Critics Consensus

Ahsoka confronts a menace from her past in the phantasmagorical "Shadow Warrior," an installment that may lean too heavily into nostalgia for some viewers but will deliver some sweet closure for others.

As nice as it is to see the duo reunited, it boils “Ahsoka” down to the same uninspired purpose that drove every lackluster Star Wars project of the past decade: Nostalgia.

For many, though, tapping into the rich vein of mythology within the existing canon can be plenty rewarding. Ahsoka started slow, but the latest chapters have more than delivered on that level.

This show just can’t resist being almost pretty good before pulling the rug out from under itself.

Episode 5 was a gorgeous and glorious love letter to the animated stories that came before it and the saga they tell.

What’s really happening here is a forced melding of Hayden Christensen’s Anakin and the animated version voiced by Matt Lanter.

The latest Ahsoka episode revives an old face and an old chapter of Ahsoka Tano's life with equal parts nostalgia and emotional catharsis.
