Ashoka

What is it about these spin offs or about the whole of star wars that we find so attractive. Maybe it is the master servant relationship that we see between some if the main characters. 

The possibility of rising and finally making it to the top after training and serving and working diligently. Perhaps its the one liners that come from a Jedi Master as he trains the troubled and unwilling apprentice (is that what they call them in the series). 

Maybe it is the relationships between father and son that are revealed in the latter episodes of the first series and the fight between father and son for identity on the passing of a baton, accepted or rejected. Maybe it’s the unending wars, the creatures, the galaxies, the planets, the travel between each of those the spaceships and the multitudes of languages. 

I remember (if memory serves me right) in the empire strikes back hearing Kikuyu as one of the languages spoken by the aliens! Ashoka is no different. A Jedi master, a Padawan, a captive, a senate made up of rulers, a conflict, an invasion and ofcourse a variety of characters. 

There are heroes who are stuck in the past with relationships shattered by acts of sacrifice. There is a jedi master who us struggling with generational issues or mentorship issues with an apprentice she does not quite know how to rasie or nurture. You have journies back and forth from other dimensions and the struggle to deal with past failures. 

The return of an old and long gone master and the possible survival of an older one. Whats not there to like. Then there are the robots who are in charge of all sorts of tasks and the creatures whether from other planets or the result of experiments gone bad. Creatures tasked healing wounded humans, ferrying casualties of war from battlefields to places of relief. Bots designed to repair space vessels and a lot more.
