I'm glad she made reference to her master, even though Vos wasn't mentioned by name. The only thing that struck me as untrue about her character from the comics is that she had a lot of problems of her own with attachments to her master and even a close friendship with another Jedi.
Well, wasn't that the point? As I recall, what she said to Ahsoka was that she'd been through her own difficulties with attachment and had to learn to let go.
yes, and it was completely inconsistent with the novels depiction of both hyperspace travel and starship combat tactics.
Despite Lucasfilm's claims that the novels represent some kind of pseudo-canon, in actuality Lucas pays virtually no attention to them and never hesitates to contradict them when making new filmed material. Plenty of stuff from the books and comics has been ignored or contradicted in the past, going all the way back to the late-'70s Marvel comic whose story was about Obi-Wan, Luke's father,
and the young Darth Vader on a mission together.
And of course
Star Wars was never intended to be a rigorously consistent, believable universe. It's a fairy-tale adventure dressed up with outer-space tropes.
Of course that same article (Newsarama) said it was interesting to pair Aayla and Ashoka since they're both Twi'leks. I had a total geek rage at this and started bellowing out loud ASKOHA IS A TOGRUTA LIKE SHAAK TI!!! which really confused my GF
Well, admittedly, to the uninitiated it would be easy to confuse them, since they both have those "head-tail" thingies. However, it was very sloppy of that Newsarama writer to fail to do the research, especially when it's so easy to find reference material online.
