Ahsoka didn't save anyone. Those troopers were never going to shoot them. They took up positions, but didn't fire ... because their target said "wait"? Really? The guy responsible for stranding them here in a completely different galaxy, and who is now the target of this mission that might delay them from getting home, and has killed several of their buddies, just hours before their exile ended, said "wait" and they listened, instead of taking the chance to get revenge? I don't buy it. They were not under the command of Darth Bangs, because their boss, Grand Admiral Thrawn, does not consider her and Baylen to be part of their forces. So her command to fire was not going to be obeyed. After Ahsoka comes in snarling like she's about to be raped by Colin Farrell, she takes up position between Ezra & Sabine against Darth Bangs, but there are troopers BEHIND Ezra & Sabine. Ahsoka is not preventing them from shooting their targets at all. And don't try to sell me on Imperial discipline. This batch has none of it. One of the troopers stops fighting and reacts when the guy next to him goes down. The whole point of military discipline is to prevent exactly that kind of disruption in the fight. The TIE pilots later on do the same thing, flinching when Ahsoka's craft flies directly at them, instead of keeping their hands on the controls and dodging so it can't hit them both. Darth Bangs were also not a threat, because she is utterly incompetent with a lightsaber. She fights Sabine, who has almost no Force powers or training, three times, and fails to defeat her twice. The first time, facing Sabine her opponent has no Force powers, either, and she manages to stab her clear through the torso, but miss every vital organ in her body. Remember what Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber did to the blast doors on the bridge of the Lucrehulk (Trade Federation flagship, for the -slow kids- really devout Ahsoka fans)? But Darth Bangs is so bad with the lightsaber that even with that kind of damage potential, she can't kill Sabine. Here and now? In this scene? With some apparent capacity to use the Force, plus a Force-skilled companion, plus -plot armor- beskar protection? Sabine is beyond any ability of this idiot to kill. In summation, the video is mistitled, because the enemies were incompetent and the troopers undisciplined and clearly had no intention of killing Sabine & Ezra. Ahsoka saved them from almost no real danger.
That's not on Dawson. She can act, she is not stiff. She was being directed to act this way, because someone has decided that all genre heroines have to be grim, stoic and reserved, and not "weak", by which I mean emotional. They are only allowed to show "manly" emotions, like rage or fury, and they are never allowed to be very worried or frightened or hurt or less than perfectly competent. Basically, Sabine & Ahsoka have the exact same personality on this show, but Dawson is a far better actor than Bordezzo, so she is able to eke out a glimmer of expression here and there behind the directorial or production mandate to be a implacable plank of wood.
I liked how Sabine was not above using her Mandalorian armor and weapons while employing her force skills and lightsaber. A truly formidable combination.
I just want Mara Jade's incredible fan made theme to be in Dave's heir to the empire movie, and be played at celebration with a full live orchestra when she's revealed in the trailer. And yeah, the music wasn't very memorable in the show, except for the end credits, but always listen to the soundtrack on it's own afterwards, and you'll hear how good it actually is, especially Thrawn's themes, Shin's themes, and the remixed Ahsoka and Sabine themes.

@Jcsharitz There are plenty of linen canvas that have rougher weaves. Sometimes the Venetians used Hemp to paint on because it is a strong material. In museums the weave is very easily seen as it was very rough. The ground that is put over it can smooth out a rough canvas weave.
@Jcsharitz Actually no. The Venetians were the first ones to make widespread use of canvas. Venice is too humid for wooden panels and they would warp. Canvas painting was basically started by the Venetians.
