I know they're master and apprentice but it's almost like a "father/daughter" vibe going on there the way Shin's body language shows that she's constantly looking to Baylan for guidance, and him sitting back like a wise and charismatic mentor figure who isn't entirely evil. I can't wait to see more of these characters... at least as much as what remains. Rest in peace, Ray Stevenson.
Skoll and Hati. Lone Wolf and Cub.
I think Baylan will die this Season. But betting shin will grow in power, as a rival to sabine. My blind shot.
Which is weird since we have two much more likely rivals to her in Ezra and Ahsoka
I think they are Jedi who like Pong Krell sensed something dark was about to happen ducked out of the war at the right time. They then saw Thrawn and realized he was the best bet to form something better than the Republic and the Empire with a slightly darker Jedi serving it.
Yeah, Thrawn leading a government with a more effective Order of Force users would be... OP 😅
I wonder if Baylan Skoll was Pong Krell's padawan, and learned of the coming darkness from him.
"Jedi Ronin" is how I'd describe them
Mandarin Jedi 🍊
My favorite part was chopper. He was absolute perfection onscreen.
My favourite psychopathic astromech! Wonderful to see him.
Trust
I can’t believe I actually understood some of the stuff he was saying. Hera and Sabine were great. I wonder if Hera and Kanans son is force sensitive.
Loved that he suggested shooting down that ship right over the city 😂
I think i maybe starting to speak droid as I was able understand some of what he was saying based on the number sounds and what was said to him to Hera.
Its' heartbreaking that Ray Stevenson passed just after completing season 1. I hope that we at least see more of Shin in season 2 - aside from Ray's obvious fantastic presence, I LOVE Ivanna Sakhno's performance as Shin so far. She's absolutely ICE COLD.
very sad indeed :( look here mars , look here
Disney has a REAL knack for picking actors who kark it right after they hit the screen. Carrie Fisher, Ray Stevenson, Chadwick Boseman.
It's like the universe is trying to tell them something.
R.I.P. Ray Stevenson
One thing worth noting is that the crystal may not be partially bled but partially healed. If balan was once a jedi sentinel, combined with his respect for the old jedi ways, and imprinted that portion of himself upon a bled crystal it would cause it to start moving from red to yellow which would also allow for the orange coloration.
For Shin however I can help but get the feeling she is going to turn Balan due to a sheer hunger for power that has not fully taken root and so her crystal may only be partially bled because of it.
I can't wait to see what happens next.
I mean, Ray is dead irl😢😢 so his character can't continue in the series. But I don't think shin will kill him. I think some shiz is gonna go down and he ends up dying. Then in season 2 shin is out for revenge against whoever killed him/caused his death. But who knows.😅.
I give these two episodes a 10/10. And this show by far, tops my top favorite Star Wars shows that has been released in recent years. I can’t wait to follow Ahsoka in her journey to find Ezra and Thrawn
Snips has been my favorite character since the Clone wars. This shows feel like a Rebels movie.
@ImTrans-Former yep I can already see the fan edits
Have you not seen Andor? Ahsoka pales in comparison to the story and production value.
In my opinion, the writing for Ahsoka is lazy and the lead female performances are flat. Balin and Shin are by far the most interesting characters in the show but everyone else doesn't do their animated predecessors justice.
Chopper and Huyang are the only live-action adaptations that are well executed. I will watch the show but I think Filoni could have done better.
Can only say I cancelled my Disney subscription as they killing star wars
My theory is he is the Jedi Shadow version of who Mace Windu was, that rather than purple, his exposure to the dark side made his blade orange, and that like Mace Windu, he was not afraid to lean towards the dark side while still being somewhat anchored in the light. They are not looking for power, and they are reluctant to have to potentially kill a Jedi, so they have not fallen to the dark side. They may be more Gray than Dark, and not hesitant to do what they need to do to achieve their mission, which may see them turn on Thrawn, since they may be on a mission to stop him, or some Sith threat.
albeit remember that Baylan literally says that if Thrawn returns, for them it would be "inimaginable power" in answer to "what's in it for us ?"
So I think he is still after power.
The question is "did he know he was working to free Thrawn" or not ?
He was "paid" to do stuff. It doesn't mean he knew the end goal before the map appeared. In that case, your take would be correct. He wouldn't be "looking" for power. He just would think that's what they would get.
But if he knew, and was pushing for it, well, then you'd be wrong.
While I don't like the women power stuff there, I like the series so far as you are.
"Jedi Ronin" is how I'd describe them
@@Lirky77 - Morgan has been pretty clear that their goal is to find Thrawn. That said, Baylan lived through the decline of the Old Republic and the Jedi Order. Indeed, half of his life has been spent avoiding the consequences of their failures. So he may see Thrawn as the means to establishing an effective galactic government. The New Republic is already becoming as bad as the Old, so why would Baylan support it? He probably thinks that Luke Skywalker is a naïve fool for trying.
But, at the same time, Baylan is training Shin like a Jedi padawan, only without the emphasis on the Light. He may want to see the Jedi Order revived. But he would prefer that it be a strong faction in a strong Empire, not the minions of the Republic Senate like the old Jedi were.
I am blind and listen to the descriptive narration. It refer to Bailan and shin as dark Jedi.
Maybe balan and shin are force users that they follow their own version of the jedi code and now they believe though the grand adrimal thawrn they can create a new jedi order and I love the ashoka show, especially after episode 1, where it definitely reminds me of maul and qui gon brief duel on tattione when sabine and shin duel
Orange was from the Old Republic era. And it was a natural color, like purple, that was in tune with the user. Kyber crystals are clear to start with. Don't change color until later. Some other crystals are various colors to start with. Colors are not defined by alignment. Because a number of Jed'aii and Jedi used red bladed sabers.
I think there's something that this video overlooks regarding the Orange Lightsabers, and that is the true nature behind what an orange crystal entails. Orange isn't just an adherence to both light and dark, but rather a different sense of darkness aimed towards a light-oriented objective. Instead of the selfish ambition that defines the Sith, who use red crystals, orange represents a sense of righteousness tainted by obsessive fury to the point where the ends justify the means, including the use of the Dark Side for what they believe to be a noble pursuit. This is evidenced in Jedi Survivor when we watch Dagan Gera bleed his crystal, pouring in his obsession with Tanalorr and the fury at being betrayed by the Jedi Order in what he believed to be a righteous endeavor.
It stands to reason that Baylan & Shin share this sense of "righteous fury" and that they are not motivated by selfish desires, but rather by what they justify to be a noble goal, even if the means of achieving that goal involve embracing the Dark Side. Such opponents are certainly VERY dangerous because they have such a strong sense of conviction that what they're doing is right (much like Thanos in the MCU), and they may have circumstantial evidence to support their world views given the failures of the old Jedi Order, failures that they will not see repeated if their goal is to build up a new Jedi Order in their image, one that wields absolute power in a new Empire to be established by Thrawn, but power that is wielded in an almost benevolent fashion to protect the citizens of the galaxy, even if that entails dissolving freedom.
Which is sort of aligned with Thrawn as well. Pragmatic and cold, but with a soft spot for culture; ends justifies the mean, but not in the same way as Tarkin.
Basically he wants to be a Jedi version of Emperor Palpatine. I can dig it.
So basically, they're not Jedi falling to the Dark, just force users who are more offensive and passionate than typical Jedi.
They have a self-righteousness about them, but not so arrogant as to fully become greedy such as the Sith, or Dark Jedi falling more into corruption.
So, you can go Purple or Orange if you wanna do you're own thing, but not fall to the Dark.
"Jedi Ronin" is how I'd describe them
Shin has a Padawan braid. So clearly Baylan has chosen to retain the Jedi Master/Padawan dynamic, rather than emulating the Sith. It seems likely that he wants a new (Dark) Jedi Order that isn't so specifically focused on the Light Side, but which still follows the same general set of principles as the old Jedi Order. That would explain his lack of aggression against others with connection to the Jedi. He will fight them as needed, but would probably prefer to recruit them into a new Order that is aligned with the Empire, rather than the New Republic.
"Jedi Ronin" is how I'd describe them
Wouldn't they technically be kinda "gray"? That shin can't be trusted
@@Jiron127 - It's debatable (and has been for decades) as to what, exactly, constitutes a "Grey" Jedi. It's not generally possible to wield both sides of the Force as your normal technique. Baylan and Shin clearly lean towards the Dark Side. They're just not as immersed in it as a Sith would be. Which is why they don't look like freaks.
When Baylan fought Ahsoka you can clearly see his reluctance towards killing ahsoka. He only wanted to fight with her until the coordinates were done. When Ahsoka achieved to stop it he was pissed and went straight into action, because his plans were stopped. Ahsokas action against Hati then raged Baylan to finally kill her. So Baylan is pretty reluctant towards his opponents until his plan's are being stopped, just like in episode 1 in the hangar, when they just wanted to get morgan out without causing blood, but the admiral stopped this plan.
@@Taxisch - My sense is that Baylan wants to build his own Jedi Order, because honestly, why should he trust Luke Skywalker to do it? Was Luke raised in the old Order? No! That Shin wears a Padawan braid suggests that while Baylan acknowledges that they were not Jedi, he means that they are not Jedi of the sort that the old Order produced (i.e. not puppets of the Republic). Seeing the NR already showing signs of decay after just five years, Baylan may see Thrawn as a better ally for a (Dark) Jedi Order that could *impose* peace on recalcitrant systems who are proving how fragmented the NR already is.
Hope we get some sort of training flashback with these two, they seem to have a strong bond
I suspect that Baylen may embrace the light and the dark side of the force. Just solely on what we've seen so far, attacking the republic officers and freeing a known criminal suggests a dark side allegiance, however his empathy for light side force wielders suggests a connection to the light as well. I really look forward to exploring this character further.
Great breakdown, thanks for sharing
The question is, why do these two care about Thrawn coming back? How does that benefit them exactly? Will they make a deal with Thrawn? Help him take over the galaxy in exchange for being able to set up a new order of force wielders in their image? Speaking of which, what motivates Thrawn at this point? Palpatine is dead. The threats to the Chiss People in the Unknown regions?
Well, we know they’re mercenaries now. And Baylan said that when Thrawn returns for some it will mean war, for others a new beginning…but for him and Shin: power.
I think that they are trying to carve out a place in the galaxy for themselves, one where they needn’t fear being hunted by the Empire, or be beholden to the Republic. With an Empire that lacks Palpatine and is led by Thrawn, they could stand to gain influence and maybe start a new Order of their own.
2? There are 3 of them! We saw ashoka fight the 3rd one.
Thrawn is a military and tactical genius. He can lead the empire possibly to its former glory.
I think Baylan was meant to be a substitute for Joruus C'baoth from the original thrawn trilogy. They have implied many times that they are adapting the Thrawn trilogy as part of their long-term plans for star wars tv just changing the cast. I think the power Baylan seeks is to clone a force sensitive army.
@@trekker683 sadly that can't be true now. Rip Ray Stevenson. Hopefully they do bring in Cbaoth now that they introduced dark jedi
Shin is a beast
I genuinely hope Ahsoka has at least really good and PEAK writing as Andor.
This was an interesting look into the series. And I love where it's going so far. But the series hasn't explained how Sabine became Ashoka's apprentice.
That will probably be explained in the coming episodes maybe in a flashback
well we know because of rebels but ya they should also explain it as likely a large amount of viewers have not watched rebels
Interested too. Huyang clearly states Sabine essentially has effectively no force capacity. And the Darksaber is gone now too. Of what use is it to train what is effectively a normal human being with almost no Force talents?
@@osrishunter---I hope it is explained at some point.
Thanks for responding everyone
Baylin and Shin remind me of Dagan Gera from the new Jedi Survivor game. In the game we get to see a high republic jedi open his saber and in real time change the crystal from yellow to red and reassemble the saber. Cal Kestis has a more pure orange crystal but Baylan and Shins are noticeably more red. I think they definately have khyber krystals in their sabers but they seem like they used to be green crystals that were corrupted and still hold a portion of their original color. I imagine they want Baylan and Shin to be closer to the Bogan, my best guess is that they're something like 65% Sith, 35% Jedi. Floating between Dark Jedi and Sith.
That’s a great explanation of the orange lightsaber, well done!
Sabine had one job. Within about five minutes of meeting her she's already fumbling it!
I hope baylan and shin have some other goal in mind besides bring back thrawn so he can tell them what to do
You know that's exactly what's gonna happen. Filoni ain't exactly a great writer.
It sounds like their goal is to get to the other galaxy
@@WhoNow283why are you even here than
?? What would be a good story then?? They have to have some reason for busting thrawn out, either they are going to control him or he will control them. Not ik
@@WhoNow283He is.
Love it can't wait to learn more and see
I definitely enjoyed seeing the first 2 episodes. I like the idea that we might be traveling to a new galaxy.
I believe that the characters of Balin and shin have a very similar relationship as the ancient Sith lord Darth bane and Darth Zana because both of these new characters have a similar relationship of the master and apprentice to the ancient Sith Lourdes, the ones who brought the revenge of the Sith to fruition and culminated in the rise of the empire and the destruction of the Jedi order
surprised there hasn't been more mentioned about this. Even her crouched stance seems straight from the Rule of Two book cover.
I get a feeling that they are gonna be a Jensaarai group. The not fully dark and some Jedi teachings and they wear armor. Lots of possibilities there
New theroy. Baylan and Shin are actually the first version of Imperial Knights. Neither light nor dark side (as shown by the in-between lightsaber color) but rather dedicated to the Emipre willing to use anything to further its cause.
I agree with this more than how Dark Jedi term is being overused right now.
I love ahsoka series tonight it's so cool can't wait for episode 3 next week baylan Jedi survivor
So far I’m having fun watching it. I’m really enjoying the mysticism
I want to see more already haha!
Love where their going with this!!
Jedi Survivor 2 suggests that Orange is a form of Self-Righteousness, a form of bleeding.
The biggest takeaway from the premier for me was the neighboring galaxy. What awaits there, and has anyone from our galaxy traveled there?
Yep definitely like I'm super intrigued by that and I think this sets up the Grysk as the main villain for the Filoni movie perhaps
Baylan & Shin remind me of Bane & Zannah. In that series, Zannah had a natural talent for magic. Shin seems intrigued with Morgan. My guess is that she'll betray Baylan and become Morgan's protégé before the series ends.
I love these two characters, but I have to admit that I am mostly curious to how Sabine will do in her continued training. I guess I want to see all the characters progress and tell us more backstory. Such a great show based on these 2 eps
I think they're rogue Jedi Sentinels who broke with the Sentinels dogmatic opposition to the dark side after the Sentinels failed completely to detect and stop Sidious. Because Sentinels have such strong force of will they are able to encounter, and I think in Baylen's case (by extension his apprentice) even use the dark side without succumbing to it.
Sentinels are known to fake their own deaths which would make it easy for them to avoid the purge. Perhaps Baylen deaires to fix the Sentinel's ultimate ball drop using the world between worlds but I think more likely, he realizes dogmatic clinging to light or dark is a recipe for failure.
Glad they didn't kill Sabine in the first act.
This parallels my opinion on blade colour.
Huyang: he serves no master but himself.
I was hoping this video would tell the tale of a neutral class of force users, between red and blue. Like the Father of balance in the World Between Worlds. Orange lightsabers make it look like a third non-Sith and non-Jedi faction. Likely a misdirect, but fun if true. If they do make a third faction, what is the name? Does Ahsoka join Baylan and Shin?
I couldn’t make up my mind whether I liked or not the new villains, Baylan and shin during the trailers mostly because well they were just the trailers but after the first episodes I couldn’t believe how cool they were especially Baylan. He gives off a combination of dooku and Vader vibes, dooku on his overall posture and how he looks like dooku in a way and Vader on the way he fights. Two handed with a heavier saber than usual. And especially after learning they weren’t sith not even sith sympathiser just darker force users who follow their own path that was when I said damn finally this is exactly what i wanted. No more Jedi no more sith. Just people on their own paths colliding with each other. I was so hyped for today’s episode too hoping to see any scene of baylan. All I can say so I won’t spoil is when he appeared you could tell he is coming hard for them. Rip Ray Stevenson hope his last performance for the rest of this series remains as amazing as it already is if not even better
He could have been a younger temple guard at the time. Remember the temple guards betrayed the jedi and let order 66 happen in a way because most of the temple guards became disillusioned with the jedi.. maybe instead of blaming the jedi order he just blamed the jedi of the times and escaped before or maybe during the mayhem of order 66. That would explain his abilities with the blade and the force. His new alignment could have caused a partial bleed to his saber and his padawan was probably specifically chosen for her alignment, also the way he sends his padawan on missions is more sith like. I can't wait to see the rest.. love your videos... this is the best place on youtube !
Best Star Wars show too date. After the first 2 episodes, I'm as excited for the show as I was Mandalorian.
Shinn has ultra rare 8th jedi combat form " the no blink technique"
Baylan stole every scene he was in, Ray was a great actor and will be missed.
They nailed the use of the orchestra in this show
Love it
When I see Baylan & Shin I think Desann & Tavion.
Audio Description of the episodes currently refers to the pair as “False Jedi”. Though this may just stem from their opening reveal in the first episode.
I wonder how strong they will end up being?
Shin toyed with Sabine after a bit of work and is notably still wearing a Padawons braid. But sensing Ahsoka coming? She looked terrified and beat it the hell out of there. Ahsoka would have enormously more experience, but she was never knighted. But, I get the feeling her capacity and skill in the force is vastly stronger. She was also about to end the Inquisitor as well too before he wisely fled.
Baylan, if he is the superior one so far of them three....I dont like his chances in a fight now lol xD But seeing his respect for Ahsoka and his obvious attachment to other Jedi....I wonder if he may be convinced to turn.
You’re technically right with Ashoka, but that’s only because she choose not to graduate and left the order. By the end of the clone wars she was one of the best duelist in the Galaxy and close to the start of the Galactic Civil War she was able to seriously harm Darth Vader (damn near killed him) aka a Sith Lord/Chosen One/her former master and strongest Jedi ever. So she’s a tier one duelist (not at the top level tier one like Mace, Anakin/Vader, Yoda, Sideous, etc but right below them). Balin better bring some serious power and skill to compete with her. That’s why his apprentice was so scared and retreated so quickly.
Ahoska would be a master easily if she still was a official Jedi. I can’t wait to see the two former Jedi duel. I hope to see it on my O-led that time.
@@nathansheldahl well said. She earned her props against some of THE best.
Very few can ever say they felled Vader even once in a fight.
She beat maul and survived a fight with Grievous lol
@@richardblack3385 No argument there. In fact considering her master up until JUST prior to her graduation was among the strongest and best force users/duellists, she was already by then probably well above the average Jedi Knight. She did after all fell Vader himself once.
Very few even lived after trying to fight him 1v1.
If Shin had tried to fight ahsoka, it would've been game over. Ahsoka would've bodied that chick.
I view Baylan and Shin as bad like Jango or Boba but not evil like the inquisitors or Darth Vader. They seem to have a father daughter bond as well as a master and apprentice. Shin seems to only trust Baylan(for now). Baylan seems to have honor but is willing to kill those who oppose him even if he doesn’t enjoy doing so.
What if the crystal changes its color slowly as the wielder changes its alignment within the force?
I love how comics that Disney has approved make Rey using Anakin and Leia's lightsabers to defeat Palpatine even more bullshit than it already was
Also when it comes to the lightsabers, I think they’re Synthetic crystals and that’s the the color isn’t as bold as the real Kyber
Could be but I think more likely they are simply as close as a natural crystal can get to red without being bled
The thing ive been thinking about is lately is that i believe these two jedi were sentinels and at the fall of the order he bled his yellow crystal turning it orange.
Shin reminds me of Lana Beniko. I wonder if Lana served as inspiration for Shin.
Bailen is going to be the dooku we never got
Baylon reminds me of Count Doku
RIP Ray Stevenson!
So by this theory, their crystals were yellow? Yellow partially bleed is orange.
I was going to give up on the show.. till Chopper showed up ! Im all in again !
Daradi!!! That should be their name!!
I want see marrok remove his helmet, duel of the fates begin playing, it’s Sam Whither playing StarKiller, he and Ahsoka begin their duel. A non-Jedi and a non-sith both using both sides of the force
Hey Stupendous wave. Were the jedi or former jedi that left the order prior to order 66 ever targeted by the empire?
Baylan is the best part so far...Rip Ray
I think Baylan and Ashoka will turn out to be two sides of the same coin. They both shunned the Jedi but they haven't truly abandoned their former ways. Baylan's motivation to find Thrawn might go beyond just being a hired mercenary, I think he secretly wants to either kill Thrawn or control him for what he believes is the greater good. Him and Shin might end up teaming up with Ashoka and Sabine against Thrawn and Morgan, with him and Ashoka later dying.
I agree, I think Ahsoka will die. We know that she dies at some point before Rise of Skywalker, and we will probably want to see her death on screen.
Orange lightsaber crystals are generally for Jedi who obstain violence from what I recall. They prefer diplomacy. They seem to be a variant of grey Jedi who are far closer to the dark side then the middle.
Shin is one of the most badass characters introduced in the Disney era.
In KOTOR, you went to spider cave and cracked open eggs to get krystals, and there were several colors. I changed mine several times. So it’s possible to find them.
1:31 it was weird to see Baylan not murder all the new republic security. But his apprentice did seem to murder them all. So who knows if she has more nefarious motives
I absolutely love these characters! Also I think the map only leads them to the gateway to the beyond/unknown regions. Because we know in canon the only thing that can navigate one Through the cluster to reach the beyond/unknown regions is the Wayfinder!
Personally I love how they started it like they started episode 1 the phantom menace
Red light saber crystals are synthetic I thought 🤔
Interesting
know if I see one more person get run through with a light saber and not die I’m going to lose my shit!! this is absolutely out of control.
Does anyone else feel like they’re gonna watch an episode of Game of Thrones when the end credits come on for Asoka Tana?
Inquisitor lightsaber was orange too.
shyn also has a padawan braid
There was a website devoted to Star Wars that had a Force Academy section. I have the light side and a dark side. It also listed a Shadow side. Stating the two side of the force are they really one side or the other. There are those they that are on the side of the coin that walk both the light and the dark. Thy use light when it called for and dark when it called for. Luke does this in the Return of the Jedi. When he chokes the pig guard to death at Jabba's Palace. This I think Baylan and Shin would be considered Shadow. Not all in as the Jedi or the Sith. But straddle the line.
Its tragic dude died....this was a character that would be awesome to see more of.....ill take him over rey any day lol
Is Ahsoka ship was that count Dooku ship when he and qui Gon was his apprentice and it is the same ship that Dooku and Mace Windu used it in a Jedi tale
Why partial bleed ... seems like that'd weaken it nit either being on 1 side or the other... but halfway... ?
Theres a special class of Jedi sentinel. I can't remember. The name . But him being a master . That old . Makes sense to be one of the most powerful class of Jedi . Like qui-gon. Most feared by sidious
well i wasn't even considering wasting time whit ahsoka, but baylan and shin did spark some interest for it.
Baylan,shin and dagan gera have been probably the best force welder characters in years from cannon that are not of course characters like kenobi and ect. hopefully they don't build these characters up to be a maker threat just to side line them like they did dagan gera
would be cool if they were a Jensaarai nod
Shin felt more feral and animal like in her movements and behavior.
Rey at the ending of TROS has a Yellow Light Saber...thoughts???
Are you sure it wasn't the soul stone. 😆
Baylan's lightsaber looks like it has a wee face with its tongue sticking out 😛
Seeing as it's a Thrawn story, i feel they are like Jorus C'Baoth and Lorana Jinzler.
The Orange Lightsaber represents, at least to me, a Jedi who is motivated by what they deem to be the Greater Good, and are willing to do whatever is necessary to achieve it, including killing. That is to say, they are self-righteous yet their motives are sincere in spite of the fact that they willingly touch upon the Dark Side, but do not seem to let it enslave them as do the Sith and Dark Side-affiliated followers of the Force
The Purple Lightsaber, to me, indicates a Jedi who acknowledges their own darkness and even channel it to a degree yet they remain staunchly and rigidly in the Light. However, such a state of mind seems to imply a Jedi who would be arrogant and blind in other ways. Tho Mace Windu was a powerful and revered Jedi Master, he always seemed like, to me, an example of everything wrong with the Jedi Order up until the Great Jedi Purge
So Orange and Purple seem to be reflections of each other with subtle but defining differences
I dunno, Purple doesn't mean you're arrogant, it means you've balanced yourself, and while you have strong emotions in combat, you're not gonna succumb to the Dark.
Mace was definitely everything wrong with the Jedi, but his purple Lightsaber isn't any reflection of that
@@thalmoragent9344 I don’t mean to say that _every_ Jedi with a purple saber is inherently arrogant. Mace was known not only for his saber but also for his mastery of the lightsaber form of Vapaad, which requires the practitioner to channel the Dark Side w/o being drawn into it too deeply. More than once we’ve seen Mace express himself in ways that seemed arrogant to a degree or even questionable in regards to his position as a Jedi Master and as a member of the Jedi Council. Such as a self-assurance that the Jedi (and he) are in the right regardless of what or who says otherwise, and even when proven wrong, like the time when Ahsoka was exonerated after the Council expelled her, Mace, along with Yoda, Ki-Adi, and Saesee didn’t take responsibility for their actions against her nor did they apologize, instead shifting the blame onto the Force by saying “the Force works in mysterious ways” while their offer to reinstate her and promote her to Jedi Knight was clearly a bribe
Baylan stated in “Ahsoka” that they (himself, his apprentice Shin, Morgan and even Marrok) seek a great power. Power is the thing that Sith live for and crave above all else. But Baylan and Shin are _not_ Sith nor have they fully immersed themselves into the Dark Side otherwise their lightsabers would bleed red instead of orange, which at least indicates they are motivated by a sincere righteousness in their goals yet are willing to do whatever it takes to achieve them out of what could possibly be a sense of “the greater good”. Some Sith claim some kind of self-righteous rhetoric for their goals but these are lies, both to others as well as to themselves, in a vain effort to disguise the fact that they seek power for the sake of power even if they start off with what they claim otherwise. Anakin sought power becuz originally he wanted the power to save others from death while Dooku wanted to end corruption in the Republic Senate and the Jedi Order, but in the end their true intentions and the natures of them were plain for all to see
Altho we’ve only begun to see Baylan and Shin, so we’re just gonna have to wait and see how they turn out
Who’s that third dude with the crazy medieval armor
Inquisitior Merrik
They looked red to me
8:10- I got a couple! “50 Shades of Gray Jedi” or “Part-time Jedi” or “Disney Jedi” or even “Woke Jedi”!!! Yeah, that sounds about right
Legends fans forgive TOTJ for giving Yaddle a green lightsaber😂
I agree with this. Baylan and Shin are very interesting. Their lightsabers mean that they are between. They are very powerful and not evil. They just want to re-make Jedi Order. And Republic possibly. I would like to know more about them. Very interesting. May the Force be with you too. Have a great day too😊
He seems to be a seeier, so he avoided order 66, he can see what happens if thrawn returns, he spoke as if he knew aniken and Vader or should say foresaw it. As a seeier he would spend most his time in the temple so yellow would be a reasonable color option. I don't think that he bleed his Saber nor do I think his apprentice would have a matching Saber color unless it's the crystal it self. I don't believe I. Coincidence so I'm guessing there is some thing special about their kyber crystals paired with their joined back story. Some thing they shared part in or collected specific kyber.
