Although I felt Ahsoka was lackluster, I do think you are making a similar point to Kreia in Kotor 2: that is, "Apathy is death." And while Ahsoka's approach to it has lass depth than that of Kotor 2, I agree with it. Ahsoka the character is so stuck in the past and the future that she is loath to make decisions about the now. And that arc, of confronting trauma, healing, and becoming willing and able to exist in the present, is intact despite the fumbled writing, which I'm glad for. An echo of the aforementioned game, not surpassing it, but clear enough to recall it for me. :)
Beautifully made video, and as for highgrounds animation? Ive been following this for a long time, and can't wait to see it all come together ❤ Tukk figure when??
I don't get the (albeit small but vocal) vitriol that Hayden as Anakin is just nostalgia-bait. Disney-Era Star Wars certainly has hiccups in that regard, but Ahsoka is clearly doing this with more intention than superficial callbacks. The mere presence of Anakin flashing into Vader during his Clone Wars era is literally pointing out that Vader has always been there from the beginning, with or without Ahsoka's influence. In a meta sense? This has always been the case before the Clone Wars show, obviously because her character didn't exist during George's Prequel/Original trilogies; her existence is quite literally built on the legacy of Anakin/Vader's teachings, it's a terrifying foundation for anyone to put it mildly-to not have addressed this would've been a disservice to basic character writing.
Its funny you would bring up Maul. That is a shatterpoint in her life (a shatter point is a point in time where the choice you make changes it forever, it would be one of her "Doors" in the World Between worlds.) Had she picked to go with Maul, the future of the Galaxy would have been different. It would be one without Rex and the crew, Maul would have killed them all on the way back to Darthomir, which is where they would have went to plan out the attack on the 501st and Anakin (now Vader). They would have found him on Mustfar It would have been Maul Vs. Obi-Wan Vs. Anakin and whom ever Ashoka chooses to stand with, or maybe it would be a 4 way Battle Royle.
Obi-wan wouldn't take Anakins offer. (if your not with me, your against me) But Maul would have accepted. Could Maul and Anakin Take on Sidous? (remember Savage Oppress and Maul couldn't win)
Love watching the videos man. Though I will say, your use of dialogue gets very jumbled. Implicit’s style shines through and you make it your own but it’s missing the sort of homie feel I get when I watch his videos. I will say it might do you good to add out-of-subject examples. The reason I subscribed to you was because of your witty remark about Westbrook’s empty calorie stats way back when. With how good your writing has gone since then, it would be great to incorporate those types of writing choices to ground the video for the audience. Just a thought! Again, keep up the videos!
Disney messed up the Ahsoka series like it messed up so much else. My favourite character ruined by weak writing, cringeworthy ideas and mediocre acting. Your videos are more entertaining and watchable, even though I think you're giving this series faaaar more credit than it deserves.
I'm sorry, TCW clashes so much with the PT, and these shows undermine and sideline the OT and the characters I care about so much they are just too painful to watch.

You put into words the rush of emotions I was feeling as I watched that last episode in awe. Amazing work as always.
THIS is how you right a good female lead. I’m still not over the new trilogy.
Ahsoka is so much better than every character in the sequels it’s not even close. The writing for her series has been subpar but she is still the best
*write
This video is very moving. Thank you!
Incredibly insightful script. Goddamn, what a great description.
Good job !
HGA and Captain Tukk already has left an impact on me. Can’t wait for the film to grace our screens! Meanwhile, lots of fan art and fic on the way!!!
Great video. Beautifully narrated
thanks for giving it a watch!
Tukk Tales, heck yeah!
Brilliant take again, reminded me of one of your awesome Andor videos!
you knocked it out of the park, again
Could anyone else listen to this guy speak for hours on end or is it just me? Because I just did
Beautifully made video, and as for highgrounds animation? Ive been following this for a long time, and can't wait to see it all come together ❤
Tukk figure when??
I just realized you are the guy from RLCS. How tf did i not connect these before when ive watched you for a few years and rlcs since 2016
HUSH HUSH
Good video. Good insight.
if only the show sharing the name would be as beautiful as her and this script

Yeah I've argued with quite a few idiots who kept complaining about this and I don't get it either.
It's kinda funny how the algorythm just decides that all few months a video goes super viral and then stops recommending anything
FIRST AS ALWAYS

Thought I was watching implicitly pretentious for a sec lol😄
I love him and his videos, I’ve spoken to him in the past about this kinda style and got permission to embrace it for a view or two; really cool guy!

You are out of your mind.

So many people are impressed by word salad. I'm not.
Cool
