I gave episodes 1 & 2 a B- primarily for pacing issues.
Episode 3 resolved my pacing concerns (dialogue seemed to move at a better pace), and the characterization of Hera (the bit we got of her) seemed more consistent with my expectations.
Most importantly, this episode was fun. I enjoyed the interactions between Ahsoka, Sabine, and Huyang. The dynamics of the three are interesting, and Huyang’s pessimism in regards to Sabine’s training gives Ahsoka a chance to be more optimistic than we saw in her interactions with Hera. It’s a good dynamic, and I look forward to seeing it play out further.
Less play with Baylan than I would have liked, but overall I think episode 3 exceeded the expectations I had coming out of the first two episodes.
This episode isn’t going to help the paving concerns. Felt like the episode crawled along and tbh felt like there was way too much time spent on training Sabine. After 3-4 minutes it started to drag on and I found myself really not interested.
I’m still not sold on Rosario Dawson as Ashoka. There’s nothing particularly wrong with it, just that her voice doesn’t match up and it’s jarring every time I hear it.
Very much my least favorite of the 3 so far. Hopefully it gets better, but I’m getting a suspicion this show will entirely bomb with the general public. If you didn’t watch rebels you’ll be beyond lost.
