Ahsoka was an enjoyable watch, but it wasn’t very divisive, and it wasn’t that memorable either. However, the late Ray Stevenson’s performance as Baylan Skoll sadly did not get nearly the amount of screen time he deserved. Shin Hati, Baylan’s apprentice, was the internet’s obsession for quite a few weeks for reasons that need not be discussed here.

The internet also quite liked the live action portrayal of Ezra, and I can’t help but agree. Eman Esfandi remained faithful to his animated form, retaining his energetic and sarcastic personality. Unfortunately, Ezra was the only character to remain faithful to the animated source material. Thrawn was portrayed as being extremely fit and a skilled fighter in Star Wars: Rebels, but in Ahsoka he looks to have put on a few pounds. Sabine just doesn’t look like her animated self, and child Ahsoka looked way too young. In one scene, she was canonically 18, but she looked like she was a preteen. However, apart from this there was not much else to criticize.  

The plot of Ahsoka was a strong point. It was excellently paced, and each episode built excitement for the next one. Bringing the Nightsisters into live action was a perfect decision, as it made Ahsoka’s defeat even more believable. Ahsoka felt a little powered down in her own show, but that can easily be explained by pointing out that most people are not in their physical prime at 47. Thrawn, although a little pudgy, was still very intelligent in a way that showed that even if he neglected his physical health in exile, he didn’t neglect his mental health. The twist ending of Ahsoka losing in her own show ended up feeling fine, without jumping through any logical hoops. The Anakin episode felt a little nostalgic bait, but I think it had enough justification to exist. The best thing about this show is the villains. It is so sad to think that Ray Stevenson won’t hear any of the praise that his character is getting, because he hit it out of the park. Baylan is easily the most compelling character we have had in a while. All jokes aside, Shin was very interesting as well, and her decision to join the bandits was a very surprising one, but I think it fits her well.

I lied when I said that Ahsoka was not controversial and not memorable. Although Ahsoka was well received by most, it was definitely not unmemorable. You must take the good with the bad, and I think that this show is a pretty good deal.
