Nikki: "Why don't people listen to kids?" Me: "Because people have forgotten that they are kids who just want to be heard." They're too busy having the power to be heard to listen to those who haven't yet the power to be heard. That's why. (One thing I couldn't stand as a child is the way I was treated by adults, as if I wasn't yet a legitimate human being because I hadn't yet reached some imaginary threshold that they themselves made up in their adulthood. Now, I am the adult, as the child, and I say that you were always full of it. Somehow, deep down, I always knew that you were making it all up. Now, I am the proof that you did, because there are no answers here in adulthood. Now that I am here, I know that you were lying the whole time. They raised me in deception... They fed me with lies... Now... It's my time to shine. Enjoy the cemetery, my parents who are also children... This is my world now, and I'm handing it down to my own children with better opportunities for understanding than you ever dreamed of offering to me.)

[@nathancline4000]

The fact that Jacen could hear lightsabers certainly makes me think it was definitely the real World Between Worlds.

[@nathancline4000]

I believe the particular scene from Clone Wars was from the Battle of Ryloth. New content but fit into the story previously seen.

[@nathancline4000]

Rex was the Commander of The 501st. The Clone Unit that served with Anakin and Ashoka. He was a new character in The Clone Wars cartoon. He and Ashoka were at the Seige of Mandolore at the same time as Revenge of The Sith, which is the storyline created to tell why neither is in the movie. Obi-wans counterpart to Rex is Commander Cody who we see called by name in ROTS when he shoots at Obi-Wan with a canon shortly after giving him back his lightsaber when Order 66 is called for. Rex is in Rebels, and is said at the end of Rebels to be a white haired, bearded commando we see with Han, Luke, and Leia on Endor.

[@Hobodeluxe960]

One thing I noticed was Ahsoka's "attitude" upon returning. She smiled, she seemed more at peace with herself. I think she blamed herself over Anakin's fate, she (in her mind) abandoned him and she felt guilty. This entire "lesson" was to show her that no she wasn't responsible for his decisions ,he was, he was the teacher, he failed to resist the call of the dark side. And this allowed her to forgive herself and remove that guilt blocking her from that. To prove that she wasn't going to succumb to the lure of the dark side.

[@michaeldarbyshire4581]

From someone who saw the original Clone Wars movie in theaters at 7 years old and is now a 21 year old working towards my degree Ahsoka is such a special character. She quite literally grew up with me. I grew up right alongside her while her story has been told. This episode made me feel seen as a fan. Part of the reason Star Wars is so special is because no matter where you got started you have an incredible universe to explore and stories to enjoy. I cant wait to see what characters my own kids get to grow up with while introducing them to the ones we already know and love 💜

I really love the parallels to Luke in ROTJ, when Luke told Vader, I won’t fight you, here it’s Ahsoka saying the same thing and Anakin responding with I heard that before. Also, when Luke got the upper hand and instead of finishing off Vader he threw away the light saber, Ahsoka did the same thing.

[@coeusdarksoul2855]

Pretty sure that's what Anakin meant when he said "I've heard that before." Which, to me, means that this IS Anakin - post RotJ, and not just in Ahsoka's mind. I mean, Luke could have told her that but that feels like something that makes more sense if it was actually Anakin and genuinely was completing her training by teaching her to let go of her fear of turning into him, and like how Vader told Obi Wan that his turn wasn't his fault it was helping her let go of her guilt.

This really puts into context how young Ahsoka really was during the Clone Wars. I mean, I knew she was 14 when she became Anakin's apprentice but...wow, she was young. No wonder this stuff was getting in the way of her development, she was literally raised as a child soldier. As far as The World Between Worlds goes, I think it can easily be interpreted as either "it was all in her mind as she was dying," or Anakin pulled her there, then sent her back into the water when he was done teaching her. Either way seems correct to me and so it doesn't really matter.

Not only Jacen, but under his guidance, Hera sensed it as well, enough to spur on the search.

[@talisredstar1543]

The world between worlds is not strictly defined yet. Everytime we've gone there its never truely been said if this is real or its all in your head. But like Dumbledore said to Harry. "Is this any less real?" It is a place between time and space, but some could also say so is your mind. Whether there are truly there, or this was all in her head. I believe is purposefully left vague, so it is open to interpretation. I tend to see it as both, but depending on what you need it to be. For Ezra and Ashoka in Rebels, it was a physical place. Here maybe less so, but "Does that make it any less real?"

[@TheLethalGuy]

The little Ahsoka actress has been in some big roles in the past 4 years. She’s the next big thing in acting for sure. She knocks it outta the park everytime. What a talent

[@BattlerClerk]

Seeing Ahsoka finally get the closure and acceptance she needed to move past the legacy of Anakin was so phenomenal. Her demeanor this whole series and even in Mandalorian refusing to train Grogu spoke to how much Anakin's turning affected her. Her fear of what happened to Anakin and what that meant for her legacy has driven her, not her desire to save Ezra or her care for her friends. This was really exemplified in her transformation after speaking to Anakin, her joy and peace in every moment felt so beautiful to see. "You're more than that because I'm more than that" really spoke to both Ahsoka's perception of Anakin as well as our own, and felt like such a ceremonious message for such a beloved Star Wars character.

Pretty sure that it was the actual World Between Worlds since Jacen (and eventually Hera) could "hear" Ahsoka and Anakin's lightsaber duel. Also I'm thinking that Ezra would end up being Jacen's Jedi mentor/master since it would complete the circle from Kanen being Ezra's Jedi Master.

[@yetibeardson1168]

How can he hear a duel in what is basically a different dimension though? Force users can essentially read thoughts and emotions so doesn't it make more sense he could sense her thoughts as she was nearly dying and having a 'life flashing before her eyes' moment?

@@yetibeardson1168 Another big hint that this whole thing is taking place in the WBW is Anakin's flippant reply to Ahsoka when she says that she won't fight him.

If this was all in Ahsoka's mind, I doubt that she would have known of this beforehand.

I mean, would Jacen have heard it in if she was in the World Between Worlds either? Like, it's supposed to be a separate plane of existence connected to the "real" world right? So either way it's wild he heard it. As for her body not being detectable, it could be that while they were scanning she was technically dead or her heart maybe stopped and the near death experience was seeing Anakin and reliving Clone Wars moments.

My thoughts on the scene with Ahsoka and Anakin was that the point of the lesson is that Ahsoka needed to stop second huessing her path and decisions. I saw someone else talk about this and i think i agree. Ahsoka has been doubting herself since she left the Jedi and doubting where she belonged and restraining from getting too involved and in a way that is her failure. Anakins actions were not always the best and he made mistakes too, but he also made a choice and stuck with it. Even while having regrets he still saw it through to the end. He had been quite proactive where Ahsoka has been more reactive or reserved and o think the point he was putting on her is that she needed to make a choice and commit to it and not constently doubt or withdraw from those choices.

What if Anakin has now become something like The Father on Mortis since his death, him being the chosen one could mean that he is more than just a "normal" force ghost at this point and could likely mean he could have access to the world between worlds. Maybe he pulled a part of Ahsoka into there to finish her training so it would and wouldn't be in her head. Not sure how all that would work exactly, kinda just piecing together an idea from the few things I remember and a few things I've seen others throwing around.

Either way, one of the best Star Wars things in awhile by far.

[@aussiejed1]

17:27 Ashoka facing Darth Vader. Remember how the lightsaber battles in ESB and ROTJ felt so good because there was emotional *weight* to them... that's what this feels like.

I think the world between worlds is accessed in two different ways. One through the murals like in rebels which opens access to the doors, and this other way through the force which has no doors. Ezra went there through the force when be collected his lightsaber crystal and spoke with Yoda. It's force ghost Anikin.

I went from thinking episode 1&2 were boring and losing interest, too not being able to wait every Tuesday for this show ! This episode was awesome!

[@talisredstar1543]

To tell a whole story you need to know all of the pieces. Yes I would love a scene between Ashoka and Sabine when things were good, or even to of seen a flash back to when Sabine probably blew up at Ashoka for not letting her go to her family. Imagine that, Ashoka tells her to stay, and complete her training, convinces Sabine not to go the way of Luke, and Luke's worst nightmare in Sabine comes true. Because she wasn't there, she couldn't even have a chance to save her family. So she is distraught, she is angry, she is hurt and upset at Ashoka, because she can't handle all of this pain. You know Ashoka is feeling a bit of guilt in not letting Sabine go, but also knowing had she, Sabine would be dead. Most likely. However, all of the previous episodes have been laying the foundation, and giving us hints at things. Mainly that Ashoka has been depressed, guilt ridden, and diminished. Now she has faced all of that, and of her greatest defeat, she will rise and become the Jedi she was always meant to be. After a line people I think will skip over is when Ashoka suggests that Jacen go onto her ship, and he is like "i've seen a starship before.' Ashoka leans down. "A Jedi's starship?" Remember, for a very long time now Ashoka has renounced the Jedi, and being one. However, all her life's journey has led her to being A JEDI. Clone Wars, Rebels, the Ashoka Novel, which is a great read, all of this hasn't taken her away from being a Jedi as much as she may have wanted to, but has taught her to be one of the Greatest of the Jedi. In EU, in particularly the Old Republic, the Force itself has been as much of a teacher to some Jedi, if not more than an actual Jedi Master could have been. Its funny when you laugh at it, saying we just needed patience to see the whole arc, but that is exactly what was needed. We in todays age, feel so much ownership and want different things from Star Wars, that we've forgotten that we are the audience. And when someone that truly gets it like Dave Filoni, and John Favereau, that we need to sit back and let them tell us the whole story. Because despite many of our ages. We are acting like impatient children, and wanting to know the ending without seeing the Journey that gets us there. This doesn't excuse things that disney has done, at all. But Dave Filoni has not let us down. In my opinion. Even the "filler" episodes of Clone Wars, and Rebels still added to the over all affect that led us to love both Series as whole.

I think what Dave did in ep.5 is amazing for fans who are familiar to the clone wars animation and non-familiar fans. That Anakin and Ashoka interactions can be interpreted as Ashoka actually in the world between worlds being taught the lesson she needs from her master who is light and dark and back to light, but, also, it can be interpreted as primal instinct of any intelligent being who is trying to survive through working through subconsious mind through her memories .(which were all actual events from clone wars) Dave is amazing!!!

[@thedarkknight2221]

After seeing Ahsoka having a moment of catharsis with her master, and letting go of her guilt and pain to more fully embrace the Light Side, Rosario Dawson now truly has become the Ahsoka we remember from Clone Wars! I loved how this episode showed the more of the fact that Ahsoka was sadly both a Jedi AND a child soldier. What’s more is that while while the Jedi were taught to not form attachments to people, she and her master clearly cared for not just their men but their friends and family. And while Anakin failed and fell to the Dark Side because he couldn’t let go of those he loved, Ahsoka succeeded and not only learned to let go and move on, she has now risen and has now become tied with Luke Skywalker for me as the greatest Jedi of life time. This is also easily the best performance Hayden has ever given as Anakin, he actually felt more like Anakin from the Clone Wars than the movies. I honestly never thought I would see LIVE ACTION scenes of Clone Wars, or even Hayden in Anakin’s Clone Wars armor!

[@Billyregin]

Fans are lucky Hayden is so forgiving of the same fans who bullied and mocked him. The one thing you can count on fans for is being jerks to actors. Jake Lloyd, Ahmed Best, Hayden, Kelly Tran...just a nonstop pattern

[@jbmiller3280]

The wooden acting of both Hayden and Natalie Portman (combined with the absurd dialogue) in the Prequels justified some of that mockery. Having characters like Jar Jar added rancid icing to the overcooked cake.

[@74gould]

Honestly my favorite episode of Star Wars TV we’ve gotten so far. Unbelievable. ❤😭🤘🏻

[@clarejean3309]

I'm going to be honest....this is the best episode we have so much. also little ahsoka in her early days of the clone wars is so adoreable!!!!! Also Hayden in Anakin's clone wars armor was amazing! But the fight between Anakin and Ahsoka here was so awesome! Also Jacen (hope I spelled that right) is so adorable! Great reaction! Can't wait for more!

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

If I remember correctly, it's spelled Jacen.

[@clarejean3309]

thanks, I wasn't sure how his name was spelled!@@CloneCommanderCrater1102

[@brandongreco8804]

That first scene with them was the battle of Ryloth. Early season 1 of Clone Wars. This was a master class of cinema. Absolutely stunning

[@sarageller6887]

I think she was in the world between worlds because Jacen heard the lightsabers. Great reaction💖

[@BorisK83]

The flashback scene with young Snips reminded me so much of the scene in Avengers Infinity War when we saw young Gamora inside the soul stone. The whole sequence in the world between worlds was nothing less than astounding. Hayden Christensen deserves to be in more projects.

[@nyghtmoon]

Same actress played both

[@TheMimiSard]

There is a concept in fanfic, "Suitless Vader", where, for whatever plot point the fic has, Anakin doesn't get burned and injured. This episode? made than canon, even if it was a WBW near-death vision. Also, just because it was a vision doesn't mean it didn't happen. It happened, in the Force, and it was really Anakin, because that is what Ahsoka needed.

[@TheMimiSard]

The girl playing teen Ahsoka is kid Gamora from Infinity War, Ariana Greenblatt. She's 16 now, and I think she had just the right face shape for a direct translation of the animated CW Ahsoka. Also, it is totally Tem's voice in Rex.

[@TheMimiSard]

My feels - I have not watched "The Clone Wars", but for the last few months I have been deep-diving into the fanfic fandom and while I was aware that Clone wars existed, it was not really my Star Wars (I am an OT girl, I was old enough to understand movies to see RotJ in cinemas the first time), but I feel my recent attention to CW content has given me an outline of how awesome the series was, and I have watched various clip vids here on YT, so being able to see it in live action is still very much a happy thing, and I undetsand how the relationship between Anakin and Ahsoka is such a SW mainstay now, so some really good scenes of them together LA is a treat that makes me happy. I am wondering what the effect this will have on fanfic will be. I already know one person on my fanfic discord group (it's home to a circle of writers whose works I read) was very "Live Action Suitless Vader!".

[@superboyprime515]

The interaction between Ashoka and Anakin was perfect and that purrgil sequence at the end was magical :) Best episode yet :)

[@Pravda3]

Big shout out to young Ariana Greenblatt. Will be fun to watch her career as time goes by.

[@ichigo987117]

Just so you know in Star Wars rebels it’s mentioned that Sabine’s ancestor was the only mandalorian to make it into the Jedi order and he was the one that made the dark saber. So she is the ancestor to a Jedi from about 2000 years ago

[@Nandrall18-25]

Clan Wren was just a vassal of House Visla, the two Clans were not actually related.

[@andrewli6606]

@@Nandrall18-25 vassal houses typically intermarry with their liege Lord house. Given 2000 years of history, almost certainly.

[@kylewright7882]

Episode really drove home how young Anakin and especially Ashoka were during the Clone Wars. She was 14 during her first mission and Anakin 19. They had several years of just trauma. When she tells Anakin she won’t fight him and he replied “I’ve heard that before”, was a reference to Luke. His lesson was reminding her that he taught her never to give up, but that she isn’t him and won’t make the same mistakes he did by joining the darkside. Hence you see her go from dark clothing to light when she comes to. He also reminds her that she came from a Jedi line of Anakin, Obi, Qui Gon, Dooku, and Yoda. Jedi that challenged the status quo but we’re strong in their convictions. As far as the flashbacks they were actual live versions of the animated show. First one was her first mission. Last one was her fighting on Mandalore after leaving the Jedi order and helping the 601st before Order 66. Her attachment to the clones basically are her family. She spent 3 years fighting with them. So much so that the Battle for Mandalore the 501st pint their helmets orange and white in honor of Ashoka leading them again.

[@Lowkeyakari1153]

I loved her in clone wars, to see a live action young her, especially during the siege of Mandalor is just pure perfection. The young actress did AMAZING.

[@tomkalmar9926]

need petition for a live action Clone Wars film

[@SnarkyRogue]

Hayden knocked it out of the park with this one. From capturing Lanter's performance of Anakin in Clone Wars, down to switching to Vader the second that red saber ignites. "Live, or die." "No!" "Incorrect."

[@darrenbabidge4694]

Carson's reaction to Jacen's parantage. 'Okay' 😅😅😅. Perfectly timed and perfectly delivered. What an episode on soooo many levels!

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Appa got comedic timing

[@troylazarus4102]

Ahsoka sinking into the water after her final fight with Anakin/Vader was like a baptism. Going under the water, signifying death, and rising - representing life - being reborn. Then we see her all in White - a hat tip to what happened to Gandalf in Lord of the Rings. She's made peace with her past and is no, in essence, a new person. Also, you may want to research rumors that Disney has replaced Temuera Morrison. He will no longer be in future Star Wars projects.

[@queztgod]

The Clone Wars flashbacks were things she still felt guilt over. The first was her loosing a bunch troops because of bad judgment call. The 2nd was her feeling guilty for being at the Siege of Mandalore instead of with Anakin. She feels it’s partly her fault that he turned to the dark side. The flashbacks weren’t scene for scene the same but were actual events that happened

[@keebler8612]

I think Ashoka was in the “World between world”, just not the one we know. This was the world between life and death. Anakin has been dead for only 5-6 years at this point and this could be where force ghost reside.

[@joseomarperez9227]

If you think about it, she was in a inside conflict with Anakin aka Vader, she was in fear of facing him having doubts of herself having the strength to even kill him. Both sides of him help her understand that he’s gone, only good memories left, same with Kenobi after he learn Anakin was alive. Love this demonstration from Filoni

[@pemberliegh]

For CW. I don't think they were duplicating scenes, but it was kind of a compilation that captured the essence of a few different arcs in early CW. Similar to the Mandalore section. The siege of Mandalore is in CW, give a watch to the last 4-8 eps of CW for Ahsokas post Jedi journey.

[@erindrury785]

HAYDEN showing how he casually played two of the most goated characters in movie verse history and aced in it

[@Warriorten10]

"There's something about the water." I think that the ocean Was the portal to the WBW. The Loth Wolves took the ghost crew to the other side of Lothal by going through the ground into a starscape that looked like the WBW. Places like Lothal, Seatos, or even maybe Dagoba are probably incredibly tuned to the cosmic force. The jedi temple portal in Rebels could have been an easier access point for the average force user

[@leisastalnaker3790]

I think she was in the Star map. If had looked behind her you’d see the same illustrations that were shown on the map when it was projected. It did seat itself into her hand.

[@nickgoodlock263]

In rebels the world between worlds was like a pocket dimension you physically entered.

[@OshithaNarangoda]

She WAS in the World Between Worlds. Great reaction!

[@dml6310]

What I got out of the wbw lessons was that Ashoka was trained to be a soldier but that’s not all she is. In the wbw we saw that Anakin wasn’t just clone wars anakin or the evil darth Vader. He was different people at different times of his life, and he needed Ashoka to learn that she can be too.

[@vladychiez]

I know nothing about The world between worlds but I don't think that's only in Ahsoka's head... remember Jacen heard them fighting, even Hera.

[@irrumnaaz]

I love the fact that we see Anakin post vader, like yep he's gone back to the light, it's so satisfying. We need more Anakin man, I wanna see more of Hayden. He's amazing.

[@lordfoul6259]

Loved this episode that really was Anakin if that was just in her head Jacen wouldn't able to hear Ahsoka and Anakin fight she was having a near death experience the world between worlds seems to be where the force ghosts reside

Toughts are also part of the Force! Master Jedi can sence conflict within other Jedi! Maybe Jacen has the power to sence the conflict within ppl!

You can tell Ahsoka is still fond her master (memories of him) despite him being Darth Vader in the end. ♥

[@coreozurn4950]

I pictured Ahsoka talking to the starwhales like Dory in Finding Nemo. 😂😂

[@PaulGuy]

The first flashback took place during the Battle of Ryloth, which was covered on the _Clone Wars_ show, although that specific scene wasn't. You can see a couple of Twi'leks talking with Rex and Anakin during the scene. The second one was the final arc of _The Clone Wars,_ during the beginning of the Invasion of Mandalore most likely. So both battles were in the show, but not those exact scenes. Ariana Greenblatt, the actress they got for young Ahsoka, did a fantastic job of mixing Clone Wars Ahsoka with the mature Ahsoka from _Rebels_ and the Mandoverse.

[@NinjaChris77]

Anakin teaching her everything he knows, means holding on to live aswell, like he did!

[@ESPirits87]

At the end of Ahsokas duel with Anakin you can see her conflict, that's why she sees Sith Anakin, she feels responsible.

[@jimmylopez433]

Well, that's why Anakin shows that to her. He sees that's what is holding her back and forces her to confront it one last time.

[@Psyfi85]

Her eyes went Sith yellow before deciding to toss saber away. Very reminiscent of ROTJ and it’s like Vader saw Luke in her before going back to Anakin.

[@bdonkulousgames8562]

"But its better than going nowhere." is such an Anakin line..I can totally imagine Ani saying that to Obi Wan...Filoni is killing it with this show

[@bidwell13]

21:29 it’s funny when I first saw this scene one other scene popped in my head from Episode 3 when Yoda told Obi-Wan to not look at the security recordings that all he’d find is hurt. They did do an awesome job with young Ahsoka. She’s the same actress that played young Gamora in Infinity Wars and she also played in the new Barbie movie.

[@silverbane1977]

One of the best episodes of the series so far. I still have a lot of unanswered questions as to who and what exactly happened but very enjoyable nonetheless.

[@mrcheese5383]

Have you seen rebels and clone wars?

[@couchtime3739]

God this series is peak, I wish every Star Wars show had this standard

[@internaut4257]

I like to think Ahsoka realy was in the world between worlds, and she realy did meet Anikin there, who came to give her closure, to let go of the guilt she carried for leaving her master and the path he took. You can tell she feels lighter after that experience, she smiles more, and ofcourse shes wearing the white.

[@70briareos]

Sabine not destroying the map reminded me of Luke in Empire Strikes Back when he leaves his training with Yoda to save Leia and Han. Yoda and Ghost Obi-Wan told him not to, but he did anyway. "It rhymes".

[@sakisaotome6753]

I only watched the clone wars 3 years ago during quarantine and the moment i saw General Anakin Skywalker is his iconic armor and short hair well it blew away both last weeks reveal and the Luke reveal for me. This was the moment for me (Well that seeing Sabine in live action)

[@Norkkah]

What I find interesting is Anakin finally obtained the power to save people he cared about from dying. And the line, “You’re never too old to learn Snips.” Anakin learning that the Jedi Order’a too old policy was flawed. And him hearing that before was a nice call back to when Luke said he won’t fight him in Episode 6.

[@milanbanas101]

I'm still crying people. Real emotional damage. The true return of the king. So many emotions. For me, more brilliant than all films after 1-6. A beauty. A time machine exists, his name is Dave Filoni. He really took me back A long time ago.. to my childhood❤😂😢
