Ahsoka Episode 7 BREAKDOWN - Reaction & Review! Spoilers! Easter Eggs, Ending Explained! 

There are no Clone Wars fans vs Rebels fans…if you’ve only seen the “important” episodes then of course you’re not going to understand why Ahsoka is fan favorite. Someone who does what you do should know how important character development is, and you’ve missed all of it by picking and choosing which episodes to watch.

Part of why people are big fans of the Ahsoka character is because they’ve seen ALL of her Clone Wars appearances, not just the “important” ones. Seeing the progression (and growing up alongside her) from 2008 to now has been nothing short of incredible.

Ahsoka has an entire arc during clone wars, if you only see a few episodes you won't see her growth. Ahsoka was hated when she was first intruduced but she became a beatiful character.

I've never heard of Clone Wars fans vs Rebels fans before. It's always been casual fans and EU fans. Also Ezra as a martial artist force monk is pretty sick!

Clone Wars and Rebels have the same sets of fans. There’s no divide

I was confused why Hera wouldn't bring up the missing hyper drive as proof of the empire activity or at least have them question where it is. She just stood there and was like, "Oh well, what can I do."

Ezra pasifist? LOL, He shot a stormtrooper right in his face with a laser.

Wonder why Ahsoka is a fab favourite, watch her story arcs in clone wars Season’s 2-5 and Season 7 There you go, she has the best character development ever It’s a shame hasnt watched enough Clone Wars Ahsoka has come so far and Rosario has done so well with playing a mature Ahsoka

As someone who has watched both series and watched ALL episodes, this show is giving us a bunch of feels. The 3-episode story in Clone Wars with Ahsoka and Huyang with the young Jedi picking their crystals for the light sabers is a must see. That's when Ahsoka leveled up for me. She was so badass in that episode that she forever established herself as a force to be reckoned with.

When I saw Ezra tell the Nighttroopers to wait and they actually listened, I knew you would have something to say about that 😂 like WHY on earth (or peridea) would they listen to him?!?!

Yoda in Episode V: "Wars do not make one great. A Jedi's strength flows from the Force. A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense. Never for attack." A Jedi doesn’t need a lightsaber.

As the casual fan that Grace might be mentioning all over the video, this episode actually made me smile and appreciate the world building. It has all of the ingredients that makes it a Star Wars, whether from the original trilogy or the succeeding movies.

The only major plot progression was Baylan abandoning shin and what that entailed. Also how did the new republic court not mention the like 4 pilots that died in the hyperspace jump?

If all you’ve seen of Ahsoka is her “important arcs” then Ofc you don’t get her. All the arcs with her in it are important for her character development. But again to each their own

I think Ezra will make a new lightsaber. Jedi have always had a weird relationship with their lightsabers, the dialogue "i gave it to you, its yours" made me feel like Ezra just doesnt feel connected to that lightsaber anymore? I think he'll end up with one, it would be a shame to bring him back and not give him one

If you don’t like clone wars, I have a weird feeling maybe you haven’t watched it properly? Seeing Ahsoka in the 2008 movie and her progression through the six seasons of clone wars she appeared in was just magical, growing to become an independent force user through her lessons with Anakin.

Ahsoka is a fan favorite because she started out hated in the Clone Wars but with the show she grow on fandom and was very well written.

I have to agree on Thrawns incompetence. First he sents nine Fighters after Ahsoka's ship, than only three and in the end they leave the ship alone so that Huyang can return to her? And how about a little bombardement or air attack on our three heroes now that they are reunited again? He has Tie-fighters in his ship and Ahsoka's ship is a sitting Duck now.

Also, this episode was a preview of his war tactics. He is a master of strategy and he doesn't know Ahsoka, (which, how does he not know her?), but he knows she's dangerous. He's not showing his hand

Grace you won't be seeing Asajj Ventress in live action. She's long dead by the time this show takes place. She was killed off in a 2015 book called Dark Disciple. She was killed saving the life of the Jedi Quinlan Vos towards the end of the Clone Wars. Quinlan was mentioned in the Obi Wan show.

SHE SAID WHAT?!?! About Ahsoka!!???

Lightsaber, whatever. I just need to see more Ezra connecting with animals through the force! That's like his whole thing!

I look forward to Grace's Reviews, and I wish when this series ends, she takes the time to watch Clone Wars and even the episodes of Rebels she skipped. There is no divide between Clone Wars and Rebels; if anything it is Casuals vs. noncasuals. For example, Baylon can't just pick up another lightsaber and be effective with it like Ahsoka, Ahsoka has trained with a lightsaber and a shoto for years. Ahsoka uses ataru and shein, while Baylon uses Form V Djem So, which utilizes power and strength.

Ezra: "I don't need a lightsaber, the Force is all I need" Also Ezra: *Picks up a blaster and shoots everyone *

GRACE! Did you say you don't get why ashoka is a fan favorite!? I hope make it out of that comment alive! The star wars fan will have you frozen in Carbonite for this! 😂😂😂😂

I can't help but wonder why does Andor gets to have 12 episodes and Ahsoka can't.

I honestly see Ezra on the same level of Shin, but a bit stronger in the force. Ezra and Kanan struggled with Inquisitors and Ahsoka easily dispatched them in rebels, so it really just establishes power levels.

I think this might have been a nod to Ahsoka having taught Ezra that his power does not come from the lightsaber in their "Forces Of Destiny" episode

I’m so at odds at people saying this lightsaber and use of the Force scenes were not impressive!!! 😱 What does it take to make it satisfying? It was A+mazing!!!!

Re Leia, I'm worried that every appearance of her is going to basically be, "Oh, you just missed Leia.. she was just here. But she said to tell you to go ahead and launch the fleet."

I’m bummed you haven’t seen clone wars from start to finish. It’s the progression of ahsoka as a character that made her my favorite character in Star Wars

Sadly it seems like the biggest problem this show has is that Ahsoka is too big of a character. To start no characters still alive besides Luke Han and Leia have the screentime and history that Ahsoka has. Second, Ahsoka is arguably the strongest/deadliest indivdual alive after the fall of Vader Sidious Obi Wan and Yoda and so in order to create tension the writers needed to create a character with a background that automatically puts that character in Ahsoka's league and while they have done a decent job with Balan because he was introduced so quickly and Ahsoka is so powerful it is still hard to believe that she could not take him in a fight. This is helped sold however due to Rosario's slow movement however it hurts the portrayal of Ahsoka much more than helps Balan. Overall a decent attempt but I honestly expected more from Filoni in terms of story as this is in his realm. Not awful but not great.

Would've been better if Ezra and Sabine shared the saber like throwing it back and forth or trading during the fight or Sabine could've thrown it to him while he was fighting shin, a callback to when he threw the saber to her in rebels season 3

As someone who isn’t a huge fan or Clone Wars or Rebels (I’ve seen just a few episodes of each), this was definitely my favorite episode so far. I get Ezra not picking up the lightsaber was disappointing to big fans, but I think it made the most sense story wise. It’s been years since he last wielded one and has likely been training with the force only for that entire time, so it is definitely not the same circumstance as Luke in episode 8.

I just wish they had used a stunt person for Ahsoka's fight scenes. We should be John Wick levels of impressed to be honest. Even in Clone Wars the movie, Yoda twirled around like a mad man that no one could stop. I love Rosario as Ahsoka but she just doesn't have the agility needed. But it's Hollywood. They should use all the movie/tv magic to make us believe she is one of the best fighters in the galaxy. Still, I'm enjoying the show. Minor tweaks and upgrades in production, and story telling would make this top tier.

I've been thinking about the inevitable recasting of Baylan. There's no replacing Ray, but it's starting to look like they have plans for this character beyond Ashoka. I think to lessen the blow of this unfortunate situation, you should recast with someone known. Someone walking into this character already beloved. I think that man is Karl Urban.

I was a bit underwhelmed at first as well. The best part of this episode was EZRA, EZRA, EZRA. The actor is killing it. Great chemistry between them. I would have loved to see Ezra wield his saber, BUT it was super cool to see him master hand to hand combat through the force. My biggest criticism of the post ROTJ world building is the lack of notoriety and awareness in the galaxy - let alone within the New Republic itself - of Heroes of the rebellion Luke Skywalker; Han Solo; Chewbacca; Wedge Antilles; Admiral Ackbar, Princess Leia and General Calrissian. How does Carson Teva NOT know Luke Skywalker? Why did he react like he had never heard of a jedi when a Jedi fly in Rogue Squadron? Why don't all the Rebel pilots know and revere Luke Skywalker? Where is the Rebel military chain of command? The Legends books did such a superior job of fleshing out the military command structure. Why wasn't Hera hauled before Ackbar, not Mon Mothma? They don't have to appear in the episodes but the orginal legacy characters (except for maybe Leia) are not even mentioned. They should be part of the world building by reference at least. I cannot take any of the new Republic scenes seriously in any of the Disney+ shows without this feature being built out. They did a great job of doing this on Lothal - Ezra; Sabine Zeb Hera Kanan and Chopper are rightly viewed as the saviours of Lothal. They built statues to them. Them have haolidays and cermonies. Where is the similar knowledge and recognition of Wedge and Lando for blowing up the Death Star over Endor? Where is the same recognition for newly minted Jedi Luke Skywalker - who blew up the first death star and then taking down the Emperor? I cannot take this world seriously without this world building. This was the same problem with the trilogy sequels and the First Order. Dave Filoni - please read this and give it to us. You can do this. You did it in Clone Wars and Rebels!! Do it here.

If Thrawn gets back I'm interested to see how everyone one reacts. Especially considering that from what we currently know in lore Thrawn wasn't part of The Emperor's contingency plan. In fact he probably would have been completely against it.

Guess I’m spoiled since I love Rebels and Clone Wars 🤷🏾‍♂️

Im worried there is a little too much to wrap up in this finally to feel satisfied with the ending. I also want some meaning for purposefully naming Skoll and Hati after the wolves of Norse mythology that chase the sun and moon.

Idk if I would consider Ezra a “top notch” Jedi. He had the potential to be one, however is training was cut short and Kanan was only at the level of a low tiered knight. If Ezra had time and the right master he could’ve been on Ahsoka’s level but because of all things mentioned before, he’s only really at the level of a mid tiered knight at most.

Ezra hasn’t used a lightsaber in 10 years. If he didn’t keep up practice with a stick then it could have been dangerous to himself. Also, I feel like there might have been skirmishes between Ezra and Thran’s troopers. Their armor is falling apart and held together with string and duck tape. I find it so funny that the things I liked Grace hasn’t and vise versa.

I was shocked by how pointless Hera’s/Mon Mothma’s plot line seems to have been like…wow

I actually liked that Ezra didn’t take his lightsaber back because unlike in the last Jedi there was a reason and explanation for it that’s believable. He’s better with the force now having trained in exile than he ever was with a lightsaber.

"Send some snails for reconnaissance". LOL

Ahsoka, to be truly appreciated, has to be seen in the Clone Wars and in her journey from Anakins Padwan to a formidable Jedi herself. I feel so much is missed and can’t be appreciated if you only watch a few key episodes. So much growth in her character through her story arcs in that series. I’m not saying you have to watch every single episode but you should catch the ones she’s featured in. She’s hands down my favorite character in Star Wars because I put in the time to watch those. Just my two cents Grace, lol! 🤓

Most clone wars fans are rebels fans. A large majority of the rebel fans are only rebel fans because of clone wars. The divide is mostly a minority

If I had a brick handy I'd have thrown it through the TV screen when Ezra refused to use his lightsaber. None of this feels like Clone Wars or Rebels to me, it's been turned into another mediocre Disney+ show with a meandering story line that never pays off.

Ezra taking back his lightsaber would be a kick in the shins to Sabine, it’s become clear that his lightsaber is now her lightsaber, he gave it to her (he didn’t lend it). It shows Ezra trusts Sabine and values her abilities enough to entrust her with a lightsaber. Also I wouldn’t worry too much, Kanan’s lightsaber is still in Thrawn’s possession so I wouldn’t doubt if it finds it’s way into Ezra’s hands in next weeks episode.

Personally I don’t think it’s filler but that’s just me

Off subject but I wish they’d retcon Asajj Ventress death. I read that her death is canon in some book 🤦🏽‍♂️. She’d be so cool in this early new republic era.

If Baylan is looking for Abeloth I will be amazed. I’ve seen a lot of people theorize that’s the direction we’re going in. It would be absolutely insane.

I’ll never understand why people tune into an AHSOKA show while feeling lukewarm toward her character. I get wanting to see some side characters but this is Ahsoka’s show at the end of the day.

It is not his lightsaber anymore, his choice here made me think he's even more powerful. Saying the force is my ally seconds before facing down armed squads is incredibly badass.

Hopefully Filoni did Ezra dirty as a tease so when he finally wields it in the finale, it’ll be a big deal

I love her because she played a major role in clone wars at the end of it and also in rebels as well she is in both stories and I think her appearance in rebels was really awesome in all her appearances throughout the story

“Oh no not this guy” 😂Haha

I haven’t watched clone wars or rebels. This episode was fantastic

Yeah Grace you really need to watch more Clone Wars to like Ashoka lol

I’m maaaad Grace! You have to learn to appreciate better the Ahsoka greatness! 😱 I guess Ahsoka is supposed to portray strong female characters overall and I love it, don’t you think?

I agree that Ezra is top-tier casting (not just his appearance, but his performance, and how he embodies the character), Sabine is upper-mid-tier, Ahsoka is lower-mid-tier, and Hera is basement-tier...

I think the cynicism from the New Republic is not that space whales can't exist, but that they have gone to a specific location. Just like missing hyperdrives doesn't mean that a ship jumped to a distant galaxy to specifically find Thrawn. It also makes sense that politicians don't want to believe there is going to be another war, having just recently got out of one.

Thrawn isn’t the formidable foe that he used to be in Legends. Who really cares if he makes it to the main universe. The rebels crew used to beat him every episode. And every time he would say a BS line about, “Aha, I meant to lose. It’s all a part of my master plan.” Filoni accidentally made Thrawn into a joke on Rebels. He’s just your average incompetent imperial officer.

Grace has unparalleled knowledge of the industry and her insight is amazing, but her commentary and read of fans is atrocious. Dong takes for days.

Snails? Clearly hermit crabs haha

Not using a lightsaber does not mean he’s a pacifist. He never said he was, and he clearly has no problem using that blaster

Grace, Ezra wasn't a super advanced jedi. He wasn't being trained by a jedi master. Kanan was only 14 when the empire fell so he didn't have the ability to train Ezra to make him the powerful jedi you think Ezra is. Ezra was very strong with the force, but he wasn't well trained in lightsaber fighting. Also he hasn't touched a lightsaber in 10 years so why would you expect him to be this strong jedi with top lightsaber skills? 😂

Ezra hasn’t held a lightsaber in 10 years. I can understand why he wouldn’t want to fight with it

I was half expecting him to take Ahsoka’s blade when she showed up. I really hope they don’t Fluke Skywalker Ezra.

Grace, did you even watch Rebels S2 Ep 6 Ahsoka saved both Ezra and Kanan’s lives from the two inquisitors? Because she was more powerful than them and defeated both the inquisitors at the same time. Ahsoka loved Kanan like a close friend and she loves Ezra the same.

"She's a crumb of a Jedi" 😂

I feel like nobody is noticing that thrawn threw everything he had at them. He would have loved to kill them and tried with mines and fighters and it just didn’t work. if it wasn’t ahsoka and jedi thrawn would’ve destroyed them immediatly. Also ezra is a medium power level in the grand scheme of things.

I don’t always agree with you but it’s always entertaining delivery. I love this channel.

As a rebels only fan, Grace, I think you’re in the minority on this. This episode was fantastic.

I think it’s because you don’t realize that Clone Wars was about Ahsoka and her growth, not Anikans and Kenobi, though it became a show about them just because of who they were. Rebels wasn’t about her hence the limited appearances. Filoni really should have made this a true Rebels sequel with Ashoka’s struggle the B story that tied into whatever Baylan is up to. It just shows how disjointed this show is and how fan service played into its creation.

How u felt with Ezra is how people felt with Luke in ep 7

"DID THEY JUST ROB THOSE PURGULL OF A DIGNIFIED DEATH" I Love it!!!

I don't think anymore that the Night Troopers are Zombies. None of the dead Troopers expelled any green smoke.🤔

I agree with a lot of your criticisms Grace. I also agree we should just move on from the OT three leads. Leia should be recasted if they want her to be involved more. I also agree Ahsoka has been depowered quite a bit in terms of movement and agility, I guess live action just really limits action in terms of choreography and visuals. We also have to consider that the budget for this show just could not be enough to transfer everything needed to get this show at top tier. With the theater showing of Episode 5, I think Disney was testing the waters and gaging how many people would show up to the showings and that way they can gage the budget for future Ahsoka show related projects like the film. Overall I think your criticisms are a result of Disney+ budgeting.

Being more excited by Ezra than you are about Anakin or Leia is actually insane.

You seriously underestimate Ahsoka and overestimate Ezra soooooo bad. Ezra isn't him

I have another question, do you think that Ahsoka will die in the final episode of Star Wars Ahsoka next Tuesday night on Disney plus? Because that would make total sense for why Star Wars Ahsoka is ending so soon. Don't you think?

11:24 Thanks for the shoutout, Grace! 😂

One thing that comes to mind is when Ahsoka is calling for Sabine and then Sabine feels her presence. This is a parallel to Luke and Leia in episode 5. Luke calls out for Leia and then she feels Luke. So one could argue that Sabine has some force sensitivity

Filoni fans shouldn’t be mad about filler. Like half of Clone Wars and Rebels are filler… That’s why both shows have lists of what episodes are important (same as how Anime shows are a lot of filler)…

Let’s hope Erza uses the saber for the finale

Gotta say. I think Grace is actually dead on with her evaluation. There is A LOT of ground to cover in the last episode and it seems like this one was a bit of filler. There were some fun parts but I don’t care for Sabine to become a Jedi. Force fu was fun but I really wanted to see Ezra use his lightsaber

For me, it wasn't the fact that he didn't use the light sabre, but that he was so underwhelming in the fight generally. I get he's been in isolation, but he just wasn't really a jedi in that fight...

Entirely wrong about Thrawn. He doesn't have enough troops for his ultimate goal as is. He literally says their forces are depleted enough and that's why he holds back. He instead decided to distract them and make his escape

I think the reason shes a fan favourite, is that she started being hated by everyone, and her arc throughout the clone wars even the little bits over the three shows it makes her so loved. I think shes a character that you kinda had to be there for

love, love, LOVE your reviews and breakdowns!! I don't always agree with you... but I love them all!!!

Hi Grace! Any tea if any Star Wars live action novelizations in the works such as the Aftermath trilogy? I know Mr. Bones was a top droid fan favorite!

Omfg Grace!! Just because he wanted Sabine to continue to use the lightsaber HE GIFTED HER(this is extremely important for Jedi) does NOT mean he is now a pacifist!!!??? For gods sake, he just killed so many storm troopers! What do you want?

Grace, I implore you to give Clone Wars a chance. You absolutely do not have to watch every episode, there are definitely a bunch you can skip (just like rebels) and I promise you won’t regret it. There is no divide between rebels and cw fans because it’s the exact same set of fans, and the reason for that is both are incredible. If you want to get Ahsoka’s character, experience some of the best Star Wars ever made and see TONS of Jedi action (which is even better than rebels honestly) then you must give it a shot.

People annoyed by Ezra not wielding a lightsaber is like being annoyed of Captain America for not saying "Avengers asamble" There's a moment and place (a better one) for everything. 😅

Omg Grace, I ABSOLUTELY AGREE!!! There is a major gap and disconnect from not explaining the story and interaction between Thrawn and Ezra during the last decade... I fell on the floor, when you said "Kanan and Ezra would've had a full convo!" 🤣😂😂😂 Ps: I love you so much! ❤️ Thanks for being you! (Hoping you see this 🤞🏾 it's my first comment ever, over like 5yrs of watching 😳) -Wyatt

Praying we get a second season of this! Would also appreciate a cameo by Obi!

Two and a Half Jedi. An upcoming show.

I agree, I need to see Ezra use his, or at least a lightsaber in this show, but seeing him just chill and take out troopers with just the force was cool to see.

Thanks for the breakdown Grace ❤
