I'm mad you guys didn't realize that Anakin basically taught Ahsoka for years how to defeat CLONE TROOPERS. She aged throughout this short. So when you get to Clone Wars Season 7 and Order 66 starts, she finds herself in the exact same training situation, but this time it's 'life and death' like Anakin told her years ago. Her training against Clone Troopers is why and how she survived Order 66.

[@rushstormempire1]

The lesson: If she can survive against tougher opponents then it would be easier to handle the droid army. It also explains why she was the only Jedi that was actually prepared for order 66

[@Mavis-Tanya]

Regardless of him not teaching her a lesson, his training does ensure she survives order 66. Her moves at the end show the way and the reason why she survives (compare those two scenes :) )

[@consumeandobey5107]

he did but they were not listening he was telling her to focus on their trigger reactions and the flow of combat but I can tell they come from the soft world of today not the world where champions are made which is discipline and pain.

[@burakyagz5886]

I really am surprised that you didn't like episode 5 as much because it's probably my favourite Ahsoka episode in this i love that Anakin unknowingly trained her for the order 66 and that training he pushed so hard on Ahsoka saved her life

[@consumeandobey5107]

I think they are soft and dont understand what it takes to be a champion fighter=you need discipline and they didnt noticce the time jump where she was obviously learning from Anakin off screen

[@burakyagz5886]

@@consumeandobey5107 yeah i agree

[@jatilq]

Guess they didn't watch the final episodes of Clone Wars. Without this training Ashoka would've died. This is a very nice callback. That room on the table where she was trying not to kill any Clones.

[@peterparker5545]

U guys actually missed the whole point of this episode..... the fact that anakin forced her to train this way to protect herself, came back to help her during order 66 when he turned to the darkside. if he didn't do that, she would be like almost all of the jedi's that died during the purge simply because nobody trained against soldiers...only against droids.

[@jtmaxwell]

I freaking LOVED episode 5! Sometimes the lesson isn't about correction, it's about repetition. The exercise was to hone her instincts and reaction time. The lesson comes through the doing. It reminded me of old kung fu stories ("Why do we punch the sand?"), particularly the homage to them in Kill Bill with Pai-Mei teaching Beatrix the one inch punch by having her do it over and over. Obviously Sky Guy has more affection for Snips as a student and friend, as evidenced by his speech to her about teaching her to protect herself. But the structure is much the same. We see her struggle, we see her improve, we see she continues to willingly test herself as time progresses (down time between missions? Let's get in some reps trying not to get stunned!), and then we see what it was all for. The impossible test preparing her for the impossible battle. The moment I realized where/when they were in the final scene, the entire episode took on an air of doomed inevitability (my heart was NOT prepared for the sudden feels punch of having to relive that scene!). I absolutely loved it! Episode 6 was fantastic as well. "She was my friend" broke my damn heart. Then leaning into the old samurai/western trope of the fighter in hiding, trying to run from who they are, but the past is never too far behind (the past this time taking the form of Inquisitor Clancy Brown, who continues to give Phil LaMarr a run for his money as VO MVP in this galaxy!). I'm beginning to think the concept of "canon" in books and comics is a little loose, between the differences we see in episode 6 compared to the Ahsoka novel and the opening of Bad Batch compared to what we see in the Kanan comic (and loved seeing Lil Caleb Dume in episode 5!). Like, the shows and movies are sort of historical recordings of events as they occurred, but the books and comics are more like a version being told from memory or handed down through oral tradition or something where the details get a little skewed but the events still occurred in broad strokes. Until eventually every tale in the galaxy is just Rashomoned away. ;)

[@yeeticus7206]

I think you missed the point of episode 5. It’s literally called practice makes perfect. The clones are much harder to predict than any training droid because they’re organic beings so you need to be stronger in the force for your reflexes to defeat them. Like obi wan tells Luke in A New Hope, it’s like you can see something before it happens. Also you’ll notice during her practice she perfects moves (like the spin she does) that she eventually uses in order 66 to survive when she’s surrounded in the EXACT same situation. The point of the episode is, on the surface, practice makes perfect. But deeper it shows us how anakin saved ahsoka from order 66, he trained her specifically for an order 66 like event without even realising it. This is how she survived

[@coltbaudoux4466]

the point of that first one was that anakin was kinda teaching her how to survive order 66 when rex turns on her so she knew what to do

[@ScreamPrincess]

I loved episode 5 lol Anakin prepared her for order 66 without knowing

[@Angel-pk3mp]

I do wanna say, in defense of episode 5. Ashoka survived that episode due TO anakin. If she never got that training, she would have died like many of the jedi. None were prepared for the clones turning. They were only trained against droids. Droids are predictable, you can figure out their moves pretty easily. They don't know HOW to be random. Anakin knew this was nothing for her (especially since she was part of a war. Droids were literally NOTHING to her). Yet, she got her ass kicked again and again from the clones. So that last episode? Order 66? The jedi died because of Anakin Skywalker, but Ashoka also lived because of him. Anakin was harsh, cause he wanted her to be prepared for anything. Edit: Forgot to mention Ignore if you haven't seen the Dooku Episode But Dooku mentions that the jedi can't sense something coming if its around someone they trust. Through this training, Ashoka learns to keep her awareness of the clones as well! She was able to sense their turn, unlike many of the jedi who realized way to late.

[@Angel-pk3mp]

But great reaction! Love watching your thoughts on things! I may also have bias to this episode cause its one of my favorites and I love Anakin Skywalker lol

[@ricitizen]

Ahsoka is a Jedi Knight and Master in deeds and experience, if not in name. She has been trained since almost before she could walk. She was brought in as a youngling by Jedi Master Plo Koon and assigned by Grand Master Yoda as a Padawan learner to Anakin Skywalker. Her training and experience were forged during the Clone Wars, and she fought in its most significant battles. In addition to being taught and mentored by the greatest Knights and Masters of the Jedi, she was a commander in the Grand Army of the Republic and served with Clone Captain Rex of the 501st Legion. She fought in, out, and behind enemy lines throughout the war. By the time of her match with this puny Inquisitor, she had already fought in the Siege of Mandalore against Darth Maul, who uses a double-bladed lightsaber. She is one of the last surviving Jedi Knights at this time. She could have force-choked him out and crushed him instantly if she wanted. It was not a contest, nor should it have been.

[@Luciphell]

Thank you for this. So sick of idiots raising their eyebrows at how easily Ahsoka handles this little force user. No amount of scary drip nor fires in the background can give this inquisitor the same amount of training and experience she has at this time.

[@moriquendi32]

Episode 5 might have been my favorite as well. The training is pretty explicitly linked (even by very specific moves) to how Ahsoka survived Order 66.

[@adamplatt3174]

The start of the episode 5 is early in the clone wars as the clones are in generation 1 armour. It does a time jump when they're on the ship as the clones are in different armour and Ashoka has solidified what form she primarily uses. What the 5th episode hammered home is that the other jedi weren't prepared for order 66. Anakin through his harsh lessons made it possible to survive.

[@matthewkalasky2891]

3:17 The Temple also shows up VERY briefly in the updated versions of Return of The Jedi, at the very end during the celebration of the defeat of the Empire.

[@primal1233]

Ashoka is a badass, all it takes is one strike and she's able to kill an Inquisitor, she is a badass there's no denying that fact!!!!!

[@markmelanson5905]

You guys are way off base on episode 5….it completely matters, none of the Jedi that trained the way they did survived Order 66, Ashoka only survived because of this specific training.

[@ryanlittle5919]

Discipline. Discipline was the point. That, and the importance of facing challenges with determination and endurance... Without developing *that* drill-and running it, over and over again, for years-she likely would not have survived order 66.

[@justindavis5910]

Episode 5 and a Akakins trial taught Ahsoka about hard work and the dangers of complacency. The episode starts with a test that doesn’t actually challenge her and she says “it’s what every Jedi does” in the original test. The same Jedi whose complacency got them wiped out. Yes anakin did constantly tell her how to improve but failure is sometimes the best teacher. Trial and error forced her to learn how to adapt and teach herself. After lots of failure and improvements we get the time skip and Rex compliments her improvement but she knew she could do better and did. You don’t get better by doing what you can but by doing what you can’t right now. Was Anakin hard on her? Yes. But it equipped her with the tools to become one of the greatest force users of her time and go on to help save many more people than the average Jedi.

[@bemasaberwyn55]

Exactly. Luke failing to lift the X-wing taught him how to trust in the Force. Luke losing to Vader taught him how close he came to becoming like Anakin. Anakin failing to beat Obi-Wan on Mustafar taught him how to become a better duelist.

[@kitchenmom]

Episode 5 is important. He gave her what she needed to survive order 66. She told him that she was as good as all the Jedi, and he told her it was not enough, and he was right. All the Jedi that had the “basic” training were killed.

[@MrCarloArellano]

He did teach her "read the clone's intention"

[@keanonkerr9265]

Ep4 is by far the greatest episode of all 6. Seeing the battle for his soul after he loses qui gon just adds so much meat to his character. The dooku episode were 10x more substancial than the ahsoka episodes.

[@TheRatsCast]

Did you guys miss Obi-wan saying to Anakin; the same line Anakin says to Ahsoka? Obi-wan talks Anakin; 'You're just right on time', which then Anakin says, "I thought I was late'. Then Obi-wan says; 'That's what I meant'. He was just copying his master.

[@EdgarDiaz-pt4qx]

Y’all need to start paying attention to the details of the show y’all watch 😂 Ani literally says the point of his training directly to Snips lol. Also, Snips is a clue to where we are on the chronological timeline which I really hope y’all can figure out after that hint…

[@raylenerobin]

You guys didnt understand this Anakin Ahsoka training that is very essential to order 66. So much feels. The best episode of tales of the jedi.

[@davidstrange2482]

Also That Training is like Practicing Guitar. If you Want to be great you Do the Same leads over and over till it's Muscle Memory. Martial Skill Same thing. Practice and Practice till you can do this In your Sleep. lol

[@Marius229]

i'm guessing neither of you played sports...but repetition is very much a part of practice. it's about building muscle memory and sharpening your reflexes.

[@jediclonekag13]

18:37-18:55 Your reaction to this brief duel between Ahsoka Tano and this Inquisitor was almost just like mine when I saw this. Between these two Ahsoka episodes, Episode 5 is definitely my favorite because her training explains how she was able to survive Order 66. Are you two going to react to the Dooku episodes next?

[@davidstrange2482]

I Believe the First Part Were she is Training was Somewhere Between the Clone Wars Animated Movie (2008) And Season 1 . In that Movie Anakin was not at all digging His ''New apprentice It Really took the First 2 Season Were He was not So stand off -ish and or annoyed WITH Ahsoka. ( And the Animated Clone wars Seasons 1-5 For the Most part are Arcs in the ''Clone Wars'' But some arcs are pre or Post of the Last arc ...Meaning you can watch a 4-5 episode arc and the Next arc could be a year before or after the last arc. it jumps around a lot!)...And Anakin would teach with His actions more than instructions. And the Moment She Has her Dual Saber's is a time Jumper. ( Meaning she may have Done this Training Tough the Years. ) And it Seems as Ahsoka Having a Flash Back as they Walked to the Hanger Bay. Close to the End of the Last Episode of season 7. ( I have watched that Series a Dozen Time's Season 1-7 and Rebels. I do not have Saber's but i am A huge Ahsoka Fan. I think this would have Much More interest if and when you watch All the Clone Wars ( Maybe Rebels After The end of season 2 of Rebels. And she...Well wont spoil that)

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

The training is meant to be during the small time-jump in Season 3.

[@ronchess8813]

Get a clue Anakins training actually saves Ashokas life during order 66 My daughter and i Love it.HELLO

[@Blinkptx]

She survived order 66 because of the training Anakin put her through....that's the point.

[@shellysedai1930]

hi guys. I grew up on a ranch and we also grew our own hay on some of our back pastures. A "small" square bale of hay is a 50 pound bale. If she had a whole wagon fall on her, that would have been enough to kill her (or hurt her very badly). Now, this is Star Wars, and who's to say that their bales of hay are like ours. But...at least you can get an idea of where the animators/story writers were coming from and their thought processes.

[@dcard708]

Missed the entire reasoning behind them showing what happens in episode 5 lol 🤦🏽‍♀️

[@Citizen88020120820]

The point of episode 5 is to use the force to predict actions of others attacking her and it saved her from Order 66

[@NerdyNightly]

Look I totally get that, but we've already seen Ahsoka learn that lesson over the 7 seasons of Clone Wars. It's not a bad short by any means, but in my opinion it doesn't add anything new to her story.

[@Citizen88020120820]

@Nerdy Nightly Fair but I also think these are designed for people who didnt watch Clone Wars or read books too

[@willfanofmanyii3751]

@@NerdyNightly Ahsoka spent the first year of the war facing droids, so she did not learn that lesson. It's exactly why Ahsoka become so formidable during the second year, as unlike others, she had been practicing against real opponents.

[@jonathanradut2595]

Anakin stated why he wanted her to train with actual people and not droids.

[@Shiva182Katarina]

I would say the first part is during season 1 or 2 of Clone Wars, since she doesn't have the double lightsabers yet though she does't have the outfit of Ashoka in season 1. The second part is during season 4 or 5

ummm anakin did say to her she should feel the troopers pulling the trigger before they actually do it.. so she did learn that she has to concentrate more... and eventually she got better with experience..

[@clasher138]

Anakin taught her to be overpowered that way she could overcome any difficult obstacles. That's why she did so well against Maul and the Clones in the final episodes of the clone wars

18:47 😂🤣

[@Luciphell]

Episode 5 just really went over your heads there, didn't it? lol Otherwise, good reaction!

[@Commander-vf1lk]

“Practice makes perfect” which is each & every one of us does. How can you be good at anything without practice? That’s like saying I know how to fire a gun but lack the knowledge & skills to make yourself good at it. Breathing control, recoil control, positioning stance, weapon maintenance, etc. There’s more to it than just simply pulling the trigger. It can be simple as how do you know which buttons on a controller will allow to do what action? Simple, keep practicing by playing the game & you’ll learn them to the point where you don’t look at your controller anymore to which button does what. Imagine you as a civilian fighting a soldier in hand to hand combat. You’ll lose in matter of seconds cuz you don’t have the mind of a soldier. They know where your weak points are & know how to fight than just simply punching. Lastly, how can you do better if you don’t challenge yourself? The main is point is to adapt in order to survive. Life is never easy & not everything in life will go accordingly as planned. Especially if it’s a life & death situation. You only have 1 life. If you care about not dying then you need to challenge yourself rather than simply do what everyone does is easy.

[@jmhaces]

The start of Ep 5 is early in their relationship. Ahsoka is young and only carries a single lightsaber, and Anakin and Obi-Wan are wearing armor. Anakin's hair is kind of short and Obi-Wan has a mullet. That's early Clone Wars, no question.

[@jaymurray6051]

[@aaronboone8097]

You guys were so off on what the episode was its hard to watch. The training Anakin put her through was to make her better than other Jedi. The Droid test weren't hard enough. And it ultimately saved her life. The other jedi weren't training against the clones so that's why when Order 66 happened 99% of them died. Ahsoka fought hundreds of clones and survived because of this training. This was the best episode of the 6 imo.

There's no advise for ep 5 from Ani since it was a drill. Theres no other way but to repeat the drill again and again until your mind and body gets used to the speed.

[@jimandrews89]

It is so frustrating to watch the depth of the meaning behind episode 5 go directly over their heads... All of the other Jedi, including masters on the high council, fell to their clones within a matter of seconds. None of them thought they would need to battle anyone or anything as good as their clones. It's just another way in which the Jedi became complacent and weak. This whole 6 episode arc covers two former Jedi who become disillusioned with the order. That's the overall theme here. Anakin sees that these droid tests as complacency and strives to make his apprentice better than what he sees as a low bar. In the end, she can walk out against hundreds of clones knowing she can pretect Rex and herself because of all these training sessions. Anakin literally saved her from Order 66 by making her better than all the other Jedi.

[@raz644]

Im lost...how could you not understand that repetition and practice makes perfect? Anakin saved Ahsoka from order 66 by pushing her to be better than most Jedi. Its training pure and simple.

[@marcofabianhernandezsantos2697]

Episode five was to show us how Ashoka I survive, as well as seeing that friendship and the similarity between master and apprentice. And the truth is very funny, you are a fan of Star Wars, if you could not see more of the greatness of episode five, then no you're such a fan, but well if you don't like me that's fine, but it's really disappointing that they didn't see it

It takes place over the course of the Clone Wars. Both Anakin and Ahsoka age up between when the training starts and when the last training scene is shown. That training is specifically why she survives Order 66. The last scene of Episode 5 is directly from the final episode of Clone Wars season 7.

There was a portion of the fandom that called her a mary sue. They then show you a 10 minute short of Anakin training her, which indirectly caused her to survive order 66. This series is beneficial to those who have seen all of CW. Anakin and Ahsoka's relationship is my favorite, and to see a mediocore channel trash it just puts a bad taste in your mouth. Also the eye roll every time Denji talks about boobs in chainsaw is just annoying at this point.
