Star Wars Story Telling - Next Level

Ahsoka is the story we have been waiting for. This is the first time a leap in telling Star Wars stories comes in this series, which is only fitting. If you even kind of like Star Wars, then watch it! Why are you still reading this? Watch it now!

Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (6 ):
Kids say (7 ):

This stellar, female-driven series provides much more than fan service to Star Wars devotees. More of a playful Mandalorian-style action/adventure than the political Andor, Ahsoka gives the live-action treatment to some of the franchise's deeper lore. Many of Ahsoka's characters have only been seen before in animated form in shows like Star Wars Rebels and Tales of the Jedi. This series, once again written and created by Dave Filoni, introduces just enough fresh blood into the already packed canon.

There are a few clichéd scenes that feel out of place, like a rebellious teen wildly riding a motorcycle out of town with a rock song playing in the background. That's Sabine, Ahsoka's manic pixie Jedi girl. She ends up being a worthy foil to Ahsoka herself, who's slightly detached, wryly bemused, and the series' most intriguing character. It's also exciting to see two women in a light saber battle, while another (Ahsoka, of course) swoops in to save the day. These moments keep Ahsoka fresh, making it yet another fun entry for young Padawans and their parents, too.
