I mean, yeah she probably could've just pushed her and ended the fight right there. This is the same character who blocked rapid fire within spitting distance of her in all directions. She probably could just end the fight.
That all being said it's not like the bad guys had been much of any threat in this episode. Din and Ahsoka pretty much had the whole thing under control so if Ahsoka felt like fighting then why not, she's not going anywhere and can get the information she wants anyways. For the flack I give this episode the fight is not one of them, that was fine.

[QUOTE=Anthony W;5251908]She just waits for her to wake up. It's not as if she is going to be knocked out for more than a hour but if that makes you squeamish she could just use the force to pull the staff out of her hands, that would be child's play for Ahsoka. It was a one on one fight so she was free to focus on just one person holding a staff as opposed to splitting her focus among multiple people and droids shooting at her or one highly trained Mandalorian from a people who rivaled yours.[/QUOTE]
[font=Palatino Linotype][color=navy][size=3]If Ahsoka wanted the info as soon as possible, or just didn't want to wait, unconscious isn't an option.
As for the rest, you may want to consider giving up TV and film if that kind of stuff bothers you. Fights that end in 2 seconds because one person is way more powerful than the other are rarely entertaining. You might want to visit the Rumbles forum if you prefer the math of physical encounters rather than opening yourself up to the possibility of being entertained.[/size][/color][/font]

To be fair anytime a force user and a non force user without a gun fight you figure the force user should probably just toss them about until they surrender. I mean why someone didn’t just force Grievous to slice himself to bits with his lightsabers during the Clone Wars is beyond me...

Using the force was actually the go-to option in Fallen Order since most Purge Trooper encounters had been near ledges. So you really only needed one good push and you didn't have to fight them. Thing about Grievous is that's what the old Clone Wars series actually suggested his coughing was from. He was crushed by Mace Windu during the abduction of the Chancellor which is why he's coughing in ROTS.
Though really with named characters of course they can't die before when they do in the films so Grievous always has to escape.

So if Thrawn has some influence on the galaxy it's possible the hyperspace whales didn't take him and Ezra too far away from the action.
Question is, why didn't he rejoin the Empire during the main war? The new Thrawn novels by Zahn did seem to strongly hint that Thrawn had divided loyalties, and the Emperor isn't too pleased with him by the end of the trilogy, so maybe he thought rejoining the Chiss or working from the shadows was a better thing to do. Also kind of funny that in the original EU, this is the point past ROTJ where the original Thrawn trilogy took place.

I assumed the magistrate was Force sensitive based on her weapon, fighting style, and knowledge.

I think Thrawn was legitimately lost during the Galactic Civil War, and has only returned or been able to make long distance contact in the last 5 years. Thrawn's main purpose would probably be making a micro empire to help the Chiss fight the Gryssk, since he probably fears that with the Empire gone and the New Republic having demilitarized too much after Jakku, that there is nothing to scare the Gryssk from full invasion

Too busy using the Force to help them not crap their pants.

Will ya' look at that, someone came up with a plausible explanation that I didn't think of instead of defending the decision as if they actually had a personal stake in the show themselves. Bravo, BeastieRunner.

[QUOTE=Anthony W;5251817]Ahsoka can use the Force, so why didn't she just pick up the magistrate and fling her against a wall and knock her out? Or just pull the beskar staff out of her hands?[/QUOTE]
It's just one of those conceits of the whole franchise once force users were shown as more and more powerful, yet they fight with laser swords and don't just throw people around all the time. One of those "it's a fantasy and don't look too closely at it" things.

It doesn't need an explanation though, in fact creating theories as to why it went the way it did seems weird to me. Why complicate things when the the real answer is obvious: because it looked cool?
I mean, if making fan theories floats your boat and enhances your enjoyment, have at it...but I just don't see twisting yourself into a pretzel over something so simple. Ahsoka doesn't throw the magistrate around with the Force for the same reason why the Lord of the Rings isn't a ten page story that ends with Gandalf and Frodo tossing the ring from eagle back and why Superman's fights aren't just one panel images of him casually throwing bad guys into the sun...because then you miss out on all kinds of cool looking fights and drama.

I like to think Ashoka is looking for Thrawn because he's her best lead in finding Ezra. I would like to think Ezra will be the Jedi to answer Grogu call when Mando takes him to Tython.

Nothing wrong with that. The fact that we are here means that we are already huge marks and the creators don't have to try very hard.....but they still have to [B][I][U]try[/U][/I][/B]. What is wrong with so much genre entertainment and why major franchises are stumbling (won't name names, don't want to pull us off topic) everyone tosses everything they think will be cool without thinking how it will work. The fans ignore ninety-nine percent because we are marks for this stuff but have a question about [B][I][U]one thing[/U][/I][/B] and are immediately told to stop taking everything so seriously or that they are being overly pedantic.

Yeah, I'm having a blast :S

Remember what I said about not having to try too hard but still having to try? Because the giant eyeball would see them coming and the evil army would just find some way to shoot them out of the sky. Superman is always holding himself back. See? Doing [B][I]just enough[/I][/B] to make it plausible.

[QUOTE=Jekyll;5251745]I am hoping that Mando raises him to be a mandalorian :D
This show keeps getting better and is officially my favorite thing in Star Wars.[/QUOTE]
Technically speaking, the child is already a Mandalorian. The armorer declared him an official foundling and Mando gave him his pendant.

Yeah, I think that's part of why Ahsoka is trying to find him, because she knows Ezra is either with him or Thrawn knows what happened to him.
The question is, with her seeming like a solo act, where is Sabine? Is she trying to free Mandalore with Bo-Katan?
Ahsoka mentioning someone Force Sensitive will likely detect Grogu on Tython tells me that some name character will show up.
