Ahsoka in white is an absolute thing of beauty!

Yeah we’re definitely getting another Ahsoka figure from Hot Toys now. And it’s going to be glorious!

this episode is probably one of the best Star Wars episodes of any show or film I have ever watched. I am watching in parallel the clone wars so it touches my heart. Also all the complains about Anakin cgi on previous ep blew the haters.

While I found the second half of this episode to be a tad boring since IMO they tried too hard to make it feel "majestic" (come on get in the damn whale already so we can see Thrawn) boy did the first half deliver.

Spoiler

Finally seeing live-action TCW complete with Anakin, Ahsoka and Rex legitimizes that entire series for me, even if I thought they could have done a better job casting young Ahsoka. She reminded me more of young Gamora from Infinity War.

Anakin saying "I've been told that before" in reference to what Luke said to Vader in ROTJ was truly a "whoa" moment that also integrated Hayden with the OT more than ever before.

Utilizing more of Hayden and Ewan to redeem the PT while both actors are young enough to reprise their roles is *exactly* what I was hoping Disney would do when they announced that they'd be doing these shows. Pity they botched Obi-Wan so badly.

The actress who played young Ahsoka (Ariana Greenblatt) played young Gamora in Infinity War. I thought she looked familiar.

 

[Khev]

Ha, I literally just said that. Well that explains that then.

I wonder what young version of an established character who's judgmental of a father figure who threw the universe into chaos she'll play next, lol.

Just a fantastic episode!

So much to love in this episode. The new Ahsoka figure will be a must have for me. As well as the Clone wars version.

A franchise like SW has what I consider an abundant excess of untapped and unexplored storytelling potential.....

As a thought exercise, if you were in charge, where would you take the franchise?

Genuinely curious on where you'd set your path. Personally, one of my rough concepts is the Poseidon Adventure in Star Wars. The Mon Calamari come from a water planet IIRC, so a Star Destroyer gets hit hard as Ackbar escapes ( everyone loves Ackbar) and then it sinks and before everyone drowns, a group of mostly no name Imperials have to try to escape. Gives a chance to sort of humanize the Empire rank and file, so to say. To me, IMHO, that's a way of staying in the universe but avoiding most of the canon and established characters. Also I could bring back Ackbar, because again, everyone loves Ackbar. And I'd like to see the Mon Calamari just kill a ton of Imperials.

Look forward to your response, thanks.

I’m surprised slynger didn’t post spoilers for next weeks episode while he was at it, what a slacker lol

So did the Asian X-Wing pilot when he emerged out of the ocean to save the day. Oh wait, lol.

You had to go and ruin them for me.

 

[Khev]

Man some of those dueling shots on the fancy space bridge thing were just gorgeously staged.

 

[slynger]

My apologies, excited is an understatement.

Fine! Sheesh! I’ll watch it! Ugh! All this high praise. Guess I’ll give money back to the rodent

You won't be disappointed. Even Lizzo was slightly less annoying this episode.

Bout to watch now. After seeing a certain scene on YouTube I knew I couldn’t pass this up. Dammit Disney just when I thought I was out of the game

Agreed. 1st half was great.. but I still liked the 2nd

Not sure how I like light-speed whales though

Ahsoka in white is an absolute thing of beauty!

Was thinking the exact same thing while watching the episode. Everyone notice she seemed a little more lighthearted now

The whales gave me Avatar 2 vibes

Lol yep

Man some of those dueling shots on the fancy space bridge thing were just gorgeously staged.

Yes they were. This is easily the best looking of the SW shows.

Dude you will love it. That much I am sure.
