AHSOKA REVIEW! The First Episode of Disney+ New Ahsoka Series is OUT! Here's My FULL BREAKDOWN!

[@mrmxyzptlk521]

Why has Disney decided that stabbing someone through the chest (not just a bit into, but straight through) is survivable? Do they know how bodies work? How much stuff that is vital to living that is located there?

[@Shadowpack95]

Still a fatal blow, if i took my long sword, heated it up to 10,000 degrees and rammed it in your gut, you would have a painful death ahead of you@@LetsGetitBoah

[@ViewfromtheVoid]

@@LetsGetitBoah Chest or not, she got fully thrusted by a lightsaber which would've left a big gaping hole, but by the power of girlboss she shrugs it off like it's nothing. Not to forget the show made it very clear Sabine has zero force capabilities to survive such a wound.

Did they forget that Sabine has Mandalorian gadgets to equalize with the opponents Force powers??? Jango Fett gave Obi-Wan a run for his money back in Ep2... Anna, yor own deminur is closer to Sabine's character than the actress portrayal. I'm glad not to have Disney+, honestly.

6:40 Sabine was already a genius engineer/artist/fighter/tactician/linguist/demolition expert, but i guess that was not enough for Disney.

This is why newer writers are worried about AI. It is not that AI is great (AI writing is often generic), it is so much of modern writing is even worse.

Sabine Wren got character assassinated. Its very jarring if you were a fan of her in Rebels 😡she was never this immature for one thing and had respect for those around her. she wouldn't skip out on a ceremony that honored Ezra but disney needs an angsty girlboss. She would not of gone against Ashoka's wishes to keep the map on the ship. All the lessons she learned during rebels is gone, all the stuff with her family and forgiving herself and her family for the choices made is just one example!

[@Trencher1375]

That is what they like. Feloni wants to have childish as young as possible women interact with older men on an common social footing. He likes that they are immature. Public pressure have forced him to change other characters that were childish before but he will always return to his old ways. This is a chick fight show. They put Ezra in an inquisitor suit so he wont speak or interact with the women to much so that Feloni can focus on women fighting women. The acylote is going to be the same thing. I hope you like this because this is what star wars is going to be forever. Women fighting women, young women acting and pouting as kids. Old dudes hanging with them and off course women getting injured or even killed. That is all Star Wars is now.

@Antonio-ys5zd GOT did this with the red wedding, and it made the internet break. That kind of move would have been legendary and got everyone talking. This wouldn't be just another recycled show. It would have created a lot of buzz and made everyone sympathetic towards Sabine. There's nothing like a good matyr / christ figure.

[@Antonio-ys5zd]

@@Butters66 yes I understand where you are coming from but Ahsoka's story so far is actually focused on Sabine and you can heavily tell just within the first three episodes. Calling the show Ahsoka was most likely just to generate a larger audience that know Ahsoka but not necessarily Sabine

Yes, The Rat certainly has a thing for maps these days. 😮 Thanks again for the entertainment, little Anna. ❤️

[@freddiestinson1117]

Well predictable is a very good word especially for episode 1 because it's was no surprise that Sabine ran off with the map after even being warned how dangerous that would be. No surprise again that she got jumped and the map got taken from her. Ahsoka doesn't get a pass either because she already again warned Sabine how dangerous it would be to take the map but did nothing to go after her to like protect her and the map just in case.

I think the problem is having everything have a crawl since it diminishes sorta the feel of the trilogies. Don't get me wrong both attempts at an alternative didn't work in Rogue One and Solo but I think something else used that still feels star wars coulda been made for the stand alone stories and tv shows.

[@blue-vr8dd]

I don't mind the alternates in rogue one and solo. it shows that they're smaller additions. they're not part of the mainline saga because they're not about the Skywalker family. I think that the use of it in TV shows shouldn't be a thing, just for personal reasons. but this one didn't really tell us anything. it was pretty useless. we know it all already, and what little we didn't know, we see moments afterward. it's pointless.

Now we have maul, reva, sabine, am I missing anyone else? Who were stabbed or cut and lived. Maul, I'm in full support of, only because that happened in the EU anyway and it makes sense that maul's anger would push him forward. The other two, what makes them so special and interesting that they can just live from it but a jedi master couldn't? Plot armor? Character story armor? Bad writing? It's just hard to watch.

Unless.......... Don't include: LGBT, intelligence insulting plot holes, too much diversity, or any other brainwashing or woke agendas.

I love how Ahsoka outruns a nuclear explosion that destroys a planet's surface. I was also amused that a lightsabre thrust through one's core typically kills male characters, but for female characters, such a wound requires only an inpatient trip to the ER. So, for women, apparently, lightsabres are non-lethal weapons. Men, apparently, are more fragile. And why do we have a map showing the way to the hidden supervillain's location? For a Disney writers' room, I guess that makes perfect sense. Well, it doesn't.

AI Created this about the arrival of the Tho Yor, keep in mind I haven't read the comics so I don't know if this is cannon or not. The Tho Yor Arrival Long ago, in a galaxy far away, there was a great and powerful civilization known as the Celestials. The Celestials were believed to be the creators of many wonders of the galaxy, including the Tho Yor, massive pyramidal ships that could travel through the vastness of space without the need for a hyperdrive. One day, the Tho Yor began to arrive on several planets. No one knew why they appeared or what their purpose was. People from all over the planets came to investigate, but none knew the true motives of the Tho Yor. But as time went by, it became clear that the Tho Yor had come to gather individuals who were strong with the Force, a mysterious energy field that flowed through all living beings. The Tho Yor sought to bring these Force-sensitive beings to a place called "the Forge," where they would be trained and prepared for a great conflict that was yet to come. It was a time of uncertainty and fear, but also of hope and wonder. Many answered the call of the Tho Yor and joined the journey to the Forge. They came from different backgrounds, different planets, and different species. But they all shared one thing in common: the potential to become wielders of the Force. As the Tho Yor left each planet, carrying its passengers towards the Forge, the people who remained behind wondered what had just happened. Some feared that the Tho Yor's arrival was a sign of doom, a prelude to destruction. Others saw it as a sign of opportunity, a chance to explore new frontiers and unravel the mysteries of the universe. But for those who journeyed on the Tho Yor, there was no doubt about the significance of their experience. They were on a path to greatness, to a destiny that was both individual and collective. They had been chosen by the Tho Yor, and they would not disappoint. And so they traveled, through the vastness of space, towards the Forge and a future that was still shrouded in mystery. But one thing was certain: the Tho Yor had arrived, and nothing would ever be the same again.

LOL I understand your point about dialog. There was no banter, like old friends seeing each other again. The lack of excitement of seeing each other. I can't fault the look of the show. It always looks good. As for the paper, She is an artist. I would think no matter how far in the future we are, an artist would have paper or canvas. I can forgive that. As for Sabine becoming a jedi, no. I think she was just training to use a lightsaber. Now for the bigger issue I saw. The opening scene. The Ship Captain. It was almost Star Trek. Him sitting in the center of the bridge, talking to crew at their stations. Sensors, Comms. It almost like... No, I won't go no further till I see more. :o)

[@christiansorensen7567]

You can spot CGI Zeb in the last season of the Mandalorian. Dave Filloni is also in the pilots bar, wearing his cowboy hat. Filloni-verse as least tries to have continuity, and maintain lore, which is more than I can say for anything KK oversees.

This has to stop Starwars needs to make it definitive that if you get stabbed with a lightsaber you either live (I will believe if you are rushed to a hospital and given cybernetics you will live) or die cause this and Reeva (which Reeva is worst since she was a child) is getting ridiculous. Also if that captain knew those 2 weren't Jedi from that code why let them on board your ship in the first place it's like they're too stupid to live?

[@syc6598]

He probably did not expect dark jedis, but random pirates

[@BlackDragoonV7]

@syc6598 I do think your right but they could of justified it better by having them using the force to get them to open the door. But even so are the people in this new republic huffing paint cause it makes the captain look completely irresponsible for either to be the excuse?

Disclaimer: I talk about both episodes I don't know why KZbinrs are only covering 1 when both were released at the same time.. Only characters I liked so far were Baylan Skoll & his apprentice Shin Hati (she seems to be the only one that has a sense of urgency to what's going on). The 2 droids Huyang & Chopper were also pretty good. Ahsoka herself is coming off as stiff & Sabine is just not pleasant at all. The only thing she had going for her was her long purple and orange hair and she cut it off (the real tragedy here). Whoever is playing Lady Morgan Elsbeth the bad witch or whatever, she's coming off as cheesy and has no real evil intimidating presence whatsoever. I don't watch the animated side of Star Wars since they seem to put me in a coma after 2 episodes. The show is watchable compared to some episodes of Book of Boba Fett & the Disney sequels. I'll give it that for now. Disney Lightsaber fights need SOS levels of help tho.

[@seefoghall]

It's probably due to time constraints, the amount of time it takes to edit, script etc.

Thank the Force we have all these female characters to save all the hapless men.

[@jeffreyhill4705]

Demon slayer, how to introduce, establish and fill out a hero, and then have that hero have a magnificent death saving both strangers and friends. Also demon slayer, established a both extremely feminine and deadly hero.

Is it any wonder anime and manga is currently outselling DC and manga? If you also want character development, you might want to see Black Clover.

Strange thing to me was that I actually somehow found the story not bad. The thing that brought it down for me was the titular character - Ahsoka. She appeared to be stone-cold and too smug. At the end of rebels, she felt wise and strong, but also had that...kindness and warmth of heart about her. The latter ones were completely missing from the first two episodes. I also did not get why she felt it was necessary to train Sabine. Yes, Sabine learnt how to wield a lightsaber - but that does not make a Jedi IMO. In fact, lightsabers can be just another piece in your Mandalorian weapons rack. The best character in this show so far is the older, non-Jedi guy (sadly, the actor passed away, so - RIP). Anything else felt a bit wooden. Cool action though. But the first two episodes did not feel quite right. Hopefully, Ahsoka will manage to get back on track. This one felt more like a brick.

[@zephyrerazortail5478]

Yeah, Mandos literally had the Blacksaber. Was basically a legendary weapon, but a weapon nonetheless. Not everyone needs to be Force sensitive and swinging around lightsabers.

[@1duncantalks659]

right Lightsabers now give you a boo-boo so when you are stabbed it is ouch that hurt Please don't do that again. In the map room scene, you could hear the things locking in place and it was painfully slow. in the end, ahsoka plays second fiddle in her own show

[@darthdank1993]

Hey Anna do you think the orange saber force users could be the “BENDU”? “The one in the middle”……I don’t think I’ve seen anyone mention it .

[@leonnunhofer3453]

It's sad how fights in Star Wars are nowadays. The spinning is stupid. You shouldn't show the enemy your back. Imo it's annoying. It doesn't even look good. Imo a good fight is Achilles vs Hector in the Troy movie from 2004. That was without spinning and looked good. In Star Wars, most of Obi Wan vs Anakin was good. Qui Gon vs Maul was filmed in a good way. You could see the blades, you could see what happens. Now they spin, and they always film the faces. Imo it's just bad 😕

[@joehenry9546]

I liked it, but it would be nice to see more male characters that aren’t foolish, or bad. Also, it actually is possible to get stabbed in the right lower abdomen where Sabine got stabbed and survive. So at least that wasn’t terrible, but it is redundant after Obi Wan.

[@AReallyUnrealOne]

The Ashoka series is more destructive to Star Wars lore and canon than what appears at first glance. It establishes that George Lucas' galaxy is part of a multiverse and you can travel between them. Since this series takes place between episodes 6 and 7, Disney can now say that the Sequel trilogy took place in a different Star Wars galaxy and that's why legacy characters acted different and lore was seemingly broken. It can also allow them to re-tell the tragedy of Anakin Skywalker (Episodes 1-6) as it unfolded in this new Star Wars galaxy, effectively retconning the George Lucas universe and his extended universe. They can then win any argument by simply saying that was the old universe, this is the new one. This attitude is reflected in lines like "The past is the past. Move forward", and "Let the past die, kill it if you have to". Being able to travel to new galaxies opens the door for cross-over series as well. I keep hearing rumors of Star Wars vs. Star Trek which could now be a possibility. I'm not sure if Disney is smart enough to think of this, but one of the mandates for Star Wars was go bigger. What's bigger than a galaxy? A multiverse full of galaxies that can be explored. I hope I'm wrong. Please tell me I've overlooked something. But I've got a bad feeling about this.

[@patrickmcgavin2245]

Dave said he wants to create more female characters. Well all I see is Dave taking characters that someone else created. And destroying them. This is Disney's star wars. One of the most powerful weapons in star wars a lightsaber. Disney has basically neutered it.

[@tomquimby8669]

I am liking this show and hope it grows

[@DB-rg2dk]

Jason shows up to answer your question

[@oxmeatpete]

It now makes sense why Ewan McGregor did the car shaming video. He got his wife hired for a role on KK female SW coming down the pike. She certainly was not hired for her acting. Ewan was preemptively trying to shame fans into acceptance knowing full well the more blatant messaging was coming and his wife is a part of it. I no longer wonder if Ewan is just towing the line for the money or if he believes in what his wife believes in.
