Star wars needs more cryptids
Just. More freaky shit, really. i want more POVs of normal people coming across Weird Shit. We see it a little bit in the mandalorian when Luke wrecks shit on Gideon's ship and you can see how intimidated everyone is by it. We see it a bit with the zombie troopers in Ahsoka, or the zombie nightsisters in the clone wars. We see it with the way Vader just destroys people whenever he decides they're in his way. the clone wars show had an episode where an entire planet believed in angels and it turned out they existed but they were just another species of alien
Star wars give me more creepy shit

Ahsoka Episode 8 “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord”: The Story, the Symbolism, and the Score Part Three
If you missed Part One of this analysis, it can be found here:
Part Two can be found here:
Morgan reports to Thrawn, who requires more time.
“For the Empire,” Thrawn says.
Morgan, realizing what she must do and why, responds with emotion, “For Dathomir.”
Suspenseful music plays as Morgan confronts Ahsoka, who in turn, tells Sabine and Ezra to stop Thrawn.
Ahsoka’s intense duel with Morgan begins. Sabine and Ezra are confronted by a pair of death troopers.
Thrawn and the Nightmothers enter the bridge of the Eye of Sion. The engines fire up as Ahsoka duels Morgan.
In a scene that reminded me of Eowyn versus the Nazgûl king in The Lord of the Rings, Sabine is nearly killed by a death trooper who lifts her by the throat and tries to choke her.

Sabine uses the Force to pull her lightsaber to her. She activates the blade and it pierces the head of the head of the death trooper, just as Eowyn struck the head of the Witch King with her blade to defeat him.

The music for this scene transitions from brief quotations of John Williams’ Force theme, to Sabine’s theme and then to Ezra’s theme as she saves herself, defends Ezra from his attacker, and Ezra, once grasping his lightsaber, decapitates his dark adversary. Sabine leaves her fallen helmet as she and Ezra race towards the Chimaera.
The duel between Morgan and Ahsoka continues. Undead stormtroopers arrive to assist Morgan, leaving Ahsoka outnumbered and nearly overwhelmed.
Ezra and Sabine plan to use the Force to help each other leap aboard the departing star destroyer. Ezra will leap first with Sabine using the Force to push him the rest of the way across in a callback to how Kanan and Ezra performed this same feat in Rebels. The Force theme plays triumphantly as Ezra leaps and Sabine pushes him up to the docking bay of the Chimaera.
When Ezra makes it onboard he yells, “Come on! Your turn.” But Sabine sees that Ahsoka is overwhelmed at the henge. “Sabine, there’s no time. Come on!” Ezra yells to her as the ship moves farther away. “Sabine!”
Ahsoka’s duel with Morgan continues as the ship moves away from the tower and henge.
Morgan says, “Your friends are dead, and you will die here. Alone.”
“Not alone,” Sabine announces as she ignites her lightsaber. With saber and blaster in hand, Sabine begins taking out the troopers.
“Kill her!” screams Morgan. Ahsoka kills Morgan in the duel.
On the bridge of the Eye of Sion the Nightmothers sense that Morgan is dead.
Ezra watches the battle at the henge from the Chimaera’s docking bay. He turns away from it to answer a call from a fallen stormtrooper’s comlink, impersonating trooper 757 and stealing his armor to use as a disguise.
Sabine reclaims her Mandalorian helmet when she and Ahsoka depart from the henge.
Drumming and intense music can be heard when Thrawn orders the bombardment of the fortress. Once again, like the terrifying mythological creature that is its namesake, the Chimaera rains hellfire upon its target, reminiscent of the orbital bombardment of Lothal’s capitol in the series finale of Rebels.
Sabine and Ahsoka run from the blaster fire of the undead stormtroopers, leaping from the tower to Ahsoka’s ship, which Huyang has piloted into position to rescue them. They use their lightsabers to deflect blaster bolts from on top of the shuttle until the tower and henge collapse from the departing star destroyer’s laser blasts.
Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang soar away from the destruction in pursuit of the Chimaera.
Listen for the rapidly descending and ascending chromatic motif played by the trumpet section as Ahsoka’s ship rises from Peridea to chase the Chimaera. (This is around 0:18 from the beginning of “A Ronin” on Part 2 of the Ahsoka soundtrack album.) This chromatic motif was used on the Return of the Jedi soundtrack when X-Wing and B-Wing fighters dove across the screen in a scene showing the ships of the Rebel Alliance’s fleet.
Thrawn contacts the shuttle as they attempt to catch up with him. He taunts Ahsoka with his victory and his understanding that Ahsoka is more like Anakin than she realizes. He says that perhaps this place (Peridea) is where a Robin like her belongs. “Long live the Empire,” Thrawn proclaims as the Eye of Sion and the Chimaera make the jump to hyperspace, leaving Ahsoka’s ship behind.
To be continued…
Please reblog and share your thoughts on my analysis. I am looking forward to what you have to say about it.
