[@TheStarWarsCurmudgeon]

The show had such promise, but it is a shame they ruined it with a very nonsensical plot and an idiotic decision to make Sabine Force sensitive.

[@TheImperialCommunique]

You’re missing the whole point of Star Wars, then. The force is an allegory. A message that we all have a power within ourselves to do great things.

[@livingatV-level]

@@TheImperialCommuniqueRight on!

[@TheStarWarsCurmudgeon]

​@@TheImperialCommunique The Force represents many things to us, the audience, but in the world of Star Wars it means specific things and characters definitely have limitations.

[@NileMcKenna]

@@TheImperialCommunique No they are def not. The point that the force is in everyone is very poorly done in this show. Sabine was learning as fast as a real force sensitive despite having an incredibly low midochlorian count

[@TheImperialCommunique]

@@TheStarWarsCurmudgeon exactly! Thus Sabine and her difficulties in believing in herself. We all have self-doubt.

How ever you feel about the series seeing Anakin and Ahsoka together on screen in live action was a dream come true for people who grew up with the Clone Wars.

[@TheImperialCommunique]

It was a great episode to show on a screen!!

[@BWrightAnimations]

You know Dave is living out a Star Wars filmmaker's fantasy to be able to write/direct Jedi Knight Anakin scenes with Hayden at his disposal. Especially being a prequel fan. Lucky bastard haha

[@lucariostegman7818]

I love how Rosario is wearing black, Natasha is wearing white, and Hayden’s in the center.

[@jackdubz4247]

He did bring balance after all!

[@thorinwoods2642]

All I need for the second season is a scene between Ewan, Hayden, Tem, and Ariana in a flashback.

[@TheImperialCommunique]

That would be amazing!

[@rileyreese3991]

YESSS

[@Zed-ti9uj]

Especially interested to see Rosario and Natasha in a flashback, when they were training or before they started training, in the OT period.

[@dejabu24]

Kiner's music is like a character of its own whether is in the animation or and in this show , S2 will be much better I can't wait

[@saijovierundachtzig6346]

Hayden is dressed in Yoda green...😅 Yoda: ah skywalker like my style u do mmh mmh...😆

[@thrasher2753]

They better use Hayden for live action as much as they can because he isn't getting any younger. Don't want them to wait 30+ years like they did for Mark Hamil

[@jackdubz4247]

Agreed. Strike while the iron is hot. Hayden still has so much to give.

[@naydenlover]

I LOVED THIS SHOW!!!!! I've watched it SO many times and will continue to do so and hope it gets nominated for awards because it was so amazing and having Hayden back in Star Wars is everything to me and him and Rosario are Snips and Skyguy

[@Thurrak]

Oh my gosh Rosario is so much like Ahsoka its amazing. She is absolutely perfect for the role!

[@Blircos]

thanks for recording this interview! That was amazing and so full of passion! Thanks to you we can all experience it!

Loved this show. Kevin Kiner did a masterful job, I listen to the soundtrack constantly

[@mrlij6534]

amazing soundtrack

[@andromeda5414]

Me too, especially Epilogue 2 and The Hyperspace Jump.

[@nullpointer5603]

It was an awesome show. Loved it. Sure, some light saber fights at the end with the zombie troopers might not have been great but i can overlook small stuff like that just like some of the action sequences at the beginning of RotJ on Jabba's barge looked wonky as well. People get too focused on the details. It had the essence of star wars and rebels is easily one of my favourite shows. So this was awesome. Thanks Dave.

[@ameliasword7680]

I’m just really happy that one of the main dudes that ran clone wars is still running all of Star Wars today. I grew up with clone wars, so the fact that the essence of clone wars and George lives on thru Dave just really hits it for me. Btw you kept that camera of yours remarkably still and the recording quality is excellent bro, and what a good interviewer that dude is. Hi from perth, western australia

[@TheImperialCommunique]

Hello there in Perth! Thanks for the comment. 🙏

[@barkley8285]

It doesn’t. Filoni is a fraud , Tcw ended with s6.

[@TheImperialCommunique]

@@barkley8285 with respect, you have zero idea as to why The Clone Wars became so good starting around mid 2nd season. I do. I heard a first hand from people in the writers room. If you knew what I knew, you’d thank him.

[@dancingvalkyrie]

But the Ahsoka show sucked balls lol

[@barkley8285]

@@TheImperialCommunique With respect, you have no clue who the fuck you are talking too. I was 6 years old when the season 1 2 episode premiere came out. I watched every episode the night It aired for 6 years straight, every figure , every lego I had them all. TCW was made for people my age. Clone wars was good starting season 1. I wouldnt thank any writers for modern star wars. Ahsoka was a pile of shit. Bad acting, bad dialogue, bad vfx, terrible storyline, poor pacing, its worse then attack of the clones. Filoni is a fraud, who understanding nothing about what made TCW work. His work on rebels showcases that, since that cartoon was his first post lucas work and it was terrible. I think you dont understand what good cinema/television is, maybe watch more movies instead of being a top tier consoomer of the newest D+ content. You counting down the days for loki season 2?? Lmfao, TCW was my shit, I know everything there is to know about that show.

[@justinbloomfield1589]

Sounded Seppo when she first talked then a bit of Aussie accent came through at the end.. Bring on the talking in ya normal accent in interviews... its not acting when they talkin to the person who played the said character in said show/movie etc... keep it fair dinkum.😂

[@Zed-ti9uj]

That was the most disappointing part of this, others were talking, video was nearing the end, I was like, "wait wtf?!", She's the one that has had to get fully in the mind of Sabine Wren and she can spill more of the beans on what Dave and Jon told her about Sabine's headspace and her thoughts on the character moving forward. Especially since she's the co-lead. Kiner and Chiang have been around long enough lol, this is about Ahsoka.

[@OneNationUnderGod.]

@@jackdubz4247 I did with my entire family, my 3 kids and I have been to 3 Star Wars celebrations and seen every episode of TCW, Rebels and all of the new live action Star Wars Disney series. Ahsoka was criminally under used in her own series and that's a fact. I've been going to Star Wars celebrations since C3 in Indianapolis. Don't be so quick to judge people as a casual fan just hating on Disney, which they deserve plenty of.
