Despite great potential for its all-female trio, the latest space series takes our interest in the franchise for granted. Even the David Tennant-voiced droid is a missed opportunity
? Or is it a fans-only drudge, like most of Boba, recent Mando and all of Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Our heroine is a former apprentice to Anakin Skywalker, the man who became Darth Vader, who hasn’t followed her master to the Dark Side. Although exactly who Ahsoka is can be hard to pin down, which isn’t ideal for a lead character – she’s a sort of mentor/vigilante/fixer – she cuts a calm but stern figure in an era of fragile progress. The monstrous Galactic Empire has fallen, but fears of its imminent revival are well founded.
