Ahsoka (Star Wars Disney+ Series)

[MisterPenguin]

Maybe the scooter gang from The Book of Boba Fett will show up.

I guess the scooter-haters didn't mind the painted-up scooter* Sabine was riding with the rock music in the background...

Dave Filoni will take everything haters hate and make it tolerably canon!!


*As an artist and graffiti tagger, it's totally in line for Sabine.

No hyperbole that was the worst thing I’ve ever seen in live action SW.

and yes, that includes the two Ewok made for TV films and the holiday special

Which reminds me! Being the baddie chick is now a nightsister, to FULLY understand and appreciate Ahsoka, one must now watch the second Ewok movie Battle for Endor. The bad witch in that was retconned years ago to be the first appearance of a nightsister. So, go watch it!

How the heck did it go from 93% for the first couple of days to 88% overnight?

A lot of people didn't watch it on Tuesday as all the hardcore fans (more prone to like it). The general audience will slowly mellow the score over the week into the weekend.

I had no issue with not seeing full seasons of Rebels. I knew enough basic info going in. What REALLY concerns me (and it's probably the two most important issues) are the pacing and the dialogue. The pacing was slow. It's as if they want to stretch it out to 8 episodes because people complained about 6. But by doing so, it made things very difficult to sit through in spots. But then again, I felt the same exact way about Andor and even some of Mando. As for the dialogue-wow-that needs to REALLY be cleaned up because if feels like a first draft.

It will HAVE to pick up or this is gonna be rough!

 

[MoonRakerSCM]

For me the roughest part was the episode partially revolving around getting Sabine to figure out the map... being apparently no one else could do it. Her staring at it... and staring at it... and then solving it by literally just rotating the obviously rotating parts of the sphere to line up the obvious lines.

A droid analysis on the New Republic's flagship couldn't figure that out?

 

[Jedijax719]

Tough pill to swallow at the moment. The second episode was no better than the first. I cannot say it is a bad show, but I will certainly say that I found the pacing to be catastrophically slow so far.

And for the dialogue, did they use AI scripting? Because WOW! Just WOW!

 

[doctornick]

I feel like I might have watched a different show because I didn’t feel like the pacing was slow (other than the temple map scenes that was unnecessarily drawn out).

You don’t like seeing something play out in real time, then seeing Ahsoka user her Force powers to recreate pieces of what you just saw, and then hear Ahsoka question people about what the audience already saw?

"Samba TV reports that the Live+5 day viewership for the first episode of Disney+/Lucasfilm’s new series, Ahsoka, drew 1.2M households.

Disney+ dropped the first two episodes of the Dave Filoni created series on Tuesday, Aug. 22. The second episode clocked 956 U.S. households. Ahsoka is a live-action sequel series to the Dave Filoni executive produced Lucasfilm animated series, Clone Wars, and Rebels, another toon series he created. Ahsoka follows the continuing adventures of Anakin Skywalker’s padawan who turned her back on the Jedi order due to their corruption.

Ahsoka‘s first episode ratings are even with the first episode of the Tony Gilroy created Star Wars series, Andor, which also pulled in 1.2M households over its live+5 day. Andor debuted on Disney+ on Sept 21, 2022.

However, the ratings for Ahsoka episode one “Master and Apprentice” are down from the Live+5 day of Obi-Wan Kenobi which dropped on May 27, 2022 by -50%; that jedi force pulling in 2.4M households. Ahsoka episode one is also down from the first episode of season 3 of The Mandalorian by -29%, that Filoni and Jon Favreau series earning 1.7M U.S. households in its L+5D. The Mandalorian S3 began streaming on March 1.

Samba TV’s research panel includes 3 million smart TVs, balanced and weighted to the U.S. Census across age, gender, ethnicity and household income. Its panel is nearly 100 times larger than Nielsen’s household footprint of 45K homes."

I was also thinking it was tonight, so now we are both sad.

That’s not good…is The Mandoverse experiencing the same fatigue that’s affected the superhero films?

I just don’t think the steam shows have enough length/appeal to build a solid following/fanbase.

It’s also a bit nostalgic of me…but I think Star Wars belongs in the theater.
But you have to be willing to do what’s necessary.

I’ll enjoy the show…but there isn’t enough of “Me” out there

My gut is that's it's not "fatigue" as much as it just is getting too complex for casual fans. I think having to do "research" on backstory to just get what is going on might be a bridge to far for many people. Ahsoka is an odd case in that she is a very well known and liked character among even moderate fans (let alone die hards) but is virtually unknown among more casual SW watchers.

Then again some of the more stand alone Marvel shows - I'm thinking Ms. Marvel for example - haven't done as well as the connected ones so maybe I'm just wrong.

I do think Disney needs to have some non "part of a universe" stuff to put on D+ to counter balance, but they seem determined to strip away all that (e.g. recent announcements about Captain Nemo and Spiderwick Chronicles). They need to figure out their own Stranger Things, Ted Lasso, etc show.

Not to tangent…but it’s gonna take a whole new management to even attempt to try this

I think about 99% of us can agree on this at this point?

Yup. Star wars started the theatrical mega blockbuster. I think without a clear theatrical path, the shows will struggle with that casual fan. Shows are fine, but they would be helped tremendously by a healthy theatrical slate in my opinion. I'll watch this whole show as well as Andor season 2. But I can't say any of my family or friends will. And so far, I'm the only one I know in my circles who has watched it.

Agree it's too much for many. But for me having done some research the complexity adds a lot of depth, and adds an active component to the passive activity of watching. I like a good puzzle in media....
