Ahsoka (through e06)
23 Sep 2023 19:39Watching this after Kenobi was so soothing. I can see things! The camera is not having a panic attack in the middle of an earthquake!
I really like the cinematography. The shot in the first episode with Ahsoka spinning her lightsabers around her to cut a hole in the ground was great. There are a lot of shots I'm going to enjoy using in vids here. The visuals are clear and, more importantly, gorgeous.
The premise is a bit wat – there's a map to where the purrgils brought Thrawn? how???? – but that got explained to my satisfaction later on, so, hey.
( spoilers )
WRT the casting, I really like Sabine and I have come around on Ahsoka (though I do wish her montrals pointed up, rather than back). Ezra I'll reserve judgement on until we see him shaved. Hera, OTOH, doesn't look, sound, move, or act like Rebels Hera, so I have huge difficulties buying her as the same character. Also the lekku are all wrong. Hera doesn't really do any action scenes, so surely they could've given her the same lekku they used in the OT for Oola? As is it looks like they're half as long as they should be. Live action Thrawn looks a bit off, but at least they got the voice actor to do it so he sounds mostly right.
(Also I need an Ahsoka icon.)
