Yesterday night (thankfully not early this morning), we got the two-episode premiere of Ahsoka, the long-time dream of Dave Filoni to bring his beloved Clone Wars/Rebels character to life.
, the long-time dream of Dave Filoni to bring his beloved Clone Wars/Rebels character to life. The result is a series that appears like it’s going to effectively be a fifth season of Rebels, with at last half the old cast on board.The part of the fandom that has indeed watched all of Clone Wars and Rebels appear to be quite happy with the premiere here, believing the actors suit their respective roles from the animated series quite well.
But if you have not watched the 11 seasons of content that led up to this moment, the show may land differently for you, and is really going to have to prove itself by standing on its own two feet. And I’m not sure these first two episodes quite do that. There’s a lot of “remember when this happened?” and the answer is “no” for many viewers. We have never seen the long, long history of the relationships between these characters, so that makes onboarding a bit tougher.
I think the show’s biggest strengths are its sense of mystery. Some of the mysteries the Rebels crew already knows, like who this Ezra guy is and why he’s so important. Same with Thrawn. Others are more of a mystery to everyone. What on earth is going on with this Nightsister-found portal to an entirely newgalaxy far, far away. Galaxy, singular. And now we’re hearing about an ancient race from another galaxy that built these portals from their home to this one.
