Ahsoka Review Disney Star Wars POINTLESS Death - Finale Season 1 Episode 8

[@disparutoo]

Ahsoka Review of the Season 1 Episode 8 Finale. Disney+ have taken over Star Wars and made a series that serves no purpose except to explain where Ahsoka and Sabine were during the sequels. If Sabine, Ahsoka, Baylan, the General, didn't exist, nothing would change except for Ezra staying where he was. Then we find out Thrawn loses every single battle he ever fights but claims victory because he managed to run away. People say you have to watch rebels? You DON'T have to watch Ahsoka, "Ezra returns" is the entire summary you'll need for any future series/movie. But what did you think of what you saw? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

[@dragonsman4733]

Ahsoka was quite literally described by Dave Filoni as "Rebels season 5" this story was planned as soon as rebels seasons were planned out, and before the sequel trilogy was even created. So you're wrong there, but the rest of your videos I have got to say are great and hilarious with your use of sarcasm.

"If you removed Ahsoka from Ahsoka, all of the same events would happen." At first I was sceptical, but, now that I think about it, you're right. Ahsoka didn't achieve anything. She failed to prevent Elsbeth from finding Thrawn, and she failed to prevent Thrawn from returning. She just followed the villains around, killing their henchmen, but not stopping any of their plans. And now she's stranded in another galaxy and trying to pretend that everything is fine.

It's the only way it could work in a universe with no consequences. The good guys can't guy, the bad guys can't be stopped. Both sides are stupid and incompetent and damn lucky. It's just ideas thrown at the wall and workarounds trying twist the story in knots getting to a prescribed endgame.

I recall the Lucas-time EU had it that the Force kind of "tunes out" outside of the galaxy and hyperspace travel never really succeeded at leaving it either. It was a sane couple of limitations for the setting's scope and features. But the Disney droolers don't care, so now the Force is in the entire universe and every galaxy is accessible if you try. I don't think they realize the can of worms that opens, including "so what about other galaxies' species and Force-users and why don't they feature in the Force?".

The result is Dave Filoni is not even worthy to shine the shoes C.S Lewis, J.R.R Tolkien or even George Lucas for that matter and as Disney's stock continues to drop it just proves that Ashoka is trash along with Bob Iger, Kathleen Kennedy and Kevin Feige are the parasites that lead Disney down the woke path that will lead towards their own self destruction and the EU is true Star Wars and that is the bottom line because reality said so.

[@Gorbz]

The Dark Side is the path to quick and easy power, exactly what Sabine demonstrated in this episode. Every time she tried before, there was nothing. All of a sudden, she has Force powers. Sabine is evil.

[@cattrucker8257]

Such things don't even figure into Disney Wars writing. Whether someone's "dark" or "light" depends entirely on whether the writing PoV is with them or against them. They can even use the same powers and "jedi" can freely get raging and emotional and no-one bats an eye. There's no rules or laws to the Force anymore, heck, Sabine "getting" the Force like that just broke its fundamental rule (that it's not just a magic school you can learn from study but you gotta be born with the ability or be explicitly given it through unnatural means for a worse result).

But then again, after all that time without consistent training on her own, Sabine would have gotten rusty.

[@darthsenate9506]

If Sabine can use the force like it’s nothing, why were the Jedi literally spending hundreds of years finding CERTAIN types of species that could wield the force, by Disney’s standards now the Jedi temple should of had billions of force users at once, yoda training and teaching Jedi for 900 years seems a little of a fluke now

[@MWBalls]

Game logic. The Jedi where looking for people who randomed into the jedi class on character creation. Sabine multi classed into jedi but it cost her almost all the experience points she accrued from the various mass murder war crimes she committed during the rebellion and didn't have enough experience points to actually pick up any jedi skills until she spent some time farming zombie troopers.

[@white0thunderwhite0thunder71]

Because Disney.

[@sebulbathx]

Jedi train for years to learn the basics. I bet now after Sabine, without any force sensitivity, found the force when she managed to pull that weapon on the ground she is almost master level now. And i think she has already showed signs of it. She had a struggle pulling the gun from the ground but in the next scene she is able to force push Ezra 25 meters in the air without breaking a sweat so what's next after a stunt like that? It's Rey all over again if I can predict the future. Anyway I won't watch any future Star Wars show it's not worth it in terms of wasting my time and energy. But also especially my hard earned money.

[@sebulbathx]

@@white0thunderwhite0thunder71 True it's Disney and also it's because she is a female. Men still seems to struggle and have to train their skills in the force but not women. But speaking of Disney what has happened with lightsabres? I mean at one point Sabine and/or Ahsoka cut the head off of some black troopers. In the next scene the same types of lightsabre moves and hits only made some scarring and damage to the troopers armor. But they still dies in both cases. My first thought was do light sabres have different power level settings on the handle and the higher level or power you use the more you drain the battery or what...or is it just a case of the show being very inconsistent?

A fact that makes no sense since this is supposed to be THRAWN.

Thrawn was supposed to be a military genius. Instead, we got a pot-belly blue Santa Claus who couldn't even leave scratch marks on 3 rogue Jedis (2 of which were trainees) despite a fleet, two mercenaries, bandits, 4 witches, and their "magik". Ahsoka survived a laser hellfire and a minesweeper and killed Morgan Elsbeth and the only loss that Thrawn inflicted on Ahsoka was "time". He couldn't even down the hideous junk, Ghost.

One part that bugged me was when Ezra made his lightsaber. It was treated like a really mundane thing that anyone could throw together in their garage. The kind of thing that you could slap together with some screws, a soldering iron, and a little elbow grease, and bam, Jedi sword. At least Jedi Fallen Order added the mystical part where after he put his new saber together, Cal used the Force to finalize the construction by aligning the crystal with the components. Disney respects absolutely nothing about Star Wars, especially lightsabers. They just treat everything like a cheap prop they borrowed from the Galaxy's Edge park.

[@MWBalls]

I don't mind him being able to make a saber so fast, its literally his 3rd time making one. And robot man having tons of lightsaber parts on hand is fine because thats his character. The issue I have is where the f did they get the kyber crystal?! Those things are rare and the traditional jedi way of acquiring one involves the crystal "choosing" you.

If Grandma Thrawn was a competent officer, he would have launched the Chimera before it finished loading. He would have used the Nightsisters to locate Sabine, Ahsoka and Ezra the same way they did last time. He would then have used his fighters to run recon and more precise attacks on individual strategic targets while using the Chimera's heavy artillery to annihilate the general postal code. If any survivors showed up on the sensors he would then send about 75% of his ship's marine garrison to crush said survivors. He could then have finished loading up the Chimera at leisure, secure in the knowledge that all his enemies are most likely dead. Basic, relatively functional strategy that can be tweaked if necessary.

Ezra: Now that i’m aboard, i can take down this ship from the inside. Wait, that would mean i’m still stuck with Sabine and Ahsoka. Nah fuck em, i’m going home…

When everyone is a Jedi, then no body is a Jedi.

[@AdonanS]

I just realized Morgan was sent to stop them from getting on the ship, but let two of them walk right past her so she can have her thing with Ahsoka. I'm not even sure why they did that, as Ahsoka already had a rivalry with Baylan, not Morgan.

[@TiMANosaurusRex]

Yep. She failed immediately. Shoulda sent Captain Goldface with her or something. Also, Ahsoka fought Morgan in Mando season 2, which was such a memorable rivalry that I forgot about it to the point I didn't even recognize Morgan when she appeared in this show.

[@BreakingWildGaming]

Because we needed to see two middle aged women, with no family, no children, just committed to their job, fight to the death because that’s what all little girls need to aspire to.

[@cattrucker8257]

The writers just kinda forgot.

[@BadMomentum]

​@@TiMANosaurusRexHoly hell! I completely forgot about Morgan in The Mandalorian until I read your comment. I was wondering why the show acted as if we are supposed to know her.

The point of having Luke or Ani be so proficient off rip was to show their unique abilities. Luke was also the son of a great political strategist and possibly the most skilled Jedi in the history of the order so it would make sense for him to have a natural inclination towards the force, even after years of it being suppressed. When everyone is special, no one is.

[@thrrax]

The problem with lightsaber fights in general is that the writers don't take into account the fact that they don't "behave" like regular swords. The lore itself explains very well how and why they work, but very little has been invested into actually creating a combat style that takes advantage of how and why they work.

[@cattrucker8257]

What's the saddest is that it CAN and HAS been done, but only in various side materials. Such as some game trailers like SWTOR's. There they actually use sabers' lack of physical blades and the way they cut and melt through things with ease and it makes for such awesome fighting. It's like the closer a "creative" is to big budgets, the worse they get.

[@thrrax]

@@cattrucker8257 Yeah, was thinking the same thing... I understand why back in the originals they did it how they did it, with metal rods and then adding the lightsaber effects in post production, but now when you have all this tech they are indeed worse. So you telling me that a highly proficient force user can "feel" the blaster shots enough to parry/deflect them, but can't turn off their saber in order to make their opponents lose their balance and turn it back on on fast enough to cause the beam to pierce them. And I've watched enough HEMA duels to know that the spinning is ridiculous... You might do that when you have a physical object in order to implement more force in your blows, when the opponent has an equally hard to wield sword, not with something that is virtually weightless.

[@thomassmyth65]

Ezra not using the force to make his saber was very upsetting to see, I'm so glad I don't have d+ anymore

[@asarishepard8171]

Thrawn said " we need more time " and started his ship up. Nothing happened there!

It didn't even penetrate the belly. A couple bandages and she's ready to kick jedi's asses again.

[@TheRoflcer]

Gotta love how Ezra (The Force User)'s strategy to fight the immortal heavily armoured zombie stormtroopers was to get close and personal with a lightsabre instead of... Force pushing them off the balcony. Even if they're invulnerable to fall damage, you've bought yourself half an hour of time.

[@lesigh1749]

And no dark side points for "killing" them with the force, because...already dead.

[@TiMANosaurusRex]

In the previois episode he literally claimed the Force was all he needed in a fight. Then he gets stuck fighting some rando 1 on 1 and totally forgets he even has powers at all.

[@cattrucker8257]

@@TiMANosaurusRex It's like the writing forgets itself not just between shows or between episodes, but within the same scene. We're reaching lack of continuity and coherence that should disqualify those responsible from ever writing anything, even a receipt (especially a receipt).

Disney Star Wars is skimping on the budget by not hiring good combat choreographers.

[@Mr.ANDERSONYOURASCAL]

9:23 Honestly I think that's just actual visible disgust, is just, we've never seen that from a droid, meaning that this one interaction with ezra was able to trigger the basic human emotion of repulsion, in a robot.

[@MajorSmurf]

See I understand that writers want to add their own ideas onto a project or universe but there is a point where too many ideas are just bad for a universe on a story telling level. The more pieces you add to a story the more you have to remember each and every piece and where it fits. I don't think Disney or their writers can do that. That's where are we with Star wars. It's just cramped full of ideas and not a single way gets any room to breath before we're hit over the head with a new idea or plot point while still struggling to understand WTH the previous garbled idea was. I truly think we've gone a little too far with the whole fantasy element with Star wars. Remember a set up without a pay off is a pointless waste of time and effort.

[@travisvanalst4698]

That’s what you get when you need 20 writers in a room to work on 8 episodes…lol.

[@travisvanalst4698]

Disney StarWars loves taking sacrifices people have made and making those sacrifices worthless. Anakin kills Palpatine to restore balance in the Force. Disney “somehow” brings Palpatine back. Ezra sacrifices himself to save the Galaxy from Thrawn, Sabine goes “eff that” and brings Thrawn back lmfao. Disney and anyone that works there can go bankrupt any time now.

[@TheL0ngbeard]

The issue does have a solution, or at least a way to make it easier and that is to move forward. Jump a 100years everyone is dead, new Republic while capable always has to deal with new threats. They could tell small, mostly self-contained stories. Instead, they need to bank on nostalgia you have for old characters, because they can't create new likeable ones and they keep messing around with what was established and jamming bullshit into it without thought. They could have done it with the High Republic, but all they did was create a ship name Vessel, rock called Geode and the grand jedi bake-off... at least we've learned what Yoda's favorite cookies were...

[@jessemorris3747]

I love how we get a visual example of how powerful the lasers are on the ship, then minutes later they can destroy the fortress

45:20 the funny part is there's a scene in Mortal Kombat 1 where a character is running through people with a sharp weapon and fights this range fighter, they properly close the distance, cut through there weapon and when they try to kick him back, they CUT OFF their leg and kill them, even that mess of a story understood basic logic

[@acetraker1988]

26:30 makes sense when you realise Hollywood writers think life is a turn based game.
