Hey Legends! Are you enjoying the Ahsoka show? And if you are, did you watch the cartoons? Hope you are all having a wonderful day and if you enjoyed this video please consider Liking, Subscribing and hitting that Bell so you don’t miss a video. Cheers!
I thought the Samurai imagery in episode 4 was quite good. The lightsaber fights with Ahsoka were quite enjoyable, a more direct influence from Samurai cinema.
I have been enjoying it a lot actually. I have watched the cartoons like rebels and clone wars. I understand why people dislike the show but I think there are good parts of Ashoka. We will have to wait and see how it plays out in these last 3 episodes.
Funny how Hayden showed us in just a few minutes of screen time, what a little bit of sword training can do!!!! When he starts dueling with Ashoka is like he is an OP video game boss that you shouldn't be fighting at the time and level!
Literally.I loved seeing hayden use a saber again the choreography from literally everyone else in this show isn’t very good at all.Its like they move in slow motion it’s so odd
I never understand why people think Obi didn't know Anakin became Vader when he saw a security recording of Anakin killing younglings and Sidious calling him Lord Vader...
As much as I hate defending the Disney crap, the point was that Obi Wan thought Anikan/Vader was dead. Disneys implication was that he was living under a rock on Tatooine and had no idea Vader (or Anikan) was still around.
You playing the clips of the dialogue in the show was actually really smart. Just let the show speak for itself in telling us how terrible the dialogue is. So much of it is just two to three words at a time. "Are you worried?" "No." "Good." "Should I be?" "What?" "Worried." "Nope." Like, that is such a gluten-free exchange that I've actually lost calories just listening to it.
One thing to probably remember is that when Dave made the Clone Wars show, Lucas would assist from time to time. Feedback, ideas, changes, etc. And Clone Wars turned out pretty well. Here... he answers to Kathleen Kennedy...
@@solarydaysmaybe because its his story? No he did not come up with all the details, but the central plot and themes that span all the way up until disney took over is his work, or directly inspired by his work
@@solarydays so wrong. he had the whole original trilogy written down. its lucas's story. other people he left put in a few ideas. if lucas says something isnt right, then it isnt right. dont like it? go write your own trilogy
@@solarydays Lucas is very creative, the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy were all his stories, his ideas. The issue he has is getting that idea of his written down and executed correctly, that's where other directors helped like filters to stand his work up. The prequels are an example of that filter not being there; poor, memes, bad, but the story and world building were amazing and did nothing but prop the Star Wars franchise up even higher, if a bit shakily. The sequels are pretty... and that's about it. No plan, no vision, no care, all it did was destroy what came before.
Sabine literally lived with a blind Jedi for months, and ran rebel missions with him. She would never ask that question in a million years: "I can't see, how am I supposed to fight?" The right thing for the script to have made her say would be "I'm not Kanan, you know I can't use the force like that, and I can't do that blind-fight crap".
See that's the thing. Casual fans don't even know who she is much less how she relates to anything. Those of us who simply saw the movies may have heard of Ashoka but other than that... nothing.
@@DaNinja60there are times when casual fans can be left not knowing, though. Not the Anakin fight; I think they needed to give y’all more exposition. But for a small quip like that? Think of how many small quips there are in the OT that you have to look into to know the full meaning of lol. Power converters? Kessel Run? And in the PT, like Darth Plagueis and Sifo Dias.
The level of ability with a lightsaber that hayden has is leagues above the others ..after watching all the Disney shows and the sequels is like watching fans cosplay badly ..then hayden pulled his out against ahsoka and u could just feel the difference he came across as so much more powerful and graceful with it ..the reason they had to zoom in so much when ahsoka beat anakin is because it looked so bad ans fake so they zoomed in to the point u couldnt see what was happening u just see their faces and suddenly ahsoka has his saber ..the prequel actors and saber choreographers are levels above the disney ones its not even close ..it was like watching 2 amateur boxers then letting Mike Tyson into the ring Hayden is masterful with a lightsaber everything from his stance his cadence his movements is so pleasing on the eye he oozes charisma he weilds that lightsaber like a real swordsman and u can feel the difference
Watch the sequence slowly and you will realize Ahsoka actually cuts herself into two while grabbing Anakin's lightsaber. More so than trying to hide Rosairo Dawson's incompetence, the showrunners were actually trying to hide their incompetence because noone could think of a better choreography for that scene and they just decided 'heck, we'll zoom in and our stupid audience will not even recognize what's going on'.
He’s sooooo goood!!! He remembers all his old moves! And they look great as always! Such an elegant thing to watch, shame nothing else Disney has strayed from the dance aesthetic of lightsaber duels, easily my favorite part of the prequels.
@@bimbuerton362 these guys trained their butts of back in the day. Plus they had Nick Gillard. He is probably the reason why Hayden's still got it after all these years. He looks really comfortable with the saber like a seasoned fighter.
ok i am no star wars fans, i only watched/binged first half of " andor" and i liked it a lot but i get that it is not "true" star wars or whatever. everything else i tried to watch is so @$$ with garbage scripts. but holy damn, Hayden with his lightsaber moves looked so slick af in these scenes it was so damm cool thankfully we have youtube and i dont have to sit through dogsh^t slop that disney churns out to see good bits. Seeing Hayden in this scene kinda just made me sad it made wish star wars as franchise were good lmao
I want to state in 2000, I shared a bunk with a kid that was a "Star Wars" genius. He's read the books and everything, and he probably knows more Star Wars than anyone I knew IRL. What did the Rebels do immediately upon taking control? Paint Rebel insignia on the Star Destroyers and use them as flagships, and stuff them with X-Wings. Not tear them apart to make more "Rebel" ships.
One of the biggest changes I hate in Disney is the fact that everybody seems to know Anakin became Vader when it was always accepted that Obi-Wan and the Emperor, Yoda, padme,and Bale organa knew the whole time and Tarkin eventually figured out who Vader was because he's smart.
I'd add Thrawn to that list because he also spent time with Anakin and Vader and he's a genius, so makes sense he figured it out eventually similar to Tarkin
@@nikolaift4906 I think thrawn does in rebels the Disney show. But in the original (correct) EU, I don't know if he did or not. Id be okay with thrawn figuring it out as well.
As someone who did see Rebels the blind training scene was baffling. Kanan was at one point blinded and retrained to fight blind. The dude even trained her to fight while he was blind!
@@kalebdiaz1671 no. sabine cant use the force like he did to try to make up for his lack of sight. That was the point: she wouldnt be able to fight blind like the dude they keep bringing up, because shes not adept at the force.
AI can only aggregate and regurgitate but not create, which is what human creatives are already doing at Lucasfilm. No wonder why they are so concerned!
I would trust AI to write a decently watchable life action Clone Wars adaptation. Anakin is popular enough that it would even be a financial success. There are many Disney writers I wouldn't trust to do the same.
I'm not so sure. Art itself is a combination of different influences; pure 'originality' does not exist, because no one lives in a vacuum. So I see no theoretical reason AI will not be able to create stuff that feels completely new. After all, artists get better not only by creating, but mostly by consuming. It's impossible to reinvent a genre without having consumed a lot of it. And AI can do that at speed that no human will ever be capable of.
I remember the old EU. In the old EU the empire didn’t die at Endor. It didn’t die after Thrawn. It didn’t die with the birth of the new Jedi order. It took decades for them to finally be stopped and even then the empire had proven to be a major threat due to having several leaders forming their own pocket empires. It took the rebels until eight years after Endor to actually take corusant because the governor of that world simply took over the empire and it was business as usual. The empire had dark Jedi working for them from various sects and most of them weren’t Sith. Hell most of them didn’t even carry red lightsabers. The fall of the empire took a lot of fighting to do and it cost the new republic millions of men and fleets of ships and personnel to do it because the empire was a major power whos main weakness was the heavy handed tactics they used often only worked for a brief time before they lost their momentum and were ultimately out maneuvered. And when palpatine returned in the EU it was as a clone and there was not a “chosen one” prophecy at the time of writing that story. (Although it was still stupid writing by Kevin J Anderson who most fans agree was the Dave Filoni of the old Star Wars series back in the nineties. The mother dicker literally made a Death Star knock off super weapon that was just the laser part being piloted by a Hutt🤦🏻). The new EU is just garbage all around. The empire fell after one major fight. The new republic is corrupt right from day one. The Jedi were completely inconsequential. The empire had legions of Sith and dark Jedi who all dressed the same and used the same weapons. And when palpatine returned in this version there is a “chosen one” prophecy that now makes even less sense than it did before (seriously how do you have a Christ figure in a pantheistic zen setting where there is no God.). Which Dave Filoni made even worse by literally making it so the force has Gods now🤦🏻. The prequels may have be the point where Star Wars took a turn for the worst but Disney Star Wars is where the series just flat out died in a puddle of its own shit while mumbling incoherently. It’s such a mess anymore that I can’t even watch the originals without cringing because in the back of my mind all I’m thinking is “Every last one of you dies miserably and as a complete failure and nothing you did mattered”. Hell I can’t even comfort myself by just saying “there’s only three” because all I think about now when I see the damn title is how badly this series got and how much my time and investment was wasted. How my live for the series was rewarded by having my favorite characters turned into jokes and killed off (and now there literally is no fixing this because with Carrie dead, and Harrison well past giving a shit, there is now second chance to get the band back together.). There is no going back to fix the damage now even if they retconned the entire Disney canon there is never going to be a reunion between Han, Luke and Leia. All that we fans can do is move on from that and I’m so far gone now I don’t even want to look at the title because it’s just a reminder that all of that love and excitement and joy was for nothing. I feel like Harrison Fords character in The Mosquito Coast when he describes his mothers death. “People called it the height of callousness when I walked away from her. It’s not true. I loved her too much to watch her die”. And that’s how I feel about Star Wars now. I can’t watch it anymore because it’s just too mentally taxing to waste time on it anymore. How anyone could watch this after The force Awakens is a sign of deep denial or no higher brain function.
I feel the same way. America and the West are declining fast. Star Wars is just a symptom of a failing empire. Good times make weak men. Weak men make hard times.
Well said. Just go on with the original trilogy and the novels that come after and don’t worry about the other garbage. The prequels were kinda fun visually, but the story wasn’t necessary and the novels aren’t really necessary, unless you want to tie in Rogue Planet to the Yuuhzan Vong series. EU will always be canon in my book and it did the characters justice. We knew in our hearts that after the brilliance of the EU, they were never going to be able to do justice on screen. There was no way there were going to touch Luke’s incredible character arc, so they just killed him off. Doesn’t count as far as I’m concerned. What I read was all approved by Lucas, so it’s canon to me and always will be.
In the original expanded universe, the new republic made an entire military modernization program to build newer and more powerful ships and vehicles for the army specifically to shit on the remaining imperial stuff like star destroyers and AT-ATs, they even replaced the X-wing with a shiney new fighter and they went out of their way to make sure that nothing like what is happening in disney woild ever happen. Would have been nice to see that new republic instead.
The old EU New Republic also was actively looking for any ship it could use. It would never have scrapped a star destroyer. That's why they were trying to recruit smuggler ships and wanted the Katana fleet dreadnaughts from the clone wars in the thrawn trilogy. Stupid Marvel comics did the same thing, giving the Empire all the ships from the original trilogy only like days after order 66. Old EU had a much slower transition from Revenge of the sith tech to OT tech. Vader for example continued to fly black painted jedi starfighters for a long time before getting the prototype advanced TIE.
@@RoboticPope filoni did the same thing with the clone wars, the old clone wars comics the CIS was beating the republic in the first two years and they didn't have venators at the time, now they just spam them. I guess that's another thing to hate filoni for to, he is what caused the EU to be erased in the first place it's rather convenient that his clone wars show is still considered canon is it not?
Disney's version of the new republic is run by absolute idiots. I remember in the Thrawn duology the Republic beat the Remnants of the Empire so hard that they were forced to sign a peace treaty backed by Grand Admiral Pelleon and his fleet.
I thought it was a nice homage to the older movies when Sabine fell into that lava pit and screamed in horror as 95% of her body burned but the medical droids were miraculously able to save her leaving only the faintest of scars in the shape of a heart to remind her to never settle, never give up on your dreams!
@@Valen-mh9fhA Lightsaber is a Lightsaber... they are all of equal strength. Its not "Canon" anymore, but Mace Windu did have a Unique Lightsaber but its abilities were only useable BY Mace Windu. Count Dooku also had a unique Lightsaber, but its the wielder... not the blade itself that matters.
For me it was tfa. I knew from that movie exactly what Disney star wars was gonna be. I was baffled everyone seemed to love it, really glad everyone agrees now it doesn't hold up at all.
man I am so glad I checked out during TFA, after I heard that disney bought SW and canceled the EU, I do not regret it and I was a teenager at the time (how the fuck am I 25 now?)
I just love that Ashoka is greeted by the face of her dead Master and all he wants to do is teach her nothing, swing a sword at her for no reason, and fuck off into the moonlight. Like, how do you waste Hayen Christiansen twice?!?!?!
Aren't you happy to see him? He pulled of a great job and we show good lightsaber combat and clone wars in live action, can't you appreciate something always wanting more, why so griddy?
@@generalgrievous3760 While hinted at, I thought it would have been AMAZING if they made him like he was originally pitched for the sequel trilogy (can see the sketches in the "Art of" star wars books for the sequels) as this half vader, half anakin force ghost all tattered and discombibulated with this ominous tortured presence - like a Dr. Jekyl/ Mr. Hyde vibe.
@@generalgrievous3760 I'm sorry, but the show needs to hsve an actual reason for bringing back legacy characters if they want to make them relevabt to the plot. Im not gonna cheer for keys being jangled in my face. Without reason, all this says is Disney has the money to bring back Hayden. Thats all.
@@sinistersweet5236 so Anakin Finishing his Padawa's lesson isn't meaningful and it's just random as it doesn't change or contribute to mostly Ashoka's character development? I'm sorry but you just overhate for no reason , I understand hating sequels or bobf but this...
Tragic when the best portrayal of Ahsoka's character comes from a teenage girl in flashbacks, than from the main actor playing the title role in the whole series 🤦🤦
it´s even more tragic when you realize that the role of the young actress is just nostalgia bait since in the story it´s just an imagination by the adult Ahsoka and not an actual flashback.
@@TyarrkIt’s sad that Anakin and Young Ashoka are the only good parts of the show, but have ver little screen time. They sho you of have just done the adventures of Anakin and Young Ahsoka, that would’ve been way better
@@Rar830 wouldn´t that be just copying the clone wars? I don´t understand why they even bothered with making an Asoka life action show to begin with. Didn´t she die at the end of Rebels? it´s like Disney has no creative minds among them anymore. They can just repeat the same old stuff over and over again.
Yep we won against the empire, lets immediately destroy all our ships, the hutts, pirates, independent scavenger groups, mandos will just choose not to attack us
@@hoos3014 That’s the US. The US ALWAYS did that, though that time they still had a functioning Navy and a large National Guard. When all your enemies are on the other side of the ocean, having a large standing army doesn’t seem all that important when you supposedly have plenty of time to build back up without fear of invasion. The Allies then proceeded to sign arms limitation treaties with each other. No one was stupid enough to unilaterally disarm entirely. Britain cut back on its army but kept its navy strong. France sorta did the reverse, though with a focus on fortifications.
How tired I am of seeing Ahsoka in these new series, even when she really does not have to be there, cannot be understated enough. Star Wars has now become Marvel.
You mad? the show is for her, like what do you expect from the Ashoka show lol , you would prefer Disney to do sequel related shows, this show is good so get over your constant hate
@@generalgrievous3760"the show is good" Repeats a map quest several times,has someone survive a lightsaber to the chest, expects the viewer to have watched other shows before it yet has characters forget things from those shows (Sabine should know that Kanan couldnt see yet he could fight), enemies lacking tactics, the World between worlds becoming even more confusing, the New Republic being made to look even more incompetent that they should have crumbled, stiff directing (take a shot every time Ashoka and Hera fold their arms). Yeah."great" show
@@hk1371 nothing is perfect not even the originals and and prequels, you guys want perfection, which I think you don't know what exactly you expect, this show is very entertaining, a real star Wars fan would have seen the shows would and enjoy the clone Wars callbacks, the live action rebel characters and the "Star Wars " This show has, We just live in a crazy criticized world where everything is hated star Wars related, like if star Wars was made during this time, it would flop lol
@@generalgrievous3760 ahhh the ol "nothing is perfect" argument. No one is saying the OT and Prequels are perfect. But that doesnt then allievate the issues that I presented. We are meant to improve from past mistakes, not add to them with no care. And why do you think people have a dislike of the show? It's because they love star wars. People who dont care at all about star Wars arent the ones dissecting it. Do you care about the faults of Utopia? Of the MKX comic? Or any other IP you dont take part in? Because then, if not, you cant hate them because there is no reason to. You can like the show, that's fine. No one can or should take that away from you. But there as flaws that are legitimate in the writing and directing. I love the Prequels but I know all the flaws and issues I have with them. Same with the OT. And a 'real star wars fan' shouldnt be needing to do homework. What if I was a person that didnt like animation? Do I need to then push myself through that to understand what's happening in a show with a different art form? Sorry, but that's just bad storytelling when you have to make your fans go to various stories to understand 1 character
@@hk1371 you don't like the animation that's fine but that doesn't mean the fact that it's essential for the plot and the story, the clone Wars are too big for it too being live action, if you don't watch the animation then don't bother watching the show, Star Wars animation is a part of Overall star Wars so get over it and give it a try, animation it's not so bad especially later seasons
I was a huge Star Wars fan as a kid and now it's gotten to the point where I enjoy watching them loose millions of dollars and slowly burn it to the ground, and I feel like I'm not the only one. Hopefully whoever buys the IP when Disney is done loosing money on it does a better job.
Same. I used to snatch up anything star wars when I saw it in the store, but now I find myself walking by in disgust. You couldn't pay me to take any SW merch - that's how much they've ruined this IP for the diehard fans (imo)
I think the best thing for it at this point would be to end. The damage is already done. Like nerdrotic says it’s only a zombie franchise at this point
@@NotUnymousI’ve heard nothing but high praise about Andor. Only criticism that I know of has been that it had a slow start, but as other people have pointed out a lot of set up was required so that was a necessary buildup. Personally not my kind of show, but it had the potential to be huge…..well so long as anybody watched it which hardly anyone did. Pretty sad, but that’s where Star Wars is at.
@@meal_team_six It sucks for me because I was a big Star Wars fan and only got Star Wars merch for Christmas as a kid. When I got my first job in 2011, I could then go buy whatever Star Wars merch I wanted, but then Disney owned Star Wars in 2012 and it's just pointless to collect now unless it's George's movies
I don't see why. It's just another GL character for Disney to disassemble and destroy before their very eyes. And I can't be the only one - but the diversity casting is so jarring and in your face that it breaks immersion knowing they weren't hired for their acting talents, but because the checked skin color and gender boxes. If GL: had done this for all the other movies this wouldn't be an issue - Disney has more diverse faces than actual diverse alien species.
It's fascinating, & not in any good way, when fans react so emotionally strong to Ahsoka reuniting with Anakin (& in live-action on top of it) than Ahsoka herself that knew Anakin better than any fan watching. The fans are super happy to see him but she barely expresses anything at all. Last they met he was Vader & almost killed her. Has Ahsoka met Luke yet when this show takes place & had the BIG talk about Anakin & his redemption? Does she know of his redemption when she sees him here or doesn't she have a clue? Would be nice if the script & Ahsoka expressed anything so I know when in the jumpy timeline we are at & how she, as the lead protagonist, feels & thinks about anything. Ahsoka used to be a lot more expressive, even as she got older. Her relationship with Anakin was far beyond student & master, they were like siblings. She shouldn't be as over-the-top expressive as these fans seeing Anakin show up but a little bit of happiness just to see him would have helped ME to feel anything underneath the surface. Because that is what all this was, just surface. No content. OK, Ahsoka meets Anakin again. He seems a bit pleased at least to see her again. She on the other hand holds back from us whatever she's feeling & asks him no questions, doesn't ask him anything regarding their last duel that nearly killed her or mentions having met Luke if she has done that by this time etc. Another irony is that Rosario has always been praised to be this great actress & elsewhere she has been! While Hayden has always gotten the worst criticism for being a terrible actor. What I saw now last was reverse! He was a lot better than her in expressing what the character is supposed to be expressing. I get the feeling that Rosario simply does what Dave tells her & goes home with the paycheck while Hayden still respects the SW he used to belong to.
Did you even watch the show(s)? It's established that Ahsoka has trauma because she feels guilty for the creation of Darth Vader. She isn't very excited to see him, because he is the embodiment of (what she thinks) her failure. The last lesson is that she can be who she wants to be, and afterwards she's much more expressive and filled with positive energy, look for example at the last lines of dialogue.
I was hoping you'd mention the map that pointed out Thrawn and Ezra's exact location. Who made that map? Didn't the flying whales at the end of the battle of Lothal take Thrawn and Ezra to an unknown part of the galaxy at lightspeed? How could someone possibly know where they were and make a mysterious, well guarded space map in an ancient temple that points to their exact location? It just doesn't sense. It also gave me "Rise of Skywalker" vibes with Rey"s quest to find a dagger that would point out the exact location of the Wayfinder that would lead to the resurrected Palpatine. Its just so ridiculous and cringeworthy.
Original lines from Dave: Rebels Season 2 finale Ahsoka: "I will avenge my master." Darth Vader: "Revenge is not the Jedi way." Ahsoka: "I'm no Jedi."😁
The worst part about the Anakin cameo is that Lucasfilm will undoubtedly take notice that most people are only tuning into Ahsoka for the Anakin cameo, incentivizing them to crux more of their shows on fan service and cameos
Yep. The Star Wars fandom has confirmed to me that SW is dead. Disney is reasonably thinking: 'wait, so we can do a very bad show, but if we include a cameo in the season, it will be a success! People will forget all the bs and talk about the cameo! Yay!'
they've lost so much brain power that the only ideas they can think of now is which star wars actor they can bring back and shove into a costume for their next uninteresting shit show
@@Yarblocosifiliticoyeah, it’s so pathetic. Star Wars is nothing but bland slop at this point, and no amount of cameos will make that sustainable in the long run.
Pretty much. I already canceled my D+ subscription but I still got a few days left. Literally fast forwarded to the part of the new episode that had Hayden in it then hopped off when it was over. That being said it was good to see him in the role again he was great
Except a few episode of the mandalorian season 1 and the first three episodes of andor It's been years since I didn't watch anything from disney star wars. But the robot reviews hell yeah go for it !!!
They spent a lot of time in this show with their arms crossed, saying things slow with lots of time waiting for replies. Its so so bad. Disney can't do star wars films and they can't do tv either, what a sad time.
Its like filler so that you only get about 15 minutes of show. You also notice that Anakin did nothing to give Ahsoka closure about the feelings of abandonment she had for him as felt in Rebels. Kind of pointless to have 30 minutes of flashback if she's not also getting closure. I could see that more coloring her fear to not train Sabine.
Disney made lightsabers worthless. In the both Original and Prequel Trilogies and the older shows and games. When someone takes a fatal direct hit from a lightsaber, they are either severely injured, missing limbs, or....they're dead. And yet in modern Disney Star Wars. Character get hits with Lightsaber. They later walk it off like it's nothing. It's so asinine as hell. They made a respectable and iconic weapon into an complete and utter joke.
More of that they killed lightsabers personality. Now it’s just a katana with cool bright blade. How the hell people eating this shit - I don’t understand. Star Wars rip
@@davidbowles7281 what he did? You are blind? Oh, no, you are using ZATOCHI! Mazafakers even brought the names of the moves from Japan! Cmon bro, stop eating disney shit!
All those enemies are either just a coincidence or the wind. Afterall if one random person can't find any evidence of them then they probably don't exist.
2:14 Carrie Fischer showed more emotion and intensity in that 1-second clip from Empire (pain, fear, heartbreak, vulnerability, resolve, strength), they every actor combined in this show for it's entire run.
Thanks to Redlettermedia and Mike specifically for creating those wonderful reviews that spawned a thousand channels like this one. I wish Mike would make more Plinkett reivews. Maybe it's not necessary anymore because of channels like this that continue the work he started, but damn it I still want it.
I feel like that montage of reaction channels over Anakin could be replaced by a montage of dogs taking a sh!t and it would more accurately reflect Disney Star Wars in general.
When Ahsoka jumped out of the water on Kamino and started singing "part of your world" was so awe inspiring, this non-binary birthing person cried so much, I had to replace my covid mask twice. Finally, I feel represented.
Its insane to me how much praise its getting. I think disney has been feeding us garbage for so long that now when its less garbage then before its apparently AMazInG
@@j02savage9 it really isnt that good. Is that not okay? I loved andor but didn’t like asohka, she has no character, dialogue is poor and world building is poor.
@@fluffaduck6206 it seems like that because you’re a fake fan and haven’t watched all the Contant. People argue you can watch a Harry Potter movie in the middle, and it makes sense to what level we might understand that piece but not the entire story Star Wars you have to watch that’s why we can pick up fake fans and laugh a guys that make videos like these. Disney has fucked up Star Wars a lot but it’s Ashoka It’s not that. I get that you hate Disney but you probably can’t even tell me what’s garbage about it other than what your favorite TH-camrs have said.
@@j02savage9 So watching every clone wars, rebels episode, every prequal and sequal movie, every side movie. And yet Im not a true fan and “dont understand”. Why don’t you ask a question instead of accusing me of things that are just wrong ive watched all the content EVEN THE 2003 ANIMATED SERIES.
@@j02savage9 Asohka’s character arc has not transitioned well from clone wars to mandolorian to the Asohka show. Same with sabine, also the lightsaber stab is completely rediculous - its worse than the previous stabs because SHE HAS NO FORCE ABILITIES so it makes it even dumber she survived. The space battles were absolutely trash, do you know that the ship they are in is a FREIGHTER, most ships in star wars that size can only take a few hits from a star fighter, but that ship seems to be tankier than a frigate (with loss power btw). Another thing thats wrong, is the hyperspace creating an ionic effect on the X wings when that has NEVER happened before in all of star wars. Every soldier is incompetent, if the bad guys wanted to win instantly without any risks - WHY NOT send every soldier, the 3 siths all at once, not one by one. Its stupid. Sabine also punched a pure armoured metal droid… we see this in clone wars where a clone breaks his hand when he punches a droid. The droids who self destructed had NUKE-LIKE capabilities - something that has never been possible in star wars without a DEATH STAR or star destroyers or rhidonian. Why did they even blow up a temple where they needed an artefact? Why did the imperial officer shout “FOR THE EMPIRE” before attacking? Why didn’t asohka sense the danger? Why doesnt force sensitive beings in the show sense anything? Now because you assume Im some black and white animal here are the things I like. Special effects are decent, lightsaber choreography is average, idea is good, the Baylon is awesome. Andor has raised the bar, for a nobody of a character.
I actually did laugh my ass off when I saw the space suit scene where the ship somehow had the gravity of earth yet it was only at the end we were treated to a little side joke about how there is now suddenly no gravity in space. AS SOON as I saw her flip I was oh well she's fucked... but no, this truly has become space fantasy and has dropped all of the sci out of sci-fi. I know there are a lot of ridiculous things in star wars from a science perspective, but this one takes the cake for me. It was fucking hilarious to watch.
All it took was Hayden coming back in a flashback for people to call this the greatest TV episode in the history of Star Wars, it’s pretty much the Luke Skywalker member berries moment from Mando S2 and in isolation this flashback is cool but it doesn’t really belong in this show morso Kenobi if it was actually done right. (At least 40% of the show should have been flashbacks that’s shared between Obi-Wan and Vader as they both reflect on their lives, while the other 60% is Obi-Wan’s daily life on Tatooine.)
Was this the plan to have Hayden all along, or are they DESPERATELY needing CAMEOS already......Usually shows that are running on empty will have CAMEOS....but this early?????? Of course Star Wars is not as big as fans think..It's a very small universe that NEEDS an emperor, Darth/Anakin, and droids....
the show is amazing wtf are u talking about everyhing about sabine is literally what i’ve waited years for….. not to mention the clone wars scene and we see adult asoka dealing with her trauma and grief like dude the stupid “she crosses her arms” is fuckinf stupid SHE ALWAYS DID THIS DID U GUYS NEVER WATCH THE CARTOON and JEDI HAVE BEEN FIGHTING IN SPACE LIKE THAT FOR YEARS AGAIN READ THE COMICS AND CARTOONS
They’re “reaction TH-camrs” that’s kinda their whole shtick is to overreact to the most basic shit. Lol watch those same ppl when they were watching the flaming shitstorm train wreck that was book of Boba Fett. It’s pure shenanigans and they get access to exclusive stuff from Disney for acting like that
When Ahsoka saw Anakin smile at the end of the episode and then the post-credit scene showed Indy behind Anakin smiling and behind Indy was Will Smith smiling and behind Will Smith was Chris Rock holding a baseball bat winking at the camera had to be the single best moment in television history. I'm so excited to see where they take this!
Mon Mothma using a lightsaber to quickly heat a pack of ramen noodles was a bit of a stretch. But when she said the ramen noodle cup was made from Bezkar, shit just got real!!!
What’s great is that all the characters, no matter what part of the galaxy or if they are aliens, all speak as if they stepped off a bus in Los Angeles.
When Ahsoka inverted her spaceship and gave the imperial tie fighter pilot the finger while Sabine in the navigator seat took a polaroid really set the tone for the series. The future is female!
Damn someone must not be interested in ahsoka to spend time commenting more then 15 times about it….. if you can nothing good to say then just don’t say anything.
15:45 I remember saying how order 66 was pointless since so many Jedi survived, and man, did I stir up a shit show I honestly wouldn’t mind if we saw a few Jedi survived, like Cal Kestis (probably because he’s an actual interesting character) but ‘the purge’ really doesn’t feel like a purge when only about 15% of the Jedi died
I remember in the books, which made a lot more sense, the New Republic would confiscate any and all Imperial ships they could find and just rename them to something less ominous, since larger Imperial ships had names like Annihilator or Vengeance or something like that. Not exactly great ship names for a supposedly peaceful republic. But not only did they actively use captured Star Destroyers in their fleet, I'm pretty sure they built a bunch more of them, since it made more sense than spending absurd amounts of money to retool captured Imperial shipyards that could crank out ISDs pretty quickly. They always had some conflict they were fighting and needed ships, so no one really cared what they were sending into battle, as long as it was effective haha
To be fair, the only thing I like about this show is Hayden's Anakin performance and TCW flashback scenes. Everything else is so weird. Episode 1-4 weren't good at all for me, but I did enjoy episode 5, I guess they bought me with Hayden, I guess having any glimpse of George Lucas Star Wars in their shows is the only thing I'll ever like until they start making good directed stories that don't mess up what Lucas already established. Thank you for the video Robot Head
That scene with the 'Top General' overlay... could work... has worked, in Mass Effect, with Sheppard telling the Council about the Reapers, and the Council just hand waving the report away, because they don't want to see the bigger picture, and Sheppard's only a human after all..
The thing that I found funny Ahsoka is trying to train Sabin who doesn't even feel the force but Jason who's father was a Jedi no don't train someone who can't feel the force
Only listening to this video, I genuinely cannot tell the difference between Ashoka, and Sabine. Their tone and cadence is so monotone and similar to each other, I genuinely can’t tell the difference between them
Disney once had the Opportunity to give Ashoka a incredible Arc: She takes over Luke's final training (It's never explained how he became the a**-kicking jedi between 5 & 6). I always loved that Idea, its like... poetry. Becaus it rhymes&sh*t. Imagine a Ashoka show which explains what the f*ck she was doing between 3 and 4, somehow finding and then training the Son of Anakin, and then dying to save him/someone else in the FInale. If done right, i wouldn't even break Canon, and it would actually ... i dunno... ADD SOMETHING?
What a terrible godawful idea! Are you Dave Filoni by any chance? Mary Sue here already took Luke's place, importance, unique aspect, and even story after ROTJ. Now you want her to train him, too? No thanks
We already know what she was doing between 3 and 4 tho. She was in Rebels, which ends right around the Battle of Yavin… And I’d rather that not happen with Luke. Luke needs to be far above Ahsoka. I want Grandmaster Luke back. The guy who didn’t even _look_ at a Sith Lord and the Sith flew into a wall and couldn’t move lol
@@lvplvp you would have to sacrifice all of that storyline, same as rebels, it would work with the modern diseny canon. But i bet it would be better than the shit we received from diseny
@@jerrymuffin8276 Nobody pointed a gun to our heads and forced us to clap to downright shit storytelling we are served. The fans could've stopped supporting these awful shows by not watching them. Alas, let's all clap for member berries and mediocre-to-shit stories. Ahsoka Sue should've been dead in clown wars like GL wanted but Filoni can't get enough of his OC. Disney and Star Wars fans are both morons and deserve each other. The worst thing is they both are ruining it for anyone else.
1:10 this scene is so much stupider when you think about how fast those spaceships should be going. literally faster than a speeding bullet and she moonwalks around them 🤣🤣
i also love how the whole thing is motivated by the supposed survival of Thrawn. Five episodes in and not only have we not seen the guy, or any sign of his activity, but we have no idea where the rumor even came from. If I wanted the Rebels crew to combat a returned Thrawn, it would be something like this: New Republic forces disappear in the Outer Rim. When an investigation team is sent there to investigate they find the remains of a space battle so decisive and devastating that it reminds them of Thrawn. More such battle scenes are discovered and soon everyone is spooked about his possible return. When it is confirmed he is indeed back (in this galaxy, not a different one) a huge fleet is amassed that includes the Lothal Rebels. They however, Hera included, refuse because the loss of Kanaan and Ezra traumatized them and they are not yet ready to revisit that conflict. Without their help the fleet is defeated with colossal loss of life including perhaps Mon Mothma herself. The crew feels responsible and decides to lead a counterattack as atonement for their mistake. Using their experience in dealing with Thrawn, they actually defeat him.
Hayden was on the screen for 5 minutes and his IRL lightsaber skills put Rosario to shame. She's so slow and clumsy compared to him, more physical training is needed if she's to be portraying a Jedi as nimble as Ahsoka (who's supposes to use the fastest lightsaber Form).
10:48 I think that's a fundamentally flawed way of thinking about the Empire. That's like saying you have to work for the government to support your country. Or that Nazis were only the soldiers fighting on the front, and only in Germany. I think "For the Empire" doesn't mean they were necessarily working directly for the Empire as it means they supported their way of thinking and/or how things were under their control.
I laughed at the line "We have former imperials working at every level of the new republic government," because I believe Disney is one Freudian slip away from saying, "We have deplorable American patriots working at every level of the new republic government." I also laughed at the Kathleen Kennedy fans joy-crying at the sight of the wax-face Anakin. They're like sheep getting exciting at seeing red clover they haven't seen in years. Eat up!
With all the truly compelling television we've had in recent years, I'm surprised more fans are not asking for more complexity, etc., from their favorite genre shows. When we fans settle for less, sadly that's all we are likely to get. Given her portrayal was like she took valium, I had hoped for a far more emotionally impactful change from *Ahsoka.* *Anakin* and *Ahsoka* would often stand with their arms crossed in _The Clone Wars._ Looks pretty cool. *_Unfortunately,_* that does not come across the same in live action. _Not at all the same._
Remember the officers in the OT that resembled smart, serious, hard working men despite being the bad guys. Like war movies from the fifties. I really miss that type of character, now we get dumb clowns, angry little men or evil cos evil cannibal
When I saw Anakin my jaw dropped. The editing during that sequence was truly amazing. The fight between ahsoka and Anakin was lacking because.. Ahsokas actor isn't athletic.. But then I remembered all the other scenes.
@@TheOutlandoall I’m gonna say is the Anakin-Vader walking scene is objectively hard. Nondebatable. I don’t watch the show but I saw that scene and got goosebumps.
The LoTR films were a lot of walking around, Ashoka is a lot of wooden characters pacing the floor, crossing their arms, talking and pausing way too long with occasional lightsaber fights that are awkward and slow.
Imagine being at the function and people are talking about what they do for a living and its your turn and you say. "I make fun of a movie series that was and still is intended for kids" lmao
Hey Legends! Are you enjoying the Ahsoka show? And if you are, did you watch the cartoons? Hope you are all having a wonderful day and if you enjoyed this video please consider Liking, Subscribing and hitting that Bell so you don’t miss a video. Cheers!
Did you watch the cartoons?
I thought the Samurai imagery in episode 4 was quite good. The lightsaber fights with Ahsoka were quite enjoyable, a more direct influence from Samurai cinema.
I have totally avoided this show cause I know it’s going to be bad from the start, what I’ve heard from my brother hasn’t helped my opinion
I have been enjoying it a lot actually. I have watched the cartoons like rebels and clone wars. I understand why people dislike the show but I think there are good parts of Ashoka. We will have to wait and see how it plays out in these last 3 episodes.
No thanks, passsss......
The cat on Ahsoka’s head is genius. What has been seen - cannot be unseen.
better than Thaddeus Squidhead
Lucas' Star Wars: "It's like poetry, it rhymes."
Disney Star Wars: "It's like pottery, it chimes."
More like it shines. It’s shiny, so buy it.
'It's like pottery, we broke it multiple times' would make more sense in Disney's case, but I appreciate the rhyme
Funny how Hayden showed us in just a few minutes of screen time, what a little bit of sword training can do!!!! When he starts dueling with Ashoka is like he is an OP video game boss that you shouldn't be fighting at the time and level!
Rosario Dawson moves like a grandma when she fights Hayden. Yet she's the same age as Hayden. Rosario needs to step up.
@@TheBigExclusivelet’s be fair it’s because Disney doesn’t want to the money and effort into a fight choreographer or experts to train her.
It wasn't just a little bit. He trained extensively because he and Lucas respected the story and characters.
Literally.I loved seeing hayden use a saber again the choreography from literally everyone else in this show isn’t very good at all.Its like they move in slow motion it’s so odd
Ahsokas actor if she cudve fought then wow the fight between Anakin wud be crazy...
Hayden had to do saber twirls just to make it interesting
I never understand why people think Obi didn't know Anakin became Vader when he saw a security recording of Anakin killing younglings and Sidious calling him Lord Vader...
LORD Vader not DARTH Vader! See? Not the same person at all! - Disney
Only women can know anything. Obi Wan wasn’t intellectually capable of understanding what he just saw.
I think its probably bc he thought he killed anakin
As much as I hate defending the Disney crap, the point was that Obi Wan thought Anikan/Vader was dead. Disneys implication was that he was living under a rock on Tatooine and had no idea Vader (or Anikan) was still around.
Obi-wan was just confused about this guy called Darth Vader, because he thought that Anakin's new name was actually "Lore Devader."
You playing the clips of the dialogue in the show was actually really smart. Just let the show speak for itself in telling us how terrible the dialogue is. So much of it is just two to three words at a time.
"Are you worried?"
"No."
"Good."
"Should I be?"
"What?"
"Worried."
"Nope."
Like, that is such a gluten-free exchange that I've actually lost calories just listening to it.
When the dialouge is 1/2 a page of the script total
I will never see Ahsoka again without thinking there's a dead cat on her head.
if it helps, it could just be sleeping
Now I'll never see her the same way again. 😂
😂
She looks ridiculous

One thing to probably remember is that when Dave made the Clone Wars show, Lucas would assist from time to time. Feedback, ideas, changes, etc. And Clone Wars turned out pretty well.
Here... he answers to Kathleen Kennedy...
Ah yes, the cancer worm on Star Wars itself.
Amen
@@solarydaysmaybe because its his story? No he did not come up with all the details, but the central plot and themes that span all the way up until disney took over is his work, or directly inspired by his work
@@solarydays so wrong. he had the whole original trilogy written down. its lucas's story. other people he left put in a few ideas. if lucas says something isnt right, then it isnt right. dont like it? go write your own trilogy
@@solarydays Lucas is very creative, the original trilogy and the prequel trilogy were all his stories, his ideas.
The issue he has is getting that idea of his written down and executed correctly, that's where other directors helped like filters to stand his work up. The prequels are an example of that filter not being there; poor, memes, bad, but the story and world building were amazing and did nothing but prop the Star Wars franchise up even higher, if a bit shakily.
The sequels are pretty... and that's about it. No plan, no vision, no care, all it did was destroy what came before.
Sabine literally lived with a blind Jedi for months, and ran rebel missions with him. She would never ask that question in a million years: "I can't see, how am I supposed to fight?" The right thing for the script to have made her say would be "I'm not Kanan, you know I can't use the force like that, and I can't do that blind-fight crap".
'memberberries are more important to Filoni and Disney than continuity and logical writing.
and the worst thing about that is that it's the same creator. It's like he forgot his own stuff. Hilarious and pathetic at the same time.
See that's the thing. Casual fans don't even know who she is much less how she relates to anything. Those of us who simply saw the movies may have heard of Ashoka but other than that... nothing.
Clearly just a cheap way to make A New Hope quote. Or Dave completely forgot about his own character being blind
@@DaNinja60there are times when casual fans can be left not knowing, though. Not the Anakin fight; I think they needed to give y’all more exposition. But for a small quip like that? Think of how many small quips there are in the OT that you have to look into to know the full meaning of lol. Power converters? Kessel Run? And in the PT, like Darth Plagueis and Sifo Dias.
The level of ability with a lightsaber that hayden has is leagues above the others ..after watching all the Disney shows and the sequels is like watching fans cosplay badly ..then hayden pulled his out against ahsoka and u could just feel the difference he came across as so much more powerful and graceful with it ..the reason they had to zoom in so much when ahsoka beat anakin is because it looked so bad ans fake so they zoomed in to the point u couldnt see what was happening u just see their faces and suddenly ahsoka has his saber ..the prequel actors and saber choreographers are levels above the disney ones its not even close ..it was like watching 2 amateur boxers then letting Mike Tyson into the ring Hayden is masterful with a lightsaber everything from his stance his cadence his movements is so pleasing on the eye he oozes charisma he weilds that lightsaber like a real swordsman and u can feel the difference
tbf anakin let her win
Watch the sequence slowly and you will realize Ahsoka actually cuts herself into two while grabbing Anakin's lightsaber. More so than trying to hide Rosairo Dawson's incompetence, the showrunners were actually trying to hide their incompetence because noone could think of a better choreography for that scene and they just decided 'heck, we'll zoom in and our stupid audience will not even recognize what's going on'.
He’s sooooo goood!!! He remembers all his old moves! And they look great as always! Such an elegant thing to watch, shame nothing else Disney has strayed from the dance aesthetic of lightsaber duels, easily my favorite part of the prequels.
@@bimbuerton362 these guys trained their butts of back in the day. Plus they had Nick Gillard. He is probably the reason why Hayden's still got it after all these years. He looks really comfortable with the saber like a seasoned fighter.
ok i am no star wars fans,
i only watched/binged first half of
" andor" and i liked it a lot but i get that it is not "true" star wars or whatever. everything else i tried to watch is so
@$$ with garbage scripts.
but holy damn, Hayden with his lightsaber moves looked so slick af in these scenes it was so damm cool
thankfully we have youtube and i dont have to sit through dogsh^t slop that disney churns out to see good bits. Seeing Hayden in this scene kinda just made me sad it made wish star wars as franchise were good lmao
I want to state in 2000, I shared a bunk with a kid that was a "Star Wars" genius. He's read the books and everything, and he probably knows more Star Wars than anyone I knew IRL.
What did the Rebels do immediately upon taking control? Paint Rebel insignia on the Star Destroyers and use them as flagships, and stuff them with X-Wings.
Not tear them apart to make more "Rebel" ships.
Facts! I think your comment illustrates the current writing teams' disinterest in the source material or extended universe.
What exactly are "The Resistance" even resisting when they are the New Republic and had the power after ROTJ
Well to be fair those ships had kinda become synonymous with the Empire…so some variating makes sense
You bunked with little kids?! Okay there, Michael Jackson.
@@Borgassmord Did it occur to you that I would've been a child 24 years ago? No? Stop being a drama-kicker for the fun of it.
One of the biggest changes I hate in Disney is the fact that everybody seems to know Anakin became Vader when it was always accepted that Obi-Wan and the Emperor, Yoda, padme,and Bale organa knew the whole time and Tarkin eventually figured out who Vader was because he's smart.
Accidentally Tweeted by the Emperor while he was on the loo, pretty much everyone knows .
agreed, its just rinse and repeat and its diluting the grandeur that Vader once had
They forgo 💀
I'd add Thrawn to that list because he also spent time with Anakin and Vader and he's a genius, so makes sense he figured it out eventually similar to Tarkin
@@nikolaift4906 I think thrawn does in rebels the Disney show. But in the original (correct) EU, I don't know if he did or not. Id be okay with thrawn figuring it out as well.
As someone who did see Rebels the blind training scene was baffling. Kanan was at one point blinded and retrained to fight blind. The dude even trained her to fight while he was blind!
Yeah it’s not like he had magical force powers that allowed him to see with more then eyes
@@kalebdiaz1671yeah and her aptitude in the force is even worse 😊
@@jackaroostertoo917 think we r talking about 2 different people
@@kalebdiaz1671 no. sabine cant use the force like he did to try to make up for his lack of sight. That was the point: she wouldnt be able to fight blind like the dude they keep bringing up, because shes not adept at the force.
@@rebotsomat I was talking about the blind space wizard (Kanan) being that good for that reason not Sabine lol
AI can only aggregate and regurgitate but not create, which is what human creatives are already doing at Lucasfilm. No wonder why they are so concerned!
Bingo!
I would trust AI to write a decently watchable life action Clone Wars adaptation. Anakin is popular enough that it would even be a financial success.
There are many Disney writers I wouldn't trust to do the same.
I'm not so sure. Art itself is a combination of different influences; pure 'originality' does not exist, because no one lives in a vacuum. So I see no theoretical reason AI will not be able to create stuff that feels completely new.
After all, artists get better not only by creating, but mostly by consuming. It's impossible to reinvent a genre without having consumed a lot of it. And AI can do that at speed that no human will ever be capable of.
Leftwinger writers cannot create because they are leftwingers and thus are without souls.
I've had AI make some pretty fucking interesting stories before, at least better than whatever Ashoka is
I remember the old EU. In the old EU the empire didn’t die at Endor. It didn’t die after Thrawn. It didn’t die with the birth of the new Jedi order. It took decades for them to finally be stopped and even then the empire had proven to be a major threat due to having several leaders forming their own pocket empires. It took the rebels until eight years after Endor to actually take corusant because the governor of that world simply took over the empire and it was business as usual. The empire had dark Jedi working for them from various sects and most of them weren’t Sith. Hell most of them didn’t even carry red lightsabers. The fall of the empire took a lot of fighting to do and it cost the new republic millions of men and fleets of ships and personnel to do it because the empire was a major power whos main weakness was the heavy handed tactics they used often only worked for a brief time before they lost their momentum and were ultimately out maneuvered. And when palpatine returned in the EU it was as a clone and there was not a “chosen one” prophecy at the time of writing that story. (Although it was still stupid writing by Kevin J Anderson who most fans agree was the Dave Filoni of the old Star Wars series back in the nineties. The mother dicker literally made a Death Star knock off super weapon that was just the laser part being piloted by a Hutt🤦🏻).
The new EU is just garbage all around. The empire fell after one major fight. The new republic is corrupt right from day one. The Jedi were completely inconsequential. The empire had legions of Sith and dark Jedi who all dressed the same and used the same weapons. And when palpatine returned in this version there is a “chosen one” prophecy that now makes even less sense than it did before (seriously how do you have a Christ figure in a pantheistic zen setting where there is no God.). Which Dave Filoni made even worse by literally making it so the force has Gods now🤦🏻.
The prequels may have be the point where Star Wars took a turn for the worst but Disney Star Wars is where the series just flat out died in a puddle of its own shit while mumbling incoherently. It’s such a mess anymore that I can’t even watch the originals without cringing because in the back of my mind all I’m thinking is “Every last one of you dies miserably and as a complete failure and nothing you did mattered”. Hell I can’t even comfort myself by just saying “there’s only three” because all I think about now when I see the damn title is how badly this series got and how much my time and investment was wasted. How my live for the series was rewarded by having my favorite characters turned into jokes and killed off (and now there literally is no fixing this because with Carrie dead, and Harrison well past giving a shit, there is now second chance to get the band back together.). There is no going back to fix the damage now even if they retconned the entire Disney canon there is never going to be a reunion between Han, Luke and Leia. All that we fans can do is move on from that and I’m so far gone now I don’t even want to look at the title because it’s just a reminder that all of that love and excitement and joy was for nothing. I feel like Harrison Fords character in The Mosquito Coast when he describes his mothers death. “People called it the height of callousness when I walked away from her. It’s not true. I loved her too much to watch her die”. And that’s how I feel about Star Wars now. I can’t watch it anymore because it’s just too mentally taxing to waste time on it anymore. How anyone could watch this after The force Awakens is a sign of deep denial or no higher brain function.
I feel the same way. America and the West are declining fast. Star Wars is just a symptom of a failing empire. Good times make weak men. Weak men make hard times.
@@TheMeatwade bruh
Lucas didn't write that either.
@@davidbowles7281 which part? The EU, the prequels or the OT?
Well said. Just go on with the original trilogy and the novels that come after and don’t worry about the other garbage. The prequels were kinda fun visually, but the story wasn’t necessary and the novels aren’t really necessary, unless you want to tie in Rogue Planet to the Yuuhzan Vong series. EU will always be canon in my book and it did the characters justice. We knew in our hearts that after the brilliance of the EU, they were never going to be able to do justice on screen. There was no way there were going to touch Luke’s incredible character arc, so they just killed him off. Doesn’t count as far as I’m concerned. What I read was all approved by Lucas, so it’s canon to me and always will be.
Please don’t ever stop making these. You’re one of the only people to hold them accountable. Thank you for everything you do.
In the original expanded universe, the new republic made an entire military modernization program to build newer and more powerful ships and vehicles for the army specifically to shit on the remaining imperial stuff like star destroyers and AT-ATs, they even replaced the X-wing with a shiney new fighter and they went out of their way to make sure that nothing like what is happening in disney woild ever happen.
Would have been nice to see that new republic instead.
The old EU New Republic also was actively looking for any ship it could use. It would never have scrapped a star destroyer. That's why they were trying to recruit smuggler ships and wanted the Katana fleet dreadnaughts from the clone wars in the thrawn trilogy. Stupid Marvel comics did the same thing, giving the Empire all the ships from the original trilogy only like days after order 66. Old EU had a much slower transition from Revenge of the sith tech to OT tech. Vader for example continued to fly black painted jedi starfighters for a long time before getting the prototype advanced TIE.
@@RoboticPope filoni did the same thing with the clone wars, the old clone wars comics the CIS was beating the republic in the first two years and they didn't have venators at the time, now they just spam them.
I guess that's another thing to hate filoni for to, he is what caused the EU to be erased in the first place it's rather convenient that his clone wars show is still considered canon is it not?
Disney's version of the new republic is run by absolute idiots. I remember in the Thrawn duology the Republic beat the Remnants of the Empire so hard that they were forced to sign a peace treaty backed by Grand Admiral Pelleon and his fleet.
Let’s call it “New New Republic”
But then that would cut into them X-Wing sales. X-Wings and Tie-Fighters will be the only ships we will have in Star Wars now until the end of time.
I thought it was a nice homage to the older movies when Sabine fell into that lava pit and screamed in horror as 95% of her body burned but the medical droids were miraculously able to save her leaving only the faintest of scars in the shape of a heart to remind her to never settle, never give up on your dreams!

That’s the US. The US ALWAYS did that, though that time they still had a functioning Navy and a large National Guard. When all your enemies are on the other side of the ocean, having a large standing army doesn’t seem all that important when you supposedly have plenty of time to build back up without fear of invasion. The Allies then proceeded to sign arms limitation treaties with each other. No one was stupid enough to unilaterally disarm entirely. Britain cut back on its army but kept its navy strong. France sorta did the reverse, though with a focus on fortifications.

You mad? the show is for her, like what do you expect from the Ashoka show lol , you would prefer Disney to do sequel related shows, this show is good so get over your constant hate
@@generalgrievous3760"the show is good"
Repeats a map quest several times,has someone survive a lightsaber to the chest, expects the viewer to have watched other shows before it yet has characters forget things from those shows (Sabine should know that Kanan couldnt see yet he could fight), enemies lacking tactics, the World between worlds becoming even more confusing, the New Republic being made to look even more incompetent that they should have crumbled, stiff directing (take a shot every time Ashoka and Hera fold their arms).
Yeah."great" show
@@hk1371 nothing is perfect not even the originals and and prequels, you guys want perfection, which I think you don't know what exactly you expect, this show is very entertaining, a real star Wars fan would have seen the shows would and enjoy the clone Wars callbacks, the live action rebel characters and the "Star Wars " This show has, We just live in a crazy criticized world where everything is hated star Wars related, like if star Wars was made during this time, it would flop lol
@@generalgrievous3760 ahhh the ol "nothing is perfect" argument. No one is saying the OT and Prequels are perfect. But that doesnt then allievate the issues that I presented. We are meant to improve from past mistakes, not add to them with no care.
And why do you think people have a dislike of the show? It's because they love star wars. People who dont care at all about star Wars arent the ones dissecting it. Do you care about the faults of Utopia? Of the MKX comic? Or any other IP you dont take part in? Because then, if not, you cant hate them because there is no reason to.
You can like the show, that's fine. No one can or should take that away from you. But there as flaws that are legitimate in the writing and directing. I love the Prequels but I know all the flaws and issues I have with them. Same with the OT.
And a 'real star wars fan' shouldnt be needing to do homework. What if I was a person that didnt like animation? Do I need to then push myself through that to understand what's happening in a show with a different art form? Sorry, but that's just bad storytelling when you have to make your fans go to various stories to understand 1 character
@@hk1371 you don't like the animation that's fine but that doesn't mean the fact that it's essential for the plot and the story, the clone Wars are too big for it too being live action, if you don't watch the animation then don't bother watching the show, Star Wars animation is a part of Overall star Wars so get over it and give it a try, animation it's not so bad especially later seasons
I was a huge Star Wars fan as a kid and now it's gotten to the point where I enjoy watching them loose millions of dollars and slowly burn it to the ground, and I feel like I'm not the only one. Hopefully whoever buys the IP when Disney is done loosing money on it does a better job.
Same. I used to snatch up anything star wars when I saw it in the store, but now I find myself walking by in disgust. You couldn't pay me to take any SW merch - that's how much they've ruined this IP for the diehard fans (imo)
I think the best thing for it at this point would be to end. The damage is already done. Like nerdrotic says it’s only a zombie franchise at this point
Andor was a masterpiece tho!
@@NotUnymousI’ve heard nothing but high praise about Andor.
Only criticism that I know of has been that it had a slow start, but as other people have pointed out a lot of set up was required so that was a necessary buildup.
Personally not my kind of show, but it had the potential to be huge…..well so long as anybody watched it which hardly anyone did.
Pretty sad, but that’s where Star Wars is at.
@@meal_team_six It sucks for me because I was a big Star Wars fan and only got Star Wars merch for Christmas as a kid. When I got my first job in 2011, I could then go buy whatever Star Wars merch I wanted, but then Disney owned Star Wars in 2012 and it's just pointless to collect now unless it's George's movies
Welcome to Disney Star Wars where absolutely nothing matters.
You know it's a problem when fans are more hyped for Anakin making a cameo than Ahsoka's entire show.
I don't see why. It's just another GL character for Disney to disassemble and destroy before their very eyes.
And I can't be the only one - but the diversity casting is so jarring and in your face that it breaks immersion knowing they weren't hired for their acting talents, but because the checked skin color and gender boxes.
If GL: had done this for all the other movies this wouldn't be an issue - Disney has more diverse faces than actual diverse alien species.
That's how all Disney shows are getting any views at all.
Annakin is an actual SW character. Ahsoka is a SW cartoon character. I know which one I'd rather see.
[Is literally space Hermann Goering]
[Still more loved than anything disney is putting out]
[ironic.jpg]
That's every Disney SW show now
"Well, Ahsoka kinda forgot about Leia Poppins and the force flying." Killed me. I can already tell this will be a great video.
Would’ve fit better with Sabine complaining about sight after being led by a blind Jedi lol
@@disguisedcentennial835Sabine complaining about sight makes sense tho
Not my Leia! She is not Poppins in space! She is the sexy princess that I guess loathed it, but did it anyway.
It's fascinating, & not in any good way, when fans react so emotionally strong to Ahsoka reuniting with Anakin (& in live-action on top of it) than Ahsoka herself that knew Anakin better than any fan watching. The fans are super happy to see him but she barely expresses anything at all. Last they met he was Vader & almost killed her. Has Ahsoka met Luke yet when this show takes place & had the BIG talk about Anakin & his redemption? Does she know of his redemption when she sees him here or doesn't she have a clue? Would be nice if the script & Ahsoka expressed anything so I know when in the jumpy timeline we are at & how she, as the lead protagonist, feels & thinks about anything. Ahsoka used to be a lot more expressive, even as she got older. Her relationship with Anakin was far beyond student & master, they were like siblings. She shouldn't be as over-the-top expressive as these fans seeing Anakin show up but a little bit of happiness just to see him would have helped ME to feel anything underneath the surface. Because that is what all this was, just surface. No content. OK, Ahsoka meets Anakin again. He seems a bit pleased at least to see her again. She on the other hand holds back from us whatever she's feeling & asks him no questions, doesn't ask him anything regarding their last duel that nearly killed her or mentions having met Luke if she has done that by this time etc.
Another irony is that Rosario has always been praised to be this great actress & elsewhere she has been! While Hayden has always gotten the worst criticism for being a terrible actor. What I saw now last was reverse! He was a lot better than her in expressing what the character is supposed to be expressing. I get the feeling that Rosario simply does what Dave tells her & goes home with the paycheck while Hayden still respects the SW he used to belong to.
Did you even watch the show(s)? It's established that Ahsoka has trauma because she feels guilty for the creation of Darth Vader. She isn't very excited to see him, because he is the embodiment of (what she thinks) her failure. The last lesson is that she can be who she wants to be, and afterwards she's much more expressive and filled with positive energy, look for example at the last lines of dialogue.
+ In rebels she wasn't expressive at all, since the season final of clone wars
👏 👏 👏
I was hoping you'd mention the map that pointed out Thrawn and Ezra's exact location. Who made that map? Didn't the flying whales at the end of the battle of Lothal take Thrawn and Ezra to an unknown part of the galaxy at lightspeed? How could someone possibly know where they were and make a mysterious, well guarded space map in an ancient temple that points to their exact location? It just doesn't sense. It also gave me "Rise of Skywalker" vibes with Rey"s quest to find a dagger that would point out the exact location of the Wayfinder that would lead to the resurrected Palpatine. Its just so ridiculous and cringeworthy.
I hope people remembered that despite TLJ and TRoS being more obviously insulting, it was TFA that set that precedent
Original lines from Dave: Rebels Season 2 finale
Ahsoka: "I will avenge my master."
Darth Vader: "Revenge is not the Jedi way."
Ahsoka: "I'm no Jedi."😁
guess he had a moment there.
The worst part about the Anakin cameo is that Lucasfilm will undoubtedly take notice that most people are only tuning into Ahsoka for the Anakin cameo, incentivizing them to crux more of their shows on fan service and cameos
Yep. The Star Wars fandom has confirmed to me that SW is dead. Disney is reasonably thinking: 'wait, so we can do a very bad show, but if we include a cameo in the season, it will be a success! People will forget all the bs and talk about the cameo! Yay!'
they've lost so much brain power that the only ideas they can think of now is which star wars actor they can bring back and shove into a costume for their next uninteresting shit show
@@Yarblocosifiliticoyeah, it’s so pathetic. Star Wars is nothing but bland slop at this point, and no amount of cameos will make that sustainable in the long run.
All their shows are based on fan service, how are people just now noticing this?
Pretty much. I already canceled my D+ subscription but I still got a few days left. Literally fast forwarded to the part of the new episode that had Hayden in it then hopped off when it was over. That being said it was good to see him in the role again he was great
Grumpy Cat headdress. Lol brilliant
You're the first to mention it 😅👍
My biggest criticism is they can’t seem to make up their minds whether Sabine is force sensitive or not.
not sure if it´s the biggest but it´s certainly the most obvious one.
my favourite line of ahsoka was "somehow thrawn has returned"
it was so funny. A+ comedy.
The best thing about Star Wars are these reviews! Long live the Head!!!!
Cheers!
Except a few episode of the mandalorian season 1 and the first three episodes of andor It's been years since I didn't watch anything from disney star wars.

You know, there's a missed opportunity there. What Shin (blondie) should've said was, "Nice helmet. Ever take it off?"
I like that
@@RobotHead That is corny asf, no wonder you like it.
They spent a lot of time in this show with their arms crossed, saying things slow with lots of time waiting for replies. Its so so bad. Disney can't do star wars films and they can't do tv either, what a sad time.
Agree with this, craptacular writing
People dont instantly reply if they actually care about what you said irl
Its like filler so that you only get about 15 minutes of show. You also notice that Anakin did nothing to give Ahsoka closure about the feelings of abandonment she had for him as felt in Rebels. Kind of pointless to have 30 minutes of flashback if she's not also getting closure. I could see that more coloring her fear to not train Sabine.
@@agenttexx maybe if you did anything but be a little bitch you could see she did get closure without the need to verbally express or recieve it
0:42 that intro just started leaving rent free in my head.
Disney made lightsabers worthless. In the both Original and Prequel Trilogies and the older shows and games. When someone takes a fatal direct hit from a lightsaber, they are either severely injured, missing limbs, or....they're dead.
And yet in modern Disney Star Wars. Character get hits with Lightsaber. They later walk it off like it's nothing. It's so asinine as hell.
They made a respectable and iconic weapon into an complete and utter joke.
More of that they killed lightsabers personality. Now it’s just a katana with cool bright blade. How the hell people eating this shit - I don’t understand. Star Wars rip
@@Orsikmorsik Lucas did that in the prequels. Too many lightsabers.
@@davidbowles7281 what he did? You are blind? Oh, no, you are using ZATOCHI! Mazafakers even brought the names of the moves from Japan! Cmon bro, stop eating disney shit!
All those enemies are either just a coincidence or the wind. Afterall if one random person can't find any evidence of them then they probably don't exist.
I really admire how they implemented precisely zero percent of the incredible character arc she had in Clone Wars. More bland girl bosses, please.
The mere notion that women need to improve in any way is offensive to Hollywood writers.
Her arc was just fine. Not incredible.
@@kostaspassias3815 ............what?
Sometimes I feel like that series never happened because the rest of the franchise completely ignored it
@@GnohmPolaeon.B.OniShartz Well the rest of the franchise was made before that series...
2:14 Carrie Fischer showed more emotion and intensity in that 1-second clip from Empire (pain, fear, heartbreak, vulnerability, resolve, strength), they every actor combined in this show for it's entire run.
Thanks to Redlettermedia and Mike specifically for creating those wonderful reviews that spawned a thousand channels like this one.
I wish Mike would make more Plinkett reivews. Maybe it's not necessary anymore because of channels like this that continue the work he started, but damn it I still want it.
It's the worst thing that ever happened to TH-cam. At least RLM was funny.
I feel like that montage of reaction channels over Anakin could be replaced by a montage of dogs taking a sh!t and it would more accurately reflect Disney Star Wars in general.
I love debating people online, they believe that is the coolest space battle yet. And get super angry when you point out the stupid
When Ahsoka jumped out of the water on Kamino and started singing "part of your world" was so awe inspiring, this non-binary birthing person cried so much, I had to replace my covid mask twice. Finally, I feel represented.

No we got a good show and haters can’t expect it I knew this would happen. Hating Disney has become a personality trait
@@j02savage9 it really isnt that good. Is that not okay? I loved andor but didn’t like asohka, she has no character, dialogue is poor and world building is poor.
@@fluffaduck6206 it seems like that because you’re a fake fan and haven’t watched all the Contant. People argue you can watch a Harry Potter movie in the middle, and it makes sense to what level we might understand that piece but not the entire story Star Wars you have to watch that’s why we can pick up fake fans and laugh a guys that make videos like these. Disney has fucked up Star Wars a lot but it’s Ashoka It’s not that. I get that you hate Disney but you probably can’t even tell me what’s garbage about it other than what your favorite TH-camrs have said.
@@j02savage9 So watching every clone wars, rebels episode, every prequal and sequal movie, every side movie. And yet Im not a true fan and “dont understand”. Why don’t you ask a question instead of accusing me of things that are just wrong ive watched all the content EVEN THE 2003 ANIMATED SERIES.
@@j02savage9 Asohka’s character arc has not transitioned well from clone wars to mandolorian to the Asohka show. Same with sabine, also the lightsaber stab is completely rediculous - its worse than the previous stabs because SHE HAS NO FORCE ABILITIES so it makes it even dumber she survived. The space battles were absolutely trash, do you know that the ship they are in is a FREIGHTER, most ships in star wars that size can only take a few hits from a star fighter, but that ship seems to be tankier than a frigate (with loss power btw). Another thing thats wrong, is the hyperspace creating an ionic effect on the X wings when that has NEVER happened before in all of star wars. Every soldier is incompetent, if the bad guys wanted to win instantly without any risks - WHY NOT send every soldier, the 3 siths all at once, not one by one. Its stupid. Sabine also punched a pure armoured metal droid… we see this in clone wars where a clone breaks his hand when he punches a droid. The droids who self destructed had NUKE-LIKE capabilities - something that has never been possible in star wars without a DEATH STAR or star destroyers or rhidonian. Why did they even blow up a temple where they needed an artefact? Why did the imperial officer shout “FOR THE EMPIRE” before attacking? Why didn’t asohka sense the danger? Why doesnt force sensitive beings in the show sense anything?
Now because you assume Im some black and white animal here are the things I like.
Special effects are decent, lightsaber choreography is average, idea is good, the Baylon is awesome.
Andor has raised the bar, for a nobody of a character.
I actually did laugh my ass off when I saw the space suit scene where the ship somehow had the gravity of earth yet it was only at the end we were treated to a little side joke about how there is now suddenly no gravity in space. AS SOON as I saw her flip I was oh well she's fucked... but no, this truly has become space fantasy and has dropped all of the sci out of sci-fi. I know there are a lot of ridiculous things in star wars from a science perspective, but this one takes the cake for me. It was fucking hilarious to watch.
How does Ahsoka's ship have gravity on the outside?
It's interesting how despised main appearances can become beloved cameos.
Well... Let's just say someone in that ship was getting extra cheese on her Whopper!
@@meal_team_sixI don't get the correlation of gravity and cheese.
@@TheREALSimagination Someone in the ship is so fat they're creating a gravity well
Oh, ok. I thought that was some kind of euphemism.
Magnetic boots exist
All it took was Hayden coming back in a flashback for people to call this the greatest TV episode in the history of Star Wars, it’s pretty much the Luke Skywalker member berries moment from Mando S2 and in isolation this flashback is cool but it doesn’t really belong in this show morso Kenobi if it was actually done right. (At least 40% of the show should have been flashbacks that’s shared between Obi-Wan and Vader as they both reflect on their lives, while the other 60% is Obi-Wan’s daily life on Tatooine.)
This guy gets it
Member clone wars?
Was this the plan to have Hayden all along, or are they DESPERATELY needing CAMEOS already......Usually shows that are running on empty will have CAMEOS....but this early?????? Of course Star Wars is not as big as fans think..It's a very small universe that NEEDS an emperor, Darth/Anakin, and droids....
It does belong because of who Ahsoka is lol, but it needed to have more exposition dialogue
I would prefer your show over Felony’s any day
It baffles me that there are people out there that think this show is good, you can like it, but to say it is objectively good is staggering.
They just think don't it's good, they think it's amazing. We live in dangerous times.
I like it because I just want to enjoy star wars... But it's not good
This show is aggressively average.
the show is amazing wtf are u talking about everyhing about sabine is literally what i’ve waited years for….. not to mention the clone wars scene and we see adult asoka dealing with her trauma and grief like dude the stupid “she crosses her arms” is fuckinf stupid SHE ALWAYS DID THIS DID U GUYS NEVER WATCH THE CARTOON
and JEDI HAVE BEEN FIGHTING IN SPACE LIKE THAT FOR YEARS AGAIN READ THE COMICS AND CARTOONS
"This is Star Wars at its best"
Emotionally, the reappearance of Anakin is *NOT* the same as Luke's reappearance in Mando. Those reactions to Anakin were ludicrous.
They’re “reaction TH-camrs” that’s kinda their whole shtick is to overreact to the most basic shit. Lol watch those same ppl when they were watching the flaming shitstorm train wreck that was book of Boba Fett. It’s pure shenanigans and they get access to exclusive stuff from Disney for acting like that
@@Hellcaiser4i just lol
I don’t even waste my time with star wars anymore , I want to just remember it as it was.

When Ahsoka saw Anakin smile at the end of the episode and then the post-credit scene showed Indy behind Anakin smiling and behind Indy was Will Smith smiling and behind Will Smith was Chris Rock holding a baseball bat winking at the camera had to be the single best moment in television history. I'm so excited to see where they take this!
sabine didn't die because they can't lose one of the five characters this show has

so they Hired Imperial personal into some of their most secure positions but decided not to use any of the ready to fly Imperial battle ships....what?
When Ahsoka inverted her spaceship and gave the imperial tie fighter pilot the finger while Sabine in the navigator seat took a polaroid really set the tone for the series. The future is female!

I honestly wouldn’t mind if we saw a few Jedi survived, like Cal Kestis (probably because he’s an actual interesting character) but ‘the purge’ really doesn’t feel like a purge when only about 15% of the Jedi died
And people wonder why I gave up watching TV years ago.
When it is over, I wonder who will end up despising that show more: those who have seen TCW and Rebels or those who haven't.
no idea, but one thing is for sure: most people will have forgotten this show within a few weeks, including those who freaked out about Vader flashes.
I lost it on the cat joke.
The lowering of the clown 🤡 wigs got me 😂😂😂😂
Poor Grumpy Cat, that's just downright cruel (but insanely funny at the same time).
I remember in the books, which made a lot more sense, the New Republic would confiscate any and all Imperial ships they could find and just rename them to something less ominous, since larger Imperial ships had names like Annihilator or Vengeance or something like that. Not exactly great ship names for a supposedly peaceful republic. But not only did they actively use captured Star Destroyers in their fleet, I'm pretty sure they built a bunch more of them, since it made more sense than spending absurd amounts of money to retool captured Imperial shipyards that could crank out ISDs pretty quickly. They always had some conflict they were fighting and needed ships, so no one really cared what they were sending into battle, as long as it was effective haha
And here we all thought that Disney Star Wars had hit rock bottom with Kenobi...
AHAHA. I think this is a little better than Kenobi and that's not saying much. Kenobi was pretty bad.
To be fair, the only thing I like about this show is Hayden's Anakin performance and TCW flashback scenes. Everything else is so weird. Episode 1-4 weren't good at all for me, but I did enjoy episode 5, I guess they bought me with Hayden, I guess having any glimpse of George Lucas Star Wars in their shows is the only thing I'll ever like until they start making good directed stories that don't mess up what Lucas already established. Thank you for the video Robot Head
TCW Armour looks cheap and out of place.
That cat on the head thumbnail is hilarious! 😂😂
Robot head doesn’t like new Star Wars? Who would have guessed?!!??
That scene with the 'Top General' overlay... could work... has worked, in Mass Effect, with Sheppard telling the Council about the Reapers, and the Council just hand waving the report away, because they don't want to see the bigger picture, and Sheppard's only a human after all..
Qui-Gon: wise, calm, sees the potential and good in people, but tends to disagree with religious elders
I feel most people don’t care about these other characters because they never watched SW rebels/clone wars
The thing that I found funny Ahsoka is trying to train Sabin who doesn't even feel the force but Jason who's father was a Jedi no don't train someone who can't feel the force
Isn’t Sabine’s whole shtick an artistic pyrotechnic? What’s she doing swinging a lightsaber?
Only listening to this video, I genuinely cannot tell the difference between Ashoka, and Sabine. Their tone and cadence is so monotone and similar to each other, I genuinely can’t tell the difference between them
Disney once had the Opportunity to give Ashoka a incredible Arc: She takes over Luke's final training (It's never explained how he became the a**-kicking jedi between 5 & 6).
I always loved that Idea, its like... poetry. Becaus it rhymes&sh*t. Imagine a Ashoka show which explains what the f*ck she was doing between 3 and 4, somehow finding and then training the Son of Anakin, and then dying to save him/someone else in the FInale. If done right, i wouldn't even break Canon, and it would actually ... i dunno... ADD SOMETHING?
What a terrible godawful idea! Are you Dave Filoni by any chance? Mary Sue here already took Luke's place, importance, unique aspect, and even story after ROTJ. Now you want her to train him, too? No thanks
We already know what she was doing between 3 and 4 tho. She was in Rebels, which ends right around the Battle of Yavin…
And I’d rather that not happen with Luke. Luke needs to be far above Ahsoka. I want Grandmaster Luke back. The guy who didn’t even _look_ at a Sith Lord and the Sith flew into a wall and couldn’t move lol
@@lvplvp you would have to sacrifice all of that storyline, same as rebels, it would work with the modern diseny canon. But i bet it would be better than the shit we received from diseny
@@jerrymuffin8276 Nobody pointed a gun to our heads and forced us to clap to downright shit storytelling we are served.
The fans could've stopped supporting these awful shows by not watching them. Alas, let's all clap for member berries and mediocre-to-shit stories.
Ahsoka Sue should've been dead in clown wars like GL wanted but Filoni can't get enough of his OC.
Disney and Star Wars fans are both morons and deserve each other. The worst thing is they both are ruining it for anyone else.
Jingle, jingle, jingle is about right 😆
1:10 this scene is so much stupider when you think about how fast those spaceships should be going. literally faster than a speeding bullet and she moonwalks around them 🤣🤣
2:23 Posing after a lethal strike in a samurai duel. It's a subtle reference.
Not so subtle
i also love how the whole thing is motivated by the supposed survival of Thrawn. Five episodes in and not only have we not seen the guy, or any sign of his activity, but we have no idea where the rumor even came from.
If I wanted the Rebels crew to combat a returned Thrawn, it would be something like this:
New Republic forces disappear in the Outer Rim. When an investigation team is sent there to investigate they find the remains of a space battle so decisive and devastating that it reminds them of Thrawn. More such battle scenes are discovered and soon everyone is spooked about his possible return. When it is confirmed he is indeed back (in this galaxy, not a different one) a huge fleet is amassed that includes the Lothal Rebels. They however, Hera included, refuse because the loss of Kanaan and Ezra traumatized them and they are not yet ready to revisit that conflict. Without their help the fleet is defeated with colossal loss of life including perhaps Mon Mothma herself. The crew feels responsible and decides to lead a counterattack as atonement for their mistake. Using their experience in dealing with Thrawn, they actually defeat him.
Now this is something worth watching
@@Starshineadmirer Thank you. I used an obscure skill unknown to Filoni called what would actually make sense.
This show will be forgotten in a month.
Hayden was on the screen for 5 minutes and his IRL lightsaber skills put Rosario to shame. She's so slow and clumsy compared to him, more physical training is needed if she's to be portraying a Jedi as nimble as Ahsoka (who's supposes to use the fastest lightsaber Form).
Ariana Greenblatt actually did pretty decent with her fighting style when playing young Ahsoka. Rosario is so bad tho 💀
10:48 I think that's a fundamentally flawed way of thinking about the Empire. That's like saying you have to work for the government to support your country. Or that Nazis were only the soldiers fighting on the front, and only in Germany. I think "For the Empire" doesn't mean they were necessarily working directly for the Empire as it means they supported their way of thinking and/or how things were under their control.
I'm like Obi-Wan watching the security holograms.
"I can't watch anymore"
I laughed at the line "We have former imperials working at every level of the new republic government," because I believe Disney is one Freudian slip away from saying, "We have deplorable American patriots working at every level of the new republic government." I also laughed at the Kathleen Kennedy fans joy-crying at the sight of the wax-face Anakin. They're like sheep getting exciting at seeing red clover they haven't seen in years. Eat up!
With all the truly compelling television we've had in recent years, I'm surprised more fans are not asking for more complexity, etc., from their favorite genre shows. When we fans settle for less, sadly that's all we are likely to get. Given her portrayal was like she took valium, I had hoped for a far more emotionally impactful change from *Ahsoka.*
*Anakin* and *Ahsoka* would often stand with their arms crossed in _The Clone Wars._ Looks pretty cool. *_Unfortunately,_* that does not come across the same in live action. _Not at all the same._
Remember the officers in the OT that resembled smart, serious, hard working men despite being the bad guys. Like war movies from the fifties. I really miss that type of character, now we get dumb clowns, angry little men or evil cos evil cannibal
Well, look who they put in charge of most of the capital ships and government now...
The green lady is the epitome of smug and I can't even be bothered to learn her name.
I have been preaching how LAZY Disney writing has been yet somehow people keep seeing the shiny and thinking everything is good.
When I saw Anakin my jaw dropped. The editing during that sequence was truly amazing. The fight between ahsoka and Anakin was lacking because.. Ahsokas actor isn't athletic..
But then I remembered all the other scenes.
If by amazing you mean poorly, you are right.
@@TheOutlando well the edits themselves were very good. They just portrayed everything wrong
What sets you apart from the rest of the SW fanbase is the fact that you remembered the other scenes. Kudos.
@@TheOutlandoall I’m gonna say is the Anakin-Vader walking scene is objectively hard. Nondebatable. I don’t watch the show but I saw that scene and got goosebumps.
The LoTR films were a lot of walking around, Ashoka is a lot of wooden characters pacing the floor, crossing their arms, talking and pausing way too long with occasional lightsaber fights that are awkward and slow.
If you ever read the LotR books, Tolkien spends a lot of time describing the landscape.
