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

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

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

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. Read full 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.

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

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 proves to be a rewarding watch, particularly for fans who have invested in the broader Star Wars narrative.

A promising start to the new show and a great continuation from Rebels. Don't listen to the review bombers who are still butthurt about the sequel trilogy.

While it isn't perfect , this show is pretty much what i have been asking for. The new characters are interesting, more rebels branching and ahsoka who does a fine job. The visuals are good and the story has me intrigued. Outside of some moments that drag it has me pulled in.

Edit: Y'all are marking this unhelpful because you know i'm right. Exactly what is sooo bad about this that it deserves lower than a 3? Most people don't even give any arguments, they just bomb the score. And some of y'all are so embarrassed that there are some females lmao. In a ahsoka series, get your head out of your ass.

This is an ongoing issue that plagues metacritic, metacritic should verify everyone's account to check if someone even saw it.… Expand

There are some cool moments here and the 2 Jedi trained characters are interesting, but… so far it’s been slow,predictable and the special FX aren’t great. I don’t mind a slow-burner,but the acting and writing feel very uninspired. I mean... Spock has more emotions than what AhsokaThere are some cool moments here and the 2 Jedi trained characters are interesting, but… so far it’s been slow,predictable and the special FX aren’t great.

Like always, the same thing out of Disney, they can't get one thing right. without messaging. For christ sake just end this, Star Wars is dead, just leave it, stop dragging the corps.

EXTREMELY cringe acting, the female fight scenes are lame. All the commanders are female. This is ruining star wars franchise. I was excited waiting to see this, only to be let down
