    I’m not very Star Wars litterate and I quite enjoyed the Ahsoka series.

    Could you explain the concepts you mentioned in your post so that I get what is wrong with this series ?

      Ashoka was okay, but to be honest, the light saber battle scenes felt like the camera was WAY to close.

      I couldn’t appreciate the battle choreography because the camera was pointed at whatever facial reaction they made every time their lightsaber got stuck.

      Which also gives the impression you are watching a light saber fight from a keyhole.

      The night sister battle was much better because of the wider camera angle.

      Writing was fine, characters were fine, Thrawn was rushed out a little fast, most of my family didn’t know who he was and it didn’t feel like they had time to process him before he was yanked out of the story again.

      I realise there might be confusion, I meant Episode 7 the movie (The Force Awakens), ever since that management has been molding star wars into what it is not. Even if succesful a show gets twisted into stupidity later on.

      I liked Ahsoka for the attempt it was, though it was badly rushed from the start, and the ending was rushed as well. I feel the show needed at least 2 more episodes to flesh out the path to the ending. Baylan’s story could have used more time, as did Ezra and Sabine meeting, even Thrawn could have used some more spice.

        Thanks for the precision, I had read your comment too fast and assumed you were talking about the series.
