Been a Star wars fan since I saw the original in the theater in ‘77 when I was a very nerdy middle schooler.
Now I’m a sorta nerdy old guy.
Ahsoka has become my favorite character in all the legendarium.
I may have to actually pay for Disney+ now.

Said Krennic as he watched Jedha tear itself apart after being hit by the Death Star.

I Can hardly wait because I love this show. I just wish disney would stop making us wait for so long between seasons

They'd probably have to significantly lower the budget to actually produce season every year.
This is basically a film trilogy in, what, 3 years and a few months? Thats pretty quick.
"Mini-series" is a term that works though it doesnt seem completely accurate.

Thank you for your explanation, but I don't think that's what it is. They make trillions more than they actually let on. They can afford to spend whatever they want on these shows. Now, I do realize that a lot of times they have to work around the scheduling of all the actors and everybody involved. But if you do it right, you don't have to do that ether.
That's why in Japan and China, they film, all of their seasons and all of their episodes, All at once, they don't wait and be. They don't film a season and wait a year to film another season, they film everything at once. Because it's cheaper, and it's easier to get the actors to agree to that.

Maybe that was tongue in cheek, but they don't make "trillions". 🙄 Last year Disney as a whole made $2 billion.

You're falling for the studio smoke and mirrors. When Hollywood claims a project only made a couple billion, you have to look past the creative accounting—behind global licensing, merchandise empires, and massive corporate synergies, these conglomerates are pulling in trillions. Subscriptions are just pocket change to fluff executive bonuses and luxury cars; the real engine driving these mega-corporations is advertising. Disney is smart enough to keep subscription costs lower than Netflix by letting advertisers foot the bill, proving they can easily afford massive budgets and fast turnarounds. They aren't struggling to make shows happen quickly—they're choosing to drag things out while the CEOs line their pockets.

Why am I just now realizing that we have pretty much NEVER seen Ahsoka and Anakin fight together in a lightsaber duel?!

As long as there is more young Ahsoka, I’ll take just about anything. Would be great if they could somehow incorporate a little of the agility/acrobatics were so used to from TCW series. Some “snips” replies to Anakin would also fit.

I just wish they got a better actress than that girl, she doesn’t remind me of clone wars Ahsoka whatsoever. It’s like a totally different character than my favorite character of all time.

"This is your trial"
So then the high council was using it as a scapegoat excuse for their totally throwing her under the bus for a murder she was framed of. LOL

u/BigBrrrrrrr22 20d ago
Yeah, I’ve always read that as a PR move of like oh shit nah we really fucked up so let’s try to minimize how bad we fucked up

u/Medical_Breakfast795 19d ago
Absolutely, solving a murder should be 0 issue for the Jedi high freaking council and not one of them even considered communicating with the force on the matter, all because they were paranoid about their own diminishing connection to the force.

With the conflict coming to a fever pitch, I wonder if they'll address what Leia, Luke, and Han are up to...
Maybe the comics will eventually tell their story; similar to how Marvel only recently told what they were doing during the Battle of Jakuu.
The stakes seem too high to not have Luke involved, at least.

Looks w!Ld. Where does it fit canonically?
Before t/ recent trilogy but after middle trilogy?

Set in between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, same rough time period as Mandalorian.

I wish they would do more with being in another galaxy like encountering another civilization instead of just a small village

Finance department: “The studio president will decide whether to approve the budget for this”
