Had a hard time finishing the first episode. Bad acting, uninterresting characters. The style is not my cup of tea. Seems like the public target is teenagers.

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.

It's just so bad (watched the first 3 episodes and will stop now) that you, or at least I do, get angry from watching it. So better stay away and act as if it never happened, just like episode 7-9.

I really liked the animated Rebels series and like the fanservice here and there, but sadly that´s not enough to keep the series from a very mediocre rating. I expected more from Mr. Filony, but maybe Kathleen "The Force is Female" Kennedy had to much power, when creating this series. Who knows...? Anyway, there´s not ONE character in the series, that I find sympathetic, except Chopper... And that should tell you what the real problem is... But hey, time to move on...

Star Wars is simply not the same anymore! The love and passion are gone. I no longer have any idea who these people are it’s just plain sad. Also is it too much to ask to be done with the skywalker sega? It’s so over used by this point!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Angsty drop out Sabine Wren and her two moms, Ahsoka and Herra, solve children's puzzles between long pauses and long unnecessary call backs to others shows you may not have seen. This show promises to answer such riveting questions as: Will Hera be able to convince Sabine to move out of her sky basement and make something of her life? How can someone know that finding Thrawn could prevent a war, but not have any idea of what war or how finding him would be helpful?

Is it possible to set a lightsaber to 'mildly stun'?

Noone will be left standing during the riveting inspection scene where Ahsoka and Hera discus how to get their daughter back to college and then a random droid voluntarily spills the villain's secrets completely unprompted.

Nothing really happens in the first two episodes of this show and the characters seem muted and stereotypical. The "puzzles" are laughable and almost insulting to the intelligence of the audience. The fetch quest McGuffin and stakes of the show seems contrived and uninteresting, much like the wooden writing that paints the characters as nothing more than simple archetypes we've seen in 100s of shows before this one.

The action choreography is also pretty bad. I get that rigging and more intense fight scenes can be expensive for a streaming show but there are times when the fight choreography is as stupid as the puzzles. There is one scene where Sabine is fighting the moody apprentice who has a double ended lightsaber and their lightsabers are locked for like the 6th time and all the apprentice would have to do to kill Sabine is just flick the other end of her saber. Star wars has always had silly flourishes in their fight scenes but something about how the fight scenes are blocked really emphasize just how bad some of the fighting is. All the main characters should already be dead based on how terrible they are at wilding a lightsaber.… Expand

While some viewers appreciate the emphasis on diversity and inclusion, others feel that thisThe recent iterations of the Star Wars franchise, under Disney's stewardship, have certainly brought about a noticeable shift in tone and themes. While some viewers appreciate the emphasis on diversity and inclusion, others feel that this approach has overshadowed the classic essence of the series.

The injection of "woke" themes, such as feminism and anti-establishment sentiments, is a clear departure from the franchise's earlier focus. While these ideas might resonate with some audiences, they have also sparked debate among long-time fans who were initially drawn to the saga for its timeless storytelling.

One point of contention is the characterization in the newer films. Some feel that the characters lack the depth and development seen in the original trilogy, leading to a less engaging viewing experience. Additionally, the heavy use of green screens for filming has been noted by some critics, impacting the authenticity of the performances.

The writing, too, has been a topic of discussion. Some viewers appreciate the attempt to introduce modern societal issues into the narrative, while others view it as a veneer that can overshadow the core story. Finding the right balance between addressing contemporary concerns and maintaining the essence of Star Wars has proven to be a challenge.

In summary, Disney's handling of the Star Wars franchise has sparked both praise and criticism. The shift towards addressing current social issues has reshaped the series, inviting new perspectives while also distancing it from its original charm. As with any major creative endeavor, opinions on these changes will likely remain diverse and impassioned.… Expand

Poorly written, and performed by less than professionals, “Ahsoka” fails at script, delivery and pace.

Having studied and performed as aPoorly written, and performed by less than professionals, “Ahsoka” fails at script, delivery and pace. It also fails to present compelling action sequences or correctly recreate the Star Wars universe. Having studied and performed as a professional actor in Manhattan for over a decade, I will explain my above allegations, and prove why we mustn’t support the current regime in Hollywood.This generation of pretenders needs to fail and exit before professional cinematic arts can return to our country. In “Ahsoka”, actors recite lines unnaturally with long pauses between responses; this occurs when actors haven’t memorized their lines. The actors also fail to carry out tasks while talking. Speaking while acting physically is a staple in professional cinema: the performer must be able to walk and talk as the same time. Trained professionals spend years executing complex tasks while reciting lines with peers in order to perform correctly on screen. “Ahsoka” tries to show off instead of relate to its audience. This is a common mistake among novice writers, or worse, “experienced” hacks who’ve never learned the art. The problem is further compounded by Disney’s neurotic “Woke” need to elevate women over men, causing the production to lean politically and lose sight of its true purpose: storytelling of mythic proportions. When the script STATES the story verbally instead of presenting it physically, then you’re no longer ACTING. A proper writer makes room for performance while creating depth of character thru conversation. The lines in “Ahsoka” are overtly simple, preventing any nuance, compelling conversation or ability to surprise from materializing. Dialogue here fails to develop character, and further fails to sound natural. A proper script creates thought, doubt and emotion in the audience. Filoni’s dumbed down lines are condescending; even children can handle deeper vocabulary and more complex plot than he dares to deliver. This is an issue Filoni inherits from his animation days, and one he’s obviously failed to overcome.

Any learned Star Wars fan will notice an absence of respect to the I.P. in every detail: whether it be the lack of the classic text crawl at the start, or how the captain of the rebel ship says “you have the bridge”, (a statement which is absolutely Star Trek). A very telling example is how Rosario Dawson phones in her action sequences, as any out of shape forty-year-old would. Ahsoka is supposed to be an extremely agile character, and the lack of wire work in this show betrays the lack of commitment from the production. As with most contemporary Hollywood creations, the majesty of composer Kevin Kiner and the thoughtful eye of cinematographers Eric Steelberg and Quyen Tran are completely eclipsed by the shortcomings of a greedy industry, unwilling to make effort, instead choosing to lean on the previous generation’s extended efforts for cash.… Expand

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?
