The Ahsoka finale sets up the future of Star Wars in shocking fashion.
Our recap…
ThisStar Wars: Ahsokareview contains spoilers.
The very thing our heroes risked their lives to prevent is coming to pass.
But you know what the weird thing is?
Ahsoka doesnt seem to give a shit!
Its time to move on.
Thrawn is back, but why should we care if none of the characters do?
We dont even get to see Heras reaction to Thrawns impending return.
Its what her entire story arc revolved around!
Her storys been an afterthought over the last couple of episodes, but this payoff was great.
This death really meant something.
It was also preceded by some seriously awesome action.
Still, what we got was excellent.
One of the very early scenes was pretty great, too.
Maybe in a future season, or perhaps in showrunner Dave Filonis upcoming movie?
Aesthetically, it did look a bit creepier than the other planets weve explored on these shows thus far.
But the dry, brown and gray expanses ultimately became so drab and uninspiring.
Grating to the eye, even.
Meanwhile, the disappointing thing about Thrawn is that his character arc has been more of a character plateau.
It is for the Empire.
The security of our galaxy, he says.
But noeveryone is cool as a cucumber.
She remains a bit of a cipher by the end of her own show, which is a shame.
There are some tantalizing signs of things to come in the final minutes of the episode.
Did this finale pay off everything that led up to it?
But that doesnt mean it tanked the show.
Were hopefully on track for some exciting (and much more dramatic) times ahead.
