Season 1 Review: Ahsoka avoids the excessive cameos and contrived dot-connecting of other, lesser Star Wars shows, focusing instead on what makes this franchise so much fun — its characters. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The job of any “Star Wars” product is the competent execution of formula, and “Ahsoka” hits its marks. .... Ahsoka may be humorless, but Dawson’s performance isn’t. And at the same time it evokes, in a clever way, the two-dimensional character of the cartoons. It’s also helpful that, working with the fight coordinator Ming Qiu, the stunt coordinator J.J. Dashnaw and her stunt double, Michelle Lee, Dawson gives her battle scenes a visceral credibility. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The storytelling is patient, and the scenes are carried by Kevin Kiner’s luscious score, which swells and calms at just the right moments. When that’s on pause, there’s architect droid Huyang (a scene-stealing David Tennant) on hand to offer wry and logical truth bombs and adding some welcome levity to proceedings.  Read full review

Season 1 Review: Disney+’s new live action series Ahsoka has the potential to explore the more cosmic and mystical aspects of the Star Wars universe, but the first two episodes feel flat at times as characters have to spend too much time catching up viewers who didn’t watch Star Wars Rebels.

Season 1 Review: In Ahsoka, while the most basic basics do come through, none of the character stories connect on the emotional level wanted without prior engagement with the depths of their lore. On a production level, Ahsoka is well-made Star Wars content, with solid lightsaber battles and space fighter hijinks and enough interest in how ordinary people adapt to the extraordinary circumstances of galactic conflict to inspire favorable comparisons to Andor.

Season 1 Review: Awkwardly bringing the animated character to life in her own series, “Ahsoka” gets so much right about the look and action of “Star Wars” that its shortcomings – an overall stiffness slowed by long, pregnant pauses – feel more pronounced. There’s still hope for this showcase featuring Rosario Dawson as Anakin Skywalker’s all-grown-up Padawan, but the first two episodes don’t possess as much Force as they should. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Ahsoka lacks the beauty or grandeur of the best of George Lucas’s vision. It has nothing of the tactility of Tatooine’s deserts or Hoth’s icescape. The production design is as flat and flimsy as the characterisation. Ahsoka herself is, on paper, a badass – but on the screen she feels joyless. Read full review

"Ahsoka," the series directed and written by Dave Filoni, is a true masterpiece that transports viewers into an exciting and engaging adventure. Filoni, known for his talent in authentically expanding the Star Wars universe, brings all his brilliance to breathe life into Ahsoka Tano's journey.

The skillfully crafted narrative captures the essence of the beloved character without losing sight of the richness of the world she inhabits. Filoni constructs an atmosphere that is both familiar and intriguing, providing an experience that keeps viewers both captivated and eager to discover what's to come.

The script is a true highlight of the series. The interactions between characters are genuine, full of depth and evolution. Ahsoka Tano, in particular, is brought to life remarkably, exploring her personal journey in a way that respects her pre-existing history while also expanding it in an exciting manner. Filoni's writing does justice to the complexity of Star Wars themes, incorporating elements of action, exploration, and moral reflection, all with a skill that leaves viewers hungry for more.

Dave Filoni's direction is visually impressive. Each scene is carefully composed, highlighting both the intricate details of the locations and the emotions of the characters. The visuals are enhanced by an immersive soundtrack that evokes the characteristic feeling of the Star Wars saga, both immersive and emotional.

Furthermore, the "Ahsoka" series has the ability to attract both long-time Star Wars fans and those who might be venturing into this universe for the first time. Filoni's balanced approach offers nostalgia to fans but also introduces new elements to keep the story interesting and accessible.

In summary, "Ahsoka" is a series that shines thanks to Dave Filoni's undeniable talent. With an engaging narrative, captivating characters, and visually stunning direction, the series stands out as a notable addition to the Star Wars universe. Fans can prepare for an incredible journey, filled with emotions and twists, as they accompany Ahsoka Tano on her next adventure.… Expand

Dawson in particular is a tremendous choice for Ahsoka at this stage in her life, bringing both gravitas and a sly sense of humour, as well as having the look down cold.

As I'm sorry to see so many one-note negative reviews, let me add that as male fan of Star Wars since the original release of what became known as A New Hope, I'm delighted to see a female-centric series. And the Star Wars universe is big enough that those who can't abide by strong female leads can find their happy place elsewhere. It's your loss.… Expand

Disney outdid themselves once again. One might have thought that Star Wars hit rock-bottom, but no, Kennedy/Filoni has proven everybody wrong yet again. There is plenty of space to keep on digging even deeper.
This show not just had completely forgetful, unimaginative and pisspoorly written story(even GAI would probably have written a better script.) so far(ohh look, we are looking for yet another map, yay...or something), they managed to slow it down to a crawl, with constant pointless long pauses and padding, that whole show feels to be a filler for something else. Except that there is nothing else. I mean show is full of scenes that last for minutes, while they have maybe 5-10 seconds worth of content. Characters can quite literally say a sentence and then pause for 10 seconds, say another and pause for another 5. And they are not really saying anything that would require emphasizing, just general conversations. "Hi...How are you doing?...It is a beautiful day...We are talking...Sun is up today..."
It is equivalent of eating paper - tastes like nothing and has zero nutritional value. Watching paint dry is more entertaining. Time spent watching this could be spent much much better by doing literally anything else. ANYTHING!
To call choreographics amateurish would be an insult to amateurs. Pretty much same for effects. Both are average at best moments and neighborhood-kids-reinacting-star wars at the worst.
It is also takes special kind complete lack of talent and competence, to write show so devout of common sense or logic. Jesus F Christ, it is packed full of events that happened for no good reason, simply because script says so. And most of the time do not make any sense and contradict things established earlier in the SAME episode. It is one long line of convoluted coincidences and conveniences. "Puzzles" probably deserve their own mention, as coma patient probably would be able to solve them. Simply dropping those mcguffins would "solve" them. It was so incredibly primitive and poorly done, that even 3-year-old would probably throw it back at you for insulting his intelligence.
And of course, how we could not have gone without it, how trash can go on without being stuffed full of progressive causes. If only they put as much effort into...anything else, as they put into girlbossing.
0/10 for show, 10/10 for Lucasfilm reaching another milestone of incompetence.… Expand

Was excited about this show. I'm super anti-woke, but I can say Rosario Dawson is perfect as the title character, but unfortunately we quickly see the show isn't about her. It's about Sabine, who from the first moments we see her, she comes across as whiny, unlikeable, and uninteresting. IWas excited about this show.

Also, I love girl power but why is every main character a woman?… Expand

Come on, really? Anything over 3 stars for this show is generous. Watch anything before it and it quickly degrades. I don't even want to get into how bad this is. Final nail into the Disney SW coffin.

Why does this show exist? The glup **** meme is actually a real thing now with Disney Star Wars, truly breathtaking that they managed to tank the franchise so hard and do such a disservice to their most popular characters that they now have to parade around a fan fiction character inventedWhy does this show exist? The glup **** meme is actually a real thing now with Disney Star Wars, truly breathtaking that they managed to tank the franchise so hard and do such a disservice to their most popular characters that they now have to parade around a fan fiction character invented by a greasy hack who wears a cowboy hat to cover up his receding hairline.
Does it make any sense to the story that George Lucas told that this character is around for 3 different eras and does nothing to help in any conflict after she disappears using time travel? Does it add anything to the franchise to have her steal the Thrawn storyline that belongs to Luke and co?
I am sorry but Star Wars is dead, and Filoni is pissing on it's grave.… Expand
