Anakin really was like, " At this point, the only one you should be losing to is me... and maybe my son, but mostly me! We're fixing that mindset of yours, whether you like it or not! No ifs, ands, or buts!"
She’s like the first reactor that understood Anakin’s final lesson. She was stuck on the past and the fear of making mistakes and failing. He was trying to show/remind her that it’s ok to make mistakes. When she still wasn’t listening, he pulled out Darth Vader to do the trick. He made possibly the biggest mistake in the history of the galaxy, and was still redeemed in the end. If she wasn’t going to understand that, she was beyond help… there’s always a way forward as long as she keeps fighting.
It’s weird how many people missed the padawan part too. When she asked if that was all she’d have to teach her padawan someday and anakin said “do you even want a padawan?” You can see why she shut out sabine
Honestly i think people who have watched CW and Rebels and read everything that came out in-between get so bogged down in the details that they overcomplicate the explanation. The vision includes exactly the elements needed to tell that story
I'd argue the Rakatans made the biggest mistake in the galaxy by enslaving the entirety of it and not being ready for a galactic slave revolt. But that's if we're talking the actual HISTORY of the galaxy. Lol
@@nicolasvergne757 I don't think it was poorly told, when you think about which elements were included in the vision and show for first-time watchers, and Ahsokas journey as a whole for longer time watchers, the messaging is clear. But it isn't literally spelled out, and I think we're all so used to the 'dumbed down' stories where you always have a character voice *exactly* what they just learned that people are forgetting to think when they see thins one.
@@andre3328so far we are assuming the lesson she learned. If you cut the whole Anakin sequence, the episde remains the same. Ahsoka will act the same in the second part. For me, it was just pure fan service. Also, we still don't know why she didn't simply drown.
Yeah that's what happens in animated shows you forget that at the end of the day these are still kids in stressful situations and that's putting it mildly
"One is never too old to learn, snips". He was 45 when he died. Ahsoka is 47. To me, the lesson he was teaching her was the difference between surviving and living. It was the last lesson he learned, from Luke, when he was her age. From the moment he betrayed Ahsoka, she's been surviving, and her purpose, her conviction, gone. She's got no friends, family or companions around her, no attachment, just as a Jedi should be. But Ahsoka is no Jedi, and like Anakin said he's now passed on the final lesson he learned to her, even what he learned in his final moments. And then as he's smiling and remembering about his last lesson by Luke, she says, "I won't fight you" and he chuckles, because that's also what Luke said to him before that last fight. When his heart was full of rage and darkness that fight is what brought him back. So he turns on his lightsaber, and gets ready to pass that on to her. You live, truly live, or you die just like he did when he became Vader. Just surviving is as good as death. At least that's my take on it.
The transition from Anakin to Vader through the smoke is very fitting. Since Vader is always ready for the smoke. Demon time. All the time. All jokes aside, really glad they've been using Hayden more lately. Man has talent
Good call. Also, Anakin's training was almost exclusively focused on lightsaber combat and using to force to augment oneself in combat. She rarely applied her force abilities elsewhere so there are a lot of unknowns about what she can do.
As the live-action series jumps into another galaxy, Dave Filoni seems to finally be recapturing the character dynamics that made his animated shows so emotionally powerful.
People keep forgetting that George Lucas was still making the decision back when clone wars came out. He was the reason Maul was brought back when meanwhile everybody called him insane especially Filoni & then he did it & went to everyone after & said see he was right. It’s the reason Filoni decided to kill off Maul for no reason whatsoever in rebels when he had so much more to give. Lucas was also the reason that clone wars was made because he waited many years after the original trilogy because he wanted to create Anakin’s story but said it would take too much time & cgi wasn’t as advanced as it is today, so he waited to make the prequels then he wanted to make an animated show so that he could use the smaller budget more wisely to expand his story. Lucas hasn’t been involved with most of the new stuff which is why most of the new stuff just feel … different. He’s supposedly been on set for this show though
@@packedentertainment2866 Filoni killed Maul because there was nothing else to do with him since Disney threw out all of Lucas' plans for Maul being the Sequel villain.

I don't know if you caught it, but before her encounter with Anakin, Ahsoka was dressed in all grey tones, and acted stoic and impassive. Now, after training with Anakin she's wearing all white, and she's happy, and adventurous, like she was during the Clone Wars.

It's almost a throwaway line in an earlier episode, but Huyang says something about ancient hyperspace lanes between galaxies following the migration paths of star whales. So it's not so much the whales remembering where the mag goes/ where Ezra is, as it is the map was based on the path they took anyway! Also love that you guys immediately get the meaning training scene, a lot of more hardcore fans take everything so literally that they miss the messaging.
Hayden was amazing! ❤Ariana who did young Ahsoka nailed it. 🥰So glad that all of us who’ve watched the Clone Wars get to see a bit of it in live action.💫
Yeah. I feel bad for the people that watch the live action stuff without watching the animated stuff because they miss out on some of the best things Star Wars has ever done
5:00 that would be Dave Filoni. Started with The Clone Wars, then Rebels, and tried live action with a little show called The Mandalorian. Oh, if you want a brief catch up on Ahsoka's past, Check out Tales of the Jedi. 3 animated shorts are about Ahsoka, before the Clone Wars, During, and After. The other three about Dooku are really good as well. edit: Sorry but 10:30 is season 7 Ahsoka.
This episode had everything. Also major props to Hayden for stepping into Anakin again and conveying two different fighting styles the way he did. It was really satisfying seeing how swift and elegant his Anakin style was vs how overpowering and unrelenting his Vader style was.
The point anakin is trying to teach is that she is all the power of Anakin but the good part of it, Ahsoka is only looking at it from a bad perspective because of how Anakin turned to Vader but shes a different person who can do things differently with what he taught her.
One thing I heard mentioned on another channel, that Ahsoka was only about 16-17 at the end of the Clone Wars during the Siege of Mandalore. Really made me see the CW animated series in a different light, seeing how she started out at only 14 or so years old
Same. I really hope they react to it & Rebels after but mostly clone wars. I think the clone wars is the best thing to ever come from Star Wars honestly
Yeah you nailed it. She had to let it go. 'Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door' I'll show myself out.
I was not expecting to see live action purrgil. They are so cool and were first seen in Star Wars: Rebels which is another reason why you should watch that amazing show.
When ahsoka had anakin light saber her eyes turn sith yellow/red remember anakin said he gave her everything he had. Thats why her sith eyes showed up for a second.
Just to clarify Ahsoka did physically travel to the World Between Worlds and reemerged in the water once she was done. It's a place accessible through portals and there's a connection between that and force sensitive wolves. I noticed the stone pillars around the map resemble sitting wolves
Anakin was trying to teach Ahsoka to let go of her pain and fault thinking that her walking away from the Jedi and Anakin caused the fall to the dark side. She's become more cautions and cynical as you've seen in the earlier episodes after rumours of Thrawn. She also was a bit more pessimistic and lacking 'hope.' Anakin is trying to show her to let go of her guilt for him, the Order and that his GOOD parts of his legacy are what she incorporates and he passes down, not his legacy of pain and destruction and violence as Vader, so she disassociates from him because of WHO he became. And he is showing her her first and last CW battles to show how far she came and how she took on the best of him in the situations when he wasn't around - hence letting go of him and her guilt. How she was so guilty of the deaths of the Clones in the first mission to how she let go of death and became a commander during the Siege of Mandalore. She still carries the guilt of the Clones lost, and Anakin's, after walking away from the Jedi Order she still feels that it was a mistake when in fact it was the right thing to do. Cere Junda in Jedi Survivor game said it best to Cal Kestis: CERE: Cal - You're still struggling with the dark side. Even after cutting yourself off from the Force Cere - We will always struggle. But that IS the test. This is THE episode. Exceeds The Rescue from Mando IMO and as great as the Andor Series episodes and Andor Finale. This episode is the best SW content post Original trilogy ever made because it honours CW, Rebels and the Originals.
This. Which is why its important her eyes turn evil, but then she turns away. Teaching her that basically it is a choice to fall to the darkside. One that she won't make.
7:05 This was the battle of Teth from the Clone Wars movie where she was 14 years old. 8:32 That was the battle of Ryloth from the Ryloth arc, where Ahsoka accidentally got her clone pilots killed in space. 10:25 As said in the episode this was the Siege of Mandalore arc from the CW show where she is 17 years old, the last clone wars battle.
"Hyper jumping whales" -- according to the lore--these whales (or their ancient ancestors) were the ones that helped the very first people learn where the hyperspace routes were--they followed those whales. over 40,000 years earlier.
As weird as it may sound,Jacen is actually Hera’s son(I don’t want to disclose too much about his father’s background because I really recommend watching Rebels to find out more about him).I’m so glad y’all were also hyped and captivated with how they portrayed Anakin’s character in this episode!
I haven’t seen many people notice or comment, but when Ahsoka says she wants to live while holding his lightsaber, she gets sith eyes when she says it. Very tiny detail, but so cool.
yea a few other youtube reactors commented on that. I didnt catch it at first watch but after watching a few reactions I was like....ooooo shit they did. At first I thought they were seeing the glow of Anakin's lighsaber in her eyes but yea her eyes did turn sith for a hot min.
When Ashoka told Anakin “I won’t fight you”, Anakin responded with “I’ve heard that before”, this was a Reference to when Luke told him that exact same thing. 😅 the details are everything, even the little ones.
The seige of madalore was the exact moment Anakin converted to Vader(season 7 of clone wars).. that moment was what was holding Ahsoka back, her feeling of failure of not being there for him and the need to let go.
Anakin gave her the biggest lesson that he never learned in life. Let go. Let go of your guilt, shame, fears, and anger. Its what kept him in his perpetual cycle of torment and pain for the last half of his life.
Jacen is Hera and Kansan’s biological child. He’s mostly human but has some Twi’lek traits in him, his Mom’s skin color is green so that trait got passed to his hair.
About the whales and why they didnt go to them first is cause they havent seen them since the end of rebels and their mission was mainly trying to stop the bad guys from using the map.
I know Dave Filoni is making a movie that's supposed to be coming out in a couple of years, Thrawn is being setup to be the big bad evil in that I reckon. We will most def see Thrawn next episode.
This is where the fun begins!!!!! I absolutely Love this episode!!!!! Seeing Hayden Christianten and Rosario Dawson playing as Anakin and Ahsoka in live-action puts a huge smile on my face 😌 The circle is now complete! 🙏🏽💪
I love how the Rebels just gloss over how Hera got 2 X-wing fighters killed during that hyperspace ring jump but no one bats an eye over it. They just want to remove her rank for using resources. Priorities! 🤪
This was such a fire episode and it was really cool to see Anakin's duality with the light and dark side. Ahsoka taming the purgil whales was a good call back to Rebels when Ezra would befriend a lot of animals. It was great to see Ahsoka letting go of the past, and lighten up again back to her old self by the end of the episode.
First off, one piece is not a UNIVERSE, it's a show with some OVAs and spin offs. Not impressed by One Peice, live action or no. Meandering "chosen one" anime like Black Clover, One Peice, Sweet Reincarnation, just NEVER END so I'm gonna continue to pass like I do on Dragon Ball [insert version here] LOL@@_ripVanWinkle_
Even if you just watched the very last season (7) of animated Clone wars you'd be caught up on Ahsoka background and it'd give more context to this series
Ashoka was 14 at the start of Clone Wars. The last scene in the flashback was her at 17. Specifically during Season 7, which was the Siege of Mandalore against Darth Maul's Death March.
6:13 that is Hera’s actual biological son. His father was Kanan Jarrus: a human jedi that survived Order 66 and was one of the main characters in Rebels (alongside her, Sabine, Ezra, Ahsoka, the dude named Zeb, and Chopper). Edit: Just went back and watched it. I can see they only had 1 kid.
Jacen is half human and half Twilek, which is probably why his hair is naturally green. It’s likely that as he gets older, he’ll have more pronounced twilek features.
It's revealed padawan as young as 12 years old (Cal Kestis from SW Fallen Order/Survivor) were sent to war and like others have already commented both the Jedi order and the Republic legalized the use of child soldiers like it was the norm (let alone the ethical implications of the Clones), just goes to show the Galaxy was rotten before Sidious came to power.
To see young Ahsoka live action... Really emphasized how young she was, it's actually heartbreaking 💔 Hayden did an amazing job with the Anakin Clone Wars, we are so blessed to have him! I finally can end my grieve now that I know Anakin finished her training, it's closure!
Perfect episode. Even if you never saw Clone Wars or Rebels, this episode explained how Ahsoka's conscience was tormenting her about Anakin and what her future would hold. When her eyes turned sith yellow?! Damn!!! Dave Filoni put his ankles in this! lol
Best part about using the World Between Worlds here. It’s not there. It’s just the backdrop for Ahsoka’s dream state, so no one needed to explain anything about it to you.
Don't know if anyone here's said it or not, but, I see a parallel between the final scene of *_The Empire Strikes Back_* in which Lando promises to Leia that he and Chewbacca/Chewie would find Han, and here where Ahsoka promises to Hera that she would find Sabine and Ezra 🤔🤯🥺🥲🤗😉👍😌!
In life you have two grips one on the past and one on the future, the tighter grip you have on one the less of a grip you have on the other. Hold on to the past and fade with it or hold on to the future and change with it. That was anakins lesson to me, live or die
I love this episode and Anakin actually coming back to teach Ahsoka to not blame herself for his fall. Ahsoka finally got her closure. Jacen Syndulla is the son of Hera and Kanan Jarrus. Not sure why he looks more human, but he is her son. He was introduced in the last episode of Rebels. And he does have the green hair. Again he is her legit son.
Looked it up, Jacen pops was really clapping green cheeks thats CRAZY
Lol
I would too ngl
Which ones?
Calling Kanan, Jacen's pops, has the same energy as Boruto's dad... it's CRAZY 💀💀
You mean Kanan?
Anakin was so upset Ahsoka lost the fight that he pulled up and said "Nah. Back to basics" 😂
“You lost and he knew YOU WERE MY padawan, I can’t let that happen to my legacy as a Jedi and teacher”😂
He like "you are a former pupil of a skywalker, you must learn to represent"
Anakin really was like, " At this point, the only one you should be losing to is me... and maybe my son, but mostly me! We're fixing that mindset of yours, whether you like it or not! No ifs, ands, or buts!"
He didn’t “lose” she literally only kicked him🤣
Back to square one 😅

Really well said! Very well articulated. "Just surviving is as good as death." is an exceptional line.
She's 47 but in Togruta years she like a 25-30 year old human

So it's not so much the whales remembering where the mag goes/ where Ezra is, as it is the map was based on the path they took anyway!
Also love that you guys immediately get the meaning training scene, a lot of more hardcore fans take everything so literally that they miss the messaging.
Hayden was amazing! ❤Ariana who did young Ahsoka nailed it. 🥰So glad that all of us who’ve watched the Clone Wars get to see a bit of it in live action.💫
Yeah. I feel bad for the people that watch the live action stuff without watching the animated stuff because they miss out on some of the best things Star Wars has ever done
7 seasons is a lot but please do Clone Wars reactions. It legit is some of the best Star Wars you can experience. Yall would not regret it?
That transition they did with the shrug was cold
Fun Fact: The actress who played Young Ahsoka played Young Gamora in Infinity War
Yes- we all watch the breakdown’s …
OH WOW
5:00 that would be Dave Filoni. Started with The Clone Wars, then Rebels, and tried live action with a little show called The Mandalorian. Oh, if you want a brief catch up on Ahsoka's past, Check out Tales of the Jedi. 3 animated shorts are about Ahsoka, before the Clone Wars, During, and After. The other three about Dooku are really good as well.
edit: Sorry but 10:30 is season 7 Ahsoka.
This episode had everything.
Also major props to Hayden for stepping into Anakin again and conveying two different fighting styles the way he did. It was really satisfying seeing how swift and elegant his Anakin style was vs how overpowering and unrelenting his Vader style was.
This episode was so great. Can’t wait to see what this new galaxy holds for us.
The point anakin is trying to teach is that she is all the power of Anakin but the good part of it, Ahsoka is only looking at it from a bad perspective because of how Anakin turned to Vader but shes a different person who can do things differently with what he taught her.
One thing I heard mentioned on another channel, that Ahsoka was only about 16-17 at the end of the Clone Wars during the Siege of Mandalore. Really made me see the CW animated series in a different light, seeing how she started out at only 14 or so years old
Hayden changing his voice to sound Matt Lanter was my favourite part and his Jedi armour was fabulous it suit him well
Please watch Clone Wars and Rebels. Both shows start a lil kid-ish, but their characters and stories get deep as they go along
Would love clone wars reactions if you could make that happen!
Same. I really hope they react to it & Rebels after but mostly clone wars. I think the clone wars is the best thing to ever come from Star Wars honestly
That’s Jacen Syndulla and he is the son of Hera and Kanan Jarus who was a Jedi. He trained Ezra after he joined them on Lothal. It’s in Rebals
This was the best episode of Ashoka the choreography and cinematography was so good 💯 and Hayden did his thing as Anakin everytime 🔥💯
Yeah you nailed it. She had to let it go.
'Let it go, let it go
Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go
Turn away and slam the door'
I'll show myself out.
I was not expecting to see live action purrgil. They are so cool and were first seen in Star Wars: Rebels which is another reason why you should watch that amazing show.
Captain Rex, Ahsokas Clones, Dath Mauls Mandalorians, live action Clone Wars and Anikin. Thank you Filloni. What an Episode❤🔥
When ahsoka had anakin light saber her eyes turn sith yellow/red remember anakin said he gave her everything he had. Thats why her sith eyes showed up for a second.
Just to clarify Ahsoka did physically travel to the World Between Worlds and reemerged in the water once she was done. It's a place accessible through portals and there's a connection between that and force sensitive wolves. I noticed the stone pillars around the map resemble sitting wolves
Anakin was trying to teach Ahsoka to let go of her pain and fault thinking that her walking away from the Jedi and Anakin caused the fall to the dark side. She's become more cautions and cynical as you've seen in the earlier episodes after rumours of Thrawn. She also was a bit more pessimistic and lacking 'hope.' Anakin is trying to show her to let go of her guilt for him, the Order and that his GOOD parts of his legacy are what she incorporates and he passes down, not his legacy of pain and destruction and violence as Vader, so she disassociates from him because of WHO he became. And he is showing her her first and last CW battles to show how far she came and how she took on the best of him in the situations when he wasn't around - hence letting go of him and her guilt. How she was so guilty of the deaths of the Clones in the first mission to how she let go of death and became a commander during the Siege of Mandalore. She still carries the guilt of the Clones lost, and Anakin's, after walking away from the Jedi Order she still feels that it was a mistake when in fact it was the right thing to do.
Cere Junda in Jedi Survivor game said it best to Cal Kestis:
CERE: Cal - You're still struggling with the dark side. Even after cutting yourself off from the Force Cere - We will always struggle. But that IS the test.
This is THE episode. Exceeds The Rescue from Mando IMO and as great as the Andor Series episodes and Andor Finale. This episode is the best SW content post Original trilogy ever made because it honours CW, Rebels and the Originals.
This. Which is why its important her eyes turn evil, but then she turns away. Teaching her that basically it is a choice to fall to the darkside. One that she won't make.
7:05 This was the battle of Teth from the Clone Wars movie where she was 14 years old.
8:32 That was the battle of Ryloth from the Ryloth arc, where Ahsoka accidentally got her clone pilots killed in space.
10:25 As said in the episode this was the Siege of Mandalore arc from the CW show where she is 17 years old, the last clone wars battle.
What's crazy is they sent that little ass Ahsoka to go fight Maul and she still won lmao
"Hyper jumping whales" -- according to the lore--these whales (or their ancient ancestors) were the ones that helped the very first people learn where the hyperspace routes were--they followed those whales. over 40,000 years earlier.
As weird as it may sound,Jacen is actually Hera’s son(I don’t want to disclose too much about his father’s background because I really recommend watching Rebels to find out more about him).I’m so glad y’all were also hyped and captivated with how they portrayed Anakin’s character in this episode!
The space whales are in Mando too, Grogu was looking at them while they were in hyperspace, swimming beside them.
I haven’t seen many people notice or comment, but when Ahsoka says she wants to live while holding his lightsaber, she gets sith eyes when she says it. Very tiny detail, but so cool.
yea a few other youtube reactors commented on that. I didnt catch it at first watch but after watching a few reactions I was like....ooooo shit they did. At first I thought they were seeing the glow of Anakin's lighsaber in her eyes but yea her eyes did turn sith for a hot min.
Thats her son, Hera had him with a jedi named kanan jarus, from star wars rebels, unfortunately kanan died in the star wara rebels show
Y’all should definitely watch rebels, the context from that show makes this show 10x better
The lesson: integrate your shadow.
6:41 Bro makes sure he has the high ground now. 😂
So at 6:32, they did leave him. With the most dangerous droid in the ENTIRE galaxy. He’ll be fine.
Chopper will mess up anyone who tries to hurt that kid.
@@marshsundeenr2 better
@@WalterWhiteY0 I love them both.
chopper can literally manually fire ships
"Ezra was blowing her back tf out" had me dying ☠️
When Ashoka told Anakin “I won’t fight you”, Anakin responded with “I’ve heard that before”, this was a Reference to when Luke told him that exact same thing. 😅 the details are everything, even the little ones.
Ariana Greenblatt is killin’ it at 16, having played young Gamora and now young Ahsoka 👏🏼
The seige of madalore was the exact moment Anakin converted to Vader(season 7 of clone wars).. that moment was what was holding Ahsoka back, her feeling of failure of not being there for him and the need to let go.
Anakin gave her the biggest lesson that he never learned in life. Let go. Let go of your guilt, shame, fears, and anger. Its what kept him in his perpetual cycle of torment and pain for the last half of his life.
Damn, that was a crisp intro animation y’all have!!
Jacen is Hera and Kansan’s biological child. He’s mostly human but has some Twi’lek traits in him, his Mom’s skin color is green so that trait got passed to his hair.
About the whales and why they didnt go to them first is cause they havent seen them since the end of rebels and their mission was mainly trying to stop the bad guys from using the map.
The Ghost is Heras ship. But the X Wings are part of the New Republic fleet.
I know Dave Filoni is making a movie that's supposed to be coming out in a couple of years, Thrawn is being setup to be the big bad evil in that I reckon. We will most def see Thrawn next episode.
This is where the fun begins!!!!! I absolutely Love this episode!!!!! Seeing Hayden Christianten and Rosario Dawson playing as Anakin and Ahsoka in live-action puts a huge smile on my face 😌
The circle is now complete! 🙏🏽💪
I love how the Rebels just gloss over how Hera got 2 X-wing fighters killed during that hyperspace ring jump but no one bats an eye over it. They just want to remove her rank for using resources. Priorities! 🤪
The young Ahsoka played by actress (Ariana Greenblatt) also played as young Gamora in Infinity War.
This was such a fire episode and it was really cool to see Anakin's duality with the light and dark side. Ahsoka taming the purgil whales was a good call back to Rebels when Ezra would befriend a lot of animals.
It was great to see Ahsoka letting go of the past, and lighten up again back to her old self by the end of the episode.
"Gotta fix what happened the last few years" LMAO
Thrawn was in the official trailer btws, AND it's the OG VA playing him in live-action and I couldn't be MORE excited!!! 😍
A lot of this show is directly connected/continuation of rebels
Hands DOWN the best episode. Disney is the ONLY company mixing live and animated action as if they're contiguous. Salute the vision
Live action one piece ?
First off, one piece is not a UNIVERSE, it's a show with some OVAs and spin offs. Not impressed by One Peice, live action or no. Meandering "chosen one" anime like Black Clover, One Peice, Sweet Reincarnation, just NEVER END so I'm gonna continue to pass like I do on Dragon Ball [insert version here] LOL@@_ripVanWinkle_
Even if you just watched the very last season (7) of animated Clone wars you'd be caught up on Ahsoka background and it'd give more context to this series
Ashoka was 14 at the start of Clone Wars. The last scene in the flashback was her at 17. Specifically during Season 7, which was the Siege of Mandalore against Darth Maul's Death March.
6:13 that is Hera’s actual biological son. His father was Kanan Jarrus: a human jedi that survived Order 66 and was one of the main characters in Rebels (alongside her, Sabine, Ezra, Ahsoka, the dude named Zeb, and Chopper). Edit: Just went back and watched it. I can see they only had 1 kid.
They had another kid?
@@freeamericanthinker558kanan and hera had one kid being Jason
You made up the other kid. Kanan died before he knew Hera was pregnant.
To clarify at 9:17 he switches to vader to portray that ashoka still views him as vader and not anakin jedi knight
Jacen is half human and half Twilek, which is probably why his hair is naturally green. It’s likely that as he gets older, he’ll have more pronounced twilek features.
Seeing live action little kid Asoka in live action kinda makes me see how messed up the Jedi were
It's revealed padawan as young as 12 years old (Cal Kestis from SW Fallen Order/Survivor) were sent to war and like others have already commented both the Jedi order and the Republic legalized the use of child soldiers like it was the norm (let alone the ethical implications of the Clones), just goes to show the Galaxy was rotten before Sidious came to power.
The actress playing young Ashoka also is Young Gamora from Avengers Infinity War.
So glad yall uploaded this way earlier than usual
To see young Ahsoka live action... Really emphasized how young she was, it's actually heartbreaking 💔 Hayden did an amazing job with the Anakin Clone Wars, we are so blessed to have him!
I finally can end my grieve now that I know Anakin finished her training, it's closure!
This felt like one of the mystical CW/Rebels episodes. Filoni did his thing once again💯
One of the greatest episodes man🐐🔥
10:18 Captain Rex, My Man.
RIGHT?!
man we need a clone wars reaction that would be dope
Perfect episode. Even if you never saw Clone Wars or Rebels, this episode explained how Ahsoka's conscience was tormenting her about Anakin and what her future would hold. When her eyes turned sith yellow?! Damn!!! Dave Filoni put his ankles in this! lol
Jacen is Heras actuall son. His father was human. Humans and Twieleks are one of the very few species who can crossbreed.
Highschool me would've never imagined this reunion. Thanks Dave Filoni 🤍🤍🤍
Best part about using the World Between Worlds here. It’s not there. It’s just the backdrop for Ahsoka’s dream state, so no one needed to explain anything about it to you.
Jacen is definitely the son of Hera Syndulla and Kanan Jarrus.
Don't know if anyone here's said it or not, but, I see a parallel between the final scene of *_The Empire Strikes Back_* in which Lando promises to Leia that he and Chewbacca/Chewie would find Han, and here where Ahsoka promises to Hera that she would find Sabine and Ezra 🤔🤯🥺🥲🤗😉👍😌!
anyone notice how ahsoka's garb turned from gray to a more lighter shade, almost white after "almost" dying? we see you filoni.
She went full Gandalf the White mode
Was just about to sleep, but we're here!!!
You guys really should watch Rebels and Clone Wars, this episode hits so much harder with those 2 series as context.
Jacen is Hera's son with Kanan Jarrus (aka Caleb Dume) who was a Jedi. Also, Ahsoka's head-tails are called lekku instead of tentacles. 😊
She died to enter the world between worlds. Her remembering Baylan gave her a chance to live.
In life you have two grips one on the past and one on the future, the tighter grip you have on one the less of a grip you have on the other. Hold on to the past and fade with it or hold on to the future and change with it. That was anakins lesson to me, live or die
I love this episode and Anakin actually coming back to teach Ahsoka to not blame herself for his fall. Ahsoka finally got her closure. Jacen Syndulla is the son of Hera and Kanan Jarrus. Not sure why he looks more human, but he is her son. He was introduced in the last episode of Rebels. And he does have the green hair. Again he is her legit son.
dude im so glad the lady on the left understood the anakin scene cause a lot of people didn't
That’s Herra’s son for sure he was born with his hair green but u gotta watch Rebels to understand everything
