Welcome back everyone
It's Charlie Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau are working on Ahsoka season 2.
They ended season one with a bunch of cliffhangers and questions.
there were some huge storylines that they left completely wide open,
like the mortis gods.
There's a bunch of stuff they've already confirmed.
And we have a pretty good idea for what's happening
next in this part of the timeline. So we'll break it all down.
If you're brand new to the channel, be sure to subscribe to get all the videos.
I'll be doing more videos for The Mandalorian.
Season four in the Skeleton Crew series is actually like the next series
in the timeline that will crossover with everything,
but that won't premiere until round Spring 2024.
but just starting with the biggest stuff.
What's happening with the more discards in live action.
Really cool to see Dave Filoni do this.
The funny thing is, originally it was George
Lucas's idea to create the more disguise for the Clone Wars.
So a lot of people, if you're wondering what was the deal with them
during the Clone Wars, George Lucas wanted to introduce them into the canon
the story that George laid out for us
was something that I think that that we'd all
as Star Wars fans, as lovers of mythology, wanted to delve into
for a very long time, which was a much more intensive look at
the force and
force wielders and how that used in this whole prophecy of the Chosen one.
And what does that mean for
the one who I was actually out of the room for the first,
I think 15 minutes, 20 minutes of George's pitch of these force wielders.
And I remember coming back in the room and the writers
were all just kind of wrapped up, like looking at George.
And they saw me come in the room
and they looked at me and they're like, You've got to hear this.
And George sat me down
and he started explaining to the gods, and we are before.
They're much more powerful than any grenades.
And this one turns into a gargoyle.
And this one.
GRIFFIN And he's saying all this stuff.
You're
like, Wow, this is pretty intense.
that whole storyline came from him.
And Dave Filoni just kind of adapted it to the page.
but what is Baylan Skoll trying to do with them?
And what is Dave Filoni going to do with the character of Baylan Skoll
since Rey Stephenson passed away before the series premiered?
May he rest in peace?
no joke.
He was one of the most interesting things about this season.
I was a little disappointed. There was so little of the character.
It kind of feels like Dave Filoni wrote a bunch more stuff for him, and Shehata
on the page then went up cutting a lot of their scenes for budget reasons.
But that mortis gods teaser at the end was enough to answer
most of the big questions.
Like the what of it all
during that final scene we see him standing on the statue of the father
on the fist, staring out at a beacon on a mountain in the distance.
Is it? The father is pointing to the mountain.
Next to it is a statue of the sun.
And then next to them is a crumbling statue
that are this broken because they're ancient statues.
like the statues were meant to have been built by the witch.
Which kingdom of the death
mere thousands of years ago during the height of their civilization.
that's why you see the statues all around the planet's surface.
But the other statues
are meant to look like the same statue above the Knight's sister's coven on Darth
the Mirror during the Clone Wars that mother tells and ruled over
That figure that they depict I think is meant to be an ancient knight's
sister, probably one of the ancient great members
of that order in the way the Sith have statues to Darth
Roman, the other ancient Sith from the Old Republic era. but.
The whole idea here is that the ancient night
sisters of this ancient witch kingdom built statues to the mortis gods, meaning
they also probably worshiped them and used their power.
And this goes back to the history of the universe that the father told to and again
during the Mortis episodes when he visited them in The Clone Wars.
there's like this whole untold history of the universe that and again, gets like
a big info dump on what happened many, many hundreds of thousands of years ago.
the father told him that in ancient times the mortis gods walked
amongst humans in the mortal realm like the normal universe
in their level of power and influence.
And the force was so great
that it caused all kinds of calamities and collateral damage,
even though they didn't necessarily intend to do that
just the fact that they were sitting around
in the moral round caused so much chaos and schism between the dark side,
the light side, wars everywhere, so much death and destruction,
the is the because the son was the conduit of the dark side, the force.
He would cause this huge rise in the power of the dark side of the force,
the level of the dark side in the universe
causing way more wars, death, destruction.
generally the dark side
will hold sway over the entire universe like dark timeline kind of stuff.
Then on a dime, it would shift to the light side
when the daughter would do the same thing and she would hold
sway over the universe in the father would be constantly trying to create
balance between the dark and the light
to stop the entire universe from being destroyed.
The father said that eventually what happened
is that he
removed the three of them to the pocket dimension called the Mortis realm.
But even though they weren't physically touching the mortal plane,
the normal universe, the three of them still had
a lot of influence over the state of the galaxy.
Dark light in the balance between them.
So that's how powerful they were.
Like they were in an alternate dimension,
but they still have this extreme influence over the galaxy.
that's why the sun tried to trick an Akin the others, into releasing him
from the Mordor strong so they could go back to the main universe.
Is that had happened.
It would have been lights out for the universe
like the power and influence of the dark side
would become so great to someone like Emperor Palpatine would gain
God tier power compared to his normal level of power.
it would basically boost all the natural power levels of all dark side
force users, no matter what.
during the series, though, they hint the fall of the ancient witch
kingdom of the death mirrored the ancient Knights sisters.
Huge empire was because of something
connected to the mortals gods, probably the sun.
most of the power that they wield seems like it has a twinge of darkness.
Like we give you a gift of shadows to Morgan Elsbeth,
clearly very dark side terminology here the way the Knights sisters
tap into the force, though, is a little bit different.
So it's not quite as binary is light side and dark side.
that was what Baylan Skoll was talking about
when he said that we are no Jedi, but they're also not Sith either, going back
to the whole concept of the mortis, Gods like the sun tells the others, I am not.
I'm not merely says. I'm much more than that.
the bend.
Do kind of gets into that too, like the way he wields the force
in a much more complete way, dark side and light side together.
What I think Dave Filoni is doing here is saying that the father story
about the reason they left the mortal realm
was because of the trouble they cause in it has something to do
with the fall of the witch kingdom of the Dathomir
like they started to be influenced by the sun.
The Rays grew in power like they turned into an empire,
but ultimately it caused their destruction.
Then the father took the three of them to the mortis realm.
So you have to remember this is happening hundreds of thousands,
if you like, a long time ago.
In the past, Morgan Elspeth said that it was before time itself was recorded,
meaning that it predated the beginning of the original Jedi order.
in that goes back about 35,000 years.
we're going deep into like stuff that predates Knights of the Old Republic.
I also think these three main Knights sister, great mothers,
went into hibernation until Thrawn and Morgan Elspeth woke them up
During the series.
They say that Thrawn and the others woke them up, quote unquote.
I think that's meant to be a literal thing
Like these three knights sisters, Claudia Black being the main one,
even though they kind of exist in a trinity with equal power.
Her name is Cloak, though they're each name
for the three Greek fates who would perceive destiny.
I think that these three were actually from that ancient witch kingdom in
survived.
It just spent thousands of years in hibernation until Thrawn arrived
and woke them up in that explains how they survived until present day.
Another basically trying to bring back the witch Kingdom of the Death mirror
in present day with Thrawn help.
And that's why they're agreeing to work with him.
But this explains how those three survive to present day.
Many, many thousands of years. They were basically just in deep storage.
those Raiders on the planet that we met I think were just meant to be the long,
long descendants of the Knights Sisters and the Knight Brothers from that era.
but this kind of explains why they kept saying there was this puzzle of death
and decay over the pretty planet like something terrible happened here.
They're probably talking about what those ancient mortis gods did originally.
is basically the wasteland left over from
the things that the brother, the mortis gods did to the witch kingdom
that eventually caused this calamity that created the downfall.
Their race.
now in present day though, Baylan Skoll
seems like he's trying to find a place on the planet
like that mountain in the distance with the beacon
that will give him access to the mortis realm.
He could also be looking to enter the world between worlds too,
because the mortals gods had a mural near the entrance of mortis during rebels.
so their appearance on the series could also herald another entrance
to the world between worlds.
Either way, it looks like Balan skull is playing to end the cycle of all, warned
the universe. That's what he said he wants to do.
Like we don't want any more order 66.
So he wants to end all war everywhere in the universe. in.
In order to do that, he would need the power
on the level of the more smallest gods so he could be seeking to make himself
a new mortis. God, no.
Unless De Vallone changes the mortis Gods backstory in present day,
the original mortis gods were supposed to have died during the Clone Wars.
The exception to this is the Meri owl in Ahsoka herself.
so Meri contains some of the life force of the daughter.
We saw her during the like.
Ahsoka sees the owl, but the owl shows up every time that Ahsoka shows up.
like she helped Ezra in Ahsoka when they were in the War between Worlds
and then on The Mandalorian when the Sokka debut during season two,
we also saw the Maori owl.
There are two part of the reason why there's such a strong connection between
Mirai and Ahsoka is because they both contain life force of the daughter.
Literally, Ahsoka
has the life force of the daughter back during the Mortis episodes.
Ahsoka was about to die in.
The daughter
essentially gave her remaining life force to bring her back to life, to heal her.
so when present day Mirai and Ahsoka are like the last living
remnants of the daughter, avatars of the daughter.
no. I don't know if Dave Filoni is going to turn that into something bigger.
Like some of you asked me if this means Ahsoka will become
the daughter's replacement.
Is a mortis.
God herself in the way that Aniket is kind of replacing the mortis Gods,
The father basically told.
And again, this was his destiny to bring balance to the force.
But on a more cosmic scale in remember, this is George Lucas's idea
to create that storyline.
So he wanted an akin to take over balance of the force in a more cosmic way.
That's the funny thing with theories like that,
when people are like, No, that sounds crazy.
Why would any can ever become a God?
Well, it was George Lucas's idea to have this God
tell him that he was going to replace him eventually.
when you hear about
some of the deleted scenes from the prequels in the original trilogy,
George Lucas did have a lot of really crazy ideas
that just never wound up on the actual final cuts.
But that's why in present day,
you're seeing all this weird stuff like this force lure.
The more or less gods start to take shape in live action Because George Lucas had
all these really big ideas that he wanted to start in the animated episodes.
this means that a Baylan Skoll wants to use the power of the Mortis gods
and eventually winds up becoming one of the more says are similar to one of them.
He could become like the new version of The Sun,
even if that's not entirely what he's planning.
He's playing just trying to use the power of the mortis gods.
In an early theory, in a wind up driving him mad in an account in a sock.
We'll have to do something
to stop him from destroying the universe unintentionally.
Kind of the same way the brother eventually would have done
that had Obi-Wan Kenobi.
Ahsoka in anarchy, not stop him from leaving mortis.
but I think we're all on the same page, though, that Dave
Filoni will have to recast Ray Stephenson's Baylan Skoll character.
He's just way too big for them to not continue that story arc.
they might just fast track Ahsoka
Season two and do that after The Mandalorian Season four
and just continue all these plot threads during that.
Instead of waiting for the Thrawn movie.
before the season premiered, my theory was they would just do a full trilogy
of Thrawn movies that the first one works out.
Like if it does well financially and they just cover the rest
of all those storylines over the next 7 to 8 hours of that movie trilogy.
I think their idea now is that they'll just do seasons of Ahsoka
the Mandalorian
Skeleton Crew between the three movies any of their spinoffs they want to do end
that'll give them the time to stretch these movies out
so they don't have to rush them out too quickly.
You also have to remember the way
they paced things out like it was a glacial pace during Ahsoka season one.
It'll be like that on the Mandalorian season for the other series.
like it's going to be a while before we get answers to a lot of these questions
that also means that there's a crossover between Ahsoka Season
one and The Mandalorian Season four.
It'll probably be through Ezra Bridgers character in The New Republic.
Characters like Carson Tiba.
He was kind of the Mandalorian Season three
crossover character during the Circle Season one,
like standing up, Hey everybody, remember all the stuff
we just did in The Mandalorian Season three?
basically reminding
everybody about what was going on with the Mandalorians in present day,
they'll probably have a similar type of moment
during the Mandalorian season four, maybe like another Zeb cameo scene
because he's a Rebels character and he's on Carson Tevez's team
and what they might do to get the mandalorians involved
in the war against
Thrawn is basically do what they did during the Mandalorian season three.
So Carson Deva, when did the mandalorians in told them about everything?
Because The New Republic didn't want to believe that there was a threat.
So during The Mandalorian Season four, you have to imagine Carson, Tiba
and Ezra Bridge are going to Mando grow goo the Mandalorians and say,
Hey, look, there's this giant fleet.
Thrawn is back.
He brought a bunch of nice sisters with them.
There's a zombie army that they're going to resurrect,
And that explains how the mandalorians wind up in the Thrawn movie.
The next big teaser was Ahsoka taking the sort of tools
in that the Knights sisters gave to Morgan Elsbeth.
Remember, that's the exact same sword
that mother tells to use during the Clone Wars
and during the episode they literally use their force abilities to pull it
across galaxies, across space and time to give it to Morgan Elsbeth.
Too bad they can't pull each other across galaxies.
That would come in really handy.
What will probably happen is the sword will slowly begin to corrupt
Ahsoka and influence her the same way the Sith Hall across an influence.
Ezra Bridger during the rebels episode, he got darker and darker until Kanan
gave it to the bender.
You the probably give a soldier a similar type of arc
that Ezra had with that hologram.
Meanwhile, Ezra, back in the main galaxy, will spend most of his time
with Hera, the New Republic, trying to convince them
the threat of Thrawn, who is now back on Dathomir with the Knights Sisters
in Thrawn in the Knights.
Sisters will be preparing to resurrect his dead bodies in the caskets.
Marshal the forces of the Shadow Council, the remnant empire that'll take some time
to gather all those forces.
But Dathomir will be their staging point.
that'll probably continue to go on in the background
during the Mandalorian season four and Grogan
and Mando will just hear about it through Carson Tiba in Ezra, like I said,
early idea is that they just warn him about Thrawn in the Knights Sisters.
that little teaser with Anakin Skywalker's fourth ghost at the end
is probably going to pick up
at the beginning of season two, and he will help Ahsoka
figure out a way to get back and what to do next just in general.
Tying back into this whole more disguised Baylan Skoll plot.
as for Luke Skywalker and his Jedi Academy, everybody wondering
when they're going to involve Luke in the story.
I think if they fast track Ahsoka season two,
then they'll just save his next cameo for that Thrawn movie,
giving them enough time to introduce these other characters and flesh
out these other storylines and get better with their deepfake technology
so that when they do Luke again, it looks way, way better
But the whole idea was Sabine and now Grogu. Who is that?
They're like, the next Mandalorian
Jedi is after Tara Vizsla, the person who created the Darksaber.
A lot of you also asking
if Callixtus in Marin will show up during the storyline
because they're alive in this part of the timeline, they're saving live action.
Carl KASELL So after the third game in his trilogy,
which he actually just confirmed himself that they're working on right now,
the problem with that is it usually takes them about four years
to get those games out.
So we're not really expecting live action caucuses until after 2026.
they could also swerve on that idea and just give them their own live action
series in it totally be fine.
There's enough material with all those characters
to do their own series that could run for seven seasons.
but I'm sure everybody has a thousand more questions
about all the characters and what's happening next in the timeline.
So post them all in the comments below.
right now,
the Skeleton Crew series
is supposed to pick up
the next part of the story, but that's like a totally new group
of characters in a totally new part of the galaxy.
It's supposed to take place in the unknown,
but they also might wind up in that new parity, a galaxy, the other galaxy,
the other big reminder is that my Loki Season 2 Episode 1
