Ahsoka Part Two

Ahsoka Part Two

Title: Toil and Trouble
Directed By: Steph Green
Runtime: 44 minutes

Now that we have begun the Part One discussion let’s get into the details for Ahsoka Part Two. This picks up not long after the duel at the end of the first episode in which someone again survives a “Qui-Gon Killer” (I just coined that). I mean that tongue-in-cheek because I really love the first episode.

Before I get too far into it, I want to quickly point out that this episode is directed by Steph Green instead of Filoni. She is not new to directing Star Wars, she directed the second episode of The Book of Boba Fett (one of my favorite episodes from that season). She has also directed one-off episodes from various other series including Watchmen, Luke Cage, Scandal, and Billions.

Ahsoka Part One

Title: Master and Apprentice
Directed By: Dave Filoni
Runtime: 56 minutes

Since both episodes were released on the same day I originally intended to do one post discussing both. However, given the details of the episode and the easter eggs, you’re getting two. Let’s start by saying I loved Ahsoka Part One (and Part Two). This is an amazing episode to start a series. It felt like Rebels. It felt like Filoni.

Setting Expectations for Ahsoka

In Ahsoka, Star Wars

In case you missed it (because you live under a rock), Disney made an interesting adjustment to the release schedule. New Ahsoka episodes will now be available Tuesday nights at 9 pm (EST). That is the first thing you need to know. As far as setting expectations for Ahsoka, it comes down to how much animation you watch.

Ahsoka in Rebels

It has been said by Lucasfilm, Dave Filoni, and even Ashley Eckstein (the original voice of Ahsoka), the animated series will play a role in the story in this season. So let’s just get this out of the way.

If you did not watch Rebels you will probably be lost.

This year’s action/adventure selections have an unintended theme. I wonder if you know what it is. Watching these movies was long overdue for me, especially the latter. Here are July’s selections for 2023:

Ending the Dry Spell Soon

In General Cogitation

Summer always seems to be the time of year when I write the fewest posts. It might be the flurry of activities I have between work, vacations, and the fact that school isn’t in session. All of that is about to change. School begins again in a couple of weeks and the new Ahsoka series starts in about two weeks (I’m so excited!).

I’m also open to topic suggestions but there are a few rules about what I will and won’t write about. Typically the areas I focus on the most are Star Wars, gaming, technology, movies, and books. No politics or divisive topics. There is enough vitriol and gaslighting on the Internet and social media, I do not wish to add to it.

If you have some ideas please leave a comment below (remember, if you are leaving a comment for the first time, I have to approve it). You can also leave a reply on whichever social media platform you saw the link to this post. I’d really like to do more technology posts (since that’s what I spend most of my days doing), I just lack topics.

My Facebook Rules of Engagement

Careful with social media

I’ll be honest, I’m not the biggest fan of social media. They began as a means to stay connected with friends and colleagues and allows us to expand beyond our borders. Lately, however, people only use it to whine and complain about the latest movie or political fiasco. It can also harbor creeps and perverts, so I’m careful, especially on Facebook. These are my Facebook rules of engagement.
