Watching AHSOKA

So help me I'm watching Asoka. Writer/Director of the first episode of Ahsoka is Dave Filoni a veteran of Star Wars: The Mandalorin and Star Wars: Rebels so the question becomes: what can Real Life offer that Animation can't do? 

Rosario Dawson, demonstrating weight and effectiveness.

Anwer: weight and the expressiveness of the human face. But while Rosario Dawson is clearly in incredible shape for the title role, her face doesn't offer much. That's more than can be said for poor Mary Elizabeth Winstead. Alas, her face just kinda sits there. The face on the animated Captain Syndullah was more expressive and, well, animated. The animated Star Wars: Rebels can still be seen. But if you gotta watch Live Action Star Wars: The Mandalorian isn't bad. 

WP Flashbacks: I really like Star Wars: Rebels. And you might dig this Stanley Kubrick stylings of Star Wars: Andor.
