A review/video essay of season 1 of the new Star Wars show Ahsoka. I go into the many flaws and strengths about the show and why it's primarily decent. Forme...
I enjoy Star Wars and have watched all the movies and Disney live action TV shows. I am not however a Star Wars aficionado. The first couple of Mandalorian seasons were great, as was Andor. Ahsoka was the first of the Disney shows where I felt like I needed to stop and do some background reading to understand what the hell was going on. Why did colourful hair girl miss that skinny guy? Who was Admiral Thrawn? Why did that lady keep being called a witch? What the fuck are those flying whales all about?!? It felt like there was a lot of assumptions made about who was watching and what they knew about Star Wars, which seems like lazy writing to me.

That’s because Ahsoka a.k.a. The Sabine Wren Show is actually Rebels Season 5.
