Ahsoka

I started watching from beginning of Season 2 with Siege of Lothal. It's horrible. I mean it's written for little kids and I keep reading posts from adults raving about it.

You may need to be primed by Clone Wars and how that went from mediocre to good to great (as good as the original trilogy) as the seasons progressed. I skipped season 1 of Clone Wars originally too, and I don't think it caused many issues (also never seen any of the droid episodes to completion). I think, as others have recommended, if I had watched Clone Wars in chronological order, from the start, it would have made it a bit easier to get into.

For Rebels, you may need more information from season 1, to enjoy the later seasons, even if it is rather childish. I don't think it's story ever comes close the last couple seasons of Clone Wars though, and Star Wars in general is an IP focused on content for teens and children, so if you aren't prepared to sit through it, then don't bother.

The SW movies I watched as a child/teen and the games I played as a teen/20 something are really what allow me to enjoy the Star Wars cartoons, otherwise all the hokey shit would probably be too much.

Give Rebels a try and tell me what you think.

The writing is a little bit above TMNT Saturday morning cartoons and Power Rangers. While the animation is somewhere on the level of 1990s cartoon "Reboot"

Let's be honest, though. The writing in the movies has been Power Rangers level as well, even the old shit from the 70s/80s.

She-Hulk had better ratings. oof

All these shows suck except for Andor

Why cant they just release this show at midnight like every other show they have done..

They could, but they would release it Wed midnight instead of Tue evening

Have to admit, I can’t shake the feeling this is going to go downhill from here. They should have done something interesting like killing off the witch for basically sucking and getting caught or let the dark Jedi chick get killed while wounding Sabine. I just feel we’re going to have some fucking Star Wars Benny Hill chase going on for the next four episodes.

I'm telling you, the first few episodes and the last few are the only ones worth a shit. The rest are buildup filler.

lol, damage control
According to the streamer, the first episode of the series, starring Rosario Dawson as the titular Jedi, has racked up 14 million views worldwide in the five days after its Aug. 23 debut. Disney+ is using the same methodology for counting a “view” that Netflix has employed for the past couple of months — dividing the total viewing time by the run time for a given title.


In Ahsoka’s case, 14 million views of the 56-minute premiere episode would equate to 784 million minutes of viewing worldwide. “Views” doesn’t necessarily equal “viewers,” however, as the total viewing time doesn’t necessarily account for multiple people watching the show together or a single person watching the episode several times. Disney+ also didn’t release any figures for episode two of Ahsoka, which also premiered Aug. 23.

The view figure for Ahsoka represents the first time Disney+ has released any kind of concrete viewing data for one of its titles. Like most other streamers, it has typically only alluded to relative performance (albeit with a baseline for comparison) when touting the success of its series or movies. (Disney+ programming is included in Nielsen’s weekly rankings of the top 10 streaming titles in the United States.)


Data transparency is a sticking point between striking writers and actors and the media companies represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, with both the Writers Guild of America and SAG-AFTRA asking for some kind of residual or revenue sharing for shows based on how well they perform.

I like that the line around this from SAG/WAG is basically "either they are grossly under or over reporting how well shows are doing, and we want to know which", and it feels like Disney is some how doing both here.
