Corrupted by the Dark side...

I love it in a sick way

and by thrawn.....

One fine evening prior to teh Ahsoka seriez:​

...Morgan Elsbeth, Witch of Dathomir... conjures Maul'z spirit...

...but Maul'z spirit can only stay local, as it is bound to Dathomir...

...however, she has lured inquisitor Marrok to "assist" in teh conjuring ceremony, who is terrified yet honored when he realizez his real purpose for attendance... waz to become possessed by Lord Maul'z spirit.

A precedent established when teh spirit of Momin... in a canon comic... could possess another living being in order to interact physically & fight!

Filoni wouldn't dare!!! lol...

Spoiler

...or would he?

Teh Mask of Maul
​

Spoiler

How poetic would it be if Ahsoka cuts him in half & the 2 halvez are drawn back together by a green mist. Maul/Marrok wagz his finger back n forth as if to say, "Oh no... not this time".

Spoiler

Teh canon StarWars.com data bank ...for "Marrok"

"Marrok (Inquisitor)
Once an Inquisitor hunting Jedi for the Empire, the mysterious Marrok now works as a mercenary hired by Morgan Elsbeth to carry out dark deeds. Fully encased in battered battle armor, the warrior still carries a red double-bladed saber with a circular hilt."

This confirmz that Marrok had been active while Maul was still alive. It could still be Maul though... through possession n stuff...

Spoiler

That said, it could also be anyone under that armor... including teh inquisitorious him/herself.

Cool idea but I feel like Maul's story has run its course and they can't milk it any more. But I like the concept and Mother Talzin was one of the best characters that never made it to live action. The Dathomir nightsisters and nightbrothers (including Ventress and Maul) was the other badass culture (besides Mandalorians) that can give jedi and sith a run for their money.

Haven't been impressed with Morgan Elsbeth so far but if she's the token nightsister, they need to have her do some badass shit. Maybe conjure Savage Oppress back, cast some dark magick or some other shit with her man Thrawn. But so far, she's kind of a can without her beskar spear, which allowed her to go toe to toe with Ahsoka. And speaking of that, in hindsight the beskar spear was the GOAT hand to hand weapon, even better than a lightsaber. It could contest a lightsaber but also penetrate beskar armor. Can't believe greedy Armorer melted it down so Mando could briefly suck at using the darksaber and Grogu could have a beskar jockstrap.

Ezra Bridger inside the Marrok armor because he graduated from stealing helmets to stealing bad guy suits of armor?

Makes no sense at all.

Of course it does. He's a rascal. He could be playing the long game. It's only 3 episodes in. It could be a wink to the past main characters using disguises.

So he found a way back from the other galaxy with Thrawn, just to become Marrok? Come on

 

[ferrisjso]

He already killed Kanan. Isn't that enough for your insatiable taste for bloodlust?

Did Thrawn kill Kanan? I seem to remember some Imperial blowing up something to kill Kanan against orders? My memory is fuzzy.

I only watched a few Rebels episodes but that was one of them. Thrawn captured Hera, and Kanan came to rescue her. Then Kanan and Hera were waiting for the ship on a fuel tower when evil Lothal governor chick (who worked for Thrawn) ordered her gunner to blow up the tower. Ezra and Sabine are trying to pick them up and Kanan does a Hodor "hold the door" to contain the blast while force pushing Hera onto the ship. Then she, Ezra and Sabine escape while Kanan's shit gets flambeaued.

So much like OJ, while Thrawn wasn't technically guilty of killing Kanan, he would have been found responsible in a civil trial since evil governor chick worked for him (and also because he did it).

Well said, and I feel teh same way aboot wishing their culture would expand in cannon... despite the fact that they have explored their culture a decent amount to date in other media. It would be good for them to show it in live action.

I feel there'z something special about what they do... because they don't have teh expanded midichlorian count that allowz teh Jedi to do what they do inherently.

Teh Nightsisterz had to develop their power from what little sensitivity they had.

It's obviously "force related" although they don't have teh force like Jedi & Sith do... much like Sabine who is now being trained to awaken whatever sensitivity she does have.

Teh Nightsisterz made teh best of what they had & so created their witchcraft... in different wayz... while utilizing teh energy of teh planet Dathomir as an additional power source.

The energy of Dathomir is important... as there'z thingz they can do on-planet... but can't do off-planet. Like teh Nightsisterz healing Maul using spirits that are also now imprisoned & stuck on Dathomir... but willing to help... & likely agreed to stay in the afterlife.

It seemz teh Nightsisters make a vow to remain tied to Dathomir & serve teh Nightsisterz even after death. A service that Maul is mortally appreciative of...

...whether he sendz Christmas cardz or not.


There's a "specialness" that comez from the ability to use witchcraft... but it's not as special as having Jedi &/or Sith powerz... which could be said to be a higher level of witchcraft.

If this seemz all too much... about teh Nightsisterz... I'd point out again that a Nightsister is at teh helm of this series which is bringing back Thrawn... & so it's pretty important.

Nightsisterz Bless.

But so far, she's kind of a can without her beskar spear, which allowed her to go toe to toe with Ahsoka.

Same ...but my feelingz tell me that we will be amazed by her abilities at some point.

They've certainly explained teh "influence" she has. As she'z teh Admiral of teh fooking never before seen "extra-galactial transport system" that is bigger than anything anything anyone has seen.

They're doing a slow introduction for her atm, but I'd expect she will display some sik power at some point after they've built her & her kin up so long across multiple series & now she'z teh star baddie at the start of this one.

And speaking of that, in hindsight the beskar spear was the GOAT hand to hand weapon, even better than a lightsaber. It could contest a lightsaber but also penetrate beskar armor. Can't believe greedy Armorer melted it down so Mando could briefly suck at using the darksaber and Grogu could have a beskar jockstrap.

"Can penetrate Beskar Armor" is the answer to your own question.

To your point... yes we "need" something that can retract a lightsaber... but if everyone'z carrying around spearz that can peirce beskar armor, then we have another very serious problem.

I present that to say that I get why Mando'z destroy all of those weapons.

 

[ChickenBrother]

Have to disagree here. I feel like nightsister witchcraft is potentially even more powerful than jedi or sith force powers. 1) because it's not widely understood and has been unexplored so far in live action and 2) it's an "alternate game," much like mandalorian armor and tech that can rival force users.

Palpatine realized this and that's why he corresponded with Mother Talzin. He wanted to round out his game and be like Chuck Norris earning a BJJ black belt after KTFOing everyone else on the feet. I feel like showing more nightsister stuff would also be a great segue into the planet Mortis arc from Clone Wars and all the ancient origins of the force stuff that's been teased over the years.

If this seemz all too much... about teh Nightsisterz... I'd point out again that a Nightsister is at teh helm of this series which is bringing back Thrawn... & so it's pretty important.

Nightsisterz Bless.

I guess we'll see where they go with her. But she's already been besmirched once by Ahsoka in Mando S2, and that was when she had her OP beskar spear. She's not yet beyond saving but I hope they don't make the mistake they did with Moff Gideon. You can't be soundly defeated and humiliated 3 fucking times before viewers stop taking you seriously as a big bad, the second time being literally bitch slapped and rendered unconscious by random cans.

I get why they did this, but the beskar spear was a one-of-a-kind OP weapon. It's not like these things came free in a cereal box. They could have made it a special weapon within Mando culture so the bearer gets some privileges like a free entree at Applebees on Tues or something.

 

[Cool Hand Luke]

oh boy. here we go

 

[Myrddin Wild]

What if it was

Spoiler

Ezra Bridger inside the Marrok armor because he graduated from stealing helmets to stealing bad guy suits of armor?

Great point... as Ezra could easily be a double agent now... who is using teh guise of Merrik. It could be Ezra in disguise for "end game" reasonz as well though.

That said, it could also be a "nightsisteh'z possession."

Teh Inquisor Merrik waz already established by teh past... as a Jedi Hunter... so Merrick himself is known... but to your point... anyone could be wearing that armor.

Conversely... maybe Merrick made a turn... in his understanding. That's a possibility that Merrik could be himself teh antagonist... recognizing that he needed to switch sidez. We need a lot of real data to decipher this... as he's a new "force user" in teh story.

That said, we gotta understand that we don't know wtf atm.

Makes no sense at all.

(topic being debated & continued in the next quote)

Spoiler

So he found a way back from the other galaxy with Thrawn, just to become Marrok? Come on

There may be plot points we're not privy of yet, that explain it... where Ezra & even Thrawn presenting themselvez as a double agent makes sense if you're going to infiltrate teh resistance. (whatever side you're on)

Double agents bless...

We're debating "Thrawn's alignment" with existing political structure... with this pov.

In every account of his motivation... Thrawn is "ONLY" concerned with how the "power of the galaxy" evolves... & he's trying to do that in the best mannor that is best for his people in teh long run. & teh most beloved of NON-canon novel series sayz that... Thrawn is teh head of making his people safe... at first. Perhaps that includes making himself grand admiral of teh society that he has dissed himself, in order to create a buffer.

Teh "Buffer" is not said in jest. It's literally the "MOTIVATION" that Grand Admiral Thrawn has embarked his whole journey upon.

Ezra = Snoke

You heard it here first

Snoke's already confirmed as a clone az a Sid clone.

Canon Snoke:
Snoke was an artificial genetic construct created on the planet Exegol by the Dark Lord of the Sith and Galactic Emperor Darth Sidious and his Sith Eternal cult during the reign of the Galactic Empire. After Sidious' resurrection, Snoke's body held no use in the Sith Lord's goal for restoration, so was instead utilized by Sidious for his natural Force-sensitivity as a proxy he could manipulate for his Contingency. Though Snoke possessed an independent mind, he was obliviously influenced by his creator from afar.

Do you have to respond to every fooking thing I say?

Drop our past my brother... it's killing you more than it's killing me.

Despite teh fact that you & I going head to head on pov through teh yearz... (I love you) I've developed an appreciation for your pov & see you as one of a handful... that actually talks real Star Wars.

Thank you for posting your opinion. ...however... we've seen teh 2 go head to head & teh NighSistah'z go down easily. That's not even in debate my brother.

In response to this post:

Teh abilitah... of people penetrating Mandalorian armor is the exception... not teh rool. That one weapon, (nor any other of its origination) would be signifigantly effective against a Jedi... but maybe it's effective against lesser force userz.

Thank You... & much love... my Star Warz "truth seeking" Brother haz displayed, but we've already seen teh nighsistah'z fall & even bow, to high end force users.

It's an outstanding tribute to their culture that they can even be talked about in their capacity compared to Jedi or Sith... but I'm going to need evidence of their superiority before I can get on-board with such a claim.

All bullshit aside... and current continuity verified... the witchez of Dathomir were powerful, but not as powerful as teh Jedi or full on Sith. Even their brethren Maul was "more powerful" as a full on force user.

Great discussion though...

I'm currious as to whether teh witchez could become more than what they are currently.

Point taken.. but an introductory is understandable... & a final conflict is different

 

[Myrddin Wild]

oh boy. here we go

Any way you can recognize that you're the problem here with comments like this?

This is obviously directed at me... so let me ask you what your problem with me, is.

 

[Myrddin Wild]

Did Thrawn kill Kanan? I seem to remember some Imperial blowing up something to kill Kanan against orders? My memory is fuzzy.

Thrawn gave teh order ultmately. It would not had been done otherwise.

However... if you doubt it, Imagine your hometown as teh subject. (spoiler: we're going to take teh entire planet with or without your particiapation, but it would be nice to do so with localz plowing teh gardenz n such.)

I only watched a few Rebels
