Wow. This Episode Was Tough on Production!
Was it fun to sit down and record with my brother? Of course, it was.
But was it fun to edit out all the times the video went black during
recording? Not at all.
Ahsoka Finale & Reflections:
Ahsoka is finally over! Some fans are happy, while others are not. I
understand both perspectives. Now that I'm in season five of The Clone
Wars, I can see the changes in Ahsoka's character development over time.
No longer is she the hot-headed apprentice of Anakin Skywalker. She's
evolving into a Padawan with her own views on the war and the Jedi
Order's role in it.
Her changing perspective becomes clear during the four-episode arc on
Onderon. Here, the Jedi support a local insurgency instead of committing
galactic navy resources to liberate the planet. The show boldly uses
the term "terrorism" to describe the rebels' actions.
Anakin supports the idea of using terrorism to free Onderon, but Yoda
and the Jedi Council reject this approach. Instead, they decide to
supply weapons that only target droids, not civilians.
Ahsoka feels uneasy and isolated, with no master or mentor to confide
in. There's also a hint of romance between her and an ex-Separatist,
adding to her internal conflict.
These nuanced character developments are missing in Ahsoka. I found a
video that criticizes Dave Filoni, and I agree with many of the points
made. The series is best appreciated if you've seen The Clone Wars and
Rebels, as it isn't accessible to viewers unfamiliar with Ahsoka's
story.
The video also compares recent Star Wars shows to Andor, noting that
Andor stands out because it tells a compelling story even without the
Star Wars setting. In contrast, Ahsoka, The Book of Boba Fett, and
Obi-Wan Kenobi rely heavily on established characters and fan service,
limiting their storytelling risks.
Overall, this episode and Ahsoka as a whole were just okay. What did you
think of the show? Did you love it or hate it? In my opinion, the
opposite of love isn't hate; it's indifference.
After watching seasons one and two of The Mandalorian, I felt
indifferent. I didn't watch The Book of Boba Fett until after season
three of The Mandalorian, realizing I'd missed important story elements
that left me confused.
