Thrawn did meet younger Anakin in "Thrawn: Alliances." Anakin was on a mission to look for Padme who went missing, and ran into Thrawn. They formed an alliance to help each other in their respective missions.That is how he later deduced that Vader was Anakin because his fighting strategy and mannerisms were like Anakin.

Lars Mikkelsen was already perfect in Rebels, but FINALLY seeing him play Thrawn in live action proves was was born to play Grand Admiral Thrawn! And his “Night Troopers” are beyond awesome. They’re the most intimidating looking army I’ve ever seen in Star Wars. Especially Enoch, he looks like a mix of a Spartan and a gladiator. And Baylan Skoll is proving to be one of the most complex and compelling characters in all of Star Wars. He managed to see not only that the Jedi had fallen even before Order 66 because of how they had become so blinded by their own hubris and hypocrisy, but he sees that the Galaxy can never be governed for long or even properly by either a Republic nor an Empire. So he is looking for a new power that will outlast all of them. It just makes it more tragic that Ray Stevenson didn’t live to see the overwhelming praise he would’ve received. What really surprised me was the Nightsisters being the lynchpin that ties everything together. Now it makes sense how an incredibly ancient map could lead to where Thrawn was currently, because Morgan was told so in her visions by the Great Mothers, who were instructed by Thrawn. And in exchange for aiding Thrawn, he would take them and whatever their cargo is (and I have a bad feeling I might know what it is) back to our Galaxy. DAVE FILONI YOU MAD GENIUS, YOU NEVER FAIL TO ENTERTAIN US!

I think Shin is reluctant to kill Sabine time and time again cause she secretly find her interesting…

Thrawn actually met Anikin during the clone wars on a mission to find Padme who had been captured...funnily enough the Name Skywalker is what the Chiss call their force sensitive hyperdrive navigators. Anyway Thrawn basically used Anikin to his benefit to steal Sepratist shield tech if memory serves correctly. But yes later Thrawn does in fact deduce it is Vader...and in not so many words told never to reveal that secret. That was a great trilogy.

I have many question why Ezra and thrawn are Alive?? How ??

I cant stop grinning cause we finally go live action thrawn in all his glory and we get to see the home world of the nightsisters ancestors. After this episode an ahsokas talk with huyang sabine's whole arc is basically a condensed version of anakins attachment. Ezra being sabines last remaining family and was willing to help baylan on the promise she see ezra is similar to how anakin was tempted to the dark side out desperation and fear of losing padme as he did his mother. So far baylan is an intersting dharacter since we know very littlemof his past or his motivation outside of breaking the cycle of good and evil. Perhaps the source of the nightsisters magic may be whats been calling to baylan or heck maybe the darkside who knows

I agree: the reunion was way too cold for 2 "besties" not seeing each other in 10 years and given Ezra's goodbye particular circumstances. And I was taken aback by Sabine's reticency, but then I thought: if Ezra knew that Sabine just wasted everything he sacrificed (giving Thrawn a chance to get back) he would be very upset. And Sabine knows it very well. So it's understandable she wants to take her time for that... Though a bit naive and selfish 😁

Justin nailed it. Villages are constantly under attack in STAR WARS, Luke's foster parents home, the village in Mando pilot and on the world he found love and almost removed his helmet and 2nd season debut with the sandworm, of course the village in Boba Fett was patched up in his pilot. Good call, Justin. "I can't wait to go home." "Ummmmmm ..." 🤣🤣🤣 I agree, I'd love to see movie or mini series about Baylan and Shin. With Ray Stevenson death maybe they recast or just focus on Shin. It was nice to see a different, curious but still cautious side to her beyond just constant intensity which is awesome but nice to see she's not one note. So I guess "a long time ago" for Ahsoka would be maybe the time of the Knights of the Old Republic aka KOTOR?

7:32 I would agree to the idea of a series about Baylen Skoll. To include the backstory, & how he survived Order 66. Since Ray Stevenson is no longer with us, a comic series would have to effectively tell said backstory,.

It isn't a wild theory that at least some of these stormtroopers are dead. I had heard it about a month ago, that we should be expecting an undead stormtrooper army. I think that's exactly what we have here. I wonder if any of them are alive, or if so how many are alive vs dead. I also noticed stormtroopers loading , what looked like coffins. Could those be more dead back-up supplies?

Loving the t-shirts, and awwww that's an adorable Ahsoka plush 🧡 This episode was enjoyable. Cool they brought back Thrawn's voice actor to play him, and Ezra was a surprise. 🚶‍♀️ ................ "stay." .......... 🐕

Bokken Jedi - A bokken is a Japanese wooden sword used for training in kenjutsu.

I love that they made hyperspace travel look more beautiful when done via purrgil than the artificial way - great reminder that the technology was born from studying the purrgil but can’t quite replicate the majesty of their natural talent.

Makes me think of the “is this love, Agent Romanoff?” scene. From Thrawn to Sabine.

I love it that they got the voice actor to play him. Voice is so good. Eyes look great. The only really problem I have is Thrawn has a dad bod belly. The guy who spars assassin droids and stays fit... has a dad bod... my only real complaint. It was funny to see her scolding the dog too.... but I woulda enjoyed some more meat and potatoes than seeing that. Other than that we got Ezra! Thrawn! Was a good watch. I was actually really nice seeing Sabine actually win a fight aswell. She's a mandolorian whose been getting her ass handed to her in every fight! Felt good to see her survive an ambush and take out the aggressors while surviving jt pretty well.

I SECOND that I too would like a whole series around Baylan. I hope they seriously recast with someone of equal measure & do justice to his story. I love they continue to show the easy relationship (and ability to ride) that Mandalorians can develop with animals.

I knew I recognised the voice of the great mother. That's Claudia Black (Farscape, Stargate SG1 and Pitch Black).

I heard a lot about Fate and Destiny especially with the Dathomir Night Sisters. Thrawn is perfect. Sabine needs some turnaround cause right now her character is pissing me off. Ezra is perfect. What is Baylon searching for?

I wasn't expecting to see so much of Thrawn but i loved it. And Huyang my goodness he has become my favorite droid.

I love this episode so freaking much, and I really enjoyed seeing your two react to it. Seeing Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger in live-action made me squeal like no tomorrow. Also, I got emotional with the lovely reunion between Ezra and Sabine.

Hi Guys, love your reactions.... 19:09 The Big difference between Thrawn and The Republic... Thrawn "" We should considered Ahsoka Tano alive until we know other wise"... The Republic to Hera "Thrawn is dead"... Thart is why I respect the kind of Villian Thrawn is and regret how the Republic reacts to a potential threat. This series is one of the best so far, love it

Everytime I see Ray in Ahsoka I think, he looks like Connery in First Knight

Thrawn met and worked with Anakin and Darth Vader. Once during the clone wars, and again after order 66. It was in the new Thrawn trilogy.

3:40. Hm. I'm pretty sure we saw a prison toilet in the Andor series.

I’ve seen a theory that Baylan was once a padawan to Qui-Gon, and the more I hear his speak the more convincing it is to me. The way he speaks just sounds so much like him and his willingness to speak before taking immediate action is interesting. Also I love how collectively everyone went from thinking the Howler was not cute, to being the bestest boi in a matter of minutes 😂.

So the markings on the bottom of the Chimaera (Thrawn's Star Destroyer) is an artistic representation of the creature the ship is named for, a Chimaera. It's been on the ship ever since Thrawn first took command of it as the flagship of the Empire's 7th Fleet. You can see it in some scenes during Rebels and it's the primary artwork on the cover of the Thrawn: Ascendancy novel trilogy (Timothy Zahn's most recent canon Thrawn novels that tell the story of his early years with the Chiss Ascendancy before he was exiled and found by the Empire). It was not recently put on there by the Nightsisters. Just wanted to clear that up!

Great reaction as always!. ♥I love this whole new galaxy and the huge potential that can be built upon it. Many outstanding surprises. I think that Sabine feels kind of guilty and very worried about what could Thrawn try to do to them. Can´t wait for the last to ones :´-) My best regards.

The Nightsisters do use the Force, just a different aspect of it. Their magick is crafted from the Force and used mostly for deception, illusion, ressurection, and foresight. The Sith also have a form of Force magick, which you see Palpatine using in Rebels when he tries to use Ezra and Ahsoka to pull himself into the World-Between-Worlds. Palpatine also uses his Sith magick in Clone Wars, if I remember correctly.

Hmmm...I wonder if who(or what) Balen is sensing might be voiced by Tom Baker...because why not

Rewatching it, I realized they never touched on his relationship to Vader in the modern canon so he wouldn't know Anakin had an apprentice. ( in the old canon he was one of a few that knew Anakin and Vader were the same person)

Unpopular opinion: I like the Thrawn from the books (Timothy Zahn's latest book trilogy in particular - Thrawn, Alliances and Treason) waay more than the version of Thrawn from Rebels and now Ahsoka. I watched Rebels after I read the books and I was a bit disappointed with him, although everyone loves him in Rebels. He was more of an antihero in the books, compared to Rebels where he is a straight up evil villain. In the books he strategizes in such a way that loss of life is minimized, on either side. He will never kill unless there is no other way around it, unlike here. The version from the books makes me sympathize with him all the way. I get it, too much moral ambiguity and complexity was perhaps unnecessary in an animated series made for a younger audience, but now the same version of evil Thrawn is in the Ahsoka series. I wish they would've went with the books version.

Makes me want to go back and replay all of SWTOR MMO lol. New character new story. Wish they'd do something like a SWTOR2.

You know what I just realized, the night sister's mistook Sabine as the dangerous one that reeked of jedi when I think it was Baylan cause you see their surprised faces when Thrawn calls him General of the Jedi Order.

So sad that Ray Stevenson passed but it’s great his character is so beloved.

The toilet and bathroom was a big part in the plot of Andor.

The subtitles call the storm troopers “night troopers” … so they may literally all be dead

In the canon novels, Thrawn meets both Anakin and Darth Vader and deduces they are the same person.

I love Jesus Bridger and his chemistry with Sabine❤Thrawn is so terrifying because Lars knows how to play his voice role from the Rebels! Greetings from Germany❤

Absolutely amazing episode. The Great Mothers of Dathamire. Thrawn and the duck taped troopers. Caption Gold Face. 😄😄👍🏾👍🏾

I love spoilers! I love knowing just what happens BEFORE I watch a film or TV show. I plan to watch the episode Friday after watching a couple more spoiler reviews.

The pattern on Thrawn's flagship was always there, it's nothing to do with Dathomir.

Amazing episode🔥 space turtles , thrawn, ezra lol . I wonder if Shin will turn good .. i think thats thrawns right hand man Enoch. The wolfdog is cute

I’m not certain but I think the only on screen toilet was aboard the Razor Crest.

I think Thrawn does know Anakin is Vader. There is that 1 new canon Thrawn novel where they did encounter each other and worked together way back during The Clone Wars and that is how he deduced Anakin is Vader when they had to work together much later for The Empire. It's been many years now since I last read that novel, but I'm pretty sure he does know Anakin is Vader. But, there's no reason to believe Thrawn knows Ahsoka was Anakin's padawan. LOL, I gottta admit, I kept getting distracted looking at Thrawn's hair and pooch belly. I wonder if that hound animal bonded with Sabine right away because of The Force. It must've felt great hearing that Night Sister calling Sabine a Jedi. I do think it would've been cool if those bandits Sabine killed were of Cad Bane's species, but that also probably would've brought up a bunch of other questions. I too think Sabine and Ezra's reunion would've felt more enthusiastic and celebratory than it was. But, I chalk that up to the same problem I've been having with this series from the start, which is the dialogue is not quick enough. I would not be surprised if Disney announces a Baylon and Shin comic book series. I also would not be surprised if Baylon turns on Thrawn and Morgan at the end.

Troopers probably not alive in the backround they moving caskets and stuff a lot. Right when Thrawn he needs their magic again
