Ahsoka Stirs Up Some ‘Toil And Trouble’ With Its Intriguing New Villains – /Film

Corellia plays a major part in this episode, and it’s worth noting that this is the first time we’ve seen Corellia in live-action since 2018’s “Solo: A Star Wars Story.” This is the planet where Han Solo came from and was trying to escape back to in order to save his friend and love interest, Qi’ra.

One throwaway detail that Baylon Skoll mentions early in the episode is that they have found the “Reflex Point.” It’s not a term we’ve heard in “Star Wars” before, but it’s an important term in “Robotech,” a universe that Dave Filoni has professed to being a huge fan of. In that series, Reflex Point was the codename given to the secret hive of the Invid Queen Regess and the ultimate destination for the heroes. The reference certainly adds another layer to how we’re meant to feel about Thrawn if we know it.

It’s also worth nothing that when Elsbeth activates the map on Seatos in the Denab sector, green fire accompanies the magic that she conjures. This is a sign that she is definitely descended from the Witches of Dathomir, as that is the visual hallmark of that order’s use of the Force.

The other big thing to note is Marrok, who appears to be a former Inquisitor. The Inquisitorius is dead along with the Empire, but he seems to have thrown his lot in with Baylan Skoll, adding another dimension of intrigue and wonder around Skoll’s character. Who is he that he could command the loyalty of a Sith Inquisitor?

Alongside Marrok and Shin Hati, Elsbeth has given them access to HK-series assassin droids. These droids really became popular with their introduction in the “Knights of the Old Republic” series and this is their first time showing up in live-action. They’ve made some brief appearances in the current canon, though just in books.

This episode also marked return of Chopper, everyone’s favorite murderous astromech droid. If you’re a fan of “Star Wars Rebels,” you were just happy to see him.
