REBELS SEASON 2 BREAKDOWN! Ahsoka Easter Eggs You NEED TO KNOW!

Welcome back to New Rockstars. I'm Eric. Voss. And this is a breakdown of Star. Wars Rebels season 2. Whether you've. watched Rebels or not, we are doing this. four-part rewatch series to break down. the Easter eggs, the plot points, and. the tie-ins to the larger Star Wars. universe of this animated series so that. you can go into titles like Ahsoka as. somewhat of an expert. And at the end of. this breakdown, I'm going to give you a. bit of a cheat sheet with the most. useful stuff you need to know coming out. of this season going into Ahsoka. Please. subscribe to the Break Room because. that's going to be where our upcoming. Ahsoka aftershow Wookiee Leaks is. And. you're going to want to stick with us. for these eight episodes of Ahsoka. All.

right, let's get started. Rebels season. 2, episodes 1 and 2, The Siege of. Lothal, parts 1 and 2. The Ghost crew. now works for the Rebel Phoenix Squadron. led by Jun Sato and including Ahsoka. Tano. Ezra, you will notice, still has. his scar from he and Kanan's fight with. the Inquisitor in the season 1 finale. Just a bit of nice continuity for this. series that it sticks with as it. continues. Just to show Ezra's brushes. with the dark side stay with him. Lord. Vader shakes down Minister Tua and we. get a close-up of his outstretched hand. gesturing toward Tua as seen by Kallus.

Like he knows this high-ranking wizard. is known to force choke officers. And. this season we start to see how Kallus. starts to have second thoughts about his. loyalties. Tua reaches out to the Rebels. to defect, offering a list of Rebel. sympathizers on Lothal and the true. reason the Emperor cares about Lothal. But Tua's shuttle explodes and Vader. blames the Rebels. And the Bridger home. is destroyed. Ezra also later sees. Tarkintown, another possible refuge, going up in smoke. So like Luke. Skywalker in Star Wars, you can't go. home again. As they try to escape, Ezra. and Kanan sense a cold presence and. boom, Vader. Red lightsaber, same pose.

he strikes in the Rogue One kill box. He. takes on Ezra and Kanan one-handed and. he seems to just be playing with them. But why? Really, he wants them to escape. so that he can track them to the rest of. the Rebel fleet, which brings us to this. crucial moment when Vader turns to look. out of his cockpit sensing a presence he. hasn't felt since. And this moment is so. good. The fear, the anger, the hate. It's the sister we faced. The apprentice lives. No! Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to.

hate. Hate leads to Vader, mother f- She. assumed Anakin was dead. This season. shows Ahsoka in denial of this truth. that Anakin is the same person as Vader, and I don't think she really believes it. until she actually sees that face. beneath the mask in the season finale. Vader communicates with Palpatine, voiced here by Sam Witwer, and he tells. the emperor that the apprentice. Skywalker lives. This is an opportunity we cannot let. pass. Skywalker's apprentice could lead. us to other lost Jedi. Such as Kenobi.

Yeah, quite a few promises made here for. this season. Vader Ahsoka rematch, Witwer's voice tells us that the. animated version of Maul may be in the. works, and someday later in the series. we'll get the RETURN OF KENOBI. EPISODE 3, THE LOST COMMANDERS, Ahsoka. sends the Ghost crew to the Stygeon. system to find somebody that she used to. know. Rex, former clone trooper from the. 501st and later the 332nd companies, recurring companion to Ahsoka Tano and. Anakin and Kenobi in Clone Wars. He's. joined by Gregor and Wolffe. Gregor's.

shirt has a Power Sliders logo on it. Power Sliders was a diner on Atollon. where Gregor was a dishwasher for a bit. Gregor agrees to help them find a base. location if they use Zeb's bait to catch. a joopa. That's a giant worm creature. that they could feed on for a year. This. scene where they catch it totally an. homage to Jaws. Kanan doesn't trust. clones after Order 66, of course, but. Rex says that they never betrayed the. Jedi because they removed their control. chips, and you can see a scar on their. heads from where those chips were. surgically removed, a process that we. see on Rex in the Clone Wars season 7. finale. Rex tells Ezra, A great Jedi once told me that the best.

leaders lead by example. Something that must have been said to. him by Anakin when Rex served under his. command during the Clone Wars, but. Wolffe rats them out and Imperial droid. damages the Phantom. Episode 4, Relics. of the Old Republic, stranded on. Stygeon, Rex offers a few possible rebel. base sites, and the other two are like, "You know what? I'm actually done with. war." Agent Kallus arrives with AT-ATs. or AT-ATs on the horizon, an homage to. how these things were first introduced. on Hoth in Empire Strikes Back. Ezra. uses the Force to see through a. sandstorm and fires at a weak point on. the walkers. Kallus almost finishes. them.

Just like the old days. Yeah, just like the old days. Clone Wars. Rex is back. And he meets a new. Inquisitor here, the Fifth Brother. His. design was actually inspired by unused. artwork for The Force Awakens. We saw. the live-action version of the Fifth. Brother in Obi-Wan Kenobi, played by. Sung Kang. The Rebels escape Stylo's. ship, where Rex reunites with Ahsoka. Later, it was confirmed that Gregor and. Wolffe actually stayed behind and made. that last AT-AT their new home. Dave. Filoni confirmed that there was a. deleted scene that showed this. Episode. 5, "Always Two There Are", of course a.

reference to Yoda's line about the Sith. in Phantom Menace, the Sith Rule of Two, which comes back in the Sith temple on. Malachor this season. Here, it refers to. two Inquisitors, the Fifth Brother and. the Seventh Sister, who's voiced by. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Kanan actor. Freddie Prinze Jr.'s wife. Ezra, Sabine, and Zeb and Chopper take the Phantom to. get some medical supplies from an Old. Republic medical base. It's kind of a. scene straight out of Aliens. Chopper. encounters an ID9 seeker droid pet that. belongs to the Seventh Sister. Fifth. Brother captures Sabine. Seventh Sister. captures and interrogates Ezra about. Ahsoka. Zeb and Chopper rescue Ezra and. Sabine and escape back to the Rebel.

fleet, where Kanan is shocked to learn. about these new Inquisitors. "How many. are there?" Episode 6, "Brothers of the. Broken Horn". Rex and Kanan train Ezra. They butt heads over whether one should. be a soldier or a Jedi. Ezra says he's. not sure if he wants to be either, because our dude is in a mood. A. distress call comes from Vizago's ship. Remember him from season 1? The ship is. called the Broken Horn, which has. actually been taken over by Hondo. Ohnaka, the pirate who also appeared in. The Clone Wars, voiced by Jim Cummings. You can also see this character on the. Disneyland Galaxy's Edge ride, Smugglers. Run. He claims Vizago lost his ship to. him in a game of sabacc. An Imperial.

ship attacks, and Chopper and Ezra fix. the ship just in time to jump to. hyperspace. Ezra agrees to help Ohnaka. with a deal. They talk with the plan. that Nixus has to deliver the goods to a. buyer, as Morqen, you remember him, in. the Nixus hub. You can see a bunch of. posters on the walls, including one for. the Imperial Navy that reads "The Shape. of Freedom" and "Protecting the Galaxy. with Strength and Justice. There's also. an ad for the blue milk that every Star. Wars fan knows and a poster that reads. Leave it in hyperdrive. Ezra screwing. around with a knock of this episode. really helps him realize that the life. of a thief and a smuggler is less. appealing to him than the discipline of.

being a Jedi, but is it the discipline. or the power? Episode 7, Wings of the. Master, Kanan and the Phoenix Squadron. try bringing some food to the oppressed. people of Ibaar. Rex brings up a. prototype blockade buster that they can. find in Shatterpoint. Hera, Sabine, and. Zeb get through Shatterpoint's tricky. atmosphere and the Mon Calamari engineer. Quarrie saves them from falling off an. edge of the cliff. Quarrie also appears. in the animated series LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures. Quarrie shows. them this blockade buster called the. Blade Wing. This ship would eventually. become the B-wing, a fighter seen in the. original trilogy. Didn't get a lot of. screen time though. Hera takes control.

of the B-wing. Sabine tells Quarrie that. she'll fix the Blade Wing's laser aiming. system. Never get between a Mandalorian and a. weapons package. Yeah, something to know about Sabine, as. a former Imperial weapons expert, she. just loves to blow up. The success. of this mission gets Hera promoted to. Phoenix Squadron Leader. Episode 8, Blood Sisters. So, Sabine, Ezra, and. Chopper head to the Havoc Outpost to. intercept a courier, which ends up being. the droid EG-86. Sabine reunites with an. old friend turned bounty hunter Ketsu. Onyo, voiced by Gina Torres, of Firefly. fame. Ketsu works for a crime syndicate. Black Sun and she's seeking out the EG.

droid. Through Ketsu, we see what. Sabine's life could have looked like if. she didn't join the rebellion. We learn. that a pension to blow up goes. further when there's an Imperial crest. on that Episode 9, Stealth Strike. Ezra and Commander Sato are captured by. an Imperial Interdictor light cruiser, which creates a gravity well strong. enough to pull ships out of hyperspace. Wow. This is the episode that many of us. single out to accuse Chopper of being a. war criminal because this episode ends. with Chopper sabotaging that ship so. that it explodes and takes out two. Imperial cruisers with it, which some. estimates online have put from around.

4,500 total deaths to maybe 47,000. deaths. I don't know. I think it's. probably on the lower end of that, but. either way, that's a lot of people. Now, you could say that Luke Skywalker blew. up the Death Star. That's a lot of. stormtroopers, but the Death Star was. just about to blow up the Rebel base. They were totally justified. They were. acting in defense. Chopper meanwhile did. not need to kill this many people. Okay, episode 10, The Future of the Force. This episode is the first one to take. place in 3 BBY. We're moving ahead in. time here, folks. Closer and closer to. the events of A New Hope. Ahsoka. realizes that details about Vader are. just kind of hard to find. Hmm, why is.

that? She comes to a civilian transport. that was wiped out by the Seventh Sister. and the Fifth Brother, and they go on a. rescue mission to recover some. Force-sensitive kids. Ahsoka mentions a. past incident where Force-sensitive kids. were taken during the Clone Wars. This. is a reference to Clone Wars season 2. episode 3, Children of the Force, where. Darth Sidious sent Cad Bane after some. kids. And so, after swearing off the. Jedi Order, we see that Ahsoka has to. return to her obligation to the Force. users that are out there in the. universe, which adds to her guilt that. had she not left Anakin and the Order, maybe maybe Anakin might not have fallen. to the dark side and Order 66 wouldn't.

have been as effective. Okay, episode. 11, Legacy. This episode aired on. December 9th, 2015, making it the last. Rebels episode to air before The Force. Awakens and the sequel trilogy just kind. of took everything over. Ezra dreams. about his parents in Imperial prison, and Hera and Kanan mention hearing about. a prison break. The group splits up. Ezra and Kanan go to the Phantom to. Lothal. The rest stay in Garrel with the. Ghost to help fend off the Imps. And. Ezra follows the Loth-cat that he saw in. his dream, and I'm telling you, Loth-cats are just the best. And he. meets another prisoner, Ryder Azadi, voiced by Clancy Brown, who tells Ezra. that his parents heard his broadcast.

from season 1, and that inspired them to. organize their prison break, but they. died in the breakout. So, Kanan comforts. him by telling him that his parents live. inside him, but it's kind of a mixed. rite of passage for Ezra. While it. definitely hardens his resolve, it also. saddles him with some survivor's guilt. and reminders of some personal ties in. his life that just makes him more. vulnerable to the dark side. Okay, episode 12, A Princess on Lothal, the. Leia episode. Bail Organa picks his. daughter Leia to help the Rebels secure. some much-needed cruisers, but it's. tricky, because while the Ghost crew are. all public criminals, Leia and Bail are. still pretending to be diplomatically.

neutral. Leia is voiced here by Julie. Dolan, who also voices Leia in in video. games and on the Star Tours ride at. Disney. The plan is a success and the. rebels steal the three cruisers and Leia. is able to blame the Imperials for their. failure to protect them and inspired by. this, Ryder Azadi joins the rebel cause. Okay, episode 13, The Protector of. Concord Dawn. This is an important. episode for the Mandalorian side of Star. Wars titles as Concord Dawn is one of. the moons of Mandalore and the rebels. run into the Mandalorian faction called. the Protectors. They're led by Fenn Rau, a former pilot instructor that Kanan. knows from the Battle of Mygeeto. This.

was in an issue of the Star Wars Kanan. comic. The symbol on Fenn Rau's helmet. is based on Joe Johnston's original. designs for Boba Fett before the making. of The Empire Strikes Back. Filoni named. the character after Brad Rau, director. of this episode and a bunch of other. Star Wars animated stuff including. Resistance and The Bad Batch. They pilot. Fang fighters. These ships would also. appear in The Mandalorian season 3 in. chapters 23 and 24. And we learn that. these Mandalorians have sided with the. Empire. That's right. The Mandalorian. factions have some diverse loyalties. which will be important to Sabine in. season 3. Sabine reveals to the. Protectors that she is from House Visla.

and she challenges Rau to single combat. Working together, Kanan and Sabine. capture Rau and he agrees to allow the. rebels safe passage through Concord. Dawn. But we learn that even the Ghost. crew could be divided by their past. loyalties and their past lives before. the rebellion. Episode 14, Legends of. the Lasat. The Ghost crew arrives to. Nixus Hub 218. This is the same world. that we saw in The Brothers of the. Broken Horn. They rescue a pair of. Lasats, Chava the Wise and Gron. So Zeb. ain't the last of his species. That's. good news. These two are seeking the. mystical world of Lira San where. surviving Lasats can find refuge. Zeb.

transforms his bow rifle into its true. form and combines it with Chava's staff. revealing Lira San's location in the. uncharted wild space. Zeb decides to. stay with the Ghost crew to continue. looking for Lasats. Another rebel. chooses to stick with the rebellion. rather than another life that they could. live. But this is the episode that the. ancient names of the sides of the Force. are first revealed by Chava calling the. light side Ashla and the dark side. Bogan. These get repeated by the Bendu. in a later episode of Rebels. We'll get. to him later. But these terms actually. come from early treatments of the first. Star Wars film by George Lucas. And. Ahsoka's name in early development for.

Clone Wars is actually Ashla and Ahsoka. is the name that she later takes on as. an alias during her exile during E.K. Johnston's novel. Episode 15, The Call. This is the first appearance of the. purgill. I mentioned in the pilot. episode that the sound of the Force that. Ezra heard sounds like a whale call. A possible purgill out there, and he. meets them here. Purgill will play an. important role in the final episode of. the series. They show up in live action. in chapter 17 of The Mandalorian as well. as Ahsoka. Purgill will consume the. Clouzon-36 gas in the atmosphere to. power their ability to jump to.

hyperspace. During this mission to. capture fuel from the mining guild, Ezra. and Kanan help these purgill, and Ezra. forms a special bond with these. creatures that will pay off later.

We visit the. Twi'lek home of the Ryloth system that. first appeared in a flashback in the. Clone Wars season 1 episode, Jedi Crash. We meet Hera's father, Cham Syndulla, a. Clone Wars hero with the nickname of the. Liberator of Ryloth. His first. appearance was in the Clone Wars. episode, Liberty on Ryloth. Father and. daughter argue, and we hear Hera's. Twi'lek accent come through here. I am part of something bigger.

Cham only cares about the Twi'lek. resistance and not the overall rebel. cause, so he just wants to bomb the. Imperial carrier, while Hera wants to. capture it so that the rebels can use. it. But, they do get to blow up an. Imperial Star Destroyer, so you know. Cham does get his show of force. Episode. 17, The Honorable Ones. So, we return to. Geonosis. That's the planet from Attack. of the Clones, where they learn the. Geonosian insectoid species are all. dead. Why? Well, because Palpatine. ordered the genocide of the Geonosians. to keep secret the construction of the. Death Star. Oh my god. Zeb and Kallus get stranded together on. a cave on a nearby ice moon. They run.

into a bonzaii creature, which gets its. name from the Zamboni. This is an. important episode for Kallus, who admits. to Zeb here that he respects the Lasat's. warriors, and he didn't agree with the. Empire's decision to exterminate them, and that the bow rifle he previously. claimed to have stolen from a dead Lasat. Honor Guard was actually given to him by. that guard after he defeated him in an. honorable duel. The two leave each other. with a mutual respect, and they nearly. started kissing, I would say. But, that. coldness that Kallus felt on this moon. was nothing compared to the coldness. that greeted him back on this Imperial. Star Destroyer. Our man's got thoughts. Episode 18, Shroud of Darkness. Okay, so. all Jedi Temple or Sith Temple episodes.

are must-watches. This one's no. different. Kanan and Ezra battle the. Seventh Sister and Fifth Brother because. Chopper, I guess, forgot to pick them. up. They're on U s a lon, and Ezra and. Kanan are saved by the Dume family. Remember these guys? Seventh Sister. says, Such a handsome face. I don't go for crazy. Anymore. Yeah, it's a fun husband and wife. exchange between the Geller and Prinze. Ahsoka watches the recording of Anakin. I've made some adjustments to the. classic form four techniques. So, form four, also known as Ataru, is. one of the seven forms of lightsaber. combat practiced by both Jedi and Sith. It's an aggressive style that is.

fast-paced and effective against single. opponents, though weaker in prolonged. combat and confined spaces. Anakin made. some adjustments to form four. Yeah, because it failed him with Dooku, and. this could actually explain why Ahsoka. uses two sabers. They return to the. Lothal Jedi Temple, and Ezra asks Ahsoka. if she wants to open it, but she says. she's no longer a Jedi. Because she is. with them, a different, deeper door on. the temple opens. Inside, the three. split up because we are in a spiritual. sequel to last season's Path of the. Jedi, and it's so good. Kanan seeks. knowledge to defeat the Inquisitors, and. he's greeted in his vision by a. sentinel, who's a Jedi Temple Guard. His.

double-sided saber tells us this is. going to be a familiar face, and yes, it. is the Utapauan Grand Inquisitor that. was voiced by Jason Isaacs. It's a. warning that even great Jedi can still. fall to the will of the dark side, so. keep an eye on Ezra. Ezra, meanwhile, meets with Yoda. More than just his. voice this time, we actually see Yoda as. he communes with Ezra from the swamps of. Dagobah. And he shows Ezra a near. shot-for-shot recreation of the closing. shots of Attack of the Clones, and he. tells Ezra to find Malachor. For Ahsoka, Matt Lanter returns as Anakin in this. episode. Ahsoka, why did you leave? Where were you when I. needed you? Do you know.

what I've become? No! Yeah, our girl cannot accept it. They. escape an attack from the Inquisitors, who are able to access this temple. because they are former Jedi. The Fifth. Brother says that the Jedi are growing. in their power, and Vader replies, It will be their undoing. True, true, true. Okay, episode 19, The. Forgotten Droid, and episode 20, The. Mystery of the Chopper Base. They are. both fun, but filler episodes from Rebel. season 2. I'd say all you really need to. know about these is that in episode 20, they do run into some Krykna ice spiders.

like the ones Din Djarin and Grogu run. into in Mando season 2. Okay, here we. go. The two final episodes, episode 21. and episode 22, Twilight of the. Apprentice, part one and part two. So, Ezra, Ahsoka, and Kanan go to Malachor, which they say has always been. off-limits to the Jedi. And yeah, no. Ahsoka says, There's always a bit of truth in. legends. I love this line. So many ways to read. it. Truth in legends, aka expanded. universe material, truth in legends like. Ahsoka's experience in Mortis, truth in. legendary figures like Maul, and truth. in the legends of the Sith, who for. thousands of years were really the.

dominant class of force wielders. Malachor was actually first alluded to. back in 2004 in Star Wars Knights of the. Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. It's. where the dark side of the Force runs. strong. Approaching this planet, the. trio see these large black structures, almost reminiscent of the black monolith. in 2001: A Space Odyssey. They jut out. of the planet. I got to say, the Sith. design style just way better than the. Jedi style. But the Sith temple appears. like a pyramid, just like the holocron. that Ezra will later obtain. Dave Filoni. has said in interviews that they. designed the Sith temple to have red. glowing lines at the base to look like. veins, because they want the Sith.

temples and Jedi temples to feel like. sentient creatures in their own right. The three of them find this battlefield. where Sith and Jedi fought thousands of. years ago, the Jedi hoping to stop a. Sith superweapon. The Sith activated. that weapon and they turned all these. living beings into Pompeii-like stone. Now, this is actually inspired a kind of. Sith drug called Ashes of Malachor, which allows consumers to increase their. ties to the dark side and power at the. cost of their own mortality. Maul is. actually seen inhaling some Ashes of. Malachor in the second issue of the. comic book series Darth Maul number two, that was in 2017. Ezra picks up a broken.

crossguard lightsaber with a green. blade. This episode came out a few. months after The Force Awakens, so this. gave some historical credence to Kylo. Ren's blade design. The Eighth Brother, a new Inquisitor, has been stalking. them, and he keeps like finding them and. then being like, "Hey, you better come. chase me." Meanwhile, Ezra meets this. old man who calls himself Old Master. This is actually Maul, voiced by Sam. Witwer, who of course voiced the. character in Clone Wars. So awesome to. have him back. When this episode came. out in 2016, the last time we had seen. Maul was in Clone Wars season five after. his seizure of Mandalore with the Death. Watch, when he had the darksaber, and he. was left tortured and taken by Sidious,

who at this point had replaced him with. Dooku and soon after that replaced him. Dooku with Anakin. Now, later Clone Wars. season seven would show Maul's return to. Mandalore after his escape from Sidious, his duel with Ahsoka, and his escape. during Order 66. So, yeah, right now our. guy hates the Empire. Ezra also uses the. name Alise when he talks to him, names. himself Java, which Maul can't help but. laugh at because he did meet the real. Jabba the Hutt in Clone Wars episode. Eminence, when Maul was head of the. Shadow Collective. The Sith temple. requires two Jedi to lift the stones. together and two to ascend the pyramid. at any given time, reflecting of course. the Sith Rule of Two, which Maul tries.

to use to isolate himself with Ezra and. manipulate Ezra's pain. Your anger is a wellspring. You must use. it. Your passions give you strength, and through strength you gain power. You. have seen it. You feel it. You must break your chains. Maul then has to find this Sith. holocron. Now, this Sith holocron has a. small inscription that translates into. Latin in umbris potestas est or in the. shadows there is power. Maul uses the.

holocron to open doors, a metaphor for. the doors to the dark side he can. unlock. The three inquisitors unite and. they recognize Maul as the shadow, which. is kind of their way of saying. Omar coming. Kanan, Ezra, and Ahsoka and. Maul versus the three inquisitors. The. lightsaber dueling is so great in this. finale. Maul force chokes and kills the. seventh sister. Maul sees something. moving on the surface blocking out the. light from above. It's a literal walking. shadow. Definitely Vader approaching. The fifth brother goes down. The eighth. brother falls when his spinning blade. breaks, but to his death? They're. probably We're not exactly sure.

Probably. Maul blinds Kanan. Oh my god. Now, this blindness is actually part of. the character design from the start. because in a now deleted tweet. Lucasfilm's Pablo Hidalgo said that. Kanan, another blind Jedi character, Rahm Kota, from the Legends canon were. both inspired by Zatoichi, who is a. prominent fictional character in. Japanese pop culture. Ezra reaches the. top of the pyramid and activates the. holocron. It activates the presence, which is a disembodied intelligence. taking the form of pink and purple. lightning. It is a female presenting. voice played by actress Nika Futterman. The presence is the last remains of a. female Sith who once commanded the super.

weapon housed in the Sith temple. This. presence says. Knowledge is power. Kanan reaches for a mask left behind by. one of these Jedi to battle Maul. Literally there is truth in legends. here. He uses this and the force to. defeat Maul. The presence tells Ezra. that she's been waiting to unleash her. power at his command. When Ezra refuses, she says that perhaps the other who. approaches will claim it, but it's not. Maul. It's Vader. It's Vader versus. Ezra. Vader says. Then you will die braver than most.

But Ahsoka intervenes and Ahsoka finally. admits what she's been denying all. season and this This is so great. Anakin Skywalker was weak. I destroyed. him. Then I will avenge his death. Revenge is not the Jedi way. I am no Jedi. Yes, Ahsoka transforms her guilt for. leaving the Jedi order, for leaving. Anakin into a new power to go further. than the Jedi orthodoxy restraint would. allow her to go. They start fighting. Meanwhile, blind Kanan arrives with.

Chopper adorably holding his hand. The. master and apprentice remove the. holocron together. Ahsoka holds Vader. back. Ahsoka slices Vader's helmet and. underneath, oh my god, we see Vader's. face. Now, it includes an eyebrow. The. eyebrow is supposed to be burned off, but they used this because they used. Anakin's 3D animation model from the. lightsaber tutorial earlier. And listen. to this, we hear Ahsoka mixed in with. Matt Lanter's voice and James Earl. Jones' voice. Ahsoka. But as he transitions to then you will. die, it is just one voice. Then you will die.

The temple collapses as they duel. We. don't learn until later how Ahsoka got. through her battle with Vader. But as. Vader steps out of the ruins, we do see. Ahsoka's Morai bird from the Mortis arc. in Clone Wars. The final shot of the. season shows Ezra with the red light of. the Sith holocron reflected in his eyes. Like that scar on his face, his brush. with the dark side leaves a mark. Okay, coming into season 2, here's a bit of a. cheat sheet for you. The must-watch. episodes, ALL OF THEM. WATCH ALL OF. THEM. They're all fun. But if you only. have time for a few, just watch the. temple episodes. Episode 18, Shroud of. Darkness, 21 and 22, Twilight of the.

Apprentice. Okay, stand out moment of. the season, Ahsoka encountering Anakin. for the first time since he became Darth. Vader. Neither knew the other was alive. until now. The Malachor rematch, one for. the ages. Ahsoka saying I am no Jedi. And we'll come back to this moment later. in the series. We meet a few more. Inquisitors. They don't last beyond this. season. We learn the Ghost crew's. backstories, and Kallus is now warming. up to Zeb. Maul is back, baby, and he's. taking a keen interest in Ezra. And we. have to remember the whole history of. Jedi temples and Sith temples. Sith used. to be the dominant class of force. wielders. If anyone has a claim to.

history, it's them, not the Jedi. The. Jedi are the aberration and the anomaly. And that is why the dark side of the. force is far more potent.
