Ahsoka Ahsoka Episode 1.05 - Discussion Thread (Spoilers Allowed)

I was thrilled that Chopper finally got to up his kill count. Sabine sure looked pissed when Chopper could move the tea cup with the force.

 

I might have enjoyed the Ahshoka/Anakin conversation more if they hadn't had Oprah there to mediate.

 

Just got home with a new pair of speakers in preparation for tonight's episode. 3 hours to go!

 

So I am in line for the screening. A lot of people. But I feel I have arrived early enough to make it

 

What a plot twist, I never saw that one coming, I can't believe it... Grand Admiral Thrawn is the illegitimate son of Professor Hank 'Beast' McCoy and Jean Grey!!!

 

I hope this isn’t Hayden Christensen’s last time in the role but here’s to all the Anakin fans who have been eating these last two years. Tonight gonna be special.

“It’ll be a day long remembered”

 

Seeing it on the big screen is gonna be magical

 

Immediately after the screening, Lucasfilm revealed the first merchandise for the Ahsoka show, and it's a character from episode 5. Major spoilers here, so click at your own risk.

Spoiler

 

Ahhhhhh! I can't stand it any longer! I haven't been this apprehensive since the anticipation of Ahsoka in Mando S2.

 

No spoilers please! Keep them tagged!

 

So Diego Luna finally got to touch Jabba in a WBW scene.

 

I can’t take this much longer! I need this episode NOW!

 

I'm a fool. An hour away, and I can't resist spoilers. Anyway, here's an image of one of the WBW scenes Ahsoka sees through a doorway.

Spoiler

 

I (like so many others) have been waiting 40 years to see Anakin as a force ghost

 

You heard it here first.

Forty years? He appeared as a force ghost in the ROTJ special edition 26 years ago.

 

Yeah, but he just smiled.

 

Is this a spoiler or something else? I don’t want to look if it’s a spoiler.

 

It's hard to describe what it is, as I can't tell if it's sarcastic or not.

 

Thanks, Bor. I’ll wait to look at it then.

 

Spoilers from the episode. If anyone really can't wait

Spoiler

• Anakin gives Ahsoka the option to "live or die" as her final lesson, starts a duel
  
  
• Jacen is force sensitive, senses Ahsoka and Anakin fighting in the WBW through the waves, Hera hears it too after focusing
  
  
• Huyang name drops Kanan
  
  
• Anakin breaks a WBW bridge, dropping Ahsoka into a memory. It's not explicitly said which battle it is, only "one of our earliest", although there are twi'leks which likely means it's Ryloth.
  
  
• Her first outfit is similar to the Tales of the Jedi outfit, potentially decanonising the clone wars outfit
  
  
• Anakin is wearing his clone wars armour and has the shorter hair exactly like his clone wars appearance
  
  
• Rex appears in his phase 1 armour in the background
  
  
• The Ghost and the X-Wings are searching the ocean looking for Ahsoka, Jacen and Chopper "find" something and tell Hera to check it out and to "get low". Hera also says "someone can't just disappear" despite knowing Ezra did in Rebels season 4.
  
  
• flashback changes to Siege of Mandalore, lots of phase 2 clones including 332nd. Lots of Mauldalorians, including horned super commandos.
  
  
• Rex is shown with his phase 2 armour, says a few lines to Ahsoka, voiced by Tem. Stunt double in the armour.
  
  
• Anakin appears, saying how he doesn't recognise the battle. Ahsoka mentions it's "after we parted", name drops the siege. Anakin has flashes of Vader throughout, and his saber turns red during a fight with Ahsoka. We return to the "present" with Rosario Ahsoka fighting Anakin, she defeats him although her eyes very briefly turn Sith, however it could easily be the lighting.
  
  
• Ahsoka "defeats" Anakin, saying she chooses to live, before he disappears and the WBW starts filling with water. She gets pulled out by Wayne's character from last episode
  
  
• She wakes up on the T-6 without headband, and after a brief talk with Huyang walks out to speak with Hera wearing the white cloak and a new headband. Purgill fly above them, and she figures out how to get to Sabine.
  
  
• New Republic send their fleet, with Mon Mothma telling Hera to return to Courscant for a testimony as she is being demoted and stripped of her title of General.
  
  
• Carson Teva distracts the fleet, as Ahsoka tries to connect with the giant Purgill. She's fully in the white robes now, it's a very similar outfit to the previous one, however using white and a very light blue. She's also a lot closer to Rebels Ahsoka, hopefully putting all concerns of wooden acting to rest.
  
  
• the T-6 hides inside the mouth of the giant Purgill, jumping to hyperspace. Hera says "may the force be with you" to Ahsoka before the jump is made.
  
  
• Episode ends with the Purgill jumping to hyperspace. No Thrawn, Ezra, Baylan, Shin or Sabine at all.

 

I hope that it is a spoiler. If so, it would be the absolute greatest spoiler of all time!
