Ahsoka (Disney+)

[+primortal Subscriber²]

Dawson is Ashoka Tano, a former Padawan, in the new Star Wars spinoff "Ashoka," which was developed by Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni. Also starring Natasha Liu Bordizzo and Hayden Christensen, it releases in August 2023.

I'm kinda ambivalent towards this show.  Sure, they did well bringing Ahsoka to life for Mando, but now they're bringing the Rebels cast to life, and Thrawn as well, and if they get even one tiny thing "wrong", the more rabid fans are going to lose their minds... Look at the rage over Ahsoka's lekku!

Honestly, I think I'd rather they continue the Rebels story in CGI...

Well, guess I need to rewatch Rebels before August.  Been looking forward to this one...

I'll give this a try, but I'm kind of losing interest in SW like I have with the MCU.  I still haven't seen any of Mando s3, just no urge to TBH.

There's definitely some fatigue setting in with both fandoms...

Jedi Karens will lose their ###### over anything these days. It is just the norm, sadly. It is sad that people get so worked up over movies/tv shows.

I think knowledge of Rebels would help when watching Ahsoka but I think Dave said that they tried to stick in the information in the show, so it would not be a requirement. I would recommend it because it was a good show.

It started weak, but very soon became must-watch SW backstory.

I like it so far. It is a little more laid back than the others but I think it will pick up.

I am just seeing the "Jedi Karens" comment from a few months ago.  LOL!!!

[margrave]

I'm liking it so far.

 

I have no idea why some people wouldn't like it.

[Innervisions33]

The show has been great so far... I'm walking into it having never watched CW or Rebels, so my only basis is what I've seen from the Mandalorian.  Very curious to see how the next episode plays out.

[Billus]

Really enjoying Ahsoka so far. The story writing is at least on par with Andor. The visuals are quite good too and takes full advantage of HDR. It's an absolute joy to watch.

I have watched Clone Wars and Rebels and although I was sceptical about turning to live-action, it turned out rather well. Next step would be for Disney to scrap episodes 7-9 from canon haha.

They are going to introduce the multiverse to Star Wars.  This is meant to get out of the Lucas-verse.

No, I don’t think so

Having another galaxy doesn't make it a multiverse lol

Episode 4 was a good one,

Spoiler

although seeing Anakin in the form he's in is weird in terms of timelines.

Spoiler

Afterlife? She die in the fall? No Jedi has ever died from falling.

i'm enjoying it, I don't much about the lore of all the characters from around this period. Good characters, good action, decent script and the empire just standing/waiting around as usual for the rebels to attack... EP4 was twisty tho...

You’ve not watched the series in which all this stuff was first explained.

Now, I’m not saying you “have to”, but before criticising the show, may be worth a little checking first.

I think Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll is probably one of the best characters in ANY Star Wars. He is awesome. RIP. 

Also Ivanna Sakhno as Shin Hati is really good. She gives off the feeling that she is gonna go on a murderous rage at any second really makes her character.
