I dunno, I'm starting to think new Star Wars just isn't for me. I keep finding the writing really weak, especially if legacy characters are involved, and Ahsoka is no exception. I really wish they'd stop splitting their storylines up between shows, I keep being confused and then a friend says "oh yeah, that changed in episode 5 of the Boba Fett show". I mean, the Season 2 finale of Mandalorian and the Season 3 premiere are so disjointed that they literally don't function as a cohesive narrative going from one to the other back to back. (I can't really go into detail without spoiling, but they are flagrantly contradictory.)

Sorry, I know I'm supposed to be talking about Ahsoka. I only watched the pilot, but the new Sith pair were the most generic villains I've seen in years. Protagonists make moronic decisions to keep the plot moving, the morals are paper-thin (after seeing Andor spend its whole season analyzing the nuanced nature of loyalty, bureaucracy, propaganda, raised values, and the complexity of human motivations and mentality, seeing Ahsoka try their hand with "How can they still be loyal to the Empire?" "It's not loyalty...it's greed" was like pivoting from F. Scott Fitzgerald to a 5th-grade remedial essay.) I also didn't watch Rebels back in the day so any references or plots carried forward from that show mean nothing to me.

This show was kinda the final straw, I'm probably not going to watch any new Star Wars stuff going forward unless there's a very generous factor in its favor.

Baylan and Shin aren't Sith.  They actually have complex motivations and histories that are expanded upon in the later episodes.  Frankly, I wish they, along with Thrawn, had been the villains of the sequel trilogy.  They're among the most interesting and complex characters we've gotten from Disney Star Wars.  Baylan in particular reminds me a lot of Count Dooku.  The villains in this show make the First Order look like a bunch of chumps.  At this point, I'm more invested in them than the heroes of the show. 

The Shin & Baylan fit more into the Expanded Universe’s Dark Jedi imho.

I was thinking this film really ensured LBT continued. If it had been a flop after the first film’s great success, we would have likely never have gotten fan favorites. I mean I love LBT IV, VI, and X. If LBT II had not done well and transitioned to the lighter tone, my favorites would not exist.

I find myself often referencing Ozzy’s Eggs song with people anytime we talk eggs haha. And Chomper is one of my favorite characters, so without this film we would not have the true Gentle Sharptooth.

Hi there! My name is Jude!

I've been a casual LBT fan for a while now, and have lurked here for a while. BUT FINALLY I've decided to make my entrance with some art! I was watching Jenny Nicholson's' video again and I was inspired to make some human designs for the main gang! I made some of them a little older than they probably are (particularly Spike lol) moooostly due to the fact that children are VERY Hard to draw, but I tried my best!

I hope you guys enjoy!

Very nice! I love Ruby, Chomper, Cera, and Spike. The rest are great too.

Now I want a human LBT series in Nick.

I love how you captured Chomper’s tenderness, and body shape as an adult. Most art I see of him is more traditional Sharptooth design and he is vicious looking.

Great job! Keep using your gift of art.

Who did you like the worst out of the series?

Probably Ruby since she just repeats everything that is happening.

Your avvie is great by the way.

Yes I do. LBTXIV was so much better.
