"Incorrect," "You lack conviction." Absolutely terrifying the way Hayden delivered those lines. I swear he sounded robotic, like sound editors put a robotic voice on him. Great sounds on this episode as well. He's the GOAT of Star Wars. He gets Anakin, he understand the character. I love how quickly he changed his tone of voice, only he can do that. This proves that this is Anakin. Rosario's facial acting was great you can see her fear, like please no not again. Hes forcing Ahsoka to relive her trauma, her failures, and her ultimate fear of Vader. He probably didn't want to go Vader, but Ahsoka wasn't getting the lesson. Let go of the past, learn from it, that it was never her fault, and get stronger.

[@zeratai2465]

My take on this scene is that he tried to guide her with a Jedi-styled lesson, but failed, so he switched to a Sith-styled lesson by focusing on her fear. Either let go of it(Light Side), or embrace it and become stronger(Dark Side). The choice was hers, and in the end she did a bit of both.

[@TyDreacon]

I'd say he looks even better here than the prequels. Just check the footwork alone: compare how he stands versus Dawson or even the prequels. The prequels and Dawson are light-footed with a lot of tippy-tappy adjustments and shoulder-width stances. He's constantly got one foot forward, taking dedicated steps with a solid stance throughout.

Just the Vader breathing is such chills and iconic. Crazy

[@DMZ1080]

"You lack conviction." The rise of Anakins voice over Vaders muffle is heard, rather than the other way around back in Rebels.

[@Near310]

I have to say that of all the actors who have wield a lightsaber in live action Hayden is the most enjoyable to watch. He’s got the right stance, perfect strikes, and coolest moves.

[@michaelcharlesthearchangel]

Beautiful and incredible at the same time. Seeing the Clone Wars in live action, outstanding 👏.

[@IsaiahAyala20]

I just love how when Ahsoka at 1:28 goes for the head Anakin don't even flinch.

[@bradleyaustinjr.2253]

I noticed this while watching; if that was real the Darth Vader...she would've died already. There 2 times she would've died in a real fight against him. Anakin was holding back to teach her

[@chriswilliams3110]

He wasn't gonna kill her, but he got aggressive enough for her to snap outta her guilt and let go. This was like 5% of Knightfall Anakin she experienced. She would have easily been killed.

You edit some of the best clips from this era of Star Wars thank you for all the work you do editing these things

I didn’t even notice in the first watch there Ahsoka’s eyes turned yellow for a second. 2:22

[@king_jaq3210]

That walk is scary, and devious holy

[@Igfer]

That gesture when he says "Incorrect...", PERFECTION

[@Sudestbrewer]

Two observations: At the end of the duel, Anakin/Vader had her in the same defeated position Baylan had her before she fell off the cliff. In her duel with Baylan, she was demoralized by Sabine and gave up "Live or die." However, in her fight with Vader, Ahsoka fought back overpowering Vader and at 2:28 her eyes glowed red, but she spared him in the end teaching her that she can be a survivor without losing herself (throughout her appearances we begin to get hints that Ahsoka has strayed from the jedi path). I think in the rematch between Ahsoka and Baylan she's going to come out on top and spare him or make a noble sacrifice that proves she isn't like her Master whose legacy according to Baylan was "death and destruction." I think Baylan and Shin will turn to the light again by ep 8.

[@Hei_Darkfire]

Not gonna lie. This is the best moment in the Ahsoka series for me besides Thrawn's scenes. They really knew how to tease us wanting to see Anakin Skywalker in full mastery of both light and dark. And that moment when Anakin walks out of the past with that flash to Vader in the suit was awesome.

[@louiswindsor7334]

a detail i love is when he is vader his fighting style is much more agressive

[@Nerdrakere]

The breathing when they go back into the World, followed by the flashes of the suit and the Vader filter on Hayden’s voice… This episode was masterful

Kylo and Rey are crying... how 2 minutes of combat with Anakin & Ashoka from a mini series was able to do better than 6 hours of films. (2015-2019) even if it was just a nightmare of Ashoka !!

[@DANIELEALBANESI]

Hahaha, so true

[@Gadget-Walkmen]

*for Ahsoka.

[@Neurodivergent-j1f]

Something I couldn’t help but notice that connects to the Obi-Wan show. Both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka were wracked with guilt over what happened with Anakin. When Obi-Wan defeated Vader by cutting off half his mask, and he saw Anakin, he lets out a lament, and the response is: “ You didn’t kill Anakin Skywalker, I did.” Releasing his burden of guilt. Ahsoka defeats an unmasked Vader and sees Anakin one last time, proud of her. Releasing her burden of guilt. Vader/Anakin served a similar purpose in both stories.

[@The_Ex1Le]

I love the parallels in this scene to the Mortis arc. You will not survive if you remain his student. Then she has to finish her training with him or she won't live

[@sanban6766]

We love you Hayden ❤. Your performance here is breathtaking it really lives up to what everyone knew you could always do, had you been given stronger dialogue. Now that us prequel fans are all older we really get to see all the time, dedication, and hard work you’ve done as an actor. We see it in every move and step you take in these fight scenes and the performance when delivering these hard emotionally hitting lines. So again thank you so much for continuing your portrayal of Anakin/Vader despite not getting the love till later on. LOVE YOU SKYGUY! ❤

[@dcmc0521]

You can feel how dark, heavy, powerful and horrifying Anakin became to be with the sound of those footsteps.

[@YoutubeWriter._.]

Vader is already scary, but Anakin with SITH EYES and red lightsaber walking towards YOU 😨💀

[@avery6371]

It's badass to see how Vader's moves would look if he didn'y lose his limbs and didn't had the armor restraining his potential.

[@simonf9160]

Seeing a suitless Anakin wield a red lightsaber is everything I ever wanted

[@edwinvasquez2509]

The overlapping voice of Anakin and Vader. For me …. Chef’s kiss 😘 beautiful transition together

Dave solidifying Anakins Pre-Suit Vader stance from the Mustafar duel of turning his back on his opponent and drawing his saber twice in this episode is a really underrated detail

[@Nocc2991]

I love how he has a hint of matt lanter anakin in his performance.

[@alexbernhard5936]

Filoni was cooking with gas doing these scenes. Easily one of the best disney star wars scenes

[@juliandx8586]

Anakin is like what paul walker was to fast and furious. The movies couldn't be the same without him, it gives you that nostalgia and emotion
