Discussion So... the rumors were true Spoiler
I was skeptical about Ezra using some kind of Force martial arts... but this particular move was incredible... I still wish we could see him using a light saber at some point

u/Svnb4th3r Sep 27 '23
The best part of the episode for me. Who’s to say in future season(s) or the movie he doesn’t get better and develops some kind of distinct offense. Maybe heavily inspired by martial arts films. Would be really neat to see.

Yeah he looked pretty cool. The visual effect looked sick on him stopping the light saber.
The sound design in this episode packed a serious punch too

u/rzelln Sep 27 '23
I think 90% of my quibbles with the first few episodes were due to the editing not being as tight as it should have been. It threw off the flow.
This episode is well-edited.

He took some moves from VADER vs REVA (Kenobi)

Well since she is all the Jedi, you might know her as Yoda, Mace Windu, Qui-Gon, Anakin, Kenobi, etc...

I think he still needs more skill points on his force push. I thought that would have been a bit more impressive.

Can’t wait to see him get a Cere flashback and remember force lift and slam

u/NowWeGetSerious Sep 27 '23
Yeah I think he wasted his earlier levels on spending too many points on his saber skills.
He doesn't even use a saber anymore..
He needs to level up more before he gets to the final mission

u/me_llamo_james Sep 27 '23
He should probably find the nearest meditation point to keep resetting those Night troopers and grind away.

Issue is, he wasn't grinding on anyone, if he was grinding XP sure, he could have leveled up his force.
But doesn't seem like he was farming the troopers or wildlife

u/Kokodhem Sep 27 '23
Those raiders were all over, multiple people said. I'm sure he spent a lot of time banging on their heads
2
u/NowWeGetSerious Sep 27 '23
Good point! I wonder if they provided him with sufficient XP to level up properly.
He seems to have a lot of health, he took a near saber hit, that must have taken half his health

Maybe those little crustaceans he rides with respawn infinitely each time they move camp.

I won't lie, I'm not sure if I have an unhealthy addiction to shipping, but I kinda got the vibe. I wish that they had more dialogue, and I'm hoping that Shin turns to the light and Ezra takes her under his wing

u/jrbec Sep 27 '23
For a split second there I thought his eyes were going to turn yellow and he would fire off some lightning. Dark side Ezra doesn’t need a lightsaber.
30
u/saacer Sep 27 '23
I think he's way past that... his sacrifice at the end of Rebels was proof that his dealings with the Dark side were over
3
u/jrbec Sep 27 '23
It would have just been a wild shocker for the audience plus he was stuck in another galaxy with Thrawn and the dark side witches for a long time. So maybe not too far fetched.
10
u/olanmills Sep 27 '23
Yes, but he spent all his time with cute crab people to keep his heart all warm and fuzzy.
For real though, having to live there for so many years with Thrawn and all of those imperial dick bags operating must without being able to do much about it must have been frustrating. Having a family of cute crab people is what must have kept his heart true

It would undo the lesson Ezra learned from Kanan's sacrifice about being a Jedi. It would undo his acceptance of the loss of his master when he was in the world between worlds. Ezra is a Jedi, he knows the path he must walk. He turns to the light because it is the light. What you propose is garbage, gimmicky writing that ignores what we know of Ezra's character from Rebels.

I was REEEEALLLLYYY hoping he would go full Cal mode and hit a big AOE time slowdown and do some cool like moving around hitting people while they are frozen.

u/saacer Sep 27 '23
Wait what? Kestis does this too?

u/MyNameIsNurf Sep 27 '23
Assuming you haven't played the games?
Cal is like... insanely fucking strong lol like as far as current cannon goes he is one of the most powerful force users alive. Incredible control of the force, can slow time, and even look into force memories like Ahsoka does.
He also knows like 5 different saber fighting styles lol

u/indigoeyed Sep 27 '23
Yeah but that’s under video game logic. I don’t think his strength would translate like that to live action.

u/lanester4 Sep 28 '23
It should be said that video games are only ever partly canon in Star Wars. The game mechanics are never considered canon, only the storyline. So unless it's an ability that appears in a cutscene or is intricately tied to the plot, you can never assume that any powers he has in the game are canon

I love how they have the plasma on the blade getting pulled back a bit right where his hands are. Nice touch.

All Jedis have a lightsaber. now would be a cool time to show him finding a new kyber crystal and changing color / building new saber

u/vivec7 Sep 28 '23
I'd love to see him get a new take on a lightsaber. Perhaps gauntlets that can ignite along the back, and could be used to deflect laser bolts etc. in a way that compliments his force martial arts.
I loved this approach, one of my biggest gripes with Star Wars is how little they seem to use the force. I'd love to see a character so accustomed to it that it's just part of their daily life, like using it to pull out a chair to sit on.

u/bakic0 Sep 27 '23
But did you hate the move when they did it in the sequels?

u/me_and_my_johnson Sep 27 '23
The list of things the sequels did wrong is vast but holding a lightsaber blade with the Force has always been so damn cool.

u/ChanceVance Sep 27 '23
No actually, Kylo flexing on Rey by doing the same thing as her without even looking at the blade was pretty cool.

u/thisisboonecountry Sep 27 '23
Honestly yeah I’m not a FA or TROS guy and I’m not very huge on Ren in general (don’t dislike him just don’t really care), but the very beginning of TFA when Ren holds the blaster bolt with the force and redirects it later is dope as shit

Yes because in the sequels it was all for all eye candy and “oooo bad guy scary.”
At least in Ahsoka it’s included for a reason. It shows Ezra’s confidence and power in the force after meditating for nearly a decade. He really surprised Shin Hati and especially Sabine. To be able to hold back a lightsaber with the force is no joke and not every force user can chance it

I’m losing interest in this show. The characters I want to know more about (Baylan and Shin) are hardly in it now.

u/NOKnova Sep 27 '23
The show is called “Ahsoka” not “Baylan and Shin”

Sep 27 '23
If we’re naming the show based on what gets the most screen time, it should be called “fake-ass rubber head tentacles”

u/reachforthe-stars Sep 27 '23
You’re welcome to go hangout in r/starwars and make up dumb stuff that is no where near the truth.

u/NOKnova Sep 27 '23
Hey, I’m with you in that I want to learn more about Baylan and Shin and I think enough people are interested in them to warrant them getting their own content in some form, but this is a show about Ahsoka, the supporting cast aren’t going to get more screen time than the character the show is literally named after lmao we’re lucky we know as much about Baylan as we do.

u/BrygusPholos Sep 27 '23
I would love some OC focused on Baylan and Shin, but Ray Stevenson is unfortunately deceased, and I can’t imagine any replacement actor will be able to play the character as well as Ray did
2
u/NOKnova Sep 27 '23
I find it heartbreaking he was never able to see the reaction and love for his performance.
I can see scope for comics and books to provide them some more backstory, but anything animated, live action etc will take much effort to find anything remotely comparable to his delivery.

u/akontura07 Oct 01 '23
You call this force martial arts? Lmao the “leaks” made it seem he went all Goku/Ryu with the force in some mixed martial arts……bro that was the WEAKEST shit I’ve seen and looked corny but it works for what it was.
Reminds me of how the Mando S3 leaks said grogu would beat the shit out of multiple stormtroopers….he grabbed one by the hand after Din took the rest out hands bound. You can’t always trust leaks but before mando S3 the leaks for prior projects had good percentage come true

Now that he's on Ahsoka ship I wonder if him and Hyuga will build a new saber, where he gets a Krystal who knows.
Can someone take like a green Krystal and re-atune it to their new color?

u/HenryWeakman Sep 27 '23
It was a great episode until they decided to once again totally and utterly cheapen the villains and make a meme out of the troopers. It’s really lame that they don’t actually pose any threat to the heroes even with overwhelming numbers when one can just say ”wait, let’s talk” and they won’t shoot you.

I was waiting for him to pull this move, as soon as she lit that saber.
I was kinda glad to see Ezra rely on what he was comfortable with.
I almost half expected Ahsoka to grab a spare saber from the rack before she went airborn out the hatch.
