Welcome back everyone, it's Charlie.
This is the way. Both The Mandalorian and Ahsoka have been setting Grogu and
Sabine Wren up as the future Mandalorian Jedi, paying off one of the longest
running Easter Eggs in Star Wars history next to the Knights of the Old Republic
stuff they've just been doing on Ahsoka.
So we'll break it all down,
If you're brand new to the channel, I'm doing videos for all the Ahsoka episodes.
Be sure to subscribe to get them.
Those are getting teasers
for the Mandalorian Season four probably by early next year too.
Jon Favreau Dave Filoni
will be doing a full season of that before the big Thrawn movie happens.
Generally.
All this stuff in this part of the timeline,
The Mandalorian episodes
book of Boba Fett, the Ahsoka episodes are all meant to cross over.
everything that's happening right now
on Ahsoka is taking place right after the Mandalorian Season three.
But during The Mandalorian, they've slowly been showing
that Grogu himself has been going through
the steps needed to actually become a mandalorian, a part of their culture.
he's already rising on the path through their ranks.
The Armor kind of gave him an exception to actually taking the creed.
And so that's typically
the main requirement for anyone who wishes to become a mandalorian.
They have to verbally recite the creed, take the oath.
But Grogu
hasn't shown he's been able to speak basic tongue like Yoda or Jarrell yet.
There've been a lot of theories that he can already speak, but the closest
he's doing to actual speaking is just in his own native tongue,
like he's speaking Yoda's language when he's talking like this.
that was meant to be him mimicking Bo-Katan in Mando
saying this is the way but in Yoda's natural tongue he's slowly
getting his armor pieces like a regular Mandalorian slowly training in the force.
He's just not pursuing the traditional Jedi path at Luke Skywalker Academy.
He's more like a soldier in the desert, studying the force in their own way
the traditional Jedi teachings are just one of many different ways
of studying the force The night sisters are a recent example of another force
tradition that's very, very different in practice, in the abilities.
Now, during the first few
episodes of Ahsoka, one of the new changes Dave Filoni just introduced to
the canon
was saying that during the time jump between the end of the Battle of Luthor
in Star Wars Rebels finale, in the tag scene at the very end,
Sabine had been training in the force with Ahsoka as master and apprentice.
They just clarified that the live action version of this scene
that time jump during Rebels was close to about ten years.
Way longer, I think, than we originally thought
when they originally aired the Rebels episode.
this scene in present day is taking place just after the Mandalorian season three.
during the first few episodes, David Tennant, who Yang tells Sabine
that she's got the lowest aptitude for the force that he's ever seen,
and remember, he's from
the Old Republic era many thousands of years ago,
and he's helped pretty much every single Jedi ever build their light saber.
So you're talking many tens of thousands of Jedi that he's known over the years.
what that means is that it seems like her mid-Victorian count is super low
compared to more powerful Jedi like a soldier and a can Skywalker Grogu
even Ezra Bridger, they haven't clarified whether or not who Yang met.
Ezra Bridger I'm assuming that he did not,
but he would probably know about his existence
in answering the other side of that question.
If it wasn't clear who Yang would also know about Grogu,
even though he probably never met him at the Jedi Temple.
Because remember who Yang spent all of his time on the ancient Jedi ship
ferrying younglings back and forth to ILM,
where they would find their kyber crystals and use them to construct lightsabers
like that was basically his function
within the Jedi Order for many thousands of years
Grogu, who never seems like he got to the point
in his physical development when his hands were just
actually big enough to wrap their fingers around a Yoda sized lightsaber.
Like, even if they gave him a light saber,
he probably wouldn't be able to hold it like he should be able to.
that was the funny thing.
When Luke Skywalker offered him one of Yoda's former lightsabers, like,
would he actually be able to hold that if he gave it to him?
I think the idea is that Lucas intended for Grogu to keep that with his belongings
until he grew big enough to actually use it.
not, he's left Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy and did not take Yoda's
lightsaber.
That just means that as he grows more powerful and physically grows larger,
eventually
he'll construct his own new lightsaber, which I think a lot of people wanted
this is also very similar
to the path that Ahsoka followed when she left the Jedi Order.
She left her old lightsabers, her
original lightsabers behind, and again eventually gave them back to her.
But she lost them again, left the last one behind to trick the empire
into thinking that she died. Just like Grogu.
She went for a while without a lightsaber.
Then she got her new twin lightsabers when she fought the Inquisitor,
the six brother here in Tales of the Jedi, defeated him, took his red light
saber crystals,
purified them to their white color, and made her own new twin lightsabers
from them.
Grogu will probably do something similar, will eventually find his own lightsaber
crystal make a new lightsaber, but because he grows so slowly,
like if you use charting the timeline here,
that probably won't be till well after the Thrawn movies happen.
probably going to be pretty tiny for a good long while,
But basically he's meant to be the next Mandalorian Jedi.
Since TAA Vizsla over a thousand years ago, the one that created the Darksaber
became a Jedi Knight before coming back to Mandalore to lead his people.
Now there were many other force sensitive mandalorians in the years
after him, but none of them ever trained in the force or became Jedi Knights.
until you get to grogu you announce the being Ren.
The only difference
between the two of them is that Grogu, who is way more powerful in Sabine
Wren, was born a Mandalorian and Grogu who just became a mandalorian over time.
There've been a ton of questions about how they're handling
the Sabine character on Ahsoka, but I think it's pretty clear to the first
few episodes.
Dave Filoni is just saying that Sabine has always been for sensitive.
They're just really only exploring that in depth.
Now, during the Star Wars Rebels episodes, they kind of brushed over it,
I think, because they were focusing more on the lore
behind the Darksaber, the Mandalorian culture
and what was going on with Ezra Bridgers force training
But at some point after the Battle of Lothar,
just before the events of a New Hope, Sabine would have started
formally training in the force, with Ahsoka becoming her Padawan
in when we use the term Jedi so can ever really consider herself a Jedi
during those first few Ahsoka episodes, they specifically say that Balan school,
who also does not think of himself as a Jedi, has been training his apprentice,
Shin Hatty, in the formal Jedi practices like constructing lightsabers.
Her fighting form is more like the traditional Jedi forms
balance school and Ahsoka would have learned at the Jedi Temple.
So it seems like the two of them, Ahsoka and Balan, are passing on some aspects
of the traditional Jedi training, but not all.
They're very strict rules and beliefs.
Like most of the stuff that they're borrowing
from the traditional Jedi path are the practical aspects like fighting
techniques, basic skills.
in according to who
Yang Saben isn't a super quick learner like Aniket or Soko or even Grogu or Ezra.
He was just trying to tell her that she can totally become a Jedi,
but she's going to have to work
way harder than all those other Jedi that came before her
the whole thing with Ezra's lightsaber now belonging to her will probably turn
into a huge twist later in the series when they reveal what really happened
to Ezra in present day.
I know there's tons of theories about that.
I've heard in a couple of videos about some mystery characters like Burak.
they wanted to make it clear, though, that the light saber
ultimately belongs to her now, regardless of what happens to it,
the next several episodes or what happens with Ezra Bridger, he would have either
constructed a new lightsaber for himself or he doesn't need one anymore.
And it will have something to do with the new law that Dave Filoni
is introducing with this other galaxy that they're calling Perea
the original home of the space wells, the Pergolas.
If that wasn't clear, they were implying that the space wells originally
came from that other galaxy, and that's how they knew how to find it,
because it was just part of their pod's normal path.
They follow through the universe
like aquatic creatures migrate along, set paths on a regular basis
there are a bunch of live action
versions of them in the trailer, so it seems like
we'll actually run into them in the next few episodes.
But the whole point is that Sabine is still a mandalorian, too.
Now, like Rogue who's becoming a Mandalorian.
Essentially, they're the future mandalorian Jedi.
still a little salty that we didn't see Clan Ren in that ending scene
for The Mandalorian Season three or Sabine Wren didn't show up for that.
I think that was mostly a budget thing.
But if we're talking about the future of Star Wars here, even though
Sabine Age is like a normal human, she'll grow old and die before Grogu
even reaches his prime.
Yoda was about 100 years old when he became a Jedi master.
Grogu, who is in his early fifties Right now, just based on the timing for when
Star Wars rebels happens to be in,
seems like she's around her late twenties in present day,
so she'd be in her seventies like wizened old mandalorian Jedi master
by the time Grogu also reaches full size and becomes the junior master.
Now I know everyone's going to ask whether or not
the two of them will start their own Jedi Academy together in the distant future.
Because of what happens with Luke Skywalker's Jedi Academy.
It probably wouldn't be till after the events of the sequel trilogy,
And they did just announce those new Star Wars movies.
They plan on setting ten years after the sequel trilogy.
that would be when Grogu wants to be
would probably be training a bunch of other students.
Unless Dave Filoni has some special plans for this other new galaxy.
long term.
I think the Star Wars will always try to keep Grogu around for financial reasons.
Mostly story reasons too.
Like he's going to live 900 years.
Like there's just so much story to explore with his character.
Why would you get rid of him so quickly? but.
I think the main reason for introducing
this other galaxy is because just in general,
they're trying
to branch outside of the main Star Wars galaxy like there's been trapped
in this main galaxy for so many years.
I think they're trying to broaden
the Star Wars universe, like literally the term universe.
Grogu could eventually just kind of traveling to the other galaxy
at some point, having a bunch of adventures there
for hundreds of years, and he's still be relatively middle aged.
practically Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, have been pretty clear
that they don't want to answer those kind of questions right now.
Like we're not going to reveal
what happens to Grogu who in like ten or 15 years even.
they don't want to explain what happens to him
during the events of the sequel trilogy.
Even because that would kind of give away the plot of what's going to happen to him
during the events of the Thrawn movies
to Generally just means that it's wide open for theory crafting for a long time.
So let me know in the comments.
If Grow in Sabine are the future of the Mandalorian Jude
I Do you think that they'll form a new academy themselves together,
or would you just rather see them travel to the new galaxy and have adventures
there I'll post my Ahsoka Episode three video as soon as possible.
