This is what a proper review is. Not calling it a masterpiece and calling it a day, nor calling it trash and calling it a day.
Pointing out all the positives and negatives, in detail, explain Why the positives are a positive, and why the negatives are a negative, and having a good understanding of the material you review.

[KiaraChanelArt]

I really appreciate the way that you give GENUINE criticism and give credit where it’s due. Your points are great. They should hire you!

[nwaffles]

Ezra is BY FAR my favorite adapted character from animation, he had such a joyful energy to him. He was perfect. And I loved his force Kung fu

[alpaykasal]

You're SOOO right... showing (a recreation of) the end of rebels would have helped so many viewers!!! I was surprised how much this drew from Rebels (and Clone Wars to a lesser point)... your idea would have likely clinched it. When Sabine is looking upon the mural from Rebels (and in the animated art style), it's reduced to an easter egg. I'm with you Gold Man.

[Mountaintiger]

The problem with Sabine using the force isn’t the fact that she isn’t force sensitive and that George said everyone could use it. It has to do with the fact that Sabine clearly didn’t put in the effort, discipline, or dedication to learning how to use it. I think of force sensitivity as like having a talent in something, it’s like you have a head start to getting to a certain level in that skill, which is why Jedi have to train so much just to use the force. So that’s why I feel it was lazy and stupid to make Sabine able to use the force so quickly when she didn’t put in the effort or training to get there. Example: Luke had to train for a whole year by himself between a new hope and empire strikes back, and that was just to barely lift a lightsaber, and he was the son of Anakin so he was one of the most powerful force sensitives at the time and even he struggled to use it

[roterotemedia]

I think what could have been much more interesting in Sabine and Ahsoka bonding over their shared trauma of being child soldiers thrust into a galactic war from dying faiths and cultures.

[XieRH]

I’m also in the camp of preferring that Sabine was never force sensitive. It feels too much like something that was shoehorned in to create a master-apprentice relationship.

Furthermore it was never implied or hinted at in Rebels. She was in the company of Kanan since the start of the show and he never once did any jedi training with her. This is different from a Anakin, Luke or a Rey who begin their story as an ordinary person with no pre-established media to refer to, so they are a blank slate that can be developed upon, i.e. you can have them discover they are force sensitive and it doesn’t contradict any prior media.

[JacobEricsen]

So Hera disobays orders from Mon Mothma and gets people killed but saved by Leia when she's about to lose her rank as general, but Poe gets slapped in the face?

[brianm]

Dude! 100% agree that they should have duplicated the ending of Rebels as the first scene in Ahsoka.

[machodgdon]

While it had its good and bad moments I haven’t felt this connected to Star Wars in such a long time. Truly felt like the fandom came together week after week

[BunchyPanther]

I loved this show, it’s probably my favorite of the live action series. Seeing Hayden on screen again, thrawn, the fact that Dave still gives Ahsoka amazing character development 15 years later and after 2 series is crazy to me. I’m finally excited for the future of this era of Star Wars again

[joaopedrorosa]

About Thrawn'...

The first problem i believe is that we, since we watched the trailer, knew he would come back. All these tension build around he coming back or not exist only for the characters inside the story. The viewers all knew he would come back, so we expected that he would also be able to do more than that.

Which brings me to the second problem, speaking slowly in a calm tone explaining how he is 100 steps ahead of his enemies doesnt hide the fact the he did nothing great.

He had a star destroyer, an army, 3 nightsisters, two "jedi" mercenaries, air squadrons, bombs and zombies. It was also handed to him Sabine, the location where Ahsoka would arrive and the fact that Ezra was completely out of the game.

With this advantage, at the end, what he manages was to barely escape after losing a considerable amount of resources. Also, the guy who bested him boarded the ship without him having a clue. (I have to believe he didn't have clue, cause a guy so smart couldn't find the spy is laughable. Also, couldn't Ezra end his threat right there??)

The argument made in the final part of the video, that by doing nothing Thrawn is actually defending himself from impossible odds and unthinkable things Jedi are capable of is a poor one at that, let's face it.

[michaelyoung]

There was much that was lacking, and the primary problem that I had was the “Tell-Don’t-Show” that they did with A. Ashoka and Sabine’s backstory interactions B. why everyone is worried about Thrawn and C. Why Ezra is so important

i came around to accepting the casting choice for Thrawn. i thoroughly enjoyed Baylan, and I was very happy with the flashback lessons because clones!!!!
overall, id give Ashoka s1 a 7/10 (the clones bumped it up from a 6)

[DoomDuckGod]

I actually told my wife that I liked how Anakin's lesson wasn't obvious, because it made it really stick with me and made me think about it a lot more. She replied with utter disbelief that I didn’t find it completely obvious because apparently she didn’t have any trouble at all immediately understanding it. Overall, I think that episode was fantastic.

[KnowYourMarvelNews]

Anakin’s lesson to me of “live or die” was layered.

It’s everything that you said of course, but it’s also to choose to live in the sense of someone losing their optimism choosing to regain it. Choosing to have hope, to have attachments, and to enjoy life for yourself that makes saving it for others more fruitful and relatable. The way she was before she found out about Anakin.

Anakin is reminding her of what the Jedi stood for before the war, and how to be peacekeepers.

But I feel like it being vague and confusing and up for debate while also being so seemingly surface level in the simple phrasing of “live or die” is peak Star Wars mysticism

[ryanthomasosullivan]

You hit the nail on the head i think! Showing the "ezra saves lothal" scene at the beginning would have made the entire series feel so much more important & fleshed out. Also would have been a very epic way to start a season. REBELS fans would have adored it & casual fans would have felt more invited into this world. Such a shame these issues weren't recognised when making th show. One of my main problems with the show was stripping Ahsoka of what makes her awesome, especially her jumps & leaps. Was so disappointed she was watered down especially considering her intro in mando S2 was near perfect.

[bernardliquete]

The moment the writers gave Sabine force powers is the most disappointing for me so far. From someone not being able to pick a cup with the force to someone force-grabbing her lightsaber and force-pushing a grown man onto a Star Destroyer without proper build-up, background or foreshadowing, I call horse sh*t right then and there.

Think about it, back in Episode 2, Huyang said that "based on his experience, she (Sabine) had the lowest aptitude for the force". Heck, even in the next episode, Ahsoka even said, "I don't need Sabine to be a Jedi." So what is this, the writers all of a sudden forgot what they wrote a few episodes back and decided to contradict everything? Have they written the finale as a separate piece because that's how they wanted the show to end?

Some "fans" have pointed out that Peridea is a force nexus planet as the reason as to why Sabine was able to use the force. If that were the case, Ezra should have been more powerful than he should, since in an episode, he said "the force is all I need" but no, the writers made him use a blaster, got his ass kicked once by Shin and instead of leading, he was following Ahsoka's orders and plans all throughout.

Sabine being able to use the force in the finale was like the real life equivalent of "an individual with no musical aptitude, with only one week-worth of piano training, was suddenly put as the lead pianist on an orchestra, then suddenly performs like a musical prodigy because the situation demanded him to". In the realm of screenwriting, it sounds like a plot contrivance just to drive their story around and push it forward.

[WyattKittle]

Ahsoka falls short of greatness by being the furthest thing from it

[lucaswalkthroughs]

8:57 you're actually a bit incorrect. It is implied by baylan ep4. that ahsoka had a part in why sabine's family died, the line was something along "she didnt listen to you"
which could also imply she was learning the force for the4 "wrong reason" maybe to take revenge and for dark emotions ?

[wadubber]

I feel like a lot of YouTubers are only looking at the show in isolation or viewer counts and saying it's a bad show. As a massive SW fan I personally really liked it and this is the first video I've seen where I feel the creator understood Ashoka in its context of a larger story.
