Featured review
Better Than the Last One, but Nothing Great Either
This episode is definitely an improvement over the previous episode in terms of plot progression, but the quality of everything else stays the same.
We are halfway through the show and I still don't particularly care about any of these characters, especially the titular character that's supposed to be the protagonist and the main character. More and more, it feels like I'm just watching a Sabine show or just a show about a group of rebels or something and not Ahsoka. I haven't watched her animated show, and I shouldn't have to since it's the live-action's job to make me care about and understand these characters. Which has been doing a pretty bad job in my opinion. Like with the Mandalorian, you'd have no doubt that Din is the main character and the protagonist. Even in the awful Boba Fett show, you still see who's the protagonist and why the show is named after him.
But here? I still have yet to feel that way about Ahoska's character. It feels like the creator left the heavy-lifting part of actually making you care about characters to the animated shows. Which doesn't work since I and I'm sure many others haven't watched.
Like it's a fair demand to expect you will who the main protagonist is and you care about her halfway through the whole thing right? But at least, with the ending scene of this episode, we might get to know more about Ahsoka's past hopefully.
I think the bigger problem is that they gave Sabine a character arc and Ahsoka is just kinda there. I think this is the reason why it feels like she's not the protagonist, she doesn't particularly have a character arc or a conflict to overcome. She had some conflicts about Sabine in the first two episodes but she already overcame them in the same episode.
I also didn't really like the direction and the editing of this episode even more than the previous one. Especially with the first fight scene where you don't even see wtf is happening. It gets better after that and the next lightsaber fight scenes are decently shot and edited at least, but the first one is just atrocious. They should get better directors and editors and someone who actually knows how to shoot fight scenes.
I also hate this trope of characters just waiting and staring at their enemy when they have every opportunity to attack them and do damage to them, even when the enemy has their back to them. Like even if you missed and the enemy anticipated and deflected your bullet, at least try? At least try shooting at their head first when they have their backs to you and don't even know you're there instead of just yelling "stahp!"?
Nevertheless, this is probably the most interesting the show has been so far, but it's not amazing either. I mean yes, compared to Obi-Wan Kenobi this is a masterpiece production-wise alone, but on its own, it just has been meh so far. At least the plot moved forward a lot in this episode and a lot happened here and the ending made me a little more interested to see what happens next. But like I said, the uninspired directing and editing, the half-baked characterization that makes you think you're watching the second season of the show and missed all the characterization, and a lot more problems on the writing part just make this show above mediocre and just meh and way less interesting and exciting as it should be.
