Dull, uninspired with forced political agendas. Aligned with all the latest crap they released.

Craps all over the character development and kick ass characters from rebels. Terribly written, no plot. Focusing on all the truly stupid elements of Rebels. Terrible action. The only reason it gets a 4 is because David Tennant as Huyang is an absolute delight. I'd be willing to bet money what the twist is going to be, as it's so poorly written that it should be ridiculously obvious. Rosario Dawson is a better actor than this. Use her for Crying out loud!… Expand

This "girls are the center of the universe and men are weak sniveling fools" is getting tiring. Ahsoka seems to have gone to the Harry Hamlin school of acting (i.e no facial expressions - even Spock had more expressiveness). It is Star WarsThis "girls are the center of the universe and men are weak sniveling fools" is getting tiring. Ahsoka seems to have gone to the Harry Hamlin school of acting (i.e no facial expressions - even Spock had more expressiveness). It is Star Wars so it does get 1-2 points for that. Add another point for the sets and CGI (not great) and you get a base of 2-3 points. The animated TV shows (Clone Wars and Rebels) were good. One got more emotion from the not-so-great animation of those shows. So, I'd give this a 4 and say "definitely not a must-see - watch the other animated shows."… Expand

I was honestly hoping that this show would bring back the Star Wars that was so loved, before Disney started to ruin it. Especially seeing Dave Filoni would be leading this project.
Well, lesson learned.

Well, lesson learned.

This show has started out very weak and I seriously doubt it will get any better. The story is so weak it's disturbing, with characters doing the dumbest mistakes or requiring the help of other characters when the answers are staring them in the face.

I was hoping that given the time she had Rosario Dawson would settle in into the Ahsoka that is so loved as a character. But she hasn't at all. For the most time Rosario Dawson as Ahsoka she's mostly expressionless and or she uses the same facial expressions in almost every situation.
And what's up with she always crossing her arms Obi-Wan style?! Ahsoka in The Clone Wars and Rebels had a lot more fire, and she was definitely more aware of what she needed to do and how to go about doing it.
But this Ahsoka is seeking advice from Hera when she doesn't even need to.

Natasha Bordizzo as Sabine Wren at first seemed like a great choice. That is until we start to she's little like the Sabine Wren of Rebels. Honestly, what did she learn from Ahsoka?! To unlearn how to fight. Because she in Rebels with the little training she received from Kanan, she was a much better fighter. Now her moves are sluggish and predictable.
There's none of the beauty of lightsaber combat seen in the Prequels, TCW and sometimes even in Rebels.

Speaking of lightsabers. Apparently the deadliest portable weapon in the galaxy is now less lethal than a blaster. Seeing that at least those that take a blaster fire they usually go down and stay that way for good. Lightsabers ever since Obi-Wan, you can get impaled in one episode and you'll be fine the next.
Also speaking of galaxy the story is desperately trying to make itself more interesting by shifting the action to very far away, as if that galaxy doesn't have a part of it named The Unknown Regions.

And the villains. Don't even get me started on those. It's easy being a villain when the other characters are all more or less IQ deficient. There might be some actual good story there about their background, but it seems clear that as soon as the show gets the chance they're going to get rid of them like they never even mattered at all.

Like I already pointed out the story is very weak. Almost feels like a lame videogame story, where characters have to go from checkpoint to checkpoint completing some challenges along the way, and of course so the story can move forward other characters need to leave breadcrumbs along the way or else this show would've ended in the first episode.

Very disappointed with the Ahsoka show. If it keeps going like this I might drop completely. This is definitely not Lucas Star Wars, and I should've known better than to expect it to be.
Face it, this show is just Disney milking this franchise of anything it still has, until there's nothing left.
A real shame. Truly.
Love the character but this show is not about the actual Ahsoka Tano.… Expand

I know some people didn't like "Disney Star Wars" from the beginning, but looking at other shows like Andor, for example. A real masterpiece in terms of story, music, visuals. The story was more engaging. Of course, Ahsoka's plot isn't bad, but it's a definite downgrade from previous series. Not to mention the CGI that looks like Disney Channel at times. Of course, I'm only talking about flaws now, but as a Star Wars fan, unfortunately, I pay more attention to imperfections than others.… Expand

It lacks its own unique ideas, puzzles, and plot points. It is yet another whatever Star Wars show with a super weapon, old missing legacy characters, badly written dialogues. A lot of starring this time, though, like... a lot, as if someone was copying Mandalorian (without the helmet). And the secret map hidden behind elementary school riddles and puzzles, and of course: an item that will save us all! Did the writers actually watch the original Star Wars? Why are these new Star Wars shows and films always about some silly item, like a D&D session or a Dan Brown novel? Imagine Luke Skywalker searching the universe for a magical cube because... without it, he will never be a Jedi. Horrible writing. 4/10 for the effects.… 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

I wanted to like the first two episode I really did and it does have its bright spots but this show really does not seem to like to give explanations in areas you need a believable explanation.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Episode 3: New episode: slightly better. More actions, Space battles. and Empire strike back style music which felt good ( really good compared to the previous 2 shows ) but for all the slightly better feel good, the episode is minuscule like a vignette. It is infuriating that we got, maybe 20 minutes or screentime and the rest was the intro and then almost 10 minutes of credits. These lucasfilm people sure like to plaster their names on the screen at the expense of screen time.

This episode energy should have been what the first 2 episodes should have been like. Slow again at the start but then finally a bit of Andor shenanigans and then an very decent Empire Strike Back dogfight with good music like i said. Still no Thrawn.

In the grand scheme of things, this show might end up ranking lower than Bobba Fett due to it being all over the place as far as story and god awful runtime.

I feel that i should stop right now and binge watch this trainwreck on a weekend so that i am not so pissed off at the end of each episode. I am thinking about it... really hard in fact!… Expand

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

It's too early to tell about "Ahsoka," but it is a step up from "Boba Fett." In episodes 1 and 2, there were some great scenes, but also scenes with a strange amount of dead air. A tighter edit would help. It does bother me that being impaled by a light saber is no longer fatal or apparently much of a problem at all. And why is there so much wasted empty space on Ahsoka's ship? On the Millennium Falcon, every inch of space seemed to have a reason for being.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly don't get the hate the show is getting. Kinda looks like we have reached the point, where everything Disney does, is met with hate, which is quite understandable looking at their track record. After 3 episodes I'd say, it is not as bad as e.g. Obi Wan, or Boba Fat, but it is not genuinley good either. Another mediocre show with potential in both directions.

What works for me: The main cast, I think, everybody does a decent job so far. The slower pacing, reminds me a lot of old western movies, or samurai movies (but I get that action kiddies these days rate shows by explosions per minute). Some of the cgi and effects, I think, everyting in space looks awesome. Most action scenes, I have seen a lot worse fight scenes and lightsaber battles, especially in Star Wars. The new villains, suffienctly creepy.

What does not work for me: The map as a plot device, I kinda have an idea what it is ment to be (migrational paths of space whales) but the very idea that there is a specific map to Thrawn is dumb. Thrawn as the savior of the empire, he is gone for many years, is there not a decent officer left in this galaxy? The other part of the cgi, it is funny how one episode you can see some of the best right along some of the worst. The costumes look wrong and very very cheap. Yet another lightsaber wound survived without trouble, this gets borderline stupid, the blade is probably hotter than the surface of the sun. How borderline stupid the new republic is.

What I honestly don't get is people complaining about the female centric cast. Nobody complained about that on Rebels. I have the feeling, these days dudes will complain about too many girls in lesbian porn :D… Expand
