TheInfernoman Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 Watched ep 1 too Spoiler I hope they explain when Sabine began to wield a saber. Feels off to me but she did have for a hot min the darksaber. Ahsoka here is a bit more...serious and that's fine but I do miss a smidge of her "snips" self. Now moving onto ep 2 as I type this.

Well...(don't read until after Episode 2) Spoiler Kanan taught her how to use a light saber in Rebels and the lightsaber she has is Ezra's. He left it behind before his confrontation with Thrawn. It's weird to me that Sabine is Ahsoka's padawan. She isn't force sensitive. The droid, who' name escapes me at the moment, even says she's the least force sensitive Padawan he's ever seen. Sabine is a Mandalorian, she can handle herself in combat. Not sure why they went with the forceless Padawan angle. I'm curious to see how it plays out. As for the show. The production value seems high, unlike Obi Wan... Ahsoka is a little too stoic to me. In the Mandalorian, she more mature than she was in Rebels but with a hint of younger personality. That's missing here which is strange because its the same time frame. Ray Stevenson as Baylan Skoll, and Ivanna Sakhno as his apprentice Shin Hati were standouts. RIP Ray Stevenson Mary Elizabeth Winstead's Hera is going to take some getting used too. Not sure why Vanessa Marshall couldn't have gotten the role like Katee Sackhoff did with Bo'Katan Sabine seemed a little too much like her character on Rebels. She's around 30 now but seem to act like a teenager. As someone that watched Rebels it's a gift and a curse. I know the characters and events but I'm also used to them being portrayed by other actors.

He says and I'm paraphrasing "You are the least Force Sensitive Padawan I've ever seen." The trailer for Ashoka has Sabine fighting Shin Hati. Hati tells her "You have no power."

If that is what they are doing it will be a massive L. Sabine is near 30. She's been around Jedi for significant amount of time as she grew up. Hell she lived in close proximity with Kanan and Ezra for several years. Kanan trained her on how to use a lightsaber, any force sensitivity she had would have bee noticed. More over she's been around a droid that's sole purpose was to train Younglings and had mentioned directly her lack of ability with the force. I really hope Filoni doesn't go with this unnecessary ass pull. TheInfernoman and Hecatom 2 Quote Link to comment

Agreed. This isn't someone else writing the characters. Filoni has been in charge of these characters since their inception. Part of the reason his characters have been so well received over the years is he's held a tight reign on them. This allowed his characters to have a consistency that others lacked in the transition from Lucas to Disney. No one had to interpret, if they even bothered to try, what they though the creator would do with them, because the creator has always been in control of them. I don't know if this has changed but previously, using his characters required his approval. Edited August 25, 2023 by Darc_Requiem TheInfernoman and Hecatom 2 Quote Link to comment

I do feel that so far is way better than anything from Bobba Fett, Obi Wan and Mando Season 3.

Darc_Requiem Posted August 31, 2023 Author Share Posted August 31, 2023 Yeah that scene. Spoiler There was so much wrong with that scene it isn't funny. Deflecting ship fire with a light saber. Their dead in the water and they just fire at Ahsoka. They could have just come to a full stop an obliterated her ship. Not to mention the number of hits the ship took on the way to the hyperspace ring. And the pacing is Dragon Ball Z levels of slow. It's three episoes in and the events we've seen could have easily been done in two. I hope I'm wrong but I just get the feeling that we'll get to the last couple of episodes of the season, they'll run out of time, and jam a bunch of events into them. When they've squandered so much of the run time in the first three episodes. TheInfernoman 1 Quote Link to comment

Darc_Requiem Posted September 1, 2023 Author Share Posted September 1, 2023 (edited) I like world building as well. Last thing I want to watch is some speed run nonsense like the last season of Game of Thrones. Ahsoka, as far as pacing goes, gives me old school Dragon Ball Z vibes or to be less hyperbolic, it seems paced like a 22 episode television season. Which isn't good when your season is a third as long. It just have a bad feeling they are going to slow play everything only to have the last two episodes be chock full of events that get blitzed by due to lack of time. I agree that we need more of Baylan Skoll and Shin Hati. Those two along with Huyang are the strength of the show for me. Although I feel episode 3 was Sabine's best episode.

Jion_Wansu Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Since they have Thrawn from the Extended Universe/Expanded Universe/Star Wars Legends from the books, it'll be nice if they introduce more of the books. How about The Lost Tribe Of The Sith and The One Sith: Quote The duel at the Lake of Apparitions was a battle between Jedi Grand Master Luke Skywalker, Dark Lord of the Sith Darth Krayt, and the dark side entity Abeloth that occurred on Abeloth's planet in the year 44 ABY. Quote There aren't many things that can bring the Jedi and Sith together, but an eldritch horror in Star Wars Legends was one of the few that could. Quote Spoiler So, it says a lot about the Force entity Abeloth that the Sith were willing to team up with the Jedi in Star Wars: Fate of the Jedi in order to bring her down. Debuting in 2009 with Outcast, the nine-book series focused on Luke Skywalker's journey to stop the Force entity Abeloth, who began rampaging through the galaxy in an attempt to bring chaos to the cosmos, and become a true God of the Force. Her powers enabled her to accomplish feats that previously had never been seen, such as inducing psychosis in several Jedi to make them believe everyone they knew was an imposter. She also fed on despair and fear, which explained why she caused so much destruction and conflict. That, combined with her ability to inhabit more than one body at a time, made killing her nearly impossible. During this time there were 2 sith orders in existense and don't know if they have interacted with each other or not: Quote Spoiler Unfortunately for the Sith Order, it soon became clear the Lost Tribe was way over its head, as Abeloth revealed herself to be far more powerful than any Sith or Jedi. She single-handedly destroyed the capital of the Lost Tribe and eventually converted much of the Tribe to be her minions, either through brainwashing or intimidation. However, that was a lie perpetuated by the Lost Tribe, whose real plan was to find a way to study and control Abeloth. Of course, the Lost Tribe weren't the only Sith out there, as Darth Krayt, the leader of the One Sith from the Star Wars: Legacy comics, also became aware of Abeloth's existence. Unlike the Lost Tribe, Krayt understood how dangerous of a threat she was. Risking the exposure of himself and his One Sith order, Krayt aided Luke and the Jedi in ensuring Abeloth was no longer a direct threat. That was accomplished by three of her separate bodies being killed at the same time by different groups. Quote Link to comment

Hecatom Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 Well... I didn't like this episode 😕 The only things that I liked are the scenes with Baylan since it gave him more characterization. Spoiler For starters, I still don't like that Sabine is written as if she is as mature as a teenager. One thing is to be impulsive, and another is to be an absolute moron. She decides to allow herself to be captured to try to find Ezra, then proceeds to wander on an unknown planet to try to find him. And then what? The only reason why she found him is due contrivance. I understand that they are very likely trying to lightening the mood, but it felt badly written to some extent, due how Sabine is characterized and how convenient everything went for her. Also, this Thrawn feels bad man. he really looks like alien Elon Musk with the dad body type and all, lol Darc_Requiem and TheInfernoman 1 1 Quote Link to comment

Spoiler Thrawn calls her out on risking her galaxy for the off chance of finding Ezra and she couldn't even muster any sort of response. Which makes it worse, because it shows she knows it was a dumb decision. Ezra says. "Can't wait to get back home." and Sabine has a "Oh shit, I didn't' think that far ahead" look on her face. 😒 As for Thrawn, if they didn't want to get him on some sort of workout program to slim down, couldn't they put him in some sort of girdle.
