Yeah I'm in the same boat but instead of me, my mother is an Ahsoka fan and unfortunately she still is. I remember telling her when ahsoka showed up in mando it wasn't her. My mother just goes with whatever is thrown at her and she told me that "no they she was preformed perfectly" and that i was just an uneducated hater. What bothered me the most about that episode was how mercilessly kills the ladies guards. Something I noticed as a child watching clone wars was she wouldn't kill. She did if she had too but she would rather force push them away.

I miss snips. That was literally her thing. I would have loved to see that mature as a character trait, not disappear.

I was thinking the exact same thing

I was out the second, they announced Dawson for portraying Ahsoka. She can´t move, she´s unable to mimik. All the protagonists, Ahsoka, Sabine, Hera, no longer have anything to do with the characters from the animated series. Thrawn will be trans, and Ezra will be gay, for sure.

I haven't watched this series. I don't think I will to be honest. But my take from the trailers? It has the Dad just passed away and everybody is gathering for the funeral vibe. There is no energy, no emotion. Everybody is just numb.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. This is the problem with the new show. Shame that these guys missed that

I know rebels had problems, but damn I miss those versions of the characters

I liked Mary Elizabeth Winstead in FInal Destination 3 but she's really unconvincing as Hera. Very very unlike the one we saw in Rebels. And Rebels was already a mediocre show.

@@KhukuriGod💯👍

@@KhukuriGod She was a cutie in Scott Pilgrim.

The voice actress for Hera in Rebels was very good and had previously voiced Mary Jane on The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Exactly! Her stoicism in this particular show is incongruous to what we saw in the animated show. It's really weird.

I agree, I feel Ike yes she should be a bit more stoic since she's a bit older but she doesn't have to be a plank of wood.

You guy's may be thinking of a younger Ashoka, near the end of rebels she was much more self reflective and less impulsive.

Which is why I wish Ashley Eckstein was cast to portray Ahsoka

@@BattleDamageProps I think so too but you can be older and mature without being boring....but I think it's how they've shaped all older Jedi characters somewhat.

That's why I collect physical media 👍

But if it's minutes watched they're after one would think that a show that is not filled dead space would get more viewing time in the long run, no? I just can't make sense of what they're doing these days.

The weird thing is that it costs them money to store and stream it, so minutes watched is a _downside._ The only metric that _actually_ matters is whether it brings in or retains subscriptions. Their princess is always in another castle.

Looking at their revenue, this strategy pays off great 😂😂😂

Reject streaming, return to cable and dvds

That's a typical trope used in a lot of stories.

That part absolutely broke me. You would expect that Ahsoka would know Sabine enough to know what she was going to do...

To me that only says that Ahsoka's circle of trust is limited, especially when it comes to the New Republic.

@@BonafideShaunDent A very stupid trope and the sign of a lack of creativity in a situation like this.

To be fair, she found it and promptly learned a new republic cruiser had hijacked the prisoner who lead her to it. I would hesitate to leave it outside my immediate reach as well.

Nah, they should've armed them with mini-deathstar lasers.

Yeah, my first thought was, a few of those droids, and their self destructs could have won the clone wars all by themselves

The grey sand was explosive so it was a chain reaction.

I get the self-destruct. Self-destruct to take out the target even if damaged or disabled is a nice feature to have. City-block leveling self-destruct is where it gets really ridiculous. Just drop a bomb then.

@@MNToThat Source?

The weird ancient mcguffin that points to a person or thing, AT a specific time and place, MADE a long time ago and hidden somewhere. Is that the best they can do?

​@@ph4se2that requires effort and basic intelligence. That is absolutely beyond them.

​@@ph4se2my theory is they are terrified of contemporary world building details. If they made things logical it would involve confirming much about the way the world works and that limits their future writing options to fit continuity *but* ancient temples and nebulous maps are vague and mysterious so they escape the same level of scrutiny.

It's 476 AD for Lucasfilm.

@@SolarDragon007 SOOO TRUE. Modern Lucasfilm is the next Western Roman Empire

Ahsoka talking about Vader. Ahsoka, the girl who went through hell and back with Anakin. Was not afraid to show emotion but always got back up no matter how hard she was thrown down, even if she felt betrayed by the entire Jedi order and the Republic. Now she hardly has emotional range. Even Episode 5 puppet Yoda has more expressive emotions than her. Disney is not even trying to get it right

Disney never cared for anything so why should we? I'll probably never watch any "new" star wars now. If anything, watch clonewars not this junk

I watched both episodes today. My take would be that these characters are now older and have become more jaded, especially because they are in higher political or military positions, thus more "stoic". I do like the mercenary "jedi or sith" or whatever they are, especially at the end of the second episode. I loved Rebels, and I could see this going to good places, but the intro gives me too many Game of Thrones vibes... We'll just have to wait and see what they do next.

@@RaptorRockDrakeJesusPreach

@@misterwtf7380 _But this is live action_ 🧌

Yeah, I love how lightsabers will instantly burn through armored doors, and once plunged into the door will immediately start melting the metal around it, but when stabbed through a human body they only leave small wound the diameter of the blade. 🤔

It's a shit storyline because it's a bastardized version of Heir to the Empire but with Dave Filoni OCs.

​@@GeraltofRivia22 a-fucking-men

There are parts of the body where being stabbed isn't immediately life threatening plus lightsaber would instantly cauterize the wound.

They had to add that line since they made Sabine Les in one of the comics.

You sure it wasn't global warming that caused the heart attack? Pretty sure I read something in the news about that. I also find it amusing that droids are destroyed by a poke from a light saber now, but people are fine. You'd think it'd be the opposite, silly me.

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Drinker has gone from "critical" to "cynical", a casual viewer with little to no insight. Every stream I hear the same bollocks, so they don't provide anything new to the conversation for 2 years now.

True, I stopped watching Disney star war after Mando series 1. Yet I keep catching the surgical break downs here ...

I don't think it is funny, mate...

Well, chopper was Filoni. It can be physically emotive like a silent movie while uttering a single vocal noise and have far more emotional range than any of the humanoid representations. The show is bad live action cosplay. Ahsoka and the others should have stayed in the cartoon version of the Star Wars universe.

Yup, there were only 64 possible combinatioms (4 x 4 x 4) but they had to fly to another planet to get a 30 year old acting like a teenager to solve it.

Sabine had plot armour made of beskar

Yeah, the droid could just bruteforce even a more complicated puzzle.

When is travel instantaneous here?

​@@oXRaptorzXo Hyperspace jumps are not instanteous and take time depending on the hyperdrive used by the ship. That is a Disney problem as they not only completly forgo the passing of time, but also disregard it in the story telling. Every single jump to another planet is displayed as basically instanteous, with no time passed. Unless you want to suggest that Sabine took days to grab her armor, cut her hair and move to the inner city and then waited there for at least a day or two for Ashoka to show up.

@@2nd_Directorate Disney does have a problem with the hyperspace stuff as seen in Kenobi. It’s not present here in this show. Why would Sabine take days to grab her armor. Her home is minutes away from the main city. And hyperspace jumps don’t take a whole day or two. They can take a few hours, or yeah maybe a day if it’s a really far jump.

@@oXRaptorzXo Even core routes from systems close to eachother take several hours. After that we take about a day to several days. Weeks if you want to get from one end of the galaxy to the other. And that is the time a ship like the Millenium Falcon or SD´s take. That is old canon. The problem in Ahsoka is that these times might be there, but if they are not depicted they would have to be rationalized. Which shouldn´t be the job of the audience. Case in point. We see Sabine´s armouring up , directly followed by her call to Ahsoka that she is ready. Next scene is Ahsoka arriving, greeted by Sabine. Not one indication of any time past. So yes, it IS a problem in Ahsoka too. What makes it bad is that you take out all stakes or makes it absurd if you do not establish travel time , should some event arrive which needs a character to reach a destination under time pressure.

@@2nd_Directorate the show doesn’t have to show the time passing. That would just pad out the runtime with unnecessary scenes of them in hyperspace. Also, your times just aren’t right. It’s never takes several hours to get to a nearby system, and it’s never taken weeks to cross the galaxy. If that were the case then travel would be remarkably inefficient

Butlins is pretty peak

goddamn i guess i laughed much harder than i should have :D

Butlins is pretty tragic but Pontins is on a whole nother level lads.

He wrote thrawn in revels... And had him being defeted by a child soldier and a couple of space whales, so...

Its not that hard you just make the villain aware of the script and wrote him always a step ahead from everybody else, its like plot armor for cool villains, just like joker always has something on his sleeve

@@ryckarduhryckarduh180That's a great point. However, allow me to ask you a simple question: From what we have seen thus far in Ahsoka, Mando, and Book of Boba Fett, do you really think Filoni is capable of writing something simple like that, and writing it well? My point is that because he's...not the sharpest writer in the drawer, he'll completely botch Thrawn's character. There are plenty of ways to mess a character like that up. For instance, the writers could write Thrawn acting off information that he himself doesn't have yet, because they can't keep track of what each character knows and doesn't know. They could write him to make a prediction that is contingent on so many moving parts outside of his control and that rely on billion-to-one odds, but somehow the plan works perfectly because of luck. And FINALLY, when he is defeated (I assume they'll have to defeat him at some point, because otherwise the First Order would never have failed), he could loose in a really dumb way because he needs to loose and the writers (Dave) couldn't figure out an intelligent way for him to be defeated. THAT is what I'm concerned about. The characters are only as intelligent as the people who write them. You cannot have someone like Dave Filoni write someone who's entire identity is based on his intelligence.

@@sanholo2483 He was off-planet at the time, he only just got there when they had taken control of the dome. If his dorito hadn't been flying above the city, the space whales would have been useless. The rebels needed to have control of the dome for their plan to work. To go further back, the rebels were able to capture Governor Pryce by tricking her into thinking that Ryder Azadi was betraying them. Thrawn, as child soldier said, would never have fallen for that. Thrawn's defeat in rebels was out of his control, he was called off-planet by Emperor Space Rasin. He didn't know about the space whales, so he couldn't have planned for them. That's not to say that the rebels' plan shouldn't have failed in multiple ways, but Thrawn's defeat wasn't his fault by any means. Same thing with the attack on Planet Bendu: One officer was like, "nah, I'm tired of this shit", and decided to leave his position and attack even though Thrawn told him not to.

@@Dr.Pelican-bw2zs oh I quit after mandalorian season 2, they're not fooling me again, and I never cared for starwars animated series I was just saying in general but if what you say about filoni being a dummy is true than yeah Im guessing he cant write characters smarter than him

the bacta/medical lore has been pretty inconsistent with disney, certainly. based more on convenience for plot. That said I would assume based on EU for bacta to have the ability to minimize scarring... But again. Inconsistent.

The problem was that it is in really poor taste to have a character get stabbed in a seemingly lethal way in the first episode only for it to be totally fine.

genuinely don't know if you are mocking the show or the commentary. The show is so bad I don't see how it could be anything other than mocking that, but my understanding of that phrase as a non american tends to lean the other way.

@@randomperson8405 Didn't really mean it as a mock of either to be honest. Strictly my interpretation of the quote, as an event so bad that no one can come up with the best way to ask questions or report about it, and yes Ahsoka is so bad, I don't know how anyone can watch it. As for the Drinker and his panel, it just felt like they were trying so hard to present a balanced, honest review of the show and not just a pile on of hate bashing Disney, LucasFilm and Ahsoka.

So you care some now.

As an American I love his accent. I could listen to him talk about anything. Anyone else feel like that?

They should have just put one of the questlines into live action and would be a no brainer success. Agent comes to mind. No need to change anything. It was good enough.

Nothing will ever be dumber that Rey holding that knife that pointed to the death star's.... entrance? Or something, I dont rewatch crap. I mean who the hell made a knife that fits with how the crashed death star looks above the water? That was just hilarious...ly bad

Can confirm. I've played like 4 games that has Kyle Katarn as either the main character or a central side character, and I have no idea who Thrawn even is. 😅

Who?

Kyle Katarn is great. That was my biggest problem with Andor: that they took Katarn away and put in Andor

Honestly never heard of Katarn before; very curious, though. Who is he?

​@Slipstream317 he's the main character of the Dark Forces games, he later becomes one of Luke Skywalker's first Jedi and a founding member of the new Jedi. I'm pretty sure he's your characters instructor in the Jedi Academy titles and those are awesome games.

It makes no sense indeed. Reminds me of that Sith dagger in the sequel trilogy. That was plain stupid too. But there is even a bigger plot hole: why would anyone of the remaining imperials want Thrawn to return? However (highly) respected, no one in the imperial ranks liked him. One would assume that there are plenty of other pretenders to Palpatine's throne for whom Thrawn's absence (stuck in another galaxy!) Would be just what they needed. Why all these efforts to get him out? Mskes no sense to me.

A McGuffin with no hunting for it or work. Very strange.

This will for sure be explained later. Thrawn was banished to a location. The map leads to that location not to thrawn

@@toby7802none of the imperials besides Morgan’s people I guess are trying to bring back Thrawn. Thrawn is return on his own with his own fleet that Ezra banished along with himself to the other galaxy. Also read above comment

100% this is also the problem. ppl that didnt watch rebels have no idea so they are confused. the show should have done a rebels montage catch up.

@@breakupgooglebut with the context, it’s not as bad as recent Disney Star Wars SO FAR, it could definitely take a turn for the worse.

Rebels S03E15 Kenan (while talking to Hera) implies Sabine's Mando training has cut her off from the force. There are other like subtle hints like the Bendu staring at her long enough for it to be a deliberate hint and the presence of 3 birds watch Kenan, Ezra and Sabine train. Feloni was big on symbolism and animals and birds representing a presence of the force.

Ugh 🥱

100% thats why i like it. i loved rebels and i get many wont. I can deal with slow pace bc i know these characters. for ppl that dont i can see this being boring.

Well, I certainly enjoyed the first two episodes of every season of Rebels more than these of Ahsoka, but there's still material left.

As a non-Rebels fan (I've watched the entire series and found it very mediocre, with only a few good episodes), I was never interested in this show. But it honestly sounds a lot worse than Rebels based on these guys' takes. Ezra and Sabine were already Mary Sues back in that series, so you know they're going to amplify the identity politics for a modern Disney+ show.

So just wait until the important characters I like show up? Got it.

That’s no excuse for not creating interesting stories before that though? You don’t have to focus on an overarching story to be memorable if you can tell smaller stories well - like how Tells of Ba Sing Se from Avatar: The Last Airbender is technically a breather episode, yet still managed to be one of the most well-liked episodes of an already pristine show.

I found Mrs Ewan McGregor way worse as Hera

Not sure if it the actress that don't have much range or the director that making it so.

@@MNToThat💯

@@MNToThatMary Elizabeth Winstead just isn’t good here

I didn’t like it either. Watch them make Sabine lesbian now with Shin or something 😭

Imo, trying to make them siblings now is a bad creative decision and can probably be chalked up to Filoni being flighty about romance in his projects. If Filoni wanted them to be siblings from the start, he shouldn't have made Ezra initially like her and then never taken concrete steps to make them seem more like siblings. He also shouldn't have made the Ashoka promotional materials so suggestive of Sabine having feelings for him. Feels like a jerk-around, and one I don't appreciate.

I agree with this completely, unless Dave Filoni has a incest kink it’s not as if such things have not been implied in Star Wars before cough cough hoth.

Yeah… that actually kills the tiny bit of interest I had in the show (I was gonna check it out after the season ended). You could (and many fanfics did) portray Ezra and Sabine as siblings based on seasons 1 and 2 (especially season 2 since they worked well together and Ezra had dropped the bad flirting attempts), but the last two seasons make that utterly impossible, and that entire sequence is an insult to the characters and the relationship they had in the show.

Ezra and Sabine have no future together. Filoni wants her for himself.

No kidding! 😂

Lmao😂😂😂 would be 1000x better than what we got

Ahsoka as the 'unnamed' (non existent) apprentice stole the humanity and action-hero characterization from Anakin, first thing. When he's standing there, like a dufus and she has to be the one to one-up him, dropping stone henge on the battle droids which he allowed to walk up on him. Anakin became a guest star on his own show, in that moment. Add to which that Ahsoka is the one who is flatly _evil_. Taking chances which force others to rescue her from her own stupidity, asserting authority in situations (Y-wing attack) where she clearly has no clue what she's doing, gettting multiple clone pilots killed and then waxing philosophical about how this was a 'learning experience' for her and how dare anyone stop her from doing it again. Before, ORDERING Anakin, who is about to go running back into the bowels of the ship, to not go because this is irresponsible. She is a glory hound who is completely lacking in ability to offset her ego. And who is given 'specialness' because of what is between her legs, without recognition that testosterone is a male mood stabilizing hormone for a reason: we are the built-for-it warriors who do what we do, aggressively, because women cannot. They lack the strength. They lack the wisdom to know right from wrong. They lack the cognitive prowess as eternal adolescents trapped in a teenaged body which averages 5'4" tall and (in the healthy versions) is under 100lbs. Ahsoka is symptomatic of an effeminized society in which women want to be men but refuse to acknowledge what estrogen has done to them, physically and mentally, to take them down another path. And the sad part is, they are so lacking in imagination and self-awareness that women don't realize they are not 'proving something' by taking over a male heroic fantasy. They are simply showing how little creative spark they have in wanting what the boys have and then ruining it. Because they cannot generate their own fictional environment where they can Barbie-be-kewl follow a totally fictional set of in-universe rules. It's as though they know they completely lack any legitimacy in their ideation of how it should all be a girl-world and so simply exist to lamprey themselves onto better, more balanced, existence of all male drama. So as to maintain the pretense of it's achieved dramatic presentation. While not acknowledging how they are sucking the soul out of it with the poison of their own character-insert wannabe lead envy. This is stupid, if for no other reason than that no female is ever going to be asked to go off to war and take the risks a soldier does and thus women do not need nor deserve a heroic fantasy around which to build the ego of a sacrificial protector gender. Ahsoka is heart of the problem. And always has been. She cannot exist on her own, fighting her own gender, she only enjoys success in destroying that which women, clearly, _hate_ with an unending envy that wants to be what they seek to destroy: male.

As Huyang said, her aptitude for the force falls short of every padawan he’s ever seen. Also, Sabine hasn’t worn her armor in years. She’s obviously quit her training, they weren’t looking for Ezra cause they thought he was dead until now, so she has had no need to wear her armor. The reason she has it on 99% of the time is rebels is actually very simple. Same reason every character wears the same clothes all the time. You see this in cartoons all the time

@@oXRaptorzXo I get the animation budgeting thing, sure, but live action shows back up my point of view---what Mandalorian in the Mandalorian, even ones *NOT* part of the Children of the Watch, were ever seen outside their armor, even when sitting at leisure? For the sake of argument, let's say she only wears it when she knows she's going into combat, and hasn't done that for years...okay. She just got jumped by two droids at the top of a big-ass communications tower/efficiency apartment and the last droid stole the Macguffin and beat her to the elevator. She should at least have thrown on her helmet and the jetpack (which, I'd imagine, involves also wearing the torso armor). And as far as Huyang's statement, I'd wager this is simply a reference to her lack of training, not any statement about her innate force ability. I doubt she'll be played up as particularly powerful---I think they had to have learned *something* from Rey the Mary Sue---but I'd wager she's not going to be portrayed as having only one or two midichlorians rolling around in her innards, either.

@@valecrassus7835 Sabine hasn’t been in a battle for years, yeah, that’s why she isn’t wearing her armor. She’s not exactly a strict religious mando. And after being attacked by the droids, again, it takes time to put on armor. Attaching the jetpack requires the chest plate to be attached (does she even have a jetpack? I forgot), and the helmet, sure she could’ve put it on but it wouldn’t do anything except make her vision less clear really. Huyang said her “aptitude for the force would fall short of them all,” so take that how you wish

​@@oXRaptorzXo She's in pursuit of a droid ostensibly fleeing with an All Important MacGuffin(tm). The character would have known it was worth a full minute or more to strap on the armor and then pursue, even if the droid had hopped a speeder bike the instant it hit ground level. Instead, she spends time fishing a lightsaber she out of a box sitting *right* in front of her armor and helmet, stares meaningfully at it for a long few seconds, then charges out of the SAME elevator the droid took. If the droid bothered smashing everything on her table and planned on getting away (which she DOES notice---she spends a long moment looking at the table before digging in a closed box for the lightsaber), she would certainly figure there's a very good chance would have trashed her speeder bike if it was parked downstairs. So...jetpack good. Yes, she has a jetpack. Acquired sometime in season 3 of Rebels. Mandalorian helmets don't negatively affect Mandalorians. I cannot see any real reasoning that would justify, even in the heat of the moment, NOT putting on armor that can stop blasters, lightsabers, and can fly in favor of running out the door with nothing but a melee weapon she hasn't been practicing with. It was a resoundingly stupid move and rather out of character at that.

@@valecrassus7835 the enemy ship wasn’t far away. In the minute it would take Shin would’ve just left and gotten away. And no obviously the helmet is good but it’s not really helpful if you don’t have the rest of the armor. She still would’ve been stabbed all the same and if anything the helmet limits vision.

Recently I've started skipping the guys' reviews, because it stopped being thoughtful. Everything became boring, slow, uninteresting, and there is no effort (especially AZ) and no hint of deeper analysis. And if I hear disparu saying "dangly bits" again, I am gonug to puke. Not saying they are wrong, but it became so stale (Except Mauler, I could watch him for hours, which is the requirement actually). My favourite thing is when they whinge about small frame women beating jocks. I'll repeat, comic book nerds whinge about women beating bigger guys. AZ is a Batman fan (so I've heard). I guess in his world Cassandra Cain,Barbara Gordon, and Lady Shiva would die almost immediately :)

@@lobokop69Not surprising, the audience makes it easy for them.

@@lobokop69yeah, they say the same lines every time

Same my 14 yr old son was checked out. Couldn't get through ep 2

Yea couldn't get through ep 2

Yep, it's a joyless slog like Mando season 3, I won't be inflicting any more Diznee Star Wars on myself from here on in

Filoni didn’t make mando or boba Fett. He did like one episode of each I believe and they were both the best of their shows

Because these modern-day writers don't understand military structure or chain of command.

Based on leaked Lego set from the series, Hera’s son will appear eventually

Heras son is 100% confirmed to be in the show but go off 😂

Maybe because the games can get delisted once EA no longer wants to use the license.

Blackmail.

I would wager it is entirely unfair to a work of art to try and judge its choices based solely on modern convention. People were different. They consumed media different. Their lives were different. What we may perceive as slow and sloppy simply wasn't slow and sloppy to them. Hell, they would probably say that our modern editing styles are nauseating, choppy, inorganic and, in many cases, completely devoid of humanity.

I think its just Feloni's lack of directing chops tbh

@@MNToThat💯💯

Ahsoka has gotten stoic over time. Just watch s1 cw, s7 cw, s2 rebels

My man, plz watch clonewars it is night and day compared to this garbage. See the show that made this dumb show happen.

I dunno mate, if seems to me you're making the same mistake I did watching WandaVision, assuming they did stuff a certain way because of how much they care about characters backstories, since I've heard several times that showrunners are ordered to not check characters backgrounds or past sagas even when they're trying to somehow recreate that same saga, I'll have to assume these characters arent the way they are because of the people they lost, as of now I would even be surprised if they were aware of any of that, crazy I know, so I have to assume that the typical strong-female-lead-no-nonsense-girl-boss disney template just happened to fit by mistake

@@ryckarduhryckarduh180 hmmm, I get your point but I think it’s too early to say so, a lot to consider but we won’t know until we see the rest of the show! Would be unfortunate if these characters are “different versions from the show that fits our narrative for them and that’s why they are a bit different” angle

@@SinnerMann you better be right, starwars really needs some good news

@@ryckarduhryckarduh180 man I hear you, they keep going down like this they will never recover
