It's no secret Disney Star Wars has been a but of a mess for a while now. The Mandalorian, Book of Boba Fett, and Obi-Wan Kenobi have all been not great. Many of us truly feel that Star Wars is dying and that Disney Star Wars is broken. In a galaxy not so far away, the highly anticipated Ahsoka show has arrived on Disney+, but the force of disappointment is strong with this one. So far, Ahsoka is not great...

🚀 Uninspiring Direction:
It's no secret that Dave Filoni is a Star Wars legend, but his transition to directing hasn't been as smooth as a podracer. The Ahsoka show's pacing and character development have left fans yearning for the excitement and depth that once defined the franchise. Yes, this is the most cinematic show that isn't Andor we've gotten, but that's a pretty low bar to clear. We'll break down how Filoni's directorial choices might be contributing to the show's lack of spark.

🎨 Dull Visual Aesthetic:
From the sprawling landscapes of Tatooine to the bustling cities of Coruscant, Star Wars has always captured our imaginations with its vibrant and diverse worlds. However, the Ahsoka show's visual aesthetic feels as rigid as carbonite. We'll discuss how the choice of visuals might be impacting the overall engagement and appeal of the series. Plain and simple, Ahsoka continues the Disney Star Wars trend of bad vfx due to an overall lack of style, colors, interesting cinematography, and an overreliance on the volume.

🌀 Identity Crisis:
One of the biggest lightsaber-sized issues the Ahsoka show faces is its identity crisis. Trying to appease Star Wars Rebels fans while also attracting a broader audience has left the show feeling like it's caught in a tractor beam. We'll explore how this tug-of-war between continuity and accessibility has affected the show's narrative and character arcs. And I say this as someone who watched and loved Star Wars Rebels!

🌌 Finding Balance:
Can the Ahsoka show ever truly find its place in the Star Wars universe? Is there a way for it to recapture the magic of the original trilogy while also exploring new horizons? We'll dive into potential solutions and offer insights into how the show could navigate its course to regain the trust of disappointed fans.

Join us as we analyze and review the Ahsoka show's rocky beginning, its connections to lackluster predecessors, and its struggle to find its identity in a galaxy of high expectations. Griffin (@griffschiller) gives you his Ahsoka review and explains why Ahsoka is bad, the huge problem with Ahsoka, why Ahsoka is off to a bad start, why ahsoka is a disappointment, and why Ahsoka is not great. Enjoy this Ahsoka explained and Ahsoka analysis!
