Ahsoka: gets beat by some scrub Anakin: kindly says GET UP, YA BUM!

Watching it a second time, I feel like Ahsoka's melancholy, no nonsense attitude in the first half of the series was a result of her giving into fear in a very subtle way. She knew that the one who trained her had fallen and done evil, vile things...and he had taught her everything he knew...and perhaps she worried that she would suffer the same fate. So she tried to harden herself against it because she feared it might be inevitable. The lesson here was that she did not need to stand in his shadow or follow his path. She could choose life....she could choose to be more...and that's what she did. Instead of striking down Anakin in that moment as a Sith would do, she made her choice to not give in. To live.

Precisely. The whole line -- Dooku to Qui-Gon to Obi-Wan to Anakin to Ahsoka -- they all possess the same base knowledge but each one added their own style, their own beliefs to the chain. Ahsoka will do the same and pass her knowledge on to Sabine, who perhaps will continue on. The difference is that Ahsoka is the first of the Jedi to truly realize that following the Force can be more than the dogmatic order that the Jedi became. In the same way that the Protestant church split from Catholicism because of their belief that bureaucracy & dogma should not stand in-between a person's relationship with God, Ahsoka is taking the lessons of her forebears and stripping them to the fundamentals to create a stronger, more direct connection to the Force.

exactly, just like Anakin said to her she is more just like he was, and it was Luke who showed him that. Ahsoka became disillusioned with the Jedi after being falsely accused, and was always clearly conflicted about being used for a war, and then to top that all off with that leading to her master falling to the darkness caused a part of her to doubt herself.

And gosh Hayden’s take on Clone Wars Anakin was truly remarkable. The Anakin from Episode II was much quieter, insecure and unsure of himself, but Clone Wars Anakin had much more confidence and knew who he was and what he could do and didn’t let that be hidden. The Anakin that we grew up knowing in the Clone Wars, that’s the Anakin that I saw last night. Even the way and the tone that Hayden spoke sounded so much like Matt’s take on Anakin Skywalker. It was Clone Wars Anakin in the flesh, the mannerisms, the voice tonality, the smirks, the jokes, the bluntness, the care, the sadness in his eyes as he sees the world that Ahsoka is growing up in. It was all just beautiful and perfect, everything I imagined whenever thinking of Clone Wars in live action.

She is going to improve over time but still we cannot expect the actress to do crazy flips like in the animated series. Still would love to see a fight with the same speed as Anakin vs Obi Wan on Mustafar. Apparently they were moving even faster but had to slow their moves a little so we can be more aware what is going on (which is crazy since they were moving extremely fast anyway).

Hear me out. Dave is making canon the fact that Anakin literally *is* the chosen one. This is his purpose now. The keeper of the World Between Worlds, or similarly powerful force entity. After death he continued to hone his abilities in the force and found his way to the World Between Worlds. He achieved a perfect balance of light and dark, literally becoming the embodiment of "balance." He was able to control the light and dark side of the force at will (subduing his sith eyes). Comparably, in the Clone Wars he was able to control/submit the daughter and son simultaneously. The Father wanted him to replace him as the arbiter of the force because he knew he was the chosen one. If Dave chooses, he could give us everything we've ever wanted. Side note: I think Ahsoka's final lesson was a test of her ability to overcome her battle with the dark side. It was symbolized by her holding his RED lightsaber in that moment, and her eyes went slightly yellow. Every Jedi is tested by the dark side. Anakin lost his battle with it. Ahsoka chose to rise above her anger and guilt, and let it go. Anakin then subdued the dark side in him, said "theres hope for you yet", and sent her back to the mortal world. She learned her lesson, and from that point on, her demeanor was much more Ahsoka-like. Hopeful. Optimistic. And most importantly, fully trusting in the force.

This was Hayden's redemption. Hayden always played Anakin as an angry young man, we didn't see him as a kinder Jedi like Obi-Wan. He had his gentle moments with Padme, but he wasn't actually on the job during those moments. So we got to see Anakin as a caring teacher.

I agree. Seeing 14 year old Ahsoka having to fight in a war really hits hard in live action where you see an actual child.

I knew Ahsoka was young during the Clone Wars, but the Ahsoka I remember was the kind of girl that had attitude, was snippy, was able to smile and joke with Anakin, but here we see a different side, a side that we haven’t really seen before and it made me so sad realizing how young she truly was. Her being a Jedi and having abilities and fighting with weapons sort of masked the fact that she was a child, but in this episode we see an Ahsoka who is scared, afraid and sad by what she sees. She doesn’t want to fight and she doesn’t see it as heroic. She actually seems ashamed in the fact that she has to be a warrior and not a peacemaker.

That’s the thing I loved about this episode, you see that Ahsoka was a literal child soldier during the Clone Wars. Because of how stylized the show was, it never really got that across, but seeing it here is a complete perspective changer. Ahsoka and a whole generation of padawans grew up only knowing war and how to fight, not how to live. They’re like the clone troopers, who were bred only for the war and once it was done and their part was played, they were tossed aside. It’s great the Ahsoka finally realized she needed to actually live and finally let go of the weight of the war and Anakin’s fate. It was so good seeing her smile and act relaxed when they were in the purgill’s mouth. 10/10 episode.

"Captain Gerrard, this is General Syndulla. I'd move your fleet out of there if I were you." *WHALES*

I watched this many times and I never realized that we could see her ears @19:12 thanks for pointing that out!!!

I really get the feeling that Anakin is the protector of World Between Worlds and we can see he has achieved the balance of light and dark, becoming the role of the Father from Mortis that would bring and maintain balance in the force where as Ahsoka is the heir of the Daughter. Beautiful episode it was perfection.

I felt the symmetry between "you didn't kill Anakin, I did" from Obi Wan & getting Ahsoka to make the choice to "live" was poetic.

The actor playing young Ahsoka is Ariana Greenblatt who is 15. She did such an amazing job.

"They never listen." That wasn't just Huyang lamenting Ahsoka and Sabine, that was for every Jedi that died on a mission he was also on over the last 25000 years.

The editing and the cinematography was on point. The cuts between Vader and Anakin a couple times was enough. You don’t need him to be Vader and have her fight Vader, the red lightsaber and it being Anakin was enough with the cuts to Vaders suit and the breathing and hints of his voice too. She has WAY more time and emotional connection to Anakin then Vader. We’ve also seen her fight Vader anyways, she doesn’t need to fight Vader again. This was him trying to make her more aware of how she doesn’t need to be afraid of Sabine or herself turning like him and her constantly being in war isn’t her fault or her meaning in life. Loved that it was a teaching lesson but she had to get over him and forgive herself for his fall by fighting him in some way. Seeing Rex and the siege of Mandalore, along with Clone Wars era Anakin armor, was great as well.

The music at the end with ahsoka finally being unburdened by war which shes seen since she was a child and the purgil taking them and the music WOW . watched 4x and every time I get Goosebumps

Ahsoka delivering the "Boot to The Head" brought back an old comedy routine. For us *older folks (I'm 66),* "Boot To The Head" is a comedy sketch by The Frantics that was played and a favorite of the Dr. Demento radio show. There's also a live performance of a song by the same name.

Just an incredible episode. Very fulfilling and satisfying. It's going to take weeks to fully unravel everything

It just occured to me... The Pirgills are the fusion of an octopuss, a whale and a stingray

This is what I am imagining: Hera is in the middle of being court marshaled and right before they give the verdict, Ahsoka and Ezra pop in to inform the senate that Thrawn has returned. This is when Hera see’s Ezra for the first time in years, to help her when she needs it most. I think that is very fitting.

god this was my favorite episode arguably ever from a SW series

Ashoka the White has been reborn through the Force and her experience with Anakin. She needed that to move forward. It's absolutely incredible what Dave Filoni has done with this show. Literal chills when Vader's image flickered over Anakin. WOW!!!

This is peak star wars. This episode, in this series just fantastic. I didn't know what to expect, but it wasn't anywhere near what we got. What a time to be alive.

Anakin teaching Ahsoka that she is more than just a warrior and that doesn't need to be her only lesson to Sabine, that she is not doomed tofollow the same fate as him. All that while exploring pivotal moments during the Clone Wars. Love how we know that Ahsoka realized the lesson from the change in her demeanor, she looks like she took a huge weight off her back on the way she talks and acts now. Plus the obvious change of Jedi clothes. Also HELL YEAH! The Force is in everything just like Yoda said long ago. Loved how Jacen was able to hear the duel between Anakin and Ahsoka and also being able to guide his mother to hear it too. ♥ Suck that "Sabine can't be a Jedi" haters.😂 And the purgils. Beautifull. 😁😁😁

When Bendu says "God Damnit!!" Same emotion I was feeling!

There was so much to love about this ep but I absolutely _adored_ the small detail about Leia covering for Hera. That's so in-character for her to not only respect Hera and take the Thrawn threat seriously, but also a great implication that she hasn't forgotten working with Ezra back during Rebels. I wasn't sure if any of the OT trio would be referenced at all in this show so that made me insanely happy in addition to everything else

Hayden Christensen make Darth Vader scarier even without the suit. Amazing performance. And the transition from sith to jedi only with face expressions and that smile... Hayden deserves all the appreciation and love from the fandom.

Live action Clone Wars complete with Hayden’s Anakin interacting with Ahsoka and a cameo by Rex. This episode was not just fan service but a love letter to Star Wars fandom. We love you too Dave Filoni. May the Force always be with you.

This Episode is one of those Best Dreams like when they show up un announce and make us smile.

Star Wars is back! And it's all because of Dave. My favorite moment from this episode was seeing Ahsoka's final and most important lesson. Her transition from Ahsoka the grey to Ahsoka the white was truly metamorphic. Her being stuck in the mindset of “my legacy is death and destruction” and later Anakin showing her that her legacy is “life and light” and now we have Ahsoka the white who trusts completely in the force was a sight to behold.

I don’t think it ever left. The presence of some lackluster moments doesn’t undo good Star Wars. Admittedly Mandalorian, Rebels, Rogue One and Andor have carried their weight and it would be nice for people to celebrate what’s gone right more openly.

I didn't quite catch it on the first viewing but that part where Anakin says that HE is more than that, as well. The moment for me was when Ahsoka tosses the saber aside in such a 'Luke' moment and chooses to live. Choses to move on, to grow, to heal. And the look on Anakin's face...I choose to believe he's also remembering his son.

@@busted_rolex You know you really shouldn’t tar everyone with the same brush because I almost completely agree with you. I’ve never looked back to the bad SW content that we’ve gotten before. It just seemed right to say “SW is back” because this is some of the best quality content that we have gotten in a while.

I think Anakin has embraced the role of the chosen one. They made him Mortis without saying it in so many words and bogging down the narrative for those who haven't watched Clone Wars. He can embody both the light and the dark side. Truly bring balance to the Force. He can manipulate the World Between Worlds to influence Ashoka or anyone who can enter that realm. Maybe even Luke…? That was amazing.

“Ahsoka the white” I thought the same thing! 😂😂😂

New nickname for the big purrgil - baleen skoll 😂

That final scene with the purrgil had me all kinds of emotional. The combination of music and the look of awe and wonder on the X-Wing pilots faces really brought it home, and you gotta give props to the power of the Volume to put the actors amongst these scenes and react directly.

20:34 Hera right here was giving Aldo Raine vibes from the end of Inglorious Bastards. “You’ll be shot for this!” “Nah, more like chewed out. I been chewed out before.”

Credit to the music!!! OMG, i feel like it's exactly the same as when Esra left with Thrawn! So emotional! My god Filoni, what a masterpiece, felt like Zimmerman!

She's so adventurous now, she really needed her master being like "do your thing! don't be so cautious of this legacy! don't get beaten again!"

Ahsoka looks so at peace after that experience! LOVE IT. And the outfit? *chef’s kiss*

I can't say how much this episode meant to me ... 10/10

Huyang: "So was her master." Hera: "Oh yeah? What was he like?" Huyang: "...that's a loaded question."

I don't see many people pointing it out, but Anakin's eyes are extremly symbolic here - and I don't mean the obvious "Good and Bad" thing. When he was himself, his eyes were normal. When he was Vader, his eyes were sickened yellow. But when he was fighting Ahsoka in the World-between-Worlds with his Red Lightsaber, his eyes weren't yellow anymore - they were bloody red (and not the whole eye, like Darth Maul had - just the eyes' iris). This implies how much powerfull Anakin really is, because this is literally the symbol of complete control over the Dark Side within oneself.

That discussion at the end was even better than the reaction of you two to the episode it was so beautifully nerdy thak you for that.

Hayden absolutely ate his role in this episode and left zero crumbs behind. I always knew had it in him & I’m SO glad Dave Filoni brought him in!!

Hayden was absolutely incredible in this. Your take on the maturity in his voice was spot on. He's definitely taking on more of Matt Lanter's characterization.

When it comes to Star Wars and pointing out even the smallest details, you guys are the fucking best!

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!

We watch you as soon as you post bc sometimes we enjoy your reactions and encyclopedic knowledge more than the episodes. We have a “drinking game” to see how often Kyle gets choked up. We agree this is the best episode so far.

I´ve seen the episode but I have been waiting for your reaction all day. Keep ém coming. May the Force be with you

They've finally got a good fight choreographer!! YES!

23:16 “She looks like she’s doing an exorcism on Theoden, king, right now” 🤣🤣🤣

Anakin finally learned how to keep the ones he loves from dying.

Hayden still has those saber skills..... and this was the most alive I felt Anakin portrayed

The fact this is all coming together….Filoni has dreamed of this for a very long time. The man is pure brilliance. Seeing little Ahsoka on screen and Anakin in his armor ?!? I’m dead.

Dropped everything I was doing to watch you guys react to this

First Andor, and now Ahsoka! This was where I was thinking Disney was going to bring the Star Wars story! FINALLY! They are doing what I had hoped they were going to do!

This episode felt like a movie! This is why we’ve been demanding longer episodes! You want all this gold packed in! This was epic! Gave me chills!!! Wiped away tears at the end it was so awesome!! Watching Anakin fight again was totally awesome!!! Dave Filoni needs to redo 7-9! His vision of Star Wars is spot on! The flashbacks were insane!

I will never get tired of seeing your reactions. the positivity this channel puts out is a truly a speck of gold in a pile of KZread dust that is Star Wars content. Too many negative channels presenting their opinions as the “correct” one, not enough of this. Keep it up guys, you truly embody what it means to be a Star Wars fan and I love seeing how much the channel has grown!

when the episode ended and it said "Directed by Dave Filoni" i was not even remotely surprised, THIS EPISODE IS ABSOLUTELY NUTS!!!

Ahsoka: "I won't fight you." Anakin: "I've heard that before." Return of the Jedi Luke: "I will not fight you." Also the credits confirm Captain/Commander Rex is voiced by Temuera Morrison.

People are going to say “How did Ahsoka beat knightfall Vader?” And my answer is, he wanted to train her more. I personally believe, even at the start, he was holding back. From knight Anakin to knightfall Vader. He was holding back. I also believe that he became the new Father too.

I don't know why people are having this discussion. of course he was holding back, his goal was to complete her training, not to recreate the operation nightfall😂

We didn’t see him flashing his “Vader” side until after she made her comment about him being dangerous. She made it clear that him falling was what held her back, so he intentionally put it in her face so she had to confront it and prove to herself that she could be more than just his fall

When Bendu realizes its the siege of mandalore he reminded me of commodus getting excited from the gladiators blood being spilled. 😂
