Anakin Will Never Let Ahsoka Fail 

I don't think that's the case it's more of it's not their era of Star wars A lot of the people who don't like her didn't grow up with the prequels era

I grew up watching the clone wars Ahsoka is one of the most well written characters, it also made me not really like the old movies showing how whiny and weak minded anikin was being, vs his selfless hero in the clone wars

​@@TwoDollarGarargeidk, I was born in 1997 and was the perfect age to love the Clone Wars when it came out...but I didn't. I tried watching it then & never got into it, and going back to rewatch it now it still doesn't click for me. I've never cared for Ahsoka all that much, not because she was annoying early on, but because I almost never saw any internal conflict in her (the trait I look for most in a character). The times I've liked her most was during Rebels & the Siege of Mandalore, but I still wouldn't say I've been won over. And that's okay. I'm happy for everyone who loves Ahsoka, and I don't begrudge anyone for being excited to see her in live-action. Just my two cents tl;dr, I was part of the generation that grew up with Ahsoka & I still didn't like her

Yes! And why? To quote Allan, "...they are now Star Wars Man Babies!" I nearly tinkled my manties when he said that, and oh do they so exist! So, genius!

That's a bit heavy handed and hasty. I think alot of it may have to do with many fans not being filled in on her transitional periods during Rebels and the relatively flat dislodge and acting in the first few episodes of Ashoka. Speaking for myself, I knew Ashoka exclusively from the clone wars and hadn't seen any of her progression in Rebels or the mandalorian, so when I was met with a seemingly jaded and largely emotionless rendition of her character I was caught off guard but had just assumed that her past trials had shaped her to be this way now, which is fine. This however does not excuse the lack luster acting, dialog, and directing of the first fee episodes of the season. Ashoka is quiet and jaded but not I a particularly dramatic or sympathetic kind of way and what we are shown in the show does little to justify her demeanor. Take for example her cold treatment of Sabine, granted I didn't watch rebels and don't know how their relationship was there, but Sabine's character is insecure and eager to please and to be wanted while she knows her short comings. So when Ashoka, the jedi that was extended so much patience and empathy from Anakin reluctantly addresses and even shames Sabine in some instances (when she successfully hacks the HK droids head) the audience is left feeling that Ashoka is being unjustly cold and overly critical of Sabine, not exactly what we'd expect from Ashoka Tano. I just think that the writers could have done a better job of showing why Ashoka has lost patience with Sabine (this sort of happened when we see Sabine take the star map off the ship to her house despite Ashokas disapproval and Sabine ends up getting ambushed, to no fault of her own, and loses it to Shin). I don't particularly like the way Sabine's character is handled either, she comes off pretty immature and reckless but she is also much younger and this aspect if her character is sufficiently demonstrated throughout the first episode so it's easy for the audience to accept that as her character. To wrap this up I think the issue is that Ashoka seemingly adopted a new character and the show does little to show why; we don't ever get a quiete moment with her lamenting her past or stressing about her future nor do we get any cinematography to convey this idea. Andor has truly spoiled me and I believe it handled this same dilemma much more tactfully with Casian as we get to see where he's been, what he's done, where he came from, and what he wants out of his life before he gets falls into an entanglement with the corporate police, then the rebellion, and then the empire. The show explains in every way (exposition, cinematography, and actions/consequences) Why Andor is a morose and picaresque character and how he becomes radicalized. I firmly believe the responsibility of fleshing out the character and their motivations lies with the showrunners. Again, I picked up the show and simply filled in the blanks but I'd be a hell of alot more invested right now if I was shown why Ashoka is the way she is now.

Absolutely not me watching the new episode exactly at 9:00

And traumatized

I watch a lot of RU-vid and this is one of if not the most criminally under subbed channel

Facts.

And it's comforting to see others being inspired by him and his crew.

LOL based 😂

I agree with you

It was incredible. Anakin and Ahsoka are the best part of Star Wars imo Also the series has really taken off now

Seeing a live action captain Rex, even if only for a moment was amazing

@@cptthaldier4726it looked tan made 😭

If anything they match up rather perfectly. Rebel's Ahsoka is basically the Ahsoka we get in Mando S2 and the Ahsoka show. She's just... even older (by 10+ years), more experienced and more powerful.

AND they were brought back from off world to conduct this investigation

bruh dont even think about slapping the elderly, touch some grass.

@@Smoothalcoholic Okay

​@@Smoothalcoholicit's literally yoda

It is funny, because the stoic adult Ahsoka is far closer to the Jedi of old way of talking and walking. If her teenage self (post leaving the order) could see herself now, I bet she would be disappointed she turned out like this considering how she was treated.

@@ag7898are you sure? Did you watch Rebels? She was stoic in most moments on there too as a young adult, it’s called character development.

@@JustCallMeJameshonestly I think people are just having a hard time getting used to Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka, compared to Ashley Ecksteins voice. It’s still a bit jarring for me personally at times as well

You know I wouldn’t mind it so much if the way you described her wasn’t the exact same way you could describe almost every single character on this show.

@@Discount_JesusAt this point Rosario IS Ahsoka, at least that’s how I feel. I mean I don’t even see the actress, a character isn’t being played, I’m seeing and hearing Ahsoka Tano, I hope she gets some moments that really cement how amazing she is so far.

I'm not gonna lie, this has struck a chord with me, especially the 2nd part 😔

@@darth.dominus.the.savage It took me a long time to figure that out, and a lot of pain. Once I did, the genius of george's storytelling hit me hard once again, and the prequels shone in a new light. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, is valid even more now. I can see the fear behind so much hate that is out now.

@@jamesweible5357 the line from anakin in ep.2 where he admits "I'm not the jedi I should be, i want more and i know i shouldnt" is what i struggle with in recent years, I'm self conscious and know my nature well enough to know I'm not a bad man dont wish harm on ppl i dont do bad things no drink, smoking or drugs etc but I am drawn further to my own fears and anger and resentments and the pain I've held on to for a long time leaves me in a sometimes state of self conflict, it took me a long time also to understand things and I see parallels with the battle of good and bad in star wars to my own internal current battles that are draining me of my good, I know where the path of fear leads to, yet I cant deny the pull it has had on myself recently either, although I like to relate myself with anakin sometimes I have kept more in line with mace windu character and harnessed darker emotions for better purposes, george Lucas doesnt get the full respect he deserves coz I agree with you, he has shone a light on important things with his story telling that goes unnoticed by so many but unlike star wars I cant foresee what the future holds in store and that gives me fear for the future

What's a panda wan? Is that some kind of wandering panda or Po's apprentice?

I think Obi wan actually saw him as a person. I mean, he knew about Anakin and Padme’s relationship but just kept quiet bc he knew it made Anakin happy. He did try to help him with his trauma with slavery and be there for him. I just think Obi wan was too blinded and loyal to the Jedi to truly help Anakin on the human level he needed.

Exactly. Anakin , padme , rex , plo koon , obi wan … all of them are family . Anakin was corrupted then died , Padme died from the hands of Anakin , plo koon died in this damned day , Obi wan disappeared . Only rex remained for a time and his accelerated aging will probably get to him soon … That’s a lot of loss and tragedy .

"You can't save your master. And I can't save mine."

not a bad idea...

I think that’s the point, it’s part of the whole “the force already knows what’s gonna happen” prophecy thing

@Finn_7117 "George already wrote this shit 15 years ago"

Palpatine would also be dead

@@jdurk I mean, not necessarily. Perhaps, Anikin barely escapes him

​@@TipsySpindaI love this idea ! Also it's Anakin with an a in the middle 😅

@@Dakarai_Knight oops😅

There was actually a series of what if comics that came out after the original trilogy ended exploring mostly "what if luke didn't do X". E.g what if luke didn't blow up the deathstar. What if luke died in the woompa cave on hoth

Haha thanks live long and prosper 😁

what do you say now after ep 5? 😏

@@asull06 Great character work! I'm really excited to see where they take Ahsoka's development.

So cortosis is still making its way slowly back to canon, if i remember correctly during the cw Thrawn and Anakin run into a seppie factory making battledroids with cortsis and it was viewed as a serious problem. This was in one of the new canon thrawn trilogies. DR Aphra also used one, I believe they nerfed the weapon quite a bit making it very easy to break which might be one of the reasons its n0t as common

@GenerationTech Thanks for replying.. as far as I know the armour of the battledroids like the cortosis armour used by the old republic army only employs trace amounts and thus is resistant to lightsabres but doesn't damage them (must assume it is also somewhat more resistant to blasters as well).. however a pure cortosis blade is not only much more resistant (but may fail after several hits in the same location by a lightsabre) but will also null out any lightsabre not using a very specific crystal type... therefore unless your opponent has one of these crystals (very difficult to get but I would make it a high priority) unless he has one of these crystals the mere contact of your black metal blade will knock out his lightsabre for long enough to just slice him up wither with your lightsabre or sword or perhaps both... really any dual weapon user would be able to employ this very naturally into their style... the opponent would have to resort to force pushes or suchlike... really at that point it becomes more martial as in wearing actual armour but then again this would make actual knights into what they are supposed to be..

how can she be alien on her own planet...the human species are alien to other species outside their own knowledge.....such a stupid comment

Her species can live for an extended period in their prime (especially if they're strong in the Force), so biologically she would be in her 20s. Chronologically... she's 5 years younger than Anakin and Grogu = about 48 or so?
