Baronjutter posted:A fun part about star wars is that you can just casually enjoy it and have a good time, or you can become absolutely mentally ill with onion layers of lore that becomes more and more insane the more layers you peel back. All that deep lore being a confusing mix of contradictory and nebulously still official only adds to the madness. It ends up becoming almost like religious inter-sect conflict. It's true. I'm a Star Wars fan and I'm very conflicted about sects.

Rubber Chicken posted:It was intentional direction but it wasn't a good thing. I literally just remembered that Ahsoka was also in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett and was good in both of those. Dawson really pulled off the wise and capable master of the Force in those, so I don't know why the directors didn't let her keep acting like that in her own show. Just a dumb decision all round.

Filoni liked his "Ahsoka the White" thing so much he wanted to do it again. Why her personality barely changes after episode 5 is beyond me though.

It's a shame that COVID basically killed the Mandalorian-style directors gaggle system they had going for a while where all that season's directors just hung around on set and observed whoever it was was on deck to direct for each episode so they could keep the tone of the show consistent. I'd argue it's one of the primary reasons Mando S1 was so good, like outlier good at this point. Imagine if they could have done that but for showrunners if they were this dead set on building an MCU for Star Wars.

What really worked for classic Star Trek is all the actors had the opportunity and encouragement to direct. Stargate as well, every main cast member wrote at least an episode a season I think.

Megillah Gorilla posted:I literally just remembered that Ahsoka was also in The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett and was good in both of those. Granted I haven't revisited the Mando/Boba episodes in question, but I don't recall her performance in those being strikingly different than in Ahsoka. It's one thing for her to show up and be enigmatic and aloof in ~10-15 total minutes of screentime across those couple of episodes; it's when she's the focus of her own show and that's revealed to be the character's only gear that it becomes a problem. I don't think Rosario Dawson is a bad actress, but I think the scripts and stories haven't given her much to latch onto with that character.

If I’m not mistaken Filoni has written and directed every episode that Dawson’s Ahsoka has appeared in so I think it’s safe to assume that’s how he wants her playing the part. I really don’t think he is the right guy to be heading creative.

Give Filoni the money to make anything he wants with that toolset and let somebody else handle the live action stuff.

It's wild to me because he clearly knows so much and has such incredible ideas...for animated series. Let him do all of his pet projects in animation, because he knows what he's about there. The Clone Wars final arc featuring Ashoka and Maul (That's essentially a movie) is tremendous. So why doesn't that carry over to live action? I don't know what it is about live action where he takes such a nosedive. I absolutely want him in charge of creative, but like posters above have said, just not directing live action stuff. I was initially optimistic but he just clearly isn't there, let him continue doing what he is good at.

I think he is the right guy, or at least a perfectly fine choice to be heading creative on a macro sense. He's just not the right guy to be like the sole writer on a show, on the Animated stuff he has a whole team who he's been with forever. Like I generally think the outline for Ahsoka is a decent enough show, but the problem with Ahsoka was the scene to scene writing and pacing. It honestly felt like it got maybe a single pass if that and was done.

It's real loving weird - I was so pumped to have him move to live action cause yeah, the animated poo poo got me back into Star Wars big time but it's been all mostly mid at best minus the obvious - I am almost sick of saying it too. But yeah, Filoni needs to back off.

Written yes, directed no. Most of Ahsoka had other people in the directors chair. That said, he has directed almost half of Ahsoka's live action appearances if my math is right.

Someone a few pages ago speculated that Kelnacca was killed offscreen by a supposedly friendly Jedi who was able to get the drop on him by being a familiar face. That theory seems dead because they apparently filmed the fight but ultimately decided not to include it because it broke the POV of the episode. Not sure how they could’ve done that while keeping the killer’s identity under wraps.

Dave Filoni is awful because I should be the doughy middle-aged white guy with a fun hat running Star Wars, not him. They should be throwing to the Apey Zone on A More Civilized Age, not the Filoni Zone.
