Star Wars Ahsoka (tv series)

[Psab keel]

If Star Wars is for kids, why are the vast majority of fans middle aged men? Why are they spending thousands of dollars on exact props from what you claim is a kids show? Swap the franchise to Telletubbies and how creepy does this whole thing become? Maybe it's not smart to equate your adult obsession with a franchise "made for kids."

Asking other people to stop using logic or pointing out inconsistencies because it ruins your enjoyment of the story, perhaps you need to really ask why it upsets you so much? I thought this was a discussion thread? Is this what fandom has become? Don't think. Just consume.

I say you're a weedy pigeon and you can call me 'Susan' if it isn't so!

I don't think any one was asked to stop...those of us who like Ahsoka and put it in what we feel is the proper perspective are merely defending our viewpoints.

Please, discuss away! As will I!

BTW, Star Wars is for kids because George Lucas said so.

It's not that as much as the same thing these threads always turn into...

People that hate a restaurant but continue eating there just to complain about the food, the service, & the owners that bought it & ruined everything! Can't wait to go on Yelp! & Karen to everyone.


Whatever... So many have been the 'Star Wars Guy' in their little world of influence so long, & have spent so much time & money on the franchise, they think they have the obligation/authority to have the franchise answer to them.

We spend a lot because we saw it when we were kids, that shouldn't be hard to understand. George made this a family show but targeted for comming of age kids. He has said it numerous of times as well as Dave Filoni. We keep watching because it's nostalgic, we want to share it with our kids etc.

This is a FANTASY show not a Sci-fi. So logic will not make perfect sense.

So... a lightsaber can cut a ship in half now but can't kill a person?

That's because cutting and stabbing are 2 completely different things and being very good at one or the other doesn't mean that they do both equally well. Take a rapier, a weapon that was (usually) that could be used for both cutting and thrusting but was more optimized for the thrust and could not deliver particularly devastating cuts. On the opposite end of the spectrum you have some 17-19th century sabers that could deal very nasty cuts but were very ineffective at that the thrust due to the extreme curvature of their blades.

Just because a lightsaber doesn't have edge geometry and has a completely round blade shape doesn't mean that just because it can slice through a starship that a thrust will do anything more than poke a hole in its target. If a lightsaber cut worked on a principle of exploding anything solid it comes in contact with and cutting is accomplished by a series of explosions then a stab from a lightsaber would be absolutely devastating. But we've been shown time and time again that's not how they work cutting with a lightsaber is done by essentially burning through material as you pull the blade in a given direction. This means that performing a thrust it will burn the area it comes in contact with but if you don't do a cutting motion with the blade it's not going to be doing anything more extreme than putting a nasty hole in its target.

Because we never grew up! Duh!

In reality good fairy tales are timeless, ageless.

Great Lewis quote!

My favorite of his is, "When I was a child, I spake as a child, but when I grew up, I put away childish things, INCLUDING the fear of looking childish."

Maybe they weren't using Duracells..

 

[guabe]

So any predictions for todays episode?? I think we will see the fights shown on the trailers and will be left with a clifhanger of the eye of sion jumping thru Hyperspace.

Yeah... I think tonight's episode will be the end of 'what we know'. All the rumors I've heard speak of EVERYTHING changing after episode 5, which will be next week. I've heard everything from it changing what we know from the past or future of SW, to it changing the entire franchise forever. I'm thinking it's probably the big Anakin episode.

yeah 5 is another Filoni directed so this will possibly feature anakin.

I think I knew this, but was just reminded. There's a show coming on D+ this Friday, Sept 8, called 'MASTER & APPRENTICE: A SPECIAL LOOK AT AHSOKA'.

Most likely a refresher on her relationship to Anakin to prepare everyone for next Tuesday.

Your posts today are some huge hype. Had not heard any of that officially but I suspected it and I am not surprised.

Not to wish the show away too fast but I want it to be episode 5 now.

 

[Treadwell]

Usagi, you just spoiled next week.

 

[Psab keel]

Spoiler: MAJOR SPOILER Don't say I didn't warn you.

Anakin Skywalker BECOMES Darth Vader!!!

 

[Usagi Pilgrim]

Usagi, you just spoiled next week.

I'm sorry. I've just seen everything I've posted today in trailers, several of which I've seen today. The Anakin thing has been in trailers & even discussed here, so I didn't realize it was not common knowledge. The fact it could be episode 5 was based on speculation & what's been said in interviews.

 

[sapper36]

I just want to hear Hayden Christiansen call Ahsoka "Snips" Please just once! LOL

 

[Joek3rr]

So does anyone have screenshots of the cabinet full of lightsabers? When Ahsoka is training Sabine. Kinda surprised nobody has brought those up.
