. The Characters of Baylan/Shin were very interesting, both characters were packaged as neither Jedi nor Sith so people in between the Light and Dark.

But watching it I felt like they were newer Parallels of Maul and Agent Kallus. Reason being is both were Villains when they started out their respective arcs. But towards the end you saw shifts towards them becoming more in between Good & Evil before choosing a side. In Maul’s case he doubled down and chose the dark side via His Obsession with revenge which ultimately met his death in his duel with Obi Wan.

In Kallus case he went the other way and chose to help the rebellion and in doing so chose the light on a Redemption Arc and began to Atone for his time and actions in the empire.

On the surface it seems like most people viewed Baylan as a sort of Good guy doing bad things for good reason and Shin being some Power hungry villain thus setting their stories in motion. I felt it was the opposite.

Baylan seems like he is diving more into darkness seeking the mysterious power on Peridia to the point of breaking his word to not Harm Sabine Wren and Abandoning his own Apprentice in the process for reasons he explained as “Her Ambition” His motivations borderline on Mauls own obsession with revenge where instead he is obsessed with obtaining power to end the cycle of the Force which on the surface seems like some sort of destructive event.

Shin on the other hand shares many similarities with Kallus, both are introduced as secondary standard villains, but later on show signs of being more. In Kallus case he became disillusioned with the empire after being saved by Zeb and seeing how the rebels cared for one another vs the Empire which cared nothing for its own people. Shin showed several signs of being disillusioned with both Thrawn and Baylans plans to the point of questioning her master betraying Sabine Wren when she had no reason to.

Ahsoka like Zeb offered her help instead of killing her like she did Marrok without hesitation which for context at that point she was overpowered and alone 3-1 and would have easily been beaten, but instead Ahsoka does not kill her and after Shin runs away after clearly considering her offer allows her to run away when she could have easily stopped her.

I think the next season will follow this structure somewhat where Baylan will follow his obsession which will lead to destruction and death via some Power or possibly Abeloth. Shin will attempt to find her path possibly leading the Bandits for some time. Before beginning a path of redemption maybe helping to stop what Baylan unleashes and Atoning for her actions along side Ahsoka and Sabine.

Another interesting point is they were named after Norse Mythology where the wolves Hati and Skoll chase a moon and sun leading to an end of world type event. I think Baylan chases the mysterious power which is his Sun where as Shin chases her Purpose through redemption and Atonement which will lead her to be in conflict with the power that her master unleashes which is her Moon in this case.

I love the ground work the first season of Ahsoka laid out and I am genuinely excited to see where the story goes. I think it will go in this type direction. What is everyone else thoughts on this.

Hoping you citizens of the galaxy and children of Dathomir can help me land answers to these questions.

TLDR: I don't understand why the Nightsisters are committed to Thrawn, besides him providing a means of escape from Peridea. Unless they're planning to betray him?

Just as a baseline: I'm an old school Star Wars fan, love current content, watched all of Clone Wars and Rebels, Mando, Ahsoka. Read Timothy Zahn's original Thrawn stuff, listened to the first trilogy of new books, started Ascendancy.

Questions about Ahsoka, in "the most loving, I enjoyed it but just don't have clarity" way.

The Peridean Nightsisters send Morgan Elsbeth a message (off-camera, through exposition). Presumably the message is "There are still Nightsisters / daughters of Dathomir / Dathomiri. Come find us and we'll have a new chance for our culture. Oh also, that guy who wanted your tie fighter design is here, so bonus?". It's also mentioned that Thrawn "woke them up"? Is this explained anywhere?

Being glib obviously, but why are the Nightsisters on Peridea SO beholden ("Yes, Grand Admiral" "Of course, Grand Admiral") to Thrawn? Is it just because they want access to his ship to leave this isolated planet? Is it a long-term double cross to get revenge on the Empire / Imperial Remnant for destroying them in the first place? Understood, that there's a chance they still just blame Grievous instead of the Empire (As Tales of the Empire seemed to imply), but seems unlikely given their powers / wisdom.

Understood that they used their dark magicks to revive his troops... Is it that Thrawn isn't expecting a potential double cross from them in seizing control of this massive revived army? I think of the revived Nightsisters in Clone Wars for instance. But we don't see any actual Nightsisters besides the Great Mothers, so they're just being saved with the collective zombie army?

Why would the Great Mothers of Peridea upgrade Elsbeth into a Nightsister, just to abandon her on Peridea, unless there's already an understanding that it's for the greater good? Even when Thrawn says "For the Empire" , before leaving Elsbeth, Elsbeth retorts quietly "For Dathomir", which seem to imply there's something else going on to service the Nightsisters.

I'm sure a lot of this depends on Season 2 of Ahsoka or the Mando movie but there are just so many questions.

I really love Morgan Elsbeth's backstory, was always a fan of the Nightsisters in Clone Wars. The Ahsoka show is totally entertaining and is an amazing production.

Thanks for any additive thoughts

So if ahsoka ( from Star Wars ) was A transformer what vehicles would she turn into If Jaune ( From RWBY ) was the biological son of a Primarch who Would be his father

I believe that in trials of the darksaber, Sabine was subtly drawing on the dark side of the force (subconsciously ofc), which helped her overpower Kanan. Plus, it looks like she tapped into it again during her training with Ahsoka in 1x03 of the Ahsoka series, however, unlike Kanan (though, it's possible he purposely provoked her into using her emotions in order to overcome her mental block - at least temporarily, but who knows) her master saw it coming. "Ahsoka feared that if Sabine unlocked her potential, she would become dangerous." 👀

Hera experienced alot of Heartbreak also she doesn't want to history to repeat. I Mean she had run ins with Thrawn. I really appreciated her character the so called fans wouldn't have complained if it was Jyn, Cassian or Bodhi Rook defying Senator Xiono.

Is it ever explained why Ezra Bridges happens to be on the same planet in the same distant galaxy as Grand Admiral Thrawn? How did he get there and howcome it's the same place that Thrawn is in?

I'm watching Ahsoka now, almost finished with it, and I just don't get this. The show's main plot is clearly about the imperial remnants trying to get Thrawn back from that other galaxy, but somehow Bridges also happens to be there so that we can conveniently have a secondary parallel-plot involving Sabine and her fondness for Bridges?

If I missed something, do tell me.

!Adult Omega for one, she's friends with Hera, could see her helping out Hera with Thrawn and his forces. Then you also have an older Ventress, why Ventress? because Dathomir is being active again, she would go to investigate logically what these extra-galactic Nightsisters are doing and all these apparent night sisters and brothers in the catacomb pods. And of course Ventress and Omega know each other. It just seems logical to pick up from those threads and of course Boba and Omega still have to meet. This is also further build up to the movies bringing all these characters together for the finale. !<
