[@corpyhogan4433]

I think the whole point of Anakin coming back to talk to Ahsoka was teaching her what he never did him….. Letting Go. The guilt she’s been carrying around since the end of the clone war and the guilt she has, for what happened to Anakin

[@cmccorquodale2003]

That's a way better answer cause people ik kept saying it was to tell her to live and not die and I was like yeaaa that's a given but I didn't understand the depth to the answer till now.

[@multiverse_media2023]

That’s what I thought as well. Anakin helped Ahsoka finally let go, something she couldn’t do after seeing Vader’s funeral alongside Luke and Rex.

[@zeeboss7553]

They honestly left it very vague and open to interpretation. I agree though, I think he was trying to get her to learn from his mistakes, breaking away from the fight or die mentality that brought him to the dark side.

[@yiyithewuster]

@@cmccorquodale2003thats still true but in a figurative sense. Ahsoka was literally a child soldier and has been fighting for her life for the past like 30 years. That plus the guilt of leaving Anakin to fall has rendered her a shell of herself. I think thats why her character was so dead and emotionless for the first 3.5 episodes. She was training sabine to be a soldier because shes so stuck in her past trauma and was terrified that the return of thrawn was going to bring another 20 years of war. We see her brighten up (both literally and emotionally) immediately after the force vision

[@orrthehunter]

@@cmccorquodale2003 The way I see it, it is both. A double meaning in Anakin's teachings that are related to each other. By refusing to let go of her guilt she was not even living. She was being reckless to a point it is almost as if she wanted to die. To finally let go and move forward, Ashoka can now Live compared to how she was before being reckless to a point she will eventually die from it.

One of the best things of this scene that goes unnoticed is the wisdom of Anakin. A side of him we never saw in episode 2 or 3. He is no longer haunted by his fear or lust for power. He is truly the Anakin that was redeemed by Luke. A wise Jedi master teaching one last lesson to his apprentice who he cared for deeply. It give us a small glimpse on post-Vader Anakin. It it truly a joy to see.

[@basicbluetrash]

2:08 The way Hayden delivers that line 😭

[@ballrdd24]

I like that when Ashoka tries to justify holding onto her guilt and negative self image by pointing out Anakin’s atrocities, you can see it land with him in how he looks away and has to compose himself before his mentor attitude returns. It genuinely broke his heart (in his usual sink or swim mentor way) to hear right from her own mouth that the reason Ashoka is essentially choosing death rather than to live is because of what his choices did to her ability to trust in her own worth and goodness. He rallies and says “You’ve learned nothing” because this is a lesson and now he needs to teach the way they both learned with each other: hard, fast, work through your problems on the fly because danger’s headed for you. He’s not annoyed with her for bringing up his crimes. He’s deeply saddened and not letting it get in the way because Ashoka doesn’t need apologies from him, she needs her mentor to remind her what she’s made of.

[@truthhertz10]

[@grimgreycastle5141]

Truth

[@tcalamars6962]

I like this idea and hope that is the intent, but I feel like it doesn't really read as that for me but more so as Anakin being annoyed and unserious without the weight of regret and sadness about his horrible actions as Vader that he shows when dying in ROTJ. I was expecting and wish Anakin would have clearly shown his remorse more

[@ladygrey7425]

Indeed. Throughout this story until this point, Ahsoka has been doubting herself and her ability to teach, just going through the motions, and utterly terrified that she was turning Sabine into another Darth Vader. And here is Anakin, essentially telling her "What I did and became has nothing to do with what I taught you."

[@yuutonn5979]

This makes sense, as she was trained by three of the greatest duelists in the order(Yoda, Obi-wan, and Anakin). she was the perfect commander and warrior and wrapped up the conflict in a matter of days.

[@krisynthiagomez5883]

Anyone else love how they mirror each other with their arms crossed and leg stance at 1:20, it shows how much they rubbed off on each other through the course of the Clone Wars and even after they had separated. The master/ apprentice bond is not a one way street and in a weird way I think they were exactly what they both needed during that volatile time.❤ in spite of the way Ashoka was portrayed here (she was not generally whiny or self pitying) most of the time she was the one making jokes and got Anakin to embrace some light heartedness by teasing him and even humbled him at times. She was his first pride and joy after all.

[@RedShogun13]

“You’re more than that. Because I’m more than that.” There’s so many things being said with this one sentence by Anakin. Like most of all how Anakin as Vader for the longest time could not forgive himself. He felt like his sins were all he was. That’s a large reason why he gave up on himself by the time of the OT. His son Luke Skywalker spent the entire OT teaching/showing him what he plainly states right here. That he’s more than his sins, more than his mistakes (even if you want to see Vader as the actual embodiment of Anakin’s sins, he learned/was reminded that he’s MORE than Vader). Seeing Anakin after everything he’s been through standing there acknowledging what he learned in the OT and trying to pass it on to Ahsoka makes me feel all kinds of things in my heart man. Anakin doesn’t say that one sentence in arrogance as if to say “Oh you’re more than that because you’re my student and I’m great”. It’s a proclamation of “Ahsoka, if I can do it, if I can learn this, you can too. And you will.”

[@jameshetherington1]

I agree - While normally I wouldn't feel warm and fuzzy over a character that literally murdered kids, I put it down to the dark side consuming you so rapidly you are no longer really yourself and so those actions are Vaders, but Vader existing is Anakin's fault. His ability to finally let go and move on, even in death - find balance and accept he is more than his mistake in creating Vader, even more than just being a warrior or a Jedi is... heartwarming

[@Deathpool_04]

⁠@@jameshetherington1 Yeah, I think that’s supposed to what the dark side is and does. It’s a real thing that corrupts you the more you get into it and the harder it is for you to come back from rather than something that you could easily control.

[@__jojo__]

Further, when he tells Ahsoka that he's there to finish her training and she replies "It's a bit late for that," I think back to the scene in RotJ, where Luke tells Vader to let go of his hate, and he says "It's too late for me, son," while it really wasn't - and it wasn't too late for Ahsoka either. Anakin has clearly learned a great deal and become a much wiser and more thoughtful Jedi and individual.

I agree with this idea of Anakin having grown and learned that its never too late to try to be better but I feel like the way he says "because I'm more than that" sounds kind of annoyed and defensive which doesn't allow that idea to come across very well. And that could have been a directing fault i don't mean to blame hayden christensen -- or maybe its intentional that he is a bit frustrated by Ahsoka, i just wasn't expecting that and feel like it doesn't really feel like how he felt about his horrible actions as vader when he was dying in ROTJ where it felt like he was sad and remorseful about it

“Ahsoka, you didn’t kill anakin skywalker….. I did 😈”

[@ballrdd24]

That was the lesson of the scene, albeit not just out front and straight to the face. Ashoka was tortured by the fact that she genuinely can’t know whether things would’ve been different if she stayed, and what Anakin is telling her throughout is “it doesn’t matter whether things would’ve been different in the past - you need to look to the future and not let my actions decide what your story means.” If he just flat out tells her that it wasn’t her fault, it removes the ambiguity of whether (audience knowledge aside about the movie release orders) she *could* have made a difference. Instead she has to make a very real and “human” choice to let go of the guilt and what-ifs and not obsess over not knowing. Like the rest of us.

Hayden does a phenomenal job portraying Anakin as not prequel Anakin, but Vader also. And you can see here where his temper is rising and it’s as though he realizes she won’t learn unless she faces Vader, not Anakin. So he goes into that well, but with control. Notice how as soon as he goes into Vader mode, there’s no more talking or joking or reminiscing. He becomes very brutal and disarms her easily. The only way he could get her to respond the way she needed to was for him to become Vader. I’m not a big Disney SW fan, but I have to say that this was well done. It’s my favorite portrayal of Anakin. He looks young, but he has the experiences and maturity of Vader.

[@jared4188]

I love the somber music straight from the last two episodes of the clone wars

[@Jason-kp2ey]

I would love to see a live action movie or limited series of a Clone Wars story with Anakin, Ahsoka, Obi-Wan and Rex

[@jacksonculpepper623]

How is rex even more badass in live action

[@MaximusGlootus]

Anakin seemed so different than ROTS. Here he seems emotionless, cold, and soulless.

[@dae2949]

I love that the 501st troopers in the background have their ahsoka helmet face paint on...

Imagine how crazy it would look if we had this girl recreate Ahsoka's Order 66 scenes.

[@EchoBoomer1987]

I just love how Filoni took the tv shows, animated series, and movies and just put them into a blender. Now we just need the video games.

[@roadwarrior1459]

The girl who played young Ashoka absolutely nailed it.

[@Suteri3400]

Hayden has improved a lot as an actor.

[@tmi9885]

He had better dialogue and direction. Shattered Glass and Life as a House show he has more capability.

[@Zack-bl1cw]

Which is crazy considering he gave up acting for like a decade to be a farmer lol

[@solowingborders3239]

​@@Zack-bl1cwFarming? Really? A man of his talents? I know what happened, couldn't resist the reference though.

[@2Scribble]

His acting was never the problem - Lucas' direction was the problem

[@HunterJumper-sf8cb]

@@Zack-bl1cw I never believed that Hayden actually quit. He just took a break.

She looks so young ❤😭

[@Peyton_S]

It was so cool to see Rex! Man I had goosebumps all over me!

[@breadfactory8248]

Anakin: is that was this is about . Brings out the Vader side

[@emilefoxhall3155]

Man, Tumera Morrison voice as a clone. After so long.

[@izaakfarrington7751]

0:50 Ah! Ah! There he is!! There he is!!

[@nickc1993]

I forgot Rex didnt paint his helmet with the rest of the 501st. So cool to see all this. They should remake clone wars live action

[@spookyuniverse626]

Everyone vibing about live action clones and Rex until you remember what happened to nearly all those clones

[@TheRoguePrince0]

0:37 when people say that mandalorian armor is "lightsaber resistant" they mean from lightsaber slash attacks. As demonstrated by ahsoka, a lightsaber thrust attack will still kill a mandalorian.

[@tjk-goix8513]

It's not pure beskar which means, getting shot will not bounce of you. But kill you

[@MadChristoph]

​@@tjk-goix8513I honestly don't get it, like what were those Mandalorians wearing

[@jameshetherington1]

​@@MadChristophaverage armour - beskar is extremely rare and expensive even before the empire hoarded it. Din managed to get a stash from the Imperial warlord because they were willing to pay through the nose to get grogu, but not every mandalorian warrior has a set

[@thomassantino392]

Rex sounds like Temuera... as long as it's not that TCW guy I'm happy

[@KatieWright01]

I love how Anakin finshes Ahsoka's training it just goes to show you how valuable mentors are to people you learn something from people all the time that come into your life

[@MimMdance]

"The perfect shot doesn't exist" The perfect shot: 2:10 😍

[@ride-playerbb2818]

It's still surreal to me that despite his appearance, this isn't Clone Wars or RotS Anakin, but post-RotJ Anakin. It's so crazy for him to casually reference RotJ (I've heard that before), react to his time as Vader being mentioned, and _turn_ into Vader when needed

[@RedPolarBearRanger]

Arianna Greenblat stole the show here as young Ashoka just as she did as Sasha in Barbie I like how they brought part of The Seige of Mandalore arc from the final season of The Clone Wars to life in live action.

[@brianhanes5413]

It's wild how skilled Ahsoka is at just 17 here. I mean, even at 16 (seasons 5-6) Ahsoka's skill level is on the lines of what you'd expect from a jedi knight. At 17, she'd beat most masters.

[@tyvernoverlord5363]

Seeing the 332nd in action on Mandalore even briefly was badass

[@ethanloguisto]

Lot of these comments aren’t remembering not all Mandalorians wore pure beskar, shits expensive lmao

[@freelands8355]

It's a pity

[@voiceofraisin3778]

@@Theosake Beskar is rare, the richer you are the more you can buy or inherit. Din Djarin is only wearing a full suit of pure Beskar because the Imperial remants picked over the ruins of Mandalore and melted down the property of millions of people and paid him with it. Before that his brown painted armour was plasteel. Same for these guys, mass produced plasteel or plasteel/Beskar alloy.

[@LoLo-l3t]

I think it would’ve been cool to have maul appear here instead of anakin, not as a ghost, but a memory, and tell Ahsoka that he was right and that they could have prevented the empire if she joined him. Then they would duel and maul would push her into the smoke. We would see a red lightsaber, but instead of maul, it would be Darth Vader, who would then transform into anakin with the red lightsaber and sith eyes and press the attack.

[@aldocordova4653]

I would love for her to have asked him “Why’d you do it?” “ Why did you turn?”

[@McFrozenNuggets]

Seeing Anakin reacting to the Siege of Mandalore is amazing, because we all know where he was during that battle: rescuing the Chancellor (and killing Count Dooku in the process), first turning into Darth Vader, murdering tons of Jedi at the temple (including the younglings), slaughtering the Separatists, and fighting Obi-Wan on Mustafar before finally fully becoming Darth Vader with the iconic suit! And Ahsoka only had that echo of Anakin with Mace Windu and Palpatine to go off of from the Force.

[@Adideva3]

Just to see Anakin and Ahsoka back in clones wars and this time in live action was nostalgic. I'm glad that Anakin got to finish Ahsoka's training and that he did what couldn't in the past and in the process saved her life.

[@yourlocalghastyt285]

my only complaint is how ahsoka doesn't sound like ahsoka from the cw. That's it. Honestly an amazing episode

[@adawait2179]

She made easy work of 6 heavily armored and armed Mandalorians. As a kid

[@willpoweramv]

Let's take a second to appreciate that FINALLY for the first time ever, we finally get to see Clones in live action! FINALLY!

[@omarbaba9892]

There have been live action clones in Star Wars for over a year since kenobi😂
