Ahsoka Shin Hati

But she tried to choke Sabine two episodes ago. No. I am still of the mind that if anything it’s going to be Shin who becomes the big bad force bad guy

 

I don’t follow spoilers so there’s that. So I definitely can’t tell you

 

No. Right before the episode I said I gave it a 10% chance of Ezra appearing

@A Chorus of Disapproval I’ll sweeten the pot and actually bet something. I am so confident Baylan will not die this season I am willing to put my money where my mouth is. If Baylan dies I will tell you.

 

How about you have to change your avatar to whatever Chorus wants and you can’t post here for 1 month
@Jedi Knight Fett

 

You know that’s close to what I was about to say. But not so harsh. I was going to say he could temp ban me for 3 days and he gets to change my avatar to whatever for 2 months.

I don’t think I could go without posting for 3 days lol.

You don’t have to even do anything on your part @A Chorus of Disapproval you can’t lose.

I am extremely confident I will not lose though. And I don’t even know any leaks on the subject (plus even if I did previous leaks have been proven wrong)

 

Shin was surprisingly worried about Sabine.

 

The Shin/Sabine dynamic is surprisingly interesting and I hope they take it in a fun direction.

 

"More witches" was hilarious.

 

It's such a tragedy. I think watching this episode, spending more time with the two of them alone, it's even more heartbreaking because those two actors seemed to have a real camaraderie and were doing an incredible job of portraying a rhythm to their dynamic. Every single line and look between them screams of this history, care and trust they share currently, and have shared throughout their time together.

If Baylan does survive this season it's going to be a real challenge for them to rekindle that kind of deep and layered dynamic with another actor. Ray Stevenson is such a standout in this show. Obviously it goes so much further than Star Wars but he has been beyond a perfect fit in the GFFA.

Even Baylan couldn't hide his disdain for them this episode haha.

 

I’m sure the shippers’ mouths are watering at the thought of another enemies-to-lovers scenario.

 

I have a feeling that Shin is Baylan’s daughter, but Shin was killed. And Baylan went to the Nightsisters to have her resurrected. And that’s why he works with Morgan. “Well paid.” Not sure of this. But as a twist, it would be sufficiently set up by Marrok’s end and perhaps next the undead troopers.

 

It would also explain why she seems to know so little about anything and the confusion with Baylan's taking to Sabine too.

 

I’m not sure I like that theory myself because I think it robs her of her own autonomy and makes a lot of her character feel like a sham. Her personality/motivations are just nothing but a subversion to further what? Baylan’s loss? I think his loss is already sufficient enough. His payment to me is transport to this new Galaxy. Whatever that power he’s searching for is enough for him in my mind.

I also think it’s just a bit of a step too far to have her be an unmasked reanimated corpse who is force sensitive. I don’t love that precedent.

However, I can see the reasons to think that it’s possible in the text itself so I guess we’ll see if you’re right. I just personally am not a fan at all

 

I think Shin Hati will turn on Baylan Skoll. He keeps things hidden from and dont tell her anything. She is little frustated, she hates the witches, and is wanting power with Thrawn.

 

A power only one has achieved. Morher****er the nightsister do it on the daily

 

Well, she could do with something at this point, no matter what that something turns out to be. I hate to be so negative (because even at its worst, this show is glorious) but she's the least-interesting component of an increasingly crowded story. She needs to justify her presence, or leave.

 

She’s also searching for belonging. I don’t think she wants to be some outcast with only Baylan by her side anymore. Even when he brings up Ezra she tries to involve herself as part of a group, but Baylan immediately shuts her down.

Baylan wants to be free of the Jedi and shackles of a group setting because he’s experienced that.

Shin never has. And I think she’s seeking that in some ways.

 

I still don’t see her coming back to the light.

 

Who to say she is not in the light, she is not in the dark. Is she between.

 

Even Luke has used Force choke on a Gamorrean (!), that doesn't necessarily mean a lot.

Between Parts 1-5 I was trying to figure out Shin Hati a bit more.

Now I am certain that she is starting to question her master's disgust about the Jedi, and she is starting to connect the dots, which is basically that her Master doesn't hate the Jedi.... he just has PTSD from the entire Jedi Temple massacre and everything that followed. So he vehemently opposes anything that has to do with the Jedi, yet at the same time he feels compassion for them, and does not want them killed. Shin Hati is able to observe all these things, and is now thinking that "well maybe the Jedi are not that bad", since she was asking him if he misses the days at the Jedi Temple. Perhaps a part of her would like to restore how things were in the past for the Jedi, and avoid making the same mistakes. She DOES have the Padawan braid.

I won't be mad at all if she changes allegiance. In fact, I hope she does. It would be far more believable and earned than Reva in Kenobi IMO.

You know, if he were to join the Sith, I feel that he should be called Darth Soliloquitous (pronounced as if it rhymes with coitus).

 

Not saying she's necessarily a zombie. But she may have been raised from the dead. And perhaps a part of her stayed dead.

 

I mean that’s quite literally what it would be though, unless they are to introduce some new form of resurrection which is, again, a bit of a step too far for me.

I just always feel that when you put a plot twist before character, you weaken your story. This would inherently make everything with her up until this point far less interesting in and of itself, her only existence in the plot is to serve as extra trauma for Baylan. ‘A part of her stayed dead’, I mean why introduce that, why not just have this be the character and let her grow naturally from this point of dependence? It’s already understandable as is and letting their history be a mystery right now is part of why they’ve been fan favourites in my eyes.

I’m definitely biased on the matter, I don’t doubt that. I just fundamentally feel that doing that twist when you’ve already done it for Marrok and are likely doing again for the Night Troopers in the same way is just too much. And again I can only speak for myself but I’ll be extremely disappointed if her purpose is just to be what I feel is a cheap plot twist to further establish the nightsisters’ powers and Baylan’s guilt. Both of those are well established without it, and just take a really interesting character basically off the board/weaken that character as a whole.

 

Yes, Shin is going to become part of the gang, and Baylan is going to destroy himself.
