Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Thrawn reads Ahsoka's bio he gets a curious, knowing look on his face and says "So, Ahsoka Tano was the apprentice of General Anakin Skywalker", because Thrawn once knew Anakin Skywalker. This is a bit of a nod to Timothy Zahn's prequel novels about Thrawn. The novel "Chaos Rising" takes place in 19 BBY near the end of the Clone Wars, at the time Thrawn was still an officer in the Chiss Expansionary Defense Fleet, the Chiss were facing a threat from a new enemy. Thrawn left Chiss space in an effort to search for allies and/or new technology to fight this enemy, his search took him to a planet near the edge of the Unknown Regions. This planet also happened to be the location of a secret Separatist base protected by a planetary shield generator, while at the planet Thrawn encountered Anakin Skywalker on a mission to destroy the base. Thrawn agreed to help Skywalker with his mission in exchange for allowing him to take the shield generator as the Chiss did not have such technology. Later on in the novel "Alliances", which takes place in 2 BBY after Thrawn joined the Empire and obtained the rank of Grand Admiral, Emperor Palpatine sent both Thrawn and Vader on a secret mission to investigate a disturbance in the Force that Palpatine felt. This was Thrawn's first time working with Vader, their mission took them to the same planet that Thrawn met Anakin at, and thanks to Thrawn's exceptional powers of observation and deduction it was not long before Thrawn was able to figure out that Darth Vader used to be Anakin Skywalker, making Thrawn one of the very few people at the time that knew Vader's secret. Hence Thrawn's reaction to learning Skywalker was Ahsoka's master.
- GoofsAhsoka plays a recording of Anakin Skywalker. But he is clearly middle-aged, very different from what he was before he suffered massive injuries as Darth Vader.
- Quotes
Anakin Skywalker: [Ahsoka is playing back a hologram of him as she's practicing] In this war, you'll face more than just droids. General Grievous, Asajj Ventress, even Count Dooku. You can face any one of them on the battlefield. As your Master, it's my responsibility to prepare you, so practice these forms often, at least more than I do. If we get separated or something happens, you need to be able to make it on your own. Don't be afraid. Just remember what I taught you, and trust your instincts. I know you can do this, Ahsoka.
[He bows. Ahsoka stops practicing and bows at the same time as him before the hologram stops]
For what it's worth, there are a lot of stunning visual aspects in this episode. Peridea looks amazing and it's one of the few locations throughout this show that hasn't felt like it was all volume. The quality in terms of the visual direction has been upped a lot and the aesthetic seems to have found its stride, especially during the action sequences which were very entertaining this episode. There were also a lot of great character moments, with Eman Esfandi finally showing us why he was the perfect casting for Ezra, both in terms of just capturing the essence of the character, but also through the physicality he brings to the role. However, for the most part, this episode didn't really give us anything in terms of progressing the story, and it's starting to give me a bad feeling about where the finale is headed. There's a lot that needs to be processed and we need to see something formidable in order for this show to have actually been worth it, which are big expectations to put on a finale, but it just goes to show how disappointing this actually was. Again, most of what happened was cool, but it was cool from a visual perspective. Another great lightsaber duel, but not a lot of character development this time around like there was last time. I'm honestly a little worried, but I'm keeping my head high and imagining that Filoni will be able to bring us over the finish line with a good result.
"Part Seven: Dreams and Madness" was a visually stunning episode, but an episode that left a lot to be desired in terms of where everything's going. Not a lot of actual progression happened, and except for a very nice reunion, all characters seem to be right exactly where they were when the last episode ended.
