they jump across galaxies by farting
shareThat's because they are vegans.

that smells stinkerwhiff
shareDuh
shareI hate what Disney has done to SW.
It would have been ok, but LIGHT SPEED WHALES? Give me a break.
after I saw that, I concluded that Star Wars is dead..
sharelight speed whales was pretty dumb. i assumed this was gonna be more a thing where this native species of the cosmos could access wormholes to different feeding and breeding grounds. like you couldn't locate the wormholes without the whales. so you had to know where and when they'd be to hitch a ride in their wake. but nah. the whales are just straight up organic light speed engines. as long as we're doing this, let's go dark and show how these whales are hunted to near extinction so their organs can be ripped out to build light speed drives. the whole universe runs on space whale oil, folks. everybody flying around having a good time are absolute monsters.

shareIt's not a new concept though. They were a big part of Star Wars Rebels from over a decade ago.
shareThey were a big part of Star Wars Rebels...
Not really. share
Sorry did I mix up Rebels and Clone Wars or something? Point was, the whales weren't something recently devised for Ahsoka.
shareSorry, yes you're right - they weren't devised specifically for Ahsoka.
I just meant they weren't a "big part" of Rebels. I think they featured in two episodes, one of which being the final episode, so not really prominent within the show...
I've reasonably enjoyed Ahsoka thus far but I do think one of it's weak points is the selection of certain elements from what was a cartoon. Some things - like hyperdrive space whales - belong more firmly away from live action.
They were actually lifted from the Acanti, in the X-Men comics. First thing I thought of, when I saw them: WHY didn't Marvel Comics raise a big hue and cry? Shrug.
shareBut you're ok with magic bacteria that gives you superpowers?
shareThat's real! :)
shareso in the next episode, if Darth Vader comes out of Ahsoka's ass and then shits out a rainbow colored light saber we should just ok with it because we're ok with magic bacteria that gives you superpowers.
shareMidi-chlorians surely can't be bacteria.
Otherwise you could grow a large culture in a jar and inject yourselves to acquire the largest Midi-chlorian count ever recorded and become the top drawer Jedi!
Actually, perhaps that could be a good plot point - maybe Dr Pershing from the Mandalorian could be working on this...
I agree. Life, that can travel from galaxy to galaxy? Gimme a effing break with that.
