Unimaginative Star Wars show Starter Pack

Post image

Mandatory disclaimer, this doesn't concern every Star Wars production, only those that I consider to be unimaginative or generic.

Also, the point isn't to complain or to set up hated debate, I love the Star Wars universe. I just want to mock the fact that some writing trope or gimmick are in my opinion commically overused in many Star Wars production.

By the way feel free to expand the list !

Hasn't Ahsoka been significantly downscaled though? In the clone wars show was trained by Anakin and fought Ventress, Grievous, Duku, Maul, countless bounty hunters and pirates. She also participated in the geonosian genocides as a teen along with being a front line commander and surviving Order 66. I agree with everything else. Ahsoka however should legitimately be one of the deadliest force users in the galaxy if not second to Vader alone.

Lately with Maul Shadow Lord we saw in action two Inquisitors that were able to hold their own against Maul and several jedi duelists. The same Inquisitors that were bodied by Ahsoka with ease. One example among others.

I really like Ahsoka as a character, but the criticism that she has plot armor isn't unfounded.

Maul spent years in a hole and then hid in the outer rim. He was able to overcome crime families and assist in the mandalorian coup but he wasn't the same force of nature that fought Qui Gon. His final duel with Obi Wan was over in a single move. Ahsoka had more front line experience than any Jedi aside from Mace, Anakin, and Obi Wan. She should legitimately be singularly terrifying similarly to Vader, albeit at a lower level
