TV Discussion The Ahsoka Tano Mega Thread Power Hour

It would be interesting to come up with who may be involved in this potential new series as well as what scenarios might be taking place. Obviously the search for Ezra with Sabine would be at the forefront. But what else? Thrawn? Sure. Any run ins with Rebellion/The New Republic and/or Empire/The First Order? Possibly. You never really know. Maybe it could possibly offer some closer to open questions about TCW characters left out like Barriss Offee.

 

If they bring back Thrawn, he'll come with Palleon in tow. Also, maybe Thrawn's penchant for cloning? Maybe a crazed clone of a certain Force user he's been around...? Heck, even a clone of Thrawn himself, just as Bantam had in the background.

No way they go all the way into bringing this many Rebels characters back without Hera. And then we also would have Jacen Syndhulla.

I'd be shocked if some character wasn't brought in with some kind of ties to Rae Sloane.

And there's still Kaz out there somewhere, he could be brought in, and they could totally spin off another fighter pilot series like Rogue Squadron was.

I think there's alot of room to combine what worked from the old EU canon with what has worked in the new Disney canon.

 

Admiral Daala and her Moff-gassing crazyness.

Well let's not get too carried away. I brought up Barriss and Ezra because they had direct relationships with Ahsoka over the canon years. Hera and her son would certainly fit right in.

 

The Clone Wars were saved and we got to see the final season with the long awaited Siege of Mandalore. Then again, not all stories got to be told. I wish so bad that one of the said stories that involves an ancient sith shrine underneath the jedi temple got made. Ahsoka manages to stop Sidious' nefarious plans then and there, barely escaping with her life. Just sounds so dope to me!



I suppose their face-off in Rebels was an iteration of the Clone Wars face-off. Do you think Ahsoka will ever get to interact with Sidious again?

 

Given that the planets Wayland and Myrkr are canon and the Ysalamiri do exist by way of Thrawn's statues I wonder if they'll ever appear on screen somewhere? I know the idea of the Ysalamir has been debated but we've had so many add-ons to the Force lately something to combat it would present a new challenge. Force users are capable of cutting themselves off completely so why would the idea of a species being able to suppress them be so far fetched?

 

I think they should be changed so that they don't cancel people to use the force.

 

Why?

 

Because the force lives inside all things and all life is apart of the force, you do not change that.

 

It was difficult to follow what the video's poster was saying; was he talking about an arc that was never released, or one that was released later maybe? We did see an arc about breaking into the Temple to retrieve the Holocron; but it was of course Cad Bane (hired by Sidious) who infiltrated it. And he was showing images of the Yoda arc from Season 6, where we saw Yoda visiting the Sith Temple while Sidious and Dooku were conjuring up some Force magic over a cauldron.

In the grand scheme of things, Ahsoka didn't really mean much to Sidious other than her being Anakin's Padawan. You could make the argument that his presiding over her trial in Season 5 might've been seen as an opportunity for him to ditch one more hurdle to gain Anakin's full devotion. In Rebels, he only saw her as a means to get to any rogue Jedi who escaped Order 66. He didn't pick up any emotional vibes from Vader the way he did when he found out about Luke.

 

That video is mine, thanks for the critique, I really appreciate it! I am constantly trying to improve the quality of my content so I'll try to apply your feedback for my next uploads. Was the audio fine in the video by the way? I am not a native speaker plus I never did any sort of commentary videos so I do need to work on my intonation, enunciation, less devocing and clearer speech overall. I've been doing some vocal exercises recently. Would be awesome if you could PM me in regards to this (if your time permits), don't want to spam the thread.

I was talking about the unreleased arc from later seasons (between 6 and 7, the 7th season that we got would have probably ended up being season 8 or 9) that Dave talked about during Star Wars Celebration Panel in which Ahsoka was supposed to discover a sith shrine underneath the jedi temple and face off against Sidious, stopping his plan.

I used images from other episodes to illustrate what could have been, if that added to the confusion that is my bad and I apologize.

And indeed you are correct, I completely agree that Ahsoka meant very little to Sidious and at best she was only means to an end to get Anakin to his side as an apprentice. I'd like to think that during her trial Sidious was like: "Well, I don't even have to try do I."

 

Oh I didn't mean as if there was a technical issue with your video and I did understand the dialogue. I just wasn't sure about how you were referring to the unaired episodes while showing many images from aired episodes. You did pick up on that in your answer so that's all cool.

IMO there's really nothing to have been gained by having Ahsoka face Sidious. There's been talk about potential what-ifs; such as what would've happened if Ahsoka went to Malachor with Obi-Wan? What about if she had gone to Coruscant just as Palpatine was revealed to be Sidious? Could she have stopped Anakin from becoming Vader? She'd have confronted Sidious then of course. It probably wouldn't turn out well for her, but she might've sacrificed herself just to save Anakin. Who knows?

 

When you add in the cosmic force, it makes the ysalimirI or anything else force-canceling even less plausible. Even if there’s no life, if there’s matter (or really, anything) then the cosmic force is present. Including in the depths of space. Perhaps a “Nothing” force ala The Neverending Story could negate the force, but I think that might be going too far.

So, a Disney+ social media account just used Ahsoka Tano and Rosario Dawnson hashtags. Is this an official confirmation of Ahsoka? A slip up on their part? Perhaps, though it is important to realize how social media operate. These tags are trending and are being used together by other people so the socical media person likely just optimized the post that way. This still is NOT an official confirmation. Then again, I am aware that with so many different sources claiming that Rosario is playing Ahsoka, it is very, very likely.

It’s possible. At this point I think it’s about 99% certain

 

Going off of the John Campea tweet from a few weeks back, where he said "Blink and you'll miss Ashoka Tano (1 episode)"... he's later said that he believes that she's going to appear in either episode 5 or 6.

(EDIT: The tweet image was large so I just linked it instead of posting it.)

Anyway, I don't know if it's officially been confirmed which episode(s) Dave Filoni will direct this season, but it may be safe to assume that whatever episode Ashoka could potentially appear in he'll be involved.

And minor whines and concerns below:

One thing I want, assuming that she appears and that appearance involves an action scene, I pray they get a good stunt double. Thus far The Mandalorian has been pretty great in it's action sequences, for the most part, at least. They haven't done lightsabers yet though, for obvious reasons.

The one fear I have is live-action Ashoka matching up with animated Ashoka. The character will be older, so you have that excuse. But other than that, well... it's been a little while since there's been a "good" lightsaber battle. Granted, she would most likely be facing someone (or more than one person) without lightsabers, but I still hope they can pull it off well. Please don't be turn out to be a "Rey." Because I was afraid that I wasn't going to buy it with her, and I didn't.

And a concern: head canon.

The Mandalorian didn't have years or decades of fans developing head canon. I feel that's part of it's success. No one knew what to expect, so they allowed the story to be what it was. Hopefully ardent Ashoka fans haven't developed a head canon for her, because she/it's not going to be whatever they've imagined. It never is.

Fortunately for me, because I'm God's bestest angel and made of light, I've never had head canon's. Don't expect anything and you're never disappointed. You can of course not like something, but hopefully because you just didn't find it entertaining and not because of unfulfilled expectations. For instance, Luke was always my guy, had no expectations of what Rian Johnson was going to do. And outside of the lightsaber flip over the shoulder, everything else he did I thought was brilliant. (Yes, I'm one of "those" people.)

Anyway, fingers crossed that Ashoka is good. And I suppose if they do an Obi-Wan v. Maul from Rebels with her when it comes to lightsabers; the less is more approach, then I'm probably going to be okay.

If they have her doing Karate kicks and dope back-flips however... then fingers tightly crossed.

 

An incredible tribute to Ahsoka Tano!

 

What kind of crazy year is this (considering what 2020 has been) that we got one of the best Ahsoka Tano arcs ever in Clone Wars Season 7; AND a LIVE-ACTION Ahsoka Tano episode in one of the most popular TV series?!
