Now that Ahsoka is finally over and the dust has settled on Dave Filoni's magnum opus, its time to deliver my final verdict on this show. Does it save Star Wars, or is it yet another lame flop from Disney Lucasfilm?

    Ironically, Lucasfilm managed to butcher the character arcs of their female leads more than their male ones this time around
  • It's a shame Hayden and Ewan can still pull off these characters so well and are willing to reprise the roles only for Disney to give use this.

    The fact that Ezra, after being reunited with long lost friends after a decade of exile, leaves them exiled on the same planet with a smile on his face, not giving a shit about the people who attempted to rescue him was sociopathic at best. What the actual f...?!
  • I love the fact that Hayden and McGregor are so good at Sword fighting from the Prequels that they can actually attend competitions if they felt like it. Even if Hayden was going slow in Ahsoka it is the quickest and must fluent lightsaber duel we have seen since 2005

    "a dumb person's idea of what a smart person should be" is a perfect analysis. These writers should be ashamed of themselves.
  • The moment I saw Sabine survive a lightsaber strike straight through the gut, I knew there would be no stakes moving forward. What a joke.
  • @keelanenns4548
    I’ve suddenly gained so much appreciation for the prequels and Hayden Christiansen’s choreography abilities because Star Wars used to be cool thanks to them
  • @GeorgeCowsert
    They managed to bring Ahsoka's character back down to the same level as when she was first introduced.

    I think the 12 year old Ahsoka kid could totally carry a show... She was more animated and passionate in her 5 minutes, than Dawson can muster in 8 episodes.
  • I just love the fact Hadden Christensen can easily outplay and maneuver Dawson in the fight scenes, when he's only just 2 years younger than her. It's been 20 years and the guy hasn't forgotten his proper training under Lucas😂!

    Bill Burr showed more acting skill and character development in a dining table scene than any of the high paid "pro" actors in this entire show somehow

    To paraphrase Nerdrotic: "It's Star Wars for people who don't like Star Wars, made by people who don't understand Star Wars."

    It speaks volumes when an angry drunk has more sense than paid professionals at Disney

    Thrawn actually is a smart character. Hear me out. He knows he's in a Disney show. He knows he can't kill any of the mains. He knows that no matter what he does, the mains will thwart his plans. So he creates bad plans that are just good enough to allow him to escape
  • I didn't look to unkindly on the whole "space whale" thing. They borrow the idea of an "elephant graveyard," that when an elephant knows it's about to die, it will walk to the same place they've designated to do it in, to go do it. Same thing here, she just needs to find one that's about to die (not an easy task) because she can't exactly find one coming back from where Ezra and Thrawn went (it won't)
  • @JasonX716
    The fact that Anakin decides to appear in front of his apprentice but was nowhere to be seen during Luke's journey in rebuilding the Jedi Order is beyond me and clearly shows you that these people have no idea what they're doing
  • @KMort
    The fact that the little girl looked more competent fighting Hayden than adult Ahsoka does💀 Hayden's cameo proves the superiority of the training George had him and Ewan do. We literally SEE him slowing down just so Rosario can keep up.
  • One thing striking me it that Ahsoka's tentacles look very cheap in finition (not only short). But we are now 20 years after Shaak-ti's first movie appearances (whose looked refined by contrast). And it was at the good/bad old age of "brick and mortar" costumes, not CGI thrown in any way possible. Again, the feeling of that series' makers just not giving a damn of it to at least try and make it visually properly.
  • A great writer can take a dumb idea and make something good. A bad writer can take a great idea and make something terrible.
