Ahsoka Review Disney Star Wars Gets WORSE - Season 1 Episode 7 Dave Filoni's Failure 

You're a trooper, Dis 😉👍

He's not novel Thrawn alright. That guy took down an entire Trade Federation fleet when he was outnumbered a hundred to one.

Yo dude, mad props for beating reaper on uploading your review - his are shorter, usually come out before yours by like half a day, this was a pleasant surprise. He hits all main points necessary to illustrate how shit each episode is. You do that, but more comprehensively. You, him, and Grizzy are what I look forward to with each new Ahsoka dumpster fire. Almost a shame there's only one episode left to eviscerate and roast... then again, Acolyte is up next, and is likely to be total rubbish too.

0:45 politicians can be subject to their personal issues, generals aren't supposed to be...

6:22 okay... Do the writers know what court-martial means??? If Leia was that important that only her sanction can override a court martial, isn't she supposed to be here ??? They supposed to know all these... Why are they acting like Leia is the god of the military or something and if she sanctions something, then it's legal??? That's not how that works... They'll both be on trial... Plus this is she hulk all over again, you don't interrupt a court-martial, you don't even start up one without all the evidences...

Yep. Leia managed to turn a tribe of warrior aliens he used as bodyguards against him due to her being the daughter of Vader, who they used to serve. There was NO WAY anyone could have predicted or guessed this piece of info, and this is what makes the Thrawn Trilogy so good - all pieces fit with each other and with the OT.

I wonder if the Thrawn trilogy author Timothy Zhan is watching Ahsoka and wondering who the hell does he need to punch?

All correct. I believe it all happened on kashyyk. They called her lady Vader.

There was also the group of smugglers showing up on the battlefield at just the right time to mess with Thrawn's plans. He successfully bluffed where his attack would land. As such, a group of smugglers figured they choose the time of the Big Battle to rob a spaceport in a different system. You know, use the nearby battle as a nice distraction. Except Thrawn was always planning to hit that spaceport, and the smugglers wound up in the middle of a warzone. Their disruption allowed the NR forces to keep that spaceport and was one of the deciding factors of the war. Which, on top of the betrayal, lead to Thrawn's defeat. I just love how Thrawn's plan successfully failed. His feint worked, but it worked TOO well and it contributed to his defeat in a completely unforeseeable way.

Novel Thrawn was so cool and intriguing. Always two steps ahead of everyone and so chill about his schemes, he turned out be too clever for his own benefit and if Pellaeon had expressed his doubts about the Noghri perhaps Thrawn would've won. Such a compelling character.

That's such a plothole

I'm still confused how Ezra escaped a star drstroyer

For some reason the Night Sisters found Ahsoka only when she used the Force to find Sabine. That way it was aritten, it was implied that they tapped into the Force and Ahsoka gave her location up when she used the Force, same as when you are making a phone call, you get triangulated, which they literally did using the 3 balls (whoever came up with that idea needs to be fired). Ezra probably never used the Force, so the Sisters couldn't track him. But still, Thrawn says in episode 6 that he has intel on Ezra's "latest whereabouts", which means he was tracking him in some way, but probably felt Ezra was not important, because he couldn't do anything to hurt him at that point, so it didn't make sense to commit any resources to killing him, and potentially get some his troopers killed in the process.

Why bother? Ezra's gone native and the natives are useless.

​@@cristiancandru8610Ezra supposedly trained for 10 years in force only combat. That would require a lot of force use...

The Smug is stronger with her.

Poe even got slapped which was TOTALLY inappropriate.

Best part is that it's the same woman that slapped Poe that gave Hera the Okay.

YUP. It's only WRONG when a man does it! Women are not subject to rules. Let's GIRLBOSS it up!!

And what do these scenes have in common? Dumb Leia ruining things.

The fight choreography from Tattooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills (yes, that's the name of the Power Rangers rip-off show from 1990s) look better than that.

Just amazing that there's people like Shadiversity on RU-vid that could probably choreograph a better and proper fight scene for a fraction on the money and Disney was like, "f*ck all that!"

Though arguably not at bad as their terrible casting choices due to the primary qualification being not White.

This show is so amateurish. Seriously, it's like a mediocre fan film...

Facts that what that trash is

Nah, Leia can walk. Dunno how it works in US, but where I served if you got an order that contradicted a previous one, you are responsible for relaying that information to the second order-giver and they can decide if they still want the order followed through. If they say they do, you have to notify the original superiors about that. So basically, Hera is screwed either way

Yeah, except we find out that that's NOT what happened. Hera admits to the councilwoman that Leia did not give her orders or approve her actions until she had already disobeyed her superiors. Meaning not only should Hera be stripped of her rank, but C3PO should be taken into custody, even if he is just a droid. And Leia SHOULD be on trial for sending a droid to lie DURING A TRIAL on behalf of an insubordinate traitor.

It’s all cheap because the filmmakers are LAZY

Money laundering, just like the Rings of grifting.

They spent $10 on the show, and the rest was laundered.

Take huge budget, pocket half the money, use a quarter of the money for the actual show and bribe the everyone else with the remainder.

@@chasehedges6775 I have a feeling, that producers and writers takes alot to high salery.. there is no way this shit is more expensive per episode than Marco polo, that was amazing set pieces :O

Well she is a woman. "I don't want to be held accountable for my actions" literally is a woman's personality.

Modern feminist dream. All the power of men but none of the responsibility.

​@@cympimpin20as a woman, an actual biological female, can confirm you are correct. It's so embarrassing.

How do you write Women so well? " *I think of a Man, and I take away Reason and Accountability.* "- Jack Nicholson.

Seriously this is like a member of a senate budget committee going "oh actually I ok'd that illegal usage of military equipment despite contradictory orders from the joint chiefs of staff and the president"

Bad writing.

It's filoni they mixed leia's rebels privileges with the post rebelion downgrading

Leia didn't pardon Hera. Hera was being held accountable for using resources in an unsactioned mission. Leia made it sanctioned. (retroactively)

Still abuse of authority, and bad writing, but at least not a complete joke.

Well said

I wanted the “good guys” to just die die die.

@@TheRonaldbaxter same here. Especially when he kept saying “SHOOT THEM!” 😆

@@TheRonaldbaxter a lot of the natives did die. I know Sabine just mildly hurt some with her light saber. but others were shot with blasters.

He still outshines Sabine easily lmao. Turns down a saber to give her a chance. Easily beats shin.

@@oXRaptorzXo They do relise they were showing the actual sudent and Sabine has no force powers right? Basicaly they had the dumbest back and forth only for Sabine to pretent she is a jedi.

I got something that has been bugging me since the Ashoka live-action first seeing it but she should be so powerful with the forest and a lightsaber is mostly unnecessary against cannon fodder. Ezra and Ashoka theoretically could just disarmed them with a wave or Jedi mind trick, but they always have to break out light sabers

@@Raximus3000 rephrase, I don’t understand what your saying

@@aaronrowell6943 so could any Jedi ever. They still use the sabers

I dont think we can call this on Disney, we got the amazing Andor after all, a show that evaporates this piece of garbage at atomic level. They do have/can hire competent writers, producers, showrunners. I call this on Filoni, he is just a mediocre writer, at best, but they still give him freedom and opportunities to do what he wants. At this point he is not just "hit or miss" He is now a condecorated Stormtrooper, he misses all.

I loved SCI Miami, sometimes they would be under legal attack by their superiors but they would continue to solve the case and proving they didn't step aside the law they sworn to follow.

That's not a Disney thing, that's a Dave Filoni thing. He even repeated as his characters false surrendering all the time in Clone Wars.

@@danyknight9107 Andor is an exception in Disney SW in nearly every aspect, down to costume design.

She actually could argue herself out of it, considering what they have found is a credible threat, but she just acts like a batch...

Worse. Look at how the actor handles the Blaster. He knows what he is doing, looking clear down the sights and moves the barrel to point sight with a clean hunched down movement. This is in stark contrast to everyone else in this show, so one can assume once Feloni deemed it is finally time to let Ezra do something the actor took over.

@@2nd_Directorate >I don't need a weapon all I need is the force >picks up a "crude" weapon nothing like the "elegant" light saber he was just offered I mean I should have seen this coming. Prediction: The Mando movie? There's going to be 3 children riding on dragons and they're all going to be in full mando suits. They're going to dismount their dragons by jet pack and come down and land in a superhero pose. Before of course all 3 lighting up their light sabers. 2 of them will be female 1 male and the male will turn out evil.

The writers are immature leftists who believe any kind of governmental authority is bad by default.

Yep, it's framed like the General is correct and the senator is evil for being careful. It's moronic and somehow the SW shills are buying it.

Yup. That being said, it does kinda line up with how the government of California is running things atm.

@@pyrolight7568what

What

Yeah, at first I liked the scene but then having C3PO pop in to lie when just showing the logs would have saved her was just so stupid but I guess we have to get those old nostalia characters in one last time.

So idiotic and the fanboys will eat it up just because of the member-berry character lol

Similar to Sabine just not answering any questions from Ezra about how she's there etc Zero accountability Just smirks and he leaves it at that😤 We're supposed to believe she's risked it all and the galaxy for a guy she's sorta friends with. Because as a Disney female she obviously cannot be attracted to a man😂😂

@beefsuprem0241 oh she definitely wants him to blow her back out

Seriously, she had an entire squadron of ships with her running scans on the transgalactic ship. FUCKING SHOW THE SCANS YOU DAFT BITCH!!!!

They probably did we just couldnt tell the difference

Cos the show is made by a bunch of LA witches

Cos the show is made by a bunch of LA witches

They ruined so much in this show, even the Dathomirian Nightsisters. Remember when they made Darth Maul's brother into a hulking killing machine, and their leader almost killed Dooku with a voodoo doll over an open flame? That was oddly tough to watch even though he probably deserved it. Not to mention that those episodes of The Clone Wars (2008-2020), among all the others, were infinitely better than this crap.

@@mikeexits yeah I didn't really like the 3d version of the clone wars. The 2003 clone wars will always be the canon one for me. Disney and filoni are just steaming piles of bantha poodoo.

@@wookieninja8794 Hey, to each their own. I loved Samurai Jack but despite that I strongly prefer the 3D version of the Clone Wars. Star Wars and the EU are beautiful because there's so much material out there to appeal to many different tastes and preferences. Heck, there's even an official Star Wars R-rated horror novel!

I suppose its becuase jedi often held the rank of general which was the highest rank there, sort of was in the Republic I guess, so maybe that's why 🤷

You're assuming the writers have any knowledge of military chain of command.

​@@Unknownuser-co1pc by that logic, why would Vader bother promoting Piett to Admiral when he had General Veers there? For those that don't know, Veers was the guy he came to report to Vader of Hoth's planetary shield, and tried to explain Ozzels reasoning for why, but Vader interrupted him which was him telling Veers not to cover for Ozzel's blunder. Also for the Rebels, they had General Madine who organized the assault team on the shield generator on the Endor moon. You don't see Madine taking part of the attack on the Death Star. And for those that point to General Odanna from episode 4 who was in command of the attack on the Death Star, I think Generals have jurisdiction over starfighters placed over their watch. So instead of think Army, Air Force, Navy. Think the starfighters placement like back in WW2 where the Army and Navy had their own Air Forces attached and under their jurisdiction like with the US and Japan. Hera really should have been stationed on some planet or stuck under the command of an Admiral with her rank of General. Ie she'd have to be kissing the Admirals @$$ to get resources she need, even fighter squadrons.

The writers heard military sounding words while they were growing up and decided this was a good context to use them

Sadly there's precedence in the OT, when Han Solo and Lando were both made Generals... It's just carried over to and through Disney.

He had Captain Pellaeon, his second in command. If Thrawn is the equivalent to Sherlock Holmes, Pellaeon was his Watson. Alas, he was an honorable and dutiful imperial officer, and even worse, a MAN. We can't have that.

Just get one starship to hyperspace jump through it. It's canon now...

Lol, all is forgiven and NOT addressed!

Considering how much plot armor sabine has. She should have died in her first fight, her second fight and her third fight

I didn't know that

In the words of Father Jack, "Ah, feck it! Fed up with briiiiick!"

The Mad Goose Wizard demands more respect!

Ezra is just a intersectional feminists idea of what a guy should be.

It's complicated...

What a payoff to her season-long quest to desperately find him amirite?

This was a problem from the earlier episodes...The security footage was a plot point of the show. So we know it exists. Even without it, you've got a ship full of a dead crew members and an escaped prisoner. There was already a ton of evidence that Hera could have but never mentions. But now its gotten worse because there is even more evidence that she never bothers to mention. A new major point of the story, was R2DWho almost got them all killed so it could fully scan the Ring. There's no reason Hera wouldn't have a copy of that file after they found Ahsoka.

How do you prove the ring was actually going to get Thrawn? How do you prove the key is not an ancient artifact used to explore space whales, and Baylan just wants to go to another galaxy to explore? Where is the connection to Thrawn in all of that? Baylan is not Sith, you can't use the argument that the Sith is back.

@@cristiancandru8610You don’t need a connection to Thrawn. An armed group invaded republic installations, killed people and built this thing, all while being directly tied to the former empire by their own words and actions. Governments usually don’t need a single super enemy to consider this kind of clandestine operations a threat. The pure existence of an armed force doing such things would require a reaction from the republic, no matter how is pulling the strings. While this show tries to make Thrawn the only threat worth mentioning, reality is often that you follow the terrorists to whatever boss they have, not the other way around.

The problem with WOKE Feminism is that they only care about FEELINGS! To hell with the facts! Hera NEVER bothered to present proof when she had literally TONS of footage that would have supported her words but was just too DUMB to use it because the writers are stuck in Feminist Brainfreeze land! Why don't you listen to her FEEFEES? What do you mean you want Proof?!

@@cristiancandru8610 Explain the Empire Remnants that were stealing Hyperspace Drives. They had 6 or 7 for that Hyperspace ring did they not? Would that not be probable cause to investigate? Someone is stealing a number of Hyperdrives, you have data to link them to a Hyperspace Gate. Forget investigating for Thrawn, why wouldn't you just do it after you found IMPERIAL SPIES IN YOUR RANKS STEALING VALUABLE EQUIPMENT!?

Thrawn has literally no resources worth bringing back. HE is the resource. Why didn't they shuttle him up to the eye of sauron immediately and use THE SHIP THEY BUILT SPECIFICALLY TO JUMP BETWEEN GALAXIES to get him back to the galaxy where he could restart the war!?

@@haku8135 Because that might strand our... heroes... in the wrong galaxy with no way home. Why Thrawn might think this is a problem is left as an exercise for the audience.

@@boobah5643 The fucking space whales aren't dead, and Ezra can control them. That is literally how they got to this galaxy in the first place.

They made Leia the equivalent to the Secretary of Defense. Even still, very questionable. I'll even say this "New Republic" is more corrupt than the one before it.

The writers are unintentionally helping to describe how dysfunctional the New Republic is. If individual Senators can give orders to the military, it would result in bloody chaos. OTOH, that probably explains the incompetence of the New Republic navy - *ALL* of which was in orbit around the worlds of the Hosnian system during Force Awakens. Probably some deep cover First Order sleeper agent who became Senator gave the order and won the war in a single shot.

It would be like me getting pulled over for speeding and I say to the cop well the mayor told me to.

Idk how Star Wars ranks work (especially in the New Republic chain of command) but usually Admirals are for Navy (or in this case, spaceships) while Generals are for ground troops (Army, Air Force and Marines, for reference). In the US military, Admirals and Generals are the same pay grades and the Navy is the only outlier. I assume in science fiction/fantasy they want a system that integrates both but it's just a little confusing without seeking out supplemental material that explains how this rank structure and chain-of-command works. I just wanna know if the Empire or New Republic have military branches, just to clear things up a little.

@@jamesb.russell2942 The Rebellion had both admirals and generals; not at all clear what got you one title over the other; Admiral Ackbar ran a fleet, General Dodonna ran a base, General Solo ran an infantry infiltration unit, and General Calrissian ran a fighter/bomber unit. The 'Leia signed off on this' is pretty absurd; even if part of the military (or at least the bit that Hera's supposedly running) answers directly to a Senate committee, it follows that that's the committee she'd've been talking to and getting called in front of the whole time... and has notably not included Senator Organa among its members.

I always hear "Layah Orgasma." 🤷‍♂️

HE SAID THE NAME AND I CLAPPED

Well, no. Thrawn didn't have "the full might of the remaining quarter of the entire Empire ." Dude had a squadron of _Imperial_ star destroyers, some knowledge, and a snazzy uniform... and parlayed that into nearly destroying the New Republic when his plan came together.

Most of the Empire was under control of warlords at this point was it not? I believe the largest faction was in the core systems and Thrawn was just returning from his mission in the Unknown Regions.

They are terrified because deep down they know that they don't actually control anything, the galaxy is in chaos, the New Republic is just filling a void of power that can be easily overthrown of some more powerful entity galvanized some resources for its cause.

Exactly what I was thinking! To be more specific, though, Thrawn wasn't feared simply because he commanded the quarter of the galaxy comprising what was left of the Empire; he was feared because he demonstrated to the New Republic, over and over again, his terrifying tactical and strategic brilliance. What has the Thrawn in Rebels and this series ever done to warrant being considered a military genius?

Wait until the reveal, that the "coup" that the First Order had was against Thrawn. And Thrawn is killed by Kylo Ren.

well said :-D

Too much oil baths? LOL

Amazing isn't it they managed to make a ROBOT that looked thin, look FAT.

He looks like a blue Elon Musk with red eyes. ...is that how twitter saw him when he was carrying that sink?

Thrawn isn’t just fat, he’s a carrier.

youre aussie? cool me too! hail from Sydney!

i was also 10 years old when i watched star wars in 1977. im stunned at what star wars has become. disparu is the only way i can find entertainment from star wars now. bravo! sir!

@@BarbarellaAlpha Nice one mate good to see you! (Melbourne)

It doesn't take Phoenix Wright to deduce that if Hera had authorization she would have brought it up when trying to defend her actions. So, apparently, because Hera's too stupid to come up with a lie, because she's close enough for Leia to stick her neck out for her, but not close enough to contact Leia ahead of time to smooth her way. This is a very particular level of closeness.

That’s the only thing that actually makes sense: as a politician, Mon Mothma simply expects everybody to lie … it’s after all the same she does as well (watch Andor to know that this is true).

What Ahsoka did to find Sabine was the equivalent of Leia sensing Luke's location after his duel with Vader in Cloud City in Empire, and Leia had 0 force training Luke just reached out through the force. Also learning to communicate with his old master was connecting to the force netherworld.

Wonder Woman has super reflexes , you know that right?

That's a good year range, but I think movies from even 1927 are pretty good. But for everything 2013 and onward, tread cautiously. Like it becomes homework to figure out if something is worth watching. It's exhausting, but at least the past 50 years of cinema and TV is a big enough gamut to entertain me for a good long while before I'll crave anything new.

@@AHHTHEFRENCHAMPAGNE Have a look at "Lucky # Slevin" .

I do have to agree that modern entertainment has this ability to make you go back and revisit things from your past, and appreciate them in a new light. I've been revisiting so many shows and movies from my past in the past years more than I did in the years before that.

eeh mlp g4 is quite the masterpice in that regard, it the perfect 8. it has everything to be the minimal quality lvl for a good show, but at the same time is unpolish and unrefined to go pass an 8.

You should see the Star Wars Disney shills engaging their brains to Warp 10 just to come up with excuses for this show! Episode 7 was AWFUL!

Buddy that would require an addaptation... ARE YOU EXPECTING A WESTRERN STUDIO TO DO A FAITHFULL ADDAPTATION??? You must be insane!!!

Royalties and copyrights to the characters. That is the answer to it. Disney was greedy and decided they don´t want to share.

Grab them by the neck? Find a window to chuck them out of, let gravity decide this.

They didn't knew. They think they wrote bad character - opposite of them. Take Rings Of Power., most reasonable a sympathetic guy there is ... Sauron, that's a magnificent achievement of quality of writers.

@@ilfirinms And what makes it more amazing is that Sauron doesn't even have fallopian tubes! 😅

It looks like a parody show, to me. The quality I mean. Like in the early 2000's when those films would get made and released on dvd. The casting and costumes are just so "off" that it feels completely fake.

If you want good Star Wars, I'd recommend some of the games. Like Empire at War and it's various mods. Some of the action ones are also pretty good. Or just rewatch Space Balls again. The best Star Wars movie of them all.

This might actually be worse than cw shows like batwoman.

Nah

And the mainstream media giving the corpse a big juicy kiss on the lips...

Endor. She's Senator of the Ewoks. Probably, with Disney.

I asked this a few weeks ago when they first name dropped her. Some one was kind (or crazy) enough to look it up. Apparently, Star Wars Senators are regional or system-wide and not just a representatives of a single planet. So she still represents the remnant of the Aldreraan people. Still, it doesn't explain why she went back to such a lowly title, given the needs of her people and her rank in the rebellion. Or why this transitional government is so eager to re-implement what doomed the first Republic... but gross incompetence is becoming the clear answer for that one.

@@bethanyh1637 Well, it was the Rebellion to Restore the Galactic Republic. At least sometimes.

Ahsoka actualy carefully timed her slip and slide off the ship, so she literally and figuratively made sure she would be out of position and have to fight Baylan, who was also just standing there like a lugnut

Luke's doctrine seems to be very old fashioned for training a Jedi likely following the Jedi manuscripts, Ahsoka technically never became a Jedi Knight, let alone a Master as she said in rebels "I'm no Jedi", Sabine's not a Jedi Padawan she's an Apprentice.

Grogu doesn't even need training, so he doesn't lose anything...

@@thomaswedge42 What is the difference in anything but name?

Ahsoka refused to train Grogu due to his connection to Din yet trains Sabine who is a known rule breaker with no force abilities and is besotted with Ezra. Good going Soks, your choice doomed the galaxy 🙄

Yeah C3PO sounded bad.

Honestly I dont think we should feel too sorry for him as he's managed again to get a Star Wars pay cheque. I swear he must know where the bodies are buried.

@@markgrehan3726 I mean, why should he? He is retired and they occasionally call him to record some C3PO's lines, he doesn't care.

Why do you feel bad for him? He gets paid for a 30 second cameo You feel bad for a rich old actor who still gets paid for almost doing nothing , i feel bad for old people with no money or a job.

This is not Thrawn, this is a brain dead cell of Filoni

@@danyknight9107 Jake Thrawn, just like Jake Skywalker. Failoni and Ruin Johnson are creators of equal caliber.

Same. The only reason why I sailed the high seas for this show is because I loved Rebels and was invested in the outcome of the Ezra and Sabine story. My disappointment is palpable.

I made the joke that the very first thing the antagonists see when entering the new galaxy was Ezra’s corpse slowly drifting across the screen, bumping into the window and giant windshield wipers appear and wipe Ezra’s body off the window, and I think I actually wanted something like that to happen the more I made the joke. Naturally, it felt a little convenient when not only is Ezra alive and well, but on the very same planet as the antagonists, and in the same village tribe thing as the Grunts from Halo.

​@@danyknight9107 It's Vurawn because he had a different name, "Kivu'raw'nuru." I refuse to call this guy by that same name. If I were Timothy Zahn, I would be disgusted.

Bingo!

What's funny is that the WGA conceded on AI so they might be replaced anyways!

They only won the strike in their own minds. Shows are getting cancelled left and right, lots won't find work over the next year. The money is gone. People aren't lining up for the product and that trend is only growing worse for them.

Well Dave wants a sex change operation, obviously.

I had no idea, he’s just creatively predictable at this point.

The rules of writing for modern audience forbid any woman to be saved or bettered by a man..

Oh he has a vision...of Ahsoka and himself making out...he allways had that.

As a continuation for a kids show (The Clone Wars and Rebels) yes, that checks out. That's Failoni's audience and he knows. That's the level of writing he is most comfortable with.

@@GamerGarm This is the max of his capabilities....

Lmao when you make nitpicking a passion

*and failing

Or lowerd his chin a bit....

I'm not sure about artists, but I've definitely appreciated things more, later on in life. Or, not been interested at all at a younger age and then absolutely loved it at an older age. But, we are speaking too vaguely here. Star Wars is dead.

As an artist (drawing) and a writer, I can say I've written something one day and feel unsure about it, but the next day I can see it more clearly because I've had time away from it, and can better judge it. To be generous to that guy, he could be talking about that general situation of writing something and being insecure about it, assuming it's bad, only to read it the next day and see you were too hard on yourself. Not so much for drawing though. I can see the flaws immediately as the medium is visual. Writing typically takes longer reflection, especially in a lengthy narrative. You can write something that in isolation is good, but it doesn't fit into the rest of your story, so you have to scrap it. I can't say I've ever thought something was HOT garbage one day but GREAT the next. At most I've had a bad writing session, but the next day I see good pieces in the mess I can pick out, polish, and use. Over the years I've gotten faster at judging my writing, and can more easily see in the moment whether what I have is good or not. Overall, I can't give the benefit of the doubt to many writers in the TV/movie industry nowadays; from the writer of Antman to Rian Johnson to writers of various TV shows, I've seen them all express initial doubts about their scripts in commentaries, only to sweep those doubts aside with various flimsy excuses, not to mention outright dismissing others' critiques or pushback. There's this general sense the craft of writing doesn't matter as long as you accomplish your vision of the story or the characters, or as long as you elicit emotion from viewers. It doesn't matter how you get to your plot points (contrivances), or how you excite emotions in your audience (member-berries), it just matters that you get there.

Yes, that's what I thought was behind the Emperor line. Either because she's a stronk whamen or as she's Sabine in particular, their most precious girl boss who is practically perfect in every way.

​@@marychocolatefairyI wonder if Sabine could out-Rey Rey.

It was an attempt at making Sabine look smart. It obviously failed due to not making sense at all. But hey, the writer tried and should get a participation trophy anyway.

@@MrsMacLover Oh my god... the amount of damage that would be on screen. Bad Plots would be defeated by Bad Plot Armor, but they would also need to be broke through by Girl Power, but then the power of the Mary Sue comes into play... Its like the Powerpuff girl song "Mary Sue, Bad Plot, and Plot Armor. These were the ingredients to make the Force Female".

XD I want one but with ""SHOOT THEM"

Lol, I see no need to watch this show. It’s obvious that these reviews are the only good thing about Ahsoka and they are more than enough on their own.

Not even watching the show 😂😂😂

This character is Vurawn, not Thrawn from the old EU days who died by unexpected betrayal.

This is obviously done so that Sabine can keep the lightsaber and become a full Jedi, thus completing the cucking of all male Jedi in Star Wars

"a game of MadLibs with poorly connected scenes written by separate writers more than an actual story" in other words, they have been using Ai to write stories for the last 5 -10 years or so.

Naah it's all about FEELINGS, Girlbosses, and Down with the Patriarchy now! Everything must be shoehorned in to SERVE the Force is Female Agenda!

Can we take that as a sign that it didn't work out well this time? Please?

The canon version of Thrawn is rather of weak. Then again, it is passable. Wait, I meant to say Vurawn.

He sold out to Disney as soon as the check arrived

​@@spiderknight9893Eh, I'm not going to read any of the Disney-era books because of how MCU-like the mainline SW content has become (and how badly the plots have turned out), but I feel like I'd still rather have Zahn contributing to the new "canon" than not... maybe his work can convince some of the more dedicated Disney fans that good stories actually matter...

@@lumeronswift it’s my understanding that he was completely against Disney abandoning the eu and his previous work and then the money came in and he did a 180……. But a guy has to eat so I can’t really blame him.

These new adaptations of Thrawn wouldn't exist without Timothy's explicit approval. He did this to you. You have stockholme syndrome. @spiderknight He's not poor. You think this millionaire is starving? He's zombifying the corpse of star wars to trick $ out of you and here you are defending it. This is why Star Wars fans don't deserve nice things.

Throw someone into a wall (or into the air) hard enough and they stay down. Naturally, no one ever does this even though we've seen greater feats of strength with the Force.

This, Ashoka as I figured was going to be absolute trash, been watching these reviews instead of the actual show and it's probably the more entertaining experience.

Especially since I've seen others saying that the reason we haven't seen much of Throwns personal and the general state of their equipment is because they have no more resources and have been forced to cannibalise things to keep going hence the broke and dirty armour.

@AHHTHEFRENCHAMPAGNE even star trek DS9 did this better, and it was still a bit out there.

Next Generation did it before that with the ancient radiation minefield. And then there is Last Starfighter way before that.

Kind of like how every modern, western writer breaks the Geneva convention every time they release their trash propaganda reels disguised as movies and TV shows. Torturing civilians is a war crime... Why aren't Hollywood being arrested?

EXACTLY

*unless you are a General............................

Tbf Ahsoka was anakins apprentice in the clone wars show, so Anakin was her master, even if he didn’t have the rank of Jedi master

I thought Obi-wan didn't attain the rank until after he started training Anakin

Lol. Any excuse to rub it in is a good excuse.

Two different meanings of master, Jedi Knight's have Padawan's and thusly are their master, but not every Jedi Knight attains the rank of a Jedi Master, that is only reserved for those who sit on the Jedi Council. Which is why Anakin was so annoyed as he was allowed to sit on the Council but not given the rank of a Jedi Master, even though at that time he wasn't even the master of a Padawan as Ahsoka didn't exist (when the film was made) and had left left the order at that point in the timeline.

He was HER master… masters and Padawans.

The amazing thing is how little is happening.

WHAT are you talking about? You are clearly not paying attention. The covered chests are Body Type A/1 now. the dangly bits uncovered chest are Body Type B/2. Can't have the dangly bits upstage the Covered Chests, mate, no sir. Even though the gaming demographics are overwhelmingly comprised of dangly possessing people.

@@Raximus3000what

Nah

@@teamtundra2619 It has so many things that are wrong and yet so little things happening.

Droids having a sense of free will is something Disney can't possibly handle in the long term. That's why every movie, show, and or book handles them slightly different every time.
