Also a fallacy I frequently fall into, that I need to get better at. Filoni is only as good as the people he works with, maybe they should bring in the writing and like visual development team behind Rebels/Clone wars/Bad Batch to help support him lol. Speaking of, Kiner and or Britell(Andor) should be doing the music for all future star wars projects. Filoni bringing Kiner with him to Ahsoka was his best decision on this show.

I'm sure if you're filoni you run the risk of getting a big head- probably has been ever since george was going around saying he was the favorite son. Very easy from that position to start shaking off collaborators who were "holding you back" all along, especially in the writing domain. I'm not saying that's definitely what's going on here, but it does kind of have that feel

That's fine if you don't think the writing is good, but the whole creating a fanfiction about how he thinks he's being held back and doesn't like the other people he's worked with or whatever that bullshit was is like I said some weirdo poo poo.

But I think I couched it as speculation from the get go, you're the one who read confidence and character judgment into it. It's just a hollywood trend as old as, well, hollywood

Didn't somebody make a gif or clip of that scene in Obi-Wan when he's running around in the county landfill or whatever and he just runs away from Vader offscreen and randomly emerges from the same direction he left, making it look like he came back because he forgot something? edit: found it  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2J7nWWs58N0

mycot posted:Edit: for the record I think it's a bad sign when threads turn to nitpicky debates like this because that usually means the show itself is just not that interesting. Nobody would care about details like this if they were being wowed away by the rest. You see that in the Modern Star Trek thread. When Discovery or Picard is on, the thread is 100% nitpicking and general complaining about quality. Then SNW comes on and it turns into discussions about character growth and the themes the show is trying to portray. It's like slicing a switch. Then Lower Decks comes on and it's Moopsy, Moopsy, Moopsy.

As a non-Rebels watcher I think Sabine is like The Worse. She’s completely incapable and incompetent at what she does, which the show both shows and tells me with the robut saying she’s the worse student ever. She’s also emotionally compromised and is one of those “I’ll let the whole world burn to get my one true love” characters it seems. When she told Ahsoka to go and that she’s got this when she was fighting the zoomer sith I started laughing because not once has the show shown her capable of standing up to a jedi lol. She should have fought the no named guy that Ahsoka killed and let Ahsoka fight the zoomer. Also what’s the deal with traveling between galaxies? I legit thought star wars already happened/took place between different galaxies but now I’m finding out it all happens in just 1? Really?

mycot posted:Also this is the same series that had, like, 8 year old Anakin pilot a ship in a battle as a joke and not even treated as one of the traumatic aspects of his childhood. That's largely a function because the people who are watching it are just like, oh that's a fun/bad/mid episode of an action adventure show that like you said isn't particularly revolutionary or interesting, they watch it feel how they feel and go about their lives, maybe saying man the dialog pacing in this show is real off. Meanwhile the posters who hate it go full cinema sins over the dumbest poo poo because they hate it and have to catalog all of the ways they hate it, some of reasons are fair, others like the Jacen stuff, is just extremely stupid. The posters who like it or those just are cursed to forever be trapped in the cycle of posting are then the ones forced to say "that one specific reason you hate this is real loving stupid", and that goes on and on and gets worse and worse until the next episode of the average show actually airs, and then that cycle repeats.

Boris Galerkin posted:Also what’s the deal with traveling between galaxies? I legit thought star wars already happened/took place between different galaxies but now I’m finding out it all happens in just 1? Really? Closest Star Wars has had to two galaxies is the Rishi Maze, which Kamino is 12 parsecs from (There's also the Rishi Station on the Rishi Moon from TCW's Rookies episode)  In Legends, the shot from Empire Strikes Back where they're looking at the Galaxy means that the Rebels traveled to the Rishi Maze as well (plus, extragalactic travel was possible as seen with the Outbound Flight project, despite its ultimate failure) It's honestly kinda bizarre how barely anything from canon or legends actually made use of it though

I don't really have a problem with sabine being a dingus. It's a very healthy counterforce in a show where there is such an obvious fawning attachment to the characters and hopefully it will mean she actually has an arc of becoming less of a dingus by the end. Of course is it is getting a little comical anyone ever trusts her yes

It's a bit weird because her character from Rebels was brash but pretty competent (maybe a bit too competent at times but overshadowed by Special Boy Ezra) but apparently she forgot all her Weapon Proficiency in the missing years. She's basically become the Zeb of the group lol

Most skills are quite perishable if you don’t keep them up. I’ve never understood that as a nitpick.

koolkal posted:It's a bit weird because her character from Rebels was brash but pretty competent (maybe a bit too competent at times but overshadowed by Special Boy Ezra) but apparently she forgot all her Weapon Proficiency in the missing years. I mean, she was competent enough to fight other Mando's and storm troopers. Any time she faced a force user she got washed lol, except when she had her big character moment against Kanan, and she managed to trick Ezra with some Mando tech once. But they were very much not in go mode. So the thing with Sabine in Ahsoka, is that she seemingly lost loving literally everyone she cared for. Clan Wren seemingly got welped in the Mando genocide. Ezra her close friend died. Hera is off being an New Republic General. She's mad at Ahsoka for abandoning her, after not letting her go try and do something to help the Mando's who were getting wiped out by the Empire. She's someone who's been wallowing in their own depression with no one who she holds like a close connection with outside of technically Hera being remotely emotionally available for the past XX years.

Marsupial Ape posted:Most skills are quite perishable if you don’t keep them up. I’ve never understood that as a nitpick. Well in my case I have no idea who Sabine is, but the fact is that she’s introduced to me as a main character so based on every other show I have to assume that that means she’s a well trained asset. So far the show has shown me she’s incompetent and told me as much as well. It’s not nitpicking it’s more “wait she’s a main character but how come she’s so bad why are we wasting time with her?” Burning_Monk posted:"A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." Yeah but I kinda assumed with everything else possible in Star Wars that jumping between galaxies was like getting in a car and driving to Taco Bell on the other side of town.

By all that perishable skills logic ahsoka should probably also be more rusty than she's being depicted as, though she does seem to lose a decent amount in the end in practice. Again I have no problem with that and if anything they should lean into it more, it might actually give things some tension
