History NightmareFuel / Ahsoka

* The realization that there are still Imperial sympathizers among the Corellian workers can come off as very shocking. Especially with that shout of "For the Empire!" that instantly kicks off a chaotic action scene.

* During Anakin and Ahsoka's duel, Anakin briefly turns into Knightfall Vader. We are mostly spared the body horror since this is him in his pre-Mustafar state with pallid skin and SupernaturalGoldEyes -- but Vader's iconic armored suit also flashes in and out as he menacingly approaches Ahsoka. And coldly states:

** Vader's presence doesn't solely rely on his facial transformation and the red lightsaber: the little dialogue Creator/HaydenChristensen intones as Vader ("Incorrect" and "You lack conviction", notably) is modulated with an EvilSoundsDeep approximation that evokes Creator/JamesEarlJones' own laconic but imperious dialogue. Even the body language of the lightsaber swings are themselves evocative of Vader's more recent rampages as seen in ''Film/RogueOne'' and ''Series/ObiWanKenobi'', now backed up with the full range of motion of a healthy Anakin.

* Ahsoka disarms Vader during their duel, and holds his lightsaber to his throat. As she does so, ''her'' eyes turn golden as well, a sign that in that moment Ahsoka is teetering on the very edge of the Dark Side... Thankfully, she pulls herself out of it... and so does Vader - by closing his eyes for several seconds and then reverting back into Anakin while opening them.

* When Sabine damages the Death Trooper's helmet, we get a glimpse at the trooper's rotten decayed jaw to confirm yes they're really undead.

* Morgan Elsbeth's initiation ritual is downright unnerving, to the point where even Thrawn seems unsettled by it. Much like Talzin's empowerment of Maul, the process is painful and physical deforms Morgan's face such that she ends up with dark facial markings and black empty eyes.

* The Great Mothers reanimating the fallen Night Troopers. Plus, the implication that those particular troopers volunteered for that mission knowing that their bodies would be raised to fight again, or that they believed the Nightsisters would protect their actual lives and not just their animation.

* '''Grand Admiral Thrawn''' is back, bringing with him that unnervingly steady gravitas and calculating confidence that defined him as a mortal threat back in ''Rebels''. With a regiment of golden-plated stormtroopers, the ''Chimaera'', and even the ''Nightsisters'' at his back, Thrawn is poised as the true threat once more.

** A number of viewer have compared the appearance of the Chimaera to the ''Flying Dutchman''.

* While not phoning it in, compared to his duel with Obi-Wan on Mustafar and later duels in his armour, Vader clearly isn't putting anything close to his full might into the duel and easily has Ahsoka on the backfoot - granting the audience the barest glimpse into what the Galaxy was spared from.

* Thrawn sending Baylan and Shin after Sabine, with both him and Baylan noting that the deal was to let Sabine ''[[ExactWords find]]'' Ezra. There was nothing about them letting both of them live in there. Not to mention, Thrawn's ultimate goal is to get himself and his forces back to their own galaxy at any cost, and Thrawn is [[PragmaticVillainy perfectly willing]] to leave Baylan and Shin behind as well should they fail in their task and be unable to get back to the ''Chimaera'' before she departs.
