The empire may have fallen,
but my ambitions never wavered.
I am grand Admiral Thrawn,
and my return is inevitable.
to do what's right, regardless of our personal feelings.
by the end of the Clone Wars.
I walked away from him and the Jedi.
I could use the help.
Once a rebel.
Always a rebel.
In this war, you'll face more than just droids
as your master is my responsibility to prepare you.
I won't always be there to look out for you.
Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie
Ahsoka Episode 6 is coming.
There are a couple of big Easter eggs in the trailer, a couple of big plot points
They still need to pay off before the end of the season.
So we'll break it all down.
If you're brand new to the channel, we're doing videos for all the episodes.
Be sure to subscribe to get everything We're still doing a giveaway
for the Disney Plus memberships to name a new winner during this video.
I'm doing that during all the episode videos.
I'm also going to be doing Loki season two episodes.
That's going to overlap with the Ahsoka finale in a couple of weeks.
So we'll roll right into that.
They're a couple brand new trailers for all that other stuff too.
But since that's Marvel stuff, I'll just leave that in my Marvel videos.
careful for spoilers from episode five if you haven't seen it yet.
But at the end of the episode, Ahsoka came back to the world of the living,
came back to consciousness, so to speak.
got a big called action lesson from Anakin Skywalker in the world between worlds.
I think that was also meant to be a bit of a force vision too,
because of the way
Anakin was manipulating it in in the world between worlds.
Strictly speaking, you're literally traveling through time and space.
this is probably Dave Filoni is way to have his cake
and eat it too, so that he could get around the time
travel paradox problem of Anna and Skywalker
learning too much about his future before he became Darth Vader
that's why I said, I think this version of Anakin
is a little bit closer to being like a Mortis God,
because they kind of tease that during the Mortis episodes of the Clone Wars
that he was the chosen one meant to bring balance to the force.
But that idea went much bigger, much more beyond just getting
rid of the emperor and bringing balance to the force during return of the Jedi.
like and again, is serving a more cosmic role
than he was before, than a traditional force ghost
would like Yoda's Force Ghost or Obi-Wan Kenobi is force ghost in present day,
the funny thing about that time travel paradox too,
is that they actually addressed it during the Mortis episode
were the son actually showed and again, his future becoming Darth Vader,
it kind of drove him mad briefly
and he turned evil and wanted to do all these crazy
things in the galaxy to try and prevent it and make things worse.
Theoretically.
So the father
basically had to erase his knowledge of the future.
so just to be clear, the version of Anakin
that Ahsoka was talking to in the World
Between Worlds is sort of like the dead version.
In present day.
It is more cosmic force, ghost type of mortis, God role.
He didn't have the blue outline of traditional force ghost.
But I do think before the end of the series
we'll see
a traditional force goes in again cameos like a more traditional type of
cameo scene, kind of like the quite Gone Jin cameo scene at the end of the Obi-Wan
Kenobi series.
you could do like five more videos explaining what Anakin is doing right
now, the way he exists in a more cosmic God type of role in the force.
but I do think right now he is providing balance to the universe, the force itself,
the way they said he was prophesied to do during the Mortis episodes.
That's also why they wanted to trap him on mortis.
Like, you need to stay here.
You need to bring balance to my family.
Then Ahsoka goes full Gandalf from Lord of the Rings, Gandalf the White Ahsoka.
The white came back to life with new knowledge in a serious case.
It was that you just wasn't afraid of
getting people killed anymore, especially those close to her.
Like Sabine, Ezra, the rest of the crew, the ghosts.
In order to fight Grand Admiral Thrawn, She couldn't just take a knee
because she was too afraid to get people killed.
that was white
and again, took her to all those past visions of the Clone Wars battles
that they travel to.
she and Hu Yang rode inside the lead pergolas belly to the other galaxy
to get Sabine and Ezra try to stop Morgan, Elspeth the Dark Jedi from using the
AI have signed a big hyperspace ring from bringing Thrawn back to the main galaxy
with his seventh Fleet, or what remains of his seventh Fleet of Star Destroyers.
being gone for about ten years. That other galaxy. We'll see.
We learn about other ships, other cultures in that other galaxy.
I know a lot of people too
are like, Well, it's a spiral galaxy that looks kind of like the Milky Way.
Maybe that's meant to be our galaxy.
They also keep making the jokes, too.
The Star Wars Introduction.
Because the Star Wars
stories are told as
if they are happening a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
in every time they talk about this with the galaxy, they say it's far, far away.
but just from the trailer footage of stuff that we haven't seen yet,
it just seems that they're hyping up the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn
in most of the rest of the episodes, like episodes six, seven
and eight will mostly be focused on what's going on in that other galaxy.
there's the
all the plot that's happening with Hera in the New Republic in the main galaxy,
but that feels like it's completely secondary,
like a completely different story from what's going on with Ahsoka,
trying to find great Admiral Thrawn, Ezra in Sabine.
that's why I said after episode five, it felt like Episode five was kind of
like the real beginning of the series, like when the plot actually begins.
there.
A couple of videos I did before the season came out
where I was actually talking about this in relation to The Lord of the Rings,
because we're talking about Ahsoka being kind of like
the Gandalf of the Star Wars universe.
think of a serious season one is like the Fellowship of the Ring
with the way they did, the progression of all the characters.
The first half of the season of Ahsoka is everything in The Lord of the Rings
Fellowship of the Ring before the Fellowship actually forms.
then halfway through the season, the fellowship forms
in the actual real plot begins, like taking the ring to Mount Doom.
Only this time it's a soldier
going to the other galaxy, defying Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ezra and Sabine. Now
to their version of the One ring of Power is the literal giant hyperspace ring.
destroy the ring of power. Throw it in the fires of Mount Doom.
Let me know what you think.
On Ahsoka represents Mount Doom in this equation
Maybe at some point during episodes six, seven and eight, they'll briefly jump back
to what's happening with Harry's group in the main galaxy.
But for the most part, I think they're going to just focus on
what's happening with Thorne's group
in the other galaxy in Ahsoka, when she gets there.
the whole idea with the space wells, the pergola too, is that when she jokes
about not knowing whether or not the space wells can actually find
where Morgan Elsbeth in the hyperspace ring, Wentworth, Thrawn and Ezra are,
there's a very wide margin for error.
Like they could wind
up in the blackness of space, there's a giant void between galaxies
which would basically render them completely helpless.
I think the idea is that the purge will just have the natural ability,
like sort of like a natural hyperspace
sonar where they can detect where things travel in hyperspace so they can follow
the giant hyperspace rings trail through hyperspace, there.
He showed us what live action Ezra Bridger looks like, but he recorded this message
that's being kept
watching about ten years ago from where they are now in present day.
The actors the same like the same actors playing the character in present day.
But they might've just made him
look a little bit younger when they did the hollow recording scene.
basically he's meant to be about the same age as Sabine
and she's in her late twenties in present day.
the only of the things that we know is that he left his light saber with her.
That's what who Jane was talking to her about in the early episodes.
She's already modified it to her own spec,
even though she's not very good with it yet.
since he's been stuck in that other galaxy, he would have either
constructed a new lightsaber for himself or he just gone without one.
the other big question too, because this is like a huge other galaxy
that we haven't explored yet is whether or not Ezra took off
when they arrived in that other galaxy or if he stayed with Thrawn seventh Fleet
just to survive, or if he did what Ahsoka just did in asked
the space Wells to do him another solid and just give him a ride somewhere else.
Because he totally could have just pulled what Ahsoka just did in right inside
one of their stomachs to the other galaxy, back to the main galaxy.
like he didn't have to be trapped in that other galaxy,
but maybe he just didn't have access to the Pergolas.
Maybe they didn't come anywhere near where he was the other thing too.
There might be a big twist in that other galaxy.
There might be something really important or really powerful
there as well that made him want to stay in the other galaxy.
But we know they're doing the Thrawn movie.
Heir to the Empire, loosely based on the plot of the original Thrawn trilogy.
So that means that he has to make it back to the regular galaxy in the finale
with his fleet.
to get into the whole night.
Sisters of it all.
The big rumor right now
is that Thrawn is creating an army for himself with Morgan Elspeth help.
And they're going to be a bunch of knights,
sister zombies like Barack was like Merak was meant
to be kind of a teaser foreshadowing for casual audience.
What Theron's grand plan is conquering the galaxy
so that when a bunch of Knights sister zombie show up, people
who don't really know Star Wars understand kind of how they work.
They did a lot of the Knights sister zombies during the Star Wars.
Jedi games like Jedi, Fallen Order, Jedi Survivor.
They also did them during the Clone Wars episodes.
So if you watched any of those, you have a pretty good idea what's going on.
ID that winds up being true, I think that's meant to be his version
of creating a massive fighting force that he has total control
over with Morgan Elsbeth help because technically the night sister
would be the one creating them like Moff Gideon wanted to do with his clone.
Army of force sensitive clones bring the extra hard core
Mandalorian Beskar armor, making them nearly invincible, basically
people creating their invincible, fighting forces in different ways.
Nice sister.
Zombies aren't invincible, but like Merauke, they're already dead, basically.
So they feel no pain.
They have no limits.
Like normal soldiers or normal clones, because we did just have a bunch
of live action Clone Wars flashbacks.
The funny thing too,
is that during the final days of the Empire,
before the events of A New Hope, the Emperor Grand Moff Tarkin,
top military brass were considering going back to using the traditional
clone troopers again instead of regular humanoid troopers.
Most of them had died in battle or natural causes.
But for the events of the original trilogy,
There are a few traditional clones that live to very old age.
Like Rex, for example, he's still alive in present day tomorrow.
Morrison had a brief cameo during the episode,
but it was a flashback version of Rex.
But most of them just died out naturally in battle or of old age.
And the Emperor just eventually replace them with regular human stormtroopers.
the problem that they ran into, the problem
the emperor ran into is that humans have free will end,
even though they condition them in really hardcore
ways, they're much harder to control on a massive scale than the clones
were Just remember how Order 66 went down.
what ended up happening,
though, is that the rebellion formed in the Galactic Civil War happened
during the original trilogy, so the Empire never got the chance
to bring the clone Troopers back, so to speak.
but then you have the Imperial Remnant.
A lot of those survivors, like the Shadow Council, whose plans for stuff
like that evolve into bigger things like Moff Gideon is playing for force
sensitive Clone Troopers, fort, The Thrawn rumor is true using Knights,
Sisters, Powers of Resurrection to create a zombie army basically.
The funny thing about Rock two like we tell the Merak jokes now
the director of episode four where he was killed, revealing him as a knights
or zombie with that Sprayberry in smoke
wasn't something that the director actually knew about.
Peter Ramsey, who directed the episode, was one of the directors
on Spider-Man into the Spider-Verse
amazing movie, one of the best Spider-Man movies of all time.
He said that Dave Filoni wouldn't tell him what was going on
with Mark during the episode, only that they wanted him
to kill Merauke and have something spray out of his chest.
Peter Ramsey said when they were filming the scene, they just assumed
it was supposed to be blood spraying out when he was killed by a soldier.
But because it's meant to be PG 13, it couldn't be too hardcore.
So they didn't make it look like red blood.
but it also didn't look green either.
They actually made it look green in post-production.
So Peter Ramsey had no idea what was going on with Mark,
with the green smoke coming out of him, like, Oh, that's a brand new thing.
what might have been going on, though, is that
Dave Filoni wouldn't reveal all the secrets about Merauke to the crew
that were filming that
part of the episode with the nicest zombie because it was part of this larger plot
that Thrawn has to create an army of these types of beings.
Either way, we should see pretty soon what's going on
with Thrawn in that of the galaxy and what kind of force he's going to assemble
going to need a ton of able bodied troops really fast.
And he did
not have that many of them with him when he was taken to the other galaxy.
so he has to magic up an army of people pretty quickly.
In nicest zombies would be a really easy way to do that
Right now,
my expectation is that they'll just deal with this soldier
getting into the other galaxy and finding everyone,
and they'll hold off on some of the big reveal.
It's like the very end of the episode.
They might see a little bit what's going on with Ezra a little bit,
what's going on with Ryan, Morgan, Elsbeth, The Dark Jedi and Sabine.
But for the most part, they're going to hold the real big reveals, too,
like Episode seven in Episode eight, let me know in the comments.
Why do you think that Ezra didn't already use the space wheels to travel
back to the normal galaxy?
Like why you write in their stomachs and come back on his own already
My full episode six video will post next week after they release it.
They also just released a bunch of big trailers for like Loki season two.
All coming in to that should be later today.
