6. Ahsoka
If you look up the definition of the word "disappointment", you'd find Ahsoka as one of the examples.
Nestled at the number six spot among the galaxy's most polarizing Star Wars spectacles, Ahsoka finds itself in a peculiar hyperlane of its own making. This isn't just any detour in the vast Star Wars universe; it's a high-octane dive into the cosmic depths of The Force, wrapped in the mystique and magnetism of one of the saga's most beloved characters. But... if only it had been done well. Not even its fifth episode, the episode that is in my humble opinion the best episode out of any Star Wars show, could make me like it more.
For all its shimmering sci-fi splendor and the profound exploration of The Force that could make even the most stoic Jedi's heart flutter, Ahsoka finds itself ensnared in the very web it weaves - a galaxy-spanning tapestry that, at times, gets tangled in its own ambition. The series, much like a droid with too many directives, loses focus, meandering through a maze of nods to its animated predecessors that, while absolutely delightful to us die-hard The Clone Wars fans, might leave newcomers feeling like they've wandered into the middle of an inside joke, one that requires a holocron's worth of backstory to fully appreciate.
On one side, the series serves up a feast for the senses and the soul, offering deep dives into the lore and mysticism of The Force that fans have been craving like a Tatooine resident dreams of rain. On the other, it sometimes stumbles, becoming so entangled in its reverence for the animated chapters of its lineage that it risks alienating those not versed in it. This balancing act, as precarious as a Podrace through Beggar's Canyon, leaves Ahsoka in a unique position - simultaneously celebrated for its ambitious storytelling and scrutinized for its labyrinthine focus. In the grand scheme of the Star Wars saga, Ahsoka was presented to us as a beacon of potential, a testament to the franchise's boundless creativity, yet it serves as a reminder that even the most dazzling of spectacles can sometimes stray too far into the stars, losing sight of the uncharted worlds waiting to be explored.
And don't get me started on the whole Jedi or not a Jedi bullsh*t. I just can't.
