Thor's Quinjet password!
A sereis of high stakes robberies.

Young FBI agent going undercover, and falling in with an extreme sports crowd who later prove to be those responsible for the robberies.

Unsure of where his loyalties lie.

Charismatic leader of the extreme sports group.

Increasingly ridiculous stunts.

Wait, am I describing 'Point Break' or 'The Fast and the Furious' franchise??

Yes, it is clear that that later franchise (Fasrt and Furious) takes many elements from this earlier movie (albeit switching surfing for cars), which stars a - very young!, pre The Matrix or even Speed - Keanu Reeves (Johnny Utah) alongside an impressively mulleted Patrick Swayze (Bodhi) and Gary Busey as Utah's older FBI partner.

Lets face it, though, we're really here for the stunts (or, at least, the male audience is!): in particular the surfing and skydiving (without a parachute) scenes.

Disney+ have really been pushing their connection to Star Wars as of late: The Mandalorian, The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan, The Bad Batch.

All in the Disney+ era, as exclusives.

To this, we can now add Ahsoka.

Which is a strong contender for being the most 'Star Wars'y of the lot, if that makes sense.

It's also effectively a live-action sequel to perhaps one of the best Star Wars animations shows (Rebels), more or less picking up the plot lines from the end of that series after the disappearance of Thrawn and Ezra Bridger in the final episode of it.

So, in effect, we're also doing a live action "Heir to the Empire" (finallyl!!), with the return of Thrawn, alongside elements from the old E.U.: Zombie Stormtroopers, The Nightsisters of Dathomir, the Mortis Gods ...
