Star Wars Ahsoka (tv series)

[Sluis Van Shipyards]

Who've the villainous force users been dueling against the last several years? If Sabine was dueling ashoka every day for the last few years, she'd be much more up to speed than someone on the fringes of the galaxy going up against nobodies with blasters, no?

Maybe. There was some EU/reference book stuff during the Prequels that said the Jedi had neglected their dueling training because they have never fought another lightsaber wielder for hundreds of years. That both makes sense and doesn't make sense. It makes sense to focus on blaster defense training, but I can't see the older masters like Yoda letting dueling slip that much. It seems like it's more of a thing you can choose to focus on if you want, because you have some Jedi like Dooku, Mace Windu, Anakin, and Obi-Wan (to a lesser degree) who focused more on dueling.

Don't want to spoil anything, but there's a new LEGO set coming of The Ghost, & it includes a character that most would assume will be in the show in some way.

Just a heads up.

 

[Kylash]

I have a feeling the dark side users aren’t completely evil, at least the guy. The shots in the trailer of him and Ahsoka seem almost like their training fighting in the world between worlds.

Official images have been released of the mural Sabine painted that was shown at the end of REBELS...

chris linked me to these photos the other day, i just haven't had a single second to come on here and reply. im wondering, there was a theory going around that the blonde bad padawan.. can't think of her name Balon's padawan, people were saying she was using Kanan's lightsaber.. the emitter kind of looks like it from the blurry screen grabs

but this belt hanger Sabine is wearing looks more like the bad padawan's saber then ezras to me

be wicked interesting if she did modify it...

What I'm reading in this thread as excitement by those that invested in the cartoons, and going by what a friend whom has seen all the cartoons and likes what he sees with Asoka as a series, I'm usually bass akwards wrong, this series is destined to fail.
Why, too niche of an audience.
Just my own observation.

Based on my own eyes, it looks terrible all around. But like I said I'm usually wrong with his stuff. At this point Disney LFL needs a hit across the board not a niche fan service outing with a massive budget. Thius far the acolyte looks trash, skeleton crew looks trash, mandalorian is trash, anyone remember Andor season 2 is boxed in there somewhere?

Maybe Indy can use his new time machine toy to correct Disney LFL.

Well... Yeah. Those that have enjoyed the SW animated content are invested in most of the things that bring in those characters.

I 99% agree with you. I still have 1% hope left!

That's my point. What works in animation doesnt transfer to live action. I'll revert to a friend insisting I watch an animated series lightsaber battle atop flying spaceships. He ranted about how amazing it was, where I just wanted to turn it off. To me that's super hero fodder, not star wars. It's kids playing with action figures. Which is exactly what we have been getting with star wars TV shows. Kids with action figures.

Before anyone replies, kids with action figures happened in rise of Skywalker with horses running on space ships in space as a laser battle is going on around them. Was terrible all around. What may work in an animated form may not work in live action.

Horses, in space, on a space ship, in a star wars movie, it happened.

From your perspective, that's an absolutely valid point.

I will not defend anything in the ST, even though I enjoyed a very few things about it, but not the overall execution, but I do have to point out that those Star Destroyers were NOT in space. They were in the atmosphere over Exegol & NEVER made it out.

That's been Dave's style since TCW. And to be fair, it works with the kids. At least one knows what to expect. The kids that grew up with TCW are adults. And they are eating this stuff up.

Man eating teddy bears also happened... Lol

 

[Joek3rr]

New trailer dropped. The only thing exciting. A-wings! I do get excited to see more ROTJ ships.

Also I think I want a LEGO E-wing. Maybe. It isn't the EU design....so I'll have to see.

Or maybe I'll just make my custom one.

 

[Usagi Pilgrim]

Let the HATE flow through you...

I'd say if you don't care/like/etc, then just don't watch, but that doesn't stop anyone from sharing opinions on stuff they haven't seen so... Oh well.

I'll be here to discuss the show when it happens, if anyone cares to join me.

 

[guabe]

I am really looking forward for this show. I wasn't a bof fan of Rebels but it had its moments for me.

 

[Kylash]

I dunno man, Thrawn looks like a digitally colorized black and white video. Everything else looks amazing. Weird hearing Ezra's voice, he almost sounded like Anakin.

 

[JNordgren42]

I'm very hopeful and excited for the show. I can't wait to see all the war crimes our favorite little psychopathic murder droid Chop commits.

 

[Laspector]

Where in the timeline is this? Is this Mando times or Rebels times?

 

[janglesworthy]

Mando time, Ahsoka was looking for Yawn in her Mando episode.

 

[Usagi Pilgrim]

Where in the timeline is this? Is this Mando times or Rebels times?

So yeah, it's taking place during the Mando timeline, but it overlaps REBELS a bit.

At the end of REBELS, after Ezra was lost, there was a final scene with older Ahsoka & Sabine going to look for him. Evidently, there was a pretty good time gap between the ending & that scene, so at least part of this series is covering that gap. From the trailer, it seems that the two of them had some sort of falling out & that scene in front of Sabine's mural was their reconnection. We just didn't realize at the time that it was about 10-15 years between the two.

EDIT:

For any that care, or haven't seen it, this is the ending scene of REBELS, part of which was recreated for the Ahsoka show.
