It made sense in a general way, but the stakes weren’t at all clear to me. Without my partner explaining the background or context, I wouldn’t have understood much about the characters’ relationships and motivations.

Ahsoka D+ Show (Spoiler Thread)

I wife has never watched any of the animated series (she hates animated) but has really enjoyed this so far. Sure, I think she would enjoy it more had she watched the animated series, and I keep trying to get her to watch one, but she says she just doesn't like animated (let me also point out that one of her two favorite movies is the Lion King, and I don't mean the live action one).

This is where I'm at.
Filoni has proven he knows how to make a compelling Star Wars story. Give him the keys to the creative kingdom. Absolutely have other filmmakers take the reins to direct stories and bring their visions to life, but let Dave oversee it all to ensure there's cohesion and direction.
This was the most Star Wars series they've produced, IMO. Early Mando is a good western focused offshoot, Andor is a great drama, but Ahsoka encapsulated what Star Wars is to me.
I agree. He is Lucasfilms “Executive Creative Director” so I would hope that he does have his hand in everything like his CCO counterparts, Jennifer Lee, Kevin Feige, etc.

Well to me, the biggest thing we can hope for with Filoni is that he doesn't forget things from other projects. In other words, if he creates a compelling mystery in one story, I hope he makes darn sure that it is explained at some point, and without forcefully retconning too much.

I had fun with this series. I wish we had a bit more Ashoka and less of Sabine, but it's not a big deal, and the parts I loved are probably up there with my favorite things Disney has done with Star Wars. I think my only complaint is the cliffhanger ending. And the reason is, I'm kind of sick of these things ending with the setup for more stuff, which doesn't come for 3 years. And that is the way Disney is handling all their series at this point. Like others said, I want more. Make me wait 6 months? Fine. But years and years is just too much to keep me intrigued.

Undead Troopers first appeared in the Star Wars Legends novel, Death Troopers, as undead stormtroopers infested by a Sith plague dating back to the days of the Old Republic. They were later canonized in the mobile game Star Wars: Commander, as "Death Troopers," through a limited-time campaign released in 2014. The Death Troopers were renamed to "Undead Troopers" in a 2016 limited-time event for Star Wars: Commander, most likely to avoid confusion with the newly introduced elite stormtrooper variant. This confusion was used in-universe as well, with Emperor Palpatine capitalizing on fearful rumors of the undead "Death Troopers" to name the elite black armored variant.

I agree BUT with Luke, Leia, and Han around that time, I find it very hard not to wonder how these events will impact and include those 3. I find it harder to imagine that they would be excluded from these affairs, especially since they were involved in Thrawn in the "legends" books.

It's kind of like any MCU or DC movie. You got to wonder where the big hitters like Super Man, Bat Man, Iron Man, Captain America or the rest of the heroes are when the Big Bad is battling new heroes and about to destroy the world.

That's true, but remember (until they all died or went away), there was always an intention to bring the new heroes into the fold with the old. At least that was the case with the MCU leading up to Infinity War/End game. One has to at least ponder the idea that they are leading to something similar.
The Dark Sisters were introduced in Rebels and killed off.
They'rrrre baaaack.

They were originally the concept art for a Sith Witch in Episode 1.
Later it was revisited for Asajj Ventress. We need to see her in live action. Last we heard she was working as bounty hunter and actually helped Ahsoka on occasion.

So got to watch today. Entertaining and enjoyable. Some really fun characters. But…
like a lot of D+ shows, it was just there. A plot that probably should have happened in 3 or 4 episodes was stretched out to too many and way too much just left unresolved or unexplained for a complete “season”. It’s totally fine to have a cliffhanger but at least have most arcs complete over the series season.
At some point they need to provide entertainment that is actually satisfying and complete for itself rather than being a tease for the next thing.

Baylan should be in any future continuation of this series. They'll hopefully recast as needed for the character.

Who said we won't see Baylan anymore? Where do you get that impression? It's sad that Ray Stevenson passed away. But I can't imagine the character not returning. He has a story to tell. Stevenson's legacy must live on and is presence left a mark for the character to continue. Stevenson blessed us with a gift in that character. They need to see that gift through to fruition.
