New trailer for Ahsoka:

It still looks great. My only real concern: I hope this doesn't go full on, unflawed "girl power". The only heroes really highlighted in the trailer were female, and most of the villains were male. That's not automatically bad, but I worry after seeing how Rey was characterized over three movies (essentially perfect and all powerful). Ahsoka has been a fairly complex character to this point, despite being animated. I hope very much that the show continues that.
Filoni & Favreau are running things with this show so I trust them a heckuva lot more that what Abrams did in the sequel trilogy.
These guys seem to have actual reverence for the franchise and seem much more interested in the storytelling and character developing aspect of it rather that just simply putting these two dimensional characters out there and paying lip service like the sequel trilogy unfortunately did.
But Kennedy is still in charge. She's really turned Lucas Fipm into a pile of trash, maybe worth less than what Disney payed for it. I don't even know if they've broken even yet on the deal. They los 4ooo,ooo D+ subsribers in the middle of Mando season 3.
Disney needs new leadership, and that includes Kennedy and Fiege.
Mando Season 3 is a disaster. Some of the worst writing in the history of Star Wars (which is saying something).
The Mandalorians and their culture just aren't interesting. The characters lack personality and depth. The CGI battles are awful and hold no stakes. We are told about how noble and honorable they are. But what does that actually mean? What are they all about? Why should I care? Despite watching 3 seasons of this show I am not sure.
It feels like a cringey Saturday Morning Cartoon, an advertisement to sell toys.
The series made far more sense when Mando was an actual bounty hunter. The simplicity was fun.
