So is Ahsoka any good? Well according to many diehard supporters it is. They luxuriate in all the whooshing of lightsabers and its continuance of the the Clone Wars, or is it Rebels (?), storyline. For someone who has not bothered to watch either I find the whole thing pedestrian and not really taking the Star Wars universe anywhere.

We have had nearly half a century of lightsaber’s whooshing surely there must be something else in this galaxy or, spoiler alert, galaxies far far away. Of course there is one show that doesn’t contain one whoosh and that is Andor which does try to move the story on – let’s hope that the end of the writers strike may well expedite the production of the second and final season. However, this appears to have been coolly received by the self appointed gatekeepers of what Star Wars should be so I guess we won’t see anything else like that anytime soon. This is a shame.

As for Ahsoka? I will watch to the end but with no great enthusiasm. I suspect I have finally grown out of the movie I loved all those years ago. This saddens me more than I can articulate.
