I said it initially it was a huge mistake to try to bring the animated world into the real world.

First because it would really put the spot light on the performances, and Rosario was just really an uninteresting and emotionless and bland Ashoka and her fight work just could compare.

Second of all the story just becomes constrained.

But a lot of the concepts here in this series weren't great, and the Sabine basically ruining Ezra's sacrifice is a sour spot.

Going back to the start of this, I said halfway through, she doesn't feel like Ashoka. And even explaining that massive character shift to this dour arms crossing all the time made it worse.

At the same time I just hate that they suddenly decided to give Sabine force powers. Her character was great in the animated series because she didn't need force powers, she just was highly intelligent, creative and vicious in her own way.


There was too much character study. And yeah, I would rank this series as my least favorite, though this first season was all about getting Thrawn back to the GFFA and Baylan's quest.

I didn't much like BBF, and Morrison's teeth were just freaky man. But it did have its moment. I can't think a month after watching Ashoka of a stand out moment.

And I leave you with the real Ashoka.


(PS how hard would have it been to sub out Rosario in the fight scenes like they did in the animated series with mo cap like the below fight)
