Ahsoka Season 1 (spoilers likely)

[Lost Egg]

Not quite sure why Ahsoka grabbed the orb. I get that she didn't want to destroy it, but why not just use the force to move it

Maybe so she can read the map burnt into her hand and follow along next episode? Though travelling with the purrgil is probably more likely.

I agree it was a better epsiode and that Hera is a miscast. Still, fun to watch.

Or just use the “World between Worlds*” that she is currently in to walk to the new Galaxy in a couple of minutes? Presumably with “not-dead Anakin” in tow?

 


* Rebels Season 4 Episode 13 is worth a watch if you’ve not heard of it before.

Do you think they'll go multi-verse?  Not sure how I feel about that in SW......

Yeah, that's true though I thought Dave Filoni had said he was reluctant to use that too much.

I don't think it'll be a multi-verse as its 'just' another galaxy. Still, I hope the setting doesn't shift to there as it's not really needed, there is still so much to explore and so many stories to tell in their own galaxy.

The best thing about Episode 4 is that the next four episodes are unpredictable... most Star Wars series seem to follow a familiar story arc but Ashoka isn't, and for me that has brought genuine excitement at what comes next.

It could well be that Ashoka whistles up a purgil like a galactic uber...that way would allow Hera & Jacen (and probably most importantly the Ghost) to remain in the main story ...otherwise they will be reduced to the odd cut scene where they wonder how their friends are getting on... 

The end-scene with Anakin is interesting in so many ways...is he a force ghost? No glowing edges, but that could be explained by the fact that they are in the "world between worlds" rather than our plain of existence. Is it really Anakin? or Sidious? or Vader?

Either way "Anakin" didn't appear to pull Ashoka into the "world between worlds" ... he wasn't there initially when she woke up, and there is no sign of a portal that she came through (as in Rebels), so how did she get there? When he said that he didn't "expect to see her so soon" does that mean that she is dead (again)...if so presumably she gets brought back to life again otherwise its going to be a very short series.

Personally the best thing in the episodes to date has been Ray Stevenson's portrayal of Baylan Skoll...his passing was a real shock. The dark Jedi has already shown more character depth than any of the characters in the Sequel Trilogy. RIP Ray.

I suspect after a lengthy chat with Anakin she will wake up on a ledge below the cliff and then Purgils will lead them through.

[jhonpog]

Yup agreed they have done well in keeping it unpredictable and I do like how Sabine is actually at risk when fighting it gives it a bit more weight

Purgill-uber makes sense Akula I guess we'll find out soon enough. I wonder how close they will follow Zahn's trilogy?

[AKULA]

I suspect after a lengthy chat with Anakin she will wake up on a ledge below the cliff and then Purgils will lead them through.

On reflection this is probably the most probable outcome from Ep 5... just rewatched the following interview with Filoni from a couple of years ago when asked about the World between Worlds...he describes it not as somewhere you can step through other doorways but rather "the gift of knowledge".

Interesting quote (in the context of the events that happened in Rebels) ... "she would have to go back to where she came from" which suggests that Ashoka will go back to Seetos ...and maybe link up with Huyang, Hera, Jane and the Ghost... and then call up a Purgil-uber

[Ninefingers]

all Disney has to do is to state that the sequels are either no longer Canon, or that they're part of an alternative timeline

Why would they do that?

Really enjoyed Ep 5 - the Anakin scenes were v.well done...loved the lightsaber duel and the clone wars flashbacks.

Looking at those two images, the young Ashoka was the right height for the opening battles, but she looks a little short in that last shot of the siege of Mandalore compared to the animated version, but wasn't really noticeable watching it in real time.

I'm a little surprised that Hera didn't decide to take the Ghost with Ashoka...would have been more useful than the T-6 shuttle and she might be facing a courtmartial when she gets back.

[Lost Egg]

I liked Ahsoka's vision with the Clone Wars flash backs and I liked that she communed with the purrgil too. She seemed more still after her vision...and she was wearing white, perhaps she was channeling her inner Gandalf the White.

Something I'm not too sure about with all the Star Wars series' is that the New Republic seems to have learnt very little from the fall of the Old Republic (being undermined by pettiness and baddy-sympathisers). While that's not necessarily a big surprise it does leave these elements feeling a bit repetitious which was for me one of the many (many, many, many...) issues with the sequel trilogy.

[Mr Tough Guy]

Not a fan of the last episode, as someone who doesn't like the character of Ahsoka, I've basicly hated her from her first appearance in the clone wars movie, the show so far had been decent, I enjoyed all the old Rebels crew stuff and felt Ahsoka was acting like a bit of a c***, which fits with my opinion of her. The complete focus this episode on her was disapointing if not somewhat expected, at some point at least. But Anakin calling her Snips, gave me flashbacks to the Clone Wars movie and just made me wish she stayed dead.  I hope the next few episodes are more like the first four, because IMHO Ahsoka is the least interesting part of the show.

[jhonpog]

Overall I enjoyed this episode but with a couple of gripes    I'm not a fan of having a lightsabre fight in every episode it takes the power out of them; becomes too commonplace for me.  I liked the world beyond worlds bit expect for when they were duelling.  I always felt that jedi are meant to be greater than just being able to fight with a laser sword and that would be a thing of last resort.  Alec Guiness' obi wan is my standard I guess he did all sorts of cool things....

Quite liked the purgill thing oddly enough I didn't think I would be it's nice to see SW style fauna on screen

The acting is a little.....flat?  I dunno no one seems to have much emotion about anything....anyway just my 2c

[Lost Egg]

I can see what you mean with the lightsabre fights...but I think the duel in the recent episode reflects Ahsoka's inner turmoil, her memory of who Annakin was and what he has become.
