I have so many thoughts!
I’m not even sure where to begin.
I have been waiting for this series for so long! So long!
Ahsoka Tano has been a favorite character of mine since she premiered on the Clone Wars. So much so, when we saw the trailer drop for this, my mom sent it to me – all, don’t you love this character?
I talked about her so much over a decade ago, my mom remembered it.
My mom who can’t remember what the days of the week it is.
I’ve been dying for this premiere all month long.
So long.
And then, well, as I posted I’ve hit some delays in getting sick. I contracted Covid and since I’m already compromised, I’ve had trouble kicking it.
So, comes the date it premieres and I totally forgot. I was so sick and laid up in bed, I didn’t know what date was what anymore.
Then I was up, unable to sleep because I couldn’t breath properly, flipping through On Demand, trying to find something silly to watch. And then… I saw it.
Ahsoka’s first two episodes dropped.
Welp, I clicked on it and watched it as the sun came up instead of sleeping.
And damn was it worth it.
I do not care what anyone says or thinks. This series was made for my Ahsoka loving heart and that’s all that matters to me.
Her badass fight against the droids. Racing and jumping onto the ship. Her sassy exchange with her droid on the ship. Everyone nudging her about taking an apprentice. Her apprentice being such an odd choice.
I damn well loved every minute of this first episode.
From the scene transitions being exactly as Star Wars should.
The music.
The fighting.
The creatures.
I love the Loth Cat. So adorable.
Knowing what the baddies are up to.
The opening.
Everything about this tugged all the right Star Wars strings. Thank you To Dave Filioni for capturing what George Lucas had already done.
If I’m going to knock a compliant.
I don’t like the over use of CGI.
Stars Wars should feel real to me.
A whole other world in my screen.
Yet, this felt like a really great video game setting. It’s good. But it lacks the depth real Star Wars sets bring to the party. CGI works on Stars Wars in conjunction with real sets and props.
Now, if there’s one other thing, well, it doesn’t bother me per say. I just don’t get it.
Is Sabine at all force sensitive? Don’t Jedi need to be force sensitive? Isn’t that the point of them? Why not just anyone can be one?
Did I miss something?
Or is she just not as force sensitive as she’s supposed to be to be a Jedi? Like it’s weaker, but still there somewhere?
Or did I miss the chapter where we train anybody to be a Jedi now?
I wanted to mind. But if she’s operating as a Jedi who’s a bit handicapped because her force powers are weaker, that’s going to be damn interesting.
I hope that’s the choice they’ve made.
Because damn was it fun watching her and Ahsoka.
Even the scene where Sabine is fighting against the Dark Jedi apprentice and holds her own while Ahsoka rushes to her aide was amazing.
The best part was watching Ahsoka’s face.
She knows Sabine can take care of herself. But she’s still a worried Master. Those threads of worry etched across her face, fearing she may be too late because she kept her at a distance.
Closeness didn’t work.
Distance didn’t work.
What will it take to protect the people she cares for?
I loved it.
Kudos to the cast!
Kudos to the writing!
I loved this series so far. The only thing I hope for is an epic Master/Apprentice face off between Ahsoka and Sabine vs the Dark Jedi.
I cannot wait!
I also loved the mention of Anakin.
Yes, Ahsoka, you were not always a picnic for Anakin to deal with. However, you didn’t enslave the galaxy either so…
