Ashoka has new sabers.

Who will be the first to nail a design?

Already grabbing screen captures for my site and they've been uploaded.  =)  So excited.  I'm really loving this show so far.  Right now all I have is 720, by tomorrow I should have some better 1080p captures.

(Probably want to title this with a spoiler warning)

Ahsoka/Fulcrums lightsaber design looks very promising if someone can make them. I would buy a pair if they become reality and Vader ended the show...sick! :o

Ahsokas Sabers look similar to assaj ventress. Reason for that?

Psh. Dude, I've got legit Chicago style Pizza 10 min from my house. I'll take that over disney land any day of the week. ;)

In the clone wars, Ventress had a lot of influence in Ashoka's development. I'd like to think that's where the similarities come from. Ashoka is no longer "Jedi", so that makes sense she doesn't adhere to the old values.

Does Anakin kill Ahsoka?...

I've been wondering that myself. given that in ANH Tarkin says to Vader that the Jedi are extinct makes you wonder if any of the three survive. We know Obi and Yoda do, ;) but where the EU has been "wiped" from Canon it makes for some interesting questions coming up along the way.

I guess season 2 will tell us more. Can't wait for Celebrations to see what goodies we can learn there.

Tarkin didn't consider Kanan a Jedi. He is probably stating the Jedi threat, the United Jedi, the true Jedis Fire has gone out.

And the Professor comes through again!!   ;D

I know I was studying the screen shots I took last night.  Looks like a pretty cool set of sabers.  I even noticed a little samurai influence in the design as I recall seeing a couple of diamond patterns on the hilt in the fore grip section (not shown in this pic as it would be on the opposite side).  Though I have to admit I was kind of hoping that when I heard Ahsoka might be coming back that she would be sporting a staff.  I felt like this would have been a natural progression of her training.

Would make for an interesting build though as her new sabers are clearly oval and not round.

Whitmers has some oval tube... I might have to convince him to part with it, especially considering how much I love white sabers.

For sure.  Since seeing this last night I've had ton of ideas how I could possible make this saber (or at least a close approximation of it).  Definitely would be fun to try.

The jedi may be extinct, but technically Ahsoka is NOT a jedi anymore. Just like starkiller was a good guy in the end, but NEVER became a jedi.

Honestly, I don't think they're really throwing out the EU at all. It is obvious that it's still inspiration to the writers.

Honestly, I don't think they're really throwing out the EU at all. It is obvious that it's still inspiration to the writers.

What gets me is that anyone who thinks that's something new.  Lucas was quoted many times as saying "they have their universe and I have mine".  The story writing for the original movies and cartoon series may have occasionally dipped into the EU but Lucas stated several times that his vision didn't follow that canon.  The statements from Disney seem to be consistent with that.  They don't want to be limited to existing EU stores.  I love the EU, but I think that's great.  Lets get some new perspective on the story.  The EU spends a lot of time rehashing the same concepts and characters.  <sorry for the off topic rant>

I personally don't have any issues with "Jedi" being alive in the continued stories.  Just because Tarkin, Vader, or even Yoda, didn't know about their existence doesn't mean they didn't exist.  If they are not living as a jedi (similar to how Kanan started out in the series), they may be very difficult to detect "in the force".  Obi-wan did tell them all to go into hiding, it would be great to see some of the surviving jedi reemerge in the new movies.

Oh yeah, man. Clone Wars, Rebels, and the 6 films, plus all content going forward, is canon now. All previous EU, with the above exceptions, is now non-canon, or "Legends".

So, here in the UK, I just watched it.

Did NOT expect that. I managed to escape spoilers (yay, thanks btw) and If Ahsoka is back, with fancy new sabers, I was thinking certain other characters in TCW who we don't know about. In other words, Ventress? IIRC, we never saw her after Ahsoka left the Jedi order, and they were both previously trained as Jedi... Maybe they teamed up. With such obvious similarities between the two, I wouldn't be surprised...

Post by: darth hondo on March 04, 2015, 07:02:58 PM
Return of Ahsoka and Vader in the Rebels sets up a possible reunion of the one-time pupil and master. A very intriguing possibility.

Like other reunions in the SW saga, one can expect Ahsoka to utter, "I sense a presence... A presence I haven't felt since... Anakin!" And she will be utterly devastated to learn what Anakin had become. According to the SW canon, only Obi Wan, Yoda and Sidious know the full truth behind Vader before ESB.

Will Vader strike down his erstwhile padawan like his former master in ANH? "You should not have  come back..." Or try to turn her over to the darkside?

Ahsoka is no match for Vader in a lightsaber duel so it will be interesting whether she can bring out some humanity from Vader and will survive because of it.

Granted that the story of Anakin and Ahsoka can go many different ways so it will be interesting if the Rebels series will bring a closure to their relationship or we will have to wait another TV series or even a movie series involving Ahsoka and Anakin.

My two cents.

I hope the Ashoka is eventually killed by the Emperor. That would just be a perfect addition to the saga of people he's destroyed, whom Vader Loved.

Well I hope to see a Clone Wars survivor reunion. Hera is Cham Syndulla's daughter, so he might pop in, and good 'ol Ahsoka's back... How about Hondo, Bo-Katan, Rex, Echo (still alive), the Bounty Hunters, and of course Ventress? The original rebel, Saw? How about some villains to fill in for the Inquisitor (who's too cool to be dead yet, btw ;))? M-m-m-maul!!... is probably a really long shot. Barriss might make a show, along with some of the Fleet Admirals. Yularen is still with the Empire because he's in the Deathstar meeting scene in ANH (sporting grey hair and moustache). IDK, not as many villains made it out of the CW alive. Beyond all that, I'd like to see if they somehow re-incorporate Starkiller and friends back into the cannon as well.
PS: the saber battle in this episode evoked some of the best elements from TPM and mixed it all kinds a' up with some moves I haven't seen since Katarn was rockin a saber and a blaster in Dark Forces II, but this time, the blaster was also a friggin' lightsaber! Can't decide if Kanan and Ezra vs Inquisitor tops Maul and Savage vs Sidious.
PSS: Sarah Michelle Gellar is supposed to play an upcoming role in season 2, presumably as a pre-existing iconic character. I say she's perfect as a certain bratty teenage princess...
