The ring had 9 of the SSD cores installed. Significantly more powerful than a star destroyer.

Having only caught recaps of Rebels and Clone Wars do they explain how the WBW works? I know how it was used in Rebels because of the recap, but was there a greater explanation (episodes please)? Been pretty happy with this so far, whish it wasn't another Volume based show, as it could really benefit from some actual location set pieces (damn you Andor!). After the outrage last week over Hayden's de-aged look I thought it turned out really well after the initial look, especially liked the Anakin/Vader flash transitions. I assume they are already committed to at least another season, as I can't see them introduce Thrawn and Ezra and then wait for whatever theatrical release they said would tie Mando/Ahsoka series together.

I'm not sure live action will ever explain how WBW acts... or need to. For any casual viewers, what we saw in Ahsoka can just have been a near-death experience "dream sequence" and they're fine with that assumption. Black Panther had some similar scenes without any giant backstory explanations.

My guess is it was about Ahsoka purging her guilt about the Clone Wars and "abandoning" Anakin, and her doubts about her ability to teach Sabine. She certainly seemed a bit more unburdened/carefree at episodes end. "Hey, let's just go wherever the whales take us man!"

In the epilogue of Rebels, Ahsoka was wearing white robes... methinks that originally her purging came prior to the reunion with Sabine and now Filoni wanted to explore that a bit more and retconned the white for grey this series so that she could eventually wear the white rob (ala Gandalf).

This was about Ahsoka's character. All her life she's been forced to be what others wanted her to be. She was always fighting for others because that's what she was trained to do. Star Wars for a long time has been trying to show that both the Jedi and Sith were wrong, The Jedi were as responsible for Anakin's downfall as the Sith were. The Jedi taught him to reject his feelings and so he wasn't capable of dealing with them, whereas the Sith taught him to let his feelings control him. True balance with the force is accepting your 'humanity' but not letting it control you blindly.
The WBW experience with Anakin was him showing her that both sides were wrong, that she could have passion and not fall to the dark side. It was clear to me that Ahsoka has realized she was finally free to find her own path, and that Dawson played the character as closer to what we was when we first met her in Clone Wars. Yes, Ahsoka the White, but it was based in character development and not just a costume change.

They retconned Sabine's hair too. Most of the first two episodes of Ahsoka take place between those two Rebels epilogue scenes (Ahsoka flying in with the 2 X-Wings and Sabine turning to her at the mural).

I thought they did a good job with the world between worlds, and Anakin’s transition to/from Vader was well done.
my son and I loved the “Rebels” series, so we really enjoyed the end of the ep.
