Star Wars: Ahsoka [Disney+]

ep.6 🤯👏

..

Enjoyed episode 6, Ray Stevenson was excellent again. The episode felt a bit over before it got going.

Enjoyable episode, but I really feel Mikkelson was a poor choice. Thrawn in the books is consistently depicted as being a dedicated warrior, in fighting shape at all times. Mikkelson looks like an overweight Elon Musk cosplayer in blue paint. His hair looks terrible, like a character from a cheap kids show. Nit picky perhaps, but I found it very jarring.

I found his mannerisms didn't really convey Thrawn's detached and calculating persona. His decision at the end with respect to the other characters didn't fit with how he's been portrayed previously. He's not shown to be needlessly cruel and vindictive.

I have to be honest, the reliance on having needed to have watched the cartoons has been a real drag on this show. They're making such little effort to accommodate those who haven't watched the cartoons.

Sabine could have stopped them from ever being able to find Thrawn, but decided to help them so she could find Ezra. She goes off on a planet in an entirely different galaxy to find him if he's even still alive, knowing she might be stranded there forever. She eventually finds him, after presumably 20 years or so, and their reaction is barely a step above "Ah there ya are, what's the craic?"

They showed basically zero emotion. Are they just friends? Were they in a relationship? Ezra is so important to her that she puts the entire galaxy at risk and they hug like cousins leaving a family wake.

Thrawn I can give some leeway to. He's not had a chance to show why he's so dangerous and important to the Empire. But for people who haven't watched the cartoons, the relationship between Sabine and Ezra makes so little sense that she would give Thrawn an opportunity to return just to have Ezra back. If they're just friends, Sabine is the biggest idiot in both galaxies. If they're more than that, that hasn't come across at all in the show and is being written and performed poorly.

His last decision is to give orders to that effect.

For me, he lacks the physical presence. Jason Isaacs or Mark Strong with be a better fit imo

Definitely I think been hints all along that will happen

That's the point I'm making. He's sending a squad to kill them, despite there being no obvious threat from Ezra or Sabine

The Force Awakens is set 30 years after Return of the Jedi, so 25 years from Ahsoka to TFA.

So not sure if anyone cares as it might just be an actor getting a fun role in star wars or it might be more to the role but the guard captain with he face mask is someone

One of the Night sister mothers is also a big scifi name but that's more than likley just what it seems

why did he not bother looking for Ezra in the previous 9 years? Sabine finds him in about the guts of 2hrs on the back of a wolf !!

6: Oh this getting to be so cool. Really liked the Dark Crystal vibe 🙂

Me last episode: Wouldn't it be nice if Filoni

Filoni this episode: How about I raise you with a

Fair. Very Fair 😀

OK I have never seen Rebels. Can someone who has explain to me why Ezra is so important and if he is why is both he and Thrawn stranded in this other Galaxy and if Thrawn has a Star Destroyer Why is he stranded?

How did the Star Destroyer get to this other Galaxy if even at hyperspace it would take a long time to get there?

a Disney Wolf horse and space whales spin off in the pipeline no doubt
