Something I feel like no one ever brings up but I feel like could be very important for Ezra’s character going forward is the fact that he is Mace Windu's great-grand-padawan. Mace Windu; the creator of Vaapad.
Because this never comes up in Rebels. We learn that, yes, Kanan’s master was Depa Billaba who was the former padawan of Mace Windu. But they never actually use it for anything. Why would Filoni make Kanan the grand-padawan of Mace Windu, and as a result make Ezra Windu's great-grand-padawan if not to use it for something. They could've made him any old Jedi's padawan, but Filoni choose Depa to be Kanan’s master.
What if this comes into play with Ezra’s character going forward and leads to him learning Vaapad? We don't know the state of the force and how it functions where Ezra has been trapped for the last decade, so what if they left Ezra in a place strong enough in the force that he could communicate to Depa Billaba and Mace Windu through the force?
Having Ezra go through so much with the dark side and learning to control it, while at the same time making him the heir to Mace Windu's lineage and the perfect candidate to carry on Vaapad which Windu himself choose who was taught it, is too much of a coincidence for nothing to be done with it. They've already tied Ezra to the World Between Worlds, why not give him some other way to interact with his grand-master and great-grand-master?
I would kill to see Ezra actively fight against Baylan and Shin using Vaapad and channelling their anger and power against them. Carrying on the legacy that Kanan never got to and carrying on Windu's knowledge, adapting the lessons from Windu, Depa, and Kanan and using them/potentially teaching them if he ever gets his own padawan.
Y’all don’t understand how important this discovery is cause Thrawn knew Anakin Skywalker before he became Darth Vader.
He was left with the impression of how greatly the Jedi’s abilities were, using that to his knowledge to also mention Anakin Skywalker in front of The Emperor upon his capture and pledge allegiance to the Empire.
Panels from the Comics when Thrawn mentions Anakin Skywalker:
Also, Thrawn was the only one to uncover the true identity of Darth Vader, mocking him over the fact his people had a nickname of “Skywalker” for force sensitive navigators who were young girls of his kind. This encounter’s mention during their mission was random.
Also, Darth Vader was known to kill anyone who dared referenced or mentioned his past self to him, so lemme just say make it sink in that Thrawn dodged yet another bullet to the head that one time.
It’s the version of Ahsoka in TCW that we knew. She was badass and deadly.
But now we see that she’s also a kid. She was trained to be a child soldier. This is her after years of fighting and learning how to handle herself in a battlefield.
Can we already start talking about how Maul got his ass dragged by a 5 foot nothing togruta equivalent of a baby itty bitty lion cub because boooooy the cartoon did not do a great job of showing just how young she really was lmao, the live action really puts things in perspective
"Oh, you have Kenobi's arrogance."
"You'll find I have many qualities for you to dislike."
