The fight between Ahsoka and the Magistrate as seen in The Mandalorian S2E5. If you like it feel free to check my Kill Bill edit: • Ahsoka Tano vs Morgan ... Peace folks. All rights belong to their respective owners.
And honestly speaking, I love the tension between Mando and Michael Biehn, the tension when Biehn realizes that it's over, lays down his weapon and then tries to sucker punch Mando. Only, Mando's a faster draw. Pity I would've had Biehn actually HIT Mando, only to have Mando click his neck and then fire back. "That's why I wear Beskar...."
@@strikeforcealpha9343 Nah that would have been a bit cheesy and out of character for Mando. He wears beskar because he’s mandalorian, not just because it’s good armour.
I think there is more to it. Morgan clearly has training but the bulk of her training assumed that Jedi and Sith use very specific styles. Upon seeing the switch up she realized all her training didn't account for a style she didn't recognize. She thought she had a counter for everything a Jedi would use, but the unexpected change up threw her for a loop. Which begs the question: Who exactly trained her?
Sound design and the visuals as well. As far as my knowledge goes, Ahsoka’s white sabers are the first ones we’ve ever seen in live action, and they looked awesome as well
I'm making a saber where I give Morgan Elsbeth a red Lightsaber. Should I post it on RU-vid once it's done ? Edit: I give up, the scene is too dark and I can't track the spear. Sorry.
Knowing Morgan is a Nightsister really puts this fight in perspective. I thought it weird how much trouble Ahsoka had fighting, even getting disarmed by, someone who then seemed to be just some corrupt petty ruler. But nope, that was a goddamn Nightsister.
Quite right! The corrupt petty rulers run THIS world,YOUR country (U.S.)MINE(U.K.)and a MAJORITY of the PLANET now AND CONTROL ALL OF US IN IT BY TAKING AWAY OUR BIGGEST POWER-OUR MINDS AS ONE IN UNISON!

IF I were to continue;I'D DISAPPEAR too as they don't want the truth out,people to get together within that knowledge,become empowered by it and take action as they would then lose their power over US,THE REAL POWERFUL ONES WHO HOLD UP THEIR BULLSHIT,CYCLOPSICAL,SELF SERVING SYSTEM! Patton was right we DID fight the wrong side. The history of the 1930's leading up to WW2 that you MIGHT have been taught in school is tainted and the part where the Jews tried to wipe the Germans out in Germany first has been withheld from you.

@@aluisiousThat isn't a spoiler. Her being a Night Sister doesn't change anything. If she were secretly a Jedi or a Sith or some shit there would be plot implications, but there's no plot implications from this.
When Ahsoka had one of her sabers disarmed and then she switched her style to the reverse grip that she used in S1 of Clone Wars I thought that was a really cool call back. Well done, show writers.
Dave Faloni who was the creative director, I think, for clone wars directed this episode and is producing the show as well. He knows how Ahsoka do, mainly because he created her.
Thing is... Maybe you know this, but just in case... The show writers, one of them, is the actual creator of Ahsoka, Dave Filoni. And he also directed this episode. So... He knows his business. Disney should've just hired him to oversee the new trilogy story from the the start.
@@Gaymerweirdo nah she got it back. The point is Ahsoka use to be helpless when she got disarmed in Clone Wars. Then when she fought Maul again, she was at the level of a Knight despite losing both sabers, she still won bare handed. The point is, even with just the Shoto, Ahsoka can win without her main weapon and she is no longer frantically trying to reclaim it to defend herself. She spent some time without light saber and learnt to rely less on it
Ahsoka, who has fought General Grievous, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Asajj Ventress, Imperial Inquisitors, Pre Vizsla, AND survived order 66. Yeah I think she can take this lady.
@dygvu ducg Said no one ever. Ahsoka isn't a Mary Sue because we've seen her progression thoughout the Clone Wars on how she got to be the pwoerful person that she is in Mandalorian/Rebels. She has tons of experience and fought through countless battles but also _failed_ and failed a good amount, actually. She has flaws and has shown that she isn't perfect by making plenty of mistakes, one even got her whole squadron killed. You would know all of this if you actually tried to pay attention to her character instead of being an idiot and calling anyone who isn't Anakin or someone a Mary Sue.
@dygvu ducg Go watch the entirety of the clone wars. Wether u wanna put a stamp of unworthiness on her character, you cannot disprove the simple fact, she is an extremely well written character who hasn’t succeeded in every major challenge she’s undergone throughout the clone war and purge. She has earned her place, and the fan base agrees.
@@muslimtrashheap1403 yeah but this is Ahsoka who survived a duel against Vader and broke bit of his helmet. Who fought Maul into submission despite losing both saber and she is of the his pedigree when it comes to Jedi lineage. Ahsoka > Anakin > Obi Wan > Qui Gon > Dooku > Yoda
@@muslimtrashheap1403 The only reason it wasn't over immediately is she wanted to question her. She really needed a hand free so she could do it without mutilating her, making her less receptive.
@@Breezyz no that is Ahsoka Master pupil lineage she is descended from this particular lineage as in Yoda trained Dooku then Dooku to Qui Gon to Obi Wan Luke's is trained by Obi Wan but he was mainly trained by Yoda
Which she? If you mean Ahsoka, she already fought both Anakin and Vader by this period of time. If you mean the Imperial woman otherwise, well yeah, she should not even try anything.
Never cared for her, I still don’t understand why she became a fan favorite honestly. I was like 7 when the clone wars movie came out and thought she was cool, but didn’t think much of her after. Now, 12 years later, I’m still thinking the same, she was cool and developed to a cool character, but I never really saw her as a bad character to begin with which is why I don’t understand why she became a fan favorite. Only reason why she’s a fan favorite is because she was hated in the beginning and now cherished. But she isn’t that epic of a character. I never hated her, though to be fair, I only watched clone wars when I was young because I love episodes that mainly had the clones in it. Like dude, heavy death episode rookies was cool. Commander bly and captain rex together was epic.
She wasn't playing, you are not disarmed by someone who you are just "playing around", the idea itself is inconsistent. Ahsoka was clearly better than her in skill, she was holding back for avoid kill her and took from her the information she needed but trying to beat her by disarm her or knock her out, then she realised that fighting that way was taking effort from her and Elsbeth was surprisingly better than she expected (because Elsbeth was trained by Thrawn and she was probably almost as good as Pre Vizla), so Ahsoka decided to abandon the defence and take it her more seriously as a opponent, and then she defeated her in 10 seconds.
@General Grievous Ehm, no. There is a huge difference between "playing" and "hold back" against someone, Ahsoka first was holding back but really trying to disarm her or knock her out, later when that didn't work, she fought more seriously and won. Ahsoka was clearly better and was gonna won either way, but trying to lowball Morgan is unnecessary, she did pretty good for a no-force wielder.
@@sorjonen8358 damn only a minute ago you wrote this. What the guy was trying to say is that there a tiny bit similar. But not even close to the same. I understand wym but he had a tiny bit of a point. No need to respond back just wanted to let you know what he meant
If Ahsoka wanted to go all out, this woman wouldnt have lasted longer than her first parry/defence. 100% Try Hard Ahsoka ends this fight in 3 seconds flat.
@@imvellyy not anyone could had made that cut thou, even if Vader was distracted it was her speed and agility that made it possible to land a hit on him. Most others wouldn't had been able to get so close
@@edalive9739 that makes a bunch of sense, but anybody who hasnt seen the show, and decides to read this will think ahsoka just faced off with vader and opened his mask. no cut, no missing limbs NOTHING lol, all they have to go off of is this comment and how great she is in this episode.
Doesn't help that that's about the worst place for a spear-wielder. Can't back up very far, can't circle... Nullifies basically every advantage a spear has against a sword.
@@user-vr5zk9ox8d it really is a brutal weapon. Almost any mistake you make and you can just maim various parts of your opponent. But not like a sword, where you actually need lots of effort to cut effectively; more like a knife through butter.
@@O1OO1O1 Yes... but she’s also connected through it with the Force. It’s why Count Dooku was able to masterfully incapacitate ObiW when they first fought. Also, I’m pretty sure -like 10000000000000000000000000% sure -it would have been real ez to just chop off her fingers by sliding it down the beskar shaft where her fingers were. No fingers? No fight. Simple. Last two seconds. Automatically cauterizes the wounds.
Was always nervous about how Ashoka would work in live-action, but they nailed it. Especially when she reverses the lightsaber like how she held it in the clone wars show.
@@FinanceWageSlave This is set after clone ward and revels so it makes sense her voice is deeper because she’s older. As for the tekku things, they already commented the reason they weren’t longer was because it got in the way of stunts.
@@FinanceWageSlave Honestly, I don't think that many people care if her head tentacles aren't an inch longer. Cartoon proportions don't always look good in live-action.
@@dominicscreativefilms people do care about this! Her character is in my opinion messed up because of this. FILONI created ahsoka and he can't even do the simple thing right.
Funny, but I had actually forgotten about this fight and just remembered Ahsoka interacting with Dinn and Grogu. I forgot that Morgan Elsbeth was already introduced in the franchise awhile ago, and was already looking for Thrawn.
I love how Morgan knew the fight wasn't about whether she could win, but how long she could hold her own and Ahsoka respected that by not taking advantage of her lack of a lightsaber. Man this kind of subtext is what makes this episode genius
Also think Ahsoka wasn’t fighting to kill, just disarm. She needed her alive to get information on Thrawn. Morgan probably also knew that so she took advantage with a duel.
@@alfredohumberto2222 It’s Beskar dude. Tell me you don’t know anything about basic Star Wars lore without telling me you don’t know anything about basic Star Wars lore.
@@alcoballic9593 That's not the only tube they can't cut nowadays, watch Asoka series and the saber can't even cut the clothes. You are talking as if you were proud about knowing nerd things
Love live action ahsoka they’ve done her justice putting her in live action and now she’s searching for Thrawn something tells me that they’ll not be the only rebels returning characters
Wasn’t too thrilled about LA Ahsoka at first, but after seeing Dawson play her she got the looks down, the way she talks, her mannerisms. They did her well, I dont think filoni would have put her in if it didnt look good
Especially now that we know that Elsbeth was a Night sister with her own dark side abilities. In this fight, she didn't even considered using them. Both of them wanted to have a respectful duel.
I just noticed Ahoska's disarm, hooking the saber grip around Morgan's weapon is similar to what Anakin pulled on Dooku. Only he went a little further and lopped his hands off.
@@Hyperdriveuk Ahsoka was trying to disarm her not kill her. Soon as she switched to her reverse grip she handled her no problem. There's a difference between fighting to kill and fighting to disarm
Fun fact: that's Bruce Lee's god daughter, Diana Lee Inosanto. Daughter of Grandmaster Daniel Inosanto, who kept Jeet Kune Do going. Diana is veteran stunt performer, martial artist, actor, and martial arts instructor.
Don't forget all of Dan Inosanto's work in the Filipino and Indonesian (Silat) Martial Arts. In fact, Ashoka's two blade work is very similar to the blade work in Silat and FMA. Fun fact: the episode premiere date of November 27, was also Bruce Lee's birthday.
@@3rd_Tower no, they just got here before me. I've been a fan of her's since Buffy the vampire slayer. Also, I'm a Bruce Lee fanboy, so to see someone connected to him in media excites me.
@@XJ0461C How come? Because Mother Talzin seemingly never returned in Canon? Or Asajj Ventress just never got an episode where she becomes a Jedi again?
@moddedinkling4168 Ventress is literally fridged to manipulate us into feeling heartbroken for some guy she just met like a week beforehand and yet fell so hard in love with him she literally trained him in the ways of the witches, which is just a huge, disgusting disservice to her character after already having her people humiliated by Grievous. Talzin isn't treated much better, some don't even understand that she did what she did out of genuine love for her family and not greed or power lust. Merrin is made to be a glorified, hit-it-and-quit-it sidekick to some guy she also just met, granted that wasn't Filoni. Morgan is a bitter tyrant devoted to Thrawn. They can't just live in peace, they have to play second fiddle and punching bag to Jedi and Sith always. It's frustrating, especially looking at them in Legends.
@@XJ0461C Uuum the Nightsisters ARE punching bags. The Jedi and the Sith are top form warriors who both managed to conquer galaxies. The Nightsisters were a cult on Dathomir that had some cultic uses of the force. Nothing close to the level of the Jedi or the Sith. They are a cheap knockoff brand. Nothing more. Legends is dead. Deal with it.
@mosesking2923 Nobody asked for your awful opinions or tastes. You're wrong in every sense. Legends came first and has been consulted for content since day one. Sidious feared them in everything for good reason and they're infinitely more interesting than both who are also cults by the way. The lack of consistency in newer material has been due to bad writing, pure and simple. Grievous isn't the only character Filoni and Lucas have screwed up.
I can't imagine how difficult this was to choreograph without Rosario accidentally hitting Diana's hands with the prop saber. They did a fantastic job making it look like a plausible fight.
I mean, prop weapons are usually made from foam rubbers or plastics and other soft stuff. Lightsabers especially can be made of softer materials since they have no edge and have to be cgi'ed in anyways. If she got hit, would it even hurt?
@@sws212 You can see the prop sabers in a lot of behind the scenes. Now I don't know if Ahsoka is using the same props as in the Sequel Trilogy, but if they are you can hear the pop when they hit and they have a distinct rigidity (they bend at the point of impact and stay bent without returning to their previous shape). I think it would sting. But also my comment was pointing out how Ahsoka needed to deliberately aim for the center of the bo-staff so as not to disarm her opponents exposed hands, which almost looked jarring.
It helps that when it comes to weapons work that Diana Lee Inosanto isn't an amateur. She is the daughter of Filipino Martial Art and Jeet Kune Do legend Dan Inosanto and the Goddaughter of Bruce Lee. She literally grew up around weapons and fighting.
I was honestly a little disappointed with this fight. They kept on cutting back to Mando which ruined the momentum and the build-up to the fight imo. It also felt a little slow and like they were dancing rather than trying to kill each other. I know Ahsoka wanted to keep her alive but the fight should have been the beskar lady on the offense with Ahsoka holding a good defense.
I just realised how weak this fight is. Litterally we have so many fights where we see Ahsoka being unstopable, and then there is this "barely" a fight, where Ahsoka somehow loose a lightsaber.
The choreography was garbage. To compare that to anything from the prequel trilogy is a joke. They didn't even get her lightsaber form right. No one designed lightsaber fights like Nick Gillard and no one ever will.
1:02 probably my favorite "lets get down" moment in any duel. Elsbeth knew she had little chance against Ahsoka, and yet she stood her ground. Respect.
I am kinda of glad that in Ahsoka, it mentioned that Morgan is actually a nightsister. This make little more sense of how she can hold up against Ahsoka.
I love the story this fight tells without dialogue. There is a minor respect for ones enemy here that we dont usually see. I also loved the way Ahsoka adapts when disarmed. Switching up your fighting style to a way you are familiar with so you fight as efficiently as possible. Badass.
I love how this episode managed to perfectly execute just how fast and agile Ahsoka is, whether it be her accelerated force jumps or flips, she’s still got the same technique as the animated version albeit creatively edited due to the limitations of live action. And it makes sense that the Magistrate was able to keep up with Ahsoka since she received training from Thrawn, but inevitably due to not having a connection to the force the magistrate was beaten, still put up a surprisingly good fight however.
Yeah I feel people aren't giving Morgan enough credit here. Ahsoka is definitely not giving 100% but Morgan is skilled enough to disarm her; she clearly has years of experience. Love the sound of the Spear hitting the ground.
@@OptimalFBax all things considered if Ahsoka did give it the 100%, Morgan wouldn’t have lasted nearly as long. Especially when we take into account the various Duels Ahsoka has participated in.
I believe this is one of the first time's (Not counting Sequel) that we see a melee combatant fight without a Lightsaber versus a Lightsaber. I find the use of non-lightsaber melee combat severely lacking in the live actions universe, and I'm glad to see the Mandalorian presents some more.
I was about to menton Finn vs Traitor but you said not including the sequels. Or Snoke's guards. Phasma could have had potential if they did something with her.
Ahsoka is clearly playing with Elsbeth, but I like how it shows when she lost her saber that she may have been underestimating her a little bit. It's not unlike her to be a little bit over confident at times, particularly against non-force wielders.
One of the hair stylists confirmed Elsbeth is actually a former nightsister. I think that explain a little why Ahsoka was struggling a bit against her.
“Rey, the first female Jedi” Ahsoka: that’s a first, and this time I don’t like it. Cmon, ahsoka in live action does more epic ness in 5 minutes of action than Rey in 3 films (not hating on Rey, just the fact that idiots claim she’s the first female Jedi)
Lots of people haven't seen the cartoons to be fair... Cause you had Luminara, Bariss, Adi Gallia, Aayla, Ahsoka, Jocasta... And yeah, most of them appear in the films too, but in cameos, so Rey was the first female jedi with actual decent screentime in the movies
Lol who claims she’s the first female Jedi? I love Rey but anyone who says that probably hasn’t seen Star Wars. Even Ashoka was no where near the first female Jedi there where a bunch in the clone wars and prequels
I appreciate Ahsoka's honorable conduct, allowing the Magistrate to challenge her in single combat despite being hopelessly outclassed. It was never going to end any other way.
And it was at approximately the 2:27 mark of this scene when the entire Star Wars fandom had this look 😮 on our faces because we knew that line was going to lead to something special.
Love this series. They make it look so cool, they give the fights weight. You can feel there is a risk of injury. Just the way Ahsoka activates her lightsabers, then the close up of the faces. This is awesome.
When she went reverse grip I went nuts. Super over done today but when the clone wars came out and I saw her do it. It was probably the first time I saw it
Don't know if she was supposed to be a Witch of Dathomir all along but it makes total sense. Also the actress is just too good to not bring back. I've been pretty critical of them but bravo Filoni/Lucasfilm/Disney.
She was supposed to be a Nightsister all along. I think someone from the Mandalorian production team said it in an interview after the episode we see here first aired.
I think it's interesting that originally the Dark Saber was made because Lucas didn't want a weapon that could deflect lightsabers. But now there's a beskar spear smacking against a lightsaber on the most important Star Wars anything to happen in the past ten years.
A plot point this series seems to want to show is that pure Beskar once refined can hold against lights sabers. To be fair that has always kinda been a plot point since Mandalorian armor was made to withstand light saber strikes.
@@Adam-yq9xe ?? Okay. You’re misunderstanding. Before the Mandalorian, maybe like 6-7 years ago when Maul first came back to the Clone Wars, George Lucas didn’t want anything to deflect against lightsabers. He wanted it to be an unstoppable weapon. There’s a reason why the Darksaber looks like a vibrosword, because it was originally supposed to be one. It wasn’t until The Mandalorian that they introduced Beskar again.
I noticed she didnt hold her lightsaber in her traditional reverse grip that we're used to seeing her do, until the end of the duel. When she only had one lightsaber and looked more serious. I wonder if thats like a sign that Ahsoka wasnt taking the fight that seriously until she kinda underestimated her opponent and finally was. You know?
@@m.taufiqnurwansyah6607 I know that But with Ahsoka's skill lvl she probably could've ended it, without killing her, much more quickly then she did here. She was playing with her. Not treating her as a threat (honeslty to Ahsoka she wasn't really) so she didn't hold her lightsabers comfortably. In the way she's used to. The reverse grip. THAT'S what I'm wondering. If that was intentional or not
This is honestly the best live action Disney era lightsaber fight to date. All the other good ones are animated (Ahsoka vs Maul, Ahsoka vs Vader, and Obi Wan vs Maul).
His scene of Rey/Kylo vs Red guards is actually one of few that are generally liked from his movies.And those red guards were also not dying so easily as regular strormtroopers do.
@@-mufka6633 it was pretty shocking. I mean for most people its fine since they don't pay much attention to what is actually going on but it is just sloppy.
It's funny that they only call Morgan a Nightsister of Dathomir in production. Makes sense that she can keep up with Ahsoka she's using the force to guide her otherwise she wouldn't have lasted a second
The episode has shown a perfect balance between the Lightsaber duels of the Original Trilogy and the Prequels. Ahsoka shows a precise, practical, economic, and yet an elegant fighting style.
It’s pretty clear that Ahsoka isn’t fighting to kill here. She’s keeping Elsbeth alive for the information she holds. This duel could have been over in seconds.
One thing I've always had an issue with when it came to light sabers is that they never looked like they had any weight to them but here you can really feel the impact of each strike fixing that issue
This fight scene was terrible imo Ahsoka has the skills of a Jedi and was trained by Anakin. She has fought and held her own against General Grievous, Darth Maul, Darth Vader, Asajj Ventress and easily bested two Imperial Inquisitors. Suddenly she struggles against spear lady. I'm not buying the whole "she was playing with her" or "she was holding back" arguments. If they had Ahsoka smirking and NOT making loud grunts and heavy breathing with a serious face the whole time I might but that's not what the choreography showed. Plus you don't get disarmed and have your lightsaber get flung off into water if you're playing around. Why was she intentionally trying to avoid her fingers? Also, a lot of the choreography doesn't even match up going from cut to cut. I've trained in Kali with Dan Inosanto (the father of the woman who played the magistrate) and one of the main principles when defending while using single or double sticks is to aim for your opponents hand clutching their weapon if you can. It has the least amount of movement during the swing of the weapon and actually does damage, as opposed to blocking against the stick. Diana Lee would know this better than me. To me, it felt like they lessened what a Jedi is capable of so that they could shoe horn in a longer-than-it-needed-to-be, tense fight scene where they appeared evenly matched for a bit and then the magistrate seemingly gets the upper hand when she disarms Ahsoka but then the "good guy" gets angry, turns it around and wins. This scene would've been way more badass if they had a slightly longer sequence similar to 1:44 to 1:52, followed by Ahsoka smirking and then proceeding to slide her light saber along the spear in the next attack, disarming the magistrate and taking her fingers off in the process. End rant
Congrats, you're expecting a star wars spaghetti western TV show to cater to the real life realism and constraints of martial arts. We already know Filoni is a feel and theme person over technicality director, it's generally not worth your time to try and justify the inaccuracies compared to the real world, because that's not what he nor anyone else in star wars is aiming for. Even then, they've made huge strides in paralleling samurai movie storytelling and visuals more than any other star wars movie. All I'm saying is that realism in choreography is not what star wars nor what this episode is about. It's about the mysticism of the jedi/ahsoka and the child's development, and they nailed that.
@@ImDeluxeSP33some I honestly think it's reasonable to have the expectation of a coherent fight scene to close out the episode that introduced a character that is almost a superhero of the star wars universe. Spaghetti western, Tombstone quickdraw moment, Samurai showdown, cool visuals can all stay. I definitely wouldn't want them to restrict a lightsaber fight scene into something that would be 100% realistic. I'm just not a fan of seeing style completely negate the substance. It would be like if it was a movie that had a big important soccer game at the climax of the movie and every time the serious-faced star player (and one of the greatest players in the world) had a wide-open goal from less than a foot away they either kicked it into the crossbar, missed the ball completely or struck a pose and then turned around to run back to an opposing player and get tackled. People would rightfully think "wtf is going on?" To each their own and all that but I saw people bending over backwards to defend the scene using arguments that made no sense when in reality it is almost certainly that they lazily went for style at the expense of Ahsoka's ability and coherency. I always wish I could hear the thought process behind decisions like this.
Not only that, Thrawn is a great fighter too, trained in various types of fighting by the galactic empire and the Chiss empire, and if she is his apprentice, it is obvious that he taught her how to fight very well.
I always wondered how a "simple" human was able to disarm ahsoka and getting close to defeat her, even if snips was just toying with her. But now we know. She is not just a "simple" human. She is a nightsister, meaning, she has the force
@@elpresadorjr.6620 yeah kinda, but in this fight Ahsoka want only information not killing her. Besides i think Ahsoka is honorable enogh to not cheat with using force against non force oponent, it is just a respectfull fight
@@domino0319 Cheat? That makes absolutely no sense. That's the entire point of BEING a Jedi. So, all those thousands of years of protecting the Republic, when in combat they would handicap themselves to benefit their non-force using opponents to be "fair"? 😂😂😂 Sorry, but that's absurd. The real answer is bad writing and/or lack of attention to detail.
