    La temporada 3 del mandaloriano bajo mucho el listón de Star wars, no se siente fresco se siente como las películas de superhéroes se siente que star wars está atascado y se le acaban las ideas a Dave filoni

It is nothing special, wasted the great Rebels characters and the plot collapses when you start thinking about it. After the weak and disappointing Mandalorian season 3 this was the last hope for the Star Wars fans and Disney. Even more the Rebels characters and Thrawn return. Sadly the hype and hopes were crushed really fast. My favorite characters are barely recognizable. Sabine Wren is completely different and what happen with Ahsoka is beyond my understanding. I recommend Rebels instead where the whole cast won me over and I deeply cared for them. They had their arcs, character grow, great chemistry and challenges. Then there is the story. Like I said it collapses really fast. For examples with a “Slight spoiler warning”: There is a valuable MacGuffin that is collected in episode 1. Now think about the last emergency action. If succeed this would destroy it and everything ended here and now. Also the explosion is really strong for such a small frame. Use whatever this is for ship to ship combat. A small vessel should take down a Star Destroyer with ease. Then the puzzle that only Sabine could solve is child play. I could solve it in minutes by just try and error. Deadly lightsaber wounds are just small bruises now. Lastly a lot of people are incompetent. The captain of the prison ship, the villains for their carelessness with droids and the leadership of the republic for ignoring serious threads. Especially Mon Mothma is degraded here to powerless leader. She was the leader of the rebellion that took down the Empire and now she fears to make the correct decisions just to please people that are ignorant. I will say again that I don't blame the actors for a bad script. Eve a great actor can not save a bad movie or show. Overall this is not garbage but feels painfully generic. They wasted an opportunity, great characters and fall back to tropes we don't like. I quit after episode3 were nothing happened that pushed the story forward. Give a 4/10 even if its is better than Book of Boba Fett and Obi Wan. It is fatigue for bad stories. Star Wars is now dead and there is just apathy from the fans. Great job Disney for destroying the “Money printing franchise” Star Wars was.… Expand

    Poor art direction, poor production value, convoluted story and dramaturgy, pacing too slow and long, characters psykos and attitude are completely different from Rebels, one more time the source material is not respected so in total, a mediocre serie.

    Well, it is better than Kenobi or Book of Boba but still bad. Dumb dialogues, dumb and unlikable characters and it's just booooring.

    While the cast is solid, the writing is mediocre at best, with awful dialogue. Just a small example: "Sometimes even the right reasons have the wrong consequences," says Ahsoka, as though speaking some deep Zen truth. Does that even make sense? How can a consequence be wrong?

    I purposely made an account for this review. As with every other Disney Star Wars movie or show, with the exception of the Mandalorian, it's main characters are strong female leads and most men are either a villain or a dumbass. The first 2 episodes were meh. Nothing special other than the music score, special effects and art design. These are all exceptional.

    I can under stand making a couple of these types of movies. But Star Wars was always a "guy thing". Probably 85% of fans were guys. So one would think Disney would target their main audience, but nooooo. Disney basically said eff you guys, you guys are going to pay to see it anyway, so we are going to target females, minorities, and the Alphabet people. Why cant movies just be good entertainment like they used to be without trying to push their politics down everyone's throat. I think people are starting to push back and are tired of this crap in movies, entertainment, and products we consume. Look at Disney, Bud Light and Target stocks. They are falling fast. It about time people are pushing back.    … Expand

    " Ashoka " is nothing special. Dawson does her best , but the writing fails her. Sabine is a stereotype thru and thru. CGI is serviceable. So , if you're a fan of modern Star Wars it's worth watching but don't expect too much. Dawson's performance alone is worth tuning in for.

    As an avid Star Wars fan I found that the luster and art of storytelling has been lost for the sake of “I have no idea what we are doing”. Does every story need the weight of emotional drama to be a relevant story?

The light-saber playing was semi-exciting, other then that I was bored. Disney needs to change their Series Release philosophy, don’t hold us hostage for stale intrigue. Let us get to the underwhelming climax and be done with it.… Expand

    It was not a good start, but I will stay and see what happens. I may change my score in the future.

    I'm glad to see the cough lozenges made it back onto the uniforms at least. Outside of that, it's kinda boring. It looks amazing, I'll admit that, but the story is very bland. It made me think two things.

    One, the Republic had a butt-ton of Jedi to do it's bidding and was a "democracy" (only run by a religious paramilitary force). We don't know much about the politics, outside    I'm glad to see the cough lozenges made it back onto the uniforms at least. Outside of that, it's kinda boring.

    One, the Republic had a butt-ton of Jedi to do it's bidding and was a "democracy" (only run by a religious paramilitary force). We don't know much about the politics, outside ever-boring trade agreements, only about the two religious factions vying for control, so it's not really a republic, it's a theocracy (complete with robes). Then the Empire took over and made it, well, an Empire, though nothing really changed there either, apart from them trying, and succeeding, in wiping out most of the Jedi, their religious rivals. Now the Alliance is on top and looking to kickstart the old republic in the form of the new republic (meet the old boss...). I don't really get why these two religious factions are fighting each other, and the show is not providing any more clarity.

    Two, and I hate Disney for this, all the main characters (sans one, who doesn't really have that many lines), are women. Before the whole woke narrative blew everything up, I wouldn't have noticed it (if the story were compelling and it looked good...which it does, don't forget). That's why I hate Disney. They made me notice. All the **** time. Figures the show seems to hold politics and politicians in such high regard. They do the same thing; pit people against each other based on things they are rather than what they've accomplished. Just like new Star Wars and this show. And even with all the main characters being women, there's still a sense that they're pressing their noses to the glass of the original movies and the Mandalorian. They want so bad to be taken serious, like real Star Wars, but they're preoccupied with making it nothing but a girl version of better material. They're blind to the one thing that would make this truly a hit - good storytelling.

    It's mediocre and I'm still tired of Jedi, lightsabers, and "hokey religions." And I don't care that you got pretty girls to do 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 Ahsoka displays...

    Even lightsaber duels can’t match the fierce glow of Rosario Dawson as the ex-Jedi knight with the funky headgear who leads her sisterhood—glory to Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Natasha Liu Bordizzo—In battle against the Empire’s fading patriarchy. Now that’s worth celebrating.

    Unless you’re immensely invested in the relationships between Ahsoka, Sabine, and Hera, or the search for Imperial Grand Admiral Thrawn and young Jedi Ezra Bridger, or a forgettable villain who was in one episode of The Mandalorian years ago, then there’s really nothing here to connect to. That could change, and I think that’s why Disney wisely decided to release two episodes at once, but as it stands the villains are boring and the heroes are all way too insistent on being stubbornly stoic about everything—which is also boring! [The score is the average of the grades for the first two episodes.]

    In a show where, when a scene needs to establish a thing, the characters often stand there directly, drily discussing that thing – “show don’t tell” being another writing rule that hasn’t survived the trip across the cosmos – Tennant is often left trying to say unfunny lines in a funny voice. Like everything in Ahsoka, he could be so much better if he were allowed to cut loose and entertain us.
