  1. I understand this wouldn't have worked with the overarching story Filoni is trying to tell with these shows, but I completely agree. In a similar vein, I was far more interested in Lando's story in Solo than I was I Han's. And now we're getting Lando movie with Donald Grover which I am 100% on board for. I want to know what Baylan is searching for, but I'm afraid we won't find out this season. And it's what I am most interested in. Of course, now we'll have a recasting, and who knows how that will go. Also interested in seeing how Shin deals with abandonment and failure. She's no where near as well-trained or skilled as she thought she was, and it was a rude awakening.
  2. Ok, sorry, but this episode was miles better than the last. Went somewhere and did something. Advanced a story that, for now, only has two episodes left.
  3. I'm not a Rebels fan and am not particularly attached to Ahsoka, but the show is reasonably well done and entertaining. Is it just a Filoni vanity project? Maybe, and I'm not as high on his Star Wars work as others. But, it's not bad. But, like you, I'm questioning where this is going with only three episodes left. A second season? The big movie Filoni is planning?
  4. I didn't miss the echoing of both Luke and Ahsoka tossing aside the lightsaber instead of delivering the killing blow to Vader. I dunno, I'm not sure that was a lesson Ahsoka needed to learn. She never struck me as being undisciplined.
  5. But what was the trial/test? Whether or not she wanted to live? We've seen nothing from her to give us the impression she was on the verge of giving up. Quite the opposite.
  6. We haven't had an official Gunbuster thread in years. This is overdue.
  7. I know just enough about Rebels that I know what's going on in Ahsoka, but I wasn't into that show and didn't watch anything really past the first season or so. I've read and heard far more about it than I watched. For those without such insight, they'll be totally lost in Ahsoka and that's a shame. Lucasfilm intentionally painted themselves into this corner by Marvelizing their TV content. And it's even more of an issue because they're relying on people to have watched the cartoons, which were directed at a younger audience and not terribly appealing for all but the diehard adults.
  8. Watched the first two episodes. It's fine so far, can't say I have any complaints. I'm not really invested in any of these characters, besides Ahsoka a little bit, so I'm not terribly excited to see these people in live action.
  9. Buzz from the first two episodes is good. I've seen it pointed out that's it's definitely not Andor, which I wasn't expecting it to be. Filoni couldn't do Andor if he tried, it's not just in his wheelhouse.
  10. That's not what they're implying. She knows how to handle a lightsaber, but she has no power (as is stated in one of the trailers).
  11. Had a lot of fun with this movie. Lost me a bit in the middle, but the third act really brought me back in a big way.
