I loved the first season of Ahsoka, and this book managed to capture all the important parts of the season. I was hoping for a bit more information on certain parts, but they had to stick to the script. The artwork is very good and made me want to re-watch the season in some cases just for the awesome lightsaber battles.

Since the fall of the Empire, the Rebels are now key members of the New Republic. However, Sabine Wren has never been one to fit in. When her former master/mistress Ahsoka arrives, she asks for her help with a map that could lead to the missing Rebel Ezra Bridger, but also the infamous Grand Admiral Thrawn, Ahsoka and her group will have to make hard decisions, battle politics, conspiracies, and enigmatic new players.

This is a great reminder of how good this season was and the number of revelations threads that can be built on in the future. This book finishes with a varient covers gallery.

[Declan O'Keeffe · Rating 3 out of 5]

As adaptations go this is fine. Art is nothing extraordinary, story adds nothing new, it's just fine.

Been a while since I watched this show so it was very nice to have this refresher. Can't wait for Season 2, or at least more from Thrawn and Ezra, now that they are both back in the main Star Wars Universe.
High recommend.

Reviewing these adaptations of tv shows will never not be weird because it feels wrong to critique the story, since that wasn't up to the authors or artists. 'Ahsoka' was very much a sequel to 'Rebels' season four which makes it extra complicated for me to discuss. I have a review of the 'Ahsoka' tv show here which discusses the story in more detail.

The art was sometimes inconsistent but there were still plenty of beautiful panels throughout and the overall reading experience was pleasant. I never love how the Marvel artists draw Ahsoka's face but I think in this case that is a me problem. She definitely looked like Rosario Dawson as the character, I think I still just picture her in the style of 'The Clone Wars' more than anything else. Thrawn looked excellent here, he felt more like the Thrawn I know than the actor in the show did.

I really can't wait for these characters to appear again, season two of the show needs to hurry up. I'm also so ready to get back into some original stories with this project because I feel like I have been stuck in adaptations world for ages. You can follow along with my 'Star Wars' book journey and find all of my review here!

This graphic novel collects the eight collective issues of Ahsoka: Season One. It makes for a true episodic adaptation based on the television show's episode structure, with some tweaks for ataptive comic book flow. It follows Ahsoka and her former apprentice, Sabine, as they find a clue that may lead them to Thrawn and Ezra. Ultimately, they fear the return of Thrawn, as he will bring forth his wrath in a second coming of the Empire. Few believe this can even be possible. The New Republic will reap what it sows.

One interesting aspect of this collection is the art. The odd numbered issues were done by one group of pencilers and inkers, while the even numbered issues were done by another group. The odds art is superior. It has a smooth flow the way most of the newer Star Wars comics do. The evens pulled me out many times because of some of the odd line work, the shapes more rigid. A missed opportunity with the art is showing the underside of the Chimera, Thrawn's ship, which has very distinctive markings. While they were somewhat showed, it wasn't anything impressive the way a half or full page could have been to pan the expansive view and distinctive markings that make Thrawn's ship so unique and daunting. Overall, I really enjoyed this adaptation and it makes me eager to see where the stories of all of these characters will go. Truly one of the most exciting aspects of Star Wars since 2012.

5/10:
I’m a HUGE fan of Star Wars: Ahsoka (2023), so I was hoping this adaptation would be just as good, but it’s just not. It’s a linear adaptation with nothing new added to the story and important scenes trimmed down for brevity. The art is fine outside of the faces which are absolutely atrocious, but shoutout to the cover artists throughout this series.

Hamato Xiono still absolutely sucks and I wish he would’ve died alongside the First Order’s destruction of Hosnian Prime (years after this story, but still, the day he dies will be celebrated).

3.75 Ahsoka is my favorite of the Disney+ Star Wars series and while it was cool to revisit the story in comic form, there really isn’t anything new to be found here. It’s beat for beat the television series with nothing extra. I don’t really see the point of adapting a series without any additional scenes or perspectives. That said the story definitely works as a comic. The streaming shows have taken the place the novels used to occupy back when new onscreen content was rare and Ahsoka has a great EU vibe that comes across in this comic.

Sure, it's a long read (they didn't split this season into 2 collections like they did with The Mandalorian) but it's a handy recap - much quicker than watching the show. I also found the casting choices for Thrawn and Hera VERY distracting (something wrong in both their faces idek?) and the art in these issues eliminated this annoyance for me lol

[Jackson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Just a straight up adaptation. Nothing new added to the story, but not a bad telling of the TV series. The artwork is good -- except for the faces. Some of them are pretty darn rough. I do like a lot of the alternate covers for this series.

If you like the show and want to collect adaptations-- then this could be worse. But if you are looking for new content, then you won't find it here.

This was a nice way to re-experience the Ahsoka show. I wish it had gone beyond the show a bit and fleshed out the story a bit more or included additional scenes. The art style was also sometimes inconsistent.

[Will Plunkett · Rating 4 out of 5]

Now I can see the series (via DVD, since streaming is not available where I'm at) and not worry about spoilers! Lots of details that Expanded Universe veterans like me love, and wondering just how much of those plot points could be used in future Seasons.

[Craig · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you've seen the show on Disney Plus, then you've basically read this, as it's the exact same story. It's a good story, worthy of four stars. The art's not bad. I just wish I knew where this is going next...

[James · Rating 5 out of 5]

Better than the series. I liked the reveal of the Chimera. Some good parts and possibility. Many loose ends though.

[Brian · Rating 3 out of 5]

If you didn't catch the tv series, this is exactly what you missed.

[Robert · Rating 1 out of 5]

What is the reason for these adaptations to exist? They are rote transcripts of the TV version with neither insight nor deviation.

[Ross · Rating 3 out of 5]

for an adaptation of a TV show, this is better than most...
