Extremely boring to watch. Most of the time the plot is around Sabine and not Ahsoka.
Another boring and predictable show that relies entirely on nostalgia bait (Hayden Christensen cameo).
No interesting dialogue at all, it looks cheap and mostly plays on barren planets again.
I like the show so far, but what's with the editing?
Why do they have so many long pauses during a dialog?
A: We need to do x.

It's putting me off :sweat_smile:
It's really bad. The writing is terrible. Even my tween daughter was making fun of it making comments like "why is Ashoka afraid of Sabine turning dark? I thought Jedis aren't afraid." And "Why is Ashoka lighing her saber first? That goes against everything in the original triloty of Jedis not attacking" . Yeah I have been a fan of Star Wars since seeing the first one in 78, so maybe I am just too old for this, but it doesn't feel like star wars at all. Thrawn was great in those Heir of the Empire books, but he was so weak and not convincing in this series. The lightsaber fights have gone from masterful sword fights to dance routings. I don't know... pretty disappointing. I hate how they keep changing and cheapening the whole force/ jedi thing too. and there are too many modern tropes that they cannot get away from in modern Star Wars movies - particulatly how there has to be a weird light saber and there has to be a differnet stormtrooper. I guess in this case, zombie stormtroopers. ugh...
I have Star Wars fatigue.
so boring, couldn't get into this
Ahsoka is :sleeping_accommodation::sleeping::sleepy:
Many characters are a little unbearable and they rarely remind me of the ghost crew. Shame. Rebels was very good. This show seems lost already.
Sooooo the force is female, jedis are female, lightsabers are female, jaba the hut is female, Darth vader is female, skywalker is female, solo is female, obi one is female, Naboo is female, Tatooine is female, tauntaun is female, ewok is female and so are these series Rate:1/10
I have never once commented on any show ever in my entire life, but reading all the hate on here is just mind blowing to me I can guarantee not a single one of these comment followed the rebels show I mean sure yeah it’s a kid show but it’s also a huge expansion of the Star Wars universe and this series absolutely did an amazing job continuing it. I could not believe what I was reading. I just kept scrolling and scrolling. Waiting to see someone talking about how great the show is but of the 54 haters on here as I already said not one watched Rebels. if they had, they would’ve absolutely love this series as I did and as I guarantee you, anyone else who followed rebels will also. Feloni did a fantastic job. I was so excited to see that there’s a season two and I must not be alone in my opinion given that they’re going through with production. I hope season 2 is as good as season one but even if it’s not, it will still be great because that’s a pretty damn high bar in my opinion these people are crazy.
Somebody must have liked this story because it was made, right? Yet at the conclusion it feels rather like a damp squib, after an uneventful journey through a dreary 6 hours and fifteen minutes, and I have no one to blame for it but my silly optimism. 'Ronin', by 'eck, that dropped a clanger, though I suppose it was meant as a tribute. Felt very Macbeth at times, and others sucking on Frank Herbert's teat. It started well enough, but just ran out of energy, or should that be Force, and seemed to just be about finding things to fill the screen time, until what I assume was thought a denouement, because if it is leading me to a second outing, I'm not going to fall for it again. I shall look forward to more Andor instead.
Mediocre show, Rosario is awful as Ahsoka and Winstead doesn't fit Hera Syndulla at all. Story is very predictable unfortunately.. I was so looking forward to this, dissapointed.
I've been a massive, and I mean MASSIVE, Star Wars fan since I can remember, however I couldn't even watch this. I tried. I tried so hard, but it is just so boring, and horribly written. Rosario Dawson's acting is mediocre at best, and she doesn't fit the role of Ahsoka what-so-ever. Such a huge disappointment!
Wow, what terrible acting and storylines. It's like they throw darts at the episode plot board and just riff on what they hit.
With every Star Wars spinoff Disney demonstrates their acceptance of mediocrity in entertainment. Each spin off uses the leftovers from the previous shows as set pieces and everything is just lower and lower production value with more talentless actors and bad writing.
Mando set a gold standard in the first two seasons, Fett was OK but felt forced, Obi Wan didn't really land and Ewan couldn't resurrect it, Andor was slow and recycled too many previous Star Wars sets and now Ashoka is just a sad attempt at another spinoff, of which there seem to be a limitless supply of. With Ashoka it seems like they are trying to break the "one season special" formula and make it a slow burn to run for multiple seasons.
Disney is grasping at anything to keep their failing streaming service (and frankly, their failing corporation) alive.
As I write this I realize how much Star Wars has been spun off, especially if you include Solo and Rogue One. Disney got their hands on the franchise and turned it into a giant cash grab which worked for a minute but is watering down a beloved franchise more and more with each spin off.
Corny dialogue, uninteresting characters, extremely predictable writing
The Ghost Crew. In live-action. My oh my!
The series starts kinda ok, but gets progressively dummer every episode. Especially every scene Sabine is in. In the end, what started as a chance to redeem these past few trash disney released, is a massive disappointment.
The reasoning behind most of the dialogs is soooo off, it makes me hurt. Like the episode where ahsoka "confronts her past"... Omfg. She talks as if she was chatting with a nice person... Not a mass murderer, with such dispicable acts in the past, right after the point she directly cites in the episode... The "you've done well" on the last episode gave me head ache. the whole series is the exact opposite of "you've done well", especially to the person that that is being said to, which practically every move has just made everything worse the whole season. There are sooo many examples of ridiculous reasoning, dialogs, and planing in every episode that I could write a book with them. Oh they already wrote it... It's the show script.
It gets really hard to justify any choice they make after a certain point. This is the most annoyingly and badly thought I've ever seen since obi wan.
I wish there was an unwatch button so I could forget this shit ever existed.
Oh, and if you came for the fighting scenes, forget it.. it's laughable how badly they make it. They're mostly like that Rey+Kylo fight scene after snoke's death, a bunch of useless moves and people faking attacks against an invisible enemy in the background, and the duos are horrible, uninteresting, and very bleak. Not to mention that light sabers have now turned into wood sticks. People get hit by it and most of the time it doesn't mean anything with a few exception.
The most interesting part of the whole series, baylan and shin, get literally thrown into the sidelines.
I haven't been catching up with star wars lately since Disney ruined it with the new trilogy and some of those aweful shows, and it seems I'm right. Not gonna waste my time on a second half assed and poorly written season for this excuse of show. The mandalorian is badly writen and full of coincidences but at least it has charm and good acting... this is just bad.
btw, what the f*ck happened to Rosario? You know when you asked to get fired and you're on your last day in the company... it's exactly how she looks the whole show... booored as hell, uninterested like no other.
And common... The whole thing with "the ones"... as half-assed as the whole series plot.
Gave it a chance and still trying after 3 episodes but I do not know what I am watching is this Star Wars or some ripoff… sorry but I am not saying it is bad but it is also far from good… it is somewhat different or maybe I expected more. Maybe the story is off or the cast(ing)
[Disney+] A fan service that is as effective for "Star Wars" fans as "Andor" was for non-fans. There is a display of references to the films in the saga that is sometimes excessive, and on many occasions they provide little more than an attempt to please the fans. Obsessed with laser sword fights, which appear in each and every episode, Dave Filoni offers an entertaining but superficial series, which indulges in homages but doesn't seem to contribute anything new or particularly consistent to a saga that is exhausting.
Decent 8 hours of entertainment but yet another Disney woke ass series that’s filled with nothing meaningful. And oh yea, they have witches, papa Smurf, and zombies.
Ok, this is just stupid. Fear the Walking Dead Stormtroopers. Everything and I mean EVERYTHING about this episode was a complete shit show. This show is just an extension of the Willow TV show with lightsabers. A Reminder, it was canceled!!!
This show is boring and very disappointing, but I guess it does continue the weird lore changes/additions that I do not agree with or enjoy. More Andor, please! This show reminds me a lot of the canceled Willow show.
more tripe from the Disney AI machine. awful greenscreen acting, childish storylines, bloated episodes and padding aplenty. other than basement dwelling man-children, who exactly is clamouring for more Star Wars? the IP has been run into the ground; time to let it die with the little dignity it has left
When Star Wars delves into Jedi storylines they become wooden and trite, just appealing to some sense of shiny splendour with regard to pleasing expectations of form or trope. Repetition therefore becomes highly likely. Along with this characters sometimes have to be referenced in CGI, and this is often badly executed, which makes the job of suspension that much more problematic. The story itself seems cobbled together on some rainy autumnal evening after several beers, then filtered through chains of production, direction and editing to make it as rudimentary, and as linear, as possible. Andor remains the benchmark, and as long as shows like this one are produced then it will safely remain so.
I've binged them up to episode 6, and I still don't really care about what's going to happen. Deep diving in SW mythos (after watching the film in 77 I did have a fascination so read the novelisation and loved the pop music that came out around in its wake, as well as the sci-fi explosion this caused in late 70s tv and film production) has never appealed to me, it was just a good film to watch in the 70s for a kid, and this broadly remains so, and if you played with kits and watched the cartoons even more so for older kids in their 30s and 40s.. but this kid demands more depth, and more grounded threat in the everyday, and not grand cosmological samurai conflict. As background to story, it's ok, but centring on it without another plotline or two makes for a very A to B experience, like assembling a model from a guide, with no thought of, "What if I used this piece instead, and see where it takes me."
Those who watch the cartoons may think this a wonderful evocation, and some people don't like this because of the actors chosen, or their performance. I'm not concerned with that at all. It's the state of the execution from the written page to the day of the shoot.
Star Wars always leaves a bad taste in my mouth when I see it poorly done. I have an innate wish for it to do well, though I don't really know why, as the obsession isn't there. It's just such a large potential canvas, and it remains, on the whole, trapped within the same timelines, periodizations, and character forms. It needs a breakout that carves new space, where it can create afresh.
unfortunately, already here too.
Only criticism. As if people only respond to criticize anymore. It's just a nice series. Neet it is not the best. But it's not the worst either.
so far so good, with great potential, giving it 9 from the first two episodes.
A lot of technology and the first movies are a lot better of the new ones
People expecting "The Mandalorian" level characters and development, (and budget) are going to be deeply disappointed in the show.
The setup, is deeply tied into Rebels, and Mandalorian Season 3, not leaving a lot for Ahsoka to actually do anything but help other women. This could change in the rest of the Season, and should... But there's signs of Side-Character syndrome. Capable enough to stop the Main Villain, but not enough to have their own relationships or meet key characters. She can't be a Main Character, just like Dinn Djarin of Mandalorian, because they don't exist in the Movies.
Which is why the stories drag, fail and drag on, wasting time. Mixing the 'PG' of Mando/Grogu and the Saccharine 'teenage rebels' in a live-action format.... has strong potential, in someone else's hands.
As a result of this Disney character tampering, Ahsoka is more like a Netflix "Live Action" Adaptation of Star Wars Rebels.
Not the good kind of Adaptation.
The problem is that Mandalorian tends to be a watermark for Quality/Entertainment, which Ahsoka is supposed to be tied into events of S2 and S3 Mandalorian. If you hold your nose over the stench of the 8-year old beaten corpse of Star Wars, it's respectable and probably a suitable sequel for the characters,
but it can't help but appear to be a terrible introduction to the expanding mediocrity of the Disney Star Wars legacy. The Setup/Act 1 introduction, for the first 2 episodes is balancing the characters/plot of a Kids Show, in a semi-adult format. If you think of the show as a mix of Obi-Wan, Boba-Fett, and the ugly half of Mandalorian Season 3 with Lizzo and Jack Black... you'd be close.
IMO A flashback to Ezra would probably have been even better to introduce the conflict of Thrawn/Ezra and allow the audience to create their own mythos / emotions of the characters nobody knows about.
This way, you can bend the story of Thrawn as a capable danger / threat that the "Republic Heroes" can't fight, because they're not prepared. Now you just add the women of Star Wars Rebels into the show, who are basically living in the shadow of Ezra and Kanan. I would have been far more encouraging if Hera/Sabine/Ahsoka were introduced in a more dramatic fashion that allowed each character to be drawn into the story, rather than focusing on the Villain/Threat to elude/deceive and introduce the core plot.
Then you move the exposition into the slow travel between action set-pieces. Especially the time needed to show Sabine's and Ezra's relationship & emotional development you'd need to build that relationship for viewers who haven't seen Rebels, and don't want to.
Respecting time lines of the Star Wars universe, for the Galactic Empire and the Fallen Empire, the Clone Wars, the Rebellion animation shows and the Formed New Republic, all connecting time lines of characters and events from even animations and animated characters and non animated shows as characters attempt, to follow rules of connected time line formations as relations, invested through into the writing, that is admirable, such attempt to follow the logical timelines and connections of events and characters among, must be encouraged ... That's how you try to connect and write a show logical timeline universe, properly...
Without attempted proper writing, no amount of resources invested, would result into anything meaningful, but all be a disregarded watch, in minutes after, due to the writing and inflicted principles, that fail the time frames or violate previous time frame formed rules or their own logic itself...
Great so far. F*** the haters, some people don't know their elbow from their arsehole, so why the hell should their opinions matter?
Could not watch past episode three. This is what Disney has done to star wars, and will probably do to other shows in the future.... Terrible show with mediocre acting, a total yawnfest that the most ardent wars fan will hate.
They could've hired some five-year olds to write the better script. it has the same level of quality as any of other teen Disney tv shows.
I liked the first two episodes just because I like Star Wars spin offs. But I agree with some about writing and for me some of the acting is pretty bad. I felt Mandalorian series is much better. But, I will keep watching!
Okay, people, we get it. A lot of internet trolls hate Disney because they show the world like it is - people with different skin colors, sexual orientations and lifestyles. And they even hate it when their sci-fi universes aren't populated by all-white casts.
You know what? Get over it and don't bother her Est of us with your hate, intolerance and bitterness, okay? Thank you.
I watched the whole series. I enjoyed it. It wasn't perfect so theirs a lot of room for improvement. I wasn't impressed by dawson's light Saber scene's. ahsoka is a savage with a light Saber dawson's portrayal during fights was very mediocre. Really all light saber fight scene's from all actors we're amature at best. Looking forward to season 2 hopefully they improve certain aspects of this show it has potential.
Yes writing is not great but I think a lot of y’all are forgetting about the wga strike going on soooo yeahhhh. Still a show I will stick with and watch as it has Star Wars action and that’s all I care about tbh.
First season is a disappointment, it has nothing to offer to the star wars legacy. I have to confess that space whales and zombie stormtroopers led me to believe that the script writers was definitely high but all the rest was a snooze festival of colossal dimensions. Hope they fix it next season.
Sadly, I'm more disappointed by this show than expected. As some already mentioned, the acting itself is quite poor. I don't believe Baylan his dark side and his Padawan is way too evil to be his apprentice (I mean, he's not evil enough to create such a dark soul). Besides that, Shin's overacting makes her character unrealistic. And why the heck does she wear a Padawan braid? It's a pure Jedi thing, there's no reason why she would want to have one. Also, the "underacting" of Ahsoka herself is confusing, because if you remember her from the animated series SW:TCW and SW:R, her personality seems to have changed way too much, or the actor doesn't catch the character well. One of the few matching portrayals was Thrawn.
Also, there are IMHO too many plotholes in the story, like how to they feed like thousands of storm troopers on a planet in a galaxy far far away? Or what kind of fuel are they using to be able to operate a star destroyer for several years?
Overall, I must say that this show wasn't really entertaining. The best parts were the ones with the references to The Clone Wars and Rebels, and of course Chopper. Yes. Chopper was the best part. Sad but true.
I‘m not a big Star Wars fan but like some of the movies and shows. After two episodes I think I will stop watching that show. It’s kinda boring and slow. My biggest problem with the show is the writing of the dialogues which are just way to short. It’s basically a picture driven show not a dialogue driven show which is nothing for me.
This made me a star wars fan. Yeah I’m super late but I watched the all the tv shows and movies. Now I’m caught up
Man I was so wrong with his. Starting from EP5 with our beloved actor, it was extremely well made. A solid 8/10 for me.
the execution was ok but the story left to be desired + the Sabine characters doesn't feel 'right'
Nah... Keep it to being Ended. Don't do a season 2...it's not worth it. It's just crap and has nothing of interest here.
I don't know who this show is supposed to be about but this is not Ahsoka... I wonder if they ever watched any show with her... How would her character change so much in such a short time... ?
And Sabine and Hera feel wrong too..... ugh
And the fighting scenes look horrible... Maybe they should stick to animations because this is really not worth it... If I hadn't known (and love) Ahsoka already, this show would have ruined her for me ...
ok, now i have to watch the original trilogy again to forget about all this crap
Ahsoka reminded me that I can still fave fun with classic Star Wars and I can still enjoy a full (mini)series that wants to do that. Considering I’ve been watching recent “classic Star Wars” shows only because I felt I had to do it and I watched them while hanging clothes as a survival technique, I’d say it’s an upgrade. Apparently, I don’t need every Star Wars show to be written by Tony Gilroy. To be fair, I think I prefer Andor, but it’s good to know I still like big space adventures, crazy costumes, Jedis acting cool, well choreographed fights, good actors that manage to not be ridiculous while saying ridiculous stuff, epic and touching scenes scored with those three or four themes that I’ve been loving since I was a kid. Also, I admire how they unabashedly decided to create a direct sequel to something that a huge chunk of their current audience probably never watched, but also the smart way in which it’s full of small details that make sense and tell you an interesting, different story depending on if you watched the animated shows, the movies, The Mandalorian, this or that. It’s not perfect, it could easily have been a shorter and leaner thing, maybe even a two hour movie, but when it works it’s quite good and there’s a couple of fights that really made me excited in a way that hasn’t happened since that thing with the red dudes in The Last Jedi. So, I liked it.
4.5/10
Poor
Had so much potential
but just ended up
being a massive waste
of my time.
(Had to Grind out the
Second half of this
Lacklustre season).
Baylan and Shin
were the MVP'S of
the show and were
definitely underused.
only time I cared when
they were onscreen,
They were awesome
and I definitely would have
enjoyed them two in their
own show so much more
than this dragged out
Nonsense.
How can it start so
Right but end so
Wrong.
The hole series was
just an extended trailer
for the movie to come,
that is not acceptable
and a complete piss take.
"I Expect More
Bang For My Buck"
Ray Stevenson and Ivanna Sakhno made this show watchable. Whenever they are not on screen, I couldn't care less.
RIP Ray Stevenson. A strong performance to end on.
Finally Star Wars is encouraged to explore a new galaxy and explore dark magic above the light in addition to bringing interesting characters like Baylan and Shin.
Reasonable enough show IMI, I don't quite get the hate. There are however a lot of negatives. The story is long, nit particularly interesting and not very eventful. Storm Troopers still couldn't hit the side of a barn at point-blank range, Ahsoka and Sabine seem to excel at getting their asses kicked (and not much else) and the characters and development of them is far better where the Empire characters are concerned, the Rebel / Republic side are all pretty limp and boring. The ending is a bit of damp squib too, doesn't make you particularly bothered whether there will be a season 2 which it now seems there will be. Of all the Star Wars series though (most of which have been WAY better than the later Star Wars movies!) this is probably the weakest and neither of the two primary characters (Ahsoka and Sabine) are very inspiring at all and that's being polite.
"Ahsoka" managed to achieve something no other Star Wars show up to this point did - it made me stop caring. I even watched "Kenobi" to the end despite the fact I thought it's bad because I still cared for the characters and/or the universe in general. Not any more.
Those are not the characters I learned to love from "Rebels". Which I went onto a journey with, laughed and, yes, even cried, with. They bear the names but that's where the similarities stop.
It started well, I even gave high ratings, which I now think was my hope for what it might be. But it was painfully obvious this wasn't going to be what I expected. Yes, my fault, I know. It totally fell apart with episode five after which I planed to watch the final three episodes once they are released. I didn't picked it up again. Like I said - I don't care.
And that's worse than hating it.
Finally binge watched the whole series. I went into this with the mindset that has been instilled by all the negative comments, with low expectations. I found that it isnt as bad as its made out to be. its not vastly complicated story or plot. but it fits the premise of what is happening.. for anyone that fell in love with the now non-canon Extended universe as i did. i am glad that Filoni is recanonizing parts Inc Dathomir and Thrawn. Unlike most new shows i didnt pick up on "Woke" idiology or "anti-male" aspects everyone fits into their roles regardless of sex or nationality. could it have been cast better maybe but it did work.most of those characters have been in prominate power since the OG trilogy. so the 3 main characters being female is somthing that would happen naturally. also thrawn isnt weak or incompitent and protrayed excellently. Some see it as fanservice to Rebels and clone wars fans but honestly i didnt feel anything was "out of place" or "over done" it felt like starwars, in its cinematics and look. do you need to have seen clone wars and rebels, yes.. and honestly if you are are star wars fan you have anyway. and if you not .. you probebly not going to just watch this show anyway. now with that being said.. there are some issues that should be addressed... first and most noticable (for me) the new republic Uniforms Ie guards and officers..all look like amature cosplay attempts .. the rest of the outfits for everyone else is fine. Ahsoka lightsaber skills .. dont really feel fluid or natural or impressive.. also thrawns makeup rubs on his white uniform collar.. *a small thing but once seen i couldnt unsee. but honestly 1000 times better than obi-wan.
It was a difficult start but after getting used to the characters I really enjoyed the first season. Really hope there will be a 2nd season or some form of sequel.
:heart:x8
This is a great new Star Wars show. It brings back much of the fun and wonder of the original movies. I love the Ahsoka character - especially her long slow eye movements.
Also - Chopper aka Chop kinda steals the show - he (it)'s a lot of fun.
And one more - also - Zombie Storm Troopers?!??!?
How I rate:
1-3 :heart: = seriously! don't waste your time
4-6 :heart: = you may or may not enjoy this
7-8 :heart: = I expect you will like this too
9-10 :heart: = movies and TV shows I really love!
Incredible story daardoor Not fun and exciting
It's a shame that a certain culture is ruining the Star Wars experience, though I watch everything, it would have been better if it was animated like Clone Wars.
They are trying hard to please star wars fan, trying to tick all the boxes. unfortunately it just doesn't work for me, Ashoka actress not sold, this full women power thing going on (master, apprentice and sith) is pushing it etc.
the biggest problem with this show it is anchored in Disney rebels which most casuals have to rewatch or those who didn't watch are not aware of the story BIG Information Gap from filoni
More maps and i presume they'll be more traps
just wish star wars should return to the good Jedi guys be bad sith straight up star wars are a bit complicated these days..
