I have fallen in love with the new “Star Wars” series “Ahsoka.” Set in the New Republic era, in a time of rebuilding, the lone Jedi Ahsoka Tano and her crew battle a cult of Imperial Dark Jedi.
The Dark Jedi are trying to reinstate Great Grand Admiral Thrawn in the galaxy to reunify the Empire.
I fell hard for this show because of my love for “Star Wars” Legends and the New Republic era of books and comics I grew up with.
The New Republic and its worlds, the Dark Jedi and the ships from this legend have given form to the show and does great justice as a visual and storytelling thrill.
The story revolves around Ahsoka and the Rebels’ crew, giving reason for Rebels fans to rejoice. There are ties between the many different story arks, all merging with Ahsoka.
The show, its story and visuals draw in even the most casual fan and outweighs the need to watch Rebels.
“Ahsoka” brings back the Old Legends concepts, like the heir to the Empire books with villains such as Thrawn and his Dark Jedi followers, all being brought into the canon.
“Ahsoka” is a breath of fresh air after the great failure of the sequel trilogy. Fans of the Legends will love this show, Rebel fans will love it, and, in fact, any “Star Wars” fan will love this show. So, feel the force around you and return the galaxy far, far away.
