Because that worked so well on their Doc Ock? No thanks. A slight smirk, sure, but no teeth please.Just hoping when Hot Toys does Ahsoka in white that we get a smiling headsculpt.

This was Filoni's version of a Christmas Carol and Anakin was playing each of the Ghosts.
Well If you're not going to do it....View attachment 662759
I kid, if that take makes sense to you and allows you to enjoy it more than far be it from me to say you're wrong. And I readily admit that Filoni himself may very well back up your claims the very next time he opens his mouth, lol.
Maybe they've enjoyed bad SW for so long that lore being presented correctly just feels wrong to them?PT fans are presumably also OT fans, so yeah, there shouldn't be any need for better Anakin closure than the end of ROTJ.
TCW was always worth it. Ahsoka just enhanced TCW and like TCW made the PT more tolerable.There's no denying that the best SW is ANH + ESB or the theatrical OT if you want the nice closure that ROTJ brings.
But this latest episode might be the second best thing after that.
The first 30 minutes basically made the entirety of the PT and TCW dare I say "worth it." Not bad for what is essentially a filler episode.
I been thinking about that. In that time I find the ST to be just as bad as the PT but feel the ST could be assisted with “filling in the blanks” like TCW and Rebels did with the PT.Lol was it 2020 when rise of skywalker came out and we were all arguing with khev and jye how the pt stomps the st and how the clone wars and other lore heightens the pt experience but they wouldn’t hear it? I’m glad khev watched clone wars and now is enjoying Ashoka lol
Omg yes. Hayden’s acting in this episode was better than anything he offered in the PT. The look and feel was better and all performances make you wonder how great the PT could have been.Honestly that final season of TCW that came out a couple years ago did a lot to redeem the PT but these new scenes from Ahsoka are what I wished the PT had been all along.
I just find the ST worse because ultimately it went nowhere and offered nothing to SW. At least the PT had a direction it was going.Seeing an adult write some PT era scenes just makes it WORSE.
I can watch the ST over again, not because the story is better, it just has more cool scenes and is better made and acted.
Heres a question for the group, was that REALLY Anakin, or was that Asokas mind reconciling her feeling for Anakin?
It sort of seems to be the latter, and not some force ghost.
People keep saying Anakin taught her this or that, but I do not think it was Anakin, just Ashoka's inner dialogue reconciling her traumatic childhood.
Like you said the story for the PT was always there it just needed to be executed better which we finally got with Ahsoka. Why oh why did George not give us a "Captain America: The First Avenger" style montage of Anakin and Obi-Wan just fighting a string of battles on different worlds to showcase their journey and growth and give a ton of cool and exotic moments I'll never know. But Filoni has largely corrected that mistake in one fell swoop.TCW was always worth it. Ahsoka just enhanced TCW and like TCW made the PT more tolerable.

I enjoy when there are hints of the PT. Some backstory and set up might help the ST feel more as Khev says “worth it”
I assume that the ST was supposed to fit somewhere up there unless it was the PT that both went nowhere and had a direction with better acting than itself and a worse story, lol.I just find the PT worse because ultimately it went nowhere and offered nothing to SW.

PT acting and filmmaking was better but the story was worse.

What if they use the precedent of this latest episode of Ahsoka to say the ST is all a horrifying vision that Luke experiences as another "test."I don't want the ST to be redeemed. I would love if somehow the PT could be. That's the big difference in how I regard those trilogies.
TLJ is the worst thing to happen in Disney owned SW. Even worse than BOBF.Like you said the story for the PT was always there it just needed to be executed better which we finally got with Ahsoka.

The ST might be trickier to "salvage" for the people who didn't like it since unlike the PT their main problem with the story was what was shown instead of what was left out. A montage of "yo mama" jokes that are actually funny won't exactly do the trick in the same way that extra footage of the Clone Wars did.
Plus there's the fact that TFA and TROS seem to both be in direct conflict with TLJ with even ST fans being divided on those so not only would they have to find a way to elevate the ST they'd have to do it in a way that elevates and better intertwines Abrams' work with that of Johnson. No small task.
Fixed itI assume that the ST was supposed to fit somewhere up there unless it was the PT that both went nowhere and had a direction with better acting than itself and a worse story, lol.
I felt that way about the PT until all the PT side projects.There's nothing in the ST that I'd ever want to preserve because it's just all too depressing. I refuse to accept that the OT heroes wound up like that. Total failures to eachother and to the galaxy and then they all die one at a time. No thanks.
When a young Ben Solo turns up or is referenced in post-ROTJ TV or movies that just might be my checking out point. For he would be maybe the earliest possible definitive and undeniable link to the ST and the particular aspect of those movies that I despise more than anything. Han and Leia's one and only child who, together with Luke, they manage to **** up so badly that Luke hides away never to see Han again, and does precisely nothing while said child becomes complicit in the destruction of, what, 5 core planets of the New Republic - and then kills Han.
To this day I don't know how the writers and directors involved expected any kind of reaction from fans other than
I don't want the ST to be redeemed. I would love if somehow the PT could be. That's the big difference in how I regard those trilogies.
That new Rey ST movie might be a problem lolWhat if they use the precedent of this latest episode of Ahsoka to say the ST is all a horrifying vision that Luke experiences as another "test."
"Rey. Rey Skywalker..."
Luke smiles at Rey from the netherworld then turns somber and sad and looks at the ground.
Anakin: "Is that what you fear will happen if you train your sister's offspring? It will only happen if you let it happen."
BOBF Luke awakens in a cold sweat.
Nah, if they deliver on the remaining 3 episodes they'll finish up the Thrawn has returned arc with the Filoni movie that brings all the current players together (Ahsoka , Sabine, Hera, Ezra, Mando, Grogu, Bo Katan & Co., Fennec, etc.) to save the day. Luke will probably show up at some point because they won't be able to resist it. (I excluded Boba Fett because by this time he'll probably have been eaten by his pet rancor lol.) Then if that goes well I could see another series set in pre-ST time, maybe with Ezra and/or Sabine training Jacen while Ahsoka graduates to Yoda status (if she doesn't die heroically in the movie).I would be willing to bet that if this drums up enough positive buzz, Disney will greenlight SOME form of the Clone Wars in live action.
As long as it all leads to horses on star destroyers i’m good.Nah, if they deliver on the remaining 3 episodes they'll finish up the Thrawn has returned arc with the Filoni movie that brings all the current players together (Ahsoka , Sabine, Hera, Ezra, Mando, Grogu, Bo Katan & Co., Fennec, etc.) to save the day.

In the TROS Special Edition release they will come galloping out of the maw of a Purrgil lol...M

We'll do you lastMRI of Bravomite’s brain when Filoni confirms Anakin was really there:

I do, though I get the criticisms leveled against it and even agree with a number of them.KK and RJ killed DSW before it could ever really get going.
You still like it Khev??
I must say I'm a bit surprised at the sentiment from some PT fans that my interpretation "ruins" those scenes. As if Anakin's story was incomplete unless he somehow returned...wasn't his appearance at the Endor celebration enough? I would think more would be happy at the notion that the Force (and by extension much of the mythology of SW) is ambiguous and cool again...
