[@burna2650]

​@@TCO_404the change has to be good. StarWars is viewed different by each generation. Why forget about the fans who supported it for 40ys, and run with the new ones created in the last 20 so you can rewrite the narrative? Making the cartoon crew important to the live action was a big mistake. That's like saying someone needs to read the comics to understand what's going on. You alienate a bigger portion of your audience for a smaller portion. The franchise fanbase is actually getting smaller each generation. Which could have been avoided. I'd rather it die than see it just become worse over the next 20 yrs. Andor was the best thing we got from Disney in regards to the OT fans.

[@sampatterson2434]

Like the animated shows, Ahsoka adds a depth to all of Star Wars. You are right about how this showed Anakin’s fall build over the years. It fleshed out the beginning of the Rebel Alliance. And it pushed understandings of the force to a much deeper level. (E.g. “I’m the one in the middle.”) I love that this show is continuing those themes.

Ahsoka is what Rey should have been. She is the next Luke, but in being a very original character with a great background story. She could be the greatest character in Star Wars because we have watched her grow up into the Force user she is.

Luthen Rael was Axis, Ahsoka Tano was Fulcrum. That's a clever bit of writing you guys never mentioned. One implies the existence of the other, so Ahsoka was already an offscreen character in Andor, too.

I completely agree and that’s why I think it’s ridic to say well people don’t understand enough about Ahsoka, so they can’t make her show so mysterious. Like are you serious… If you’re a fan of Star Wars, and you haven’t invested in Asoka’s storyline… That’s your loss. If you have literally watched no Star Wars since the sequels besides the Mandalorian like, can you really call yourself a Star Wars fan? Anything with Asoka should be required watching, they don’t need to dumb it down for anyone.

[@burna2650]

This makes no sense to someone who is over 40 or 50, ya know the original fans. Young ppl tend to only think in absolutes. I above 40 and have seen it all but to call grown adults "non-fans" because they didn't watch the animated series is just a selfish take.

Excellent video. Ahsoka has the best character development imo. She truly could be what ties every piece of SW together and that sounds so poetic. They have such a great opportunity to revive the whole franchise and herald another era where SW takes the spotlight once again. So cool.

[@jomole1430]

Sorry for the essay, but I just have too much to say! I totally agree that Ahsoka is the most pivotal character in the Star Wars saga! I have been a fan of her from the moment she was introduced. I was 14 when The Clone Wars came out, about the same age as Ahsoka at the time, so she was instantly someone I could relate to, particularly with her character flaws. I was also excited to see a girl Jedi in a leading role for the first time (this was before I had delved into the Expanded Universe). Also, because of her flaws, I was excited about the possibilities of her character arc. I had no idea that she would go this far, let alone become my favorite character in all of fiction! After the end of Star Wars Rebels, I had a theory that Ahsoka eventually went to stay in the World Between Worlds to guard it from people who would try to misuse it. In doing so, she would be able to observe all of Star Wars history and accumulate knowledge and wisdom. Maybe she would even visit important people and events without interfering, or maybe she would interfere where she was meant to, like how Ezra was meant to save her from Darth Vader. In that way, she would be like the watcher or guardian angel of the entire Star Wars franchise! I admit it's a bit of a stretch, but we could still see something like that someday. I agree that it would make sense for Ahsoka to give Rey guidance in the upcoming movies. In fact, before The Rise of Skywalker came out, I imagined (but did not expect) that she would appear in the movie in a role similar to the knight at the end of Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, being an unnamed, old, wise character who briefly guided Rey to the final stage of her journey. I even thought about her giving Rey her white lightsabers to replace the Skywalker lightsaber after it broke in The Last Jedi. I knew that that wouldn't happen and fully expected her to have no role in the movie whatsoever, so I was overjoyed to hear her voice!

Thank you. This is the best video you've ever made! The idea of Ahsoka being the fulcrum for everything to come and tie it together so perfectly is genius. Awesome. Thanks

[@Briwar3313]

Luke was the biological child but Anakin was a true father figure to Ahsoka. She is the real heir apparent to Anakin's legacy. It's a hot take but look at it logically, he taught her everything where he was a simple hurdle for Luke/Leia. It's a prequel-era development but one that has obviously stuck. I'm all for it. We have more of her than we do of Luke and the character is one we can continue with now while the Luke/Leia era has passed, unfortunately. We can continue with her and the others of this post-2000 era because the actors haven't aged out. This is what Disney will continue to lean into (as shown already). I am sad to admit that the original trilogy is great lore but is also an anchor weighing down the franchise moving forward. It's been 40 years and the content has to move on. Respect the past and continue to build. Ahsoka is a way to strengthen that throughline as she bridges (potentially) all of it.

[@danosullivan4358]

Well said, and I am of like mind. Look up the definition of fulcrum, it describes Ashoka to a tee. May the force be with you always.

[@Wanderer25]

I disagree. The sequel trilogy and unfcking "somehow Palpatine returned" are perimeter limits that hold back the franchise.

[@yusef3132]

​@Wanderer25 your judgment, clouded it is. Trusting in The Force, you must be... Have faith...

[@julesmeyer1547]

I agree with Wanderer25. The sequel trilogy is the problem. De-canonize it and stop wasting time trying to legitimize it and make it make sense. It doesn't! Make the Heir to the Empire Trilogy in whatever format necessary. Clearly, Disney doesn't have a story as good as it. If you're going to use Thrawn, use the whole original story and related characters! I like Ahsoka's character and think that Dave has done a great job.

[@t00sa]

I think they were more like siblings, in the final season of Clone Wars Ahsoka even refers to him as an older brother. But agree on everything else

[@doktrulok24]

Yeah I have been pumping Ahsoka for years. She’s by far the best and I think the most powerfully balanced Jedi. Specially after the last episode. I finally got one of my friends that claimed he was a die hard StarWars fan but refused to watch clone wars because it was so much… but now he’s hooked and really has a greater appreciation for what they have done

[@jameskelly5604]

I’m pretty sure the Tegruda race ages half as slow and lives twice as long so it would put her in her prime

[@TCO_404]

And she has her connection with a Mortis god too. Ahsoka's character has been so connected to death, both in the stories, but also from a meta perspective, and the "Ahsoka lives" movement. I'm fairly certain the character will never really die.

[@AntiZombieFortress]

I love this perspective. We'll see Ahsoka more and more but I'd support mostly independent adventures with some code-red level team ups. She's too wise and connected to nature to not be a nomadic archetype. My only problem is with episode 10,11,12 theories. If Rey were to rebuild an order - it could inevitably lead to another dark side retaliation. To prevent this - the order would need to be FAR less public, rigid, and entitled than ever. Something like a tribe, not a bureaucracy. And no more kid snatching.

More than any other grand story, operatic series that I can think of. I love, love that they are finally doing this with Asohka, Mandalorian, Kenobi, Solo, and even Boba Fett (to a point) to further expand on the Clone Wars/Rebels/Legends lore that has filled in so much of the blank space between the films. Keep it up, Padawan Filoni - you'll be on the Council in no time.

She is masterfully portrait by Rosario Dawson, so I ain't mad. Of everything that Disney has ruined they have absolutely struck gold with Dawson and Pascal. Even in the most dull episodes their acting made it still worth watching, If Filoni can learn to stay away from macguffin chasing and keeps the emphasis on creatures who are critical to the storyline. I mean who didn't love the Rancor riding, Space whales(forgot their name) and the baby Pterodactyl looking things coming out of the ship at the end of S03E04(I believe) It's things like that which make the world believable imho.

This is why characters like Ahsoka, Maul, R2 and even Starkiller who isn't canon anymore are absolutely great, they all have seen a lot, have changed a lot both from their own scheme and the bigger scheme of the story, not only all this but they also were written as badass as they should be.

So I hope Ahsoka comes with a Zippo and finish burning those darn texts, I want to see people really learning to be ones with the forces not being zealous religious fanatics who wield the force instead of letting them being used by the force.

This was a great video! I don’t agree at all with the claim that Ashoka is THE most crucial character in Star Wars, but she’s certainly among the top, for the reasons you mentioned. You just can’t simply brush aside the fact that it was the Skywalkers that ended Palpatine and it was Anakin and Luke the ones that unbalanced and re-balanced the force. Ashoka was a key player along the way, but there would have been no Star Wars saga without Anakin or without Luke. There certainly was a saga without Ashoka. I’m not even going to discuss the garbage that is the sequel trilogy and I continue to hope that it gets retconned (there’s still time).

I think it would be AMAZING if Disney did a trilogy of movies with Ahsoka and characters from Rebels, that occur parallel to the original trilogy.

I like the idea that what Ashoka and Huyang discover is that Thrawn isn't necessarily the big bad, but the Grist are and that is who has been calling Morgan.

When Thrawn returns its going to be intense. He knows the force is the only thing he can not plan for so the only force user of this Era not on his side is going to die.

The Ghorman Front will rise!! As for the links, it's basically Filoni filling in the enormous gaps within the ridiculous sequel trilogy 16:04 "If I had a wartime Admiral, a Chiss! I wouldn't be in this crap!!" Emperor Sonny Corleone I agree that Ahsoka is essential to entire arc of Star Wars as Filoni has established, in fact there is a clip on KZbin that shows the timeline from the Last Jedi and the World Between Worlds episode that reveals that Ahsoka is alive, as her removal from the timeline would lead to the Luke that we got in TLJ. Only problem is that the Rey project is not connected to Filoni and I don't know if they will link them. As of me writing this though, maybe that has changed with the gravitas that Filoni has brought to the storyline.

If we are stuck with the sequel trilogy as cannon, then the ideas outlined here would be a nice way to try to tie all things together. Certainly would be nice to see Ahsoka play a role in her old age of rebuilding a jedi order.
