The lack of normality and true humility alongside the traits of becoming a jedi master turned me away from the show. Many fans dislike her attitude, and so do I. You can be a girl, you can have power, and you can act and it all out in a presentable way without disrupting every ongoing process around you, because all the heads keep turning. You don’t need all of the attention, all the time. Ashoka though, leaves little room for anything but.
