TV and Film

Star Wars is one of those series that many fans can show just how susceptible to addiction they can be. This addiction has also lead to several problems where the fans often times feel they know what is right for the franchise which doesn't always have to be a bad thing, but when that addiction stems from highly choreographed lightsaber fights and constant non-stop battles, evoked by George Lucas when he created the prequel trilogy from 1999 to 2005, the little details get neglected that has been established since 1977.

Ahsoka Tano is one such example of fans being completely disillusioned and disappointed whenever the franchise tries to add something fresh. Once one of the most hated characters when Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated film premiered in theaters on August 15, 2008. It wasn't until mid-way through the course of the series, for which the film prompted, that the fans started to adore Ahsoka Tano. A process that is sure to repeat for the character of Rey Skywalker given the fickleness of the Star Wars fan base.

Sometime after the release of the ninth installment into the now deemed Skywalker Saga, Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker. The franchise's new holder, Disney, announced several live action television series starting with The Mandalorean (2019) which introduced the world-wide phenomenon known as Grogu or more abruptly and inappropriately referred to as "Baby Yoda." Other series that followed were The Book of Boba Fett (2021), Obi-Wan Kenobi (2022), Andor (2022), and of course, the show for which this piece is about, Ahsoka (2023), the latest entry into the live action Star Wars line.

A continuation of the animated series, Star Wars: Rebels, years after the events of the Galactic Civil War with the galaxy now being governed by the New Republic. While most of the series mentioned above, with perhaps except to The Mandalorean, have this feeling that they've tried to differentiate themselves to the point where they've isolated themselves from the rest of the franchise. Ahsoka not only adds fresh new takes to the Star Wars galaxy, but retains that feeling of being Star Wars which is always the core factor that any series or writers should bare in mind. This series is a game-changer for sure.

Ahsoka is now streaming on Disney+ and episode three is now available.

An actor from Midsommer Murders who is still alive?

The last person off the TV I met was a local newsreader / reporter. She had come into the car garage where I was having my car serviced as her car had got a problem which needed a quick sort. I was taken aback for a few moments but pushed myself as the opportunity to chat would never likely come again. I ended up finding out she was one of the nicest people I have chatted to in a long time. It really made my day.

That description makes me think of The Handmaid's Tale a bit. 

Shows like that are scary, but I love if they ever fight back.
