Ahsoka Season 1 (spoilers likely)

[AKULA]

I watch it and enjoyed it for what it is.

I wonder at what point them will introduce Thrawn, will he appear early on or in the season finale as a lead into season 2?

Don't get me wrong, I love it (apart from Hera's accent) 

re: Thrawn... if its an 8 episode season I'd guess along the following lines....

Episode 4 - Sneaking on board the giant hyperspace ring, or somehow attach the shuttle without them noticing (guess the ring set off right at end of episode)
Episode 5 - Hyperspace travel...more dialogue...insults from Huyang...Wren training, arrive in new galaxy
Episode 6 - {Surprise} ... Thrawn isn't waiting at the jump point but someone else is ... maybe the ring gets attacked...damaged (or even destroyed)
Episode 7 - exploring the new surroundings ... more insults from Huyang...Wren training...
Episode 8 - Big fight against Marrok, Skoll etc. Thrawn arrives in system...big music...roll credits...

Filoni has the backing from Lucas so I reckon he will carry on the world building/character development for the whole of Season 1.

My hunch (as you will see from Episode 6 {surprise} is that maybe this is a one-way trip.... a lot of the discussion on social media seems to be around "when Thrawn gets back" ...but maybe Filoni is rebooting in a new galaxy (no doubt handily full of familiar looking aliens but without the pressure of what happens in the Sequels).

All of this bending backwards, while 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, and all creative freedom can be applied to the Star Wars universe again without having Kennedy's Legacy hanging over everyone's head...

That said I still feel Hera's characterization is off. Can't put my finger on it though.

Yes, it's felt a bit 'flat' to me as well.

Don't get me wrong, I am enjoying it but I hope it stays in galaxy for the most part.

Quite possibly. The other rumour is that Filoni wants to bring Mando, Boba Fett and Ahsoka to the big screen in a movie that wraps up their respective shows. So who knows???

That was a much better episode than last week.

Captain Carson is my new favourite NPC

Much better.

And even better when I rewatched it with the brightness turned up to full.

I enjoyed it a lot, I was on the edge of my seat for most of it, but Sabine was never such a fuck up in the cartoon, in fact the exact oposite. That's annoying.
And yeah, Hera is miscast, this character has nothing to do with Hera I know from Rebels.
Still, vey entertaining and very much looking forward to next week.
I'm betting on season 1 finishing with the discovery of Thrawn and Ezra, any takers?

I'll just leave this here....

🤣

That was fun! Really enjoyed that and the WTF ending

Nasty, very nasty

Yup, way more fun this week 

As soon as the inquisitor started the spinny thing, I knew he was done for. Someone really ought to write a memo to the other inquisitors about that. At least she didn't just deactivate it and kill him with it this time

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

I'm guessing Hera hitches a ride with the space whales to get to the other galaxy, while Ahsoka just walks through a door in the World Between Worlds

[nozza_uk]

And no-one has mentioned the ending (yet).

Also a bit disappointed in Sabine's giving in to her weakness; I had hoped she'd be of sterner stuff. Ah well; here's hoping for her redemption arc...
