There was a lot to love about the Ahsoka series on Disney+, especially the finale. Ahsoka Tano, Sabine Wren and Ezra Bridger went on a classic Star Wars romp to defeat Thrawn and the Nightsisters. The match ended in a draw, but arguably it should’ve ended in a clear defeat for the Jedi heroes. In many cases enemies seem to hold back from using lethal force allowing the heroes to win or, at least, survive. Critics of Star Wars call this a mistake, but each time storytellers use that gag it starts to make more sense.History has proven the cure for “bad” Star Wars is simply more Star Wars. In the 1980s, some fans felt the Ewoks and the happy ending In Return of the Jedi was a cop-out. Yet, by the time the prequels hit theaters, it became part of George Lucas’s “Holy Trilogy.” When the reception to the prequels wasn’t universal acclaim, Lucas doubled down with The Clone Wars. While the kids were always on board, that series helped recontextualize and enrich the prequel films for older, more skeptical fans. Still, if one goes looking for flaws in Star Wars stories, they will find them. Of all the great Star Wars fan debates, one is so old, Princess Leia was the first one to make the argument. When the heroes survive impossible odds, it can be difficult to not dismiss it as “plot armor.” However, with repetition and a little bit of the Force, the logic of it all becomes easier to accept.The assault on the Nightsisters’ tower to get to the Chimera and Thrawn was an impressive action sequence, especially for a television series. Yet, Morgan Elsbeth and her Night Troopers chose a strategy that seemed more cinematic than strategic. Before Sabine arrived to help Ahsoka, the troopers could’ve easily taken her out while she was fighting Elsbeth one-on-one.RELATED: Ahsoka Proves Grand Admiral Thrawn Fears One Jedi in Particular
