Star Wars: Ahsoka

[xipotec]

Been reading some wild fan theories about these two.....The ages would be about right.

MyenShi assigned me this series as homework, so I started watching. [just kidding, he didn't really].

Rama's very succinct Ahsoka episode 1 review:

*NIce production values. The soundtrack is serious and pleasing.

*Women are talking. So many women. Talking, very seriously.

*A non-obnoxious droid assistant. Refreshing.

*Ahsoka looks very good. This is good character design.

*Ah, Sabine. So, so perfect. An -edgy- Mandalorian badass. So rebellious! You will not tell her what to do. A 19? year old GENERAL, mind you. With AtTiTuDe. She also fights Force users with a lightsaber. This is breaking tradition; I thought Mandos used slug-throwers to combat pesky Force users. Jango would not approve.

I am gonna call the US Navy high command tomorrow morning and DEMAND to know why a nineteen year old chick is not commanding the USS Nimitz. They better have a good answer.

Sabine looks nice, good character design.

*We have two Sith characters here. Both seem like they are kicking @ss and taking names. Very no nonsense. Then Shin Hati runs Sabine through with a lightsaber. Well you know what they say, FAFO Sabine. Good for you, Shin. You did that with much less posturing and smack-talking than Maul would have. I can respect that.

*Come to think of it, they said Ezra was a general, too. I want to hurl myself about the room, laughing.

We'll see how episode 2 goes. 2.5 of five stars.

I don't know but that Hera's kid is starting to get on my nerves for some inexplicable reason.

Been reading some wild fan theories about these two.....The ages would be about right.

I haven't read any of those theories, but the name Jacen made me think of a connection to Leia and Han's children. Jacen and Jaina were the twins, and the youngest was Anakin.

While Hera's Jacen doesn't look remotely half Twilek, he was born in 1BBY which was before Han and Leia met. The name was just a coincidence, but I guess the theories are saying he'll follow the same path as Jacen Solo / Ben Solo.

It's also being heavily rumored that Carson is a young Starkiller Base.

No ST connections please thank yoooooouuuuuuu

 

[Dark_Knight_89]

Echoing what Asta mentioned, Jacen was born before ANH (his father, Kanan, died before ANH). So ages do not match up with Kylo Ren. Definitely just Jacen Syndulla.

Not Kylo Ren, that would be F***ING stupid.

There’s been ST connections in most of these D+ shows including this

So other than the flash back interaction scenes with Anakin- I thought this was a pretty weak episode.

The space whales are cringy— sorry

Next episode should improve— I hope

Nothing so completely and directly explicit, in my opinion.

In fact, apart from showing the New Republic to be quite weak and open to fierce opposition (which isn't really an unavoidable direct link to the ST IMO), I actually can't think of any ST links in the Disney+ shows so far.

Adult Jacen confirmed…

Those weird instant meals that Rey uses

It's crazy how much I identify with this scene.

"The PT sucks! It screwed up everything!!!"

PT: "Then throw us away and never watch us again."

*sigh* "No. I'm good. I accept the bad with the good." (Watches AOTC again and kinda likes it)

lol

 

[Khev]

Wow...

 

[loki2371]

Wow...

Wait, so Ahsoka actually bested and got Anakin's lightsaber from him?

That was definitely just a dream sequence, right? Right??

Or yet again we're beat over the head with a certain catch phrase.

Thanks for that. Once again, I am back to not wanting to watch this anymore. More fanfiction.

 

[Dark_Knight_89]

Wow...

John Williams' score for "Revenge of the Sith" is phenomenal.

It has been stated many times in this very thread since the episode aired that it's Ahsoka's version of Luke's test in the cave which isn't about being able to "defeat" Anakin but whether you choose to strike him down or not.

I mean if you actually watched the episode and had all of the context then you'd understand what it's about. It's not about beating Anakin.

Finally. Someone who watches SW that GETS SW. Hurr durr Disney SW bad.

 

[jye4ever]

Anakin’s line about her still holding on “TO THAT” has instantly become one of my favorite lines in Star Wars history. I am still laughing but in a good way, not mocking it.

Are you still going on about me slaughtering those silly kids?

LOLOLOL

No matter what line of dialogue I use,

No matter how I change it,

No matter how I replay it in my head it’s pure

LOLOLOL
