Completely agree. Ahsoka wasn't an agenda, she evolved gradually into the fully realized character she is now. It's like we grew up with her, and now she is an extraordinary Jedi, who also happens to be female. With Ahsoka, everybody wins.

[@dominiccarrano9513]

"Asoka was a bit too much" whoever is saying that doesn't understand why she fared better than other jedi masters. The other jedi got caught completely off guard, some in the middle of a battle. Asoka had time to direct her attention to defending herself from the clones, the other jedi didn't have that(except Yoda because he sensed it and we saw how that played out for the clones)

[@vipermageex5861]

Honestly, no explanation for why Ashoka did so well against the clones is needed. I always felt one of the biggest weaknesses of RotS is how poorly the Jedi Masters fared. They survived years of war to be cut down in seconds, it was just poorly written. In fact, there is a scene when Bail Organa arrives at the Jedi Temple and a Padawan is fighting clones and he does better than the masters!

[@ahsoka5216]

@@vipermageex5861 I guess it's supposed to show how padawans were more trained for combat whereas the masters were trained to be peacekeepers which is probably why they failed as an Order because they were teaching the future generations of Jedi nothing, but war which isn't the Jedi way.

[@Matt-bg5wg]

Plus she had Rex backing her up. She DID fight off a lot of Clones yes, but in the end she got nailed a few times with Blaster fire and even lost her one saber.

[@brett__]

Viper MageEX totally agreed. the jedi masters used to engage in a lot of combat, but in their old age and frailty, they don’t have the energy or the reaction time anymore. also, they don’t engage in combat whatsoever at all. to the contrary, they plan peace treaties and try to expand the republic. they’re more of the generals leading an army rather than the soldiers on the frontlines. totally agree with your point here.

[@f1jones544]

@@Matt-bg5wg the one thing I don't understand throughout this series is why the Jedi don't have wrist straps on their light sabers. They drop them they damned fight/ episode.

@@nkdagcinar I don't blame him. I'm just saying they were going to kill Ahsoka too. And Ahsoka couldn't bring herself to kill them, even in self-defense. Personally, I feel like the deaths of any Clone Soldiers as a result of Order 66 are completely on Sidious. If they come at you mind controlled and force you to defend yourself, you aren't really morally responsible for their deaths. It is Sidious who orchestrated this. But I'm sure that isn't how it would personally feel for anyone who had befriended their troopers. The 501st literally had their helmets painted in Ahsoka's honor

You even see Rex loading the shovel into his starfighter. Rex'es helmet has tally marks, the one on the grave did not. I feel that quite some time had passed when Vader found the scene, but I don't know if he would be fooled by Ahsoka's lightsaber and Ahsoka helmets when they implied in an earlier episode that he can sense her in the Force much like the movies establish he can sense the life of Luke, Obiwan, and even Padme. The time frame would be way after order 66, but (probably) before Ahsoka confronts Vader in Rebels. Then again, maybe they both assume that the other was killed in order 66 and they need to be within proximity to get a good sense of one another as seemingly demonstrated in Rebels where she literally faints upon realizing that Vader is Anakin.

[@mobilegamesonly3170]

Disagree, the arc was good from an interesting standpoint, but it brings up the same issues the sequel trilogy does. We just love clone wars too much to admit it. Let me quote rex from rebels "I didn't betray my jedi." Some people say he didn't because he told ahsoka about the chips, or he didn't do it willingly, but it does not change the fact he shot at ahsoka, which involuntary or not, he did betray ahsoka. And the Ahsoka novel, probably my favorite novel, completely contradicts this ending. Just like the sequel trilogy, this arc is full of plotholes.

How I see the last scene: Anakin went there not long after become Vader just to see what happened to Ahsoka. Anakin still cares about her, in some way, even after the transformation. That's why when we get a close-up, his eyes are not sith yellow, but blue. With Obi-Wan betraying him (from a certain point of view), Padme leaving him and Ahsoka dead, his path towards the dark side is even more complete. Now he is truly alone. If Obi-wan was his brother, then Ahsoka was sort of a little sister to him. Lets think about it, why would Vader go to the shipwreck? It could've been done by a regular storm-troopers, as a routine check. Vader went there himself just to confirm Ahsoka's death. Perfect finale. I couldn't ask for more.

Asoka was able to take on more clones than character like Ki-Adi Mundi because: 1. Asoka knew the fight was coming, and often grabbed the initiative/surprise. The clones got the drop on Ki-Adi and the rest. 2. She had Rex helping her. 3. The clones were looking out/concerned the Maul might blind side them (ie were likely watching their peripheral vision and not giving Asoka 100% of their attention. 4. The astromech droids were helping her as well.

People also have to take in consideration that she was trained by Anakin, one of the greatest Jedi knights at that time. She had the skills and experience to fend off the clones for a bit. Could she have done it forever? Absolutely not, eventually she would have gotten tired and been overwhelmed

[@lazer2541]

Yeah and when she fought in the hangar while rex was starting the y wing you could see that she was getting tired and couldnt hold them off longer

[@mal3nko]

People also need to remember that this is not her first time fending off clones and she has experience dealing with them. She had to face them when the brain worms took over their minds and also when she was on the run (although their guns were most of the time set to stun, it was still impressive she managed to escape them at all).

[@tylermcconnell3147]

You could tell toward the end of the episode that both Ahsoka and Rex were on the brink. They were taking shot wounds and definitely struggling until they got a chance to use the Y-Wing

[@erinaltstadt4234]

Exactly. It makes sense that she would be better than most Jedi, she was trained by the best. His training kept her alive.

[@maxacorn]

not to mention, ahsoka was on the defensive for the hanger fight, fighting not to kill the clones but just defend herself, with rex stunning them to take them out of the fight. plus, she had to stay on the run in this and the previous ep, since even though she was a Jedi, she didn't think she could take on an entire ship full of battle harden clones who knew how she fought and what she could do.

[@JohnDoe-vm2di]

Ill put my feeling like this: This isnt the episode we wanted, but it’s the episode that we needed. I for one wanted to see much more revenge of the sith including things such as Anakin wrecking the temple, shaak ti’s death, resolving Commander Cody’s fate, kanan escaping order 66, bad batch fate, possibly Anakin and Obi wan fighting...BUT, Dave Filoni is correct in saying that this arc needed to be about concluding Rex and Ahsoka’s arc. THAT is what we needed. We already know what happened to Anakin and Obi Wan, there is no reason to rehash what we already know.

[@imasiontist653]

Yeah I felt the same way and even commented saying that I wish we had seen that. I think what you commented changed my opinion slightly, but then again we could have just had another episode or something... idk I just feel like that would have hit hard.

[@mikemiken1963]

Right, you can make the argument that Ahsoka is the main. Character of the series. It ending on anything else would have just been fan service. The suege of mandalore- the end were really good.

That final shot is perfect. In essence, the show was always about the clones, Ahsoka and Anakin, all of which are represented in the shot. The helmets of the clones, bearing the paintjob of Ahsoka, reflecting the silhouette of Anakin, now reborn as Vader. Beyond that, the shot symbolized multiple different ideas. Most obvious of them all, the graveyard of clones symbolized the death of the Republic. Despite winning the Clone Wars, those within the Republic lost everything. Then there’s the helmets, painted to resemble Ahsoka, harkening back to the undying loyalty bestowed upon the Jedi by the Clones, adding to the tragedy of Order 66. _Loyalty means everything to the clones._ Vader’s reflection, slowly disappearing as Anakin walks away from the destruction, reborn as a monster, trapped in a suit of armor, a silhouette of his former self. There are other examples of symbolism, whether it’s the significance of Morai, or Anakin’s blue eyes, trapped and tainted by the lenses of his new mask. Or the saturation of the environment. What was once colorful: the Venator’s hangar bay doors, the orange paint of the 332nd, even the royal blue of Ahsoka’s blades, all of it, dull and devoid of life, replaced by the monotonous grays of the Empire. Anakin, in a sea of dull, pale, white snow, remains the lonely speck of darkness and remembers his past life, remembers Rex and the 501st fighting alongside him. He remembers his days as a general in the Grand Army of the Republic. And he remembers his Padawan, his friend, his sister. He mourns her. And moves on....

I didn't notice too much disparity in the animation, since the storytelling, and the characters(Chopper is my man) kept my attention and allowed me to look past any inconsistency with the animation. And Resistance? Resistance was a Disney Cartoon pure and simple. It has no affiliation with Rebels or the Clone Wars. Its a spinoff of the Sequels. Its a show for kids, with very very little actual violence or thematic element, and the characters are reflective of it. Kas was probably THE most infuriating character in Star Wars to date, even beyond the Sequel cast, and the infamous Jar Jar Binks. At least Jar Jars antics could be lovable. Ezra and Asohka both grow and mature as their series moves forward. Kaz was basically Jar Jar reincarnated and dumped into the lead role, and I hated it.

Also, Rex hesitates and gives her time. None of the others were given time. A lot didnt even get the time to ignight their saber, others were already tired from battle. Look at the deaths we see in Revenge of the Sith. One shot off a speeder. No time to react. Another the ship was shot down. No time to react. Another was in the middle of a battle. Exhausted and it was an elite clone force. Another had the Clones all shoot her in the back before she could even ignight her saber. The other deaths had them dealing with the Clones AND ANIKAN SKYWALKER! Rex hesitated enough to give Ashoka time. She had the droids even the playing field when it seemed over whelming and she had Rex helping her fight them off and in the last moment it was pure luck. She was about to die, nothing else, than the ship just tilts just the right way to knock everyone off their feet and save her life. It's believable and doesnt contradict what we see in the movies.

Ashoka was able to survive this due to Rex hesitating in the beginning. Wasn’t the same for the other Jedi aside from Yoda being an exception. You also got to realize too her and Rex also took some damage too from the clones when they were both trying to fight them all off. It could of gone either way. They could of died, or lived but in this case they were able to survive. (And people say Ahsoka was being a bit much in this episode)? Please she did everything she learned from her years of training that has led to her and Rex’s survival AND, in the end she stuck to her morals and didn’t kill any of the clones. Those were her brothers/friends. Most of the Jedi order probably would of killed them in the situation, but Ahsoka stuck true to her beliefs and spared them. The beliefs that line up to what a Jedi is supposed to be. Even if she doesn’t call herself one, she actually was what a true Jedi was suppose to be.

The other thing with Ahsoka was that she and Anakin had a much stronger connection to the clones. Like if Rex didn't hesitate or feel enough of an attachment for the chip to flip it and make him want to kill her himself, she'd be dead. Most of the other Jedi, especially in the council, didn't have as strong of a connection to the soldiers and the reverse. And since the chip basically mind controlled them, the Jedi didn't sense an emotional shift. So they ended up caught with their pants down often in an open area and killed. Rex's emotional shift, Mauls warnings, AND Anakin's turn to the dark side also put her on edge and avoided her getting caught by surprise as much. She also was inside a ship she knew very well and had explored even more than the clones did since she was a force user, so she could hide much more easily. Plus Maul was causing chaos too. Rex is basically in full survival mode and is trying to detach himself from reality. In the Ahsoka novel, she could sense that the stormtroopers were clones. It's set only a year after Order 66. Also, I agree about animation vs live action. It's a little odd to see characters bouncing between human movements and string based movements. That being said, there have been advancements in blending super powered individuals and live action (Marvel).

@@Cryogenius333 you're proving their point. Anime is just another form of entertainment with multiple different genres like anything else. All forms of entertainment and genres have their troupes. Anime is no different. There are bad animes, mediocre animes, and great animes. There are plenty with stories and characters and overall quality that's better than Clone Wars. My personal fav, Hunter x Hunter(2011). Overall, a better show than Clone Wars imo.

@@Cryogenius333 And u are too. Anyone is. I just wish ppl like yourself wouldn't bad mouth something they're ignorant about. It's fine to not like anime. But it ain't cool to go around spreading that stigma that anime is just degenerate mindless entertainment. Cuz it's definitely not. Quite the opposite actually. The best of the best of Anime arguably has some of the best writing out of any form of entertainment(other than actual books i guess).

@@KingKien95 I dont have to spread any Stigma. Does that well enough on its own. The key difference between Anime and other media? In "other media", 1 out of 100 "examples" sucks. I have to hunt for bad films. In anime? 1 out of 1000 DOESNT suck. I have to hunt for good anime. Anime does not have a quality sensor or "standard" to go through before its aired. This may maximize creativity but unfortunately this inevitably results in amateur animators making bad or "degenerate" media rife with fan service and weird plots.

After watching this, I just became even more angry and disappointed with how poor the sequel trilogy was. If they had made a plan from the beginning, and if KK wasn't such a prick about pushing an agenda, then it might have actually been something memorable and at least gave me some hope for the future of the franchise beginning with TFA. I've come to terms with what deserves to be Star Wars canon and what doesn't, and for me I consider everything leading up to and including The Mandalorian (that is, 5 years after Return of the Jedi) as official canon. This includes the original 6 films (obviously), The Clone Wars, Rebels, Solo: A Star Wars Story, and Rogue One. There is absolutely zero chance Disney or anyone else is going to coerce me into accepting the sequel trilogy as canon. It's just that bad.

There are few shows/movies out there that succeed in creating such an ‘utterly-on-edge’ feeling which those last episodes captured so brilliantly. From the plot and the setting to the characters, the score, and the nostalgia of old rivals and allies together again amidst the backdrop of impending doom, it’s just incredible - in every facet.

I think a canon explanation for Ahsoka being able to survive and fend off so many clones, aside from her being the main character, is that she got extra time to sense what was happening. Rex bought her 10 extra seconds the other Jedi didn't get by hesitating and claiming he will shoot Ahsoka himself.
