Yeah, picking this actress and setting up her character like this felt less like a logical choice and more like them wanting to win a young audience for this show...

At least we're getting a better picture of New Republic rankings - general gets 4 cherry sucrets, ensign(?) gets a single nyquil, child of general gets a marked out student or corporate ID ripped off its rightful owner's lanyard.

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
I think its as simple as Disney Star Wars isn't the same thing as Lucas Star Wars. Its just not made for the same audience now. The whole "the force is female" tag says it all. It was a planned shift to move the content to appeal to young girls. After being a lifelong fan with one of my first ever memories, seeing the original movie in a cinema. The content is so obviously not made to appeal to me and is such poor quality now, I can't even be bothered to get upset by it. That would be as pointless as me getting upset over something they did to the Barbie line. Star Wars just isn't a brand made for a broad, mostly male audience now. I'm happy for those enjoying it though, there is plenty of other stuff for me to watch.

Ah, but you'd assume I didn't watch them at all then. I gave it an honest shot with Clone Wars (animated). I couldn't get over the jank CGI animation and obvious gearing towards children. I'm not going to consume 7 seasons of a show that I barely liked to get the context needed to watch Rebels which was a spinoff, to then watch the live action version. That's a lotta time invested in something that was genuinely like pulling teeth sitting down and watching, and I LIKE star wars.

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
1x4 - Anyone else notice how sh!t Ahsoka is at using the force and engaging an enemy? So much for girl power. Anakins fault I guess. This episode has you siding with the bad guys. I've been quite negative, so on a more positive note, it's a perfectly immersive ILM production, 10/10, 4 stars, however, the story decisions are like a 5/10, so overall it's like a 7.5/10. What would you rate Ahsoka so far?

Had problems finishing ep03, how is it possible to make so boring television when you have such a rich universe with lore to take inspiration from?

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
I quite like the series just as I liked that other short oap Mondolian dude series. except when I hear mention of "the force" makes me cringe

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
Woah that last Ep was AMAZING... I'm in for wherever this goes. Most especially like that Ahsoka too on an apprentice that doesn't seem to have any force abilities [and hope they continue to keep Sabine force deaf]. I really like the idea that a Jedi doesn't need to use the force to serve the force and keep peace as long as they can past the tests. It brings up so many interesting story options.

I typically won't 'rate' a show until the full season is up. To me, a season in TV terms is like a movie, typically the full story isn't told until the season is over. So far... it's getting some eye rolling from me. The second Disney Star Wars movie almost killed all joy I had in the series. Turning Poe and John Boyega into bumbling idiots while trying to portray the purple haired feminist that basically got the entire rebellion killed with her incompetence, then breaking all Star Wars lore by having hyperspace collisions being a thing instead of hyperspace being a literal state of existence outside of normal space was mind boggling to me. And now. Ahsoka seems to be going the same route. It wouldn't surprise me at all to learn that this purple haired feminist is who grows up to ruin the rebellion and the second movie. Let me clear something up too. I'm pro-feminist and equality. What I'm against is casting men in an incompetent light to provide a contrasting backdrop to make a female character seem more intelligent. Feminists aren't a fan of the damsel in distress routine, which Leia broke the wall on all those years ago showing Han and Luke she had bigger balls than they did. And I get why they don't like the damsel in distress trope, frankly it's just poor story telling to degrade one character and use them as a backdrop to improve the perception of the 'hero'. What I really don't like specifically about Ahsoka is: ▼Spoiler the amount of Star Wars lore that's absolutely just being abandoned. For one, I don't buy that the Jedi order needs to be abandoned entirely. That 10,000 years of peace keeping and spreading good through the galaxy is just erased because of the mistakes made during the clone wars. It's a simplistic and stupid view. I also don't buy that 'anyone can be a Jedi'. Let's call the force what it really is. Space Magic. We literally have witches who can do spells in the form of the Dathomere witches. I hate this inclusive bullshit opinion that everyone is special and everyone can do everything. Some people are naturally gifted and are capable of things I'll never be capable of. I'm a decent player in some pick me up street ball for instance, but Lebron James is still gonna make me look like a chump. Those little asian kids on youtube that can play Beethoven and I'll never be able to make my fingers work right to work a piano. My point is the Jedi are special, and it's okay that they are. Making a Jedi out of someone that can't use the force is just... so very very stupid it's not even funny. Considering there are already support groups out there for the Jedi of normal folk. Idk, I'm just tired of Disney messing with a beloved series of books and movies to cater to an audience that probably doesn't even appreciate the catering that much.
However: ▼Spoiler I want to love it, mostly because of episodes like number 5. Showing Vader in the clone wars and crossing between galaxies in one of the hyperspace whales is frankly, awesome. Universally too the show has been beautiful, and we're treated with a kid that's clearly very force sensitive leaving some hope that the Jedi can be reborn.

Your review is better than a number rating, and it seems like a well needed vent sesh, let it all out, and as poor as the writing is, I loved the same stuff in your However spoiler, too, so cool. ▼Spoiler I was hoping and assuming they would bring back Anakin, like, they did everything together in the Clone Wars, so the flash back, while kinda quiet and contemplative, was welcomed, and the space jumping whales were epic, but they did feel like they were for the kids. 

After watching the making of, and how Dave Filoni really is the creator of Ahsoka, it's all up to him to make this work: Making Of AHSOKA (2023) - Best Of Behind The Scenes & Set Visit With Rosario Dawson | Disney+ The full making of is on Disney+.

Speaking of bad writing, have you ever seen the lore accurate version of the hyperspace ram? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1TFYzYects

eps 6. what is Data from TNG appearing in this show as the big bad? I think Rodenberry estate needs to sue Lucas Films? The eps was alright until the little rock people entered... then all downhill

Erm, as recall, USA were in it for like...the last 10 minutes. Perhaps you are referring to the 'Allies'. Also, this show is SLOW. They even walk slowly, long pauses between dialogue, dragging the scene out extending 20 mins of material to its current runtime. The ladies look hot though, and Ray Stevenson is a legend...

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
All the girl-power pushing narratives aside, out of all the spin-offs from Star Wars released, this is most likely my favorite. It didn't start out that way but it got progressively better imo. Not having a ton of knowledge about Star Wars, this series also tied a few things together for me concerning the whole S.W. Universe. Rosario plays this sort of laid back Jack OG almost like she gotta buzz, Jedi. Very smooth cool collected almost kickin back chillin sometimes - - Oh and I just want to squeeze her head a couple times and see what type of texture and density they are. -- and all this new casting of females has gone crazy yes, but different topic anyway.

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
latest eps. more action. One thing I never understand in chases with people on critters - why not shoot the critter rather than the rider? really dumb? Other than that I am glad the blond bad anti-jedi girl got away - she is hot lol

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
I think my main issue with Ahsoka, it that it had no real story. Completely wasted oportunity, Ahsoka has so much potential.
2020. Meh.

well the story was left for you to fill in in the final eps - the return of the bad general, the mercanary and his rock face, his sidekick and those bandits. a real cop out. A DIY show lol. Only makes sense if there is to be a season 2?

Re: Ahsoka [Star Wars, Live-Action]
I was at least not bored by the last 2 eps. Sadly I think this one was not only for folks who watched clone wars and rebels, but more for those who watched them multiple times, remembered everything, and were really invested in the lore. I'm firmly in the 'watched once and immediately forgot all but the most basic things like who the main characters were' camp.
