Having him make a cute noise every time his new name is mentioned is a marketing ploy to quell naysayers that I can't help but respect I like the name! Finally they can stop officially referring to him as "The Child". blondheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knight of Ren 767 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 As a fan of The Clone Wars and Rebels, this episode felt like heaven for me. I love Ahsoka and I think she looks great in live-action, and the name-drop of Thrawn made me jump with excitement, beacuse that can only mean a continuation of where Rebels ended, be it either in this show or either a new one. And the episode itself felt like some samurai film, especially the face-off between Ahsoka and the evil ruler (it kinda reminded me of Kill Bill Vol. 1) Great episode and now Filoni has my full support to do whatever he wants with the saga, because I trust him PS: Grogu is a nice name, but I think it's going to be hard to erase the name of Baby Yoda blondheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's so funny that people are losing their shit over a Kevin Keiner theme as well It's a great theme and I love it and I'm glad it's being brought to a wider audience. blondheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Skywalker 1,790 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Thrawn live actor should be his voice actor, really. I liked the episode, but i tought the ashoka introduction was nos as powerful as it could have been. But bo katan spoiled all of it for us... I fear maybe poor ezra was subject one in the experiments of gideon-thrawn.... Seriously...is this post rotj story have to be soooo diferent than the expanded universe?

Thor 7,384 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Nice episode, as always, but the Göransson music is so annoying, I want to tear my hair out. So many moments just screaming for a small nod to the JW themes, but instead we get vague harmonic similarities, a bunch of Bill Conti light and endless plonkety-plonk gimmicks. God, I hate that fucking hack Göransson and everything he stands for. There, I got that off my chest. Rosaria Dawson was good as Ahsoka, but I can't help but to think 'representation' when she's now converted to a black actor. Michael friggin' Biehn! A shame he was written into such a small and insignificant role. The whole SEVEN SAMURAI/MAG 7 plot was intriguing, although they've done it before in the show. I hope all these end-of-episode set-ups will find some sort of resolution (Boba Fett, Thrawn....). But I trust in Dave Filoni's great talent. Correct me if I'm wrong here, you STAR WARS geeks, but the planet he's heading for next is the one in CLONE WARS with that mountain that reveals a Jedi temple, right?

They listened to the twitter frenzy and it just happened to work out this time because Rosario is a great actress who was able to channel Ahsoka's matter-of-factness without being cloying or saccharine.

True. No big deal, I suppose. The important thing is that she's the first actress to portray her in live action, so she'll create the benchmark for the future. I was really hoping that the original voice actor would portray her, though, for continuity's sake. blondheim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthDementous 1,043 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Tython I think originated in the Tales of the Jedi comics, but we see it fully fleshed out in the game Star Wars the Old Republic as a starting area for Jedi. Supposedly it’s one of the first places the Jedi ever settled, so to see it brought back up in the NU is neat. Curious to see what they’ll do with it Another neat EU nod was the model of the guard droids, HK-87 units, what is a clear reference to HK-47 and his line of assassin droids in Knights of the Old Republic Faleel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,621 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 The first not-very-good episode of the show. The much hyped Ahsoka finally arrives, defined by a monotone and personality-free performance with random emotionless stares into the abyss. The plot was basically just an MMO fetch quest. Very light on character development and stakes. That recorders cue at the end was great though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,268 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Character development has been this show's biggest flaw, I think. Characters pretty much just speak to provide exposition.

Edmilson 7,259 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I just started this show and already watched 6 episodes. It's pretty good, I can see where all the hype is coming from.

To be fair, that was likely because of what moments it was scoring Yoda’s theme pops up only briefly because it’s nothing more than a name drop, whereas Ahsoka is there in the flesh for the whole episode tee_oh and crumbs 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
