[@TheNickHilbert]

He’s smiling because she is back on the path The Force intended for her, and acting like Snips again.

[@steelbuchannon852]

He’s smiling because “this is where the fun begins”

[@RaphaelCosteau]

Hayden couldn't stop grinning during filming because he knew he scored the bag for this

[@LunarRhine]

in short, Anakin can now "stop people from dying," finally.

[@abdirahmanibrahimmahamu5409]

Because Anakin is happy that Ahsoka is not alone and let go her guilt live her life

[@Hazard2005]

I took it as, Ahsoka is exactly where she needs to be.

[@miekeradow1191]

Same, along with other 'reasons', but I'm kinda struggling to put my 'thought' into words.

[@jayo1212]

I like to think Luke tells Ezra this, and also assures him Ahsoka will find her way back...

[@meisterigi007]

Because Anakin wasn't training Snips to stop Thrawn... he trianed her for whatever Baylan Skoll is planning to unleash...

[@alexf.6521]

oh yeah, i was thinking about how thrawn escaped her, i forgot all about baylan skoll still being out there. so what they set up there is either ahsoka will fight baylan again, or join forces to get back to the main galaxy. either way i bet the mortis gods will have something to do with what happens next

[@m34275]

He remembered what Obi-wan told Luke about Ahsoka in the New hope

[@Kapselek0913]

And she was a good friend 🤣

[@VincesInHocSigno]

He's smiling 'cause she said he was a good "Master" 👌

[@robertoldcorn5331]

He also might be happy because even with everything that went wrong. She and Sabine got Ezra home and she repaired her relationship with Sabine and Sabine finally trusts herself with her abilities as a Padawan

[@gamalielmarquez9088]

I once heard this saying: "Failure is the best teacher." I feel that it was true in this moment.

[@novarek9337]

Would be true if Sabine showed the slighlest sign of remorse of her action, could have been an incredebly good character developement actually, by putting on her shoulder such feeling of guilt that she is fully responssible of, but nop, YOLO she don't give a f**k, and worst is that YOLO Ahsoka don't give a f**k either now and don't even want to show Sabine why she fuck*d up the entire galaxy that hard...

[@claireheideman21]

I believe that Anakin the Force Balancer watches over Asoka like a father/master. And he has more wisdom to pass on. Ahsoka accepts the will of the force in keeping her and Sabine in a distant galaxy.

[@jayo1212]

I like to think when Ezra meets Luke, he relays how he is upset Ahsoka and Sabine had to be left in the distant galaxy, but Luke assures him they will find a way back.

[@pop-culturecinephile8144]

He knows she hasn’t given up. The battle might be over, but the conflict still goes

[@josephnichols5308]

He’s become powerful enough to guide the ones he love and save them should they fail. It’s all he wanted and it’s bittersweet because all he wanted was to save padme

[@rainbowquartz9513]

I think in the end, anakin was proud of ahsoka because she won’t let her down.

[@silversurfer8818]

Anakin: I have become so powerful, i can recreate my physical body!

[@Brandon_501]

AND save those he loves from dying! :)

[@JeremyB8419]

In Rebels, Palpatine says that whoever controls the World Between Worlds will have all power in existence. So, yeah, Anakin can pretty much do whatever he wants now lol

[@swisswinds3685]

Bro is literally gonna try to escape like the son by doing tht

[@DrSpaceCapeTV]

I said in my reaction that he looks somber. I don't think he's smiling. He looks worried for Ahsoka.

[@zacharygeertruida5542]

Anakin is now a Mortis god , The Father to be exact.

[@Dwendele]

OR..... Anakin, The Chosen One, saw the battle and PULLED her into the WBW's before she died. Much like Ezra did.

[@orionfettes5501]

Because in Anakin's mind ahsoka didn't fail and he couldn't be more proud of his former Padawan

[@js7un165]

She could ask him, "Is that a light saber in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?"

[@machinimaaquinix3178]

I'm just so happy Anakin's back and we get to see his journey as the chosen one being finally shown. Disney needs to keep on this path and ensure that his story is finally finished properly along with Luke and Leia. That sequel trilogy was such trash.

[@kseniaboytseva4714]

Yes, it would not be bad if somebody someone who really loves Star Wars once implements Lucas's unfinished new trilogy about the Skywalker family, new worlds, and Midichlorians. Or at least in the serial format assembling a suitable team, he complete the story after episode 6, where the arches of Luke and his descendants should be. I completely agree with you about the quality of episodes the removed Darth Mouse.

[@Ry-Zilla86]

Success is achieved through failure. If you've never failed it means you never tried.

[@davidmacy411]

If Ashoka did die, it makes sense because it continues the Gandalf trend for her that Filoni referred to regarding her journey. Gandalf more or less dies against the Balrog but is brought back as the White.

[@HossBlacksilver]

He became so powerful that he could prevent those he cared about from dying. Is it possible to learn this power? Beats me, ask Anakin.

[@tjk-goix8513]

So Ashoka died three times in Star Wars canon

[@daviddickinson6346]

@@tjk-goix8513 no, once

[@evilmasterskywalker]

Gandolf being an Istari, along with the other Istar, and Balrogs, were Maiar. The order of the Wizards were sent to middle earth, not with all of their powers. After being sent back Gandolf was sent with more of his powers and Sarumon was stripped of his. Sauron and many other Maiar left with Melkor and didnt follow the same rules.

[@W1ckedshort]

That was not a normal smile. That was a man trying to smile even though he's about to weep. Ahsoka is about to go through something truly horrible and Anakin can't do a damned thing about it. He knows what's coming and what Ahsoka has to do.

[@snoopyzzz2388]

He is smiing because it's not over yet.

[@QuickDeath02]

Anakin was always proud of Ahsoka Ahsoka stuck with him when she found him again as Vader & he never gave up on her when she was accused of bombing the Jedi

[@JRM92B]

Anakin smiling could mean that despite knowing Ahsoka lost a battle, she didn’t give up yet and her story isn’t over. Being a forceghost in world between world could give him access to all key moments of Ahsoka’s life and he might’ve seen her win in the end so knowing that he can still smile watching her being stuck in another galaxy

[@JRM92B]

Basically Anakin is watching Ahsoka’s life from wbw and whenever he feel that Ahsoka could need advices he will intervene like he did when she lost to Baylan

[@greattribulation1388]

Why does people think she failed. She didn’t. She accomplished what she needed to.

[@novarek9337]

She failed, both as a Master and as a Jedi.

[@kennethnystrom593]

Ahsoka are rejoined with her Padawan.

[@acenem]

Because the skeleton crew at this time goes through a vortex and Ahsoka will help bring them back.

[@nikolaipodkidysh]

Is the wor at war?

[@bjorn-adilsamni9818]

I believe anakin helped sabine in the end because i still cant figure how sabine did that force push

[@haroldchase4120]

He smiling because they will join him soon

[@eethkoth4872]

😂

[@mcgoogle4812]

Smiling because he realises the ineptness of the jedi and the republic...also the roundabout way in which the empire goes about business...2 tie fighters to take out a ship... i mean if anyone had brains they could rule...now Anakin is dead he just realised...man...if only i didnt jump off the lava float i couldve force pulled obi wan into the lava...then he wouldnt have had the high ground

[@kevin8639]

Hes like this where the fun begins

[@nathanoutdoors7981]

Tot the dog and the cat I want to see them play like most animals do

[@shannonwoodcock1035]

For a deep thinker like Thrawn, his worst enemy is unpredictability and Ezra is that. Ahsoka is tied to Aberoth and that is where Skoll is headed so she is where she needs to be.

[@Yoshmaan]

Without watching the video, I take it as: Ahsoka failed in her Mission to get back "home", but is facing this "exile" side by side with Sabine and training her. Incorperating what Anakin and herself were in clone wars etc. A team which makes the best out of every situation they are in. Thats why I think Anakin smiled. And they are on a planet which is way closer to the force itself (The Father, the Sister, the Brother) and probably Abeloth herself isnt far... So basically the planet is a beacon of the Force, which makes it easier for Anakin to actually be a force ghost there.

[@POLARIS2]

Is it me or do you see 2 figures above ahsokas right shoulder at the 7 minute mark?

[@ItzSam._.324]

I think he was just happy that she was all right

[@grandmyotismon]

Or maybe you are reaching? Ocaums razer or however thats spelt,the simplest answer is almost always the correct one. She was dragged into the wbw before dying.

[@drasvader1]

Definitely reaching

[@nathanoutdoors7981]

I don’t know bro but I know one thing for dog has a name I repeat the dog has a name his name is tot I repeat his name is tot

[@veraxionbyrne7839]

He can even keep the ones he love from dying.

[@DarthTrishalla]

I’m happy last time we saw a force ghost of Anakin it was 1983😂

[@webstersempire]

Because they wanted the audience to feel good although in direct conflict with the end of the story. The illogic of Disney SW writing 😅

[@thomasskywalker8893]

Maybe Anakin gave Sabine force powers? Would it be too crazy?

[@Xyma-YT]

i think because she started to Believe and also a matter of a "need" that she finally used The Force / Force Powers..

[@JeremyB8419]

Thrawn is concerned with an intergalactic war. That means there’s an intergalactic war out there. Makes whatever happens with the First Order or whatever pretty worthless.

[@polyestermammoth740]

Was he ever out of Star Wars canon?

[@ShoddyLegion]

No

[@ironfist7789]

He learned to give up his attachments and became one with the force, but he doesn't have to actually give up his attachments because all are one with the force in the end.

[@LuoSon312_G8]

it looks more like it was a smile of pity, that he's inadvertently condemned them to an impossible trial that thwy may not succeed.

[@themonkster333]

No force welder has ever died from falling so why would anyone think she did?

[@dred9174]

She didn't fall she was knocked over forcefully big difference.

[@jesse6096]

Mace windu however....

[@aliejlali5145]

awesome video. loved it

[@mercury13]

More likely Anakin pulled her into the world between worlds before she died and obie one taught Anakin before he died after turning to the light side on death star 2.

[@ChristianGabino]

*Ahsoka Tano* will return. 💫

[@Xyma-YT]

Ahsoka Lost that specific fight because she burnt her hand touching the map! if she would not have done that, i think it would have went / gone differently..

[@MarcSiqueira]

Even Baylan says kinda of implies that, when she grabs the map and burns her hand, he says that it was a unwise decision...But i believe there was more to it than just that. Ahsoka isnt so used to give in to her rage like baylan probably is as he uses the dark side too, so when shin shows up and she assumes that shin had killed sabine, Ahsoka gets angry gives in to her rage and force pushes Shin into the rock, that made Baylan get angry and powerup + threw herself out of balance.

[@thomasfonager6986]

She didn't fail. She's right where she's supposed to be!

[@user-xn2ux4em3t]

Anakin fans are definitely going to use this🙂

[@MrTimboman14]

"There Is Only Providence"

[@infinati]

Anakin is smiling because his character is being rewritten into Star Wars

[@1977rodi]

What if Anakin Skywalker is the intense powers Baylon was feeling? We are finally going to understand what's the meaning of the chosen one and how the prophecy works for the galaxy.

[@marktorch9079]

While I do agree with almost everything you said in how love enables the transition. In the the world between worlds (which is also different in the sense that he's a solid entity you can interact with) but he did tap into the dark side qualities which indicates that after death he held on to the traits of both the light and dark side of the force, My question then, is he an exception because he's the chosen one>

[@kseniaboytseva4714]

From a certain point of view. On Mortis, the Keeper of the Balance told Enakin that there was no balance between the dark and the light side in him and, after training, offered to become a new Father because he has the property of learning how to control both sides, since Anakin was created by a force that, in turn, is not divided into light and darkness, unlike the Jedi and Sith. And unites them. In particular, because he is the chosen one and his fate was predetermined from birth.

[@AGBULLIT]

Ashoka did not fail. She is where she is supposed to be. She just took an unexpected detour on her journey to succeed.

[@Ittiz]

I'm pretty sure he was able to retain his memories ect... because he was a Mortis god.

[@rafaelonegron]

Kenobi and Yoda left their robes and the lightsaber behind tho. This is different. I feel Anakin interfered in her death.

[@12bigredd]

Ahsoka and Her Apprentice are where they need to be...... so for that matter is Ezra........... these Jedi are trying to actually listen to the Force, if you ask me its was that Qui Ghon Gin that strarted it!!! all that Livin Force stuff.... turns out there might be some truth to it after all....... and no one has failed yet, espeacilly not Ahsoka.... Trust in the Force.......

[@pnwprospecting]

I believe he is smiling because she is where she needs to be they sent Ezra back to fight against thrown and she needs to be there to stop whatever force is on the planet

[@45580677]

At least she alive and the battle lost the war goes on

[@dagothur5595]

Can I be a space fascist I promise I'd look good in the uniform. Pretty please😂

[@pezzetinosharkmeister9505]

brilliant!

[@devaughnjohnson]

Thrawn isn't the threat. Abeloth is the real threat to the Galaxy that Ahsoka & Sabine need to stop.

[@EgoChip]

It's pure speculation. We don't know what Dave has planned.

[@gabrielcarrasco9078]

How in the world is Asohka and Sabine supposed to stop Abeloth. It would truly send people over the edge. Sabine a girl who couldnt use the force to now being able to fight Abeloth. Asohka while strong isnt nearly as powerful as Luke supposedly beating Abeloth when Luke needed help from Krayt?

[@RobertSays]

Who’s to say that there isn’t going to be 2 separate story arcs? One in the old galaxy linked up with Mandalorian and thrawn, another in this new galaxy with Abeloth. Luke will eventually find his way to the new galaxy with Ezra to help with Abeloth and it will be an epic showdown with Anakins force ghost. Plenty of story telling, just needs good execution.

[@beardedpanda5086]

I don’t get how the light side can become force ghosts because of love. They are all about detachment. What do they know about love?

[@briantrent1155]

Sabine: i am so powerful, i can learn how to use the force even if I don’t have force powers!

[@TheNickHilbert]

If you read comics and novels in the EU, you’ll find almost all recurring characters are force sensitive to some degree. Makes the plot armor seem a little lighter 😂

[@michaeltremblay879]

He’s smiling because no one failed more than him and he understands that you need to fail to become the best Jedi you can be

[@G1Arduo]

I actually found the ghost's expression to be off. Somewhat leaning on the creepy side. And the delayed smile looks a bit awkward.

[@jonathansmith6953]

Because Asoka didn't fail. She was meant to stay behind to deal with the new grave threat that is gonna be released

[@thorsmith5946]

Ahsoka succumbed to Baylan.

[@stoicfinn5999]

Or Ahsoka drowned and Anakin did not want her to drown so he told her to fight

[@afrinaut3094]

Ahsoka didn’t “fail”. She made a choice to have faith in the Force & to not choose between her attachments & her duty to the “greater good”. To choose both. That was the Jedi’s biggest failure, thinking that emotions, love & attachments were weakness (apart from using literally force-sensitive child-soldiers). Ahsoka has faith that Thrawn will be stopped, if not by her directly then by her choices like saving Ezra. Ezra is home & we the audience know that Baylan is possibly contacting somebody far far far worse than the Emperor on that planet. Ahsoka doesn’t abandon her found-family & has faith. Ahsoka is not only Anakin’s apprentice, his legacy in a better Jedi way, but she is also “snips” his little sister. Anakin’s sprit will never feel guilty or week for loving & feeling attachment to those he cares for ever again. Free of the spiritually corrupted Jedi Order of the era & the greed/evil of the Sith way.

[@lorenzog7811]

Because it's a filoni member berry. That is all

[@jakstorm3180]

They were meant to be stranded thats why..

[@eclairfarron7366]

I don't believe that she was in the World between Worlds. It looks like that but it is just a manifestation of the Force. As we have seen in movies and games, the caves of the Dark Force that serve as trails. So, Ahsoka was in a sort of cave but probably manifested and guided by the Light Force.

[@jonahbutterfield5792]

well, duh, Thrawn was Vaders "buddy". lol But nah, I took it as she is where she needs to be and her story is only getting started. Trust the force can handle the other galaxy.

[@shaunrichardson9638]

So could she see him or not

[@rexrockefella4586]

Baylan vs Vader: Baylan cuts through 2-3 storm troopers with heavy slices “Impressive” Vader Breaks force barrier + Force Choke Vader wins

[@fearthebeardfootballchanne2505]

She isn't glowing tho... Anakin pulled her into the world between worlds and essentially gave her a second chance. When he says live or die, it means she can choose to continue to go through the motions like she had been or live again as she was prior to all she has endured. Star wars is never this black and white they're a lot of cloak and dagger, there is always inner meaning to everything they do... At least in the filoni-verse.

[@kingjungsu]

Because he hates Ashoka.

[@youngmoneyclutch]

Vader would smoke Baylan

[@donspider1]

He's smiling cause he knows the show is sh*t😂

[@sarys73]

No Ahsoka didn't die, dematerialize, and then end up in the WbW. She was pulled there by Ani just like Ezra when in the WbW

[@DefecTec]

It makes no sense that Anakin didn’t tell Luke or Ahsoka about Exegol even with contact, bad writing

[@user-mv3qm4qh8l]

He laughed because every time Disney makes a new star wars bs thingy the prequels get more memorable.

[@jeremye.2889]

sooo anakin looks over ashoka more than his own family thats cool...not like luke is trying to rebuild the order right now and would be a better choice to counter thrawn...like he did in legends but nah..and he shows up to ashoka more than he ever did for luke, leia, and ben...and sorta just let his family line die....that's cool I guess. the advice he gave her could've been better used with luke than her and you know tell Ben he's being manipulated by palps...god everything disney does with star wars sucks so bad.

[@codyespey9761]

I think ahsokas visit to the world between worlds was a force vision. Just too much stuff happened that the location has not been shown to do. For starters, why would she appear in the world between world in the first place? Are you telling me she only had to fall into the water and poof? She's there? Then why was the entrance on lothal so complexly hidden? It was shown to have doorways that lead to points and places in time. Okay, then why was ahsoka bouncing from battle to battle without the gateways? Where are the doorways even? Why is anakin, a dead person, physically present here? Someone would have had to be here, pull him out of time before he was vader, and then leave him there. And his kyber crystal changing colors on a dime seems a little odd too. The only thing I can think of that goes against this is Jacen hearing the battle, but that can just be force shenanigans

[@justinshewell8857]

Definitely not a force vision, i think you're trying to read too far into this show. Not knowing what powers a particular location or being holds is part of the mysticism that holds any fiction together. Particularly Star Wars! Expecting something to be shown that you immediately comprehend, with earth human logic, is not something any person has ever enjoyed out of a TV show. You're quantifying the science of a fictional show to a point that theres no way anyone can have fun with it. . She was pulled into the world between worlds by anakin just like Ezra Bridger pulled her into before. Both were intentional but one was done by a living force being and one a deceased but still very active force being. There has been more than a single example of deceased force users living in the force after death... anakin, Yoda, qui gon and obi wan from what we've been shown. Let your imagination go, have some fun in a fantasy world

[@PathsUnwritten]

Smiling because she failed...because he's evil

[@SonicSatamAnimations]

Indeed.

[@TheAlexander707]

I hate to say it, I truly hate to say it because I've loved Star Wars for decades, still do, and always will, and I always had this hope that it might become great again, but like everything else in life, inevitably, Star Wars has succumbed to the law of diminishing returns 😢 With that, all that can be said, so that it will always be remembered as one of the greatest, if not the greatest cinema stories of all time, there is just one more thing to say... LONG LIVE STAR WARS!

[@Xicor111]

heh, anakin knows that mf grandmaster luke skywalker is in the main universe so who cares if some blue goblin is gonna try to take over the galaxy.

[@MThomas92]

this also means that vader is more powerful than ever. meaning he is in on the plan to revive palpatine

[@Xyma-YT]

???

[@SonicSatamAnimations]

No, because not only did BECOMING a force ghost require love, but STAYING a force ghost also requires undying love. Therefor, anakin will remain a Jedi/good during his time as a force ghost.

[@rojaws1183]

Vader died on the second Death Star. This is Anakin who know that Palpatine is his enemy.

[@MThomas92]

@@rojaws1183 incorrect. Vader was always a part of who skywalker is, a being cannot seperate the two part of the self. maintaining life essence and maifesting a physical presence would require master over both sides of the ego. the force and starwars as a whole are esoteric and cannot simply be looked at from a surface level. good and evil are points of view which is what star wars has been trying to relay since its inception. the force is A-moral.

[@Renkencen]

Man you are milking this aren't you? You may aswell make a video on why Anakin ghost decide to visit Ahsoka more than Luke or why Admiral Thrawn white suit stayed so clean despite spending years on a remote planet?!?

[@novarek9337]

Because he is pride that Ahsoka approve the action of Sabine which have put the ENTIRE galaxy in critical danger, Anakin would had liked that his master Obi-wan support his own choice when he decided to condemned the entire galaxy to save just one persone for his own personal emotional need like Sabine did. ironic comment but that let you an idea why a conssider Ahsoka show as the worst depiction of what is a Jedi...

[@TheNickHilbert]

Sequel Trilogy Luke is the worst depiction of a Jedi. And it’s not even close 😂

[@novarek9337]

@@TheNickHilbert GOD I almost forgot the sequel, but you know what? Luke cut himself from the Force to live as an hermit, does he was still a Jedi at this point? Beside he eventualy assumed his action, realised (too late) that the galaxy needed him and that he have abandonned them, and eventualy paid it with his life when he finaly decided to act to gain time for the resistance. I will be even more cynical, at least Ray had a slighly more solid reason to get force power, Sabine don't, not when the show spend its entire time to claim, repeat and show that Sabine was NOT Force sensitive, Ray was a mary sue (litteraly), and Sabine quite enter into the definition as well in the last episode. In short, I maintain what I said, Sabine is by far the worst depiction of a Jedi (and Ahsoka probably the worst depiction of a Master when she start to accept Sabine critical error). But well, at least we still have Andor for the good SW show, I will put my last hope on Andor season 2, that pretty much the only really good thing left at this point.

[@ArtByAhri]

he's smiling cause that lame disney show ended finally 😭
