Sounds like a plan. I did suspect watching so many episodes over the course of seven days would be a bit much.

I would recommend for Clone Wars just watching certain arcs. Things like the Siege of Mandalore is a must of course, as is things like the Five arc, Umbara, the Temple bombings and some others.

I know which is why i thought it was cool that they got her.


But couldn't get Ashley back to play Ahsoka. Bizarre.

I think it is kinda due to concerns over being able to physically portray Ahsoka. My ideal solution is do what they did with Maul in Solo where they had Ray Park physically play him and Sam Witwer voice over. Have Rosario physically play her and Ashley do the voice over.

Rookies was the best standalone episode. Prove me wrong.

Ameri, this isn't 2008. The Ahsoka you're talking about is already dead and was replaced with a better one. It's called "character development". Your knowledge of the character is outdated and your arguments are obsolete. There is absolutely no reason for anyone to consider your opinion on the matter relevant given these facts.

Quit moaning about something you know nothing about. It's fucking old.

her crappy personality

Is gone due to large amounts of character devlopment seeing her mature.

the stupid way she holds her lightsabers

This argument is petty and dumb and we both know it.

her outfit

Yeah that tube top shit was really bad. But it was changed in like season 3 IIRC.

Nice to see you agree.

While I cannot give any examples off the top of my head backward grips like Ahsoka uses is not unheard of in real life as far as I am aware.

Well, too bad I'll never get to season 3.

Whether or not you see it is irrelevant, it is still a fact the tube top was phased out and thus is no longer a valid criticism.

I said I get why they did it. Doesn't make it any less dumb. A freaking giant rat should not be able to tank three hits from a lightsaber.

And you should not be able to tank 6 bullets and then be fine like 10 seconds later but that is how most FPS games do it. Games sometimes have to do dumb things for the sake of having a balanced game.

Holding your lightsaber backwards isn't a uniquely Ahsoka thing. Several lightsaber users have done it before, including powerful and skilled ones like Revan and Galen Marek/Starkiller. I believe it's been stated that holding your lightsaber backwards is either the clear sign mark of a novice or a display of one's skill as, much like wielding two lightsabers or a double-bladed lightsaber, it require considerable training in order to be used properly and effectively given the unorthodox nature of the fighting style. Not to mention that some lightsaber combat moves require or necessitate the (temporary) rotation of the blade "backwards" in order to be used appropriately, though that is a bit different than just fighting with them being held like that permanently.

An advantage I can see from holding one's lightsaber(s) "backwards" is it can help throw off your opponent as they probably wouldn't be used to the fighting style and would have to adjust, leaving room for mistakes on their part early on. It is actually stated though by the voice actress for Ahsoka that she deliberately holds her lightsabers like that because she's still a padawan in training and doesn't know any better. She does slowly start breaking that habit as the show goes on until I believe she stops doing it altogether, at least as far as I can remember.

Seriously... Thrawn got Deus Ex'd rather impressively through both seasons of Rebels in which he featured. As a Thrawn fan m'self, I am forced to rate his portrayal in Rebels as significant levels of 'meh'... and not because of the voice-actor. That dude was spiff.

The sequel trilogy should've been a mix between The Heir to the Empire storyline and The Legacy's Fel Empire storyline.

Honestly, if you just ignore the fact that they take place 100's of years apart from one another, they fit really well together.

Like, it would fix the Rey/Kylo dynamic. Instead of possible love interests it could be a story about a girl Jedi trying to save her cousin or brother from imperial remnant forces using him as a dark side figurehead. I'd watch the shit outa that.

Seriously... Thrawn got Deus Ex'd rather impressively through both seasons of Rebels in which he featured. As a Thrawn fan m'self, I am forced to rate his portrayal in Rebels as significant levels of 'meh'... and not because of the voice-actor. That dude was spiff.

Fun fact: The guy who voiced him in Rebels is Mads Mikkelsen's brother.

The Imperial Reach wrote:Holding your lightsaber backwards isn't a uniquely Ahsoka thing. Several lightsaber users have done it before, including powerful and skilled ones like Revan and Galen Marek/Starkiller. I believe it's been stated that holding your lightsaber backwards is either the clear sign mark of a novice or a display of one's skill as, much like wielding two lightsabers or a double-bladed lightsaber, it require considerable training in order to be used properly and effectively given the unorthodox nature of the fighting style. Not to mention that some lightsaber combat moves require or necessitate the (temporary) rotation of the blade "backwards" in order to be used appropriately, though that is a bit different than just fighting with them being held like that permanently.

An advantage I can see from holding one's lightsaber(s) "backwards" is it can help throw off your opponent as they probably wouldn't be used to the fighting style and would have to adjust, leaving room for mistakes on their part early on. It is actually stated though by the voice actress for Ahsoka that she deliberately holds her lightsabers like that because she's still a padawan in training and doesn't know any better. She does slowly start breaking that habit as the show goes on until I believe she stops doing it altogether, at least as far as I can remember.

You must remember wrong, cause I still her doing it in clips from like season 7.


It's called the Shien reverse grip for reference. Shien being a variant of Form V Djem So, her master Anakin's main form.
