The Ahsoka series should have been animated
Personally I am of the belief that the Ahsoka series should have been animated. It sucks that there is still a belief that animation is just for kids, and live action would draw in a larger audience. Animation brings more range and opportunities that live action just can't capture, and the fact that something is animated does not even slightly mean it is solely for kids. And honestly, viewers of Ahsoka would have had to watch both Clone Wars and Rebels to even understand who half the characters were and why Ezra and Thrawn were important.
There would be a much better range for fight scenes, and the actors apart from a few, like Eman Esfandi, David Tenant (even as a voice actor) and Lars Mikkelsen were very wooden and didn't really bring the characters to life. And that scene in the finale where they're deflecting the shots from the stormtroopers inside the fortress was choreographed horribly. Animation would have allowed for more of the action filled fight scenes we saw in Rebels and Clone Wars.
They also put to much focus on Sabine becoming a jedi, I didn't really see any hints of that in Rebels, and I think it would have been really cool to see her use some of her mandalorian gadgets. and animation would have provided much better opportunities for them to be used like we were able to see in Rebels.
The show was also essentially Rebels season 5. I think that was actually confirmed somewhere (don't remember where though). I think they should have named it differently, like Specter Crew or something. and animation would allow them to include characters like Zeb and Kallus. But unfortunately, much like the Kenobi series Ahsoka ended up being turned into a side character in her own show.
Animation would also provide more opportunities for continuation, as well as making effects like nightsister magic (the way they used this in the show made no sense at all) and explosions fit in better with the setting. Animation also means that you can get acrobatics and fluid movement from the characters you expect them from like Ahsoka, without actors having to worry about prosthetics.
Thoughts?

Things that went through my mind during Ahsoka Episode 6
Ahsoka is talking about not having enough time to prepare Sabine to make the right choice about leaving to find Ezra, when I don’t think any amount of training could have changed her mind. Kanan’s gone, Hera, Chopper and Zeb are often off doing New Republic stuff. Even with Ahsoka back as her Master, she is probably still feeling extremely alone. She loves Ezra, and there is no way Ahsoka could have convinced her not to go.
“Perhaps for Sabine it was the only choice.” See, Huyang gets it
Huyang saying “A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away” is making me laugh my ass off
It’s hilarious, yet makes me slightly uncomfortable, since Star Wars never really breaks the fourth wall
How dare they not let Sabine share a room with her new girlfriend, Shin
OKAY BUT SERIOUSLY. LOOK AT THE WAY SHIN LOOKS AT SABINE IN THE COCKPIT, I love my space lesbians
Wow, Shin has talked more in this episode than she has in the whole show so far.
Baylon DEFINITELY has his own plan he is hiding from Morgan and the witches. Can’t wait to see how that goes
SABINE IS FINALLY USING THE FO- oh, never mind
The shot of the battered Star Destroyer arriving combined with the music is giving me chills
Hey, those are some cool ass looking Stormtroo- OH SHIT ITS THRAWN
ITS ABOUT TIME
Such an amazing entrance into live-action for him. I feel it is definitely succeeding at letting casual, non-rebel-watching fans know how important and how big of a figure he is.
I’m sorry but he still totally looks like a blue Elon Musk. 
Soooooo… Where’s Ezra?
I just know Ezra would love collecting all those cool Stormtrooper helmets
I don’t know what the rat-dog thing  is but I love him
SABINE USE YOUR LIGHTSABER
Oh hey, she actually listened to me
Lars Mikkelsen is doing a great job so far at portraying Thrawn in live-action. His mannerisms and body language are just like they were in Rebels. 
STOP YELLING AT THE RAT-DOG, SABINE, HE CAME BACK AND IS TRYING HIS BEST
No, but seriously Rat-Dog is adorable and I would die for him
*Me singing* Teenage mutant ninja turtles, teenage mutant ninja turtles!
TMNT-looking dudes know Ezra… Okay where is he then?? 
AGHHHJBJKSDK IT’S EZRA
EZRA I MISSED YOU *actually crying*
Ngl I’m kind of sad his hair isn’t blue BUT I’M STILL SO HAPPY HE’S HERE 
We all needed that hug, let’s be honest
Rat-dog is called a Howler? Good to know.
I was so scared that Ezra would be all traumatized, depressed, and a shell of himself when we saw him again, I’m so happy that’s not the case. He seems to be doing great, all things considering
I wonder if Sabine will give him back his lightsaber, or if he has been using the force at all since he’s been gone.
I hate to nitpick, but, they made his eyes blue (which I’m happy about) but not his hair??
Oh right, for a few minutes, I actually forgot Ahsoka was on her way and that this was her show
Like how last episode was for TCW fans, this episode was for Rebels fans!! Another great episode.

Anyone who had doubts about Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn has never actually looked into this man's work. My man plays in crime dramas for a living, specifically Danish ones. If y'all have never experienced those, then I guess I can see where y'all's doubt can come from. But as someone who has (through osmosis, I suppose), I knew this man was perfect for the cold, calculated horror that is Thrawn. Crime dramas are the bread and butter of us Nordics. Cold and calculated are our thing.

"It was a very emotional moment that I didn't expect to have," Mikkelsen says. "But I think there's a lot of love to be taken care of from the audience. And I felt enormous gratitude. It was amazing. Never tried anything like that."
How emotional was it for the man playing a character that often appears to have no emotion? "I had a hard time actually keeping my tears back," reveals the actor. "I was really tearing up. I didn't expect that."
Nor did Mikkelsen even expect to be asked to reprise his role, but when creator Dave Filoni came calling (again), the Grand Admiral was more than happy to answer. "When David finally asked me if I wanted to do it, there were no doubts. Of course, I wanted to do that, so I'm very excited. But [as far as] the transition between Rebels and the actual live-action character? I hope it works!"
So do fans, who first started charting the journey of Grand Admiral Thrawn upon his introduction in Timothy Zahn's revered 1995 expanded universe novel, Heir to the Empire, which kicked off the first Thrawn trilogy of books. As for if the Thrawn we meet on Ahsoka will be different from the one introduced on Rebels, Mikkelsen notes, "In many ways, it's the same character. He's based on the same material. But we needed to think: Do this right."
Mikkelsen says he did not go back and watch old Rebels episodes to help refamiliarize himself with the blue-skinned, red-eyed Chiss also known as Mitth'raw'nuruodo, noting that while it's the same character, he also "wanted to create something new." And how does he see that new yet familiar character we will see on Ahsoka? Is he an irredeemable villain, or a military genius merely employing tactics to achieve the ultimate goal of victory? Maybe it's a little bit of both.
"He's a top strategist," says Mikkelsen. "He's always seven paces ahead of anybody else. And ruthless, of course. But only when it's needed, actually. I think he thrives also with the creativity of the surroundings. I mean, he's not using people in a bad way. He's using their creativity to reach his goals."

I just finished Ahsoka and I have thoughts on Grand Admiral Thrawn. I actually really like Lars Mikkelsen as Thrawn. Now, I will concede that the design of his eyes was Not Great, the overall visual Elon Musk/Commander Data vibe was Not Great, and the uniform was ill-fitting and made him look ill-proportioned. HOWEVER, Mikkelsen's voice, speech pattern, physical stance and facial expressions were absolutely fantastic. His physique was excellent and IMHO made a lot of sense for a Chiss, a species that lives in an extremely harsh and cold climate. Bodyshamers can fuck right off, there is nothing wrong with that man and there is no reason to attack him.
Could the costuming have been better? Absolutely! Could the make up/CGI have been better? Hell yeah! But Lars Mikkelsen did the best he could with what he was given and I am in awe.
And I really want to hug a Chiss but that's a conversation for another day.

Why are people shaming the actor? I actually thought he did great as Thrawn so far. People need to chill out and watch how the series progresses.
They regret he's not a hot 20 year old muscular twink and pretend he looks like Elon Musk, wich his blatantly untrue cause he's so much finer than this joke of a man.
I love my twink as much as the next girl, but this is not Thrawn anymore : he's past 65 years old and has been stranded in a desert planet for 10 years and they DON'T LIKE THAT.
I love Lars Mikkelsen to death and him taking back his role as Grand Admiral is a really great move cause he gots the voice and he did his research on the character (contrary to someone with a cowboy hat), his subtle shift of expressions tell us so much about Thrawn and he was the only good choice in my opinion.
Now if you want to really know why they shame him : he had commited the atrocious crime of having a little belly (horrifying, I know, I know) and he's now having a dad!bod.
Wich, you know, checks out since Lars is soon 60 years old and plays a 70 years old. Hard to keep a thin body past a certain age (not impossible, but not common) and they wished Lars spent months and months at the gym to get abs instead of palying with a more realistic body type, wich mind you is not even that fat, for a 60 years old he's still really much in good shape.
That's the gist of it
That and the stupid scenario but that is outside of Lars control.
They should sit back and relax but apparently shaming a talented actor is way funnier.

Musings on Ahsoka
Ahsoka isn’t bad, exactly, it just suffers from comparisons with Andor. And the writing feels very… juvenile? Simplistic? 
There is a schizophrenia in Star Wars. In Andor we have realistic and gritty. The true cost of rebellion both financial and personal. The deals one makes to stay current and relevant in politics. How the heavy boot of law in a fascist regime oppresses average people. It shows us ordinary people trying to live ordinary lives only to have their worlds and hopes and dreams shattered.
Tumblr media
Ahsoka by comparison feels like another universe where we have night witches and ancient maps. And I get that we have space wizards, and people who can live on as Force ghosts, but it just doesn’t seem as visceral, dangerous and as real as the world we see in Andor. And it feels like we have way too many occult and fantastical elements.
Tumblr media
I love seeing Thrawn, and Lars Mikkelsen’s delivery of his lines is pitch perfect. I'm still trying to figure out how Ezra got away and has eluded Thrawn for years. For a Rebels fan seeing the gang — Sabine, Hera, Jacen, Chopper, Ahsoka and Anakin is great, but overall it’s falling flat for me. So far, the episode where Anakin helps Ahsoka find the will to continue to live has been the best moment.
Tumblr media
I’ll keep watching because it’s Star Wars and I love Star Wars, but I wish it had a bit more bite and depth and the dialogue crackled a bit more… actually, a lot more.
I also wouldn’t mind a final ruling on the Zeb/Kallus thing. I’ll accept whatever they present as canon even though I just don’t see that pairing ever working out. I just wish we knew for certain because then I would write to that. Just tell me, are they just very good friends or something more?

Regardless of what you think of the writing the ahsoka show is just... not very well made.
Nothing is propely weathered. it's all far too clean for Star Wars, the movie that INVENTED the dirty space aesthetic. Come on, they made CHOPPER look relatively clean and polished
The bad guys' costumes look like they're surplus from a doctor strange movie
Sabine Wren spends a LOT of time NOT wearing her armour and even when she does, that's not what her armour looks like
The sheer amount of contouring on Lars Mikkelsen's face makes Thrawn look like Elon Musk
lucasfilm is WAAAAAY overusing the volume
The lighting and colour grading make every shot look beige and muddy
The editing paces the show like it was supposed to be a movie, regardless of whether or not it actually was
This show has a budget of over 100 million dollars but it looks like it was made for a fraction of the price. Where is all that money going? Because it is clearly NOT being given to the production crew
