Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord

Season 1 Finale. Thoughts?

Edit: Also I’m declaring spoilers for all Star Wars content below. Ahsoka, Rebels, Clone Wars, Mando, etc.

    Funny, the fight choreography between Ashoka and Baylan was a highlight of the show for me.

    I loved the deliberate feeling to the fight. It felt more like the classic lightsaber fights. Closer to the samurai duels of old which those original fights were inspired by.

    A major complaint I’ve had against Star Wars since the 90s was how flashy and acrobatic they made saber fights. It made them lose much of their weight.

      Maybe that’s why it feels odd with the two sabers. When she had one against Elsbeth it looked more natural and same with Ezra and Sabine and Shin.

      Maybe the dual wielding in the style of samurai makes it a little clunky

        I think I can agree with that - Ashoka’s two sabers don’t really fit well with the more traditional samurai style combat as they are a relic of the 90s/00s gymnastic style fighting Star Wars had.

        I just realized in the Ashoka/Baylan fight I was thinking of she only used one saber.
