No, I never hated them. They hated me. They laughed at me. They left me. They harassed me. They attacked me. You want me to beg for my life? I don't have it in me. I won't. I will not offer myself up. They can make their decision. But they're not deciding anything about me. It's them. They're judging themselves.

There is another young actor playing Ahsoka (MSW). Very questioable sources (Nerdgasm) said she's played by Savannah Steyn.
Hayden Christensen (THR).
Darth Vader team (MSW, Bespin Bulletin), voiced by James Earl Jones AI. Fully suited Darth Vader will exclusively be played by Tom O’Connel. Tom O’Connel is being fitted for a new Darth Vader suit (different than the one used for Obi-Wan Kenobi last year). MSW
Ezra played by Eman Esfandi (Jordan Maison, THR). There were false reports of him being Mena Massoud.
"Riz" codename (The Illuminerdi) - a man in his 20s, described as a bit of a lone wolf, world-wise despite his young age and able to handle anything life throws his way. This character is listed as a series regular with options. [Most likely Ezra]
Sabine played by Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Deadline). There were false reports about frontrunners.
Hera (MSW), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (THR), Hera played by MEW (Bespin Bulletin)
Ivanna Sakhno (Deadline) plays Shin. According to The Illuminerdi, the character is codenamed “Astrid”, and is described as striking and ferocious. A formidable mercenary who must now decide between two paths. Astrid can either follow the path of her unit or take hold of her own aspiration in service of her own glory.
Ray Stevenson plays Baylan, previously thought as "Admiral" (THR). Loyal to Thrawn. He has a droid and an assassin by his side. Has a lot of screentime. (MSW)
Thrawn played by Lars Mikkelsen (guesses, KRT, Christopher Marc, MSW). There were contradicting reports by Jordan Maison.
Commander Rex (Christopher Marc) played by Temuera Morrison (BSL)
Captain Enoch (MSW) played by Wes Chatham (Deadline), Thrawn's bodyguard [Note: the article doesn't say he's Enoch, but it's hidden in the metadata of the article, viewable in view page source]
A new cyborg/droid character named Carnast who serves Thrawn and Baylan. Might be a Dark Trooper. (MSW)
Morgan Elsbeth (MSW)
Unknown character played by Matthew Law (DanielRPK)
Unknown character played by Shakira Barrera (DanielRPK, Jordan Maison, Charles Murphy)
David Tennant is back (reddit user PlayThenPause) as Hyuang
Mon Mothma (MSW)
Jacen Syndulla, has black hair (Lego set)
Barriss Offee (The illuminerdi). Most likely wrong and mixed with the "Barriss" codename which was actually for Sabine.
Officially revealed minor characters
Senators - Senator Mawood (Maurice Irvin), Senator Rodrigo (Jacqueline Antaramian), Chancellor Mon Mothma (Genevieve O'Reilly), Senator Xiono (Nelson Lee) and Gran Senator (Erica Duke)
Mark Rolston plays Captain Hale - Source
Hawkins, first officer in the New Republic, played by Nican Robinson (Lego set)

Databank entries & officially released photos
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.
Shin Hati: The eager apprentice of Baylan Skoll, Shin Hati is adept at lightsaber combat, a skill she uses in their work as mercenaries allied to Morgan Elsbeth, the former Magistrate of Calodan.
[Note: The Illuminerdi said Ivanna plays "Astrid" - "A formidable mercenary who must now decide between two paths. Astrid can either follow the path of her unit or take hold of her own aspiration in service of her own glory". This implies Shin will have to decide between following Baylan or betraying him].
Baylan Skoll: Baylan Skoll is lightsaber-wielding mercenary for hire overseeing his apprentice Shin Hati. But make no mistake: although there was a time when Skoll knew the acclaimed Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Baylan is no Jedi. Now allied to Morgan Elsbeth, the former Magistrate of Calodan, after the fall of the Jedi and the Empire, Skoll remains a shrewd fighter in search of power who believes that another war is inevitable.
Magistrate Morgan Elsbeth: The coldhearted former Magistrate of Calodan, Morgan Elsbeth is an ally of Grand Admiral Thrawn and an enemy of the New Republic. A formidable fighter with a mysterious past, Elsbeth once hunted Ahsoka Tano on the world of Corvus before she was bested in battle and arrested for acting as an Imperial sympathizer.

Officially released concept art
Plot
Structure (MSW)
Ahsoka will have a midseason time-jump. The Rebels epilogue takes place in the middle of the season, and the season is like 2 different parts (four episodes each).
The first part of Ahsoka has New Republic centric-content which will feature Mothma. The first half of Ahsoka is a story about a failing New Republic, Ahsoka's warnings are ignored, and about Sabine.
The second part is finding Ezra and Thrawn. (MSW)
The "New Beyond" & Skeleton Crew
The Ahsoka show is gonna introduce concepts that are gonna be explored in Skeleton Crew. (MSW)
After Rebels, Thrawn and Ezra end up in a completely new and unexplored area of the universe, of which he calls ''The New Beyond” or “New Space'' until an official name is revealed. This region views and uses the Force differently, and magic users in the Star Wars universe we have seen before (like the nightsisters), originate from this place, and we have seen outcasts from there in past SW stories. (MSW)
Both Ivanna Sakhno and Diana Lee Inosanto's (Morgan Elsbeth) characters have a connection to this place. (MSW)
Skeleton Crew kids end up in this unexplored part of space too. (MSW)
World Between Worlds, Vader battle & different Ahsokas
The World Between Worlds is in Ahsoka too. (MSW)
We will get glimpses of Tano in other times and eras via The World Between Worlds. There is a version of Ahsoka in her late teens, one for another undisclosed time (might be present day Ahsoka in terms of the narrative itself), and finally for the version we saw in the final moment of Rebels in her white robes. (MSW)
Ahsoka will fight “Darth Vader” (Vader being dark side Anakin, not necessarily in the Vader suit) in more than one way and Hayden Christensen required some training for a sequence in the series because we will see his face again on screen, wearing the same costume he wore on Mustafar in Revenge of the Sith. (MSW)
We will see many possible outcomes for Ahsoka’s life and how in essence, no matter what, they all lead to a particular moment in her story. If Ahsoka had returned to the Jedi Order, she would be the one fighting Darth Vader on Mustafar having the high ground, not Obi-Wan Kenobi, because what happened had to happen, to get Tano to where she and the Skywalkers needed to be. Hayden Christensen filmed fight scenes with Clone Wars Ahsoka in this scenario. (MSW)
Through the World Between Worlds, it seems present day Ahsoka will learn that Anakin Skywalker was destined to take the path he did and we the audience will see aspects of those outcomes and in some of them we see live action Clone Wars era Ahsoka Tano played by a new actor in a duel with her former Jedi Master, taking the place of Obi-Wan Kenobi in this reality that never was. To be clear, these are glimpses or small sequences and Dawson will play Ahsoka during the majority of the story. (MSW)
Ahsoka will also see other visions in these sequences. Had Ahsoka killed Thrawn and Ezra Bridger did not need to use the Purrgil, Ahsoka’s destiny remained the same. The lesson for Tano appears to be that she cannot change her destiny and instead she must embrace it. (MSW)
There was an Obi-Wan corpse made. (MSW)
Ezra & Sabine
Ezra and Sabine have action scenes together (MSW).
MSW heard about a sequence in Ahsoka where Ezra uses the Force in a way compared to Luke Skywalker shattering the Beehive Hut on Ahch-To when he catches Rey talking with Kylo. However, the difference is one source saying and others confirming Ezra “hadoukens” with the Force. (MSW)
Sabine Wren uses Ezra's lightsaber. There are sequences with Sabine using the lightsaber with Ezra Bridger. It is not clear if Ezra gets another laser sword at some point or just finally takes his lightsaber back from her but she’s usually using it. (MSW)
Ezra developed his own martial arts based Force powers, not unlike Teras Kasi, but his own style. This martial arts style coupled with his connection to animals makes him an interesting take on a Force user on screen as he uses his hands, feet, the Force and nature to beat up undead Stormtroopers. (MSW)
Most of the scenes: Ezra doing Force Karate while Sabine swings the lightsaber around (MSW)
This series has more lightsaber fighting than probably anything we have seen on Disney+ (MSW)
We will have sequences where Baylon, Shin, have red sabers, Morgan Elsbeth and the witches standing off against Ahsoka with her two white lightsabers, Sabine with the green saber, and Ezra doing Force karate. (MSW)
Sabine will duel Shin with her red rapier laser sword while Ashoka Tano will fight Baylon’s red claymore lightsaber. The duel happens concurrently while Ezra fights Stromtroopers with his force Karate in the Nodian Highlands.
Thrawn and his minions
Will have an army “resurrected by dark side shadow magicks.” (MSW)
Zabrak troopers in white and burgundy uniforms (Christopher Marc)
Thrawn’s command ship, Chimera, is in the series. (MSW)
A survivor of Order 66, a Jedi named Babylon, fled to this unknown region of the galaxy for safety. Sources think Babylon wanted to maintain the Jedi way but was corrupted over time, maybe from the influence of life with the Nightsisters. (MSW)
"Nightsister" Morgan Elsbeth has a plan that the New Republic cannot respond to. "Nightsister" Morgan Elsbeh is searching for Thrawn, like Sabine and Ahsoka for Ezra. (MSW)
Elsbeth was extracting resources from the planet to build a ship capable of bringing Grand Admiral Thrawn back to the core worlds (ship or TIE fighters - some project to bring back Thrawn)
Baylon and Shin are in the core worlds initially and allied with Elsbeth. They are in both parts of the series. Baylon is dedicated to the mission to extract Thrawn and bring him home.
Thrawn has a new bodyguard named Enoch - MSW says looks like a "golden Destro from G.I. Joe with Samurai influences". They also have a new cyborg/droid character named Carnast.
Ahsoka and Sabine follow the Nightsister and her allies to Thrawn
A large fight will take place in a location that could be called "The Nodian Highlands." (MSW)
Kintsugi (MSW)
*In Episode IX, Kylo Ren visits an ape named Albrekh who fixes his armor (also an old MSW scroop). The mask is repaired using “Sarrassian iron.” The red iron is used to weld the red cracks of his armor together giving it that red veiny aesthetic.
*Ahsoka will riff on this aesthetic. Most of the Stormtroopers have been destroyed, their armor obliterated, much like Kylo’s helmet. However, instead of the red veins running through the rebuilt armor, these troopers have what has been described as “golden cracks” or “yellow veins” running through their exterior.
*The visual used in Episode IX is based on Kintsugi, a Japanese art which translates to “golden joinery.” Broken valuables use gold or silver to mend and join the broken pieces of antique or art. The process sees the breaks as part of the history of the object.
*MSW doubts it's “Sarrassian” as these troopers were “reforged” by The Nightsisters. MSW says: "In The Clone Wars, the Nightsisters of Dathomir had a green magic, but these are different Nightsisters from a new place and perhaps their magic is golden instead of green to match the Kintsugi look?"
*These troopers will be on the hunt, serving Thrawn, under the command of Baylon, but led into battle by the red sabered user named Shin. They will be tracking the reunited Ezra, Sabine, and Ahsoka.
*When the trio is finally reunited, they will face off against this new take on the Imperial Stormtrooper.
*Visually it will be a new evil Force user (Shin), red saber ignited and an armor with a battalion of reforged Stormtroopers with golden veins through their armor. Ahsoka, Sabine, and Ezra fleeing from them before being forced to fight.
The ending (MSW)
Ahsoka is basically The Empire Strikes Back of the “Mando Era”. The good guys fail in the end.
Ahsoka and Sabine inherit a secondary mission to stop Grand Admiral Thrawn and his cronies from returning to the core of the galaxy.
Thrawn returns to the main galaxy at the climax of the 8th and final episode of the season, with his forces all laid out before him. Thrawn revels in the moment, promising a reckoning is coming and ready to take on a faltering New Republic and take back the galaxy.
Most likely, the allies who sprung him from the far reaches of space have been a part of a power play he has had cooking for years.
The general consensus from those working on the show is that Ahsoka will have multiple seasons.
The story/cliffhanger will likely pick up in the second season of the series.
Looking at the grand scheme of things and the information MSW has been given, it’s likely that this attack/war is what will really allow the first order to rise.
Misc
Temple Ruins set photos (Bespin Bulletin)
MSW said that a woman seemed to want to be let in to what in the photo. He thinks the woman might have been Ahsoka, but he's not sure.
Ahsoka with white cloak will ride a loth-wolf (horse) nicknamed DOOM (MSW)
Ahsoka episode 1 is 54 minutes and 21 seconds long (credits at 51:06). Episode 2 is 42 minutes and 15 seconds long (credits at 38:33) (Cryptic HD)

- Military ranks used in Star Trek are all based upon actual military ranks. Starfleet ranks are those of the US Navy: Ensign, Lieutenant Junior Grade, Lieutenant, Lieutenant Commander, Commander, Captain, Commodore, Rear Admiral, Vice Admiral, and Admiral. Bajoran ranks are the same as those used in the U.S. Army, Air Force, and Marines: Lieutenant, Major, Lieutenant Colonel (or, as the Bajorans call it, "Field Colonel"), Colonel, and General. (Kira, after her promotion, was referred to simply as "Colonel", but she was promoted two steps in rank at once.) Klingon ranks are "bekk" (an enlisted rating), Ensign, Lieutenant, Commander, Captain, Colonel, Brigadier, General, and Admiral. Cardassian ranks are based on those of the ancient Roman Empire: Gil (equivalent to a Starfleet/U.S. Naval Lieutenant), Glinn (Commander), Gul (Captain), and Legate (Admiral).
- The Maquis was the name of the French resistance fighters during World War II.
- Lit Star Trek model kit parts can be seen as medical instruments throughout the series. In one episode, Dr. Bashir uses a part that makes up a Romulan Warbird engine nacelle to scan or heal.
- As he had on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), Q was intended to make semi-regular appearances on this show, but appeared only in season one, episode seven, "Q-Less". Q instead would come to continue his appearances on Star Trek: Voyager (1995). In addition, producers announced Whoopi Goldberg would reprise her role as Guinan in a guest appearance or two, and intended to have Leonard Nimoy appear as Spock, but the plans never materialized. Some other recurring characters from The Next Generation would wind up making appearances on this show, however, including Vash (Jennifer Hetrick), Lwaxana Troi (Majel Barrett), Gowron (Robert O'Reilly), Worf's brother Kurn (Tony Todd) and the Duras Sisters (Barbara March and Gwynyth Walsh).
- The design of Ops incorporates ideas that were considered, but dropped for The Bridge on Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), such as the upper level office, the briefing table in the center of the room, and the transporter being built into the set.
- Quark and Odo were intended to be the 'Bones and Spock' of Deep Space Nine, the two crew members who were always at odds with each other. However, because Armin Shimerman and Rene Auberjonois spent so many hours together in make-up, they became such good friends that Shimerman felt that their fondness for each other seeped through in the later seasons, despite their best efforts.
- The uniforms initially worn on this show were designed to look different from those worn on its parent show, Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987), with a colored shoulder and a gray undershirt. Beginning with the movie Star Trek: Generations (1994), however, these new uniforms were adopted by Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987) crew, and Starfleet as a whole. This change was made when a new style of uniform designed for Star Trek: Generations (1994) was rejected. From the mid fifth season of this show and Star Trek: First Contact (1996) another type of uniform was issued by Starfleet (now with gray shoulders and colored undershirt), while Star Trek: Voyager (1995) (having no way of knowing about the change) retained the earlier version, distinguishing the two series from each other again. It is also worth mentioning that the DS9-style uniforms are very similar to the ones worn by Starfleet cadets in The Next Generation, most notably in season five, episode nineteen, "The First Duty".
- The square glasses used in Quark's bar are actually candle holders turned upside down.
- The character that eventually became Vic Fontaine was written for Frank Sinatra Jr. in season four. Sinatra, despite being a fan of the show, turned it down, declaring that he only wanted to play an alien. After meeting with Robert Goulet, and attempting to get Steve Lawrence, Tom Jones, and Jerry Vale, the producers eventually considered James Darren for season six, and invited him to audition. However, Darren wasn't interested in a singing role, so he didn't read the script sent to him. On the day of auditions, producer Ira Steven Behr was discussing Darren with a few crew members, sharing his doubts whether Darren would actually show up. One of those crew members happened to be Christian Darren, James' son, who told Behr that his father was actually coming over that afternoon: James' wife had convinced him to at least go to the audition. Darren eventually accepted the role, and appeared in eight episodes.
- Buck Bokai's baseball card, a collectable featured on Benjamin Sisko's desk, had Keone Young on the front, in character, but showed "Trek" model maker Gregory Jein, who invented the "history" of the character, on the back. The pair bore an uncanny resemblance to each other.
Sexuality Headcanon: literally no one at mash 4077 is straight and radar is no exception (i am of the firm belief that hawkeye was his queer awakening)
Gender Headcanon: male
A ship I have with said character: i thought he and patty (8.04) were really sweet together! i hope they find each other again stateside 🥰 and i also really liked him and linda nugent in 7.20.
A BROTP I have with said character: i love his relationships with henry, hawkeye, and klinger in particular.
A NOTP I have with said character: i don't really ship him with anyone other than linda and patty, but the idea of romantic henry/radar or potter/radar really squicks me out.
A random headcanon: i heard radar was going to get his own spinoff at some point where he's a divorced police officer, to which i say Nope, that boy stayed in iowa, got married, and had a big family with lots of kids (the first of which was a boy who he named henry).
General Opinion over said character: a sweetheart whom i love and had some of the funniest lines on the show. i think about 'we don't use straws in combat, fella' every day of my life.
Cyclone Simpson
Sexuality Headcanon: cyclone 'iceman happens to be a man i deeply admire' simpson is gay and that's final
Gender Headcanon: male
A ship I have with said character: started out as a crack ship but i genuinely like the idea of cyclone/admiral cain (they bond over wanting that twink [mav] obliterated)
A BROTP I have with said character: cyclone&warlock
A NOTP I have with said character: truthfully i'm not a huge fan of cyclone/warlock, nor am i a fan of cyclone/mav. he absolutely wants that twink obliterated but Not Like That
A random headcanon: cyclone is one of the youngest pilots to ever be top gun (this headcanon brought to you by me standing in front of a board pepe silvia style trying to figure out how in the world cyclone could have been top gun in '88 if jon hamm is almost a decade younger than tom cruise)
General Opinion over said character: not one of my favorite characters, but i am as ever a fan of jon hamm's lovely face

are we going to find out why viper keeps telling tom that admiral Benjamin isn’t the only one with friends in high places? he’s mentioned it a few times now and curious about what he means by that.
Chapter 17 already explained some of it. Three now-Admirals (Jacks, who is a 2-star and the Airboss; O'Reilly, who is a 4-star and COMPACFLT; and Edwards, who is a 3-star) were saved by Duke Mitchell during the Vietnam war and have taken an indirect interest in his kid and what he does. They were lowly Lieutenants back then but you don't just forget a guy straight up dying to save your life no matter how Classified they mark the documents.
It's my way of rationalizing how Pete manages to stay in the Navy as long as he does before Ice is high ranking enough to protect him. If there are a bunch of Admirals telling everyone to calm down and get over it, Pete gets to keep on flying, and those men get to pay back a debt, at least the way they see it.
Okay, not going to lie. I've wanted to do something like this for a while. This will be based on each team's 2022-2023 roster. (Maybe we do this every year after the trade deadline?)

Boston Bruins - Jeremy Swayman
Buffalo Sabres - Alex Tuch

Detroit Red Wings - Andrew Copp
Edmonton Oilers - Leon Draisaitl
Florida Panthers - Matthew Tkachuk

Alright, I could use a sounding board (here and on the discord) cause I think trying to tackle the name hijinks code all alone with only basic help from the twine discord was... a mistake. (bite off more than you can chew... and then chew it >>)
So, below are all the possible combos for names (Mc, Charlie, Others and Horse) I can think off. Did I forget anything? Is something doubled when it shouldn't be? Also spoilers for which names net you special text
MC can share the following names with NPCs:
For Charlie:
Charlie, Charley, Charly, Charles, Charli, Charlee, Charleigh as First or Nickname, First Name not in Combo with Mulligan or Mullygan. E.G. 'Charly Mullygan' is not possible, but 'Charlotte 'Charly' Mulligan' is.
Mulligan or Mullygan for Nickname or Last Name. Restrictions similar to the above, also not as First Name.
TO DO: Charlie, Charley, Charly, Charles, Charli, Charlee, Charleigh as Last Name, Restrictions pending.
Others:
First name and Nickname can be identical/similar to NPC names, but not in combo with Last Names.
My blog has been pretty much exclusively used to interact with and occasionally create Stranger Things content, but one fandom I am even more obsessed with is The Legend of Zelda. With news of an upcoming Zelda live action film coming out, I’ve become a bit hyper focused on the Zeldaverse lately. While many fans are anxious about the film, particularly it being live action, I’m extremely optimistic about it. We have the filmmaking technology to bring fantastical worlds to life in live action film and with the amount of resources Nintendo is pouring into this project one thing is certain: it’s going to be a sensory spectacle rivaling anything else we have ever seen on screen.
There is one thing I am nervous about however: casting. Particularly of Link. He’s got to be one of the hardest characters to cast in all of fiction, and getting him wrong will ruin the movie for a lot of fans. I’ve been wracking my brain for an ideal pick, and it hasn’t been easy. The three options I have seen suggested the most are Tom Holland, Timmothy Chalamet, and Thomas Brodie-Sangster. While I wouldn’t be angry with any of these choices, there a few glaring problems:
1. They’re too old. Link has always, in every piece of official Zelda media, been portrayed as a child or a teenager. Even “adult Link” is only about 17. The only exception is maybe Tears of the Kingdom, where he is, at oldest, in his early 20’s (not counting his 100 year ageless nap in the resurrection chamber), and even there he looks rather young to be in his 20’s. By contrast, Holland is 27, Chalamet is 28, and Brodie-Sangster is 33. Each would have been ideal - 10 or 15 years ago.
2. They’re too established. With the exception of maybe Brodie-Sangster. If Holland or Chalamet played Link I simply wouldn’t see Link. I’d see Tom Holland or Timmothy Chalamet. It’s not their fault that they’re such tremendous talents that they’ve been cast in so many huge career defining roles, but their huge celebrity status would break the cinematic illusion for me.
I think Nintendo would agree, and I know they are taking utmost care with this IP, so I doubt we’re going to see the Chris-Prattization of the Zelda cast. So who do I think they should pick? The first person to come to mind for me is Walker Scobell, of Disney’s Percy Jackson reboot fame. In so many ways he’s just perfect. He’s young. He’s beautiful. He has a very expressive face, capable of conveying Link’s personality with relatively few words (and I do hope they maintain Link’s canonical strong-silent-type demeanor). He fits into the fantasy genre naturally and is capable of the athleticism would will be needed to play Link. The only problem is that he is… Percy Jackson. The starring role in one of the most popular young adult fandoms ever. Could his role as Percy Jackson have the same distracting effect as casting a Holland or Chalamet would have? Does Scobell even have the time for a project as big as The Legend of Zelda will inevitably be?
I’ve heard other great child actors names by fans who would fit the role well, namely Julian Crauser, Thomas Kuc, Mason Thames, and Kiefer o'Reilly (thank you Brian Seeker on YouTube for pointing out these tremendously talented young men), but I haven’t heard anyone mention my personal choice for the role. That’s probably because few people have ever heard of him. My number one pick for Link would be… drum roll please…
Henry Lawfull.
Henry Lawfull is a 17 year old actor who stares in the Netflix original holiday-fantasy film A Boy Called Christmas. If you haven’t seen it, it’s absolutely worth a watch.
He’s a great actor, he’s the right age, he’s a relatively unknown name in the industry, and most importantly, he just kind of looks like Link -
To drive the point home further, I asked Bing AI to imagine what Henry Lawfull would look like as Link, and that absolutely sold it for me:
Tell me what you think. Is this kid perfect for the role or do you just not see it? In any case, I hope this kid has a thriving career ♥️
