Star Wars Ahsoka (tv series)

Yes, he's good at manipulation, and she's weak for falling for it. Not weak in a "our heroes have flaws" way, but weak in a "I'm supposed to admire this idiot?" way.
 
Yes … if a Jedi, Sith, or other "Force-wielder" could make unlimited use of something like the "Force Dash" we saw in TPM, why wouldn't they? The fact we see it rarely, and then only in spurts, makes it clear to me that they can't use it all the time.

SSB

My take-away is that while you can tap into the Force's unlimited power, your physical body can only maintain the stress for so long. It would depend on the species, their metabolism, and their training. One of the reasons that Sith practitioners "age" or physically deteriorate so quickly is because of the enormous toll that using the dark side places on their bodies, correct?
 
Just watched episode 4. I really don't know.
Seems like we are sitting through a fan film that had a better budget than most.
I hope this gets a bit more interesting.
 
When Morgan's droid was looking at the coordinates locking in at his console, I can't help but imagine him saying "Chevron 3 is holding... Chevron 3 is locked in place!"

Episode 4, I gave up all my hopes. The stunt choreographer and director for the Baylan Ahsoka fight should look for another job. It was so bad I could almost hear them counting. Eh, I don't even want to rant anymore. This show is just simply bad.

who would you have changed? is this fight worse than vader vs obiwan in ANH? just putting some perspective.
 
Absolutely. But as you acknowledge later on, the characteristics of a lightsaber are different than that of a real-world sword...



The thing is, we have to establish just how powerful a lightsaber is, what kind of damage it can do, and stick to that standard.

A plasma sword that can cut through a passing starfighter, with only the strength of the wielder propelling it, as well as bracing it against the momentum of the fighter, has to have a serious amount of power in it. It must be emitting TONS of energy. We know this because if Ahsoka tried to cut that ship with a metal sword, it wouldn't have done a thing because obviously she couldn't possibly have the physical strength necessary to cut it with one. No one in Star Wars could. So, if a lightsaber can do that, it would surely be devastating to stab someone with it just by virtue of the intense heat it radiates.

I'm not asking for realism here. As Drinker said in his video, applying real-world physics to a lightsaber would mean it could possibly vaporize a person that was hit with it. I think we all agree we wouldn't want that to occur on-screen as it wouldn't be very cinematic. I don't even have a huge problem with being able to cut a ship's wing in half (Though that scene was poorly conceived and executed). But, a weapon that can do that should be deadly in a stabbing situation as well. Sabine should be dead. If your intent is to keep her alive, then have her receive a grazing wound instead. All these characters surviving what should be fatal blows not only diminishes the impact of lightsabers as other-worldly weapons, but it also removes tension because a lightsaber fight doesn't have to end in death anymore. That's my take anyway.
There are differences between a lightsaber and a real sword but they're the same in that a thrust is different from a cut. Sure, lightsabers can cut like nobody's business, but just because they can cut so well doesn't mean that they'd equally devastating in a thrust. Yes, you'd be creating a nastier hole than your average steel sword, but all straight thrust is going to to is create a hole the size of the lightsaber's blade. If you don't hit any vital organs, the person you've stabbed isn't going to instantly die. To do the same kind of damage stabbing/thrusting with a lightsaber as you can cutting, you'd have to do more than just a straight thrust. To do devastating damage thrusting with a lightsaber you'd have to draw the saber after you've stabbed your opponent, then you'll be doing damage like you would with a cut.
 
Except for spaceship scenes nothing but the same old Disney dreck. Why is it so hard to write an exciting story. All that money and they still can't find decent talent. Maybe AI is the way to go. Don't think the robot overlords can do any worse.
Hey hey hey….

They can’t do worse… but some of us need the food on the table that they don’t.

And props on the shelves.

Don’t bow to AI just cuz Filoni’s toon wars sucks. Heh.
 
I tried hard! I want to like stuff!

But this star war is getting so big I’m just kinda out. And while I’m glad people love their Filoni, it’s not gelling with me. I don’t find his world interesting.

If I get through this finally, I may change my mind at the story’s outcome, but I really should get other stuff done instead of forcing myself to hit play on Disney plus!

I can’t watch Ahsoka, I have a sink of dishes! (Jokes!)

But I should use my time better to work - if Filoni can get his own universe made to play with, ANYONE CAN! (Jokes! Sorta!)

But it does make me appreciate what I do love more

Give me the Original Trilogy, Andor, and TFA (in that order) and I’m golden.
 
Episode 4, I gave up all my hopes. The stunt choreographer and director for the Baylan Ahsoka fight should look for another job. It was so bad I could almost hear them counting. Eh, I don't even want to rant anymore. This show is just simply bad.
4 episodes is a fair shake, so if you arent enjoying it at this point its probably not your thing, which is okay. We all prefer different things.
 
Okay, caught up on all the comments, and I have a theory about Anakin: He's definitely not a Force Ghost, and I think that really is the real Anakin, not some other kind of magical manifestation.

Imagine Anakin in the midst of the Clone Wars, encountering a temple on some planet between CW episodes, and finding his own way into the World Between Worlds, kind of like Ezra did. Surely the "Chosen One" shouldn't find it too hard! Then as he's learning how it works, he uses it to save Ahsoka, like Ezra did (this was mentioned above).

So maybe what we are seeing here is Anakin from the past? And he may have to somehow cut himself off from the WBW in order to help Ahsoka?

I think he did a couple jump turns back to back,maybe take that down to one turn is all I would change. I thought he was awesome. Really amped up the rage and presence at the end of the Ahsoka fight. There is no wavering, he acts with no indecision. Loved his “for a higher good” line when reasoning with Sabine.

I am loving the duels, the lightsabers seem less like neo pixels here and look a ton better.

Loved it to hear “snipps” and so good to see him back. One of my favorite Disney wars productions is the behind the scenes making of Obi Wan that had a ton of Hayden and Ewen interactions.

I would definitely go see episode 5 in Imax if I lived near one of those cities.
Sounds like Usagi Pilgrim s hype is only getting bigger…. And I am here for it.
 
Yeah I def think there could be more to this “Anakin” than meets the eye, given the musical cues at the end.

And regarding Ray Stevenson, I agree! I still can’t unsee him almost being a Vader from another multiverse!
I still cant tell if his saber hilt is dark or if its just lighting. His tunic also looks like two different colors, which Im chalking up to lighting.
