The reason Sabine rolled her eyes at the droid when he answered her question was because he was droid-splaining to her. Either that or she thought he had the audacity to even consider that she was asking him the question. "Droids will be droids, amirite?"

7:25 Oddly enough I never hear anyone reference the callback here. This is the mistake, the exact mistake, Admiral Ozzel committed in the beginning of Empire. He exited hyperspace too late, trying to get to Hoth faster, but alerted the Rebels. This is the big mistake that caused Vader to kill Ozzel and promote Captain Piett to Admiral in his place. Had Ozzel followed this exact protocol, all the Rebels on Hoth could have been captured or killed. The fact that they're having their POV characters eyeroll at this specific reference, as if this sort of protocol is made-up and useless, is just more deliberate destruction of the original. They made sure to nail the reference, and then they shat on it.

I’ve always remembered how Qui Gon and Obi Wan couldn’t defeat the destroyer droids in TPM because of their shields, but Anakin blasted them to oblivion when he was stuck in the Naboo fighter. Because the ship’s blasters are much stronger than the blasts being reflected back at the droids. Yet Ahsoka deflects ship blasts with ease. As if they’re coming from battle droids or storm troopers.

To be fair, Hera is just pulling the same strategy Luke would pull during the Battle of Hoth. Luke: Rogue Group lets make runs at the enemy in the only direction those walkers weapons can face. Also the Empire. Veers: My Lord, shall we bring down mobile anti-aircraft support for our forces? Vader: What is anti-aircraft support? Veers: A mobile platform that provides cover to our forces from air attacks. The country we are based off of called National Socialist Germany is famous for having many versions of them, as well as the other nation we get compared to called the Soviet Union during the Cold War. Vader: No. That would make our job too easy and we want the Rebels to have a sporting chance. (This is a joke folks, but it is a legit issue that I have with Star Wars ground battles. And Disney just makes things worse by creating battles worse than Hoth.) But yes under Disney combat scenes have gotten worse. Whether its Lightsaber duels (they look like two people trying to beat each other with baseball bats rather than actual swordsman), Ground battles or Space battles. Disney just sucks at making even decent action scenes. I'll go back to watching the Dogfight series if I want my dogfight highs, cause at least the 3d recreations are entertaining and actually keep my interest; even when the series can get some things wrong.

Only Leia and her closest allies (not Han and Luke, though) did, creating the Resistance as a separate organization from the republic that, while supporting the Resistance, was still only mildly bothered.

As other replies mentioned, they had the capability to build but also SUPPLY (which presumably required resources on a scale ten times more vast than even the original Death Star which all but bankrupted the Imperial Navy and Tarkin himself wanted the Emperor to instead spend that money on dozens more superdreadnoughts or thousands more regular star destroyers which would have been much more useful in actually pacifying the galaxy) the planet death star, and yet despite there being ZERO chance that the republic didn't have any idea of these massive amounts of resources being refined and supplies being shipped all in one specific direction, as you said they just said "Nah, it'll be fine" right up until Diverse Lady watched the Starkiller blast heading straight for her. Also, on that note, how did literally nobody in the fucking Republic Navy find it strange that factions in the new republic were convincing them to pull the ENTIRE fleet into close orbit of the planet? They KNOW VERY WELL about superweapons capable of obliterating planets in a single blast, and yet thought nothing of 'demilitarizing' by pulling everything in close to the planet LMAO, it's writing so bad only a mother could love it, and by mother I mean KK.

Thrawn in the old books was one of the most beloved antagonists due to a multilayering of mystery and ability. He's a Chiss (an alien from the unknown regions) who rises to the rank of Admiral in a highly xenophobic empire. Palpatine, dispite the empires distate for anything nonhuman, sees such value in Thrawn's stratigic ability that he gives him one of the highest ranks and just keeps him out of the way of the other admirals as he knows they would ignore the Chiss because he's got blue skin and red eyes. Pellaeon (a human) is his first officer who has massive respect for Thrawn due to the way he leads and ruins anyone he comes up against in battle, and the only reason it all comes to an end is betrayal by his bodyguard at a critical moment. Although we later find that he had a back up plan incase that happened..... he was THAT good! Its sad that the Legacy books are not considered canon, especially when the story of this Admiral is one of bigotry, racism and how he overcomes that through knowledge and actions..... its like the perfect woke story wrapped up in a bow with a Star Wars sticker stuck straight on top to excite all the old fans and introduce new ones to a collection of amazing stories...... what a bunch of twats Disney are atm!

Meanwhile, the woke mob is up in arms about microaggressions while ignoring, say, the beatings the Saudi religious police dole out on a regular basis.

As Drinker put it, it's quite literally up to the whims of whichever writer is writing Current Project. One almost might wonder if it's by design. Disney seems to be doing their best to de-mystify the entire Star Wars IP, removing everything that made it special and turning it into more by the numbers slop like the MCU. If (and when) Thrawn shows up but gets immediately #GirlBoss put in his place by witch(?) lady (I can never remember her name LMAO) and is forced to grovel before her to get the right to command the Imperial Remnant navy, we will have our final proof that yes, this was always KK's goal. She suffered long enough assisting those evil Manfolks like Lucas and Spielberg who got all the credit and money and accolades (never mind that it's because THEY invented the fucking IPs and the stories, and she was just essentially hired help), now she will show EVERYONE that their work is not as respectable and fun and worth enjoying as we thought!!! Her pathological need for 'revenge' has led to this constant bombardment of female characters with zero character other than "Me strong, men bad" played by actresses who get on stage and clearly know nothing about Star Wars, even Disney Star Wars, but what they DO know and gladly harp on and on about, is how diverse they are and how strong their character is... I wonder why that is?

A useful contrast to the "I'm such a stoic badass that I just seem bored no matter how much my life is in danger" of these gerlbosses and modern action films in general is the classic Master and Commander, where they are visibly bearing up stoically to the horrific damage and carnage that was entailed in repeated cannon broadsides of the time. The Stephen Maturin character is especially masterful in portraying his suppressed extreme stress whilst triageing in his dark and blood soaked little ship hospital as the ship is being shaken by cannon fire. That my friends, that's a masterful portrayal of grace under pressure.

Agreed. A personal favorite of mine is Spencer Tracy in "Northwest Passage" (1940.) Tracy put on a clinic on how to portray leadership and command presence as the legendary Robert Rogers in that film. Tracy's "Major Rogers" is the kind of leader that one would follow into combat. Late in the movie, Rogers' Rangers on a grueling march are starving and exhausted with the only things keeping them going is Rogers' leadership and his promise that at their destination there will be food, warmth, and shelter. As they near the place, Rogers runs ahead and discovers that he's been cruelly let down. There is no food. Knowing that the promise that he made to his men won't be kept, he breaks down in tears. When his men approach giddy with anticipation for the food, he quickly composes himself and resumes the mantle of command before his men can fall into total despondency. (Does anyone think modern Hollywood would allow a "girlboss" to have such a moment of even a temporary weakness such as Tracy's Rogers' heartbroken tears?)

The worst part for me, was when they were completely dead in the water and being attacked by three fighters. For some reason even that isn't enough for the fighters to even damage their ship, because they all just fly into melee range trying to hit Ahsokas lightsabers. The plot armor is so thick, that there is no tension at all and everyone is so stupid, that you can always just count on them to do the worst possible thing. Like build a huge hyperspace ring, but only put weapons on one side of it, for some reason.

You couldn't tell if they had dropped out, and if you didn't see them change direction you were screwed. You could also sort of tell when something was going to arrive near your.

@JeffNyman 9 ай бұрын
But worth noting that when Ashley played the character, the Jedi order wasn't fully destroyed, the galaxy wasn't under the thrall of an Empire and her master wasn't a Sith. That might tend to change someone's demeanor a little bit; make them a little cynical, etc. I actually find a more grown up Ashoka a bit refreshing. I think it contrasts well with how Ashoka was played in Clone Wars and Rebels.

​@@jcore0981A lot of people claim Obi-Wan did lose his personality in the Obi-Wan show! That was one of the main complaints about it. That he was defeatist. I personally didn't see it that way. I saw him more as a realist who had to be pushed back into action. But even so: who cares? Obi-Wan and Ashoka are two different people. People react differently to events in different ways. That's been the basis of fiction -- which is the basis of life -- since we've been around. How we react to circumstances. What shapes our behaviors given the events that happen to us. Good fiction forces you to confront characters who may become something you don't entirely like. And root for them to overcome it. Or at least come to terms with it.

Nah, not 1000+mph, it's probably 20-50m/s in order to stay in the frame for half a second. 250mph would be around 110m/s or 360 feet/second. At some point, they do have to slow down, so it's hard to know what's going on. The camera is probably a football field away, so if it's going past the camera in half a second, it should be simple enough to calculate based on her height, and the length of the lightsaber in pixels, along with the parallax. I'd guess it's closer to 80-100mph. A proper maneuver would be to pincer, slow the formation for a wider pass, and attack at a 30' fire pattern, then slow to stop to tow the ship back. Theoretically, you wouldn't stop to board a ship in a fighter craft, but you also wouldn't sortie past either. The reason being, they could be playing dead, and the other 2 fighters would have to pursue if they evade or move out of range, i.e. snap into hyperdrive or explode, sic. Everything else though, yes. She'd probably rip her arms off with the difference in mass as the saber plasma passes through the metal. The way a saber works now, seems to be almost imaginary at times. The fact that the lightsaber can absorb immense amounts of kinetic energy and not send Ahsoka off into space like a pinball, is ludicrous. It could probably achieve insane feats if a large enough saber beam was created, like cutting through a planet, or destroying a sun, et al.

He didn't rule by fear or threats of violence directed against his subordinates. He was extremely smart, competent, and a technical genius. His subordinates revered him.

Hera, the ACTUAL Hera from the Rebels animated series would have hopped into her ship with Chopper, her son, went to pick up her former crew members (Zeb and Kallus) and gone to help Ahsoka and Sabine whether she got resources or not. Hera was "the mother" in Rebels. She WOULD NOT let her "family" be hung out to dry.

From the bits and pieces I have seen of Rebels and the EU, Thrawn would actually be a very interesting character to adapt into the universe, which they did of course with Rebels and those scenes are still pretty decent, but at this point, I think that they (both the Empire in universe and Disney out of universe) need Thrawn because he is good for marketing and because he is the only antagonistic force that has more than two brain cells

The disney "thrawn" really just remind me the quote from wraith squadron mercy kill: "What I don't get is this whole Grand Admiral Thrawn thing. Every hopped-up junior officer tries to be like him. Elegant, inscrutable... and an art lover. Being an art lover doesn't make you a genius, you know." Rebels' thrawn wasn't... bad, but I don't think he up to the standard of THE Thrawn. And I definitely don't have faith at whatever "thrawn" they are going to put in now.

The guys didnt even get to mention the horrible drawn out training scene. The scene with Luke in the original was clearly meant to be a quick explanation of the force and how it could help you and be tapped into, improvised with what equipment was on hand to demonstrate. Then the Jedi temple in the prequels and Ahsoka's dojo have the same pilots helmet with blast shield as standard training equipment... Edit: my bad they hit it in the longer open bar

it seems that at some point we can't distinguish plot armor from other bad writing things. The apathy of the three main characters for the danger of the situation they're coming in is like the writers themselves got numb as they knew nothing bad would happen, and so, the dogfight was just for spetacule. Either that, or they really don't get the action/adventure genre.

One point I see everyone overlook so far. How could a map that was made a few thousand years ago know where a certain person was going to be exiled in the future? How do our bad guys know where Thrawn ended up? If they knew the space squidwhales took him how do they know they took him to another galaxy and not somewhere else in their own galaxy, like the unknown regions or wild space? And why in the universe would space witches make a map solely based on space squidwhales migration lanes thousands of years ago and put it in a temple hidden behind a puzzle you need to figure out to get it?

They’re bored because they’re living in that video game where someone typed in the cheat code that meant the bad guys couldn’t ever deal damage, Here, the cheat code was the Epic Girl Boss card they played. We already saw with with the character who can’t even die with a lightsaber to the belly. Of course you’d be bored. Only a 12 year old thinks that’s fun. (Speaks volumes to the maturity of the people writing and directing these shows though)

I have a theory as to why Sabine did not die from the light saber impaling her. She is so hollow inside as a character, as is Ahsoka, that there are no organs to damage. As is obvious from the lifeless acting, neither character has a heart that a light saber could pierce.

All of the Force related concepts are directly from George Lucus and have been part of Star Wars Lore for a long time. We have seen Jedi and clone troopers fight outside shops in the Clone Wars as well. Having Sabine integrate her Mando fighting style and ability with the Force can only make her more effective in assisting Ahsoka. I also like what Nerd and Star Wars Theroy briefly touched on about people like Han Solo topping into some level of the Force without realizing it to be such a good pilot.
