If you're looking for a host that will put a positive spin on any criticism of Ahsoka and overlook the awful plotting, bad writing, and focus on only the highlights, then you may want to skip this episode of This is the Way Podcast.

Disney's purchase of LucasFilm has finally "broken" the host and as a day one Disney Plus subscriber, cancelling the service felt like defeat. Hey! Something in common with Sabine and Ahsoka in the show!

Thrawn is no military genius. That's not what we saw. Sabine shouldn't have finally accessed the part of her that can sense the Force because that's not what we've been shown. Ahsoka didn't suddenly figure out what being a master is all about because you cannot somehow believe that it's okay to support someone in everything they do. That's insane. Well, maybe the World Between Worlds broke her. I'm not even sure that's where she was when she saw Anakin anymore, although, hey, he's not concerned with Luke and his grandson because he's hanging out in another galaxy.

I swear, if Disney tries to tell us she starts a new faction of the Jedi and that's her "purpose" in this other galaxy...yikes. I better not hand them any ideas.

Ahsoka's finale is filled with moves that don't make sense and majick that does make sense, but doesn't get used enough. Thrawn fails upward and Ezra gets a Force push from Mary Subine. It's best to stop now before getting upset. Holding out hope until the last minute turned out to disappoint. It's still not Obi-Wan Kenobi series bad, but it's not The Mandalorian or Andor, either.
