Listened to the whole thing... Greenwald is off his rocker. He's contradicting himself all over the place and not at all recognizing his own bias.

I sympathize with the feeling a "mass market" show shouldn't require homework but I wouldn't want Filoni dumbing it down. Go watch Rebels, you hacks.
It's the one he force-crushes for me. Yeah, he can disable them. Dismember them. But he went can-crusher on one of them. That was some shit.dimejinky99 wrote:Luke turned up and was a fuckin Jedi obliterating an army the episode showed us even one of them alone was almost impossible to beat and takes them all out with ease.
Don't redeem her either. Let her stay evil.epilogue wrote:Dear Filoni... please don't kill off Shin

Agreed. Best thing I’ve seen in Star Wars since I was a kid.wease wrote:It’s the best thing to happen since ESB.dimejinky99 wrote:Ello Sailor wrote:Luke's CGI wasn't even bad. I don't know why some nerds get so bent out of shape about it.
Ignore that for a second and remember what happened
Luke turned up and was a fuckin Jedi obliterating an army the episode showed us even one of them alone was almost impossible to beat and takes them all out with ease. It’s shot so beautifully and the score is fuckin on every point amazing.
The music in the classic Star Wars tradition is telling you it’s him all the way through but you couldn’t see him all you got was a hooded figure and we all were frantic going is it him??
And then his green lightsaber
I could go on about that all day it’s probably my favourite moment in all Star Wars. It certainly is my favourite of the tv element of it
Feels like Andy knows he needs to watch Rebels and is frustrated to be missing out on the reward that is Ahsoka.epilogue wrote:Listened to the whole thing... Greenwald is off his rocker.

To his credit, CR at least tries to acknowledge all the counter arguments. Overall, it was a bummer of a conversation but there were some interesting points and bright spots. I'm glad they're gonna bail on it, though. I don't need to hear this every week.

- Ahsoka in the temple. Her wry side smile as she figures out the stone puzzle.
- Her saber fight with the droids and Marrok. The twisted glee in her eye as she runs the droid through and uses it's body as a shield.
- Any chat with Herra.
She's been through some shit. But the light is still there. Rosario is just really fucking good at playing layers with subtlety.
Yeah, I don't find her performance stiff or too stoic.epilogue wrote:So many people are saying they feel like Ahsoka is too stoic, that she doesn't seem to be having any fun. I challenge those folks to watch these scenes again:

Did you not see Rebels? She was not funny and quippy. She was serious fulcrum hell bent on taking down the empire. And at the very end she was stoic and serious and only concerned with finding Ezra. This Ahsoka fits.dimejinky99 wrote:
The Ahsoka we all know was a funny quippy something to say about everything sass factory .
