AHSOKA Part 7 "Dreams and Madness" | NYSQ Breakdown & Review

We've almost reached the end of the first season of Ahsoka and wow do your Fellow Nerds have A LOT to talk about!



The ongoing theme for us seemed to be, "that wasn't what we expected" but overall, still really good and arguably some of the BEST Star Wars we've seen.  This latest episode of the Disney Plus series felt like it was moving all the important chess pieces around the board but overall seemed cut short.  It existed to set up the finale and other than a few fun scenes like having our old pal C3PO (Anthony Daniels) show up as a representative of Leah (thank you for sparing us from any sort of digital CGI Zombie of Carrie Fisher) and a recording of Anakin (Hayden Christensen), it didn't do much else for the story.  While that's not necessarily a bad thing, the episode really needed more substance.

The Enigmatic Zeffo: Unraveling Their Mysterious History in Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order


In the vast and immersive Star Wars universe, the Zeffo are a species that remains relatively enigmatic, yet their presence is deeply intertwined with the events of "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order." With their ancient tombs, cryptic hieroglyphics, and mystical artifacts, the Zeffo have left an indelible mark on the galaxy's history. In this article, we delve into the history of the Zeffo and their role in the popular video game "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order."

The Origins of the Zeffo

The origins of the Zeffo are shrouded in mystery, and little is known about their homeworld or the circumstances that led to their prominence in the galaxy. What we do know is that the Zeffo were a highly advanced and force-sensitive species who possessed a deep reverence for the Force and its various aspects. This reverence was reflected in their culture and architecture, which prominently featured elements related to the Force.

Zeffo Artifacts and Tombs

One of the most intriguing aspects of the Zeffo culture is their elaborate tombs and crypts, scattered across various planets in the "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order" universe. These tombs, often hidden deep within the planets, were designed to honor and preserve the memories of important Zeffo individuals. Inside these tombs, players encounter a wealth of Zeffo artifacts and hieroglyphics that provide crucial clues to the game's plot.

The Zeffo and the Force

The Zeffo's connection to the Force is a central theme in "Jedi: Fallen Order." They believed in the balance of the Force and its connection to all living things. This belief system influenced their architecture and led them to construct elaborate structures designed to harness the power of the Force. These structures, often resembling massive spires and temples, served as focal points for the Zeffo's Force-related rituals.

The Importance of the Zeffo in the Game

In "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order," the player-controlled character, Cal Kestis, embarks on a journey to unravel the mysteries of the Zeffo and their connection to the ancient Zeffo tombs. The Zeffo's role in the game extends beyond historical significance, as players encounter numerous challenges and puzzles within these tombs, all while trying to evade the sinister Inquisitors who are hot on Cal's trail.

The Zeffo, a mysterious and ancient species in the Star Wars universe, play a pivotal role in "Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order." Their history, reverence for the Force, and the elaborate tombs they left behind all contribute to the depth and intrigue of the game's narrative. As players explore the Zeffo's legacy and uncover their secrets, they become immersed in a rich and engaging storyline that adds another layer of depth to the beloved Star Wars mythos. The Zeffo's enigmatic history continues to captivate fans and reminds us of the enduring allure of the galaxy far, far away.

AHSOKA Part 6 "Far, Far Away" | NYSQ Breakdown & Review

 On Tuesday we wear orange and watch Ahsoka!!!  (EPISODE 6 SPOILERS)



Well Fellow Nerds, that was another OUTSTANDING episode of Ahsoka. As always, spoilers ahead.

Part 6 of Ahsoka finally delivers answers regarding the long-awaited return of Grand Admiral Thrawn (Lars Mikkelsen) as well as the continued search for Ezra Bridger (Eman Esfandi).
The episode opens with Ahsoka’s (Rosario Dawson) sole appearance in the episode, as she and Huyang (David Tennant) continue Purrgiling their way to Peridea.  Huyang regales us with a story that took place A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

As we discover, the purrgil from the final episode of Rebels, delivered Grand Admiral Thrawn and Ezra Bridger to Peridea, the planet where they go to die, an eerie site where its rings are revealed to be the skeletons of countless star whales. This is also the original home of the Nightsisters before they arrived on Dathomir.

Mikkelson voiced Thrawn in Star Wars Rebels and the actor seamlessly steps back into the role of a villain who always sees the big picture. He never underestimated the Rebels crew and views Sabine as a last chance to actually kill Ezra, though he won’t overextend his weakened forces on petty revenge if it endangers his greater goal of escaping exile.  He even states that he's willing to leave Baylan Skoll (Ray Stevenson) and his apprentice Shin Hati (Ivanna Sakhno) behind if they in any way interfere with him leaving the new galaxy.

But what is Baylan actually after?

Will Ezra find out the truth behind Sabine's appearance? 

Is the barely functional New Republic ready for Thrawn and his Night Troopers?  Find out with your fellow Nerds as we breakdown, review, and ask What's Next.
