Highest praise to the thumbnail artist. Kudos, whomever ye be.

Dave Filoni simply did anything and everything to make Ahsoka more of a main character of the franchise than Luke.

sabines injury literally looks like someone extnguished a lit cigar on her skin, yet we're supposed to believe she got impaled by a beam of energy hot enough to melt steel in seconds.

Sabine: Stole the map and gave the map to Baylan which made Thrawn return. Ahsoka: Let Sabine get away with it without repercussions. New republic: So corrupt and incompetent that it didn’t notice the resurgence of the empire. Meanwhile, Disney: “It’s all Luke’s fault for…trying to kill Kylo Ren in his sleep one time but stopped himself beforehand which somehow justified Kylo to turn evil and murder billions.”

Man, as much as I appreciate your writing and narration and generally your style, I can't bring myself watching the rest of this because I realized that I don't give a rats behind any more of what goes on in that or any other Star Wars show. Appreciate the effort and the sacrifice though.

There's a very simple and logical explanations for why they're taking apart Star Destroyers just to put the parts into new ships. The Good Guys can't fly Bad Guy ships. That would confuse the audience!

The pause of showing the lightsaber scar and then interjecting with "I once tried to cook pizza...". Cracked me up good

I like how this is basically "Ahsoka: An Unbridled Rage".

I'd watch Assoka. No one could withstand her silent but deadly attack.

Anyone else miss actual competent villains. God dam at least Team rocket managed to usually kidnap Pikachu before getting blasted with lightning or something else. Thrawn could have a nuclear bomb strapped to Ahsoka's chest and still mess it up.

The Sabine not feeding her cat gag had me rolling 😂

That thumbnail🤣🤣🤣

11:40 You forgot the most important part... the map which was made at least centuries ago is the map to the location of the guys who only went missing 5 years ago during a spontaneous event that had no prior planning and was caused by a guy who never knew of the existenceof this map...

The Empire not taking advantage of another Galaxy is almost as weird as Disney inventing an entire new Galaxy, free of the constrictions of old lore, and all they do with it is leave as fast as possible.

I love these reviews. As somebody who writes for fun (never likely to be published) they are brilliant lessons in how NOT to write.

My favorite part of the show was when they travel to a completely new galaxy, and infinite possibilities are open to the writers, and they land on a planet that's basically a carbon copy of Tatooine.

Platoon, I've carped about this before on other threads and I'll say it here. This was done vastly better in the Expanded Universe. The whole point of Heir to the Empire is that an organization like the Empire doesn't die over night and would go down kicking and screaming. Hell, in the books the Rebellion/New Republic are never quite able to finish them off and they eventually make peace. It's a far more interesting, realistic and satisfying story.

I loved all the excitement and fan theories about the Fallen Jedi......then he turned out to be a green fart in a can. That was peak Buttsoaker! They jumped the fart right there!

That thumbnail is a work of art.

We truly live in the golden age of popular entertainment. Blessed with luminaries like Dave Filoni, Alex Kurtzman, Rian Johnson and J.J. Abrams. The world owes these men a debt of gratitude for sharing their talent for completely destroying established properties.

That's the sorta thumbnail that will make warriors of old kneel to you in Valhalla !

Nicholas Cage looking at this thumbnail: "I could eat a peach for hours."

I can attest that writers now days make things up on the fly. I was a caterer for a medium scale TV production. They were halfway through filming a season of the show. At lunch I overheard the writers (who happened to be pretentious douche bags) spitballing their stupid ideas of how to wrap up the season. I was shocked to learn that is the way it works.

A secret imperial return led by Thrawn and moff Gideon in the suit as the Vader , if written well/sensibly, could’ve been something very very cool.

How is this so hard to make a good Star Wars show

17:44 it has been an established ability for a while before fallen order most notably Quinlan Vos had it, the explanation however was that it was an incredibly rare ability you had to be born with and Ahsoka has never been shown to have it before

"That's no moon...."

I recently recommended your channel to a friend, describing it as "like MauLer, but more sophisticated" Well played, Sir 😄👌

I almost fell off my seat when you said you had a case of the big ghey in relation to Sabine's hair. You, sir, are brilliant and hillarious.

Loved the video. As for the Whole New Canon and old Canon thing regarding Nightsisters. In the old EU, there was a planet called Dathomir where a coven of witches lived. These witches were semi force sensitives as a way to survive in their hostile environment. As such, being a dense forest world they were overlooked as a civilized planet and developed their own force "magics". There were only a few characters to come from this era, the best known one being Silri, who was a full on force user. Rancors were also native to the planet, as well as other tribes like the Spider Tribe. Then TCW came along (Per usual) and bulldozed everything that came before it, turning the planet into a dead planet and giving the witches actual magic. They also made it so they enslaved the Zabrak who before weren't native at all to dathomir. They also ruined the race of Asajj Ventress who before was a Rattataki. They just retconned the entire Rattataki species to be night sisters instead. Where as before they were clearly just a subspecies of humans. In conclusion, TCW should be considered Disney Canon and not EU material as it just ruins everything that came before it with little to no regard as to what the significance of it was. On top of that I'm tired of seeing the puppatered corpses of things from the EU brought into canon like the Dark Troopers and the Mythosour. They just bring them back without caring or knowing what made them cool or special to begin with and it ruins the legacy those things left behind. Fuck Disney Star Wars. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

The NordVPN advertisement was spectacularly hilarious. If I wasn't already using another service I'd definitely sign up. ("Unlike your wife." Phenomenal)

I don't even need to see the video now... I'll still watch it, but the Ahsoka Thompson thumbnail is all I need.

This is where the the fun begins, it sure didn't start watching the actual show.

Assassin droids should work on RAM memory only. Once power is lost, data gets corrupted (though bits and pieces can be recoveree). But that is easily fixed by a small relay switch that runs a bunch of BS through the banks if main power is lost. So either the memory banks are intact but scrambled/corrupted due to power loss protocols, or the banks are damaged and the data is lost due to power loss, or the data is lost due to physical damage. Assassin droids should not have persistent data storage.

Hera's flying a Trade Federation shuttle because in Rebels the Ghost's snub was destroyed and they yoinked that Trade Federation shuttle from an old Trade Fed base. It just so happened - because Rebels was a cartoon - that the Trade Fed shuttle fit in the same socket the much smaller shuttle the Ghost originally had fit in. And here we are years and years later and she's still got it, even though there's no way it actually fits and it'd be damn near impossible to maintain, while the Ghost's shuttle probably would've been relatively easy and cheap to replace since VCX-100s are not rare...

They completely ruined Baylon and Shin, the two characters who I was even remotely interested in. I could see the potential which makes it sadder. They could’ve done so much with those characters but decided on doing nothing. BRILLIANT.

The 20 minute mark about retroactive corrections. Disney has been doing that since they acquired the property. Now we have Force Dyads, the force can just 'awaken' in people who never displayed any aptitude for the force whatsoever. Backstories in supplementary material to make sense of things. Don't get me wrong, Lucas didnt mind retconning things, but i never found it to be as nearly damaging as what Disney has done.

Hey, remember when the Yuuzan Vong came from a different galaxy and nearly destroyed all of the Star Wars galaxy? Pepperidge Farm remembers

That ad break was hilarious, how did they sign off on that LMAO

That thumbnail has me crying lmfao

Really don’t like how they portray the new republic. In legends, it was far from perfect, but they weren’t downright stupid or evil like that assigning numbers thing. What’s worse is that people are writing it off as “it’s just like real life so it’s good storytelling” and not getting the difference between a government body being incompetent and one being downright stupid so the villains have a reason to become a threat.

1:00:51 When the imperials go to try to assassinate the borderline all-foreseeing Jedi, the dude stands up and screams “for the empire” BEFORE attacking!! I saw that and genuinely laughed when it happened!

*Cartman:* “I have lost the ability to Laugh” Anyone remember that episode? 😆

Why would the nightsisters have galactic map coordinates and travel routes? This seems more Rakatan Star Empire sort of deal. Especially when the Nightsisters are a clan of Dathamerian native clans. Oh right Filoni hates Kotor and old Republic era. 17:17 would be really funny if you put the clip of Anderson and Tali explaining what geth do to avoid data salvage in Mass Effect to counterpoint Disney. 1:05:16 Disney stole that from Mobile Suit Gundam victory with the Beam rotor tech.

The planet with Red Trees was the SAME planet Cot. Kirk was on in the beginning of JJ's Star Trek movies! Even the cliff that Kirk jumped off of!

Once again Fair Use Jawa is the most sensible thing about this show!

I absolutely adore the thumbnail it's fit for a photoshop meme, and I give that an A+ then a gold medal as well

Ahsoka really shows how much this stuff rots out from the core. A lot of the work that goes into this stuff visually, the actors involved, all would be good in another project, but production values cannot save a bad story. Also I really don't understand how you can make Rosario Dawson that boring. Why do so many actors in Disney look tired to be there lol.

The worst part is if filoni would just read dark empire (assuming he can read at a 4th grade level) he would know that they did keep and run Star destroyers…

Take a shot every time ahsoka crosses her arms

I just want to take this time to harp on one contrivance in the show, because I think it is illustrative of how poorly written of an obvious first draft the entire show is: When the baddies leave the galaxy with their sinister space ring, Ahsoka immediately, conveniently manages to catch a pod of space whales right then and there so she can head off in hot pursuit. Setting aside how contrived and deus machina this is, it completely deflates any notion that this other galaxy is so very hard to reach when there are two viable means to get there mere minutes apart from each other. Worse still, it wastes a perfectly good setup for a side quest where the heroes have to scramble to figure out how they are going to get to the other galaxy, travel there and acquire it, all the which provide ample opportunity to explore and develop the characters, especially considering the team is split up and they have legitimate doubts about and grievances against Sabine. I think any half-decent tv writer would have had at least two episodes, at bare minimum, where we follow around team Ahsoka as they eventually settle on the completely insane plan of space-whale-travel (ideally after exploring all other options), and finally make it to the other galaxy. You could cut in scenes with the two not-sith and Sabine, but honestly I think it would make more sense to only show what happened in the other galaxy once Ahsoka gets there. Jumping between galaxies is immersion-breaking and ruins the sense of separation between the two. By only showing scenes from whatever galaxy Ahsoka is in, you'd subconsciously reinforce the impression that the other galaxy is unreachably distant.

So they could plot hyperspace routes to completely different galaxies yet half of theirbown galaxy is known as "The Unknown Regions" because they can't chart routes theough that area?...

Every time LP says, “Huge Wang” I lose it…😂😂😂

My body is more ready than her face will ever be. (I'm not completely sure what I mean by that, but it sounds good if you don't think about it... Which, I suppose, makes me at least as good a writer as anybody currently working for Disney) PS: It's a little bit hysterical that this face is more expressive than Thesa Thompson...

I just realized, why doesn't Ahsoka just down the bad guys' ships with the force, since that's a thing now.

Oh my goodness that thumbnail has me dying 😂

I'm 100% convinced Matrock or whatever that inquisitor's name is, was *supposed* to be Ezra. I think Filoni planned for him to be Ezra, I think the original story's intent was for him to be Ezra, and this was to be used as a device to build up Ahsoka's and Sabine's girl boss forcelationship. But, as Dave got to the end of his script, he realized he wanted Ahsoka to ride in like Gandalf durning Helm's Deep for his Mandoverse movie, AND he wants Sabine to be a full "badass" jedi by then as well and she can't do that if Ahsoka sends Sabine home since, in his mind, Ahsoka is the only one who could possibly train her (Luke WHOwalker?) So, the inquisitor was rewritten to not be Ezra. They made him a goofy gas boy so Ezra can be Legolas in Helm's Deep, and Ahsoka can be Gandalf. Mando will probably be Gimly. He'll turn to Ezra and be like "I never thought I'd be going into battle with a Jedi..." then Ezra will turn to him and say "How about... with a friend?" then Mando will nod, then, probably, get licked by some disgusting CGI wolf-esque monster that Ezra has tamed and it'll be a very funny haha moment, because you see, it is a gross beast showing affection to a stoic character. That is funny, you see. This, of course, means Thrawn and his undead army will be both The Night King and the Orcs, and he will be beaten by the messiac return of Ahsoka the White, avatar of the grey force which shall be painted as objectively better than any other side of the force because KOTOR 2 was written by a guy who hated Star Wars so much without really understanding any of it, but people really LIKE Kotor 2 so, it will be given the lipservice in that moment to justify why Ahsoka truly is the most powerful bestest most terrific jedi to ever live of all time ever.

How does this guy not have a million subs yet?

ray stevensons scenes were the only truly enjoyable ones in this show. not because they gave him good material, but because his acting was so good, that it was a pure joy seeing him on screen. its very unfortunate he passed away and even more so that his final role wasnt something more suited for someone of such a great skill

If you can have an appreciation of Hera's backside (playing for the other team as it were) that must be a testament to the costumier's skill at tailoring trousers. I can't disagree!

"You may not realize this but we have buttocks' where our heads should be" -Assoka

This video is amazingly-constructed and well thought out, eloquent as ever with witty and poignant observations and well-timed jokes. The amount of thought and craftsmanship you put into your work shows in every aspect of the end product, and I feel that you're one of the most gifted critics the platform has to offer, Platoon. Stellar work! I won't lie, though, every artery in my body nearly detonated from the force of my laughter at the thumbnail when it popped up in my feed.

Brilliant vid yet again platoon, your writing and editing is brilliant cheers for the great entertainment yet again, cheers for the chat making it even better😻

40:59 I think the concept of taking apart the giant Imperial ships is based on the end of WW2 when a lot of warships were decommissioned and sold for scrap. But in the real world, they did this because either because they were inferior -- like giant battleships had proven to be interior to simpler solutions, like a bunch of airplanes with bombs or torpedoes -- or because of new treaties that prevented a nation from having too many warships. And they didn't do that to all of the ships. If some warships were still useful they would either continue to use them or sell them to a smaller nation that needed warships. In the Star Wars Universe, you could conceivably come up with a similar excuse for decommissioning old Star Destroyers. But we already know from the sequel trilogy (and especially The Rise of Skywalker) that Star Destroyers are still considered useful... even if they can't go UP!⬆

I would say decommissioning the Star Destroyers could make sense...but only if the New Republic couldn't staff those ships/didn't need them.

The Thirst Awakens

"Sabine's Downs cat" I had to walk away for 5 minutes to finish laughing

Thw Nightsisters in Ahsoka vs the way they are in Jedi Fallen Order would make a good discussion about how to drip feed already fleshed out lore that for new viewers. In JFO, all characters were new and the Temple there was new, but when it came to nightsisters, it stayed brief, to the point, and served the themes and story. Ahsoka is connecting them to new ideas that aren't even brief enough for loyal fans to figure out what it is. Edit: And thats another thing: Ahsokas Psychometry. I really wish that different jedi had different strengths rather than if they are old/strong/popular enough, they get all the powers. I hate this powercreep Disney started. I'm sad to say this was one of my gripes with Jedi Survivor. He has Psychometry and Kylo's Force Slow, he doesn't need Mind trick, too.

Already mentioned it last time, but I can fully see the Plinkett influence sprinkled throughout, especially with the "Oh wait is that the script down there" gag. Bring warm feelings to my heart, it all does.

I guess the New Republic just kind of forgot that the Star Destroyers were Republic ships to begin with.

The main three issues are simple. 1) Every female MC is a discount Rey. They never are blamed except by the villains. They master and learn things which shouldn't be possible and they can never die. Sabine - lightsaber gut. Walks it off the next episode after a nap. Ashoka - she was either dead, alive, but drowned, or whatever excuse you want when she got sent over the cliff. Reva - multiple lightsaber stabs. 2) the female characters all follow the same rules and archetype. They must never show emotion least it make them look bad or show a flaw. They must never have a flaw. They must never be called out on a flaw. Ashoka - gets an entire apprentice who is making the same mistakes as her mentor did causing him to fall to the dark side. She shrugs it off and laughs even when it might doom the Republic. Sabine - ignores basic story telling... Even had the set up about her one choice which could be seen as bad... Swept under the rug... Three times... For each different reason including the ones she changed the conversation to as if they had it in the script before, but had to cut it out. Giving up the map, thinking Ashoka died, having to ask the villains for a ride home. Each point was brought up and then immediately dropped because some executive thought it might make Sabine look bad if it was addressed. Reva - torture children, murdered children, killed adults, tortured adults, and tried to murder everyone for a misplaced grudge she blames someone else for because he was in a war sent by their government on the opposite side of the galaxy. Instant redemption because she couldn't beat two hillbillies with blasters... And failed to kill a child. That isn't redemption... That is confirming everyone else claiming she is a joke. Storm troopers did a bitter job than she did! The new Republic captain - does what Poe did only fails. Has shown the new republic is corrupt. Has entire scene where she lost ships, failed her mission, and being held by court marshal to both punish her and show why the new Republic failed. Executive burst into the room screaming and now last minute save by another female character sending a message to pat her in the back and remove all charges. Poe does the same and wins and gets demoted. A female does the same, but loses... Gets praised if not promoted. 3) Writing is getting lazy or restrictions to write anything are getting worse. Episode four surprised everyone because a star wars female lost... It should not be that surprising. Basic logic tossed out for the final episode because the enemy must lost and yet must also win. So it is amazing at how hard they try to make an enemy losing as if it was a series final... And yet also having to remember they are required to win. If the heroes don't care then why should we? Check they laugh at the end not even bothered by the fact they have doomed their galaxy.

Fun fact this catastrophe is basically a copy-paste of Disney's treasure planet, but with light sabers and boring

1:04:27 I don't know how you compile and integrate all of these relevant expressions and gestures. But this one absolutely steamrolled me. I wish I had this level of skill, sir.

1:03:22 akchula, star wars blaster weapons are not lasers but plasma guns , that fire by ionising a gas, firing said gas out of the gun and thats what makes the "laser" bolt, as for the explody side, i believe that they are using lately the notion that ship shields can detonate blaster bolts before they hit the actual ship a lot more than usual. since they mostly actually forget about ship shields a lot of the time.

I always assumed for the Confederacy that they were not really a popular movement, and the member worlds or states were corporate states or colonies, like a kind of East India Trading Company sort of thing. It's not Cato Neimoidia (assuming from Obi-Wan's reference to Anakin about that planet, he is referring to the homeworld of the enemy leaders in Episode 1) that is blockading and invading Naboo, it's the Trade Federation. Other members are the Banking Clans, the Commerce Guild and the Techno Union. Geonosis seems to be a world of hive-people which manufacture the battle-droids, and presumably have a strong business relationship with the Trade Federation. In other worlds, it's corporations and cartels and conglomerates who are behind the Separatist movement, it's not a fight between States Rights and centralization, it's business interests that have grown large enough to wag the dog and want out of the Republic because they are tired of answering to the monarchs who govern the non-business systems. Based on the movies, the only local governments we see are monarchies like Naboo and Alderaan, or worlds that focus around an industry, like Bespin or Mustafar or Kessel or Kamino or Geonosis. Even Naboo, based on "Darth Plageius" is all about plasma extraction. The world where Ki-Adi-Mundi is fighting is basically Switzerland, a cold, mountainous planet run by bankers, according to the same source. Remember, the CIS is the titular phantom menace, it's not a real or natural movement, it was ginned up by the Sith, in order to create the opportunities to seize political power in the Republic and to draw out the Jedi and make them vulnerable to a mass assassination. It makes sense that it would be a top-down project, with a few industrialist oligarchs wielding their financial and manufacturing power to create the armies. There are no legions of local believers who join up to fight for the cause, just armies of droids, controlled by a few people at the top. The Geonosians and Neimoidians, as well as the manufacturers of the destroyer droids/droidekas, are if I recall from peripheral materials like Battlefront II and the cross-section books, are hive species, without a lot of individuality, where most of the population (such as the bridge crews of the various CIS warships) just follow their leaders instinctively or through various control methods endemic to their respective species. This would also explain why no one seems to give a crap about the point of view of the average CiS supporter: unlike the US Civil War, they are not a bunch of rednecks farmers who just want less government and don't appreciate being invaded, or World War Two where the enemy citizens grew up resenting the national humiliations of Versailles and the financial difficulties other powers imposed on them, and feared communist revolutions such as wracked Central Europe shortly after the last war. The films never once address why the ordinary citizen of Mygeeto or Neimoidia or Utapau or Mustafar might support the Separatists. My assumption was that they don't, their governments are not democratic, or republican or in any way answerable to the general population. The Separatist movement is a bunch of robber barons and zaibatsu and oil sheiks and their tame politicians trying to purchase a military solution to taxes and labor laws and trade regulations. Until the war got underway, there was no military in the Republic who would make good customers and be worth sticking around. Breaking away would create a much less stable international order, and thereby a market for their heavy industries, which had been converted to war production to get independence in the first place and could go along merrily supplying the national defense needs or imperialistic efforts of the diadochi states in a balkanized galaxy. The only motive attributed to any of the Separatists is greed, in the opening crawl of Episode 1. Dooku's pose of idealism and principled opposition to a corrupt government is, it should not have to be explained, just a pose, as he is secretly a Sith Lord, and thus utterly lacking in benevolent motivations. There is talk about the corruption and bloated bureaucracy of the Republic, where corruption and bureaucratic inertia create a gridlock that neuters the Senate ... but the Separatists seem to be the ones responsible for that in the first place. Amidala's speech in the Senate stirs up outrage on behalf of Naboo, but it seems, or at least is explained by Palpatine in circumstances where a lie could be easily exposed, to be the bureaucrats in thrall to the Trade Federation who then grind the proceedings to a halt, preventing any action for being taken. This is not representatives of conflicting ideologies or local interests blocking each other from accomplishing anything. The only thing these oppositional forces seem to represent or serve are business interests like the Federation. So, no. I don't think we should expect, in post-Endor Star Wars, to find a whole lot of aging people who joined the CIS because they really just wanted to be left alone and live their lives without interference from Coruscant and still have Count Dooku's hologram on the mantle. Regarding Naboo, Palpatine was just a delegate who seems to serve at the pleasure of the queen, not so much a local boss who used his homeland for a power base. Amidala seems to have been in the forefront of the loyal opposition from before the start of the war, and her successor as queen on her side. I did not find at all incongruous when playing Battlefront II where the first mission after the single player campaign switches from clones to stormtroopers is in Theed to perform a "a radical destabilization of the government, via the elimination of their queen." Naboo was one of the first places Palpatine crushed, and is the closest to an idyllic "good guy" land, whose people are good and not part of the problem (unlike Tatooine, with the greedy Jawas and terroristic Sand People and scum and villainy in the towns or Corellia with a photophobic snake-lady Fagin). In Coruscant, the whole planet is a city devoted to being the capital of the Republic. No way Palpatine turned over the whole population and made Imperial loyalists of even the lower level scum. After a thousand years of a Republic that claimed to be benevolent, the Republic would probably be the primary loyalty of most Coruscant residents. Other people might think of themselves as a Wookie or a Corellian or a Tatooinian or a Mon Calamarian first and a loyal citizen of the Republic second, but the Coruscanti equivalent of that intervening local loyalty or identity would be tied up in the prestige of the Republic. Alternatively, I assumed that Mon Mothma was absent from the Battle of Endor, which was their all-or-nothing gambit to take out Palpatine, was because she and General Nadine were carrying out a seizure of the facilities on Coruscant, possibly in their own version of Operation Valkyrie, and the celebrations and Palpatine's statue being pulled down were instigated by her propaganda and operatives among the populace, perhaps the successors to Luthen Rael and company. All that aside, I fully support and appreciate the efforts in the video to dismantle the bad world-building generally on display. Maybe my rationalizations fall into the category of "doing the writers' work for them (him?)" but I also don't think the things I am providing explanations and justifications for, are crucial to the enjoyment and appreciation of Star Wars in quite the same way the incongruous growth, shown population and entire military might fitting on the hip of the head of state of Navarro in Mando season 3 undermine the stakes of the stories set there.

In last video Platoon said that this series is essentially continuation of "Clone Wars" and "Rebels" and that you had to know both series to understand what's going on in Ahsoka. Then what I don't understand is why Filoni didn't just made another season of cartoon, why making sequel in form of live action series?

Y'know, the whole 'Sabine gets stabbed' thing could have been really good if things in Stars War were allowed to have consequences. Like I don't doubt that she could have survived that hit with SW Medical Tech. She was stabbed to the side so her Spine is fine, she probably has a heavily damaged and collapsed lung and her intestines might now be perforated, but that's all reparable and not immediately fatal. But it should have had consequences, even Consequences that don't directly impede her abilities. For Comparison, When Luke lost his Hand at the end of Empire there were major consequences for his character even if he got an effectively perfect replacement, right down to still having a sense of touch just like 2 scenes later. The Consequence for this loss was that it put serious doubts into our head about whether Luke would stay on the Light Side. At the point where it happens we've had Luke's experience in the Cave on Dagobah just recently, where it showed a vision of a dark future where Luke wears the Vader Armor. We've had Luke disobey both of his teachers and abandon his Jedi Training, potentially permanently. He's failed to save his Best Friend, got his Ass Kicked by Vader, and then been crushed by the knowledge that Vader is his Father. There's a serious risk of Luke following in Vader's Footsteps. He's just become slightly Less Man and More Machine, just like Daddy. And this continues in Return where the first time we see Luke he's dressed all in Black, he's Force Choking Gamorreans, he's got a Cloak and Hood over his face, and I do think part of the out-of-universe reason he hides his Saber as long as he does is so George could push the reveal of his new saber back and give us time to wonder just what color it might be. There's serious doubts, and he continues to wrestle with the Dark Side for the rest of the movie until his final triumph. There's actually a beautiful opportunity to add this sort of doubt to not just Sabine, but also to Ahsoka here, because if we go with the 'It Punctured her Lung' it wouldn't be unreasonable for her to wake up with a shiny new Synthetic Lung. Because what's one of the most iconic aspects of Darth Vader? His Breathing. Imagine that every time Sabine is on scene, maybe subtly, quietly, unless the entire scene is quiet, we can just barely hear the faintest echo of Vader's Breathing. Its a constant reminder to Sabine of her stupidity and failure, and it's a worrying precedent for Ahsoka, who now has to wonder if she's already failed Sabine so badly that Sabine is going down Vader's Path.

Oh thank god! Well done platoon!..your use of David Tennant's droid character name twist is both hilarious and very befitting apparently according to Billy the piper!...brilliant work it should be a galactic meme 🤔😆😂 that's spans the galaxy or at the very least the rest of Tennant's career😌...👍💁‍♀️

The by far biggest problem that the show has to address is the fact that there was nothing protecting thrawn or Ezra from the vacuum as the glass was broken and the only blastdoor being held shut by Ezra so there is no way that either Ezra nor thrawn would arrive nor survive the trip as they would be pulled out and suffocate.

Your "Who's Cartman's dad," reference was awesome. I love your work.

Loving the content LP ty,i hope your success continues.

I was cleaning up the excess in my house at the weekend, and found my old Star Wars books. I have folders upon folders of magazines, lore, CAD drawings of At-At’s and tie fighters and such, so many books I can’t believe I ever read them all and I really did get a little bit emotional. To think I spent so many of my childhood years rewatching the films, replaying Revenge of the Sith on emulator and KOTOR, dreaming of seeing mandalorians for real one day. And then we got the modern trilogy and shitshow after shitshow and it’s actually marred the classics for me as well. I currently reading the Darth Bane books, a great reminder of how Sith used to be.

I just watched Sheev Talks' video about Ahsoka and now im watching this and i love it. I will never get tired of hearing about how effing terrible this story was written. Not as bad as Kenobi, but thats not really saying anything 😅

I've huge appreciation for the time and quite apparent effort that went into these two Ahsoka videos. It's all 100% accurate and needs to be acknowledged imo. Thanks for these. Stumbled across your channel by accident but now I'm subbed and look forward to deep diving into your past vids. Excellent work by you and your team. Keep up the great work!

I saw all the comments of Saw-Bean not being a Jedi as being simple fore shadowing. And that she was most assuredly a Womandalorian Jedi.

45:14 Great video, but a counter argument for Naboo celebrating the Empire’s fall. Palpatine was from Naboo, but I cannot see his home planet supporting a Sith Galactic leader who’s rule had wrongfully imprisoned civilians (as seen in Andor), along with the murder of millions if not billions of lives on Alderaan. I would believe Naboo would be thrilled to see their hometown boy stripped of his governing power.

21:41 wait a minute. Why is this engine component thing being "lowered" by cranes in a zero-gee environment where everything is just floating around in space? That's NOT how cranes work.

I love these rants! Assoka deserves it!

Is that Ben Affleck tanned and in a wig? Oh Benyyy!!

54:11 to get a scar from hitting an oven during a knife fight is quite impresive, you must be quite skilled with a knife for them to be so scared and bring an oven to the fight

Lol, Ahsoka is a Padawan..who quit. She mentiones this a few times. It's like training in a martial art say, to become a black belt or whatever color. You're three quarters in when you quit and leave the school. Then your teacher turns into a Farthest and kills everybody who could have have helped you. You wake up one day and holy Sh!t I did it, I'm a black belt! Now I can train others! Comedy Gold! 😂

"Sabine's Downs Cat" 🤣 Ah! That explains it! Alien Feline Downs Syndrome! Checks out.

We need your Jim Carey version of Ace Ventura butt it’s Assoka!

44:12 I think this refers to the experiences made in post WW2 Germany. In the new republic of Germany starting 1948, many ex-Nazis of all levels continued to serve in all kind of public services. High officials, judges, police officers, prosecutors, politicians and even ministers and later federal chancellors. And of course, non of them ever did or participated in anything bad. 😇 The first Chancellor Konrad Adenauer once said the following in response to the question of whether so many former Nazi personnel should be tolerated in the administration: "You can't throw out the old bathwater before you have new bathwater". That is exactly what is depicted in this scene. Not all members of the NSDAP were convinced nazis, it was just very useful for one's career (or survival) to be a party member. I would have expected the new trilogy to pick up on this. A shattered Empire, uncertainty on whom to pledge your allegiance to, a not yet ready new government, Luke struggling on how and even if he should restore a Jedi Order…..There would‘ve been tons of interesting point to start from….I was so naive…😢

“Dumb-fuckery” I like it! 😂
