Planet was Dathomir, a planet those crazy **** witches inhabited. I really had to watch dork videos for all this shit. The New Rockstars flavor of dork videos were best IMO Last edited by Buehler445; 10-04-2023 at 11:14 PM.. |

I thought the lightsaber combat in this one was much better, too. I know that's been a complaint.
Ahsoka is probably as hard to port to live-action as Yoda would be. You watch her lightsaber combat in the Rebels or Clone Wars cartoons, and it's a whole other level beyond what they're able to show in live action. If you watch the lightsaber combat between Ashoka and Anakin in the Clone Wars temple fight, especially, and you see her doing things athletically that you just can't make a real person do without a Matrix-style approach to combat, and that is costly in time and money.

Been working my way through Clone Wars and man, these guys LOVE leaving stuff unresolved, don't they?
I suspect they fill in a lot of gaps in comics, etc... but even from one episode to the next, you have to listen to the 'recap' at the beginning because about half the time they seem to have moved forward months. So if I'm gonna really nerd out at all, I'm gonna have to get reading aren't I? |

The dork videos I watch will have to suffice for filling in the gaps. |

As far as the episode, I thought it was pretty strong.
I've been fairly critical of the lightsaber battles, and this one was the best by a wide margin. Powered up Morgan Elzbeth was a nice foil and damn if that wasn't a good fight scene - really did a nice job with space, no dumbass moves getting inside the defense radius and not spilling their guts, Motion was with intent and force, good stuff. I'm here for that. I appreciated the ending with Sabine staying with her Master. As well as Ahsoka coming to terms with her being an adequate master, and ultimately conquering her fear of Sabine going dark. That was a nice touch. I don't know if it was worth how miserable it was watching Sabine be awful. I thought the interactions with Ezra and Sabine were good - finally. For whatever reason, the fights with the troopers felt like it had stakes. I was impressed. Sabine's progress with her training in a couple days was a little on the nose, but whatever. As far as not wrapping it up, I'm fine IF they do S2. But Disney is bleeding cash, Iger is under fire, and the management is frankly FUBAR. And they're chopping shit like mexicans in a cane field. It's risky - especially if it underperforms. I'm in for S2. I thought it wasn't great to start, but really hit it's stride and sucked me in. |

I guess I did end up getting my Death Troopers, lol.
On another side note, did you know Captain Enoch was played by Wes Chatham who played Amos in The Expanse? ![]() I feel like I'm late to this news, so you likely already knew. Lol |

Dathomir being in official live action Canon is some exciting shit.
