    My problems with the fight scene is that in her other shows Ahsoka was much more acrobatic in her fights. She relied on a lot of movement that’s easier to animate than act out.

    That’s something I just have to get over, but i miss OG Ahsoka

      I definitely agree. Practically it’s likely due to the limitations moving from animation to live action. But my headcanon is just that she’s a bit older and that’s visible in her style.

        She’s older and matured. She’s realized function over fashion is good too

      Hopefully the next episode will have different directions in regards to the acting. Ahsoka should be portrayed as more vulnerable around Anakin, despite her years of development and maturity imho.

      I think they’re building to this, as she was put off at the mention of Anakin in the last fight scene.

      In regards to the fight scenes, I do miss the old Ahsoka acrobatics, but the show deals with this well by directing them to be more samurai inspired, literally playing more towards Ahsoka as a kind of sci fi Musashi. Metered and slower pace fight sequences were nicely juxtaposed with the more rough and tumble style of the respective padawans.

        I love that Baylan and Ahsoka were doing the “chess” of combat styles. Lots of evaluating stances and consideration before each burst of dueling.
