Ahsoka has just one episode left after Dreams and Madness, Part VII. Remember the days when seasons were something like 20-25 episodes long? Back then, there were cliffhangers and you might have had to wait six months to see a thrilling conclusion. Six months? Now we wait years and get half finished plotlines instead of cliffhangers because the story teams haven't figured out how many years they can squeeze out of an idea.
I sound a little bitter, right? It's hard not to be when you keep telling yourself that it will get better because it has to get better. Half the season is gone. There are still three episodes left. The penultimate episode is going to set up a great finale. The finale...stinks?
Is Ahsoka heading for that valley of despair? The only answer figures to be a decisive victory for Thrawn, but what does that mean in a world we know Rey and Finn and Poe inherit? Are we supposed to keep asking for what's next when what they deliver is always a set up for the next thing and never commits to giving answers because there's something else they might want to mine commercially? Increasingly, it seems people who feared Disney would do what they're doing to Star Wars were right.
Ahsoka isn't all bad and neither is episode seven. Hera stood trial, but she got bailed out of trouble by a gold protocol droid with a note. Ahsoka and Huyang continued on and were in danger! And then they weren't. Baylan sent Shin off to kill the heroes! But she failed. Thrawn set up a master plan! It was to stall. Oh, and Sabine STILL HASN'T TOLD EZRA THEY MIGHT NOT GET HOME.
This is the Way Podcast is not going to stop covering Ahsoka an episode from the finish line, but potential can only carry you so far before you have to produce something special. This series has just one episode to pull out all the stops, but common sense says this is just set up for the next set up.
