Ariana Greenblatt (young Ahsoka) was still the best portrayal of Ahsoka in the show, IMHO. Because of her dancing and acrobatic skills, her combat style was far better and more accurate, both to character and to an actual sword stance. She also gave feeling to the character. Emotion and depth.

[@scottshieldman]

@ahsokatanofanboy8292 I think we did understand. It's just that often, the idea of a neutral based character gets confused with an emotionally stunted or locked mindset. It is hard for directors to allow portrayals of characters at war with themselves. This, I think is what should have been Ahsoka's challenge. Her inner fight, not light vs. Dark, but rather, could she overcome the resentment and hurt left behind by her masters betrayal. Instead, they went with the easy will she, won't she fall to the dark side like Anakin did. It was a choice.

[@castertr0y357]

Aside from Hayden just flat out being leaps and bounds better at swinging a lightsaber than any of the other cast, I really enjoyed Baylan's fight style. It looked like one that came with age and wisdom. He used minimal effort to achieve maximum effect. His moves were straightforward, and he could overpower his opponent when he needed to. It seemed much more real than the dumb flourishes that the rest of the cast was doing against opponents that literally had to chance against them. Also, during the whole Ahsoka vs. Morgan fight, the Stormtroopers surround them, and my first thought was, "Shoot them in the back." I don't care if Thrawn achieved his main objective by stalling them long enough to escape. He had an enemy and a disposable pawn surrounded with troops. They could have easily taken out both of them with just the sheer numbers.

[@weareharbinger914]

Yeah but they are heroes, so even without beskar, literal plot armour. It is why when you had Ezra, Sabine and Ahsoka vs 40 troopers they didn't just all shoot at once and win. Because have to do zombies which are also useless.

Rebels introduced Kallus (although he does turn to good, he becomes a side character, but popular because of the turn), Thrawn and the Inquisitors. Even the sequels had Phasma, Snoke and Kylo plus The Knights of Ren, before they mostly ruined all of them.

Sabine Wren was a trained Mandalorian versed in basic Mando combat, an explosives expert, an expert marksman, a super talented engineer that no one could copy, a talented repair technician that is able to repair anything like ship engines and weapons, is able to defeat Clone Wars veteran Mandalorian soldiers like Gar Saxon in 1v1 combat, attended in the Imperial Academy, was a fantastic Tie fighter pilot, designed a super weapon (without any help) that baffles other Imperial/Rebel/Mandalorian Engineers, was a famous Bounty Hunter throughout the Galaxy and had other Bounty Hunters owe her favors, is able to wield a lightsaber without the force and fight Jedi 1v1, comes from a famous Mandalorian family (which is basically Royalty) and was a well known Galactic Artist because of her famous art......all before the age of 14 years old!

I don't get the hype for Andor because it was just so boring to me and I much prefer Mandalorian and Boba Fett and others with fights, humor, and cameos!

Baylan and Shin are cool in theory: A stoic knight and his feral Joan of Arc. But S1 just did not drop enough info about them or their motivations to keep me engaged all the way through. Sure maybe it will eventually, got to build the mystery up right? Most of these episodes felt like missed opportunities though.

[@Stakex]

@@curtisbme Totally agree. Stevenson did a really good job playing Baylan with what he had to work with, but the fact is neither Baylan nor Shin actually did much in the show nor did they have any sort of meaningful character development. How anyone could say they're "incredible" is beyond me.

@@Stakex "Had incredibly cool presence" would be valid.
