Star Wars: Ahsoka

[Sassafras]

Looks way more promising than that crappy Clown Obiwan.

I had been looking forward to Obi-Wan. The beautifully photographed sense of gritty solitude, the poignant conversations with Force Ghost Qui-Gon, the desperate hope in the form of an innocent young boy being watched over, Obi-Wan cleverly outwitting and misdirecting the fearsome Inquisitors sniffing around, the insanely choreographed fights - whoops.

Instead I learned you can take out Stormtroopers by slapping them not that hard, and little girls in the SW universe are born knowing advanced electronics, and the right way to jump from roof to roof is to do back flips for no reason whatsoever, and seems a fair number of the Inquisitors are stupid in that if you have a ship that runs on auto pilot nobody thinks just to use the controls to bring the ship back. Oh, and Vader's Force sense comes and goes.

Fortunately am not heavily invested in Ahsoka and think she should have died a while ago, but I also get stupidly optimistic that I might get surprised.

Yeah I'm really hoping Chopper's antics are the extent of the silly humor on this show. They've been going way overboard with that lately for some reason.

…….and little girls in the SW universe are born knowing advanced electronics,

I did not like the show one bit, and cannot even remember which part this is referring to, but a kid in the star wars universe, where robots are as common as house pets, would absolutely know some electronics. Plus she’s gotten that royal education. Even kids in our real world are great at learning that stuff.

Ahsoka looks interesting. I dont expect Sabine to be force sensitive. Just because we see her “reaching” in the trailer does not mean she’s using the force. And as we know, you do not have to be a Jedi to swing a saber. But I do find it funny how the ratio of “buncha ladies with a token dude” is considered agenda driven, when “buncha dudes with a token lady” is considered default and neutral.

I am hearing many, many complaints about Thrawn, mainly that he looks like A. Elon Musk or B. Data from Star Trek, or a combination of the two. Response: various memes about SW fans being unpleasable. Yeah, we heard you the first fifty times. Ppl are gonna complain, such is life.

Then there are those sweet summer children who are thinking that Disney is NOT gonna wreck their favorite character.

"As long as the storyline from the Thrawn books remains intact!"

"As long as they make him super imposing, Thrawn needs to strike terror and awe into one's very soul!"

"He better talk about some art, dammit."

"Thrawn is too sacred to ruin, I hope they know that if they ruin Thrawn they will TEAR MY SOUL APART!!!!!!"

Higher-ups at Disney grin evilly amongst themselves

"They better reference this, that and the other storyline from Rebels! They better not change ANY CANON!!" [inevitably spelt "cannon," fire in the hold....!]

"I wonder if Thrawn goes to art galleries on Coruscant, they better show this! We need to know more."

"I don't like his skin tone, how do they not know that his skin tone is more thalo-blue based and not Cerulean blue, also his red eyes are not glowy enough. I need orange-red not ruby-red, they better get this right!!"

..... and ten thousand other such attempts to manifest the show they want.

Meanwhile Fett fans are draped over the furniture in the nearest Bounty Hunter Guild club bar, sipping spotchka and knowing all too well what is likely to happen to these characters. We have been there, we have done that and then we had to watch Lizzo dandling baby Grogu at a tea-party. Strap in Rebels people, you are about to experience some turbulence.

Hey you forgot the best part: five year old Leia outrunning three? adult male bounty hunters.

 

[Otomofan]

One of them was Flea, right?

Obi-Wan: "I had a member of Red Hot Chili Peppers...how's that for stunt casting?"

Mando S3: "Hold my beer."

 

[Darthrazz]

This show certainly has no shortage of lightsabers in it. Seems like everyone and their brother has one now. Lol

Right? Its' almost as if Yoda could have formed a special ops team of Jedi from all corners of the galaxy, trained them on Dagobah with Obi Wan's ghost and they could have gone after Darth Vader and Palpatine. A film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.

That might have been hilarious. They could have done a riff on "u people" like Tropic Thunder - "what do u mean, a Jedi?! F-----u!" and then done a Kill Bill type fight. Innocent little Broom Boy turns out to be as savage as GoGo Yubari.

"Basic, do you speak it!" - Oh man, this movie is just writing itself.

Oooo, can't wait to see this epic face-off....

What's going on here?

What did I tell you

I cant wait until Thrawn has a conversation with his Star Destroyer command office toaster oven, or Ensign Vanto turns out to be a ten year old child onscreen. *sips tea*

 

[e30ernest]

Nah, he looks closer to Elon Musk to me.

 

[Zurdo95D]

Ah so much nerdin’ out!

 

[csutkakoma]

Everything looks great except the 2 inquisitors. Those are terrible. They didn't every tried to translate those for live action.
