An Easter Egg you missed: When Ezra pretends to be a Night Trooper, one of those Night Troopers said LS-757.
LS-757 is a Stormtrooper seen in the Rebels episode "Rebel Assault". He was stationed on Lothal and later on the Chimaera! Fun little easter egg/cameo!
Love your easter egg videos!
I havent catch that, but I found out when I was searching it up for my trivia questions that I do with friends and his page on wookiepedia showed up lol
Nice catch! You, my friend, are a true star wars nerd
And his number is very similar to Rex's: 7567
This is the kind of nerdy stuff I love.
Sabine's stunt double, Chau Naumova, is one of Hera's pilots in ep4 AND the pilot who jumps into the water to pull out Ahsoka in ep5.
I never knew that.
@@PolishGigachad-2937 I think it's an Eastern European name.
"Witches just love to ride big ol' creatures, I guess?" --Star Wars Explained [after dark]. Great work Alex. I love the energy and passion you have for Star Wars and the positivity is a refreshing change of pace from what others are doing. Please keep doing this excellent work.
An Easter egg I wanted to point out is that Anakin's line "you lack conviction" during his fight with Ahsoka seems like it's subtly modulated to sound like his robotic Vader voice
12:43 I think the "non-traditional" aspect of Obi-Wan could be referring to him mentoring a Padawan that the Council didn't want trained due to Anakin's age and the cloud of uncertainty that surrounded him
He tried to teach Anakin to follow the rules for his apprentice's own good, but man is the first that would disobey the council and go help satine or fight maul if needed
Loving your Ahsoka content, you guys are the best.
Ik you’ve said this before but I wish you’d mentioned that the World Between Worlds is a reference to the Wood Between Worlds from the Chronicles of Narnia series.
Which works extra well with the name of the last episode of this season referencing the lion the witch and the wardrobe
@@legoboy468 exactly
One thing I've noticed is that the T-6 Shuttle used by Ahsoka & Huyang throughout season 1 looks way too old to be of CW vintage, it almost looks like the older model of shuttle used by Dooku and Qui-Gon in TOTJ episode 2.
Am I the only one that sees the similarities to the two designs, or am I just pulling at straws?
Ahsoka says Huyang has been flying that ship longer than she's been alive, so it's definitely an ancient model.
I wondered if maybe Tales of the Jedi was being made at the same time as Ahsoka, so they updated the design to more closely match the show
You mentioned the connection between the Great Mothers and the Graeae, well, it's deeper than that. After Perseus beheaded Medusa, he used her head to kill a sea monster called Cetus -- a word that later became the Greek word for whale -- to save Andromeda, after whom a galaxy far, far away is named. Furthermore, Pegasus was born from Medusa's body and Bellerophon rode him to defeat the Chimera.
Instead of Minas Tirith, I think the Great Mothers' tower was inspired by its sister-city Minas Morgul. Once known as Minas Ithil, it was captured by Sauron and became home to the Nazgul, led by the Witch-King. The new name means "Tower of Dark Sorcery" and had some associations with necromancy, especially since the Ringwraiths were undead. In Peter Jackson's films the Witch-King's magic even has a similar sickly green color as Nightsister magic.
Thank you for sharing this wealth of knowledge!
Thank you for that information! It also tracks with this " Project Necromancer" mentioned by Capt. Palleion in the Mandalorian!!!
My head is spinning. So much info!
The Kiners’ music for Sabine & Kanan in Rebels are some of the greatest musical works…Ever❤️
Oh man her mom's hair clip, I really hope we get some tie in material about Sabine's training and the purge of Mandalore
Obi-Wan defied the council and said he'd train Anakin anyways. So they gave in. Seems pretty untraditional for a Jedi especially a Padawan.
This is where the fun begins
the howler just looks like the Vornksr from heir to the Empire tho
With everything going on in the world this is the kind of distraction I need ❤ ty
I haven't seen anyone talk about this yet, but are they setting up Sabine for the new mandalorian leader? She's the last to rightfully win the dark saber and now she can even use the force. Seems like Mando and Bo Katan would unite behind her.
for a moment i though that was lando calrissian
In the republic heroes video game, anakin and ahsoka are shown fighting in aftermath of the battle of ryloth.
Just like in the ahsoka series.
In episode 3 during the training, Ahsoka says “ let’s go again” which Anakin says as well during her training session in tales of the Jedi episode 5. I really feel like the Ahsoka episodes of TOTJ were created to set this whole show up and I love how many connections there are.
I think when Ezra fights without a lightsaber, is similar to (unarmed) Mace Windu fight scene in Clone Wars Micro series and maybe Windu in Clone Wars "The Disappeared".
I'm seriously impressed that you're able to get out 40 minute videos out in like a day.
i think he chips away at these and records between episodes
In the final scene Sabine says "it's just Shadows in the Starlight", this can be a reference to the comic The High Republic - Shadows of the Starlight
Jabba 😅 wouldn't it have been great if Ezra had the little nodi calling him Jabba and when Sabine met them she could still figure it out if they somehow said Jabba. Knowing that's his classic alias
But he's Brom Titus
@@bemasaberwyn55 nah he's Lando Calrissian that's obvious
Don't know if that was brought up by someone else but I catched a reference that wasn't mentioned by you:
Huyang says "you must be very good student" which calls back to "trials of the darksaber" where sabine says that ezra "must have been a very good student" to got that good by the teachings of kanan jarus
Thank you for this video.
15:08 Oh man, I would kill for any actual High Republic-reference in the Mandoverse.
RIP Ray Stevenson
If we keep remembering him, he will never truly be gone.
I liked every thing but I was the most happy to see a Live action super commando mandalorian
Just noticed but the ghost also appears in the screenshot used at 2:17 of this video. In the top left of the shot.
Preaster Eggs! Bless your heart! ❤
Another amazing video
the howlers look extremely similar to Vornskyrs i think, they’re wolves and the predator to the ysalamiri
When she (Ahsoka) concentrates on the Map, did anyone else hear the chime sounds for Cal's psychometry in Fallen Order and Survivor?
Scion is also from the Knights of the Old Republic 2 game
Q/A Will we Loth wolves in live action? Would be a missed opportunity by Dave
Idk if it counts as an Easter Egg, but the music that plays when the troopers are being reanimated is reminiscent of Danse Macabre by Camille Saint-Saens, which would make thematic sense
19:40 figure it was from some concept art somewhere over the last 30 yrs
I was happy they name the three nightsisters we met on perida after the three fates we met in Greek mythology!
I'd say Obi-Wan is kinda non-traditional too.
He was the first Jedi to kill a Sith in over 1.000 years, he almost quitted the Jedi because he loved Satine and loved her probably until his death and also he let his best friends marriage and love slide without saying anything because he knew it would be wrong to interfere. These are all things most other Jedi wouldn't have done or didn't achieve
Agreed, Kenobi was far from traditional based on sass alone
@@joemcnulty6814 lmao yea. Kenobi is the master of trolling and roasting
13:15 She flew during the Christophsis and Umbara Campaigns
Well done good sir. I am very impressed.
The Door of Kuget, isnt that the same door from Malachor Ahsoka walked into
15:30 I would not be surprised if we learnt it was djem-so considering his stature it would make sense
It’s too bad Sabine didn’t use her jet pack it would’ve come in handy
Grand Admiral Thrawn he was up to no good.
Started causing trouble in the Purrgilhood!
33:41 You said it backwards. "Do. Or do not. There is no try"
So Mr krabs is now a governor, perfect.
The picture of Kanan at 14:03 looks awfully similar to Freddie Prinze Jr, his voice actor.
I would say that the world between world is a place between time and space not outside it in my opinion
Just started the video and out loud said TWOHUNDERTSEVENTEEN?!
217...DAMN (thats a two sylable damn by the way)
The Ahsoka show was one of my favorite shows of 2023 aside from the Bad Batch Season Two.
the blade of Talzin is NOT the same blade that Mother Talzin used against Mace. the hilts are completely different. that would make Talzin more of a title than a name
i mean, sure, he was pretty traditional but i don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. he was nothing if not wise & heroic
Return of the Jedi is different because it was either a mistake or meant to be the conclusion
It's never been fixed, so likely the latter.
Jabba lost a lot of weight.
Could it be "Zone of Occlusion"?
shin fighter remind me of a ww2 race plane called Gee Bee Model R
I really liked this show, I don't care what the haters think. The soundtrack was one of the best Star Wars soundtracks since the prequels. Also, it was clearly more thought of by Filoni as "Rebels Season 5" than a standalone "Ashoka" show, but I'm okay with that. The only thing I'm not looking forward to is having to wait 3+ years to find out how Ashoka and Sabine get off of Peridea and back to the correct galaxy.
Do you think that Bendu is a Rancor from Peredia??
👍
I'm not convinced the death troopers were zombies. They were heavily cybernetically enhanced, maybe their skin was ruined as a result
12:30 I know it's more of a cute sidenote but he is no jedi nor mandalorian... for now
Idk why, but when you said Chopper was voiced by Dave Filoni, I legitimately yelled: "HOW DO YOU VOICE A CHIRP?" At my phone
Alright listen, I've got to say, how can you not know about all the other Dathomir refrenses? I mean it makes me so sad for you 😢
Did Thrawn consult on the Seige Of Mandalore
The Seige of Mandalore was back at the end of the Clone War, Thrawn was still in Chiss space at the time. The Great Purge of Mandalore was near the end of the Galactic Civil War, and happened while Thrawn was in the other galaxy. At best, they used whatever information he left them from when he was working with Tyber Saxon, but that's all.
Why is Thrawn trying to protect the lives of his troops? The night sisters can make them undead so they can’t be killed in battle. Thrawn trying to keep them actually alive makes me think there must be a big disadvantage to undead troopers.
Mindlessness, most likely. They can use weapons, but they're mostly juat brute force rather than tactics. Thrawn is all about controlling as much of the battlefield as possible.
Why do you keep referring to that fevered force dream as if it happened?.
'Easter eggs' or just continuity?
Both? Both. Both is good.
Are you sure its Not Bogan Jedi, meaning unrefined
It's Bokken. It's in the subtitles :)
Thank you
@@nodatastored684 You're very welcome! I hope your day is going well!
I felt it was a waste to kill her off Elsbeth. Who will fight against Jedis if she's not there? Thrawn and The Great Mothers don't fight with a lightsaber. Morgan was the best warrior of that group.
Ahsoka trended up with Ep 4-6. Then limped to the finish line with Ep 7 and 8 like Game of Thrones did in its final two seasons or episodes. With The Critical Drinker's video, I'm not as harsh towards Ahsoka but I agree about 80% of what he said especially his comments about Dave Filoni and Thrawn being more of an idiot than a threat.
Go back to Ep 8. Sabine crashes the ship. That delayed the group even more. But for convenience, they still catch up to Thrawn! 😂 They give Sabine her Force powers at the most appropriate time. Thrawn giving every chance to Ahsoka to catch up while he is on this giant star destroyer that completely misses everytime they aimed at Ahsoka & Co.
Thrawn should not feel any sense of accomplishment. Morgan, Baylan, and Shin helped them escape. Morgan died for him after her promotion while Baylan and Shin rescued Morgan. Lars is perfect as Thrawn but how he behaves is completely moronic. Blame the awful writing. Thrawn is shown being a genius at killing his own men who can't stop 3 people from entering a gate they should've destroyed in the first place and then pretending he accomplished something genius.
What a waste to lose Diana Lee Inosanto, goddaughter to Bruce Lee, while Rosario looks amateurish with a lightsaber. Diana is like 13 years older than Rosario and she still moved quicker and more fluid. I can understand Rosario learning this in her 40s. Hayden got to learn this in his early 20s. Diana since she was a child. But it's just not believable for Ahsoka to wins these fights from Rosario's slow moves.
I love Baylan Skoll. Why couldn't we get more of this guy? The only interesting character in all this. And if not him because maybe Filoni will save footage of him for next season, why not explain to us more about Shin Hati? What's her deal? I'm still completely confused on why Baylan left Shin? He took her with him only to separate with her? Why not just leave her back home? It's dumb writing that can turn interesting characters into morons.
I can understand Baylan asking Shin to have Sabine and Ezra killed. Remember, Baylan was making a deal with Sabine. If he got the map, he was willing to protect her until she found Ezra. So he did keep his word to Sabine until the moment he had to comply to what Thrawn demanded. But ditching Shin still had me confused. What if Shin isn't really like that? What if Baylan is prejudging her? He's saying she might be that way.
Now Baylan could also be protecting her from this entity that's calling him. I believe it would've been better had they stuck together. But since Ray passed away, it might be easier to show his final moments than if Shin was next to him. The moment Baylan and Shin got more interesting by Ep 6, they stopped showing them after it. What a tease! A whole lotta nothingburger! Ahsoka should've stayed a cartoon.
As one great comment told Thor Skywalker who compared Ahsoka to Andor, Ahsoka was a carrot on a stick but without a carrot. They would behave stupidly in between Point A to Point B just to get to the next point. They'll do stupid things to do something mildly interesting but without any tension because we all know Ahsoka and Sabine will overcome all obstacles including facing death and Sabine finding Ezra within 10 minutes and walking distance.
Not everything was bad. The positives are Baylan, Shin, Thrawn, and Ezra are standouts with their performances. Visually, while it does use Volume, it still looks quite stunning. Better than the Prequels that came out 20+ years ago. Music by Kiner was very good. And we did get live action Rebels with all the fan service Easter eggs and member berries.
Up to Ep 6, it really was trending up for me. Ep 1-3 were slow and weak. Ep 4-6 is peak Ahsoka. Then a step back with the penultimate episode which set up nothing. Then Ep 8 which I personally hate the most. The moment I saw Sabine crash that ship, I'm like WTF? This is not going to go well. Then things got so predictable with plenty of convenience moments.
Zero tension when facing those zombie troopers. Zero tension at all for the entire episode. I remember I kept looking at the time on my phone to see how much more we had left? Once I saw close to 30 minutes had passed, I knew we weren't going to see Baylan and Shin except for 30 seconds which exactly happened. Ep 8 went completely a different direction to how I saw it. And it's a direction I didn't care for with the silly, cartoonish writing.
The few issues I had with it negated it too much that it made me overlook the positives it had. I think Top Gun: Maverick and Cobra Kai have some bad writing in them too. A lot over-the-top crap. Same with Stranger Things. But they don't have consistently moronic moments. Ahsoka is now a 7.5 for me overall. Better than Kenobi and Fett which still isn't saying much. But inferior to these four MCU/SW series on Disney+...
"Great"
Loki: 9/10
Andor: 9/10
The Mandalorian: 9/10
"Good"
WandaVision: 8/10
Are there 217 lines of dialog?
Well at least we know where the plot, character developmemt, chereography, acting and consistency went. Who cares about any of that. Put in more easter eggs!
Please for the sake of decent entertainment, stop praising this sort of behaviour.
Easter eggs aren’t just fan service tidbits they add for the fun of it. It makes the shows and movies feel connected, and shows that the creators know what they’re doing. Would be kinda boring if every piece of Star Wars media had nearly 0 references to each other.
@@jediknightsamuel You are right. All the easter eggs in Ahsucka certainly prove they knew what they were doing.
You are confusing easter egg with plot, continuity and history.
One serves the story, the other serves itself.
@@Sadovari very true but watching this video, I think they star wars explained stretched the word easter egg too - some things they pointed out to me aren’t easter eggs, usually they’re hidden details. Things like huyang and jacen syndulla’s existence are not easter eggs at all yet they said it like it was an easter eggs. It does not contain 217 easter eggs. The actual easter eggs are good but this video stretched it. It’s what youtubers do, all for the clicks.
