For all I like #Ahsoka I do worry a little that it's by far the most intra-referential show yet for nu-#StarWars. Like to get the most from it you need to have seen TCW, Rebels, Mando + played at least Fallen Order, + read Zahn's books and I wonder how sustainable a model that is
@euphoriagremlin Filoni has always referenced a lot of adjacent material, I for one am here to get some resolutions for his setups (Mortis gods, World between Worlds, galaxy hopping, Rakata and Kotor references). But I can see a Marvel-ification stemming from this trend, which would seriously hurt Star Wars in the long run.
@shinjiikarus for sure. I guess it's not really a complaint I have, more just an askance observation. I know I'm already the target audience for the show since I've watched, played, read bloody everything, but I do wonder how sustainable that is long term. For example, I think Ahsoka ep 5 is one of the most closed off SW eps in ages - you need to have seen so much supplementary material to get anything from it
