The third episode of Ahsoka, titled Time To Fly, had the shortest run-time of the season so far, and the least number of points scored with 77.5. The highest scorer this week was the ancient lightsaber architect droid Huyang with 22.5 points, ending Ahsoka Tano’s streak of highest scorer at two.

Scoring Recap

The episode opens with the T-6 in hyperspace. Huyang scores 5 points for appearing first onscreen and 5 points for speaking the first line of dialogue while training Sabine in a sparring exercise: “Kee-ray. Guy-kee. Kee-ray.” He does not receive points for igniting the four holographic training sabers. Huyang, Sabine, and Ahsoka all score one point for appearing in the episode. Huyang’s name is mentioned five times in the opening scene, giving him 2.5 points. Sabine’s name is also spoken one time, giving her 0.5 points. Ahsoka asks Sabine to wear a helmet that blocks her vision and attempt to sense her presence through the Force, but it is unclear if she ever succeeds, so she is not awarded points for using the Force. The scene ends with the title of the show.

In the next scene, Hera Syndulla meets with several senators via hologram to request a task force to investigate Thrawn’s allies. Hera, Mon Mothma, and Hamato Xiono all score 1 point for appearing in the episode. Mothma and Xiono also score 2 points each for appearing as a hologram. Xiono scores 1 point for saying the phrase “New Republic.” Hera scores 3 total points for saying the name of the planet Corellia, the Denab system, and the phrase “The Empire.” During the meeting, Jacen Syndulla’s name is mentioned, giving him his first 0.5 points of the season. Xiono’s name is mentioned twice, giving the senator 1 point. Mon Mothma, Morgan Elsbeth, and Chopper’s names are also mentioned once, giving each 0.5 points. Hera and Ezra’s names are both spoken three times giving each 1.5 points. Thrawn is the biggest winner, receiving 3.5 points for being name-dropped seven times in the scene.

After the meeting, Hera runs into Chopper and her son, Jacen, in the hallway. Both Jacen and Chopper score 1 point for appearing in the episode. Sabine, Chopper, and Jacen are all name-dropped and each score 0.5 points. The scene ends with a wipe transition, giving both Hera and Jacen 0.5 points each.

Sabine and Ahsoka appear onscreen for the second half of the same wipe transition that starts the next scene. Both Sabine and Ahsoka score 1 point for taking drinks from cups while discussing the Force. Ahsoka scores 0.5 points for using the Force to move the cup to her hand and another 0.5 points when Sabine says her name. Sabine does not receive points for taking a second drink from the same cup later in the episode.

In the cockpit of the T-6, both Ahsoka and Huyang score 2 points for appearing onscreen with the blue tunnel of hyperspace. Ahsoka scores 1 point for saying the phrase “New Republic.” Hera and Sabine are both name-dropped twice, scoring 1 point each.

Sabine joins Ahsoka and Huyang in the cockpit, and both she and Hera score 2 points for appearing onscreen with the blue hyperspace tunnel. Hera also scores 2 points for appearing as a hologram.

Huyang scores 1 point for saying the name of the Denab system after their communications are jammed.

The T-6 drops out of hyperspace near the planet Seatos and they are attacked by two squadrons of three fighters, two of which are flown by Marrok and Shin Hati, who score 1 point each for appearing in the episode.

In the ensuing battle and approach to the Eye Of Sion hyperspace ring, Huyang is name-dropped seven times, scoring 3.5 points. Sabine and Morgan are name-dropped twice, scoring 1 point each. Marrok’s name is said once, giving him 0.5 points. Morgan Elsbeth scores 1 point for appearing in the episode, ordering the Eye of Sion’s turbolasers to fire on Ahsoka’s T-6.

With her T-6 floating dead in space, Ahsoka steps outside in a spacesuit to draw fire from the enemy fighters while Sabine repairs the ship. She ignites both lightsabers, scoring 1 point. She destroys the last of the enemy fighters piloted by redshirts and she and Sabine trade 0.5 points for saying each other’s names.

During the descent through the planet’s atmosphere, Sabine, Ahsoka, Huyang, Marrok, and Shin Hati all score 0.5 points for encountering purrgil. All five also score 1 point for visiting the planet Seatos.

On the surface of the planet, Ezra and Huyang both score 0.5 points for being name-dropped. Sabine and Ahsoka score 0.5 points each for appearing onscreen during the wipe transition that ends the scene.

Baylan Skoll’s reflection in the water is onscreen for the second half of the same transition that starts the next scene, giving him 0.5 points. He scores 1 point for both appearing in the episode and visiting Seatos.
