I thought they did Ahsoka well. I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. Ahsoka did some CRAZY shit physically. I mean it would be like trying to get a live action Wylie Coyote. But they did a nice job. With the cuts, blocking and effects they used they obviously approached it with care.
Dawson took a second to get used to but I was all in by the end. It was a little evident what she was doing vs what the stunt gal was doing. Still well done. I’m not sure how far they can push the string in terms of having a million action scenes likely they did in the animated series. I think there is possibly a ceiling on how much action they can do with the blocking and effects, but again they’ve earned the rope to hang themselves with.
Re: Thrawn. All I know about him is from Rebels. I’m interested to see where they go with this. Swinging for the fences man. That’s a hell of a swing. That can go all the way wrong. But again. They earned the rope.
Re: Danes comments about it not feeling like Mando. The Ahsoka stuff certainly was a different experience altogether. But the Mando stuff was pure Mando. It was a really nice blend of styles.
Re: Beskar can it really eat a straight cut from a lightsaber? I’d have to go back and watch, but damn I feel like that isn’t what I’ve seen in Clone wars/Rebels. But I could be wrong. Pretty nice flex that Mando was fixing to take a whoppin from Ahsoka. Good that they didn’t have him square up and be her equal. Nice care to take to take a real objective look at how it would go. Really REALLY ****ing well done.
I’m going to be tremendously sad when we hit ep 8.
