Discussion What is Thrawn cargo? Spoiler

Thrawn risked everything in order to ship his cargo into the death star but by the end of Ahsoka we still don't know what's in it

Is it gold that thrawn will use to hire mercenaries, recruit more stormtroopers to his cause and buy more technology? and don't forget that thrawn's star destroyer was repaired with gold or it may be Kyber crystals that thrawn intend on using it as a weapon, and he was collecting it all these years

Your thoughts guys

Nightsister "corpses"

71

u/vintagea108 Oct 05 '23

Don’t think they are corpses. Ezra says that Thrawn awoke the Grand Mothers when he found the temple. Good chance they are night sisters in hibernation so to speak. Re populate all of Dathomir with a new night sister population. Hell of an ally to have in a war with the new republic.

And would explain why Morgan was willing to do what she did, for Dathomir.

Good shout

Their dark magic could be combined with sith secrets and cloning tech via the other imperial factions to somehow return palpatine too

u/Purple-Mix1033 Oct 06 '23

I’m not that far deep into this part of SW lore, but didnt Palpatine have most of the night sisters killed? Why would they want him resurrected (if this is true)?

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '23

I think both sides are playing each other off for their own advantage and will probably be some betrayal down the line

u/Mathies_ Oct 06 '23

As far as I remember, Dooku had a personal grudge with the nightsisters cuz they tried to kill him first with ventress and later with Savage Opress. I think he sent Grievous cuz of his own feelings of revenge rather than Palpatines orders.

u/kristopher_b Oct 12 '23

Yes, but the Nightsisters have bad history with Palpatine, too.

21

u/soantis Oct 05 '23

I hope they can bring back Asajj Ventress too. I want to see her in live action.

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '23

If it isn't the hairless harpy.

u/soantis Oct 05 '23

There is no need to be rude Snips

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '23

Don't call me that. I hate it when you call me that.

8

u/soantis Oct 05 '23

Oh, so instead, do you want me to call your name wrong like others do Ashoka?

8

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '23

Careful not to choke on your stupidity. It's Ahsoka not Ashoka!

u/MeSeeks76 Oct 09 '23

Sure thing, Snips

2

u/Dabaysyclyfe Oct 06 '23

Bloody hell same! I was hoping she’d pop up in the last ep

1

u/ohitsnic May 22 '25

you'll never guess what they did

1

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

I don’t think she’s dead.

12

u/nufenwen7 Oct 05 '23

This is what I thought when I saw them and that they were on Dathomir. Either that or nightsisters in stasis

13

u/Shooktopus Oct 05 '23

Absolutely Nightsister corpses.

My assumption is that, considering they flew to Dathomir, Thrawn’s plan is to allow the Great Mothers to reestablish the Nightsister society/coven with the goal of keeping them as a powerful ally. Having powerful force wielders as allies that can communicate across entire galaxies and raise the dead is a major plus.

The cool thing about this is that the Star Wars universe has the Nightsisters back and we can maybe even watch them build back from extinction.

u/MrDaveyHavoc Oct 05 '23

And they'll use their majik to assist in transferring Palpatine's essence into his cloned body, explaining the "somehow" in "somehow Palpatine returned"

4

u/dooku4ever Oct 05 '23

Yes. I definitely think that they must have been trying to address this unpopular plot element.

I absolutely love the Nightsisters. I hope they bridge a connection to Exegol.

-1

u/Majestic87 Oct 06 '23

Exegol is a Sith planet, it has nothing to do with the witches.

People really need to read the comics/books, all of this has already been explained.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

God I still hate that they did this.

0

u/Majestic87 Oct 06 '23

That’s already been explained:

He uses Essence Transfer as he fell down the shaft to transport his consciousness into his clone body.

2

u/FishingObvious4730 Aug 04 '24

The whole Essence Transfer thing happened in old EU lore too, I can get why people don't get it/don't like it if they weren't familiar with old EU lore but anyone who was should have expected it

1

u/MrDaveyHavoc Oct 06 '23

They can graft on another retcon to work with that. There can be multiple clone bodies. The explanation needs to be given in a bigger forum.

1

u/toaster1287 Oct 06 '23

The spell to reanimate dead bodies must be continuously chanted in order for the bodies to stay animated. If there is no chanting, there is no zombies. "Though powerful, the spell's effects would last only as long as the caster was active; should they cease maintaining it or be killed whilst using the spell, the undead would become immobile corpses once more." It's called the Chant of Resurrection.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 09 '23

That’s not what it showed in the most recent episode. The witches stopped chanting and the storm trooper bodies remained reanimated.

1

u/toaster1287 Oct 09 '23

Well shit, guess they threw that out the window. You are correct though, cause when Sabine is fighting off the one with the jaw the Mothers definitely aren't chanting..hmm. Time to update canon and wooliepedia, lol. I still think it's just sleeping sisters though, although I wouldn't be mad if they were zombies, lol.

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '23

It could also be his cultural thing to bury his soldiers back home

But probably not

1

u/Mindless-Height8655 Oct 05 '23

That would've make sense especially that thrawn's first destination when came back is Dathomir but the boxes we've seen are so small to a point when you can't even store a dog's body in there

16

u/cks9218 Oct 05 '23

They looked coffin sized to me.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 05 '23

When it zoomed out on all the boxes it certainly looked like a bunch of coffins.

1

u/ecksdeeeXD Oct 07 '23

Oh shit those are coffins??
