Yeah, the rumor is that it's storm trooper dog tags, but that strikes me as a terrible material to make armor out of.

The plus 50 crowd is all hot and bothered by Shin because it’s like they took an 80s SCAD chick - the type of chick who would attend a private, un accredited art school with an Ivy League price tag-
Who was an absolute sex blast-
And dropped her in the Star Wars universe.

There's no basis for storm trooper dog tags.  FWIW, that style of armor is called "lamellar" and used just about everywhere throughout history.

I’m debating between possibilities. Is she recently past the “youngling” basic training phase of her training and witches until now were more a theory than a real person. Or do her and her master still have more of a connection to the light side than we are thinking and witchs panics/revolts her?

As The Mother, she kept the peace between the Son and the Daughter   in effect, bringing balance to the Force. However, she was still mortal. So in an effort to transcend her human body, Abeloth drank from the spring known as the Font of Power while also bathing in the Pool of Knowledge. This had an unfortunate side effect: Abeloth became corrupted by the force and went mad. Due to going batshit crazy, she was confined to the Maw for hundreds of thousands of years as a form of imprisonment. Which further drove her insane. She was "evil" in the sense that she was crazy.


And then it was the son and daughter working together to keep her holed up.

With the collapse of Mortis that would leave Abeloth unchecked. With Ahsoka possessing the spirit of the daughter she may be the only one that can stop her.
Yup, and Centerpoint Station and the Correllian System was built specifically to create The Maw where Kessel is and all those blackholes were put there to trap her.

Shin reminds me of Vestara Khai from the original EU. A Sith Apprentice from the Lost Tribe of the Sith who was a sexy little number and banged Ben Skywalker (Luke's and Mara's son). She fought Abeloth.

Vestara was a bit naive in the ways of the greater galaxy because she was born and educated on the Lost Tribe's world, which was cut off from the Greater Galaxy for thousands of years.

Shin is young bro. That's why she's impulsive and has to be reigned in some by Baylan. Her impetuous nature is absolutely a liability but it's what also makes her a loose cannon and capable of almost anything.

This. She’s young and has no idea where her limits are. She reminds me of an olympic athlete who has been trained to a high level. Like Kerri Strug and Baylan is her Bela Korolyi. He constrains directs and focuses her.

I don't know what to think of Shin yet. But I loved Hera in Rebels, and it pains me to see that her entire acting range now consists of side-eyeing people like they have dongs growing out of their heads "but, uh, I just told you I'm a general. Why aren't you kissing my ass?"

As someone who hasn't seen either animated series, it seems to me the writers are really relying on those to establish weaker characters like Sabine and Hera. I don't think they intended for those characters to come off as weak, but they are. At least in my eyes, they are. I haven't seen any evidence whatsoever in this series to convince me that both Sabine and Hera are competent, experienced warriors. I'd hafta go back and watch the animations to know these details.

And TBH, I don't think Ahsoka could best Baylan; hell she'd probably have her hands full with Shin from what I've seen in this series thus far.

Completely agree, I recently watched all of clone wars and rebels.

I get that Sabine, Hera and Ahsoka are kinda sad and stuff, but they were all kick ass characters.  They just don't seem right to me.

One thing that does make more sense to me is that when Ahsoka fought Morgan in Mandalorian, it was tough fight.  I didn't realize she was a witch then.

There's both the strength and the weakness of Ashoka so far. The three central female characters aren't Mary Sues. They have legitimate character development. But the Rat may have screwed up by making this it's own series. Those three characters make far more sense when you think of Ashoka as Rebels S5. Which, if the Rat actually called it that, would completely turn off anybody who didn't watch the other animated series.

I'm holding my piece about Baylan's strength in relation to anybody else's. There's a lot going on that I don't completely understand, including whether the Temple Guards were strong Jedi who were on some kind of light duty due to injuries, or whether they were the part of the Jedi version of DMV clerks like the librarian. ("If it's not in the Archives, it doesn't exist" lol). Or how strong the Night sisters were with the Force compared with the Jedi/Sith, or was their witchcraft something completely unrelated, etc.

Worked for Frodo.

They’ve screwed up Sabine. Especially after showing that they can do it right with other badass live action mandalorians like Bo Katan.

Hera always had heart but she was a military leader. That needs to be shown to undo some of the new perceptions of her now

To be fair to Sabine, she's had it rough and it's easy to understand why her character would be how she is.

First she lost her people during The Purge, and when the war ended, she became a warrior without a war to fight.  As Thrawn recognized of Hera, all she'd ever known is war. Add to that, Kanan's death, Ezra's disappearance, and Zeb's leaving, It's easy to see how she'd feel lost and become detached.  The only family she truly knew was shattered.

I expect it's going to be the low spot for her character and they'll end up pulling her into Mando.  Hard not to, especially considering her history with the DarkSaber and being one of the few people skilled enough to wield it.

Honestly, that would be the better story path. She serves as a segue to bringing back Ezra, and by extension Thrawn. Ezra teams up with Ahsoka, Jacen becomes a padawan, and Sabine goes off to fight to reclaim Mandalore with Bo-Katan and Din.

It's such a bummer because she has the opportunity to either be a Mandalorian with Force skills OR a Jedi with a unique weapons package and the skills to handle them. And I'll just say it, I wish that was a male character. Because then we wouldn't get all the emotion; we'd just classic reasoning and accountability men possess. Imagine Mando with Jedi powers. Fuuuck.

But no, Sabine sucks and so does Hera. I said what I said and I ain't taking it back.

Who says she's skilled enough? I ain't seeing it. Maybe the original texts say that but the show just doesn't make the case. She's an emotional wreck and I wager that won't change regardless of Ezra being back in the picture.

The storyline from Rebels. This show may be title Ahsoka, but as others have pointed out, it's basically another season of Rebels.

What I'm saying is she's lost her way. It's a common trope in the Star Wars franchise.  A once badass warrior brought low.   Having found Ezra, and now having a war to fight she'll either die or be redeemed.

Regardless, the upcoming episode is likely a bunch of flashbacks that don't move the story along much. Thrawn foreshadowed this when he asked to know everything about Ahsoka.

Which caught my interest. In that line he wanted to know her master. In the new Thrawn books, which I think is part of the Mouse canon, he has a connection to Anakin Skywalker.

Filoni is great at coming up with interesting names, isn't he?

He was literally called “a street rat” in S1E1.

But no, Sabine sucks and so does Hera. I said what I said and I ain't taking it back.

Sabine is a huge disappointment. In all ways. I wish she wouldnt have been brought into the show.

Only good thing between the two of them is Hera's ass. Sabine doesnt have an single attractive feature (to me).

Yeah. She’s not up to speed in the history of things. I kinda like it though. She’s a student being tossed into the shit. Being a force wielder is more than swinging a laser sword.

I hope she is not just fodder for the good guys to kill. She needs to stick around.

As much as I hate that scene, it should have been Ackbar.

First she lost her people during The Purge, and when the war ended, she became a warrior without a war to fight.  As Thrawn recognized of Hera, all she'd ever known is war. Add to that, Kanan's death, Ezra's disappearance, and Zeb's leaving, It's easy to see how she'd feel lost and become detached.  The only family she truly knew was shattered.

I expect it's going to be the low spot for her character and they'll end up pulling her into Mando.  Hard not to, especially considering her history with the DarkSaber and being one of the few people skilled enough to wield it.

Honestly, that would be the better story path. She serves as a segue to bringing back Ezra, and by extension Thrawn. Ezra teams up with Ahsoka, Jacen becomes a padawan, and Sabine goes off to fight to reclaim Mandalore with Bo-Katan and Din.

Yeah for sure, her path should be with the mandalorians. Not the Jedi.

My theory is that Baylon has been preparing Shin to be the vessel for Abeloth who is "the Mother" to the Mortis Children.  

When he told her he didn't train her as a Jedi, he trained her to be something "more" I'm pretty sure that is what it is.  

We could get a pretty wild twist, it could be necessary for Thrawn to team up with the Republic to defeat Abeloth.

I doubt the show will get that deep into the lore. Most SW fans will get lost and go “wtf is this confusing shit!”
