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.
