Star Wars Ahsoka (tv series)

[Darth Lars]

It's not so much the surviving of a stabbing, but the fact that Reva, the Grand Inquisitor, and now Sabine were all up and running around shortly after with no side-effects!

My dad just had key-hole surgery and on the abdomen and was made to mainly do bed-rest with a little shuffling arond for a couple of weeks.

I had open surgery right there four weeks ago today. My ab muscle got cut and stitched back together, and while I have been up and about since day one, I have weeks left to go before I am able to bend or twist sideways without pain, or lift anything heavy ... yet put on some armour and go to battle.

Some years ago, I had a surgical wound in my abdomen that couldn't close but had to heal from the inside out — more similar to Sabine's wound. It took months to heal.

OK, OK, I know lightsabers cauterise wounds and they had Bacta and pretty slick medical facilities in the Star Wars galaxy, but still ...

Watched the second half of the second episode at lunch. The show didn’t really get any better…

One odd thing I noticed was that Ray Stevenson looks like my grandpa, his apprentice looks like my wife, and Sabine looks like my ex-girlfriend.

Haven't seen it yet, so for the purposes of this post, lets assume it's awesome, best tv show ever.

Except for one detail: The MAP Mcguffin Trope Part MCMLXX!!

It worked very well in Raiders of the Lost Ark if you don't overthink it, and pretty much never again since.

I'm ok with the whole "find the mcgguffin" trope. It's a tried and true staple of the fantasy genre. But the map one is a horrible idea that just refuses to die. It doesn't make sense. "I'm going to a super secret place, but I made a map to it and hid it with clever clues so that my exile will eventually be livened up by visits from plucky puzzle sovers!" New Star Wars just can't let go of this one. I'm still not over Palatines clone revisiting the fallen Death Star with his trusty portable blacksmithing kit, so he could make a knife that, after careful deduction and examination would basically say "check the throne room!"

The fact that there's a map McMuffin in the early episodes of this does not fill me with hope.

Good thing that's not what this map is then isn't it?

Thrawn taken by space whales, space whales travel to mythical place, find map to mythical place

You must do well in the dating space for your ex to look like Sabine. As for me, nobody resembles anyone I know. I have a boring life.

I watched both episodes today. It was, ok. Was a kind of bored through a lot of it. A bit slow in places.
I'll see how the next few episodes are. Something to watch at this point.
Still hands down better than Andor for me though.

Seems they did a really bad job explaining that the map is not necessarily a map to Thrawn, but an ancient map to the other galaxy that the purrgils can travel to. Constantly calling it a map to Thrawn is throwing a lot of people off. But i guess that's some of the baggage that comes with continuing from another show that ended years ago. Feels like some kind of recap of what happened in Rebels would have been in order.

Who?

I think he played an MD in some little known UK show.

That is more prosthetic though, compared to a vital organ wound.

Then again, TBOBF showed us that you can be shot at point blank range right through the abdomen with everything inside instantly cauterized and it can be fixed by a few pistons, a little hydraulic fluid and an access door.

Lucas built an entire galaxy, and then Disney invaded it.

Grandpa:

Wife:

And do I post a picture of my ex? Is that weird? LOL.

It was a good start. No real super gotcha moments stood out yet to me, well except the spoiler below. I was hoping Michael Biehn was going to pop out from behind a blast door and yell "Drake, we are leaving!! " to Mark Royston.

The moved it up to Tuesdays at 6pm PT now.

It is so they make can make 'Tano Tuesdays' a thing.

 

[Kylash]

Better copyright that lol

Disappointed that we are two episodes in and no Bacta Tank…

Does the bacta patch with tubing on Sabine not count?

Give me the whole tank or nothing at all.

I have developed a set of Disney+ Star Wars standards.

He did Huyangs voice in TCW also.

Ok, so far no one has mentioned, at least as far as I can tell, David Tennant. I was shocked when I saw his name in the credits and when I looked it up it said he was Huyang.

So I haven't watched the show. But I was watching Star Wars Explained review and he mentioned the use of the Celtic Triquetra.

Which is kinda weird to see pop up in Star Wars. It's has been used to represent the Trinity in some Christian denominations, dating back to the early parts of the middle ages. But it has its most prevalent use in paganism, neopaganism, and Wicca. Where it's used to represent several things. Including the goddess Morrígan. (Which is sometimes a singular entity and sometimes three sisters.) Other symbols include three moons.

Interesting to note that there is a character who's name is Morgan who is a witch and has a moon tattooed on her forehead.
