Ahsoka D+ Show (Spoiler Thread)

[Sirwalterraleigh]

It's a bit strange for sure since it's Daves characters and he's the one in charge.

Which is what’s so strange? He’s taken such care of the A’s..Asohka and now Anakin…that the others feel more “corporate influenced?
I dunno.

It could be. I'll watch it, I'll like it, but the jury is still out if the average joe is watching or if they will stick with it. I hope they are/will. I'm just not getting that water-cooler vibe from the show. Maybe people are waiting to binge it?

Indications have been it isn’t resonating so much? But maybe the finished product will turn the corner?

I mean…a Star Wars show should probably never lose the viewing war with Suits…
But then again…it’s a world gone mad (too hot)

Though I don't understand why Sabine let Ahsoka leave during the woods. Why not work together to defeat Shin Hati first (they could have done that quickly) then moved on together to get the map?

It's funny because as soon as the droid was like, you should stick together. You always worked better together. I was then like ok, I guess they're going to split apart. Lol, talk about telegraphing what was going to happen.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

You see that complaint a lot in movies. Especially when it's an adaptation of a book. The TV series format has always been praised for being able to add depth that a film just can't because of time.

….mmm huh

The early tom clancy movie adapts were known for that. Red October was a short book…so Jack was wooden but worked.
Couldn’t do it with Harrison paycheck and stripped down screenplays for the others.

Many examples good and bad. What Tony Gilroy (R1 rewrites…if we recall?) did with ludlow’s Jason Bourne character in the first 3 movies was amazing.

With all the theories out there, I don't think anyone had "Nightsister zombie" on their "Marrok is really..." bingo cards.

Also... "Hello, Snips." Although, the ominous use of Vader's theme at the end has me worried that Anakin may not be as benevolent as he seems.

They continue to treat everyone like they’re on a 3rd grade reading level.

That should have been learned 25 years ago.

The OT - even Jedi - didn’t treat people that way.

Unless we get a great twist - unlikely - they went “snoked” with that one.
Dave should know better

Yeah…I think he could be more of a palpatine type apparition…
Excited to see how they let it play. But if you watch the end of the clones wars - 100% Dave - it may provide hints?

I did feel this episode was pretty good and at least moved things along. The conflict for Sabine was was done and understandable.

Though I don't understand why Sabine let Ahsoka leave during the woods. Why not work together to defeat Shin Hati first (they could have done that quickly) then moved on together to get the map?

The problem was episode 3 was nothing. Useless. So it wasted 30 minutes and episode 4 felt rushed.

They keep doing this. I don’t know how many 6 episode series it’s gonna take to learn not to do filler?

 

[MagicHappens1971]

They’re releasing Episode 5 in select (10) theaters across the country.

Ahsoka: "...heir to the Empire."
The Internet: "She said the thing!"

Well I cannot disagree with that. Sometimes I feel they do TOO much to develop character at the expense of engagement.

Well good thing this series is an 8 episode series then....

 

[Disney Irish]

Ep4 was the best yet.

Fight scenes were pretty well executed, better than the other episodes so far.
Great call backs to Rebels.
And the world-between-worlds cliff hanger with Anakin, chefs kiss....

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Well good thing this series is an 8 episode series then....

wow…a whole 8 episodes?

…that changes EVERYTHING

 

[erasure fan1]

Well I cannot disagree with that. Sometimes I feel they do TOO much to develop character at the expense of engagement.

Oh no doubt. Just look at book of Boba Fett. I appreciate that they tried to humanize him and flesh him out. But he was a bad A bounty hunter shrouded in mystery that looked awesome. That's what everyone fell in love with.

If its only 1 episode out of 8 that is filler, well that is a plus in my book.

I would agree overall more episodes would be better to provide better backstory and better pacing. But such is streaming shows, Stranger Things for example has an average of 8 episodes per season including some filler episodes. So its not just the Marvel/SW D+ shows that have seasons with limited episodes that include filler episodes.

…so then i’ll put a “cancel” on that earlier gotcha?

I want the series to be good…and I’m worried they’re gonna not complete the story arc…whatever it is?

And I’m not insulting the blessed, infallible Disney for the brief seasons…

They all do it.
They all also tend to suck and are making the same mistakes. It’s a Hollywood thing…

Losing $300 mil on Indiana Jones and $80 mil on the little mermaid??

THATS a Disney thing

That ended up being pretty much garbage.

I could also have done without the “leia…brought to you by playskool” too

Hey! I actually liked The Adventures of Young Leia (Obi-Wan) series.

Boba Fett, not so much, it was just "ok".

Hey! I actually liked The Adventures of Young Leia (Obi-Wan) series.

I liked the series…but that whole storyline was really forced and pretty pointless. They should move on and let Carrie fisher go

Boba Fett, not so much, it was just "ok".

It was kinda awful…with cameos
