Part Three: Time to Fly

Reads one of the review titles...well...that seems obvious...the under sixteen year old, red bull crowd...the whiners. It was hard to believe that it was, review after review, negative...most ratings under 5.

Yes. It's thirty minutes long. As if quantity has anything to do with quality?

It seems as if a lot of the young reviewers are only here to show us how clever they think THEY are...and little to do with what's actually happening in the program...'something to clip your toenails to'(congratulations. You used the correct 'your'. A foot up from many reviewers). 'the trend of beautiful but stupid continues'...i guess i'm the stupid one for not understanding what that's supposed to imply.

But...at first i wasn't sure i was going to enjoy this show...there's been many star wars 'offshoots' i've tried to watch but...they just weren't for me... but THIS show feels the most to me like the original movies...which had some of the same pacing as this episode...really, as all of the series so far...and yes. Some of it IS repetitive...it IS, though, an extension of the original story. So how one might think it should be different from 'the basics' is beyond me...it's not 'something else'. It's, as i said, an extension of star wars...and it's doing pretty well doing that in a LOT of ways in this series... the whiners don't bother me all that much...they're hard to take seriously. I've come to expect it since anyone of any age can write a review...i don't expect them to be able to get beyond their own personal, teenage frustrations to give an objective review.

While it may have been a short episode, #Ahsoka continues to be a fascinating and exciting journey. Delivering with great action, good character progression and a promising storyline.

I love the space combat we got and that we got to see glimpses of Ahsoka's immature and impulsive side which will never fully go away no matter how much she has matured.

This is incredibly promising television for fans of Rebels and Star Wars in general, with some very rewarding scenes.

The best thing about this episode for me is that it continues to provide meaningful scenes for Sabine who I felt in Rebels was the least developed character. Whether it's regarding Ezra, her training, her past or her feelings it has managed to deliver every time.

Look forward to the next episode!

This series so far is decent but it's suffering from a few issues. Some with casting, some with directing.

Hera's character is unbelievable - mixed with poor acting and too much makeup, she's like a pretty girl stuffed in a Star Wars outfit with cute but out of place expressions. Conversely all of the villains here are fantastic, especially Shin (the Ukrainian actress). Just a fantastic expressive performance. Very believable.

The overall problem I've found with this series is pacing, Ahsoka's character suffers at times due to her vacillating between a lethargic smug sage to a top fighting Jedi. The directing is also suffering from music overload. Intense music being overlaid on battle scenes and light saber fights is actually smothering the flow of the scenes. If you notice the music more than you notice the action then you've probably got too much music.

All that being said, this is probably my second favorite series behind The Mandalorian. I'm still holding out hope for this one to get better though as the villains are exceptional.

There is a major revelation that some fans will not like, but do the research, this is what George Lucas himself really thinks, and this time not just another stupid Disney idea.

Otherwise, this episode was shorter, kinda had a filler feeling, but the story had to be connected so I understand. I think the next one will hit. Rebels fans are treated again with some nice referneces and cameo characters, just as in previous episodes, hope this keeps up:)

I'm very satisfied with the show so far, not just because i'm a huge CW&Rebels fan, and this show is basically Rebels season 5, but because it really has star wars feeling and has the prequels' style.

I think I'm more confused at the rating of the show, than the show itself.

Anything that's rating over an 8, is clearly bought and paid for by Disney. This show does not YET reach an 8.... I hope it can get there. Realistically, I think its between a 6-7 (at best).

I think for all the hype this has had, it's been rather slow and predictable. Paying homage to Star Wars is one thing, but lifting lines, and scenes from it, felt less like a tribute and more like a struggle for ideas.

To leave the review on a good note, visually the show looks pretty good. But fans will always take a good story over great visuals. I hope in the end the larger story will bring it all back together.
