Ahsoka has a great rollout, but a cranky, basically stumbling finale, in which several crucial things don't make much sense or are not explained, and those expecting an epic ending in the style of Episode 3 will be very disappointed. The opening has high ambitions. It has an excellent atmosphere and honours some of the traditions of the older Star Wars. Likewise, the fights are decently filmed. However, from the halfway point on, it's a stereotypical rehash without any invention or directorial initiative. Basically a weaker copy of the more entertaining The Mandalorian. The Hayden Christensen gimmick is not enough, although it is used solidly.

Another Star Wars series? You might think it's time for Disney to take a break, but with Ahsoka, that would be a mistake. It's clear the creators poured their love, joy, and respect for the Star Wars universe into this show. Set after Episode VI of the original trilogy, Ahsoka is packed with thrilling lightsaber battles, the adorable creatures we all love, and well-crafted characters. Plus, it has a refreshing girl power vibe that surprisingly fits perfectly. Everything that could go right did, making Ahsoka, after The Mandalorian, the second-best Star Wars series Disney has produced.

It's not bad, definitely better than Obi Wan or The Book of Boba Fett. But Ashoka follows a lot on shows I've only heard of. It kind of goes about its business without thinking about the uncomprehending viewers who are happy with the action and the excellent visual effects but haven't done their homework. So it offers a lot of cool stuff, including zombie Stormtroopers or biting into the mystery of another galaxy. Personally, I was very bothered by some thoughtless details, with some things happening simply to get the characters where Filoni needs them to be. The fact that it doesn't quite make sense is a side thing. I'm definitely looking forward to the next season.

It's a pity about the finale, because for six episodes I had almost nothing to criticize Ahsoka for. The cast is perfect, the series and the Star Wars cinematic universe has once again managed to tie together another nice string, one single episode (and you know what I mean) is better than the whole Obi-Wan series. And Kevin Kiner does an absolutely brilliant job, who knew how far he'd come from his not-so-skillful imitation of John Williams in the early days of the Clone Wars. Season two, please.
