That explains why Bozo-Katan was so easily redeemed despite the fact the ENTIRE REASON that Mandalore was destroyed (er.... mildly inconvenienced) was because of HER actions Apparently all it took for her to be redeemed was a swim in some monsters shit water
What crazy is if you’ve watched Andor comparing that variation of Mon Mothma to the entirely incompetent one in Ahsoka. No clue how it’s even the same person.
@@brandonm4550 Not really, in Andor, Mon Mothma is a whiny hippie, constantly crying to Luthen about the consequences brought by the Rebellion SHE is founding, and a token desperate housewife. So it only makes sense that she'd be an incompetent leader in Disney canon.
@@dragerdet You kind of missed his point. Every man in the series needs women to solve their problems or fight for them. Men are just useless sideshows to be ridiculed and shown to be weak, inept creatures. Women have had strong roles in movies for decades. Seems Disney missed that and is bent on making the universe a bastion for women power and where men are bumbling fools...Just my opinion of course.....
@@dragerdet Save your condescension. Men are belittled in all media nowadays. & I'm sure the super genius isn't played as a dependant muppet in the source material.
@@Thurmanatr16It’s all apart of the New World Order handbook, devalue and degrade the arts and history. Destroy art, and you demoralize the people. That is why the sequels destroy everything about the OT characters.

"We let the the enemy do whatever they wanted and kill a bunch of our troops when we literally only needed to push a button to kill them all. My plan is just brilliant." -Elon Thrawn
But but but "He's actually a genius, you just need to watch another series and 5 books to understand his character. You have no right to complain if you don't understand him." That's what some fans tell me when I bring up that the series fails to show us why Thrawn is such a threat
@karolclark791 now here's the kicker: I HAVE seen Rebels. And even though I think he's way overblown in that show compared to the Timothy Zahn books, he's still infinitely more threatening and calculating in that kids show than in this mess.
@@cmd31220kinda hard to find someone menacing when all they do is stand around and take orders from an old lady Also every one of these characters are Filoni Fiction garbage throwaway characters. None of these matters in the grand scheme of George's story.
When you consider that public figures like Cardi B and some of these other rap artists are selling out concerts globally, and being funded and endorsed by billion dollar corporations.., while they persecute families who choose to homeschool their children and live off grid…you realize that all these “prophecies” are true. Disturbing times.
Exactly in that one episode where ahsoka goes out in space to deflect laser fire, anyone smart would destroy the ship first but plot Armour gets in the way and shows how incapable the writers are at making shows.
The dumbest thing is the show hasn't shown us why Thrawn is bad. Or a threat. Or a force that the heroes of the galaxy should fight and sacrifice themselves for. For most casuals he's a blue dude talking slowly on a damaged star destroyer in a distant galaxy where somehow he's pretending that he hasn't failed. I have figured out the Morgan Elsbeth character archetype: nagging shrew. It all makes sense now.
Watching this reminds me of Austin Powers where Scott tells Dr. Evil let's just shoot him and be done with it and Evil is like no, let's put him in a poorly conceived, easily escapable situation with incompetent guards...
I remember I used to really want a final austin powers movie. With Seth Green as the new dr evil. They would absolutely murder the characters in 2023 though.
That guy doesn't even resemble Thrawn, therefore making him non-canon to Timothy Zahn's Grand Admiral Thrawn from the Expanded Universe which is the true Star Wars character.
I've said as much online, too, but them others insist he's not meant to be that version of Thrawn but the version that Zahn crafted for that newer trilogy of books. I read the first one of those, didn't care for it, and never returned.
I hate this idiotic version of thrawn. Why is he a fat old guy? Why does he have red iris' and not full red eyes? Star wars is a turd going down the drain.
Ah yes, blue elon will be infinitely more intelligent if he throws in words like "wisely" and "strategically" into his actions. Brilliant beyond compare!
What's your point? His point was sound. Killing them would have been a great bonus, but the main goal was to get the cargo loaded onto his Star Destroyer and get out, leaving anyone not on the Eye of Scion stranded in the new galaxy. Despite the fact that the main characters will probably not be stranded, in their current situation it doesn't matter if Thrawn kills them right now or not, they should be dead of old age before they get off that galaxy, the space whales abandoned them. If you have a problem with my analysis, by all means, share it, but it's not an indictment of his actions just because he used "Strategically" in one of his sentences.
@@gamercornelius348 Because Ezra and Sabine have stopped Thrawn before in Rebels S4. Leaving them alive is risky because they are significant threats to him. Any semi-competent leader would know that they should tie up any loose ends whenever possible. The show keeps telling us that Thrawn is a genius and a massive threat to the SW universe, yet they've failed to show us why he is those things. Almost every single one of his plans has utterly failed so far.
@@marwana4834 Ill grant you that. He probably should've gotten wise to the fact that you should just shoot them when you have the chance, but there was a plan there. A plan that would have worked if Baylan didn't betray him. And yeah Rebels and now this show does a pretty piss poor job of showing Thrawn as a credible threat, which is why I tell people to just read the Heir to the Empire Trilogy, Thrawn Alliances and Treason, and the Ascendancy Novels instead of the garbage that Filoni tries to pump out. But even if Thrawn's portrayals are lackluster, I still won't abide by midwits trying to claim that not wasting starfighters chasing Ahsoka through a ring of whale bones, or that pulling troops out of a losing fight were poor tactical decisions. Thrawn is, and should be a threat, but Filoni lacks the intelligence to write him as one, and Zahn lacks the backbone to stand up to him and Disney and tell them what a piss poor job they're doing. They should have just used Heir to the Empire as a script, instead of making the Walmart Great Value Brand version of it.
@@Ergeniz Probably a little of both, they're the protaganists of this show, but they're also all women. And therefore are always right and moral and all that shit.
The best part about Thrawn's "Plan" is how he briefly gloats how his plan is a success because Ashoka and company are distracted by the assault and is thus giving him time to charge his ship with the Night Sister casket thingies, we see he's 83% percent done with the task... Then he litterally IMMEDIATELY gives the order for his troops to retreat right in the middle of the fight , when they have Ahsoka and company essentially surrounded too... So every single soldier bails out after a loud nuclear blast alarm sounds off, clearly telling the heroes that they are planning to warp out of there super soon... This is after thrawn clearly stated that both Dark Jedis and his two ships of troops are expendable too, so WHY the hell doesn't he let them fight the heroes to keep them occupied till the ship is 100% loaded and gone... Or at least 98% loaded or something... Thankfully the heroes are so stupid that instead of realising the enemy just gave the order for all their troops to retreat because they're about to leave the planet, they spend like 45 minutes having small talk and maknig friends with the crab people instead of running to Ashoka's ship and following the stormtroopers that are speeing back to the base not to be left behind in the other dimension... And people say Filoni is a genious and he is "Saving Star Wars"...
I wish they could all just become stranded in this stupid galaxy, so they cant ruin more of georges story. That would actually make a lot of sense lol. Considering that in the 9 movies, none of these filoni fiction characters are mentioned once.
@@manz7860 just wait till Filoni release his "remastered version" of OT, replacing Luke, Han and Leia with Ashoka, Master Chief, I'm sorry, Rex, and Hera.
@@manz7860 not just georges character but Timothy Zahn the author of "The Thrawn Trilogy" story about Thrawn coming back from another galaxy and Luke fighting him. Filoni is just perverting the character as his own. Honestly it's sad to see
My favorite bit was when he basically goes "An entire division was completely annihilated down to the last man without achieving ANYTHING whatsoever, not even wounding an enemy combatant. Acceptable losses!" This has to be parody at this point, right? That is a scene I would expect in Space Balls but not any serious kind of show.
@oXRaptorzXo An acceptable loss generally means that at least something was gained. Thrawn didn't gain anything. The assignment was ruined, and he lost a bunch of troops in the process. How is that acceptable?
He lost half of the 50 or so Stormtroopers that were sent to kill them some of them retreated and made it back onto the gunship. To put that in perspective, an ISD has 10,000 stormtroopers on it. Granted, it's possible that over the course of a decade, it suffered a good deal of attrition and casualties. So let's say they took 60% casualties in the time between the Battle of Lothal, and now. That still means he has 4,000 Stormtroopers on the Chimaera, so 25 (give or take) stormtroopers to accomplish his goal of keeping them busy so they couldn't interrupt the cargo transfer isn't really all that bad. Even if you want to make those numbers even worse for Thrawn, and say he lost more of the assault force, and lost even more stormtroopers in his time there, it doesn't matter. He lost troops because Baylan Skoll betrayed him. He couldn't have known that was going to happen, and he still was able to make the most of the situation. Don't get me wrong, the show is mediocre at best, but this isn't the right hill to die on. If you have a better idea of what he should've done, by all means, enlighten me, but for all the faults of the show, and that battle being completely brain dead, Thrawn's reaction to it was not one of those faults.
The reverse grip worked for Starkiller, because he had fluid motion and often wound up or used grappling attacks to give him more leverage and impact. Ahsoka uses it to weakly parry highly-telegraphed attacks and NOT give a whirling slash despite being open to do so several times while fighting Evil Santa. She seriously had his saber up over his head or knocked off to the side and there was nothing stopping her from stabbing or slashing him, but she either did nothing or elbowed him in the gut. Whoever does their fight choreography could probably lose a stick fight to a 5 year old.
Yeah the choreography in this leaves a WHOLE LOT to be desired. Funny that the best shit in the whole series is when Ahsoka was portrayed in the clone wars kicking ass. That was some pretty decent choreography and imo she made good use of that reverse grip in that sequence. Kudos to Ariana Greenblatt not only for her physical capabilities but she really nailed it when she was portraying real in depth emotion in the flashbacks. Talented girl.
@@levicarpenter5509thrawn is NOT filoni’s character a pointless plot hole Mary sue is his creation-he absolutely destroyed thrawn, which was Timothy zhan’s
The fact that Ezra, the actual trained jedi, decided not to reclaim his lightsaber from Sabine is the dumbest crap I've ever seen. They are about to be slaughtered by stormtroopers and a wannabe sith apprentice and decides to fight unarmed. They were really pushing hard to make Sabine the protagonist and its getting embarrassing
I kinda agree, but maybe he wanted to give Sabine a fighting chance Because she is really bad with blasters despite being a freaking Mandalorian and propably Ezra could sense that she cannot even use the Force That is why Erza was baffled when Sabine told that she is Ahsoka's apprentice
If Ezra had simply said "keep it you'll need it more than me", it would have made some sense. He wanted her to keep it for her own safety. The fact that he didn't was probably for intersectional reasons. Can't have a woman being shown to be weak and requiring help from a man, no matter how superficial.
The show has lifeless characters, you'd have to know everyone from the Rebels and the Clone wars to care about them. Any casual fan doesn't care about them at all because no writing was done to make anyone care,but Thrawn being an idiot is the worst crime of them all.
I’m a fan of clone wars and rebels and I care nothing for these characters, they don’t feel the same. It’s garbage I don’t watch this show because I want to, only because I want to see what Dave Biloni cooked up this week.
I really don’t understand everyone’s love fest with Baylon. He has recycled Sith Lord motifs, an order 66 background, is more of a vehicle for vague exposition, but nothing personal about him is revealed. In storytelling the emotional wound of the character is usually highlighted in the character introduction so that every subsequent scene can have a specific emotion fitted to that character. But none of the characters, including Baylon, have such a literary device.
@@VonJay " In storytelling the emotional wound of the character is usually highlighted in the character introduction so that every subsequent scene can have a specific emotion fitted to that character." LITERALLY being hunted and being done with the old Jedi vs Sith shit that killed everyone he cared about and him running for his life for decades. Are you really that daft? You watching the sho or just watching social media videos about it? Also, that is not even an accurate take on "the rules of storytelling." How fffkng boring it would be if anytime a character was introduced in any piece of fiction, and they immediately have to give backstory on their trauma. You would all complain about that too, rightfully so in that case as it is the opposite of engaging storytelling. Finally, it's space wizards with laser swords and has always been big business with steadily questionable writing since 1977
Sabine's hairdressing skills with a single stroke of her knife, the virtue-signalling pattern on her breast-plate, plot-armour forcefield around Ahsoka's ship, a lack of any likeable/engaging characters (except Baylon) and the assumption that all viewers know every characters background. The best thing about episode 7 is that Ahsoka didn't fold her arms once.
Imagine our earthly whales being able to fart and hit Mach 3. Also they are immune to naval gunfire and can destroy battleships by simply ramming into them. Also not a single soul in the infinite galaxy has devoted anymore than 5 minutes to study these creatures
The more I watch this show, the more I realize how much we were robbed of a great story based around Baylon. Filoni and Disney Star Wars could have never pulled it off though. He's by far the best part of the show, based on his on-screen presence alone. RIP Ray Stevenson.
@@konstantinosnikolakakis8125 2 things can be true at the same time. Thrawn is a great character. In this show though he is butchered, weak, and incredibly uninteresting. So I see no point in talking about him. The novels don't mean anything, if they failed the first on-screen live action impression of the character. The wider audience has no desire to go and read more Thrawn stories, because the first impression for many was ruined. Including myself.
@@xLauant I bought the books because people were talking about the cool Thrawn from the books and Blue Elon didn´t look cool from the trailers, neither did the Mary Sues. So I read the books and don´t watch the sh*tshow.
@@mousemetal1679 that’s my point, you were exposed to the real Thrawn first, but possible new fans who have never been exposed to the actual Thrawn. Now have no interest in the character. The only people who enjoy these shit ass Star Wars shows, are the Disney adults and their delusional cult. Who will break down in tears over dumb ass poorly executed cameos. I knew of Thrawn and how great of character he is, but I haven’t read. Heir to the Empire. This show stripped away any interest I may have had in reading the novels. Because I see no point in getting invested into a character, that I’ll never see executed properly on-screen. That’s just me though.
@@xLauant Seriously man seeing all the star wars fan channels gush over this objective subversive shit is pathetic thirsty culty lefty weirdos so damn thirsty they tolerate the intolerable its frickin pathetic man.
I like how you noticed Asoka’s asswackwards logic of “we don’t need to find Sabine, we just need to find the enemy” because I literally had to stop my player I was laughing so hard when that line dropped
I'm just surprised that when Leia was announced they didn't refer to her as "Leia Organa, Senator of Alderaan" ...may as well bring a planet back at this point.
How your channel doesn't have more views is beyond me. You lay out so many of the glaring absurdities in such an amusing but concise manner with none of the time-wasting side-talk of so many other channels. Lucasfilm needs to watch these ASAP and take notes. Have a great weekend my very incisive friend.
Just a reminder that Poe got slapped and demoted by Leia for disobeying direct orders in The Last Jedi, but Hera (who got people killed) is given a pass by the exact same person. I think we all know the reason why.
Let us not forget that Luke could reach Leia because she too had the family's gift with the Force, she just didn't know it at the time. They've repeatedly stated Sabine isn't force sensitive (though, of course, they're trying to sneak it into her profile by way of terrible plot contrivances), so having Ahsoka try to reach her with it is pointless. Oh, and hey, we have speeders and starcraft, but naaaaaahhh, let's chase them on "horseback". The stupid, it BURNS!
In disney star wars men can't be smart, its a rule. So I was curious to see how they would handle Thrawn, and just as I expected he has females who guide him. Thank you for these videos because I could not stomach watching this whole show.
I can already guess the finale, Sabine broke down after realizing her mistake to have betrayed everyone in order to find Ezra, then Ashoka recalled Anakin teaching her that such is the price of war, justifying Sabine's action was done out of love, then Sabine rose up and become Rey 2.0,🤭
Ezra is going to end up being too toxic and masculine for Sabine to handle, and he will be made to start the next villain arc. I could be wrong though because he’s played by a diverse actor..im not sure if he’s diverse enough to be safe from the trashing..but he is a Male, so maybe he will be thrown to the wolves. Sabine will end up realizing that Ezra is just too weak of a boy for her liking, and she will awaken to her true urges to be with a strongk woman..which will be the green girl or Ashoka. Ezra will turn out to be a helpless crackhead who is begrudged and paranoid, and he will abandon them when they need him most. The story will end up with the Star Wars Charlie’s Angels conquering the Empire and founding a smoothie bar planet.
@@medicinemanboxing3222 Ashoka: Charlie’s Angels far far away! 🤣 They’re already setting him up as the ultimate simp! And they’re already thrashing diverse Republic senator, 🤭
This episode inspired me. Henceforth I will insert the adverb "wisely" when explaining something stupid that I did. Because that's the sign of a super intelligent person. "I wisely forgot to buy milk."
Yeah, no character in this series can be, or is smarter than Filoni; Ahsoka is his idiocy on full display. Trying to make sense of it is like trying to reassemble a meal after someone's eaten it and vomited it back onto the plate.
I have no doubt Andor was great but I'll never watch it. The people praising Andor merely pave the way for this shit. We need to just give up on all Star Wars, good or not
How is it that this video is 100x more entertaining and intelligent than the actual show it is based on? I hope the writers of this show worked on their skills when they were on strike, but somehow I don’t think they are even aware of how terrible they are.
Well, my guess for the next episode is, that we will learn Thrawn is a genius after all and that in fact, he didn't want to kill Ezra, he just needed to preted so, because he needs the witches to get him back to the known Gallaxy. That's why he will play an idiot one more time so Ezra can get back too and after that's done, Ezra will proclaim himself to be a transgender and they will run away to be Emperor and Empress, leaving behind Sabine, Ahsoka and angry witches. But pissing off witches and strong women is a bad idea, so the Filoni's movie is going to be about temporary alliance of angry women who decide to take down the Emperor Thrawn and Empress Ezra. I am just not sure if Ezra will regret his (her) actions in the end or not. 🤪
I always thought that Luke was able to "mind speak" to Leia because they are closed friends but also because she is his sister and furthermore, she's Force sensitive.
Ezra not taking his lightsaber was beyond stupid. That's like being in Iraq and your squadmate hands you an M16 and he responds with "I don't need that, I got these hands"
On Spotify the thrawn book are free to listen (Germany). So on my way to work i hear all the books. This person has so much incomen in the book character as a drunken homeless man with a Space marine in Warhammer 40k. In the book he is clever, planing, charismatic, efficient brutal but not sadistic. In short respected and competent. Even as a vilan i could imagine to serve under him. This one in the show has the control of junkyard and even failed to do everything by him self.
I can only guess that Sabine will use force powers by the next episode when Dave Felony demands it. And Sabine wasn't even written to be a Jedi in the first place
So Thrawn releases Sabine to track down Ezra, who has somehow eluded Thrawn and his army of hundreds of stormtroopers for a decade despite roaming a short distance away. In the same episode Thrawn also has the witches use their abilities to sense Forcing using Ahsoka's location so they can fire on her. ... Ezra is a Force user. If the witches can detect where other Force users are all the way out in space, how the hell were they unable to find Ezra in a decade of being trapped on the same planet where the only other lifeforms are non-humanoid, non-Force using creatures? Ezra should stand out both physically and by his Force presence like a sore thumb. Bloody brilliant. This on top of relying on the idea that Sabine will somehow have better luck finding Ezra than him. If this was EU Thrawn, he'd know Sabine wouldn't be able to because Thrawn would have explored every option to accomplish that task. If he failed, Sabine would have a infinitesimal chance at succeeding. In this show, Thrawn's plan relied entirely on pure luck, which he'd never bank on. Not with the risk Sabine now posed to him. And he certainly didn't make any promises or deals with Sabine to keep him from shooting her down the moment she interrupted him. Thrawn doesn't even put a tracking device anywhere on Sabine before she leaves, and he even returns everything she needs to fight back (including her impervious Beskar armor and lightsaber) against the Sith he sends after her to kill her when she finds Ezra. All when they could just blow her and Ezra up from a ship or something. Also, how was Thrawn going to know when she found Ezra or not? Was he just going to have the Sith wasting their time tracking her forever until she got lucky and stumbled onto Ezra? That could have taken months, years, or never, for all his plan assured. Thrawn isn't a master tactician. He's a fake and a conman. He has everyone fooled. Fortunately for Thrawn, everyone else is stupid, too.
I really wish thrawn would've left every one of these awful filoni fiction characters in this separate galaxy Would explain a lot as to why they are never seen or mentioned in GEORGE'S story.
So basically. Ezra sacrificed himself for nothing and isn't even being told of this. Well. That is...certainly a writing decision. I dont even know how to describe the stupidity of this. Someone, please help me out.
The problem is called filoni I think. He writes live action characters and plot the same way he does his cartoon series. All his characters are smart in one scene and idiots in another depending on what he needed done in a situation.
@@gamercornelius348I mean that's fine. But there should be dialogue that addresses the consequences. Ezra should absolutely be livid that sabine wasted his 10 years of exile because thrawn can now escape. Nope. Can't have our damsel in distress asking why the big strong girl came to save him.
I just watched the Barbie movie with my daughter. Fuckin Margot Robbie's Stereotypical Barbie had more depth than any of the female characters on this show!!! 😂
The writers are uncomfortable with conflict. How can you write drama and be afraid to portray conflict? If any of these people watched a single episode of the Battlestar Galactica reboot they would instantly perish.
The answer to the riddle of Leia's "order" is simple: the writers don't understand government as well as a 7th grader, who could have told them what the functions of the legislative and executive branches are. Absolutely disgraceful what Disney has become. They have always provided bland pablum, but at least they used to inform the public and reinforce basic democratic norms.
A characters can only be as smart as the person writing them, I bet that the idiots writing this didn’t even know of his existence before they got hired.
I actually watched the first few seconds of ep 7, that was more than enough stupidity for me. Thankfully I found your video and you instantly had he hooked. You packed more entertainment into 15 minutes then Disney ever did in hundreds of hours of them shitting over the franchise.
Thraun being beaten by the three women is the whole point . The sick fux get off on belittling men and ruining what we wants loved which they have done successfully. I canceled my Disney account the very morning that I woke up and read that they fired Gina that was it for me because they showed what Hypocrites they were and how they were only out to destroy Star Wars not to build it up and make it awesome
I thought the same thing about the motor neuron disease... at first I thought maybe she was just being slow and methodical, then she keeps going and she just looks tired and unable to perform the movements or something. It's so weird.
"Sabine despite betraying everyone she knows has never been punished or acknowledged it was a bad thing" - So she is Bo-Karen 2.0 LOL! They are my most hated pseudocharacters ever. Even Holdo is less insufferable than Space Karen and Dangerhair. At least she died as a result of her incompetency. Felony NEVER punishes his pet OCs for their bad deeds. EDIT: Poor C3PO! He doesn´t deserve to be in Felony´s crappy fanic. Neither does Mon Mothma who was obviously ruined in this trash show. :(
Thank you for calling like it is. All these soy boy youtube simp content creators raving how great the episode is when the writing, choreography and directing is autrocious. Also they chose the wrong Mikkelsen brother to play Thrawn. What a shame.
What are those fighter craft that are chasing Ahsoka around? Were they brought from the regular Star Wars Galaxy by Thrawn or by that giant circular hyperdrive craft that Baylen and Sabine and co. travelled to the new Galaxy in? It would be most unlikely that fighter craft from 2 distant and unconnected galaxies would resemble each other in any way in terms of size or weapons or flight characteristics.
