Ahsoka, for more star wars, it's good enough. For clone wars tv show fans and rebel fans, it's nice to see familiar characters and storylines continue, as a show it's entertaining for the most part.
I have to be honest, having seen the show in more of less a week, I can't really get myself to remember all too much from it that really felt.. memorable I guess. This isn't to say it's bad. But it lacks a bit of the magic the Mandalorian has, or just a couple moments that really shine. I think this is mainly due to how Ahsoka is written and acted. I really liked Ahsoka's character in the TV show and her dynamic with Anakin. It was a great story and narrative, and her character makes sense I guess from the last time we saw here in the final season. But to me she just feels so... dead inside. But then also there's nothing else to it. It's like spending time with your wise teacher but besides the lessons it's just silence and boredom. The show tries to liven it up with the side characters and that helps. But in general the show tends to feel somewhat dry and just a bit meh.
We get all the showpieces, lightsaber battles, the ships, the stormtroopers, some cool planets, some call backs and nostalgia hits. The Mandalorian template is there. But the characters surrounding it just aren't doing it for me to excel the show to the level of Mandalorian.
VFX, Music, all still really excellent, though the slightly lower budget is noticeable the VFX always looks good. That said, VFX is one part. Choreography is another, which I felt also was a weak point, might be just me but the lightsaber fights feel clunky and slow, and missing the speed and impact/danger that they should have. Even if it's very much a PG show, it just doesn't really have that excitement.
Acting, acting is decent all around, nothing to note. Writing is where it needs work though.
I hope S2 can up it's game a bit.
