What an absolutely perfect depiction of this universe. I'm starting the second episode of season 1 now.

Harsher than I would say is necessary, but agreed that Filoni has created more issues than he’s solved in live action. Maybe it was partly still crawling out of the COVID mindset, but Ahsoka felt so oddly small, both as a story and a production. Give him twice as many episodes to let the characters breathe in between the world building, and the relative freedom from production restrictions that you get in animation, and it would have been better.

Gilroy told a smaller story, but somehow it felt more expansive. The money was spent in ways that made it feel right, and when they needed to dial it back? Boom: arc in a plastic prison, instead of traveling to a completely different galaxy only to film in one sand dune and one hallway.
