The empire may have fallen,
but my ambitions never wavered.
I am grand Admiral Thrawn,
and my return is inevitable.
Concentrate taken all that is around you.
Let's go again.
I have reason to believe vampire is still a threat.
We face another war.
Let's begin.
A soccer talent.
Anakin spoke highly of you.
You're ready.
Nice trick.
Got any more?
Ahsoka
Jedi Rebel
Warrior.
But who is she exactly?
We have 30 seconds to find out.
Well, they clock.
Okay.
And begin A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
The brave Jedi was forged in the battles of the Clone Wars.
Her name was Oka Tano.
She started as a Padawan under Jedi Master Anakin Skywalker.
Yes. The chosen one who eventually became Darth Vader.
She was a spy for the fledgling rebellion and helped defeat the empire.
She has two lightsabers. Amazing.
In our new series, she faces her past while helping
to prevent the return of a fearsome enemy.
A soldier enlists the help of her friends who've been running fiercely independent.
Mandalorian Warriors.
And General Harrison Dula, one of the best pilots
in the galaxy and central member of the rebellion and her droid chopper.
So going to be and we'll have a team of parents
exposed an intergalactic fight for Grand Admiral Thrawn.
Oh, no, not him,
Chopper.
How did I do that?
Rude.
Welcome back everyone
it's Charlie
There's a brand new Ahsoka trailer with a whole bunch of Star Wars Easter eggs.
So we'll break it all down.
We also learned that they might be doing The Mandalorian season four
as a small movie because they want to do it
before the Thrawn heir to the Empire movie.
I'll explain what's going on with that.
lot of Thrawn going on in this new trailer and what's happening in the next
couple of years just in general in the Star Wars universe
if you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the episodes.
Of course, I'll be doing episode videos for Ahsoka.
I've got a couple of fun giveaways that I'll do during those episode videos
to just starting at the beginning of the trailer footage.
There's a whole bunch of Thrawn teasing his return, the fall of the Empire,
the way that Dave Filoni called it.
There, referring to the Shadow Council and what's left of the Empire
as the Remnant Empire.
there's a little bit of trailer footage where Harrison Dula is trying to convince
the New Republic Center, including man Mathema, who is on the series
that the Remnant Empire is still a threat, that it actually exists like this.
Basically her talking about the Shadow Council from the Mandalorian
that we saw at the end of season three and Thrawn coming back
mostly Thrawn but also the Shadow Council still out there to The Shadow
Council was made up of a bunch of disparate cells of remnant Empire,
people that each had their own ideas about what to do
with bringing the Empire back with each had their own agenda.
you probably notice.
One of the funny things about that is it seemed like they all kind of didn't
like each other
and none of them really like Thrawn that much either, except for Pelion.
They kept telling the rest of the Shadow council,
We need to prepare for grand Admiral Thrawn return.
He's almost here.
Peron's return as heir to the Empire.
he's part of the original Thrawn trilogy.
So, like, he's another big Easter egg character that they're bringing back,
generally the next couple of years of this part of the time, like the mando verse
sort of calling it like Ahsoka as well as the Thrawn movie,
they're adapting the heir to the Empire storyline
along with Dark Force Rising, the last of the original Thrawn trilogy.
but I think they'll actually call the Thrawn movie Heir to the Empire.
Like Star Wars.
Heir to the Empire, they'll be a lot of changes that storyline.
Oh, explain that in a second, too,
because that gets into what's happening with Grogu
who Mando in all those characters too, in The Mandalorian, just in general.
But the whole idea they're teasing here is that Thrawn has his own ideas
about what he wants to do with the future of the Galaxy,
and he believes that he can do a much better job of managing the galaxy
than, say, like the Emperor, sweep of the Thrawn
doesn't really care about Moff Gideon for example,
even though we think that he's, he's probably still alive out there somewhere.
He had all those clones,
don't be surprised if he comes back at some point in the next couple of seasons,
even though the two of them don't like each other,
don't care about each other that much,
and think that one another should be the actual leader of this new empire.
neither one of them, and probably several of the other members
of the Shadow Council don't want the emperor to come back
and this is part of the reason why Thrawn isn't
like your typical type of cult,
like he's an antagonist in the story, but he's not a traditional type of villain.
He is trying to do good things.
It's just that he's very, very cold and vicious in his actions.
he's basically trying
to stabilize the galaxy, but under his thumb,
not because he wants power for himself like he doesn't really care about that.
he's mostly doing all this for the benefit of his people,
which is that's where his first loyalty lies.
He only pretended to serve the Emperor after Revenge of the Sith in the Clone
Wars.
I'm not expecting him to show up until, like, the later Ahsoka episodes,
so we might not learn a whole lot about his people.
That shifts during season one.
like, I think the idea is that trying to bring Thrawn back using these Jedi's
star maps in his people with Balon school and obviously Morgan Elsbeth.
but I think part of the idea is they don't show up at the end of the series
with this giant
new fleet of ships and be like, Oh, crap, the New Republic is screwed
then like The Mandalorian Season four or the Thrawn movie, then they'll get into
a little bit of his backstory in the chess vendor in the trailer.
They have a little bit of Jedi training with the soldier training Sabine Wren
And it is meant to be a parallel for Luke Skywalker
being trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi, wearing his blast helmet.
But because Dave Filoni said that the Ahsoka series in general is meant
to feel kind of like a samurai film,
like they designed it to look more like a samurai film.
Ahsoka's made to feel more like a ronin kind of Jedi The helmet she's wearing
looks more like a kendo helmet, which is also another deep cut
for the original George Lucas classic trilogy.
when he originally designed the whole concept of Jedi fighting styles
and lightsabers, he decided to look a little bit more like kendo fighting.
Look, they use two hands to fight this way.
Mark Hamill told a lot of funny stories about this
when they were making the original trilogy.
Like by the time they got to Return of the Jedi,
he's like, George, we could actually make these fights look way cooler
if we could actually just use one hand when we're fighting with the light sabers.
But at least back when they were making those movies,
George Lucas would not where he's like, No, no, no.
You have to use two hands to fight with the light saber.
They're meant to be incredibly heavy.
he finally relented on that.
By the time they got to the prequel movies and let them fight
with one hands on lightsabers and use two lightsabers,
that's when they started to develop more Jedi
fighting styles and wrote them into the canon.
so if you hear
about the traditional Jedi fighting forms, that's where that originally came from.
when they were shooting the prequels
and they wanted to have more dynamic looking lightsaber fights
We also see David Tennant viewing Jedi droids sitting there
watching them this is meant to be taking place on Ahsoka ship.
I think the idea is that she's been with him for a while
now, hopefully they'll use his character to get a lot of the ancient Jedi lore.
he's meant to be over a thousand years old so he's older than Master Yoda.
a lot of people asking if there's any connection to the Droid
from Jedi survivor who's a High Republic Droid antagonist
from Jedi Survivor, was also left over from the High Republic, too.
the timeline doesn't quite match up for that.
But there might be some Easter eggs for the High Republic with Ron's new ships.
This is what the interior of his ships look like.
The design language does look a little bit similar
to that droid in the High Republic stuff from Jedi survivor.
part of the idea with Jedi Survivor, the sequel that they're working on
right now, Cal Cassius, all that stuff.
I think they want to do that third game before they introduce him
in the live action,
but then they will introduce him in live action just because it's so rich.
From a story perspective, why would you not try and integrate
some of that with the live action stuff?
Remember just who you are.
All right, You're on Kobo.
The logo on the thing is coming. If you're not scared.
Show me. Focus.
Good.
Now I'm playing baseball.
Right. You will take me to the senator.
Now take me to the senator.
No less risk
All that you get to light sabers.
Technically one.
But I can split them.
You never gave me to write Skater's
that's also one of the reasons why you see a lot of the Luke Skywalker callixtus
Easter eggs, the promos
that they were shooting for those games when they were releasing them, like,
oh yeah, we'll do this in live action at some point too.
Then they have the scenes of both Ahsoka and Sabine Lightsaber
fighting with Zenyatta in the Inquisitor, mirrored in that forest.
It seems like the same planet with a jet
eye star map was just based on the backgrounds.
this last scene of Ahsoka in Sabine in Ahsoka ship
is also her wearing a New Republic uniform.
That's what that blue uniform is.
during the earlier trailers where you see baylan skoll and shin hati
board the New Republic ship
and just mow through all those New Republic soldiers,
they're wearing the same types of uniforms,
there might be some grogu, some mando crossover.
But the whole idea
with The Mandalorian season four movie that you may have heard in your feeds,
Dave Filoni, Jon Favreau wanted to release that before the big Thrawn movie
that they're working on.
Like that's the actual movie that they were hyping up a little while ago
there are a bunch of story arcs and things
that they wanted to set up before that movie begins.
And it was going to happen in The Mandalorian season four.
But because of the strike, delaying everything, they had this timeline.
They want to get the next Star Wars movie out by a certain date.
they might not have enough time to shoot
an entire regular season of The Mandalorian for season four,
so they might just collapse that down to a single movie in speed run.
All the important stuff.
most of that would involve grogu learning more about the force,
doing more training himself, getting more powerful.
The Mandalorian clans continuing to restore
or almost have finished restoring the Great Forge
in rearming their people with best armor beskar weapons
probably a crossover
with the Sokka Sabine Hera the other Star Wars rebels characters
that are debuting in the Ahsoka series and then pledging their support together.
Like everybody learning about the threat of Thrawn together.
At least Mando doesn't really know about Thrawn right now.
Bo-Katan the Mandalorians also probably don't know
that much about Thrawn coming back, they know that Thrawn exists
because he faced them during Star Wars rebels before the events,
the original trilogy.
But they don't know that he's back yet.
So we think the idea is that originally they planned
at the end of Mandalorian season four
to have a throng crossover where he shows up with all of his forces
and they all stand together pledging their support to face them together.
then you pick up with the events of that Thrawn heir to the Empire movie
with things going crazy like a traditional Star Wars movie.
there will be multiple seasons of Ahsoka
like they're not going to do ten seasons of The Mandalorian.
At some point they will end The Mandalorian Grogu
will go on to more adventures, probably on whatever future season of Ahsoka
they're on
Let me know if you spotted
any other Easter eggs in the footage that it didn't talk about in the video.
My episode videos will start posting real soon after they start releasing them.
There'll be a couple of the bonus videos before that too,
