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

    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...

    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.

    Another Starwars flop? Maybe not but not great. The writing is mediocre, the physical performance is poor. Rosario is pretty good but the rest of the cast is lacking. It is about what I was expecting from Disney.

    I love all things Star Wars and if the first couple of episodes are anything to go by Ahsoka is looking like it will be a true gem. Rosario Dawson is nailing it and I can't wait to see what Lars Mikkelsen brings to the table as Grand Admiral Thrawn. Don't pay attention to the review-bombing haters, they either don't like Star Wars or they just don't like women. It's a whole thing.

    If you ever liked Star Wars then stay away from this thing. Since the Force is female, now all relevant characters are women, lightsabers are only for show, you can't kill anyone with them, and all the plot is about finding a Mcguffin, really sad.

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.

    "Ahsoka" is a prime example of how to let Star Wars fans down in almost every way. Right out the gate, the pacing is a drag; two episodes in and it feels like we're stuck in a Star Wars traffic jam, inching towards a climax that never seems to come. The script is pure amateur hour, sprinkled with dialogue so cringeworthy it makes Jar Jar Binks look like a Shakespearean scholar.

The characters are robotic and flat, they interact like a couple of malfunctioning Siri devices having a bad day. The show shamelessly pilfers scenes and ideas from other movies and lacks that authentic Star Wars essence that die-hard fans yearn for. Let's not even touch on the fight choreography; I've seen better battles between toddlers. Visually, instead of "Mandalorian" quality, it looks like Disney's budget went the way of Alderaan. Sadly, "Ahsoka" feels less like the next great Star Wars chapter and more like a god damn galactic faceplant.… Expand

    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

The plot is lacking and what really did it was the lightsaber strike to the chest. The next day she is sitting up and acting like nothing happened?

    " 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.

And music: da.n, this music is so bad, so anticlimactic! Series better than "BoBF" and "Obi-Wan Kenobi" - probably. Anyway this is end of watching, waste of time. BTW: I always thought that the destruction of canon started with introduction of Ahsoka character, now we got apprentice of Ahsoka Tano... Are you kidding me?… Expand

    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.
