Ahsoka Season 1 Fantasy League Recap – Week 6

Part Six: Far, Far Away

Hey Ahsoka fans!

The sixth episode of Ahsoka, titled Far, Far Away, featured the season’s first appearance of Group 4 character Grand Admiral Thrawn and Group 6 character Captain Enoch. Thrawn led the scoring with a new single week record high 42.5 points, single-handedly scoring a large percentage of the episode’s 98 total points.

In this episode, only 9 League Characters scored points for their team, while 1 (Hera Syndulla) finished with a net zero total after scoring 0.5 points and incurring a -0.5 point penalty. I’ll include a scene-by-scene recap of all the scoring below, but first let’s get right to the Week 6 standings.

Important Scoring Note

Grand Admiral Thrawn’s introduction presented the most difficult scoring decision of the season so far. A legion of Night Troopers chanted his name as he marched through their ranks. The closed captioning read Night Troopers: (chanting) Thrawn. Thrawn. Thrawn. After re-watching and re-listening to the sequence several times, Fantasy League Geek determined Thrawn’s name was said approximately 54 times, giving the Grand Admiral a whopping 27 points.

Fantasy League Geek also ruled that the new, multi-colored form of hyperspace travel seen in this episode swirling around both the purrgil and the Eye of Sion will count for hyperspace encounter points.

Scoring Recap

The episode begins with a pod of purrgil traveling through hyperspace, the largest one carrying the T-6 with both Ahsoka Tano and Huyang on board. Both score 5 points for appearing first onscreen. They also both score 1 point for appearing in the episode, 0.5 points for encountering purrgil, and 2 points for traveling through hyperspace. Huyang scores 5 points for speaking the first line of dialogue: “Intergalactic travel within a star whale.” Sabine Wren is name-dropped twice, scoring 1 point, while Hera Syndulla, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Ezra Bridger are each name-dropped once, scoring 0.5 points. The scene ends with the show and episode title.
