Critic Peter Travers shares his review of 'Ahsoka,' which is now available to stream on Disney+.
And that's the character we join in "Ahsoka," a conflicted warrior estranged from the Jedi but on a mission to help the New Republic by opening a map in the shape of an orb that will lead to the location of evil Grand Admiral Thrawn and good guy Ezra Bridger . Bridger is supposed to be dead, except death is relative in these parts.
The Stevenson performance resonates powerfully, as does the comic mastery of "Doctor Who" virtuoso David Tennant in the voice role of the droid Huyang. Filoni himself offers eloquent beeps as the temperamental bot Chopper . For irresistible, you can't beat the animatronic Loth-cat who rivals Baby Yoda in the adorable sweeps.But "Ahsoka" belongs not to dudes but to its women warriors. Dawson anchors the series.
It's Hera who tries to make peace between Ahsoka and her former padawan, the headstrong Mandalorian Sabine Wren, played with an inner fire to match her flaming hair by the terrific Natasha Liu Bordizzo. It's the conflict between master and apprentice that gives "Ahsoka" its momentum and meaning. And Dawson and Bordizzo ride that conflict to glory.Sure, some of the dings against the series are justifiable. The plot dawdles in getting its engines revving and you won't find the fresh dazzle of "The Mandalorian" and the dark terror of "Andor." But there's more than enough here to make viewers eager for the final six episodes.
