Ahsoka avoids the excessive cameos and contrived dot-connecting of other, lesser Star Wars shows, focusing instead on what makes this franchise so much fun — its characters.
For those who have never been intrigued by “Star Wars,” the master versus apprentice theme at the core of “Ahsoka” likely won’t be enough to push them to explore such an intensive world. However, for lifelong fans who understood the significance of “Rebels” and fell in love with one of the most iconic female characters of the franchise, learning more about her story and what happened to Thrawn and Ezra will likely be a transcendent experience.

Perfect Star Wars and Season 2 is inbound! The best in the franchise since the original movies.
Report
With a strong connection to Rebels, rich characters, and the ingredients for a solid story, Ahsoka is loaded with potential. However, the series stumbles a bit out the gate. The relationship between Ahsoka and Sabine is strained, but we’re not given enough backstory for it to feel genuine.
Disney+’s new live action series Ahsoka has the potential to explore the more cosmic and mystical aspects of the Star Wars universe, but the first two episodes feel flat at times as characters have to spend too much time catching up viewers who didn’t watch Star Wars Rebels.
It’s in many ways the anti-“Andor”: They both have slow builds, yet while the Emmy-nominated “Rogue One” spinoff focused on building up new characters, themes and corners of the galaxy, “Ahsoka” falls back on cherry-picking from its past. (Though for folks who just watch the movies, at least the "Rebels" folks will feel somewhat fresh.)
There’s a chance that when some of the people everybody keeps talking about finally make appearances in Ahsoka, the entire show will gain the immediacy that’s currently lacking. Even Andor, which not every Star Wars show needs to be, started slow, but it was never bland.
Ahsoka lacks the beauty or grandeur of the best of George Lucas’s vision. It has nothing of the tactility of Tatooine’s deserts or Hoth’s icescape. The production design is as flat and flimsy as the characterisation. Ahsoka herself is, on paper, a badass – but on the screen she feels joyless.
I really enjoyed seeing the Rebels characters come to live action (The Ahsoka Ezra reunion in particular was great) . The Cinematography was amazing and there was some great fighting choreography. I though the guys who plays Ezra and Thrawn were most true to their animated versions. But this show had so many problems: Weak Fighting Choreography at times, Slow Pacing, Boring Plot, Lack of Character development, Bad Characterisation etc. The show is also a pretty terrible introduction to the world of clone wars and rebels if you've never watched either show. Honestly, this show wasn't great but definitely not the worst star wars content.
Report
Pros:
Exquisite Soundtrack
Very memorable characters, some with excellent acting
Very memorable and fun moments and character interactions
Vast potential in the story, and for sequels to it, could be the flawed set up to an excellent follow-up
Some fights have excellent coreography
Very beautifully designed ships, enviroments, creatures and more, lots of wonderful new content to appreciate in that regard
Cons:
Lacks real emotional beats that hit hard
Riddled with plot inconsistencies and plot holes
Both good guys and bad guys make astoundingly bad choices all the time, both in regards to the plot, and in combat
Spineless lightsaber combat. "Disney-Sabers" at their finest
Breaks the lore and established universe rules all the time, and for no reason.
Conclusion: If you're a big fan it's worth a watch, but it's very flawed, and it hurts since it could've been excellent with better writing
Report
I mean, what would be some decent taglines here: "It's not as bad as Obi-Wan?" "It's not as bad as The Book of Boba Fett?" Sure, it engages in universe-breaking, has tropes galore, and almost literally pees on the character of Thrawn, but . . . member Ahsoka? This would have done well to be an animated season of Rebels.
