That’s all - this is definitely not a “you’re all wrong, I’m right, nyah!” post. I do respect your position. TLJ is not great or even that good (I mean the effects are good, it does look like a Star Wars movie) but the WBW helps me a little with one of my issues. If it’s a true connection, anyway… Snoke said it was him that allowed Rey and Ben to communicate, which is another mistake that needs correcting. |

I think rogue one, rebels, empire, and the last four episodes of clone wars are peak Star Wars visual media. |

The fact they played Vaders theme at the end of the episode makes me think it’s the Brother in disguise possibly.

“Budster, there’s a half-naked woman in your bedroom feeding pizza to some fish and she’s all yours.”

Anakin killed the brother. More likely that he now has the job as the father (the balance of the force) that the father tried to get Anakin to take. That is the prophecy after all. Once he died, he's got nothing better to do...

Click To View Spoiler And seeing Anakin flash from anger back to kind but authoritative master was well done. That was cinematic and great. And those flashes to the Clone Wars with young Ahsoka were beautiful too. Outstanding. |

Click To View Spoiler man, that would have been amazing to see Ahsoka cross lightsabers with Maul when she was re-living the Siege of Mandalore.
Very nice Captain Rex cameo. |

Color me impressed. This was real SW and tied exactly into Clone Wars/Rebels without missing a beat. Even the little girl who played Snips did a great job with the part.

I was really impressed by the costuming too - Anakin felt like he was plucked right out of a Clone Wars episode, down to the stylistic differences in armor. Clone armor was on point too. And Hayden did a great job of pulling both his earlier portrayal of Anakin as well as Matt Lanter's portrayal together. CGI de-aging was on point. In fast, the whole episode had great CGI - beauty shots of the Ghost, the 2 ships flying through the clouds. Like I said earlier - top tier Star Wars,

There was a lot that was done better this episode, but there were still a couple head-scratchers. The fighting looked better this episode - mostly. You can tell the director really pushed the athleticism of the role hard onto both actors, but it all still looked a bit...winded. As for the de-aging, I thought it looked off at first, but during action sequences and later in the episode it looked pretty great.
Oh, and Click To View Spoiler "GET INTO THE CHOPPAS!!!" I wouldn't have guessed that Ahsoka's socks were mass-manufactured, crew socks with a comfort cuff. |
|
|
Wow, a bit speechless. Jealous of the folks that got to watch that in a theater.
|
|
|
That was awesome. The series had a bit of a rough start, but it’s picking up now. It’s the first time I’ve felt a sense of wonder at SW in a very long time.
|
|
|
|
Finally. That was good. Really good. Filoni directed this one, I ain’t surprised. That dude is the chosen one of the entire SW franchise.
|
|
|
Glad they got more use out of the costumes from andor.
Also, may not be the wbw, as there were no doors. But definately an auralnauts dance party. Biggest gripe is the purgills if you didn't watch rebels. Non watchers are probably asking "huh? wtf is going on?". |

Good episode. I wish it had pushed the story a little further. On the other hand it looks like the last three episodes should be very focused.

I want more of the flashback stuff, loved it. It really showed what people in this thread have been trying to sell me of how Ashoka grew up in war and has the trauma of it.
The lightsaber fighting was MUCH better. The athleticism of young Ashoka and the speed and pure power of her opponent… awesome Biggest gripe, the white wrap over the top of the gray tunic. I wanted to see all white and a Easter egg of Ori flying around somewhere would have put me over the top |

Overall Great Episode. But come on....with the plot devices at the end..so stupid.
|
|
|
here was my suggestion of how they should have dealt with the separation.
They should have focused the next 2 episodes on Baylen and Shin and the search for Thrawn. Throw in a few scenes of Ahsoka and crew trying to come up with ideas about how to get to there. Then the last episode of the season is where Thrawn returns in a season climax attacking the New Republic. That way you don't have to introduce/explain the whole hyperspace whales. Don't care if they are in the cartoons. Just leave that plot device out of the equation. |
