The second season of The Mandalorian is more than halfway through, and the title of the fifth episode this time is called: Jedi. I have seen this title before, and the director of this episode is Dave Filoni, who directed the famous "Star Wars: The Clone Wars", I have a hunch that our super popular character Ahsoka Tano will return. Up.

So when I first saw two white lightsabers, and the exposed Cape Montral (an organ of the Togruta, in addition to Ahsoka, the prequel, the Clone Wars, the Galactic Republic Jedi Master Shak Ti This is also the race) I screamed.

Ahsoka Tano is currently one of the most popular characters in the Star Wars series. We have experienced her growth together in "Star Wars: The Clone Wars" and "Star Wars: The Rise of the Rebels": by Procon Discovered that he became a Jedi boy, became an apprentice of Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, and had grievances with Asagi Ventis and Barriss Offee, facing General Grievous and Da The experience of a powerful opponent like S. Moore in Mandalor with the sisters Shatin Kritz and Bocatan Kritz, and then suspended death, became the fulcrum of the rebels. This kind of friendship also perceives Master Anakin Skywalker to become Darth Vader. It can be said that our audience is a bystander of her growth.

Star Wars: Ahsoka of the Clone Wars s7. She had left the Jedi Order at that time and was helping Bocatan Kritz hunt down Moore in Mandalor. At the time, Captain Rex led the 501st Army to assist at the direction of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi. It was during this period that Ahsoka learned the news that Obi-Wan had killed General Grievous. At the same time, after experiencing 66 orders, she felt the blackening of Anakin.
At the end of this episode, Ahsoka, she should be over 40 years old by this time, the Dawson version of the real Ahsoka still has the charm and looks more mature.

In fact, it was initially rumored that Ahsoka’s voice actor Ashley Eikenstein would play a real person, but in the end it was starred by Rosario Dawson. I think Dawson’s performance is also quite good, whether it is Ahsoka’s expression. It’s a good way to restore the attitude, or against the double swords, as well as the details. The Rotten Tomatoes score in this episode is 9.7, which is the highest in the 13th episode of The Mandalorian. It can be seen that this episode is very positive for everyone.

Ahsoka Tano’s two white lightsabers, she helped Bocatán win in the Mandalorian siege at the end of the Clone Wars, but then lost both swords in order to complete suspended animation with Rex in the 66th order ( Later, it was picked up by Darth Vader. Later, he defeated the Imperial Magistrate "Sixth Brother" empty-handed and purified his two red lightsabers, so he took the white sword later.

Ahsoka communicates with the force of Gru (baby Yoda). Gru learned to hide the force in order to protect himself. In addition to it, the most famous person we know of hiding the force is Darth Sidious. , The Speaker Palpatine, he even lied to many Jedi masters including Yoda, Windu, Mundi, Obi-Wan, and Pro-Kong.

When Din Jaren explained his intentions, Ahsoka immediately understood. The Geru race is rare. The most famous one is Yoda, the highest master of the Jedi during the Republic period. Master Yoda himself taught Ahsoka. During the "Rise of the Rebels", he also taught Ahsoka in the illusion in the temple. .

This quirky race is generally very long-lived. We now know that Yoda, the highest master of the Republic of the Jedi, and Yadel, the master of the Jedi. (Not including Minqi and Fanda in the Old Republic.) Yoda lived to be more than 900 years old, and many Jedi masters were his students.

Fear is the path to the dark side.

-Yoda

Be mindful of your feelings.

-Windu

Your thoughts dwell on your mother.

-Mundy

These are the words of the Jedi masters in the interview with Anakin Skywalker, which exposes Anakin's attachment to his mother, which is a taboo. Attachment and fear are the ways of the dark side. In the end, Speaker Palpatine took advantage of Anakin's attachment to his wife Padmé to keep him close to the dark side and eventually fell into Darth Vader.

So Ahsoka refuses to train Gru here, precisely because there is fear and attachment in its heart. Fear brings anger, anger brings hatred, and hatred brings pain. In the eyes of the Jedi, this is the Sith. road.

After finally defeating Morgan, Ahsoka asked about the whereabouts of Marshal Thrawn. At the end of "Rise of the Rebels" s4, Ezra Bridger fought with Marshal Thrawn and went to the unknown area. Ahsoka and Sabine went to find him together.

In the last episode, Governor Kition is building dead soldiers, and Ding Jaren may be found later based on tracking signals. Thrawn's mention is by no means accidental, maybe the story of the old official history may appear in another way, then Ezra may also be alive!

There are not many Jedi knights alive now. Counting from "Star Wars: A New Hope", Obi-Wan and Master Yoda have all returned to the original force here. But Ezra and Carl may both be alive, and maybe there may be opportunities to play later.

Ahsoka is a guest star this season, so you don’t have to have much hope for her appearance later, but this episode is enough to evoke the memories of Star Wars fans. The climax should also be coming soon. Let us wait for the last three. Collect it!

May the force be with you!
