    I didn’t notice Sabine in the clip I saw, just Ahsoka and Hera(!).

    If the Ahsoka show is basically just a continuation of Rebels, I’d be 100% okay with that.

    Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

    I think the leaked clip I saw ended with the mural.

    Ohhh, the clip I saw cut off right as that mural appeared. I assumed it was a transition, didn’t realize it was an in universe shot. Neat!

    Because we know how things go, presumably his life will be a lot different than book Corran's

    Talon Karrde is the one I'd most like a show about. Just this smuggler slowly building his enterprise up to a galaxy spanning operation with weekly hijinxs escaping the Imperial patrols.

    She was so flat and lifeless in the Mandalorian.

    I hope she fixes that because man that ain't ahsoka.

    Yeah, kinda taken as a whole the arc from precocious padawan in the Clone Wars to stoic jedi in the various Rebel and Mandalorian appearances works pretty well.

    I'm still not particularly fond of Rosario Dawson as Ashoka though when Ashley Eckstein was right there.

    Watching Clone Wars, there's clearly moments where they're highlighting that she really doesn't like how the Jedi do business. That said, i kind of have a hard time getting much attachment to the character since they thought her up just for the show and the film never even hints at her existence.

    Ahsoka is dangerously close to (if she hasn’t already done so) becoming the biggest Mary Sue in all of Star Wars.

    In a series with Luke Skywalker?

    (Not to mention Anakin. And Rey.)

    Luke and Anakin who are incredibly flawed and not perfect? I have no opinion on Ahsoka because I know nothing about her but calling Luke a Mary Sue is a choice. He fucks everything up all the time.

    Ahsoka sure isn't perfect either, she had one job, just decapitate Cad Bane.

    Luke went from driving his car around the acreage to flying a fucking F-14 fighter plane against the most highly trained military in the galaxy in like...three days.

    Ahsoka isn't a mary sue. If there's a problem with her it might at most be that filoni clearly loves that character and can't let go of her. Rebels could've be the capstone to her story. But if he can still find good stories for her, who cares. They did screw up the character design when they translated it to life action though. (I know, for practicality, but still)

    Regarding casting and Kenobi, I would've really liked to see Isaacs as the grand Inquisitor. He just so good at playing bad guys. (Also animated grand Inquisitor looks way mor interesting then life action, but that is really a running theme with all the characters that got converted to life action so far)

    point of order, Luke was given a fighter jet by his uncle that he used to murder rats. that's how he learned to fly.

    The equivalent of having a bi-plane to crop-dust

    Any discussion of "Mary-Sues" in a franchise built on wizard-knights who are the guardians of the galaxy seems real odd to me

    Let the historical record show that cropdusters in biplanes are indeed the exact individuals you want to give an advanced fighter jet to. Especially if it's against a giant, seemingly invincible ship that's shooting giant world destroying death lasers.

    I will say it felt like Ahsoka losing to Vader in that one bit in Rebels seemed like it would've been a pretty excellent end for her character, and would've really upped the pathos of the whole Anakin heel turn. It would've been fitting.

    I don't mind having more Ahsoka cuz she's generally pretty great but so far it doesn't feel like Filoni's really given much narrative reason for her to still exist post-vader fight.

    (and if you gotta keep someone around, shit, lets get ourselves a live action Ventress plz)

    Fuuuuuuuck I'd want a live action Ventress.

    She was such an underrated character in Clone Wars. Like, former disillusioned sith apprentice turned bounty hunter? That's fuckin cool.

    Luke has slow motion vidfeeds of his womprat hunts that he WILL show you ENTIRELY unprompted, unsuspecting womprats suddenly pinwheeling in half due to blaster bolts, ironic cantina music plays over it

    Broke as fuck in the style of the times. Gratitude is all that can return on your generosity.

    Filoni is to Ahsoka as Dini is to Harley.

    also, since it's come up again:

    Luke's a farm punk kid. His entire social circle is other farm punk kids. He drives a beat-to-shit old muscle car that's half grey primer and rust, his main hobbies are backroad racing and varmint shootin', and the coolest guy he knows is the one who left to join the military.

    A fanfic writer on Luke pre-ESB:
    i love writing luke’s tendency to be a feral little man like Yes he’s the savior of the galaxy Yes he’s a pure hearted beam of sunshine BUT he came from a hick town in the Outer Rim with nothing to do but hang out in bars and use ROUSes as target practice AND he shares DNA with anakin skywalker so he can drink Han under the table and thinks traffic laws are a joke send tweet
