I was so distracted by Hayden’s accent in this episode. He just sounded so very Canadian to me. I kept expecting him to bust out a “gently caress you, Shoresy!”

If they make that a thing and just briefly tease that situation before jumping the hell out of there, that'd fully make my book fan heart soar.

For reals, just a joy to watch him whip that thing around, it made me want to see more of him and the kid having (grim, harrowing battlefield) adventures, they were great together.

No Mods No Masters posted:I don't know if disney can really do the yuuzhan vong, if they worked at all (highly arguable) it was by being so ridiculously grimdark and miserable on such a massive scale and getting so many devastating Ws on the heroes that beating them in the end was satisfying. Yuuzhan Vong were more like space WW2 on the eastern front. I wouldn't be against a Star Wars take on Come and See, but not from Filoni.

I don't need the purpose of the stormtroopers' belt pouches explained, but just once I'd like to see someone take a ration bar or whatever out of them. How often has that happened onscreen?

I kept expecting him to bust out a “gently caress you, Shoresy!” Yeah, in terms of Hayden sounding different it's about 5% age and 95% no longer suppressing his accent. Gonz posted:Hayden Christensen, 20 years after the fact, remains obscenely skilled with regards to lightsaber combat choreography. I can't say whether making regular actors get incredibly skilled at fight choreography is a worthy use of a production's time, but especially now when the Disney-a-tron 5000 can clumsily paste people's faces onto each other, it's really neat to get the actors actually hitting each other with sticks. The worst lightsaber fight in the series is by far Yoda and the Emperor in ROTS, both because it's completely unnecessary and because it's the least grounded in actual performers.

How important is watching Rebels to watching Ahsoka? I've seen a good portion of Clone Wars, and am currently catching up with the Mandalorian.

I'm not the first person to make this observation, but while the flashback/Hayden stuff was cool in vacuum, I don't really understand what's being resolved for Ahsoka, and so far I see very little discernible difference between Ahsoka the White and Ahsoka of the First 4.5 Episodes. I also found myself wondering how Ahsoka or Hera hear anything with such heavy headgear covering their ears. Are their ears canonically somewhere other than the sides of their heads? Both look like they're ready to go to the firing range. General Dog fucked around with this message at 21:35 on Sep 14, 2023 |

Those guys in the Mandalorian talking about red vs yellow, Leia sharing a Nutty Buddy with an Ewok, Yoda stealing another Nutty Buddy from Luke, and (presumably) Rey's insta-muffin are all the rations I can think of

You don’t even know they exist because you’re not a die hard Star Wars fan who lives for the lore If you watch the trailers none of it says it’s a sequel to the cartoon Disney show rebels. The only reason you know that is you know the cartoons. So can we drop this. This show should be able stand on its own and it really doesn’t imO

That person was asking a question because they are familiar with the cartoons and want to know if they should finish watching them and Mando before watching Ahsoka, and then got given right answer? Why are you so mad at that answer lol.

Mad no, annoyed yeah. I’ve just seen that post so many times and I wish it would stop. The show should be able to stand on its own and it’s really frustrating that some of the criticism gets thrown out for people to say “it’s a sequel your fault for not watching the cartoons!”

It does stand on it's own, I hope that helps. My GF hasn't watched a single episode of Rebels and the show did a good job of explaining who everyone is and was and why they're important and why she should care about them.

As for the difference between pre- and post-flashback Ahsoka, I don't mean to be pedantic, but all we've seen her do since donning a white poncho is wake up, hug a kid and telepathically communicate with a titanic space whale in the span of maybe 10 minutes of screentime. I think it's a little early to draw any conclusions here.

It doesn’t for me but that’s fair. I can take that back but I’d like to not see the “it was advertised” “it was marketed” argument made against because it wasn’t really if you just watch the trailers.

Personally I just don't think disney marketing can or should be allowed to set the parameters for "legitimate" criticism of a thing. Someone said the other day by way of analogy it would be ridiculous to criticize return of the king without watching the previous two films. But would it really? A critical view that looks at a single movie in a trilogy in a vacuum can have value too, maybe bring some interesting perspectives, and I think most people would be able to see good qualities in it even not having the full context

So far, if anything, the Clone Wars show seems more important to understanding what's going on in Ahsoka. 2 of the 3 main characters are in it while Ahsoka is barely in Rebels.
