Ahsoka is another utter torturous stretching of a 90 minute movie into an 8 episode TV show, through extreme boredom. The mane event is of course Heroine MacCready in green.  Heroine MacCready either stands still or sits in a cockpit.  She's a general in some kind of Harrison Ford pilot costume despite not flying anything exposed to the elements or using the eye pieces.

 

 

Like all movies, the 40 year old women are the most covered in makeup, gloves, hologram effects, or just doing voiceovers off camera, very far off camera.  

 

 A green tentacle head 1st appeared in return of the jedi, getting executed by Jabba the hut.  This could have been the basis for Heroine MacCready seeking revenge, but it wasn't.  Heroine MacCready just shows up.  There might be some dynamic in tentacle heads rising from the lowest common denominator to generals & jedis.

 

 The eye candy wraps up in episode 1, before the money runs out.  Lions wondered why they invested so much in roads for hover bikes.   More realistically, a future world of hovering would revert to empty fields.

Much like Who Heroine, it's hours of meaningless dialog & cliffhangers resolved by newly invented words.

Sadly, there's no flame thrower or wookie.  The star wars franchise desperately needs a wookie show or a show with just non humanoid characters.  The droids & the wookies could have their own quest. 

Tentacle head's custom space suit in episode 3 was amusing.  Does the ship pack a different space suit for every type of alien?  A mane would be much easier to pack.

By episode 5, the story is salvaged as middle aged Anakin returns, complete with a wider version of his original costume but without his stunt double Retro Guy.  Attention changes to finding signs of aging.  Anakin was pretty much the only prequel character with any staying power.  As bad as the prequels were, his nuttiness gave the story some life.

So in a parallel universe, he ended up training another jedi during the clone wars.  Maybe he did it in secret, just like the marriage.

There is an Obi Wan Kenobi series.  At this point in the starwars TV series lifecycle, they're all the same except for heroine MacCready.  You need a vested interest in the mane character to justify watching these.  Obi Wan was boring.

There is the implication of single parenting & polyamory being the way to success in the star wars universe.  The official story is she banged a jedi knight who was killed, but the only single parents most of us ever encounter in real life are the product of upwardly mobile women sharing a high ranking male with other women to get a high ranking kid.

 

Episode 5 brought out the eye candy with the space whales & another vision of stepping outside a platform far above the clouds.

 

 Episode 6 introduced the witches in the foreign galaxy, which reminded lions of the robotech masters.  That show is looking mighty old now.

 

 Finally, we discover a rag tag star destroyer which was exiled to the foreign galaxy long ago.  The scavenged storm trooper armor & tattered general uniform make lions ponder what stories they have.  Sadly, his dialogue was lost to a mumbling british accent.  The other missing bit was how they ended up there.  Was there already a hyperdrive or did they fight their way between the galaxies?  Presumably some damage prevented them from going back.

By this point, it was obviously another series which was going to introduce a new round of characters & plot twists right before checking out.

Skimming through the remaneing eye candy, it became clearer that the star destroyer was partially rebuilt with indigenous materials but a lot of stuff was permanently broken.  It didn't look like much of a threat with only 1 mane engine.

Then all the characters from the 1st 4 episodes got left behind in the foreign galaxy while heroine MacCready went on to fight the star destroyer in the home galaxy.  The lead tentacle head & asian weren't likeable.  Asian women under a certain age have a reputation which can't be forgotten in movie land.
