TV Discussion The Ahsoka Tano Mega Thread Power Hour

My guess is that the arc was used for Rebels. Maybe the thing Sidious was after in the unfinished arc was a portal or relic to get into the WBW

 

If SOM is written as if this is the first time the Council has heard from Ahsoka since her depature, we'll know the Sith Shrine arc was decanonized. The teaser trailer already made it look like it was the first time Anakin saw her...

 

Remind me what the Sith Shrine arc was supposed to be about.

 

TLDR version: Ahsoka learns of some threat to Yoda and (reluctantly, I assume) teams up with the Jedi to investigate what turns out to be a Sith Temple buried underneath the Jedi Temple.

 

What? I've somehow missed this.

Going off that statement, the only thing I can imagine is that some depressed / suicidal person, mentally connected with the character of Ahsoka Tano to the point of taking control of their life and changing their mind about dying. Or perhaps Ahsoka / Ashley / Her Universe gave some woman the courage she needed to get out of an abusive relationship or such like. But this is the first I've heard of it, and now I'm curious. What's the backstory on this one?

 

One can argue Ashley has indeed saved the lives of many women, albeit indirectly, through her campaigns on behalf of mental health support and of course her Its Your Universe book.

 

That's really cool about the Ahsoka cosplay. I know Ashley had mentioned a special "Ahsoka Lives!" meetup over the weekend with Ahsoka fans at the celebration; and I'd imagine there were at least a few dozen of them there. When I attend NYCC in October I find it fortunate to spot even one Ahsoka cosplay.

 

Ugh... If anything had to be de-canonized, I wish it would be this.

 

You can hear Ashley make the statement during her "Sisters of the Force" panel. She makes it at the 7:20ish minute, the context starting at the 6:20ish minute.

 

Unpopular opinion: I think replacing Nyx for those 2 girls was the right move.

 

I highly doubt this will be unpopular opinion lol. Having said that, I disagree to an extent. I do not think it is a bad move, as I have not seen the episodes (and tbh, when I do see them I will probably love them) however I have grown an attachment to Nyx. Even if he was not the best character and written completely differently then I imagined, which is just a street kid who teaches Ahsoka how to live on her own, I will still miss the idea. As opposed to the two sisters who appear to have had each other.

Either way, Nyx will be interesting as he is a character fans of the show have known about and now know will never come to be.

 

I don't know if Nyx is supposed to be a temporary love interest for Ahsoka; but I'd suggest it might be hypocritical if you'd accept Nyx as a new character to be associated with Ahsoka while having a problem with Lux throughout the last few seasons of TCW.

 

Ahsoka anyway is going to learn about the underworld from the 2 sisters.

 

So does post-RotJ Ahsoka still have her white lightsabers or just a staff? Unless the one in Galaxy's Edge is just a replica?

 

And I meant I prefer the concept of one character over two, not necessarily because it is a female over a male. I would rather just one female too, because I think they could bond with Ahsoka about being lonely. Having said that I am not writing it and I know I will still love it, just something I hoped for.

There is an Ahsoka lightsaber in Galaxy's Edge?

 

Yup. During the Celebration live stream they showed them off. It's based off the white ones she uses in Rebels.

 

Few things:

a. Top 5-10 favorite Ahsoka outfits?

b. Is it fair to say Ahsoka is the face of Star Wars Animation like Spiderman is to Marvel?

 

A)Can we actually think of 10 outfits that she's worn? I preferred her primary outfit during the latter seasons of TCW above all else. I may be going overboard but I did find her slave outfit on Zygerria beautiful.

B) Depends on who you talk to. I'm biased of course, so you'd have to ask someone without a "conflict of interest".

 

A)
There's at least ten and counting...

- The tube top (her original look)
- Podracer (Legends comic - Crash Course)
- Spacesuit (Cargo of Doom)
- Diamond leggings (Season 3-5)
- Jedi Cloak (Raxes, Onderon)
- Scuba-soka (Mon Cal)
- Slave (Zygerria)
- Eskimo (A Friend in Need, The Gathering)
- Initiate (The Gathering newsreel)
- Borrowed Filoni Cloak (To Catch A Jedi)
- Mechanic (Ahsoka's Journey)
- Prototype Fulcrum (Siege of Mandalore)
- Fulcrum (Rebels)
- Gandalf (Rebels and beyond...)

I'll be an originalist and vote for the original TCW movie look. It was unapologetically non-conformist, unencumbered and extroverted which was exactly the point of her character.

B) Yes.

 

A. my favourites are her season 3-5 main outfit, but I am also really digging her new tcw outfit. Also love the classic because that is when I grew to love the character (first time watching the movie is when, actually). Slave outfit was cute because the blue colour really complimented her skin colour. I would hope someday for another blue outfit for her to wear.

B. I am also very bias, but yeah, Ahsoka is the face of Star Wars animation. If this was asked when TCW was the only show out (in canon) I would have said it was Rex, but it is definitely Ahsoka now, which I love.

 

Speaking of outfits, I kind of like the new pants suit she wears in Season 7; although it looks like they changed it somewhat from the original unaired arcs.

 

May the Fourth be with you. And it seemed that an interesting article (linked) came out today about Ahsoka. It was commented on quite a bit on Twitter.
Anyhow, that Gentle Giant mini-bust they made of her looks just fabulous. If they were to make a live action film with Ahsoka, I think they should try to emulate that vision of her. Very realistic.

 

I like that figure by Kotobukiya


They mention that the new TCW episodes won't be appearing on Disney+ until 2020. Is that true? That's certainly news to me. I was actually set on signing up for the service in the Fall. Guess I'll wait.
