Thrawn is a Tactical Genius | Ahsoka Review

Ahsoka episode 6 is another disappointing piece of, dare I say, "storytelling", as we see Dave Filoni get the keys to characters that HE CREATED and do absolutely nothing with them. The reunion between Ezra and Sabine at the end of the episode is terribly written and directed. Oh, and Also, comparing Arcane to Ahsoka is literally Hydrogen Bomb VS Coughing Baby.

Admiral Thrawn is the kind of guy who'd walk into the room, trip over his own feet, stumble down the stairs, poop his pants in the process, stand up with as his pants fall down around his ankles and then say: Ahhh... all part of my plan. Then take a step forward, slip on his own poop and face plant onto the floor.

[@emilianomartorell3587]

There seems to be a sort of underlying narcissism in Dave Filoni’s work. Everything he makes must be central to the core narrative of Star Wars. His work has a parasitic relationship to the main saga; he never makes anything truly original, only ever working in the shadow of another movie or novel made by far more talented writers (Heir to the Empire, OT, PT, etc.); but always, he tries to recontextualize those stories to place his characters at the narrative forefront. All of his OCs are kept alive inexplicably throughout the whole arc of the Skywalker story; often times long after their arcs have reached a natural and satisfactory ending point. Stylistically he relies far too heavily upon callbacks and cameos to keep his stories engaging. He constantly talks about George’s mentorship over him to give people the impression that he is a sort of inheritor to the Star Wars legacy, which legitimizes his fan-fiction. When he wants to be taken more seriously, he parrots the aesthetics of greater respected works like Blade Runner or Akira Kurosawa’s filmography, but always misses what made those films truly special. This became clearer than ever to me with Tales of the Jedi, a darker, self-serious series which attempted to paint itself as mature political and moral commentary (According to Filoni, long, drawn out scenes with no dialogue means his work is deep. He continues this gimmick in Ahsoka). However Ahsoka was released in the shadow of Andor, and when you directly compare how these two works approach the same themes, the surface-level nature of his writing becomes incredibly apparent. Let us also not forget how completely hypocritical Filoni is when it comes to the treatment of writers' original characters. He's against anyone else writing for his own OC's (Ahsoka novel) and demonstrates this in his Tales of the Jedi retcons, yet he'll gladly take another writer's OC (Thrawn) and butcher their character beyond recognition. Filoni has a knack for taking once beloved characters and making them into shells of their former selves to bolster his preferred characters (what he did to Barriss to make Ahsoka look better is a prime example of this). But that's what you have to do when you don't have talent.

[@baki484]

I agree with everything you said and the Filoni Fanboys call the original works that respected what came before and adding to it as "fanfiction that works as inspiration" Calling ahsoka his pet isn't far off either he can't seem to let her go.

They should have kept Thrawn as a behind the scenes character but also given him significant progress since we last saw him. Show how great of a villain he is through his actions and accomplishments. Instead of a Thrawn who sat on his hands for 10+ years, show Thrawn’s forces having taken control of a few star systems in the new galaxy and building up his fleet. Constructed a cloning facility to be able to supplement his forces. Working on building an engine to get back to his galaxy. That way the heroes could have been facing Imperial forces, maybe a higher ranking lieutenant or commander and keeping Thrawn as a mysterious shadowy figure at the top that we almost never see until he springs his trap and escapes back to his galaxy.

I’m glad more people are Finallyy coming around to realizing Filoni is not the “GOAT” of Star Wars that too many fans claims he is. He’s done a lot of good for Star Wars but he’s also the reason why Star Wars isn’t being new and progressing like it should.

[@CheeseOfMasters]

The reason was the cutting of the EU. They should have kept the reimanginings and their new ideas separately from the already well written New Empire stories. Also the problem of the new movies and the producer direction make this situation unsalvegable. Star Wars will remain doomed until they rectify everything they've done since Lucas departed.

[@Warmaker01]

In the books Thrawn didn't kill for killing's sake. The koopas would be safe, they presented zero threat to Thrawn and his forces. He also did not throw away his troops for stupid reasons in the books. He used his forces wisely. In the books, Thrawn despised ineptness and rewarded competency. I recall Thrawn having an incompetent crewman killed immediately while later on, another crewman that failed in capturing the Rebels but did everything right was rewarded, commended on the spot in front of everyone. What we see of Thrawn now is nothing at all like this.

[@WilkenWilkins]

The scene with Baylon talking to shin on the new planet was actually one of my favorite parts of the show, even though the dialogue from Shin can be clunky, Ray stevenson is just such a good actor, especially when he’s talking about his greater purpose and ending the cycle, it’s too bad the finale didn’t build on any of that…

Season two will start with Sabine, who's been in a coma ever since that time Shin killed her, waking from her bacta tank after a year or two and telling Ahsoka that she just had the wildest dream. None of that silliness with the Night Queen will have actually happened, and when we finally do see Thrawn he'll be as terrifying and brilliant as he is in those old books.

I posted comments on SW Megs vote post. This Filoni fan boy goes back and forth with me about how bad my objections are. For instance, in the first episode when Baylan was blocking blaster fire, he looked like a robot. I pointed out that the Rogue One Vader scene was much better. I also said the Mando and Andor series were leaps and bounds better. After several back and forths, the guy says basically the same team as Mando is doing Ahsoka. Different actors, directors and story writers. Filoni was credited with three Mando Episodes! The guy says the BTS is the same. So I replied I give you that the scene and costumes are good. No good story! No good directing! But the scene building and costumes are good? I would rather have Tom Baker Era Dr. Who. That was good story with terrible costumes and scenes.

I didn’t like it they did thrawn and Sabine so dirty it’s honestly sad. They made Sabine annoying with 0 consequences of her actions, and not even feeling bad about what she did. The dialogue writing also sucks and is bland. Sabine in LA and rebels feel like two different characters and she didn’t need to be a Jedi sure there was only ONE sign she was force sensitive in rebels but Sabine also held her own in any situation and always had a trick up her sleeve and never relied on a lightsaber or the force. She used her rockets, explosives, cable, smoke bombs, and jet pack. Where tf are these in the show? She barely used them and I hate how they make her look stupid in this show like if she’s not a mandalorian, an explosive expert and the one who defeated Gar Saxon. Also you can literally see her mature in rebels especially when she met her family again and all the other mandalorians hate her for what she did but she just didn’t sit there and cry about it she actually did something about it which was earning their trust again. I really just hate how different LA and rebels Sabine is I don’t get how tf Dave did a whole 360 with Sabine and completely made her into dog water. I also don’t get ahsokas stupid decisions of who she wants to train she didn’t wanna train Jacen for whatever reason but didn’t wanna train Grogu because of his emotions but somehow trained Sabine who is worse💀. My mom who never saw rebels btw even thought Sabines character was trash and that says a lot as I agreed as I saw freaking rebels it’s a shame how bad they did Sabine everyone hates her. Thrawn on the other hand relies on everyone else to do things for him and he pretends to act smart but he’s not. Bros such a tactician he doesn’t know how to close a door in this show. Hope Timothy Zahn has more control with thrawn is season 2 or in the movie also hope they somehow do Sabines character justice but I feel like she got ruined like Boba, Thrawn, and Luke did. They also made the ending look like a happy one😂 Sabine and ahsoka are basically chill with being stuck in the middle of nowhere while the infamous grand admiral is FREE.

"It reeks of the Jedi" So we find out later these 3 witches are actually NATIVE to the planet they are on. Thrawn found them and woke them up. Yet they know about Jedi? This means Jedi went to this galaxy, to this specific planet no less, and spoiler alert they did some really important shit on this planet that Baylen wants so badly he's willing to sacrifice the entire main galaxy by returning Thrawn to it. So the Jedi went here, and they built something important..... Then they just STOPPED. They didn't venture out and populate AN ENTIRE GALAXY, they just popped by this singular planet, did something really important that won't effect the future of Star Wars because remember this all leads to the sequel trilogy, and then went back and deleted the directions to this planet, though they left in the archives it's POSSIBLE to get here, but nobody ever tried doing that. Hyperspace lanes aren't just magical relics of a bygone age that modern people need to find to unlock the ability to travel to a new solar system in the galaxy. They PLOT these routes themselves! It takes some time and it's a bit dangerous, but ALL the hyperlanes in the main galaxy were found this way. The hyperspace lane to another galaxy, WOULD BE POINTING THE SHIP IN THAT DIRECTION AND GOING TO THE GALAXY! Cause a hyperlane isn't an actual thing that exists, it's a route through a GALAXY that is safe to travel at hyperspeed. As Han explains in episode 4, if you just jump without looking where you're going you might come out in the middle of a star, FUCK OFF LAST JEDI. Hyperlanes are just sections of space that are EMPTY and therefore safe to drop in and out of hyperspace in. Makes considerably less sense how hyperspace whales exist, Mass Effect did it WAY better, but that's beside the point. The point is, if you have the desire to get to another galaxy, you can do that. Just find the galaxy, and go towards it. Might take a bit of time, but you can just build a bigger ship to sustain a crew for the journey, with plenty of supplies to get more food and stuff once you're there. Once you're IN the galaxy you need to scout hyperspace lanes, which is dangerous and time consuming but at the end of it you'll be able to dart around the second galaxy as easily as the first. So, the Jedi found this galaxy, GOT to this galaxy, and just decided to LEAVE and nobody else in the ENTIRE GALAXY thought it would be a good idea to colonize this galaxy!?

Also if it is abeloth then she has quite a lot to do with the ones of mortis aka the mortis gods aka the son the daughter and the father, also the nightsisters actually worship the daughter and the son.

Thrawn was so underwhelming, it made me confused when I saw so many people praising his role in the show! Thrawn should've been like the legendary Chinese strategist Zhuge Liang who was the top military leader and prime minister of Shu in the Three Kingdoms. Watching Zhuge Liang in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms TV show is a real display of strategic genius, using all sorts of creative tricks to defeat enemies.

I haven’t seen this show at all….. but….. who made the map to find the guy? If they made a map to him, they must like him. So why didn’t they just bring him back? Someone had to go from point a to point b then back again. Like I said I didn’t watch this show so it might have been conveniently explained in some ludicrous way just to make the plot happen, as is the Disney Star Wars way. A map to Luke Skywalker? Who made it. If he wanted to never be found then why is there a map? The map maker had to know where he was?! Make it make sense you stupid writers.

[@gregorybrandenburger9457]

Forgive my ignorance, but I still don't understand why mandalorian armor can withstand so many blaster shots yet imperial armor doesn't stop anything and they die instantly. I also didn't see the blatant rip offs from Lord of the Rings until Nerdrotic pointed them out. Ashoka the white?

[@konstantinosnikolakakis8125]

Well, to delve into my nerd archives, Mandalorian armour prevents the blaster bolts from penetrating, as beskar can do that. Whereas stormtrooper armour is made of plastoid steal and is designed mainly to absorb the shock of the blast by spreading it out more, which has a higher chance of the trooper being wounded, but is more likely to save the trooper’s life. That’s what I remember. Of course, the actual reason is stormtroopers are expendable bad guys and Mandalorian are good guys.

[@LegoJango586]

@@konstantinosnikolakakis8125 yeah I do believe it’s bc mandalorians have beskar. And yeah it’s prob actually bc mandos are good guys, but at least there seems to be an in universe explanation.

Oh and uh, what’s wrong with Ahsoka the white? Dave literally said he wanted Ahsoka to become a Gandalf like figure. And also, it might be a little hard to find something no one has done before….

… bro you do realize Sabine is supposed to be a teenager on this show. She’s bound to make mistakes and what teenager do you know care about there mistakes? Also if she doesn’t make the mistake we don’t get Thrawn. Your review has good points but some of them are just you overdoing it. My main beef with the show was Ashoka and Sabine actresses can’t act and Sabine in the span of 5 minutes becomes one of the most powerful Jedi’s to master a force push.

[@slayerstenis]

Sabine is around 30 in the show.

[@simonkavan4996]

I hate to break it to you, but people don't act rationally, so as much as I dislike Sabine in this series, her behaviour kinda makes sense in the way that she only cares about finding Ezra. The only thing you can do is hate on stuff it seems, this isn't even constructive criticism. I am not saying Ahsoka is perfect (far from it) but you seem like a really dislikable youtuber. I honestly have no idea why your video got recommended to me (I actually can enjoy Star Wars) on the front page. I hope there are at least some things in life you can enjoy.

[@ActuallyAndrewYT]

I enjoy Star Wars when it’s good. Andor is peak peak Star Wars. And yes, Sabines actions are completely out of character considering that she is twice the age she was in Rebels, but has regressed as a character in this show being reduced to a snarky irresponsible child throughout the entire show. Oh and it doesn’t get better in episode 7

[@simonkavan4996]

@@ActuallyAndrewYT I do agree about Andor, but come on there are many things to like about Ahsoka. Baylan and Shin are amazing, I would say Ezra is himself like in Rebels (sorry for my English can't think of the proper expression he just feels like Ezra should). Thrawn is sort of disappointing compared to the books but it's still great to see him in live action. Enoch seems cool. The Noti were nice. It's cool to learn about the Night Sisters' history. It's great to see Chopper. There are many things to enjoy, I personally try not to compare other stuff to Andor because compared to Andor nothing is great.

*Promo sm*

[@adamqjsmith]

I agree with most of your points. But after watching Episode 6 (I started at 4), I have a hard time taking Star Wars seriously. The narrative's foundational elements unravel under even modest scrutiny. Take, for example, the dualistic underpinning of its world-building-dark versus light. This framework seems reductive, especially when contrasted with the complexities of reality, where moral absolutes are rare and "badness" often stems from psychological imbalances or excesses. My aim isn't to critique, but rather to understand the impetus behind expecting anything serious from the franchise.

[@cemarz]

The OG series does not depict light vs dark as some all or nothing affair. It does, basically, the exact opposite. Outside of Palpatine. Darkness is rather bluntly described as negative emotions and actions. Succumb to them and you are likely to continue succumbing to them. It's a behavioral metaphor, not a good vs bad metaphor.

[@SeansMusicHunt]

I clicked this video because I like the agree with what you say but I can't get over when you were rambling about the droid saying "a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away." The story starts in another galaxy and if you didn't figure that out, I don't care to hear anything else you have to say.

[@konstantinosnikolakakis8125]

By everything else you mean the people actively attempting to prevent him from leaving. Wouldn’t it make more sense to just kill them when you had the chance and leave. Hell, Ezra should be dead already, either dead or on Thrawn’s side.

[@LegoJango586]

@@konstantinosnikolakakis8125 first of all the show literally tells you that he wasn’t able to kill Ezra, And and the show tells you that Ezra couldn’t come close to him, so, thrawn just decided to leave it at a stalemate. Secondly, my point is he was unconcerned whether the protagonists survived or not, he just wanted to delay them long enough so he could get away. Also he didn’t care that two dark Jedi just fell into his lap, all he wants is to get away, every decision he has made was to further that goal. I’ll admit that not killing Sabine when he could’ve was a bit weird, but baylan did promise her that she would see Ezra again. Also thrawn knew Vader and Vader only became Vader because of his emotional attachment, so he knows that if he kills Sabine, that might piss off ezra and Ahsoka enough to get them so enraged that they could just storm thrawn ship and kill him. That has a very low chance of happening but thrawn didn’t want to take the chance.

[@konstantinosnikolakakis8125]

​@@LegoJango586 Couldn't come close to him? Mate, Ezra was a day's giant dog ride away, and Thrawn has tie fighters. Just because a show tells us something happened doesn't mean it makes sense.

Ok buddy, btw I did not edit the raw footage at all. I added crickets because that’s what was going on, no subtext, just surface level looks and dialogue. Dave is really good at writing nothing. Also Silco had nothing to do with Vi and Jinx reuniting. He also did not know about the flare.
