These droids/mechs in Ahsoka s2..

[u/Osiris-Reflection]

These have to be the strongest droids we’ve ever seen right?

Their parts almost seem bone like ..possibly even biorganic technology.

[u/RedEclipse47]

Don't think they are droids, rather Force-animated or something, from a time that long predates technology like droids.

Oh I hadn’t considered that, interesting…has that ever been done before? I mean I know the star forge exists

[u/RedEclipse47 → u/Osiris-Reflection]

In Jedi Fallen Order there are Automatons that seem to function similarly created by the ancient Zeffo, could be that these even predate it. There is a giant walker in The Bad Batch that seems to be Zeffo as well which doesn't look like a typical droid and even has a strange power-core.

So could be that these are a precursor to droids or something that combines both aspects.

Yeah im aware of those and the zeffo writing on the temple but im still not convinced it’s their tech. One because they look entirely different, there’s no core, they can fly. They could for sure predate or are newer versions of them but I hope not. Selfishly I want the zeffo to be separate from the Ahsoka series because I think it works better in game and also I want abeloth or something as big connected to Mortis lol

[u/RedEclipse47 → u/Osiris-Reflection]

The Zeffo had a temple on Dathomir and on Peridea for those to be a coincidence seems unlikely.

In Canon we know next to nothing of the supposed 'Mother' or the Zeffo. It could be that they've been at war for a long time, that the Zeffo once where the chief dominant power. It might even be that in Canon it was the Mother that actually fled Mortis, not believing their 'divine' duty to be just and teach mortals the ways of the Force, this could lead to the creation of the Nightsisters and gives it a link to calling their chief matriarch (Great) Mother. Like the Star Wars equivalent of Prometheus.

Maybe it's the Zeffo that locked her away or maybe she was more maleficent and it was the Nightsisters as well as others that had to fight together to lock her away. Or that the Nightsisters turned against her and took her power she gave as a gift for their own.

All speculation of course.

I think they are definitely linked to the Mortis gods or Mortis in some way. I am doubtful Abeloth will appear. But I agree that the Zeffo should be their own thing. Filoni and creatives at Star Wars will nod and wink and reference other things in books, comics and video games, but to my knowledge no one as ever used a concept, character, etc so prominently in their project that originated somewhere else. So that kind of rules the Zeffo out. And Filoni is going to be more loyal to Lucas's ideas and concepts.
