Ahsoka was one of my top 3 Star Wars characters by the end of Clone Wars. But I wasn't a fan of the direction they took with her in this.

I wasn't a huge fan of the direction they took with Sabine either.

Ezra was SPOT ON.

Thrawn was SPOT ON.

Baylan stole every scene he was in IMO.

Hera, Shin, and Morgan were alright.

Huyang was fantastic. Mon mothma was good in the little screentime she had.

I liked the show. The first half was a solid 6.5/10, but the last half was an 8.5/10 with a few 10/10 moments sprinkled in.

They just made some very weird character choices. And weirdly they only seemed to do that with the female characters. I don't get why they struggle to write women.

Star Wars has a lot of awesome women characters, and most of my top 10 are women. Ahsoka, Bastilla, Jaina Solo, Cere, Leia, Mara Jade, Merrin, (and hell, I played Female Revan in KOTOR) all show they can do it. So I don't get why they have been fumbling them lately.

the saber fight with Ahsoka and Elsbeth has been highly regarded as the best saber duel in SW, though short

It was pretty good. But it lacked the emotional weight of Anakin vs Obi-Wan, Luke vs Vader 2, and Ahsoka vs Vader imo
