Screenshot: Lucasfilm / Kotaku A race to stop the heirĪhsoka has its flaws, but even haters have to admit that by its midway point the series had abandoned any potential plodding plots and carved away at the excess fluff of the kind that had bogged down The Book of Boba Fett and the most recent season of The Mandalorian. So, how did the final episode of Ahsoka season one go? Let’s get into it. And by the time the episode fades to black, those with some Clone Wars-level knowledge will know that we have somehow ended up circling back to one of the most bizarre (and arguably one of the best) stories from the animated series. Rebels stakes are raised and then paid out, in various ways. There’s magic, there’s zombies, there’s more references to Japanese samurai films, it’s a Filoni favorite fest. ![]() If the winkingly referential title “The Jedi, the Witch, and the Warlord” doesn’t make you bemusedly shake an invisible fist at the sky in the name of the lovable dork running this show, then everything else in the episode will. Hit the back button now if you’re trying to avoid spoilers, and come on back once you’ve seen the episode. In case you’re not in-touch with millennials and unaware of how we like to merge words together to create new ones, meme-vertising means: advertising with the help of memes.Editor’s note: As we’ve noted on each episode review, this article contains significant spoilers for Ahsoka Season 1, Episode 8. If you don’t even know what memes are, I can’t help you. There’s been some debate in ad agencies about using memes as a way to promote a brand. The divide has never been greater on the issue, as some think using memes is “ like totally the new big thing” while others think it’s “ silly and ineffective - only well-produced ads are what consumers want to see dammit!”. I like to avoid forming opinions about subjects until I’ve done due research, and thanks to the two consecutive flu’s I got last month, I had enough time to do just that.Įvery decade brings a new popular method of communication. There was a time when print ads were actually the most effective medium to help a brand reach a young audience - funny, isn’t it? That’s when newspapers hired witty copywriters to improve a client’s ad in the newspaper and help it get more responses. Art got incorporated into that process a while later, then they sold bigger ad spaces until there was a big ad where two spreads full of news articles used to be. ![]() I’m not sure if the idea of just selling a 40-page ad instead of a newspaper was ever discussed, but I guess newspapers were already old news by then. Print media evolved to become not only newspapers, but also magazines, newsletters, journals, brochures…and a whole bunch of other things. Later, they started segmenting further to accommodate every niche market there is, such as: teenage girls, young men, LGBTQ, adventure seekers…if there’s a list, it’s long! This niche-targeting helped advertisers focus on spending their money to reach the right audience: the consumers who actually need their product. It also created opportunities to sneak branded content into regular articles, which didn’t seem like advertising and made the brand seem more trustworthy.
