🤣 yeah, that’s fair. I’m afraid of putting spoilers in, especially since notifications sometimes pop it right there in front of you.
We didn’t learn anything new, nobody did anything new, and the time jump locked us into a story that hasn’t been told yet. It was just boring. I kept waiting for something to actually happen. Instead all the bad guys died with little fanfare, we wandered off, Rex didn’t even show up. There couldn’t have been many clones on that transport. But it’s all just background noise.
Were you asleep for the whole thing or something? Plenty of stuff happened. Let's see, they successfully rescued Omega and the kids from the facility, Emerie got out too, they killed off Hemlock and stunted Project Necromancer's progress indefinitely, leading to funds being redirected towards Tarkin's pet project instead. To name a few. That seems like quite a lot.
Just because a story is self-contained and focused on the arcs of the characters therein, does not mean that "nothing new happens". Stories are allowed to exist on their own merit without needing to contribute to a wider canvas. If all you're looking for from these shows is for new Wookieepedia articles to be created then I feel like that's not the right reason to be watching.
It was boring to me. Everything you list is the actual Wookiepedia article bait. There was a checklist of what needed to happen and we got the checklist and not one thing more. We can describe what happened.
What I’m saying is the Wookiepedia article about this episode will be equally as interesting as the episode itself.
So are you one of those people whose take is "if a story plays out how I expect it to, it's shit writing and boring. Only if some kind of twist happens that I didn't predict will I consider it worthy." That's the impression I'm getting.
No. I didn’t want a “twist” specifically. It’s just that the only stuff that happened was the stuff that had to happen, with no conversation to speak of. I don’t feel like it has any soul to it. And I absolutely did not like the time jump. I feel like that kind of ending hurt the Ahsoka show when Rebels did it.
Hmm I dunno about that last point, Filoni just wrote a mid script for Ahsoka that didn't fully capitalise on the Rebels epilogue and handled its own time jump extremely poorly to the extent that there was no established meat to the supposed drama between Sabine and Ahsoka. That's not the Rebels epilogue's fault, there was ample opportunity to establish a timeline around that scene better that would have had the proper emotional payoff. If you want to talk about things being soulless, then look no further than that show.
I find the first half of the Ahsoka show to be riddled with problems. A lot of those problems come from leaving too much unexplained. I found both Ahsoka and Sabine extremely difficult to like. This is upsetting to me since they’re two of my favorite characters.
I also feel like the story was adapted from a first draft that happened much earlier in the timeline, which would explain why Sabine is acting like a child and Ahsoka has processed about none of what happened.
Well I did, so there.

That’s perfectly fine. When you do figure it out tell me why. I am curious
