You're right. Compare Ahsoka's reaction to seeing Ezra again to her reaction in Rebels when she saw Rex again. Even the animation revealed much more emotion, but subtle and overt, than Rosario Dawson did in live action. I don't think that's Dawson's fault. I think for some reason Ahsoka as a character is being directed to be an "inscrutable wizened monk" trope instead of the Ahsoka she's been in the Clone Wars and Rebels. They've made her more like Yoda, when she'd always been more like Anakin. And, no, an additional ten years wouldn't make that difference. In fact, Dawson played Ahsoka more as we knew her during her guest spot on The Mandalorean under different direction. Your comments about Sabine are even more cogent.
Only way to fix it is to start over with a different actress who actually watched The Clone Wars and understands the character. Ahsoka wasn’t some dour emo arrogant angry a&& hole; she was a fundamentally positive, centered individual with good character that let that character guide her loyalty to her friends and her opposition to those that would hurt them. Plus Rosario Dawson can’t handle a light saber choreography to save her life. Her fighting looks ridiculous.
He makes some points but his first point is funny. From a story telling perspective having the Jedi be more emotional and less disciplined is good for plot. But then we’re just saying the character was written as “too” close to the light side to be entertaining.
i have had a hard time getting over the age. from the first time she was introduced in love action (mandalorian) i thought she was to old. in rebels she appears to be maybe 10 years older than sabine, within 5 of hera. in live action she looks 10-15 years older than sabine an 10 years older than hera. she is supposed to be 5years younger than anakin but looks more like 5 years older than anakin.
How to fix Ashoka. Hire a different actress. Her lightsaber skills were abysmal.

The Character is fine. The problem is the writing. How about hiring real writers instead of the woke activist they are using now.
Yea, it should have been a shoo-in. It has moments of brilliance, but so much wasted screen time, like someone is padding the script.
