This is definitely Marrok.
Think about it!
Body type: ✅
Story✅
Fighting style✅
Species prediction✅
Lightsaber✅
Timeline✅
Fallen jedi✅
And they already included Marrok in ahsoka s1 and maul s1 so it would make sense that they explore his story before maul s2 and explore it more there to get the hype for maul s2 up!!!
So, how many imperial forces Thrawn has under his command in season 2?
There are at least 6 imperial star destroyers together at same place(Dathomir) and one of them is clearly the Chimera.
Thrawn Cleary got some imperial supporters and "allies" from others in the shadow council, at least some of them, definitely Pealeon.
The thing is, Thrawn decelre war on the new republic(sweetly he referred them as the "rebels alliance"), so Thrawn, despite as brilliant as he is, won't genuinely get to full our war immediately if he hasn't the support of enough forces, and he's definitely don't want imperial civil war.
So, do you think the council agreed following his orders/give him authority over them? Obviously some stabs backs and stuff will always be, but as season 2 start, you think most imperial remnants will be under Thrawn leadership or his own faction is not that big.
Shin vs Huyang in the teaser
Okay maybe this is just me projecting my hopes and dreams and wishes, BUT.
I think that scene in the teaser is an intentional misdirect. I think Huyang is helping to train Shin. I think she's going to side with Ahsoka and Sabine, and it'll be fairly early in the season that it'll happen. I cannot see her allowing Baylan to just abandon her on that planet without trying to find him. And I think she's going to seek out Ahsoka and Sabine and team up with them to try and find him.
Ahsoka offering Shin her hand and saying "I can help you" in S1 wasn't a throwaway line. And I think we're going to see Shin take that offer in S2.
Thoughts? I'm loving all the discussion on theories but haven't seen this one bandied about yet, so I figured I'd throw it out there!
With all the night sisters story we are getting, which is great, anyone hope will see Zabraks/night brothers involved as well?
I know Zabrak are like pure Dathomirians and exist in more than one planet, and only the clen in Dathomir with the night sisters can be considering night brothers, but regardless, I feel like see some Zabrak warriors could be very cool, there are no many of them anymore, but with the resurrections stuff all those night sisters, we can see it for Zabraks as well.
Also, I think few Zabraks actually joined the rebellion/new republic during and after the galactic civil war, if they problems if night sisters magic, those Zabraks can potentially help.
Ray…
Seeing the new Ahsoka teaser led me to rewatch the first season which made me remember how the passing of Ray saddened me.. seriously he was such a delight to watch him on screen. Such a presence and always a joy listening to. The fight scenes were intense. He really made the show for me.
It also saddens me that we will never experience his performance in the new season. The character was something Star Wars has needed for a long time. As much as I’d like to see him again using deepfake would be insulting to his great performance so I guess the recast was the only possible choice…
Rest well Ray Stevenson
I recolored the trailer of Ahsoka to make it brighter and less gray
youtu.beThere is absolutely no reason for Han Leia and Luke to be missing from Ahsoka Season 2's events and its a perfect opportunity for them to be recast
Ahsoka Season 2: Could the Mandalorians Help Defeat Thrawn?
Question: Do you guys think there’s a possibility that Din Djarin and the Mandalorians could become involved in Ahsoka Season 2 and help Ahsoka defeat Thrawn?
It actually makes sense when you consider Ahsoka’s history with Mandalore. She played a huge role in Siege of Mandalore during the Clone Wars, fought alongside Bo-Katan and the Nite Owls, and later became connected to Sabine Wren, who is both her apprentice and a Mandalorian.
My theory is that Thrawn’s return could eventually become a threat not just to the New Republic, but also to Mandalore. If Thrawn and the Imperial Remnant start expanding their influence, the Mandalorians would have every reason to fight back. Din, especially after everything he went through to reunite the Mandalorians and help establish a new future for his people, could potentially bring Mandalorian forces into the conflict.
And with Sabine now being stranded in another galaxy alongside Ahsoka, I could see Din and the Mandalorians becoming part of the effort to bring them home or at least helping fight Thrawn from the main galaxy while Ahsoka and Sabine deal with him in the Peridea storyline.
Ahsoka S1 rewatch thoughts
Howdy Ahsokers,
I've just started a rewatch of the show to refresh my memory for season 2 and, having just rewatched Andor, I have thoughts about the first episode in particular.
Preface this by saying that I've watched Rebels and really enjoyed it.
- Ahsoka is a live action animated series.
How can something be both live action and animated? Watching episode one again, I was struck how the characters are just kind of puppets moving wherever is needed for the story and not really mattering all that much.
Additionally, there is almost zero subtext. I think because the audience of animation tends to skew younger, character motivations are less complex. I think Ahsoka suffers greatly from this. What you see is what you get. To some degree, animated characters can't project the range of Microexpressions that human actors can, and that prevents more complex character emotional arcs, especially minute to minute and second to second. You have some great actors in Ahsoka but I feel like you're cutting off a lot of their expressive range by covering them in makeup and prosthetics, trying to make them look just like their animated source characters.
- Dave Filoni is kind of a lousy director of live action. He completely let the Macguffin take over the show. Ahsoka is introduced at the temple finding the star map (showing almost no emotion or telling us about who she is before this mission, something that is very different from her characterization in Clone Wars) and it really stood out to me in the scene where Sabine is figuring out how to unlock it.
In that scene, once she starts working on the orb and the machinations begin, the camera does not cut away from it to show Sabine or her reaction. It could have been shot entirely with a hand double. This tells me that the character, Sabine, who seems like she is the real protagonist (in a show named after Ahsoka, amiright) matters less than the doohickey that she's fiddling with. No reaction at all. We don't know what it means to her to be solving this puzzle, or how she's reading to the obstacles in her way.
Plus, the colour palette is drab and dark and there isn't very much contrast (either a cinematography or colour timing beef, but as the show runner, Filoni is responsible).
(EDIT: seeing some of the footage from the trailer, it seems like season 2 is going to continue this.)
Again, I might not have noticed any of this if I hadn't rewatched Andor recently, but Ahsoka has none of the humanity and character beats that made me (and many of its viewers) fall in love with Andor.
EDIT: So it's not all shade, I LOVE the end title music and love that we can hear the whole thing, I actually wish we got more of the folk-like strings in the rest of the show, which I think is good but pretty generic Star Wars. I also think the graphics for that end title sequence are fire.
I hope season 2 is better!
Rosario Dawson & Hayden Christensen Tease an Intense Season 2 of AHSOKA
youtube.comSabine Season 2 Look
What do you think of it?
Her appearance makes me think of three things lol.
1, her appearance is derived from Ezra’s again. Her hair is shaggy like his in season 1. Her armor color references him and her.
2, it references Shin. Both of them have medium length and shaggy hair white. This is definitely not a coincidence.
3, I’m not surprised by it. I did a drawing test for her hair and appearance in season 2 a few months ago.
https://www.reddit.com/r/StarWarsAhsoka/s/L84oF2ekG4
I predicted the third hair style would look the best on Natasha Liu Bordizzo Sabine. The second drawing is a longer version of her season 1 Rebels hair lol. Sabine’s hair in Rebels doesn’t work for Natasha. If you look at Hot Toys of Sabine based on season 4 Rebels and Natasha, Sabine translated directly from animated looks like a karen or a emo girl lol. And it’s funny because she looks a lot like Rebels Sabine. I’m not surprised they went with an original haircut that is similar to her season 1 Ahsoka long hair. Season 1 was mostly muted or desaturated white, so it was not helpful and helpful for my art. I’m glad I was able to predict some stuff with my art. I predicted she would change her costume to fit Peridea and she would make changes based on Ezra. I can’t predict too much because my art style and philosophy is not like Star Wars’.
I think I will do an art of season 1 Rebels Sabine in live action.
I get this idea her appearance is meant to make her look sad and like a ghost because she blends into the desaturated white color of Peridea. I speculated she would still be thinking of Ezra and it’s possible it translated into sadness rather than just longing.
For a joke, it would be fun if Shin tells Sabine she looks like shit like a catty bitch lol and for lesbian jokes 😂
Things from Rebels I'd love to see more of in S2
Ezra trolling people with his voice mimicry ability. It's neat he has a honed skill completely seperate from his Jedi Training.
Anti-Jedi/Sith Mandalorian gear. I feel like Sabine's gonna need it going up against Baylan and Hati, and maybe the Nightsisters.
Chopper's many war crimes.
Hera's Kalikori with Kannan's pendant. Don't remember seeing it in season 1.
Edit: 5. Return of the Blaster-lightsaber.
Dream casting for Karyn Faro, Eli Vanto, and Admiral Ar'alani in Ahsoka Season 2
Looking at the trailer, Karyn Faro feels like a real possibility for next season. Eli and Ar'alani are probably a stretch, but a fan can dream, right?
Who would you like to see play them if they actually show up in live-action?
Yeah Huyang, we see how it is
We weren't hitting the Grevious Pose to protect a shipful of younglings from pirates, were we now?... 🤨 please don't say something like "General SHINobi"
D23 Ahsoka Season 2 Costume
Hi other Ahsoka fans! Here are some close up looks at her new costume.
Some things I noticed are the new emblem on her belt, a slightly different shape of the belt in the front, and I believe a new headband. What else do you notice?
The Gladiator-Class is now Canon [Ahsoka S2]
(Yes, it already was in Canon source material, but not on screen.)
In the new teaser trailer for Ahsoka Season 2, several new ship classes can be spotted around the Corellian shipyard that was already shown in Season 1. One of the most interesting ships is a Star Destroyer that strongly resembles the Gladiator-Class Star Destroyer from Star Wars Legends.
Evidence for the Gladiator-Class
Below the left TIE Bomber, you can clearly see a wide gap separating the front section of the Star Destroyer from the rest of the hull. This distinctive break is one of the characteristic design features of the Gladiator-Class.
The bridge provides another clue. The shield generators appear to be integrated into the bridge structure, which is consistent with the design of the Gladiator-Class. Interestingly, this detail also resembles FractalSponge's interpretation of the ship. FractalSponge has previously created ship designs for official Star Wars reference books.
You can also make out three distinctive main turbolaser turrets, which are another characteristic feature of the Gladiator-Class.
The Boarding Pods
Another particularly interesting detail is the boarding pods seen in the teaser. Their apparent function strongly resembles the Mole Miners from the original Thrawn Trilogy.
The pods appear to use plasma cutters to breach the docking tubes of another ship and then allow boarding parties to enter the target vessel. Similar to how Thrawn tried to capture ships at Sluis Van.
Multiple Gladiators in the Fleet?
Later in the teaser, we see the Gladiator in two more shots. In one of them, two accompanied a Star Destroyer. In another shot, a Gladiator can be seen in a larger Imperial fleet formation.
Do you think this is the Gladiator-Class too?
I would love...
An interaction between Force ghost Anakin and Luke. Is it foolish of me to hope there will be such an interaction in Ahsoka season two?
