(Art by Chyche) Obviously, that possibility is long gone in the main continuity, but what about a timeline where Order 66 never happened and Palpatine was defeated that day? Do you think Ahsoka would be the type to want a family (i.e. a partner and children) or do you think she would want to remain single instead of settling down?

Jedi do not kidnap.

Adoption is not kidnapping by itself (though it certainly can be in, for example, U.S. history).

The Sith clearly kidnap.

I don't like how The Acolyte is changing this.

I'm worried about where the series is going.

It's been my favorite series outside of Andor.

But yeah, this does not look good.

(I haven't seen the recent episode though.)

Check it out.

I like the influence of Daoism on Star Wars and the Jedi religion. Also, they could've brought up the "Don Juan" influence of Star Wars and the Force. Good that the video touched on the New Age crap that inspired Star Wars, of course. Ugh, I hate New Age crap. But hey, it inspired George Lucas and gave us the Jedi so whatever.

Also, I like how they brought up the scene with Qui-Gon Jinn and Yoda in The Clone Wars series.

I thought they could've done more with this video and they missed a lot besides.

In fact, you could make a whole documentary of this, but it seems that this is the opening to a whole series so I'll be patient.

What influences do you think they could've emphasized here?

What else could they have said?

I feel like there are a lot of things that could've been said here, but it's definitely not a right-wing video and is even a bit... left-wing? Idk. I liked how it didn't try to pander to right-wing chuds. I like that aspect of it, at least.

Actually, on second thought:

Watch this video and keep up with the series sometime.

Cheers!


P.S.: What are your thoughts on what this series may be missing and what should be emphasized?

For me, they could easily bring up the corporatist politics of the Separatists and the nationalist politics of them and the fact there are stuff revealed about the politics of the Old Republic in The Clone Wars CGI series.

It's pretty good, but I didn't like episodes 6 and 7, though they were good in terms of quality. What I mean is that I personally didn't like them. Everything was wrapped up too neatly for my tastes, though a lot of people enjoyed the last two recent episodes. I will say this: the show certainly keeps you guessing and I like that. And the last two episodes certainly continued that tradition.

I feel that the first four episodes of season 3 were my favorite thus far. Crosshair and Omega shine as usual. I hope they both survive. The others can take a hike lol

(I kid about that last part, but I just find Omega and Crosshair more interesting; plus, I miss Tech already.)

Honestly, all three were pretty good and well-connected with each other (while still being somewhat standalone). I'm guessing we'll be having either two or even three separate storylines (cutting between Tantiss crew, Omega/Crosshair, and Hunter/Wrecker). There's also the possibility of following Rex/Echo in their own storyline, but then again, that's wishful thinking on my part. I like anthology formats or storylines that have separate POVs throughout the, well, story. Makes things more interesting that way.

Mainly, I miss TCW for the anthology format, but we'll see how season 3 goes as it's already off to a great start.

Discuss!

It's been making waves in the community.

So... amazing. Never seen anything like it.

This, and Hbomberguy's recent video have been great surprises.

It's been a few days, sorry about that!

I'm curious to hear what people thought of the finale (season finale?) of Ahsoka.

I could write a lot about it, but actually found that (for once) Polygon captured my thoughts much better than I would be able to write it myself... Ahsoka never bothered telling anyone it was just the middle of a story

The tag line for that season-review seals the deal for me: "What was Ahsoka, but eight hours long?"

As I mentioned before, as someone who's been a fan of the character for years and consumed every piece of media she's been in, this was simply such a letdown for me.

I was reading an article about Baylan's disappointment in Anakin. As if he wanted Anakin to be the chosen one until order 66. It just occurred to me... Could Baylan be Anakin's father? Or, at least be responsible for Anakin's existence? Maybe he used the force to impregnate Anakin's mom without her knowledge so he could bring forth the "chosen one." He'd have to hold onto that secret for the rest of his life, or Baylan could be held accountable for attempting to manipulate the prophecy, leading to the deaths of billions. Baylan might feel personally responsible for the fall of the Republic and the Jedi. Now, he's obsessed with fixing his mistake. This might be why Baylan knows that Anakin became Vader. Baylan is connected to him personally through the force and maybe also by blood. Baylan probably didn't even need to be near Anakin to know when he turned to the dark side. He could feel it from across the galaxy.

And we’re back, another week, another Revels reunion!

I didn’t check the time on this episode, but was it shorter than most? Does that mean we’re getting a feature length episode next week?

I do hope so, since I felt this episode didn’t really move the plot forward at all. Characters moved around, interacted, but nothing got pushed forward much or was resolved. Ahsoka made it to the planet though.

Hera’s side plot also… happened. Moving swiftly on from a very nice but pointless cameo. I think we get it, the New Republic can’t hunt for a massive hyperspace engine but can send three massive warships and organise a tribunal for one general. Because. Anyway.

Loved the camera work, the banter, the hugs, but… let’s hope next week makes things happen. Knowing Filoni, I’m expecting an exciting finale.

What a shame there are only 2 episodes left. Someone wrote earlier that this has been Filoni’s weakest outing so far. I tend to agree, but more because this episode, I finally, finally didn’t want it to end. The pacing felt good, some character motives came to light and yes, finally, the Chimaera, Thrawn and Ezra make their live action introduction.

For a show called Ahsoka, she was stuck in transit for the hour we had with her. So. Maybe a better title would’ve been “Ahsoka and friends”. Or “Sabine, with a side order of Ahsoka”

Can’t believe we now need to get a good feel for Thrawn in this new domain, have Ahsoka battle it out with the evil Sith, jump back (?) to the main universe and - God, the pacing for this season has been really, really poor. Ahsoka comes to grips with Anakin’s turn, finds her mojo and has a cameo sitting in a cockpit of her own show?

At least we had a cute animal and new alien race. And the Night Sisters are clearly still alive and kicking. Loved that part and the lore around it.

Sabine being coy with Ezra about the “how did you get here” felt quite poorly done. The only reason was plot, because that is clearly for next week so Ahsoka can actually do something.

Helmet-Sith was clearly not Ezra then. Don’t think we’ll ever figure that one out.

I do want all of them to get back to the SW universe though. It’ll be cool to see Thrawn work on establishing the foundation for the First Order. And Ezra to join up with the gang and kick some solid Rebel ass.

Just seems we may need to wait for 2027 to see the show we thought we would be watching now. Stop drawing things out!

Anyway. Can’t wait for next week. Which is a first this season.

Well, we finally got there. An episode where Ahsoka gained agency, made decisions and took hold of the story. For me, this was the first episode this season I thoroughly enjoyed.

Not going to lie, the first time Anakin called her Snips? Big moment!

And was that Rex commending her on a job well done? I do believe it was!

I really liked what Hayden Christensen did with Anakin here. I know he's a good actor (from roles besides Star Wars) but it's nice to see him given the freedom to bring some subtlety to Anakin here.

Seeing Clone Wars outfits & hairstyles? Now I need a remake of Clone Wars as live action.

Loved the classic Chopper responses, where it's not clear whether he's swearing all the time or just mumbling.

Jacen's force sensitivity played an important role, but was subtly done. But for Kanan & Hera's son to play a role in saving Ahsoka? Great.

It was an episode of Ahsoka fully focused on Ahsoka, which was great. As much as I like seeing Sabine in action, this focus on Ahsoka is why we're here—it's in the show's title and this week it was absolutely the focus of the show.

It seems like we're moving into tighter plotting, with Hera now back to the fleet, our focus will be solely on this strange new galaxy. And we know what that means.

Thrawn.

(And hopefully Ezra)

The pacing issues with this season meant I still would've liked for us to get to this point two episodes ago, but let's see what the final three episodes will bring. Where last week felt like a 6 / 10 for me, this one's felt more like an 8 / 10. Good character work, subtle integrated callbacks, and a clear path forward into next week. Bring it on.

Since there’s no official thread I’m going to write my thoughts in this post as I watch the episode.

The animated stuff has never really grabbed me. All this Ezra stuff is like, “oh ok yeah uh huh he’s super important I get it.”

“Can I count on you?” - foreshadowing?

I like this sith dude, but I feel like he’s going to turn to the light.

Rebellion insignia on Sabine’s mando armour 🤔

Jedi bot nooooo!

Oh good they saved him. I like this droid. What’s his name?

Oh, it’s the 25 year old general again. I don’t mind her character, but she doesn’t seem grizzled enough to be a general.

How come her kid doesn’t have head tendrils?

Oh it’s Mr. Kim! I always like seeing him show up.

Ooooo baddies being bad. Trippy map stuff is fun.

Uh oh showdown time.

Cool fight. She should have just stabbed spinny-lightsabre guy in the knuckles though. Guess we’ll never know who that guy was. Did we know Sabine had a light sabre or is this a new development?

Oh no they’re splitting up! Mr. Droid said not to do that!

Can’t they make a copy of this map? Why are they fighting over this one map? Any good data hoarder would have backed it up by now.

Oh shit they’re going to talk about Anakin now!

Yeah get bent pal, she doesn’t have to explain herself to you.

Yeah don’t start wars, bro. Or do, I guess that’s why I’m watching Star Wars

Oh lightsaber time again already??
