@The Gangster Computer Quote/reply function seems to only break on long posts. Great for stopping autism slapfights, annoying if you want to keep up with multiple conversations in one post. Hopefully the XenForo replacement will address the problem when it comes Soon™.
Another thing that needs to be said, in relation to your comment, and I speak for lots of folks when I say this: the main problem with orange waifu at the end of the day boils down to the fact that she had the opportunity for a meaningful, impactful, hell even decently-written death that meant something, and Furloni could not fucking stand it, and literally invented SW time travel to bring her back, breaking the entire SW universe into a billion pieces, which he then shoved into his ass.
I don't say this to pick a fight, nor to imply that Rebels was any good. It too had the opportunity for greatness (or a decent place of relevancy), and dropped the ball HARD, devolving into Furloni wankery.
The wolfaboo has yet to learn one of the most important lessons of fiction writing: sometimes, you need to kill your babies.
I get it. It's hard. You invested so much time and
orange teenage waifu masturbation energy into your creation. You made something that not only you, but also others got invested in. You've been with your character for so long, you can't stand the thought of their adventures coming to an end. But sometimes, you've just got to let go. When you've reached a satisfying point to end their story, you commit to the finish.
In Ahsoka's case, yeah, she should've gotten fucking merc'd by Anakin, even after leaving the Jedi Order. It would serve as a poignant end to her storyline, tie up the loose end, and serve as further illustration of Anakin's fall to the Dark Side. I think anyone who isn't fapping to orange jailbait would agree that that was the only logical way to finish off her story.
But like a kid playing with his action figures, Furloni doesn't want to quit. So he shoves in some plot convenience to allow her to survive Order 66, likely justifying it by claiming that "well Obi-Wan and Yoda survived so why couldn't she?!" Then because he can't help himself, he brings her back in Rebels and has her face off against Vader again. And once again, he had an opportunity to write a decent ending for her. Yeah, not as satisfying, but it would still be pretty sad to see her realize that her former master couldn't be turned from his dark path, maybe sacrificing herself to let Space Aladdin escape.
But
nooooooo. If she dies, then Furloni can't play with his favorite toy anymore! So he invents the space anus, magics her from death with time travel, and she gets to go off on more adventures and show up everywhere else in Disney Wars. She's basically Space Jesus whenever MaRey Sue isn't around. Of course, Ahsoka's just the most prominent example, you see this with every one of the wolfaboo's OCs.
This is basic creative writing shit right here. I'm not much of a writer beyond my shitposts on the farms, but even I know that keeping a character alive long after their logical story conclusion is not good writing.
ETA: Okay, I had an additional thought that I wanted to expound upon.
I said that "keeping a character alive long after their logical story conclusion is not good writing," and I stand by that still. But I could see a Furloni fanboy arguing, "oh yeah, well what about Luke? his story ended in RotJ, so by your logic, all his EU adventures should have never happened. checkmate, old man!"
The difference is that for Luke, while that's the end of
that story, that's not necessarily the end of
his story. I mean, yeah, at the end of the movie, the Emperor is killed, he redeemed his father, and he's going to usher in the return of the Jedi (roll credits). Loose ends are tied up, story's over, everybody go home.
The thing is, for Luke, it's not beyond the realm of possibility for him to have more adventures. The galaxy's a big place, and there's bound to be more threats out there to deal with. Like, oh, I dunno, the remnants of the Empire who are not about to accept New Republic rule without a fight? Or the clone of the Emperor out for revenge? Or some extra-galactic threat nobody saw coming? While the story of the OT ended there, his place at the end was open-ended, and thus his story could continue.
Now, maybe George could have gone a different direction. Maybe the self-sacrifice narrative could have been applied to Luke instead of Anakin, and he sacrificed himself so his father could live. Would be weird, but if it were built up in that way (along the lines of "I'll bring you back to the light, even if I have to die in the process"), then it would make sense. In that way, if you pulled the rug out from under the audience and said "haha, no sacrifice today, everybody lives," then that would be writing that was as bad as Furloni's inability to kill off Ahsoka already. Same applies to if you did that to Vader, now that I think about it.
The issue with Ahsoka's survival has always been that RotS ended the stories of nearly all Jedi the same way: death by the nascent Empire, whether stormtroopers or Anakin's blade. The more asspulls you make where another Jedi miraculously survives, the more incompetent Sheev gets and the worse the story becomes overall. To do so just because you don't wanna see your precious jailbait waifu die is as bad as a fanfic author.
So yeah, the wolfaboo's a hack. Who'da thunk.
