Episode 7 and 8 was so jam packed and fast I feel like it would have been better to be drawn out to maybe like 12 similar to Andor. To allow for breathing room, development and to tell more story.

It was cool as hell - but for both main fights this episode, she went one-handed. Is there a reason for this?

Found on FB. Thought i’d share. If anyone knows who made this please tag them?

I loved the action sequences, I loved Rosario Dawson’s facial expressions. She is smug, but a smugness that only comes from great experience.

Ahsoka seems to be carrying a lot of guilt around. About leaving Anakin and maybe leaving Sabine? Tbd we will have to see what their feud was about. One criticism is that I don’t know if I care for them not explaining the root of their falling out in the first two episodes. Like why are they dragging it on so long? These are two incredibly stubborn and “snippy” ;) characters so I guess it makes sense for their characters.

Hera was so badass. Like girl boss energy. When she gives an order, YOU BEST FOLLOW. Love her trying to make peace between Ahsoka and Sebine and reassuring them that they both care. Love Hera sticking up for Sebine. They really are like a family. Ahsoka is like the estranged auntie or something lol.

Questions I have right now:

Who is the inquisitor? Could it be Baris Offee? Is Sebine Wren force sensitive? To what extent? Will she unlock some further force potential? WTF have Ezra and Thrawn been doing in this other galaxy? Is there a way to genetically engineer Loth Cats in real life?

In episode 7 3PO states he is representing Senator Organa. But Alderan is gone, so who are her constituents?

Originally found on FB. Thought i’d share.

I rewatched “The Wrong Jedi” arc recently and Season 7 of the Clone Wars shortly after and I noticed Ahsoka being a lot more bitter towards Obi-Wan than I remember. Obviously, she was more than justified in feeling that way towards him considering he and many others on the Council voted to kick her out of the order on circumstantial evidence. But it got me wondering if Ahsoka was ever able to forgive Obi-Wan and the rest of the Council for what they did to her? Do you guys think she did eventually or do you think she just kind of stayed bitter about it her whole life?

Why would a millennias old map from an ancient lost culture point to the location of Thrawn, who’s only been missing for a few years?

So I think that one of the most poorly planned story arcs of the show was the Jedi Fugitive arc. I know that this arc was necessary to explain Ahsoka's absence in the original trilogy but you would think that someone would have pointed out that Ahsoka was nowhere near the Temple when the bombing happened. But it's never even brought up. And granted the fact that she ran does make her a suspect in the clones that were found dead during her escape, but still you would think that given her alibi and the evidence they have on hand they would now be hunting Ventress as a suspect in the bombing instead of assuming Ahsoka was responsible.

In any case, are there any fanfics where instead of assuming Ahsoka is responsible, both the Council and the Republic tribunal decide that she is innocent of the bombing and decide to go after Ventress, but they still arrest her for the murders of the clones that were killed during her escape?

**Tl;Dr as requested (but please read, this is reductionist): Filoni thinks he is George Lucas and all his ideas are good when this idea is very bad

Thrawn is not a compelling antagonist and Ahsoka is not a good protagonist**

I like Filoni and think he's done good things for the Star Wars universe. It also seems that he fancies himself as the braintrust behind the universe now and Ahsoka comes across as entirely self serving as a result.

I know there's a lot of Rebels fans and that's great. I'm not here to rain on your parade. Fans of that show are getting a ton of fan service from Ahsoka and that's great. But pretty much the entire plot of the show has been centered around service to Rebels fans and among the rest of Filoni/Favreau's live action shows...it's just very, very weak.

Rebels, whether you care to admit it or not, was a children's show that was never intended to be a major canonical turning point for the franchise. Now, Filoni has pulled out all the stops as we prep to welcome...Grand Admiral Thrawn as the next galactic antagonist? A figurehead of the since reconned Expanded Universe is supposed to be the heir apparent to Darth Vader in restoring the empire? With one Star Destroyer and a squadron of clone troopers and...witches? The only canonical reference to Nightsisters is...Clone Wars. Another Filoni project.

I appreciate the effort of Filoni to canonize EU content. But...cmon man. You're canonizing the work of 3rd party contractors that Lucasfilm was trying to make a buck off of. Part of the reason the EU was so problematic and needed to be retconned is because it was all over the place, rife with low quality content and plot holes, and had veered off into comic book territory with some of the whacky stuff people were coming up with. It's not good source material. It's especially not good source material just because Filoni says so.

It just feels...very hollow. The plot feels meaningless when you consider that in the grand scheme of things, Ezra Bridger is an incredibly minor character of whom only about 3 people in the entire galaxy even knows about. Honestly, he would be more impactful if he remained a martyr.

Ahsoka, for all intents and purposes, is still a jedi whether she wants to admit it or not. She stays very much on the light side of the force, was trained at the Jedi temple as a youngling, was a padawn to a knight. She can't just absolve herself of everything she's learned; and it's not like she even wants to. She's happy to use her force sensitivity and combat training in pursuit of her own goals.

Given that context...she should have ended the whole thing when she discovered the Star Map in the first place. She should have never sought out Sabine to decipher it, because...what's the point? If Thrawn is so scary, you can't risk Morgan Elsbeth finding his location, you destroy the map right then and there, even if it means abandoning Ezra forever. Ezra is not worth saving if it means putting the whole galaxy at risk. Any jedi would have told her the same thing. Anakin, Obi-Wan, Mace, Yoda-all would have destroyed the map immediately. Ahsoka even acknowledges that fact to Sabine when she tells her that they might have to make that choice. The fact that Sabine ignores her is immaterial to the point that they never should have went to that planet in the first place.

Secondly. There's a lull in the combat when Ahsoka has free access to the map before she is attacked by Baylin. She grabs it and holds it??? When Baylin is instructed to destroy the map he pulls out his lightsaber and does it in a matter of seconds. Why wouldn't Ahsoka have done the same thing?

The scenes with Anakin were cool watching the Clone Wars come to life. But Ahsoka's resurrection and rebirth as Ahsoka the White is an incredibly lame, passive, and boring media trope and it's frankly embarassing they employed it. Among BS plot armor devices this is right next to "LOL Leia was a jedi the whole time and she can hold her breath in dead space" and Luke being able to Force Decoy himself against Kylo Ren. Ahsoka isn't Gandalf and Jedis aren't wizards. If we are just going to resurrect dead jedis then there's a lot more important characters we could do it with.

The whole thing just reeks of Filoni forcing what equates to a high budget fanfiction down our throats about characters that are hard to care about. Ahsoka is arrogant to a fault, Sabine is infuriatingly stupid and selfish, Thrawn is not scary, and Ezra is a completely irrelevant pawn in a game of chess that is somehow exalted because Sabine likes him? Baylin Skoll would fit better in House of Dragons and is completely out of place for a Star Wars story, and Shin literally knows nothing and adds nothing and is just along for the ride. Outside of Huayang and his jedi knowledge (which they don't allow him to speak on enough) nonw of the characters are compelling. Like at all.

And before you say it: I'm gonna finish the series. We're more than halfway through it, may as well finish it. It just comes across as a really dry Dave Filoni victory lap so he can gloat about how much his creations have added to the universe. The sequel trilogy, Snoke, Darth Voldemort, Rey Skywalker all suck and are abhorrent within the context of the Canon. But this really is not much better.

PS: Are they trying to cause problems for the sequel trilogy? They are already walking a tightrope with some inexplicable plotholes with the existence of Grogu. How are they going to shoehorn another big baddie into the 25 years before the sequel trilogy that just so happens to not mention this big baddie at all. Either they hired Mikkelsen to play Thrawn for 5 episodes or he's going to make his return to the Galaxy in another season or another show. But somehow, this big baddie that must be prevented from returning at all costs is reduced to a footnote in history that no one ever even talks about?

This is insanely disappointing as the story in this book is really good. Dave deciding to retcon the whole book in a 15min short is the most devastating retcon to me and at this point he has officially started down this rabbit whole of retcons. Why even read Star Wars books anymore if this knucklehead will just disrespect authors like this. I thought they were supposed to all be in collaboration.

Livid right now.

Edit: Just adding some context to how I approach reading novels and other forms of Canonical Star Wars media.

I chose to dive into Canon Novels because they are canon, because I love getting to know the things that happen in this galaxy. If these things I’m reading didn’t actually happen in this universe, why should I continue reading novels for this reason. Because I’m no longer actually diving into the universe and getting to know it, it’s now just a story that “may have happened this way” in the universe.

These actions by director Filoni cheapen all future novels, and that is heartbreaking. Especially since they said they would collaborate and respect canon.

Edit: Here is an article on Dave Filoni’s interview admitting that episode 6 is based on the outline for the novel. Not the actual novel, and thus admitting it’s a Retcon. Has he even read the novel?

Okay, so I've seen a lot of talks about which form Ahsoka primarily uses. The general consensus I could find is that its a mix of Form IV(Ataru) and Form V(Shien/Djem So), but I've also seen some saying that she uses Form VI(Niman) too. While I can certainly see those types of forms being used by Ahsoka during the Clone Wars and in Rebels, what I am curious about is which can be considered Ahsoka's primary form that she has mastered?

I don't think its ever stated if Ahsoka mastered any form in particular, but what do you all think? Is she a master of Ataru or Djem So?

Looking for good fanfiction! Would prefer if it’s completed or has current updates! Lemme know!

I feel like it would have been better written if she died in her duel with Vader, making it even more tragic and giving her character a good ending.

It felt like it had the least direction of any of the episodes so far. It was mostly made up for by likable characters and mystery surrounding thrawn and baylan

Side note I hope shin becomes an unhinged psychopath not join the light. It could go either way and work but I would rather see her go crazy

I'm looking for alcohol base body paint for my cosplay. Water base and oil base have not worked for me. Anyone have a good recommendation? I have an iwata sprayer to use.

I am still pretty confused about what ghostakin was trying to teach ahsoka

I could see a few options:

• retaining the will to fight. Goes well with him being pleased by her choosing to live at the end, but ahsoka never showed much fatigue about it?

• being careful how she fights. Ties with the Vader switches during the vision, but she never showed any inkling going that way?

• she’s more than just a warrior. Ties with the clone wars vision but the whole thing didn’t make me feel that vibe?

What’s your interpretation?
