Guys this thumbnail spoiled the living fuck out of this EP for me, I cant watch it yet due to Internet problems and as soon as I open RUclips I see this. Come on guys.
man, YT notifications really working like crap nowdays, huh
haven't been notified for like the last 10 videos lmfao
Weren’t you on the show Cats from Hell?
@@Flubberbut123it’s not necessarily a spoiler. I’ll just carefully say that.
27:47 What a beautiful monologue by MJTessler. The most insightful, candid, and eloquent post-watch analysis of this episode by any YT reactor thus far. 100% captivated by his spell. Please give this man a promotion, Greg. Chef's kiss.
I just know this was a dream come true for Hayden. He got to wear anakin's clone wars outfit, he got to have his moment with anakin's padawan. that man deserves nothing but happiness and I'm so ecstatic he was able to come back for obi-wan and ahsoka
I imagine he cried at the end after watching it as I did .... and that feels wholesome to me.
He got to play the version people like lol
This definitely was not a dream. Faloni will probably come out after the show ends (like the Russo Bro with infinity Wars) and clarify it for folks who missed the details shown in this episode.
@@matthewcronin2325hE goT tO plAy tHe veRsiOn pEopLe liKe lOl 🤤
Hayden Christensen definitely deserves some praise if not a lot for coming back and having such an impact on not only Obi-Wan but of course in Ahsoka I love the fact that he finally got to finish her training
I love how visibly happy & less depressed ahsoka is even with her body language after her encounter with Anakin 10/10
@@bluetone-amv No, she needed her teacher and friend's help, and the closure that came with it. She got to see Anakin, the REAL Anakin, one final time.
@@bluetone-amvTypical male sexist comment.
No woman needs a man, but many, many men need a woman to take care of them like a mother, in so many ways.
@@bluetone-amvshut the fuck up please. its better for everyone. (coming from a man😉🙂)
@@bluetone-amvshut up
I think she feared that connection and emotion because of how Anakin ended up. He showed her that she’s not the sane as him. She still had restraint even as she almost embraced the dark side (I’m guessing it’s due to the fear stirred up when she saw Vader)
During the clone wars series, there was a clear line separating Matt Lanter and Hayden. Filoni and crew have given Hayden so much to rework his take, the line between the two is completely gone.
Hayden has merged the two into his own and it's freaking glorious.
I used to say I don't want any more legacy characters... But damn I want a series for Hayden.
Yh but how can you not want a series for Hayden. The main saga ultimately is about Anakin’s story.
@@ryanstoner2736Facts , Star Wars = Jedi, Force and Skywalker literally that’s what’s it about
that's what happens when they do Legacy characters well
you want more!
@@ryanstoner2736the Vader canon comics would be perfect as a show imo and you’ll see a good amount of anakin and see full potential Vader so it’d be amazing imo
@@ryanstoner2736Star Wars has always been his Anakins redemption story
Anyone else notice Anakin’s voice pattern and vocabulary shift as he goes Vader mode? “Incorrect” and “You Lack Conviction!” Sounded so much like Vader! And his physical presence and motions too!
Hayden is truly an amazing actor!
His voice remind me of James Earl jones
Yeah the transition is seamless. Hayden for the win
His fighting style also changes he fights more stiff and powerful like Vader
@@dalecabal80869 Very few got that subtlety. Earlier Anakin was fighting more like his younger, flashier self - flippy sword and all that jazz. On red lightsaber mode, he fights stiff and delivers deliberate, swinging blows. Basically Filoni made this Anakin the "entire" Anakin. The cumulative version of Anakin. And that makes this episode better for it.
Yes, it actually surprises me how few reactors caught/mention that small fine voice mixed detail of "You lack conviction". The mix was sooo good. Maybe everyone was caught up in awe of the the two Vader visual flashes right before he says that.
Anakin at this point is embodiment of Force. We really saw The Chosen One today. He is able to tap into both light and dark to teach Ahsoka to move on. His last look at her, he was so proud. Incredible episode.
I think he is slowly becoming the cosmic chosen one, taking on the role of the father. Kind of a promotion to semi godhood but maybe he hasn't figured out all the kinks yet.
And in the end, the whole point of this is that he was there to teach Ahsoka, and help her see she is more.
My first take away too. He had to embrace the dark and the light to truly understand balance through redemption by his children, so he could pass on that greater knowledge to the true shepherds of the reformed Jedi order. He's there to nourish the seeds that will become the future.
@@JAIstarkillerkidwell it’s as Anakin said we’re all part of a legacy. Ahsoka and Luke are his Jedi legacy.
she literally denied the darkside
as she should, the darkside is corruption, it doesn't bring balance
Fun fact: Hayden Christensen has watched the entirety of Clone Wars. He said as much during the press tour for the Obi Wan series. So he knew how to bring to life the Anakin from the Clone Wars, and did so perfectly!
we know
@@RDGR8I didn't
@RDGR8 no you don't
He also watched all of Rebels too I believe
Hayden Chadstenten
I loved how Anakin dumped on the throwback line to RotJ between him and Luke. "I will not fight you"
Anakin "I've heard that before."
Frrrr
Shitttt i didn't realize that!
Yeah this is post Darth Vader redemption Anikin. So it makes perfect sense.
Ahhh i was trying to think of an Obi moment, but you're right, it was with Luke....fn genius
Doesn’t Ashoka say that to Vader when they fight in rebels? I could be wrong it’s been a while
That Vader overlay of "You lack conviction", amazing. Also, the interaction between them, "I will not fight you" "I've heard that before", referencing his fight with Luke. It's the real Anakin, holy shit, this episode is awesome. He's fulfilling the role of the Father, keeper of balance, since both reside in him. This episode has completely changed Star Wars, for the better.
Anakin remembered Vader's fight vs Luke because back then, Vader was trying to force him to fight to finish his training.
And here with Ahsoka, Anakin was trying to fulfill the very same objective.
anakin's officially the chosen one, able to wield the light and dark at will, the new father, the keeper of the world between worlds. fucking beautiful
Yes.
THIS
Yes yes yes! Everyone wanted/wants him to be perfect or all Light, but the word was always “balance.” He is both on purpose and we finally see that in canon. The Jedi are too pious, the Sith are too extreme. Ahsoka is far more Anakin than she wants to admit, because she was afraid of the Dark, but she’s both because he taught her to be. Wow wow wow!!!!!
Is he really the father? I was a bit dissapointed that we couldnt really see what he really was, but I see more and more people saying this was his reveal as the new father. Can u explain maybe? Him as the father is all I want! I hope we see more of him if its true.
@@Raziel03”Is he really the father?” Nah son he daddy now
Honestly, the main standout of the show for me is Kevin Kiner's score. He doesn't try to copy from John Willams' score or any other iconic theme from the past, he keeps creating his own thing while throwing some iconic themes briefly in there, and it just makes the show feel sooo cinematic. I'm honestly surprised by how little he's done outside of Star Wars cuz he's great.
He used the “Burying the dead” soundtrack but pitched it down
@@Stop_Resisting101I would be quite shocked if he doesn't score Dave's movie. But I definitely think Kiner should be Williams' definitive successor going forward as he and his children have been able to recapture that Star Wars magic that no other composer has and have been doing it for almost 20 years now
The only thing that throws me off is the credit music, it sounds Game of Thrones-ish to me
@Stop_Resisting101 I like it too, it just makes me think of GoT every time I hear it for some reason and throws me off 🤣
I want more of his scores put onto vinyl. I buy all the Star Wars movie soundtracks, and I have a couple that they put out for the animated shows. They had a compilation release for the Clone Wars that covered tracks from seasons 1-6, and then there was a 7" single for Rebels that was just the Rebels theme & a remix. Would love to get more complete scores of his Star Wars work on wax, it's so good. ✌️😌
Can we talk about how beautifully aggressive Anakin fighting was?? His hits were as HARD and quick as they're meant to be, fucking loved the choreography of the fights
Not only that, this is prime Anakin, he can control his emotions. He can slip into the dark side and come out of it just as easily now. So instead of revenge of the sith Anakin which was his form 5 but fuelled with rage and aggression. We’ve now got the master of form 5, editions are under control, every single blow is precise and he controls the entire fight. (I know he wasn’t trying to kill Ashoka)
He really showcased both sides. The flashiness of anakin and the relentlessness of vader
Ahsoka finally coming to terms with the fact that it wasn’t her fault what happened to Anakin was such a beautiful moment. We finally get such a big picture moment on why she has been so stoic and expressionless during her appearances. She tried to take on Sabine as a padawan before she could truly reconcile with herself. Attachment destroyed Anakin and destroyed her relationship with Sabine. It’s why she was so against training Grogu. Just as Obiwan came to realize in Kenobi that attachment can give one strength, she is coming to realize that attachment can be a strength for her as well
Couldn’t have said it better. Complete picture.
Indeed. We just need to be patient and believe in Faloni.
I’ve always hated the Jedi’s philosophy of detachment, it’s ridiculously stupid and actively drives people towards the Dark Side in the worst way. Not to say the Dark Side is INHERENTLY evil, but I think we all know what the sith typically lean towards
Those two moments of Anakin walking away from Ahsoka during the Clone Wars flashback and him walking towards her and both times he shifted between being Anakin and Vader sent chills all over my body
Dude I still can’t believe what we just saw
It was a great way to show that he was always both.
Cinematic masterpiece. Those shots are legend
@@TheMimiSardand that Vader is just a Dark Anakin..Its meant to show that everyone has a shadow of themselves but its up to us to decide or choose to let that shadow consume us or or to let it go thats Anakin's lesson to both Ahsoka and us..Vader is Anakin's shadow
Sht like this really blows my mind why Lucas put Kennedy in charge and not Filoni, dude really blundered there. Could you imagine....
when Huyang says "they never listen" you can tell he's not just talking about Ahsoka and Sabine, he refers to all the Jedi that he has trained, and how they are all a stubborn bunch who ended up always meeting their doom. Its like he is tired of constantly losing his pupils.
Ashoka felt different towards the end. She was way more positive, confident and happier than ever. She was clearly more at peace and it was wonderful to witness. What a beautiful episode. Cannot get over how much I enjoyed this. All hail Dave Filoni and Lucasfilm 🙏🏻
Yeah she was excited for the adventure...
Because she finally found peace within herself. We saw young Ahsoka in animation, but actually seeing what a real child Ahsoka looks like is jarring. It brings home the fact at just 14 she witnessed death & destruction all around her. She had no time to cope or come to reason. But this is what finally brought her peace. She was basically reborn again
RD’s acting is also amazing. Her entire demeanor changed after her encounter with Anakin. The muscles in her face, the twinkle in her eye.. she had a born-again moment with the force. Even the water imagery was like a baptism. 💯🔥❤️
Yea it seemed like up to this point she was just waiting to die and gave up on living a peaceful/purposeful life due to her legacy as Anakin’s apprentice. Anakin taught her that no matter what has happened before, she can choose to live now and give the best of herself.
Heh, Ashoka
The fact that ashoka says " i will not fight you" and anakin replies " ive hear that before" meaning luke it implies that this is true Anakin.
Exactly
Good point
Yeah I missed this in real time but it confirms he has all of vader’s experiences in this incarnation
Last week I thought he was Palpatine. So glad I was wrong😅
And he didn't recognize the Siege of Mandalore
I absolutely love Anakin and Ashoka’s relationship in the Clones Wars. Never did I think I would see Clones Wars in live action. Anakin is everything in this episode, he looked perfect. I was dying the entire time!!! Hats off for Dave Filoni for making this happen! *chefs kiss*
It’s CRAZY how well of an actor Ariana is that she somehow managed to act like a young old ahsoka. Not to mention this is the second time we’ve seen her play the young version of a beloved alien woman with a red background
She played young Gamora for those that don't know. The popular meme of, "What did it cost?" "Everything" Is shared between her and Thanos
@@Phantom-un2ox Knew I recognized her from somewhere! Crazy resumé at her age, both Marvel and Star Wars.
She’s a rock star… can’t wait to see her career grow
Bro she knocked it out of the fucking park in this, genuinely felt like they ripped Ahsoka straight from TCW
She's absolutely great, nailed every part of it. even though it is a bit unnerving hearing young ahsoka with a different voice,
Can we just appreciate how Hayden swings a lightsaber around so naturally?
She felt her legacy was death and war, and like Anakin says, she is more than that because he is more than turning and becoming Vader. He's not all evil, and he lived it.
I think Hayden being a dad and having a daughter in real life helped a lot with his chemistry with the young Ahsoka actress, even though she’s much older than his own daughter. And the flashback planet was Ryloth, cause geonosis was before clone wars, Ahsoka wasn’t there, only the 2nd time around which is after this.
You can definitely see the impact that this episode had on Ahsoka, the change in emotion that happened as she goes from “gray” to “white” during this episode. Goes to show that Filoni was the one to trust with a story like this.
it's straight from lotr... i love it
thats some gandalf shit right there
Loved the Gandalf the white moment for ahsoka
The symbolism of this episode is on another f-ing level, the subtlety holy f…the emotions, Kiner’s score is icing on the cake
Hayden did such an amazing job blending his own performance with Matt Lantern’s version of the character. It’s such a a seamless transition from prequals to clone wars
The way he said "how the whales took Ezra and the bad guys FAR FAR AWAY" it's a genius Galaxy far far away joke and i love it
That first "flashback" was in fact the battle of Ryloth, right after Ahsoka lost most of her squad trying to break the blockade above the planet. Her first mission alone as squad leader failed because of her arrogance and recklessness. It's the first time she actually felt the consequences of her actions and the lost of the lives under her command.
This is why I love Filoni, dude knows hardcore SW fans focused on the details, so he doesn’t just pick any random battle here, just brilliant
The initial one was Teth. Then Ryloth and finally Mandalore
@@bemasaberwyn55 You're absolutely right. Thank you 👍🏼
Yeah I thought it was teth
It was the true beginning of her characters growth. And then to end it with the Siege of mandalor, the end of her clone wars growth ark. Masterfully done
Hayden Christensen hasn't missed a beat as Anakin so good and this whole episode just gave me Clone Wars vibes
Yes! The young actress that played young Ahsoka also played young Gamora in Infinite War. Nailed this part!❤❤❤❤ Loved this Episode!
Holy 🤬
And she was also in Barbie.
Thats where i recognised that face!
That''s why she felt so familiar!!!!!
Hayden’s performance was really good, his face acting alone was top notch. I love how clearly the experience has brought hope back to Ahsoka and how’s that even showed with the lighting been brighter when she wakes up and her clothing
Dave Filoni really is a great Star Wars director and I loved seeing Hayden in the clone wars outfit
Hayden's facial acting was always some of the best in the industry. George Lucas ruined his performances with shitty scripts
@@luigiwiiUUthe hate and desperation he shows through only his face throughout the final act of RotS has always been so powerful to me. Hayden is such a fantastic "physical" actor. Not only his face performance, but his body performance too is top notch. Always loved how good he is at his own lightsaber stunts
This is definitely my favorite episode of this show! Hayden Christensen is so great as Anakin! 👍
Anakin understood why Ahsoka walked away from the order. It is fitting that he was responsible for guiding her back to her destiny and to heal the division in the loop
That ending to this episode....the sense of wonder, of adventure, of endless capabilities....of pure, storytelling magic that makes you believe in a galaxy far, far away. That's Star Wars, and it is alive and well. Notice also, after Anakin teaches her the lesson she needs, to be able to move forward, Ashoka is draped in all white. A transformation has happened, and she even felt like Ashoka, the old Ashoka we know and love. And my God, what a performance by Hayden...Clearly he has major acting chops, and gave one hell of a performance. Makes you wonder how much of his prequel performance was due to writing and directing. All in all, jesus christ this was pure Star Wars magic. Can't wait to see where this takes us. The force is alive and well, my friends. Always.
Hayden was in a movie called Life as a House around the same time as episodes 1-3. He always had the chops.
If you seen HC’s work, you can see he has the acting chops. (Shattered Glass & Life as a House are 🔥). The acting in this show is first class but this series PROVES that *writing* is key to the success
And even with the crappy writing, I believe Hayden still shines through in the prequels, especially in Revenge of the Sith
@@jandm4ever716 agree. One of my favorite movies of all time
@@jandm4ever716 tbf, as bad as I feel for Hayden in the prequels, I feel worse for Jake Lloyd. That kid didn't deserve to be thrown to the wolves the way he was.
Crazy how Star Wars is legit hitting its peak in this episode . A lot of meat on the bone for the whole franchise in the past two episodes .
This and Andor have really been carrying lately ngl
One thing I have to wonder about is when Huyang says, “They never listen.” This droid has trained nearly all the Jedi in history, so was he saying this about Ahsoka and Sabine or about the countless Jedi over the years
Yes. ;)
The purrgil scene at the end made me really emotional. It gave me that feeling of wonder I had when I watched the original series for the first time as a kid in the early 90's on LaserDisc. If I was a kid seeing space whales go into hyperspace, I would have lost my damn mind. Dave Filoni is really damn good at creating storytelling that gets to the core of why people fell in love with the Star Wars franchise in the first place.
I was satisfied with the episode half way through… and then the space whales. Blew my mind. How much was delivered in one hour. My God!! ❤Brilliant
one of my favorite tropes in media is when characters have their epiphany/life-changing moments, their clothing also reflects that specific change in their mannerisms and demeanor.
Those scenes with Anakin were absolutely PERFECT! When he ignited that red lightsaber I literally said “oh shit.” Some of those lightsaber hits just reminded you have how powerful he was. Those flashes between him and Vader gave me chills. With that armor he looked EXACTLY like Clone Wars Anakin. Hayden was on a whole other level of epicness and I loved every single second of it.
Something else that I want to make sure is highlighted is the music. It was perfect and fit those scenes very, very well.
I love how Ashoka seemed more hopeful when she woke up. Like she FELT like the Ashoka that we have always known. That scene with the Purrgil was glorious. The ending of this episode felt like the end of Empire Strikes Back. “Don’t worry, we’ll find them.”
I can see why they showed this in theaters. Some of those shots were so cinematically epic. For real, Dave Filoni needs to be in charge of everything Star Wars. This was probably some of my favorite Star Wars ever!
Something that will definitely go un-talked about a lot more than most other topics is the way this episode was film. FIloni's direction here is superb! The Clone Wars flashbacks were masterfully helmed! He's coming into his own as a live action director and you love to see it!
When the big space whale put Ahsoka's ship in its mouth I cried. This episodes themes are SO powerful. Truly this is Star Wars
Ahsoka the White! Space whales (made me tear up)! Closure with Anakin! Jacen! The Clone Wars! The score! Sound design! Cinematography! What a moving episode in more ways than one. Whew!
Seeing Anakin in these scenes actually made me cry. I had to pause halfway through to compose myself, Anakin has always been my favourite since i saw revenge of the sith in the cinema for the first time as a child. How sad that i cried haha
Overwhelming fan service and I'm all about it. Dave Filoni absolutely nailed this episode. Pacing was deliciously on point.
But more importantly which Dave understands that JJ Abrams didn't and we only got to see glimpses of it with Ryan Johnson is that he only does fan service when it forwards the plot and the characters and never just because he wants a reaction from the audience. It's what makes his stories and fan service feel completely genuine. It's earned instead of displayed.
I enjoy the transition of anakin turning into Vader and turning back to normal with his eyes
Man, this episode just gave me so many types of emotions. From just pure hype seeing Ahsoka battle Anakin again to gaining tears of joy just seeing Anakin acknowledging Ahsoka's growth and convction. The purgill's space jumps was just the icing on the cake!
It’s kinda chilling to think that the Vader we see fighting Ashoka is the one Obi-Wan denied Palpatine.
If you didn’t watch Clone Wars or Rebels. That sucks because this tied so much together, it was F’ing awesome!
At the same time, for the more casual fans who might not have seen either, this does a good job filling in some of those gaps. Obviously not a gap as large as both series, but enough to get an idea of what Anakin being a mentor would look like.
I didn’t watch clone wars or rebels. What was the main take away from the lesson Anakin was trying to teach Ashoka? The message fight or die was very simplistic.
@@HenryBenedictUSAyou should watch the episode again
@@HenryBenedictUSAI’ve not watched any of the animated shows either.
Anakin’s lesson is about darkness and light. Ahsoka came to the realisation that in a lot of ways he was mentoring her to become a potential Sith by focusing so much on the ways of war, and her own fear that she will mirror the path he took.
However as with all things there’s always a choice and knowing what it is you want to become, Ashoka had forgotten how to live due to the weight/burden she carried that she would be corrupted as a mentor too. It was that very weight that was becoming a self fulfilling prophecy.
So she awoke embracing the light and learning how to truly live again.
@@ObsessiveGeek thank you - appreciate the breakdown
It happened! Ahsoka the White! Clone Wars flashbacks! Just a phenomenal episode! Hayden Christensen was absolutely incredible! Glad to see a little bit of Tem as Rex as well. Dave Filoni is the man! Favorite Disney Star Wars content since Mando Season 2! I can see so many influences as well, especially Lord of the Rings and A Christmas Carol. Dave Filoni needs to be put in charge of Star Wars. Period.
"it's amazing how good of a performance he can give....when he has a good script, and someone who can direct actors". Truer words have never been said.
That transition of Anakin to Vader during the Clone Wars flashback scene hits different.
This is now my favorite episode of ahoska
This is my favorite episode of anything.
Whoever is writing, producing, and overall putting this show and these episodes together.. LET THEM TAKE OVER STAR WARS FOR THE FORSEEABLE FUTURE! This show has been awesome, and I want more of this!
It's Dave Feloni
That would be Dave Filoni. Animated Star Wars fans have been saying this for years! 😂
I think he has delivered consistently. The fandom has known this for years and it is more than obvious that this is the way to go with the franchise.
Dave Filoni and Tony Gilroy are the only people I trust with new star wars content.
@@Hellbilly709 ripped off Fallen Order so hard. Filoni played Fallen Order and took notes lol
I love Hayden's acting in this episode. The transition from Vader face back to Anakin after Ahsoka wins and disarms him is incredible.
I cried tears of joy watching anakin and ahsoka going at it and him continuing her training. This has been years in the making and I salute Dave Filoni for what he has done.
Phrasing!
@@shotgundrivestheradio 🤣 true
I haven't been this blown away since season 7 of clone wars. Dave has outdone himself once again!
“I’ve heard that before” to “I won’t fight you” the callback 😭
Seeing Anakin really was intimidating and awesome. This show is insanely good. It made me want to see more of Hayden as Anakin, the fact that a Luke show isn't likely breaks my heart cause that would be perfect Luke and Anakin talking through the force
What made me so emotional is that Anakin uses the very pain and suffering he lived through to teach Ahsoka that they are BOTH more than their legacy and their guilt. It’s amazing so see his control over his past. He now exists as the chosen one, keeper of the world between worlds and maintains the balance of the force from there. To see Hayden perform that was so, so special.
My heart hurts in the best way what an incredible experience. Give Dave the keys and more Hayden
Other thing i wanna mention, I was also a bit worried about them possibly going all in for the fan service and nostalgia bait (just like in that *OTHER* show), but I like how from the flashbacks they only focused on things that actually matter for Ahsoka's character arc.
They didn't get completely out of the plot like in that Boba Fett show. Instead, the story kept it's focus and you can tell how this is made by one man's vision and nothing else.
3 episodes left, and let's hope they stick to the landing for this one haha
So true....you can tell Ahsoka is Filoni's baby. He'd die before she's ruined. 🤣🤣
The stark contrast in quality when Filoni directs vs. the others is astonishing. This was the first episode that gripped me emotionally and made me excited for what's to come. This was really well done!
I think is a combination of a force ghost and a force vision to teach Ahsoka the final lesson she needed from Anakin. It's not our traditional force ghost, I would really like Anakin appearing later in this form, like in episode 6. This was an amazing form to show us that we just know the tip of the force, it can manifest in different ways, Dave you clever master.
Like the Qui-Gon appearance to Obi-Wan at the end of Kenobi. That would be perfect
Ahsoka FINALLY understands Darth Vader was not her fault. What a gloriously unexpected way to reach catharsis
I'm honestly impressed with how they did the de aging with Hayden with him taking and acting while being de aged considering the look at the last episode I felt iffy about and felt like him acting with the de age effects would make him look like he got stung by a bee that absolutely squished his face in but in this episode it looks good I would say although those moments where slight improvements could've been used for like a split second
Last episode Hayden's face looked off, very pale and lacking... something. But it looked great in this episode!
I think they also varied how much de-aging depending on which scene - I think there was definitely less in the final duel scene, maybe because more of Hayden's age helps push the Fallen look.
They probably just put some makeup on his cheeks and forehead and bam he’s 20 years younger again lol.
Ahsoka made the choice that Luke made at the end of ROTJ. She choose to protect life instead of bring death. She, like Luke, needed to face Vader once more and having done so successfully, she finaly truly became a Jedi, just as Luke did.
This was just perfection ❤
Script=perfection
Directing=perfection
Performances=perfection
Music=perfection
…. Just blown away ❤
And this is from someone who’s not familiar with the animated series much! I feel hundred percent engaged and included ❤
Thank you, Filoni
Im sure filoni had this in mind since the ending of clone wars.
Definitely watch the clone wars, it’s amazing! And Rebels is important for this series as well lol
It was so good to see captain rex in live action
Ashoka talking to the whale is more of a throwback to Tales of the Jedi ep1 more than to Esra talking to them. The episode is about her as little child and communicates with a sabertooth tiger beast that was going to kill her. So she was always able to communicate with animals.
I almost forgot about that, good call out.
To see Clone Wars Hayden and him interact with Ahsoka was just - ❤
I also love how Ahsoka looks a lot more happy(?) or maybe at peace(?) after the interaction in the World between Worlds
"It was magic. What do you want to talk about?" Lol. You guys are the best. I love watching the show and then the reactions. For this episode the best part about this episode was Anakin showing up for Snips at a moment when she most needed him. He cares, he wants to unburden her, he wants her to live! Whew chills, that was the best episode.
Hopefully we get more Hayden. He didn't say the line from the trailer in this episode. Hope thats not just a case of something being cut.
What was the line ?
The absolute GOOSE BUMPS I got when Anakin brought out Vader’s lightsaber and seeing Vader flash into frame was CHEFS KISS! Beautiful episode. Everything I wanted!
This episode was awesome. Hayden really nailed ALL versions of Anakin in ONE episode. He truly owns this character im in awe of his performance and he really made me feel like this role is in good hands if i didnt feel that already
Hayden also made a W in this, so glad he came back for this. It's like a complete circle
Loved Hayden’s voice changing between his and vaders when they come out of the clone wars scene
I just want to say that Ahsoka has actually.used Force Psycometry before in this show. She used it in episode 2 to recall Sabines fight with Shin.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the CINEMATOGRAPHY!? So many shots in this episode I wanna put up on my wall.
Absolutely 1 of my favorite episodes in all of Star Wars. Just to mention, the young actress, Ariana Greenblatt is now a MCU & Star Wars alumni. A young Ahsoka and a young Gamora in The Avengers Infinity War.
So many are missing the point that Jacen hearing them is confirmation that she is actually interacting with Anakin.
I love how Hayden got room to stretch his legs. Also love how they did the transition from Hayden to Vader then back.
My main takeaway from this episode is that Anakin finally found a way to stop people from dying.
It’s Everything I ever dreamed of, I can’t tell how many times I screamed and got goosebumps, That Vader Shot was absolutely fucking perfect along with the red eyes he had when he turned around and for a glimpse there you could see a little flicker of Red in Ahsoka’s eyes
Hayden in Anakins Clone Wars armour was one of the best things to come out of disney star wars 🔥 🔥
That's where her stoic performances in the early episodes carry a lot more weight in this episode. Patience is a most definitely a virtue in her story!
I forgot how good Hayden looks swinging a saber! I need a series lol.
i hope if Ezra comes back to train Jacob to be a jedi just like Kenan trained him
Maybe Dave is slowly going there
Jacen.
God seeing a shot of Ezra training his own Padawan with maybe Kanan's force ghost watching would be peak.
Ezra will most likely be the one to train him considering hera sees him as family
The world between worlds is an encompassing of the force, so even though it’s in Ahsoka’s head, she is still actually there too. That means Anakin is also there and not just a figment or something. Crazy stuff
It’s a small thing but I really wanted Ahsoka to reference the fact that Anakin murdered obi-wan. Like they are going back through the clone wars where they spent so much time with him and Anakin killed him.
I'm so glad I was patient. This is exactly the way I'd thought this show would go. I'm glad we got to see Ahsoka grow
Also cemented Rosario as Ahsoka. This episode proves why she's perfect for this role.
"I won't fight you."
"I've heard that before". Great callback to Return of the Jedi
I can tell they studied Ashoka and Anakins Clone wars personalities heavy because they replicated it so perfectly in these flashbacks it is beautiful to watch
I teared up watching the flashbacks. It is so nice to see Ahsoka and Anakin working live-action and REX
It has been absolutely wonderful seeing Hayden get his flowers at last. You guys are 100%. He was never the problem in the prequels. It was always the script and George's direction that led to the awkward line reads. The way he is able to show complex emotions so clearly with just a look has always shown immense acting talent, even back in the prequels.
Seeing Rex in live action for the first time was like 🤯
This entire episode had me emotional, the ending was absolutely perfect. It brought back the true wonder of Star Wars
Modern Disney StarWars is a joke, a piece of steamy Filoni shit. You're the problem this whole IP is where it is today. Fuck you.
Dude on the right sounds like a wizard, like when he says "he's connected to the world between wurlds..." Which obviously is a compliment btw
Finally Hayden Christensen getting the love and respect he deserved!
13:18 “God she’s so young” I fucking died for some reason when he said that. The way he said it. Just too, too hillarious
16:04 Anakin's initial reaction to Ahsoka's act of mercy and words of hope. This episode was fantastic, I really have no words to describe the feelings it evoked.
The curiosity and confusion of Ahsoka's last training with Anakin definitely felt like Mortis lore.
I've already seen a lot of people talk about the flashbacks being "pointless," or them saying they don't understand what's being conveyed, and I'm just like... What's not to get?
Ahsoka has always questioned what her role in not just the galaxy, but the force at large was. Ever since leaving the order, and ESPECIALLY after finding out who Vader was, she's been forced to wonder if any of her values come from the right place. This episode was Anakin forcing her to confront her past, move on from it, and embrace whatever may come in the future.
It wasn't just a nostalgia trip for Clone Wars fans, and people boiling it down to that are being incredibly disingenuous. This whole show for me has pretty much been a 10/10, yet this episode exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I cried, I laughed, I giggled like a 4 year old. I felt the magic of Star Wars for the first time in too long.
