I was shocked at how bad Ashoka was, considering that she was a labor of love by Filoni, and the character and story we got was so far removed. Sabine as a force user was a stupid decision. Ashoka was dour, when at her worst in the Cartoons she was still a wise assed optimist.


I also think though it was a mistake to make this live action, and Dawson who is not a great actress, was not physically able to do this role.


Even Thrawn was out of character compared to how Filoni had built him. I'm not saying there were too many chefs in the pot. But, you have to wonder how much script interference happened by Disney.


I mean with Obi-wan the bones of a really good story were there and it was a easy story, but there were so many just outright bad choices and stupid script moments.


I mean I loved the scenes between Anakin and Obiwan. I think Vader was suitably terrifying as young and still raging vader was. Some of the film work was brilliant Vader/Anakin with his face bathed in the bluelight of Obiwan that changed to the red of Vaders saber showing his uncertainty and recommitment to the Dark Side was breath taking. Vader torturing people in that town and lighting Ben on Fire was terrifying.


But the other decisions just dragged the series down.
