GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Ahsoka was decent. I'm not really digging Ahsoka the character we've gotten in live action so far. I realize she's older and been through a lot, but I really miss the spunk she had in The Clone Wars and Rebels.

It took awhile to warm up to this version of Hera, but I'm all in after the ship chase scene with her and Chopper.

Interestingly they've really reduced the vocal effects on Chopper's dialogue to the point he's almost completely intelligible.

I'm very curious about our two Darksiders. Skoll seems to have a love/hate relationship with the Jedi order and his apprentice is wearing a Padawan braid.

I'm really on the fence with Ahsoka the show, and I concur that I want more joie de vivre from Ahsoka the character. She's been solemn as heck in every iteration since TCW, and I know she's been through a lot, but seriously, she knew how to have joy. Can she not have any joy now?

I think Sabine is well-cast but I'm on the fence about Hera. She's missing some of the maternal authority & gravity that the animated version brought to the table. But also the sly playfulness she would show in her flirtation with Kanan. I dunno.

The plot is not working that well for me (do we really have to have another search led by a very old map?) , but I'm happy that they have tried to explain how Sabine could be a Jedi apprentice without having much Force sensitivity--or any.

Ep 4: So it’s like Ahsoka literally cannot die ??? Every single time that she is about to die someone is there to pull her into plotarmorland ??? WTF Filoni!?!?

Tom: there's a theory that Ahsoka cannot die because she was brought back to life by the Sister's power on Mortis.

Dunno if I believe it, but honestly they are not going to kill her off 4 eps in.

I found Sabine's decision a bit too much like Ezra's relationship with Maul, and also it was undercut almost immediately when Hera showed up. Ezra is NOT the only member of Sabine's family left: she knew Hera long before she met Ezra.

I would like to know why Baylan said that Ahsoka's distrust caused the death of Sabine's family. How does that calculate?

Ahsoka: After all the debate on the Internet Nightsister Force Zombie was not what I expected for Marrok.

ETA: Ahsoka waking up in the World Beyond Worlds was weird because I had no thought in my head that she was actually dead. Falling off a cliff isn't going to kill a Jedi.

Man, was that CGI on Anakin terrible.

And yeah, they totally did Hera dirty saying that Ezra was Sabine's only family left.

In other streaming news, I'm digging Wheel of Time season 2 so far. They seem to have recovered from the COVID-tainted messiness that was the end of season 1.

Man, seeing Clone Wars-era Ahsoka really brought home how fucked up that period of Galactic history/the Jedi order was.
