The most recent #Ahsoka episode is the perfect example of the #enshitification of #StarWars.
The whole episode was undoubtedly conceived by the line "Ahsoka GOES to the planet and finds Sabine & Ezra". But they have to add some unnecessary peril (which has no stakes cos you know they'll all survive) and at the end, basically there's been no advancement to the plot other than "Ahsoka GOT to the planet and finds Sabine & Ezra".
It's mind-numbingly dull & narratively unnecessary.
Remember when the Panama Papers came out? Remember that it evidenced a global network of tax-dodging, wealth-hoarding, criminal activity by the super-rich? Remember how literally nothing happened?
Finished #TheExpanse books finally last night after ploughing through them for the last 12 months or so.
If you're into massive space operas and #scifi epics, they are amazing. The ending was perfect and a fitting tribute to the Roci and it's crew.
For sheer scale, the best #scifi series I've read (and I've read my fair share, only really just pipping the #Teixcalaan duology by the wonderful @067bf45f).
