Quote HistoryQuoted: I've watched it 3 times now. I'll go out on a limb and say this episode is one of the best things that's ever been done in the SW universe. Filoni and Favreau are really on top of their craft. The episode was both visually stunning and well written. It almost erases all my nightmares of Mary Sue Palpatine and the forced "girls rule" shit that KK was trying to peddle. Some Disney exec just had the best Thanksgiving ever...5 seasons of Ahsoka with merch tie in...make it happen. Question for the bigger nerds than me, do we not know the race of Yoda and BY?

Especially in the beginning, the way Ashoka handled the Magistrate's thugs was straight up Predator or Alien xenomorph-level shit.
After Mando shot Michael Biehn, they should have had him say, "Game over." (Yes, I know that was Hudson's line. Don't care.) |

Palpatine was also using him. Thrawn's main focus is to protecting the Chiss Ascendancy. His Tie Defender project was devoted to that, and he believed the Tie Defender was better for projection of strength over the Death Star. It was going well till Bridger and his damn space whales. |

For an old dude pulled out of retirement, who had never acted, and given multiple lines to deliver, he did pretty damned well. That just looks like a lot of fun to be on those sets. That kind of stuff is hard work, but it can be loads of fun. I grew up on film sets and occasionally get little twinges of remorse for not staying in the film field. My dad turned down h-wood jobs to raise his kids away from California, but he still got an Emmy nomination. A college theater department recruited me for their acting program, and I had a good start on a voice career including work for a few national clients. Industry connections were just a phone call away if I’d chosen to keep going. Nowadays, the only acting I do is convincing patients to trust me enough to knock them out.  That’s not too uncommon; one of my former employees has a pretty good IMDb page including a season as a principal cast member for a 1-season 1980s sitcom. |

Watching the episode and hearing Ashoka talk about Anakin’s fall it occurred to me that she probably doesn’t know about him turning back to save his son. I initially didn’t want to see Luke at all in the show, but I think Ashoka and him meeting would be something special.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Unknown species. And Ahsoka did not always have the white blades... Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: I thought I was watching a Akira Kurosawa or Lone Wolf and Cub episode. You could really see the influence in this episode. Very strong Chinese influence to the sets, besides the multiple Asian actors. It was so freaking cool. https://media2.giphy.com/media/UvwI1X7XkbXq0/200.gif Yes? The homages to the look and feel of Samurai movies was blatant. This last episode was major fan service for anyone who wanted to ever see a show where the Man With No Name traveled to the world of Yojimbo and they teamed up on adventures. Outside of the ethnic heritage of the actor (who wasn't really an actor, that was a cameo for a retired Disney executive) playing the legitimate governor, usurped by the magistrate, nothing points to China. The influence is 100% Japan. I've watched it 3 times now. I'll go out on a limb and say this episode is one of the best things that's ever been done in the SW universe. Filoni and Favreau are really on top of their craft. The episode was both visually stunning and well written. It almost erases all my nightmares of Mary Sue Palpatine and the forced "girls rule" shit that KK was trying to peddle. Some Disney exec just had the best Thanksgiving ever...5 seasons of Ahsoka with merch tie in...make it happen. Question for the bigger nerds than me, do we not know the race of Yoda and BY? It seems odd that in a galaxy with as many varied races, but one where Yoda is so important, that people wouldn't know that race. https://heroichollywood.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Rosario-Dawson-Ahsoka-Tano-The-Mandalorian.jpg Unknown species. And Ahsoka did not always have the white blades... She had those sabers and blades the last time the viewers saw her. I won't spoil any other details though, well... I wanted the white robe. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah they totally screwed up Rey. I'm probably one of the few that didn't mind The Force Awakens although it was pretty much A New Hope rebooted They made it seem like Finn was sensitive and then boom nothing in the following episodes...strange thing is the Star Wars Lego episode they just released has Rey trainning Finn so it sounds like Finn was originally gonna use the force but then gurl power happen in the next two episodes and Finn was just a by product, maybe the lego episode was trying to right that wrong Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Rey's character and story arc are trash. Snips' character and story arc are art. Yeah they totally screwed up Rey.

But that might, might explain his deprogramming. Of course, he never showed any indication of having been trained as a stormtrooper, either. Just a shit character all around, and squandered potential. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Have we ever seen a Jedi do a "slow reveal" of their lightsaber like Ahsoka did in this episode? It seems like it's always instant on and off. I think Maul is the closest thing. Ahsokas was better imo. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Plus some of those themes are more mature than a 10 year old would be able to process. You'd be surprised what a 10Y/O can process. TCW was great though. When I watched it with my kids at first I wasn't paying much attention, but when they started taking the ethical implications of clone troopers seriously I started taking it seriously too. First season was a little tough to get through but it had it's moments. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So did Thrawn know that Palpatine was also behind the First Order? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Mitth'raw'nuruodo was playing the Empire as he saw them as the most power military force to stop a growing threat emerging in the Unknown Regions. Palpatine was also using him. So did Thrawn know that Palpatine was also behind the First Order? Those movies don't exist. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Watching the episode and hearing Ashoka talk about Anakin’s fall it occurred to me that she probably doesn’t know about him turning back to save his son. I initially didn’t want to see Luke at all in the show, but I think Ashoka and him meeting would be something special. This is exactly right. I'm not overly sensitive. But the emotional potential of Ashoka meeting Anakin's son and learning of Anakin's ultimate |
