Ahsoka TV Series (Spoiler Discussion)

> if this wasn't star wars, we wouldn't waste another thought on it.

If this wasn't Star Wars, then the characters wouldn't have a past, and then most of these problems go away.

A huge part of the problem is that the writers are treating Ahsoka as if there's no need to make it work with Rebels and other things. Ahsoka being an aloof master isn't bad. What's bad is that she was anything BUT aloof her whole life. Even when given command of large numbers of troopers, she didn't allow her rank to distance herself from them. The problem here is that the current series doesn't match the lore at all, this Ahsoka isn't at all like previous Ahsokas, and that kills the experience for many of us.

But no, if this wasn't Star Wars, you wouldn't laugh it off. You'd wonder where this new world is going. Or, well, I don't know about you personally, but the general "you" which you used to tell me how I would react if this show wasn't Star Wars, that general "you" wouldn't laugh off the show.

There are lots of reasons to watch. It drives me batty, though, when they seem determined to alienate the fans that follow the franchise.

Haven't you noticed that Andor was great, but it didn't have any lore getting in the way? This was prequel for Cassian, not sequel, so we couldn't expect that he would be the same as he was the last time we saw him. Mandalorian, too, was exciting to people ... but it had no backstory for either Din or Grogu to get wrong.

Ahsoka feels bad ***because*** it's Star Wars. Not being set in the SW universe with SW characters wouldn't kill the show. Frankly, it probably could have saved it.
