Idk, it didn’t rise to the level of OG Justified but I enjoyed myself. Holbrook and Ellis were fantastic.

By the third or fourth time the show ground to a halt so they could mourn a character I have zero attachment to (watched Clone Wars but not Rebels), I was like can we please start the show.

What a fun, fulfilling way to do journalism.

I’ve not heard a single person out in the wild who is as hung up on the Ayer Cut as David Ayer. Dude made a movie the studio cut to pieces, it was panned and everyone else moved on with their lives.

something I had to fight for in the past and nobody wanted it,” he continued. “It was this bastard child that I was always trying to put together because they felt like there was a deeper version.

I’m sure it worked fine in the cartoon but that animated mural being in the live action show looked so incredibly goofy. I’d be so pissed if I saved an entire city and they memorialized my sacrifice by turning me into a cereal box mascot.

The problem I’m running up against is that the show seems to want me to know who these people are and their connections and connect to the story through their personal emotional struggles. This isn’t a show about Ahsoka, it’s a Rebels sequel and it isn’t shying away from that.

Whether people took the time to go back and watch Clone Wars and Rebels or not, will still enjoy the show none the less.

Watched all of Clone Wars, none of Rebels. Here’s my take:

You already have a word for the thing you just described: a mob.

anyone who said you could follow this without watching Rebels was lying. OK, “follow” might be the wrong word. It’s not like there’s anything impenetrable

Funny how the people who complain loudest about cancel culture (not a thing, doesn’t exist) are the ones who are never in danger of any actual consequences.

Rather than starting from the character and trying to create a story around them, Ahsoka is using the character as a vehicle to tell a story about something fans have been curious about since Rebels ended in 2018.

I think there are two Star Wars movies that perfectly demonstrate how a prequel can/can’t work depending on where the narrative priorities are.

It’s a hard sell even for casual SW nerds, of which I count myself. I watched all of Clone Wars and tried Rebels but couldn’t make it past S1. So realistically this show should have something for me. But then I read sentences like this and a chill goes through me:

I’m really going to miss the Krakoa era. It hasn’t all been perfect, but I thought ‘ascendant mutant society’ was such a refreshing take that I’ll be sad to see it go.

Can only speak for myself here but it’s less that I need a primer on who Ahsoka is (I’ve seen Clone Wars) and more that Ahsoka has been billed as a direct extension of Rebels.

I’m comfortable with being up to date on the Animated Series and movies, but I don’t feel compelled to watch the Adam West series, Batwoman, Brave and the Bold, etc.

Disney hopes Ahsoka won’t be so impenetrable to newcomers, but that’s basically impossible.

Yeah, the character of Gorr and Christian Bale should’ve been a perfect marriage. That villain could’ve been terrifying - the source material is right there.
