    It's more of a case of them saying no to The Emperor in that particular scenario.

    I'll respond with what I said in the "Grade episode" thread, to continue the discussion:
    My take on that is SW doesn't have to revolve around Luke. Just because Ezra "defied" Palpatine by not taking the bait that he can reunite with his parents has far more to do with Ezra's maturity than it does with well only Luke is the one who cannot be brainwashed by the Emperor. It was a very emotional scene, and I'm glad it was included. Ezra's journey began because he sought to find out the truth about his parents. It's appropriate that it reached the climax by that scene, where he meets his most powerful adversary, that they play a role in it.

    So Sabine and Ahsoka have to go looking for Ezra, just the same as Rey had to go look for Luke. Anyone want to take bets on what color milk Ezra's been having to drink to survive?

    You know, that's been one of the things I've found tragic about these kids. They've got robbed of their childhood! What Ezra and Sabine went through, is nothing a teenager or young adult should ever have to endure!

    My bet is purple milk.

    I really want some sitcom with Thrawn and Ezra as roommates or something

    I am wondering what happened after they went to ... wherever it is they went to. Filoni said Ezra's still alive, and we know that Ezra doesn't tend to stay in jail for too long (I wonder if Thrawn, knowing that, would have even bothered.) So either Ezra escaped the star destroyer, or the two came to some sort of accord (which would be better for Ezra, since wherever they went, probably doesn't have anyone he's remotely accustomed to interacting with.)

    Honestly I feel like the only reason why Sheev managed to brainwash Anakin was due to Anakin's own particular "issues" making him more susceptible to it (I mean Sheev was practically spelling out that he was a Sith at points, and Anakin still didn't catch onto it). Luke and Ezra, don't really have those same issues, so Sheev's "sales pitch" doesn't work as well on them.

    Plus the fact that Anakin figures that if he can't necessarily go to the Jedi for guidance, his friend the Chancellor is the next best thing.

    Three questions I had about the finale:
    1. Why did Ezra HAVE to leave with the purrgils?
    2. Why did Ezra simply not return or why not have the purrgils bring him back?
    3. Why not simply eliminate Thrwan there and then? Why was it necessary to leave with him?
    Narrative flaws that arose as I was watching and have bugged me ever since. Thoughts?

    1: because he's not in the OT.
    2: see 1
    3: because neither Thrawn nor Ezra are in the OT, and Filoni has not the gonads to kill either of them.

    The fans would despise him if he had killed Thrawn.

    True, but plenty despise him already for not killing Ahsoka or Ezra.

    Which is silly, there is to many bloodthirsty star wars fans who don't care about the directions, "Oh I want mehhh deaths" that is pretty much it.

    Or on the other hand perhaps they do care and to them she must die for continuity

    But it's a yes or no thing. Its not open to the fans for interpretation - she survived. It's fine that people don't like it, though I don't understand why. I think "headcanon" is getting out of control. To each their own, I suppose. What's important to me is how they continue the story and explain the hows and whys. It shouldn't be political or philosophical if it's already spelled out. This isn't something they're going to forget about and not address.

    Which shows THEIR lack of imagination/creativity, not Filoni's. Because he found a way to keep her alive AND explain why she wasn't in the OT (same with Ezra).

    to be fair, we have the explanation for Ezra, Sabine, and Thrawn's abscence, but Ahsoka was sort of a tag on to the epilogue. She isn't a jedi by Yoda's considerations - that should be good enough, but some still take offense that she's still around. There will undoubtedly be more of her story, we just have to wait. Unfortunately, we'll never hear the end of how other people think Star Wars should be, and how Star Wars doesn't live up to their respective expectations.

    Just because there is an explanation doesn't mean everyone has an obligation to think it's a good or well-written explanation or else they're just jealous, bloodthirsty, unimaginative haters.

    You know, why did they show Ahsoka at the end there? It would have made more sense just to have that portal dump her onto some unknown world somewhere and she'd be out in nowhere just like Ezra...which would conveniently explain her absence in the OT.

    There are ways to explain her absence anyway like her being stuck on malacore for a long time.

    She should be absent. Her existence put others in dangers. Plenty reasons to chill, Ben Kenobi-style, until the war is over.
