Don't get me wrong, I liked this episode. I think most people can agree that seeing live action Ahsoka is a dream come true. When I first heard that Rosario would play Ahsoka, I knew she would be great. Having now seen the episode, she was everything I was hoping for. However, I can't help but feel that this episode focused too much on her and not enough on the overarching story. Mando goes to find her so she can train the child, but she doesn't. Instead we get a side quest where Ahsoka is searching for Thrawn and Mando gets into a standoff with Kyle Reese, and then Ahsoka tells Mando to go find another Jedi. In the end, this episode felt less like episode 13 of The Mandalorian and more like The Ahsoka Series Pilot featuring The Mandalorian. This is also symptomatic of one of my biggest overarching problems with recent Star Wars media: Ahsoka's story has gone on for waaaayyy too long. It's kind of frustrating to think that while Luke had to face Vader alone, Ahsoka was just chillin somewhere. I personally think Ahsoka's story should have ended a long time ago. However, that's not to say that this episode was bad in any way. I don't want to be misconstrued. I just think there are some underlying issues with Ahsoka as a whole.
