Star Wars Ahsoka 1x5 "Part Five: Shadow Warrior" Reaction | Legends of Podcasting

[@Saphthings]

"One is never too old to learn, snips". To me, the lesson he was teaching her was the difference between surviving and living. It was the last lesson he learned, from Luke, when he was much older. From the moment he betrayed Ahsoka, she's been surviving, and her purpose, her conviction, gone. She's got no friends, family or companions around her, no attachment, just as a Jedi should be. But Ahsoka is no Jedi, and like Anakin said he's now passed on the final lesson he learned to her, even what he learned in his final moments. And then as he's smiling and remembering about his last lesson by Luke, she says, "I won't fight you" and he chuckles, because that's also what Luke said to him before that last fight. When his heart was full of rage and darkness that fight is what brought him back. So he turns on his lightsaber, and gets ready to pass that on to her. You live, truly live, or you die just like he did when he became Vader. At least that's my take on it.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

That is beautiful didn’t think of it like that but now you say it that’s all I am going to think when watching this episode again and again

[@dummre83]

Wow…..just wow. That’s what I was thinking but you said it so much better.

[@Saphthings]

Ming Qiu, who is the stunt co-ordinator, needs more attention for the absolutely BRILLIANT fight choreography she did for this show!

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Some of the best. I love how everyone has their own style especially hayden

[@skarletfenrir6979]

11:18 they have said multiple times in this show that anyone can use the Force(Yoda even kind of said it way back in the first episode of Clone Wars), Force Sensitives just have a MUCH easier time at using it. Its possible Kanan taught Hera how to sense things through the Force she clearly sensed his spirit in Rebels after all she even knew when his spirit left them. Also Ahsokas eyes turning red and gold when she brought Vaders saber closer to his throat and Vader looking concerned showing it was Anakin still in control not Vader was amazing

[@chazo1367]

It’s also a theory that Hera is able to hear the lightsabers because Jacen is projecting to her what he hears in the force, he isn’t trained so maybe he isn’t doing it consciously. The other theory is that she doesn’t hear it but is just trusting and listening to Jacen because he has abilities so just rolls with it. Filoni is keeping it ambiguous.

[@skarletfenrir6979]

@@chazo1367 they are both possible but honestly I doubt both since I feel like thats not something Jacen could do on accident and Hera seemed to react to the sabers but maybe I am wrong

A mind blowing episode.

[@collecter343]

It's hard to tell a characters age in animation just by looking at them. Here we see quite clearly that yes, Ahsoka was young as hell and should not have been fighting, let alone leading soldiers to war.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

The truths the truths. What an episode

[@mryoungandbrave1]

Clone Wars Ahsoka is played by the same actress who was the younger version of Gamora in Infinity War, She did so well. It was so great to see Anakin in his Jedi General Armor. If Hera is relieved of her command, I think she's going to help Leia start the Resistance against the First Order, just as she did with Mon Mothra and the Rebellion. Hayden was just as intimidating as he was during ROTS and the way he switched from Anakin to Vader and back to Anakin, this whole episode was amazing. The Maul Mandalorian looked amazing, as did Ahsoka the White and it was so good to see Rex. I still hope we get to see Old Man Rex. I'm guessing Hera is going to call in the cavalry. Zeb, Kallus, Rex, Carson, the Mandalorians and everyone else.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Yeah we saw that afterwards that it’s the same actress. 2 big franchises and I believe she’s in barbie as well.

I was never a fan of the Marrok theories, but I liked the fan theory that Anakin Skywalker has replaced The Father as the new Mortis God, representing balance in the Force since he spent half his life on the light side and the other in the dark side. Also the other Mandoverse show coming up is Skeleton Crew with Jude Law

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Thank you we new there was another one. I also like the idea he’s now he father and can dip into each side of the force when needed just like he did in this episode.

All things considered, they're awfully casual about the fact Hera's actions caused the death of 2 members of that X-Wing squad got fragged by the Ring 😅

All part of the job as an x wing pilot I guess

[@PeverellTheThird]

11:16 Yes she is. Have you seen her piloting skills? Every living being is Force sensitive to varying degrees.

[@neonhuntersynth]

We never got to see a fully "whole" dark side Anakin ... What a monster he would have been ...

[@AshHardman2011]

I'm about 70% sure that when Anakin slashes the floor beneath Ahsoka and says "I Haven't taught you everything yet" the line is being partially delivered by Matt Lanter; it sounds exactly like his voice.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

That would be of been awesome.

[@VanArchon]

In regards to Sabine and Shin's fight, I do believe that Sabine did use the Force because there are two audio cues. The first one is when Sabine threw her hand up there was a slight "woomf/boom" sound. I've noticed on rewatch/watching other people's reactions, that hearing it partly depended on your sound setup and equalizer mix. Then when Shin turned, she wasn't preparing for it, Sabine's hand had already come up and the audio cue played, which means that Shin had to have been reflexively flinching... except it was hard enough to make her lightsaber make its "swoosh" sound. Which is why I think Sabine did in fact give her a nudge and I think she used the Dark Side to do it, and that is how anything happened at all instead of nothing. She was in a moment of fear that Shin was about to kill her. Also I do believe that none of this would negate Shin's line about not having any power, because she doesn't.

[@anthonyyoutubefan7567]

"I could watch a whole series of this..." -- Stuart "You can...there are seven Seasons of it..." -- Ross 😊 Hard and fast? Not, slow and steady, or a combo of the two? Truly, a special episode in Ahsoka, and a unique chapter in STAR WARS (you're right, Stuart, theatrical quality). The highlights of this piece: The best rendering We've ever seen of Jedi (Master) Anakin Skywalker in both live-action and Animated form (without question, Hayden Christensen deserves an Emmy nomination/win for Best Special Guest Star In A Series)...and Jacen Syndulla displaying powerful, unique abilities (Reverse Force Echo, Force E.S.P., Force Transfer), at only age 10...Dave, Jon & Crew -- PROTECT THIS KID, at all costs. DON'T let him become a Jedi; but, make him a member of The Church Of The Force (w/ Lor San Tekka), an ace pilot, a member of The New Republic Auxiliary Militia, and a great ally of The Jedi (esp. Luke, Leia, Ahsoka, Grogu, Sabine, and Cal), and other Force-users and Force-sensitives in the galaxy. My theory: When Hera and Adelphi Rangers Squadron are questioned at the Senate Tribunal, Senator Leia Organa will make an impromptu appearance, via hologram, informing The Tribunal that the mission to Seatos was a secret operation, sanctioned by her in conjunction with The New Republic Special Forces (name-checking Marshal Carasynthia Dune as one of the primary agents in it, and her legal representative in the covert op), and at the behest of Commander and Jedi Master Luke Skywalker...with Luke showing up at the inquest (w/ Grogu in tow, since this has to be taking place after Season 2 of Mando, for Ahsoka's demeanor in The Book Of Boba Fett to make sense), vouching for the mission, claiming that The Force and Dark Side/Nightsister Alchemy was at work within the proceedings on Seatos and in certain pockets of The Outer Rim. Of course, some of it will be an absolute fib...BUT, much of it will be the truth, which will light a fire under the doubters within The Senate Committee, giving Chancellor Mothma more power to act on her suspicions. I'll say this much: If this is the caliber of storytelling and visuals (Hayden Christensen looked virtually like he stepped off of the set of Episode III, and went to the Ahsoka set..award-worthy stuff) that Dave Filoni is capable of in live-action...the movie he will be directing is going to be remarkable. Great reaction, Lads. May The Force Be With You.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Always a pleasure reading through your thoughts and theories Anthony. That “may the force be with you”at the end of the episode reminded me so much of the end of empire strikes back. It is an episode that will go down as top bless Star Wars for ever

[@xoxobobo1687]

the point i like : at the begining, she refuse to fight anakin. When he turned to the dark side, she wont refuse. She doesnt like that, but she answers to him. This is a big point on how much anakin disapointed her and how much she hated him when he turned to the dark side The part with kid ashoka is so cool but, honestly.... rosario doesnt know how to fight ....

[@MAZZI100]

Awesome reaction to one of most amazing episodes of this new Star Wars era ♥!. I´m still trying to process what I just watched. Hayden stole the show!. 💪I´m speechless. 😄Love Ahsoka´s character development. There was so much criticinzing about her seriousness and harshness personality. Ahsoka needed that closure with his Master in order to keep going foward and recover herself from sadness and darkness. Luckly there is much more to come. My best regards.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Really was an amazing bit of tv that we didn’t no we needed but now want a lot more of it.

[@danielwhyatt3278]

I couldn’t agree more.

[@amurawskiob1850]

I want more force ghost Anakin teaching Ahsoka heck even Luke. It would be so cool to see the chosen one and what he has been up to. Or like a lot of people want now a live action series of the clone wars following some never seen arcs of Anakin and Ahsoka maybe even the son of dathamir arc with Maul.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Hell yes. Or Hayden as vader just after order 66 killing off remaining Jedi but having flash backs of him as anakin with those Jedi on adventures or missions

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

No. Anakin should remain somewhat mysterious. Make a whole show about him and a lot spoiled. Best to have him pop up from time to time with wise words etc.

[@amurawskiob1850]

I disagree I think a show would not be a bad idea or ruin the majesticiness of what force ghost Anakin brings to the table. I think it can only increasingly add value to his character as we keep seeing. Now I will agree it really all depends on who would direct the show etc. But to always be fearful of adding to something is foolhardy at best

[@mikedignum1868]

Is Ahsoka the White now the embodiment of The Daughter? Anakin may now be The Father as he seemed the have control over his dark and light sides. OR was it all just a dream while she was floating in the sea? Shoutout to the actress who played young Ahsoka. I can see Ahsoka staying in the new galaxy and starting her own version of the Jedi Order.

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Yeah young ahsoka was so good. Same actress as young gamora and she was in barbie so that’s 3 massive franchises. I am assuming he’s like the father having control of both the light and dark. I think the white is to represent a new beginning for her and the fear she carries of a skins legacy has now lifted

[@BrianSFischer]

Time to give Dave F. all the cash and remake all of clone wars in live action!

[@LegendsofPodcasting]

Give him full control of all!! He deserves it

[@CaptainPikeachu]

Why do we need to remake it into live action? If they want to do something with new stories set in the Clone Wars? I’m all for it, but remaking it just feels insulting to the artists and voice actors, they’re not second best or a stepping stool for live action, the animation is just as valid as live action.

[@firecat4529]

19:11 Btw, did you know that according to “Bespin Bulletin” there was a fight scene shot between Anakin (as Hayden Christensen) and Ahsoka (as Savannah Steyn instead of Ariana Greenblatt, at least for that scene) on Mustafar in an alternate-reality-like setting during the "world-between-world like" moments, which they said was cut from the actual episode? In that scene Anakin would have showed her that she couldn't have changed his fate to become Vader even if she were there at that point, which would have taken away a lot of her guilt of her not having been there and not being able to save him, resulting in the now more light-hearted Ahsoka. They cut that scene, maybe cause it wasn't really a memory and/or cause Anakin's message/lesson was a different one? Though I still hope they would release it as a separate video on YT or sth like that, cause I would really like to see what that scene (and Savannah Steyn as Ahsoka) would have looked like and it also explains a bit better imo why Ahsoka is more enlightened and happy at the end of the episode.

It's always interesting to hear your guys' opinion of the sequel trilogy. Especially after this episode, which probably the most similar to Last Jedi than anything Dave Filoni has ever done. I mean, the best Yoda line ever, that comes from TLJ, "We are what they grow beyond. That is the true burden of all masters," is literally the lesson Anakin teaches to Ahsoka here.

It is a great line from the last Jedi. I(Stu) can just not forgive what they did with look in the last Jedi. Him throwing his fathers saber over his shoulder was horrible. I get some of the choices but even the ending although looked epic Like should of either been on crait fighting Kylo and then dying or be the protection but then still be alive. The a definitely great and positive moments from the sequel trilogy but as a hole wasn’t it for us.

Luke is his favorite character and when we finished the film, he said to me “if Luke can fail and try again, then I can too, I don’t have to be afraid anymore.” Just as the OT and prequels imparted lessons to the generations that were kids when they watched it, the sequels and TLJ did the same.

Welcome to the channel. Thanks you for subbing. Yes force awakens was such a great opener to the sequels. Just wish the last Jedi kept that momentum. Still don’t no why they didn’t have the same director with the same vision so all 3. I hope with the reception this gets Hayden gets his own show whether it be clone wars or him as vader. Ariana Greenblatt is a star and was amazing.

[@TheSYPHERIA]

@@LegendsofPodcasting100% agree with everything you said! I always liked Hayden in the prequels because it was someone we didn't recognise (as in a famous actor) so whenever you saw him you saw Anakin. But he's really developed as an actor and this suits him perfectly. He nailed a mixture of his and Matt's voice from the Clone Wars. I always liked the prequels because the world building and how they expanded the lore. The bad dialogue was just something you had to accept but it got better and Episode 3 is one of the best Star Wars movies
