after the duel against Vader, Ahsoka comes out of the Sith Temple. Later that scene was retroactively explained through the World between Worlds, but it was an unnecessary explanation. If they had just said that after the duel against Vader she survived and decided to live a quiet and happy life away from the great galactic conflicts, I honestly think it would have been much better
Trouble is, without her disappearing in the middle of their duel, for Ahsoka to survive she would have either beaten Vader or Vader would have spared her life, neither of which are ideal. I’ll see what comes in her story next but if it isn’t as imaginative as I want it to be, maybe she should indeed have died in that duel.
I agree that Mando Ahsoka doesn’t feel like the same character (mostly because of the inherently problematic transition to live action), and although I love The Clone Wars, I agree these days it’s very overrated. It does a great job of showing the scale of the Clone Wars, giving the prequel era the room to breathe it needed, but when it comes to character development it’s not quite as good and there’s a lot of uninteresting stuff between occasional highlights of the series.
