Hey! Those are great apes, man. Let’s not minimize them.
Most security systems.
I love that Baylan and Ahsoka were doing the “chess” of combat styles. Lots of evaluating stances and consideration before each burst of dueling.
I don’t like the man’s politics, and I think it’s terrible that he’s been allowed to hold office this long with his deteriorating health.
That said, I also find it so sad to see any person reaching a point where their cognitive abilities are this unpredictably impaired. Sudden freeze-ups and clear moments of detachment remind me too much of my father in-law and conversations I’ve had with him as his dementia develops.
I’d average the first two episodes as a B-.
The pacing of the dialogue is off, and most of that could have been fixed in editing. That would largely help with the energy of the episodes.
Rosario makes a great Ahsoka. Baylan Skoll seems like a pretty great character, and I find it sad that Stevenson died for the obvious reasons, but especially because I already feel like he’s a character I’d love to see much more of.
People complaining about an ancient map leading to Thrawn and/or Ezra are missing that it’s not a map “to them”, it’s a map to something else that happens to be where they are.
Excited to have a live action “night sister”, some (seemingly) grey Jedi, and a ?former? Inquisitor As representatives of non-Jedi/Sith force users.
Weak points aside from the pacing:
Over telegraphing the imperial folks on Coruscant.
A bit too long spent on the Lothal highway scene which could have been about half as long, in fact the whole Sabine not showing up at the dedication was kind of pointless and it’s removal would have fixed a lot of pacing issues with the first episode.
A little less explaining of Sabine by Ahsoka would have been fine. Just too much telling, not enough showing.
As much as we have Lucas to thank for the movies getting made, it cannot be overstated just how important Ralph was (and continues to be) to the visual language of Star Wars. I love that shows like Rebels, Obi-Wan, and The Mandalorian have incorporated so many of his previously unused designs. His work is the gift that keeps on giving.
