I wanted to like this show way more than I did. But it just didn’t scratch the itch. The main characters seemed a bit lost, like we needed more streamlining to their story to have a satisfying arc. I like the main actresses in other stuff but I don’t think they were right to play these people.
Honestly it seems like the biggest problem is that any story they make up for this time period is kneecapped by having it all end with the Sequels.a story about rebuilding the republic in the shadow of the Empire would be epic and a perfect use of these characters. But knowing it all goes boom and cloned snokes and emperors are soaking in a vat like sea monkies makes it all a bit meh.
Overall meh, I’ll tune in next year and see what happens. I just think it could be better.
I was honestly kind of hoping they would just strand everyone in that new Galaxy, find allies, and Thrawn would just decide to build his new Empire there, with the plan to some day bring it home. Start a parallel continuity on a completely new slate.
Then jump forward a few years every season until you’ve caught up in real time with where the sequels left off, and an elderly lich-like Thrawn, kept alive by the sorcery of the Night Mothers, can see his embattled-but-finally victorious and rebuilt fleet launch their long-awaited invasion of his home Galaxy. Then they could do something like the Yuuzhan Vong storyline with the sequel cast and without the stupid Yuuzhan Vong.
Well that explains why Ahsoka wasn’t around for the sequel trilogy lol
Leaves some questions about Ezra though. And as pleased as I am with what their story did and where it ended it leaves a lot to be desired from the sequel trilogy. More than it already left.
You’re going to tell me that Thrawn showed up with an undead army from another galaxy and there’s not even a mention of that in the trilogy?
I really enjoyed this show. But it just frustrates me with the sequels more than I already was.
The prequels had a great overarching story but suffered from poor dialogue and a lack of details. The story beats were there. They just needed to be fleshed out.
I’m not sure sure the sequel trilogy can be fleshed out in a way that resolves it. But I’ll certainly watch any attempts they make!
“Cloning………secrets only the sith knew” my guy, the CLONE WARS is in living memory for a lot of people smh
Great acting, good light saber fights, what more could you want?
Maybe less questions
I think I wanted more of a hook for casual viewers. I get that Thrawn is a threat and bringing him back to the main galaxy is a game changer, but does someone who didn’t watch all the animated stuff get that?
I also wanted Baylan’s story to wrap up, because I find it sad I won’t get to see it in full now.
So we’re rebuilding Mortis on this world? Baylan Skoll as the Father, Ahsoka (or Sabine) as the Daughter, and Shin Hottie as the Son?
Or perhaps Ahsoka will be the Father, since she’s Anakin’s apprentice? Except that she’s already kind of the Daughter…
Edit: Also, so the cargo was totally more nightsisters, right?
I can’t imagine it’s simply dead troopers for them to resurrect, because they weren’t super effective. It would explain why the planet seemed so desolate and depopulated. They all died or went into hibernation until the day the Night Mothers brought them back. For what, though? Why wouldn’t they just rule their own planet, rather than following some foreign admiral to another Galaxy? I needed more about why they seemed so eager to leave.
