I like Ray Stevenson. Who was utterly wasted (along with the actors who portrayed the other two members of the Warriors Three) in the third Thor film.

It's scary how much of this looks like the animation. Outstanding.

First 2 episodes are really good. I didn't watch "Rebels" but I felt like I didn't have any trouble following the story. Overall, it felt like peak Star Wars and I'm looking forward to the next episode.

Very good impression of the first two eps. I also haven’t seen Rebels but don’t feel like I’m lost or missing anything meaty.

Myself I havent watched that much of Clone Wars, even less of Rebels. In saying that, I did enjoy of what I have watched so far. One and a bit episodes. I have to agree with Grandmaster, it lacked a certain punch but still decent nevertheless. A bit disappointing though because Filoni directed the pilot. Not sure how much of the rest he is doing.
I thought Sabine being a rebel like that was really cliche ie the spacebike. I wasnt aware that she was trained in the jedi arts but I think she did have the darksaber for a time if im not mistaken in the animation? Is she also force sensitive? Didnt like the color of the crawl but thats a personal thing lol. Thought Sabine being stabbed so fast was a bit much-no one thinks she's going to die in the pilot lol. Drama for drama's sake..not needed..
I did watch one of the clone wars episodes or it couldve been Rebels. Dont remember now. Anyway it was an episode where Maul, his brother and witches were involved. I think they were called Nightsisters or something?

I have no context to get importance to the show but she’s not named Ahsoka so I thought it’d be the old ‘bring a friend into the mix just to kill them off” trick. Then she didn’t die and it momentarily bothered me…but then I realized anyone not named Qui Gon can survive a lightsaber to the torso and more. I assume the ‘she’s not ready yet was just to allow her the moment of donning her mandalorian armor and cutting her hair. But overall a promising start. **I also gave the first two episodes of Secret Invasion very high marks tho so again, I’m trying not to get ahead of myself.

I just watched the inaugural episode of "Ahsoka," and I find myself straddling that fine line between intrigue and hesitation about the show. Admittedly, I've only gotten around to watching one of the two episodes released (and part of the second), and while I am reasonably familiar with "The Clone Wars" series, my knowledge of "Rebels" isn't as extensive. Ahsoka Tano is still somewhat enigmatic to me.
While "The Mandalorian" effortlessly channels the spirit of a classic western, with Din Djarin embodying the gunslinger archetype, "Ahsoka" doesn't have as clear a throughline. It's challenging to pin down the essence of the character. She often appears to echo the vibe of a Kung Fu-themed wandering warrior. Other than an obsession with the Admiral and past associations with the Jedi, I don't understand her stake in the story. She is not a very focused character to me.
The supporting cast, unfortunately, hasn't made a significant mark either. I found the character of Sabine weak and annoying. The General seems to hold that title in name only.
Ahsoka, while showing promise, has left me with tempered expectations. The character seems in need of a clear direction. Is she a mentor in search of a protégé, or a pupil seeking guidance? The constant duality of her being a Jedi and yet not quite a Jedi has always perplexed me.
I don't know if anyone else feels this way, but Rosario's portrayal of the character seems a bit flat and unexpressive. She was way more engaging in the Mandalorian.
I'm mainly going to keep watching for Ray Stevenson (RIP) and his apprentice Ivanna Sakhno. They're both great.
Need to catch up with the Champions for their take.

Thing is the ship was right there, it also probably has some medical tools to reduce the injury (adequate enough to get to a medical facility in time). However I thought the scar was a bit silly lol. As if the tech at that time couldnt remove/heal something as simple as that

Oh I completely forgot about his passing. Damn. Also I have to agree somewhat-Dawson seemed stiff in her portrayal. The pilot opening was awesome re the "black jedi". Not clear for now whether they are Sith or not. {Spoiler} Then there was suddenly an inquisitor perhaps?

I watched the third episode last night, and I was pleasantly surprised. It's a good episode - compact with great action and decent pacing, and the drama seems to be coming into focus nicely. Outside of some weird pivoting, as one might do when playing a video game, the starship battles were impressive.
That said, Dawson still seems strangely stilted and uncharismatic. While exceptionally well choreographed, her fighting technique lacks, sharpness, emotion, and force. I think she's concentrating too much on getting the moves perfect, and not emoting as much as she could or should. It's the acting, above all else, that makes saber sequences so awesome for me. Even in moments when the situation is urgent, she can't seem to summon the needed gravitas as the show's lead.
Don't think, Rosario! Feel! We need "emotional content."
I'm also having a weird issue reconciling the hyperactive movements of the animated version of these characters with their noticeably more lethargic live-action counterparts. I admit that this is a "me" issue.
Despite my nitpicking, I'm pleased with the show so far, but it lacks the broad mythic quality of shows like The Mandalorian, Andor, and even Obi-Wan. Ashoka feels smaller and more esoteric in the context of Star Wars canon.

I'm mainly going to keep watching for Ray Stevenson (RIP) and his apprentice Ivanna Sakhno. They're both great. Need to catch up with the Champions for their take. You really need to watch Clone Wars to "get" Ahsoka. I like her appearances in more recent Star Wars media, but the real meat of her character came from that show. For what it's worth, Clone Wars is real, real good. It does start off as "just good" in its first two seasons, but it becomes a great show by its third season. Another thing about Ahsoka is that she left the Jedi Order and refuses to identify as one because the Jedi Council did her real dirty. Ahsoka was still a pupil at the time, so she never completed her training. I think Ahsoka being in need of direction might actually be the point. {Spoiler} When Ahsoka was framed for a crime she did not commit. Like, she just threw her out and Anakin had to take matters into his own hands to prove her innocent because no one else in The Jedi Order would. The Jedi Council was so afraid of losing face with both the public and the Senate that they threw Ahsoka to the wolves to be tried by Palpatine and Tarkin who were both looking to get rid of her by any means necessary because her closeness to Anakin and positive influence on her. That set of episodes ended up doing more to make Anakin's disillusionment with the Jedi Order and fall from grace understandable than anything in the prequel film trilogy.
