June 8, 20232 yr I don’t think MEW is any odder a choice than Rosario Dawson. I would have preferred unknown actors for both. I worry that they are propping up a weak story with famous names.

IIRC, she wields Ezra's lightsaber against Gar Saxon to win the darksaber in single combat so she canonically can use a laser sword pretty well

Yeah I don't get the whole "I don't want to watch cartoons" thing. Good stories are good stories. None of the live action stuff is "real" anyway. The CGI or other visual effects used are basically making them live action "cartoons" so what's the difference?
June 13, 20232 yr The difference is that surly is full of contrarion assholes. Edited June 13, 20232 yr by MissingInAction This

I’d watch an animated series (maybe miniseries) of Shadows. That book was really great.
July 11, 20232 yr I am telling you and I have never been more certain that this will absolutely kick ass. This is Filoni’s baby and he will ensure it won’t suck

July 11, 20232 yr Author Well holy shit. I was expecting a lot, and I think that surpasses it. Does Sabine have For e sensitivity? Glad they showed her cut her hair. Was there another mandalorian in there?
July 11, 20232 yr Yeah, is Sabine force sensitive now? Also now I'm even more sad that Ray Stevenson passed away, his character looks full of menace and mystery. Edited July 11, 20232 yr by YChang
July 11, 20232 yr Based on y’all’s reactions I’m not watching that trailer. I want to be surprised. Please don’t suck please don’t suck please don’t suck…

July 12, 20232 yr It will suck the way that anonymous trans person sucked in boys town.Username…..has me confused here……
July 12, 20232 yr I have Star Wars fatigue after the last Mandalorian season but that may bring me back. Looks awesome.
July 12, 20232 yr Ahsoka looks basically like season 5 of Rebels. Can't recommend that show enough, I wrote it off as a kids show initially (and some of the first couple seasons are), but holy shit that show is tapped into what makes Star Wars Star Wars. You really should watch it before Ahsoka if you have the screentime, it fills in a bunch of key Mandalorian backstory as well Spoiler And did anyone else catch Thrawn name-dropping "Heir to the Empire"??

July 12, 20232 yr Just a story I heard once. Can't wait for this show to start Edited July 12, 20232 yr by MissingInAction
July 12, 20232 yr I know some of us sound like broken records on this topic but: yes you should watch Clone Wars (use the episode guide so you know what to skip) and Rebels (all of it) before this comes out. I still don’t love the choice of actor to play Ahsoka, but I love the Ahsoka character. She’s right up there with the OT crew for me. Rebels has some great characters too, quite a few of which will feature prominently in this show.

I don't think so. Or at least I hope not. I'm guessing that "master" line was more a reference of Ashoka continuing to help train Sabine as a warrior in the same way Kanan was training her with the darksaber? And in the trailer the hot dark jedi (or whatever) chick says, "You have no power..." So maybe wishful thinking but I really hope she's not force sensitive. It just gets old being like, "oh wait! That person has the force now!" I have more faith in Filoni than that, so here's to hoping. 35 minutes ago, Buzzrock said: I know some of us sound like broken records on this topic but: yes you should watch Clone Wars (use the episode guide so you know what to skip) and Rebels (all of it) before this comes out.

I'm sure the show would be enjoyable for someone who hadn't seen those shows, but it's going to be WAY more enjoyable if you have seen them.
July 12, 20232 yr Honestly some of the clone wars episodes are weaker than the rest or involve stupid droids but if you like Star Wars you can watch them at least once and its just 23+ minutes of your life

I'm sure the show would be enjoyable for someone who hadn't seen those shows, but it's going to be WAY more enjoyable if you have seen them. Yes and yes. If someone started watching The Sopranos in season five or Mad Men at the start of season seven, would they have found it enjoyable? Yes. Would said person have missed out on a shit ton of nuance, depth of character development, and payoff of previous storylines? Also without a doubt. Disney+ even has an "Ahsoka Essential Episodes" that cuts the list down even further. But just find a good Clone Wars guide and watch all of Rebels.
July 12, 20232 yr I don't think you can have any appreciation of who Ahsoka is without knowing her story.
July 13, 20232 yr 18 hours ago, Michael Knight said: I don't think you can have any appreciation of who Ahsoka is without knowing her story. Agreed. I will say there are a lot of Star Wars YouTubers who have put together good summaries of Ahsoka's plot lines through CW and Rebels. I feel like people should definitely watch those at a bare minimum if they don't want to watch those series. But I really think Rebels is almost required watching, given that that Ashoka series is essentially setting up to be a live action new season of Rebels.
July 13, 20232 yr Ray Stevenson's cause of death still unknown? I totally missed that back in May. Damn shame, I wanted him to do an older Reacher movie kinda like the Frank Miller Dark Knight returns business

And yeah it's weird to include that as a recommendation and not the actual canon Thrawn books that Zahn wrote.

Most of the character features of Thrawn were canonized in Rebels already - right down to the Noghri assasin and strategy-through-art. Considering that palps gets cloned in the sequel trilogy, and what we've seen in Mando, and what the core plot of Heir to the Empire is... Spoiler A cloned Jedi gone mad manufacturing his own clone army that is coopted by Thrawn Ahsoka could be the realization of all those old paperback novels, but in a good way (I hope)
