Filoni pays a lot of tribute to George Lucas on the first episode of Ahsoka, written and directed by Lucas' padawan, there is no shortage of Lucas' Star Wars references, like the opening crawl, the long spaceship shot, the probe droid and the bad dialogue.
In this first episode we jump right into action because we all know who Ahsoka is, and who her friends are too, that's a good thing. Hinting at Thrawn's (and Ezra's) survival, Ahsoka is tasked with, guess what?!:
Finding a celestial map, left behind by a person who doesn't want to be found, so he can be found. Sounds familiar? I bet that's Kathy's hand, again.
Taking place a few years after the events of Episode VI, the ships, aliens and technology is as OT Star Wars as you're going to get. Nice sets, VFX and music (which is very similar to the OT soundtrack).
Acting is ok, I've always liked Dawson, and her animated counterparts come to life quite nicely, maybe except for Sabine, who has a pedantic, mean girl attitude, "because she is a Mandalorian".
Clocking at 52 minutes, this episode is nothing to write home about, but let's hope sets up the story for what is to come, we all know we are going to see some form of Vader, and I'm pretty sure Luke will be in it, too.
