To be honest, I was disappointed in the fight choreography of the Baylan/Ahsoka fight. Not sure what was up with that, but it was pretty weak.

Speaking of episode 5, apparently they're going to be showing it in selected theaters around the country. https://collider.com/ahsoka-episode-...rs-screenings/ |

And remember its a different fight than, "I'm going to straight up wax Maul" or "I need to buy so and so time to escape" or "I need to push this dude back so I can GTFO". She was there to get the map, not fight with Baylan. But yeah, the smart move is to use both sabers, use the ability to close distance because that's what you're good at, dice this fool then go get the map. I felt the same way about her appearance in Mando. She's not the fleet footed straight up warrior she was in the cartoons. It just isn't there. |

its a bit of knit picking, it was good enough to keep me in it, and tell the story they want to tell. And some of it I think isn't going to happen with real actors. Some of the shit in the cartoons was off the chain. |

They could've tried to body double her, I guess. There ARE people that could likely bring that level of savagery and athleticism. Rosario Dawson just isn't. Whatev. Like you said, it's noticeable, but it is what it is. I noticed it in her first fight (and Sabine's aren't a ton better; they look REALLY choreographed) but the storytelling is good so I deal with it. |

Yeah there will be differences between animation and the live action in terms of speed and ability for fights, but I liked the Baylan Ahsoka fight, him toying with her, as a big hulking imposing foe, just never understood why she didn't just slice the orb but instead grabbed it with her hand. You wanted to destroy it right? I know every show has those "plot armor" moments, but that was a glaring one that I'm okay with so the story can go forward, but it made no sense, and because she has a burnt hand she can't fight anymore... cmon now.

Because deep down she either wants it to find and destroy Thrawn or find Ezra. Or both.

Just seems like lazy writing. IMO, this isn't any better than Kenobi, worse than Book of Boba Fett, far worse than Mandalorian and dogshit compared to Andor. |

But going forward, this is definitely the way (as the Mandalorian would say) to handle Sabine. |
