Star Wars: Ahsoka

[DarkChocobi]

Those zombified stormtroopers rushing through the gate after it was cut in half had me nearly die with laughing. Seriously, another stupid plot hole.

 

[Sassafras]

It was either that or take the gear off and have to come out in his Underoos.

Even though there were obvious logical reasons for him not to come out wearing stormtrooper gear (including helmet - as if anyone in the audience didn't already know who it was), this was just another one of the billion winks Filoni was giving his animated fans because they know Ezra was seen in Imperial/trooper uniforms a bunch of times throughout that show.

Any chance he gets to make people go, "Ooh, they're doing that thing that we remember from the cartoon!" he won't pass up.

Is Andor 2 here yet?

You mean like the whole "the Force is my ally" so we can stuff some Yoda callback in there wink wink, then Ezra is gonna
meet baby Yoda down the road and make some comment about meeting Grogu's Daddy in a temple....I bet Ezra is able to steal a shuttle because he floated away with the garbage.

Overall for me it was lavish and Rebels fan service. Sort of like the Boba Fett finale. Stuffed with stuff that may or may not land or make sense. Boba wins tho coz of Fennec and the badass bro moments plus you got a Rancour biting a head off.

Anakin's ghost: "I literally came all the way out here so I could smile when you said Ahsoka Skywalker but okay, wandering off in the opposite direction works too I guess."

 

[Khev]

And Ezra wearing full trooper armor with helmet on a republic cruiser is he ******** lol

They should have had a scene with Ezra in the cockpit with a little co-pilot droid and he tells it "oh man, they're gonna totally think I'm a Stormtrooper and it'll be so hilarious when I take off my helmet and they realize it's me..." and then when he comes down the ramp Hera gives the order for all the New Republic troops to open fire and they absolutely obliterate him. She says "I can't believe they thought we'd be dumb enough to fall for that trick again" and then turns and leaves the hangar.

Cut to Sabine telling Ahsoka that being stranded in another galaxy was worth it since they were able to send Ezra home. End credits.

So... was this a good show or a bad show?

How was Thrawn?

 

[jaztermareal]

Aside from what we thought of the writing, the acting, the plots, etc. I think we can all agree on one thing...the real winner here is Hot Toys, they're going to fire up those old Stormtroopers molds and make 62 different figures.

Well, if HT was so inclined, they could do:

Imperial remnant:
Night troopers (maybe 3 versions to cover the overall looks, maybe a single release and a 2 pack)
Captain Enoch
Night deathtroopers (deadtrooper)
Night tie pilot
Marrok
And of course Thrawn.

Then for Republic troopers in flashbacks:
Regular phase 1 clone
501st phase 1 clone
Captain Rex phase 1
Regular phase 2 clone
Regular phase 2 clone variant (back box painted)
332nd phase 2 clone
501st phase 2 clone
Captain Rex phase 2

Just a couple troopers there for them to choose from.


Realistically though I expect 1 night trooper, Captain Enoch and maybe a deadtrooper as far as trooper figures go. Thrawn is a given though.

Both.

Good if you like mysticism, Filoni-isms, lightsaber go brrrrr and bang bang explosiony-ness


Bad if you enjoy good writing or logic or hate repeated scenes of people standing around staring into the distance/crossing their arms as a substitute for personality.


In all honesty, it is not BAD, it has much less cringe than BOBF, Kenobi or Mando s3, it is simply shallow. Style over substance. It is the dumb but pretty half of Star Wars. Visually nice just... basically fast food

 

[jaztermareal]

The real question is this: which was Thicc-er: Heras dump truck or Blue Elon's waist line.

You took the time to give a proper answer. I was on the running machine so one word replies were easier.

I liked the ideas and visuals, but it's Star Wars so plot holes are a given

I don't like Rosario's smug and smirking portrayal of Ahsoka, and Thrawn was underwhelming in character and physicality.

Baylan and Shin were the most interesting characters. I think there's something going on between Sabine and Shin.

I would pay to watch that in 4k. But only if Ahsoka is coaching them.

 

[greymask]

If I was Filoni, after Ghost anakin appear I will pan the camera away and show another force ghost of MACE WINDU, looks battered and without hand!! With SLJ eyes about to pop out trademark.
Such a missed opportunity.....

Thrawn aside it was very entertaining, very SW and most importantly the lightsaber battles were of INSANELY high quality, Ahsoka had a spectacular design, Shin and Baylan were cool and the music was wonderful.

Thrawn is a super genius he’ll keep repeating how he is one step ahead of Ahsoka all of the time just to remind agp lol

This Thrawn just might turn agp into a darthkostis/victor.

 

[Bacara]

I prefer the phrase cuddly

Overall the show was good. It felt like Star Wars but should have been called Rebels Season 5

Season 2 filming's already started.

Rumour is that it's a love/hate Sabine and Shin buddy movie.

I do prefer the Thrawn/Witch combo as a galactic threat over the First Order.

I think Thrawn might be hiding in her bed, they should go look. And be thorough with the search. For 12 one hour episodes

More or less anything is better than the First Order

I think that the friendship between Thrawn and the Witches will not last very long after he sacrificed their sister and obliterated their temple.

Yeah , Thrawn has always seen people as pawns, on a board ......

Unless they are in direct striking distance, hes un moved by them.
