[QUOTE="monkey_roo, post: 563709, member: 2414"] Feeling a bit mixed about this last episode and the series overall. Lots to like, the action was great, throwbacks to the CW and Rebels were fantastic (I love those shows), but as fun as it was you always got the sense it exists to set up the big movie event - nothing wrong with that, but after eight episodes to have not had that big moment, that major conflict that is the pay off for what has been a slow build up feels unsatisfying - although a lot of the buildup has been fun and well done. The cliffhanger is good and certainly sets up what comes next - although the sad passing of Ray Stevenson may mean a change of plans or recasting etc. but overall maybe this should have been a 120min TV movie - part 1 of a 2 or 3 part story and I think would have worked better. Some of the episode ending moments really missed the mark and felt like someone said 'that's a good place to stop for now' rather than looking at the beats and ending on dramatic moments that draw you back, very much a TV exec saying we have 8, 40ish min slots to fill, make it work, rather than letting the story dictate the pace, which is what all writers would prefer. Maybe overall this is the crux of the discussion around SW TV shows, absolutely nothing wrong with Ahoska as a show, some really fun moments, but it also felt stretched and more like the opening gambit in a chess game rather than the main event. Now, that said - I am looking forward to the main event, seeing how Thrawn sews the seeds for the First Order (got to happen), how the heroes from three shows come together to put that Blue SOB down once and for all in what I am hoping is a major conflict moment, lost of ships and lasers and some old school SW fun. The one thing I really loved about Ahsoka was the merch - really felt both Hasbro and Lego pushed the boat out and have given us some great sets, ships and characters - can't knock that :) [/QUOTE]
