Lightsabers, lightsabers, lightsabers!
Episode 4 of Ahsoka is one of the best that Star Wars has to offer, largely because it gives us a lot of something we love about the franchise: lightsaber duels! There are three battles of the sort in this week's "Fallen Jedi," and they are all an absolute delight for the fans to watch.
Mandalorians have been fighting Force-sensitive warriors for millennia, and we've seen Sabine herself train in the ways of the lightsaber with Jedi Knight Kanan Jarrus in Star Wars Rebels. Back then, she learned from Kanan how a lightsaber works, with the flow of emotions reaching the kyber crystal at the center and how that affects the fight itself.
The duel itself is rather short, though. Marrok is very agile and slick, which is a typical Inquisitor trait in battle, and uses his double-bladed lightsaber very well, complete with spinning attacks and all. But we've seen Ahsoka defeat countless Inquisitors back in Rebels, so she made quick work of him using only one lightsaber as opposed to her regular two . The end of their duel is very reminiscent of Obi-Wan Kenobi against Maul in Rebels, too.
What's interesting about this particular duel is how Ahsoka and Baylan study themselves at the beginning, like they're measuring each other and defining strategy. Also, both of them fight using typical Jedi stances which may explain some of Ahsoka's apparent anxiety here. For the first time in a long time, she's fighting someone who has the same training as her. Inquisitors have their own typical style, but Baylan is a Jedi-trained warrior.
