Online Series: Star Wars: Ahsoka (August 23rd)

[Randy Butternubs]

Yep, I liked episode 4 more than 3. It's getting better for sure.

 

[GabeTravels]

What a freaking ending. Spectacular episode.

Spoiler

World Between Worlds at the end?! Big question is how she got there (and what Anakin is doing there!) Loved the little hint of Vader's theme at the end.

Gotta think Hera and Ahsoka (whenever/however she returns to Seatos) will follow the Purrgil to follow Sabine and company.

Sabine is a bit of a tech genius too so she might be able to send them breadcrumbs.

I've been fairly critical of the show but this is definitely the best episode so far imo.

What they could do with the next episode or episodes is absolutely Incredible.

World between worlds

Anakin

The action



20/10 episode

holy shit

 

[Sad People]

Is it Anakin or is it Vader that’s the real question….

 

[GabeTravels]

Also, the lightsaber combat was spectacular this week. Really, really enjoyed it.

Hyperspace "wake" was cool.

Spoiler

Presuming Anakin jumped in to save Ahsoka, like Ezra did? If true, I wonder when Anakin is from. He looked like he was wearing his black we see in Episode III. I can't recall if he wore the black in Clone Wars at all.

I'm definitely feeling like the Father/Son/Daughter from Mortis will be making an appearance.

 

[Power Man]

Also the inquisitor must have had that green Nightsister magic in him, like Savage Opress in TCW

Yup. It’s been awhile since I watched TCW but I think he even died the same way as Marrok did with a bunch of dust oozing out from him.

Best episode yet. Loving this series. It’s a shame the actor for Lord Baron died as he’s been the best new character imo. His scenes always have you on edge in a good way.

 

[Hivemind]

Ending was dumb as hell*, but that was definitely the best episode so far. It really wanted to be Kurosawa at times, but I'm okay with that.


*It's a continuation of one of the worst elements of Rebels, the introduction of time travel to Star Wars with the "World Between Worlds."

He's the most interesting character on the show for me personally.

If there's a season 2 and the character ends up surviving season 1, I do hope they recast. Will be hard to follow Ray's footsteps, but it will be better than discarding the character imo.

I think Ani pulled Ahsoka like Ezra pulled in Rebels when she was fighting Vader.
Then Ezra wanted to save Kansn from his death but Ahsoka convinced him not to.

Different timelines, so I think we just saw TCW Anakin

God do I love me a good lightsaber fight. Think they are really starting to dial in their use of the volume technology. Episode 4 had that cinematic look that while often strived for in live action limited series, is rarely achieved. Very solid piece of television.

Agree that Baylan is a total badass, and I don't know if this is or isn't already confirmed somewhere but I have to think this isn't a Sith situation but more of a Dark Jedi look. He's not striving for ultimate power, and really doesn't seem all that motivated by personal ambitions. Tragic about Ray Stephenson but I hope he took some solace and relished this role in a major project. Anakin showing up I assumed was going to happen but not this early. I'm starting to think that Ahsoka and Hera don't follow Sabine to another galaxy and instead prepare a response to Thrawn's return with resistance from the bureaucrats in the New Republic. Real curious to see what the dynamics are going to be with all the introduced characters and Ezra and Thrawn.

The ship designs in this series have been great. I've been enjoying the smaller group of good guys vs bad guys dynamic so far but still hoping we get a full fleet on fleet battle nearer to the climax of the season.

I think I’d rather he just get a good death. Recasts are always weird unless it’s a side character.

It's a TV streaming show. Cost to show a full fleet battle is too great. Easier to do in animation.

Hm...Ive read a bunch of good reviews all across social media, so maybe I will check this out!

Woah...

Have you seen Clone Wars/Rebels?

 

[Felidae]

I mean, since all of season 1 was filmed before Ray's death, if the character survives the season it'd be awkward story wise just killing him offscreen if there's an the upcoming season. Unless they CGI him into the 2nd season which would honestly be off putting (and costly).

I do agree replacements for main characters dont work out often. Though there have been a few instances that work out well. Spartacus comes to mind to anyone familiar with the show.

 

[RandV]

Woah...

Obvious Thrawn reveal. Still though really weird to put it into theatres, going to be a longer episode I guess?

I'm curious when the other 'dark' apprentice bit it and he leaked a bunch of black smoke, we don't necessarily know that these guys are dark side/sith but if thats the case is that something they do in the animated series or any of the other Disney+ ones when killed? OMy first thought seeing an unnamed mysterious guy that doesn't really talk in a helmet was 'oh that's probably Ezra'. Nothing wrong with it just seems unusual that they'd make a character like that and poof he's already dead after showing up in only a few scenes.

I thought it was clear it was a fallen Inquisitor that the Nightsister gal reanimated.

Then the whole plot line that allows the remnants to get to Thrawn would have been for nothing and they’d have to explain how Ezra got back to their galaxy. I think that would’ve been pretty terrible writing.

Interesting that it’ll be in some theatres. Don’t hate the idea but not for me haha. I’ll enjoy the episode from home for free.

Oh to be clear I'm mostly a blank on Clone Wars/Rebels, so it just stood out to me as a 'Chekov's Helmet' and as I have/had no idea what actually happened to Ezra my first impression was 'hey that's probably that Ezra guy'. Like the other person replying says it can just be some generic 'inquisitor', I'm just not that familiar with them either so I wouldn't pick up on that.
