We got a stage for Mandos ship and the main town..... let’s Make a wintery stage and have him fight through *checks notes* A bunch of spiders in that one.... aaaaand let’s have him take a side trip to another stage we will make up and *checks notes * and fight a bunch of stormtroopers like he was playing goldeneye”. Id be willing to bet they put a lot into 4-5 of the episodes and the others are going to be closed set camera creative “goldeneye” Episodes as filler. The fighting the dragon episode and the Mandalorian ship heist episode was great and expansive. I expect this next episode if/when he meets Asoka will be equally as great. My point is I’m expecting Mado and Asoka to storm a empire base the following episode with similar looming room after similar looking room. absolutely zero wrong with this - my point is if it wasn’t for Covid I bet we would have more expansive episodes and sets. You know they don't have any sets on this show, right? Almost everything is filmed on one single soundstage. They put down a floor, whatever props, and then the walls and background are projected on a massive wrap-around jumbotron behind the actors. It's all rendered in 3D in real time by a video game engine. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When he turned his light saber on - that was a moment I think a 6-8 episode Vader series set between ep 3-4 where he hunts Jedi would be amazing.

That was an awesome scene, but I don’t think you can expand that to a series where Vader just endlessly decimated the “good guys”. He’d have to be fighting the Hutt syndicate or cleaning up worse “bad guys”. The R1 scene works, imo, because not only do we now have the CGI and effects to blow away anything we saw Vader do in the original trilogy (and have 40 years of anticipation built up), but in the end, Vader fails. The rebels get away with the plans, at least temporarily. Edited November 25, 2020 by Rustoleum Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Me neither. I think you can get away with that in a comic book- level of investment. Could really narrow down the potential audience for a TV/Movie adaptation. But I am generally risk-averse and not made out of money like Disney so who knows? Could be a colossal hit. ...and I’d definitely watch it if it got made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Santa, God, Devil, Hitler may have more movies about them but they would be different story lines, or at least different interpretations of a few story lines. Bond and Vader are at least part of an ongoing story line (Never Say Never Again, aside). I would put Dracula/Vampires in with the Santa, God, Devil, category. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Psychopav 1,130 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 I thought Dawson did a great job with it. She captured some of the mannerisms of the animated Ahsoka. I thought I'd get pulled out of the moment thinking how different she felt from the Ahsoka we know but instead there were a couple times where I was pulled out of the moment realizing how continuous her representation was. I think the aging from Clone Wars to Rebels helped. You expect her to look older. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Insein 10,522 Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 Very good episode. Michael Biehn sighting too. Ashoka was well done. Hopefully they fit her in more as we go. The Thrawn mention has me excited. I wonder if they will use his watered down Rebels version or show the EU Heir to the Empire version more. If the go EU it would help explain why the empire is still so prominent and organized in these outer territories. Could go either way with Filoni in charge though. Either way great addition.
