TV Discussion The Relationship of Anakin and Ahsoka

In other words... exactly what they did.

 

Yikes, you're laying it on thick for sure. You make it sound like Ahsoka was turned into some sort of Dave Filoni phallic compensation device. Which is ludicrous to me and not what I saw her as at all. I thought she was an okay character, start to finish.

But I'll leave it at that rather than post another wall of text in this cyclical argument.

 

The GFFA isn't the same without the almighty Ahsoka.

 

I agree. It'd get pretty boring around here if everyone agreed. Besides, I've always enjoyed hearing the reasoning behind differing opinions. I may not agree with them, but it's still fun to expand the scope of a given topic that way, IMO.

 

I don't even recall anybody talking about how great Ahsoka was... not any more than, say, Domino Squad, once they proved themselves. Yes, she had more screentime, but what I'm saying is, it's proportionate. TCW = happy resolutions, happy resolutions = commendation at the end of the episode. I'd love to see examples outside that logical context...

I have no problem with the opinion, but I've only contested the cited facts to back that up as being arguable at best. Personally, if I like or dislike somebody, I don't need a reason. Sometimes somebody rubs you the wrong way, sometimes they strike a chord. Sometimes it just sounds like people get mad for a character they like saying something positive about a character they don't like. But... they're not real. I just don't get it, 'sall.

But if this has to resolve in another strawman argument where I'm accused of challenging someone's right to have a certain opinion (and not what I'm actually doing, challenging individual "facts" cited in support of that opinion), then so be it. Let's light this thang up right, yall! Strawman party!

 

I was always indifferent about Ahsoka. There were times when she was boring as hell, sometimes she added dept to the episode. But I'd never say she was the most amazing character in the GFFA ever created.

 

Edit: Inappropriate.

There's some mental imagery I could have done without.

 

Hmmm... That's just a BIT darker than what I was imagining!

 

Jedi mind trickery would be quite useful in that situation.

*Waves hand* "I did not have sexual relations with that woman"

*Monotone voice* "You did not have sexual relations with that woman"

 

*Reads some of the posts on this page*

*Mental images invade brain*

*Goes to fridge and takes out a wine bottle*

*Pours self a glass and starts drinking* Oh yes destroy those images...

anakinfansince1983 I actually have a nickname for ROTS Padme and that's Housewife Padme.

 

He was breaking her heart or she was breaking his heart?

How about Tarantino Padme...

Two of the Jedi Order's most promising young lights just disappear. It causes a bit of consternation, since one of them was the so called Chosen One.

Decades later, a chain gang of Imperial troopers on punishment duty cleaning out the depths of Coruscant discovers the skeletal remains of an unidentified human male and an unidentified togruta female in a garbage dump. As much of an autopsy as it is possible for the company medical droid to perform, reveals that they suffered extremely painful deaths, with lots of obvious deliberate torture. The discovery gets filed away and lost in the bureaucracy somewhere and nobody is the wiser.

 

If Ahsoka being the main character with episodes structured around us seeing unfolding events through her eyes makes her a pet character, okay, but that basically just defines protagonist.

 

Indeed, to a certain Dathomirian, Ahsoka is "Skywalker's filthy, obnoxious little pet." FWIW...

 

Especially when she's made to save the day during the Slaver arc. Literally out of nowhere and arguably robbing the storyline of its major theme. Why? Cause Filoni has a crush.

 

Now that I think of it, during the commentary for the Slaver arc, Dave actually admits that he deliberately changed how the slaver thing was resolved just because he wanted his Super Special Awesome Uber Padawan Chosen One Sex Goddess to have her moment of triumph.

 

He also admits that they switched to a more modest, classy costume for his... what is it? Super Special Awesome Uber Padawan Chosen One Sex Goddess?

And it makes perfect sense, the comic wasn't well-structured, the Togruta were her own people so of course she went straight for them, though she didn't actually do anything except damage control, her allies did the actual saving, so on and so forth, gg no re.
