Dont forget in tales of jedi, baby ahsoka connected with the tiger beast

I've seen other reactors say, it was just a hallucination/dream, but I have to disagree. It's possible it's a combination, but how does Jacen hear a light sabre fight if it is just a hallucination? And how does he then amplify it so Hera can hear it? It makes more sense to me, that Jacen was able to connect to the World between World's a place that multiple Jedi have, "experienced," over just a pure mind link to Ashoka, I guess.

I’m getting major Jedi Fallen Order vibes from that Master / Padawan fight (Anakin / Ahsoka & Jaro / Cal)

subtitutos español porfavor

@WaveSquadron Ezra gets brought back as Ahsoka promises and ends up training Jason

And a good director!

If anyone still has any doubt on whether Hayden can deliver a great performance with the right director, just watch Shattered Glass, he’s great in it. I love George Lucas, but I can’t deny that the prequels bad acting (Hayden, Natalie and some of the others) were absolutely Lucas’s fault

He’s no Jake Lloyd but it was a decent performance

say that. he played it perfect.. dave filoni.. Salute my guy

It's also been 20 years lmao, he's improved. Its okay to say he was bad actor in episode 2.

That really clicked for me here as well. It's insights like that which make me open to recastings.

Dare i say she is better as Ashoka than Rosario on the short screen time she had I like Rosario as Ashoka But Young Ashoka was PERFECTION

I think part of it is because we were so young watching it as kids, and as a kid you always feel older than you are

She’s been great in everything. Young Gamora in IW, and she was pretty good in Barbie too.

⁠​⁠@@TheJunmengogotta say, I agree! I really enjoy Dawson as Ahsoka and you can now see why her portrayal of Ahsoka was a little different - it was Dave’s vision to have her be portrayed as someone carrying so much guilt. By the end of the episode you could already see Rosario had that Ahsoka vibe we all know and loved because she finally let go of that guilt over Anakin’s turning. BUT you are absolutely right - Ariana Greenblatt is *perfect* as young Ahsoka. I literally cannot picture any other actress doing it better!

LOVE ERIC OMGGGG

It's not "fan service" when it serves the plot and the story OF the characters so you can't say that at all.

@@Gadget-Walkmen It's both, you trying to be "technically correct" just for the sake of it doesn't matter to us true fans who live for this kind of amazing stuff that hits you right in the feels. You just end up sounding like a dick more than trying to correct someone.

@@Gadget-Walkmen I didn’t mean it in a bad way. I’m a fan and I want to be served. There’s little sense to Ashoka show if you didn’t watch clone wars and rebels. It’s made for fans, not for new audience. And it’s great.

@@maxydey42 having a spin off show to a popular character still isnt “fan service” at all. It’s just a show to flesh out the character’s story so to say it has “little sense” I still say isn’t the right term to say at all as clone wars and rebels are still highly essential Star Wars shows! I get what you’re trying to say it’s not for “new audiences” but same thing can said about any spin off media about lore characters in the universe, you’ve got to be into the series to be into all these media products. That’s what I’m saying!

It also showed how much she valued each and every clone. Yes Anakin had Rex and Obi-Wan Cody, but the Jedi (even Yoda) make it clear clones are expendable. Ahsoka learned (especially via Rex and the rest of the 501) that they're each their own person and deserve dignity and aren't cannon fodder.

@@Flufferz626 "but the Jedi (even Yoda) make it clear clones are expendable" What? Every time we get Jedi-clone interactions, it's made clear that they don't view them as expendable - there's an episode where Yoda tells clones how they're still their own people and we have Plo Koon literally spell it out that he doesn't think they're expendable in the Malevolence arc. The only Jedi we've seen who actually thinks clones are expendable is Pong Krell - who's also turned to the Dark Side.

@@Flufferz626 LMAO The very first episode of the Clone Wars was about how Yoda values each clone as an individual. 😂

@@TitanDarwinok but there’s also episode 3 Yoda juxtaposed with Ahsoka’s actions during order 66 lol

@@TitanDarwin I mean you definitely have situations where Jedi clearly care more about their own than they do the clones. The Jedi resqued from the citadel, for example, (Even Piell?) got a mini funeral on a lava river…Cody’s troopers on the mission, all of which who died, didn’t get a second thought, only the other clones called to them. You have a few other scenes where Jedi lead clones in the open, charging blindly at fortified positions. The Jedi make it across the killing field…but the clones often don’t. Ahsoka even directly calls Anakin out on this during the attack on the Malevolence.

Now this is where the fun begins!

@@playlistb3795They took their time 😅

LET'S GOOOO!!

Facts!

Same dude

You never would've made it as Obi-Wan's padawan, but you might just make it as mine.

Especially since it also feels like Anakin is setting her up to be the daughter alongside with him as the father. But she needed to get over her regrets, past, and resentment she had towards herself and Anakin.

​@JaayCeez so who's the sun? Palp? Lol

@@rastagamer4204 Future character...

Especially clone wars fans that's what Rex said to the domino squad specifically hevy.

Hayden's Anakin at peace was absolutely everything to me.

@@williammccormick984 The dude shifted back from his darker self to his lighter self masterfully. He really became one with the force, and rised above Vader. It's so nice to see... Mastery of himself.

​@@gerardlacroix6015kinda like Revan, both a Sith and a Jedi.

@@gerardlacroix6015 Exactly. He accepts the darkness that exists within himself, but does not allow that darkness to control him. Unlike the Jedi, who fought to eliminate the darker aspects of themselves by denying attachment and emotion, depriving themselves of true self-understanding. And also unlike the Sith, who allowed themselves to become slaves to darker selves. He is truly balanced.

To see him at peace and acknowledging him being Vader, honestly that hit me pretty hard. I wanna see him talk abt his downfall tho, post vader is something that I never thought I'd see. Hope Disney bring him in for more projects, it'll be disappointing if they don't 😔

Yeah I think this episode solidifies that he indeed became the Father and since he is the balance between the son and the daughter he channels both dark and light side at will and this leads me to think that Vader was always destined to be a part of Anakin but since no one could teach him how to find the balance between the two other than the previous Father he lost the balance and Vader won the struggle so the biggest mistake he did was not accepting Father's offer at least that's my theory of course.

@@soundwave2481half of his life as the Jedi Anakin Skywalker and half as The Sith Lord Vader. At the end of his life he was able to be both simultaneously.

agreed hope we get to see more of this in the future and not just in ahsoka maybe when she ends up meeting luke for the first time i think cuz still dont know where boba fett fits in this timeline but yeah hope we get more of he being the chosen one

He always was the chosen one

star wars is like poetry it rhymes was it? Darth VADER = Father in dutch and many other languages to become the FATHER @@soundwave2481

This was definitely a force ghost anakin coming down to teach Ashoka one more lesson that he couldn't before

I interpreted that as a reference to their duel at the end of Rebels season 2. Ahsoka: “I won’t fight you… not this time.” Anakin/Vader: “Then you will die.” Would love if it’s a double allusion to both though, that’d be incredible!

@@willbrightmore1737she actually said “I won’t abandon you…not this time.” It is 100% referencing his duel with Luke.

id like to think that reference makes more sense when she says ''what if i want to stop fighting?'' during the force dream clone wars thing, anakin replied ''then you will die'' exactly as vader says after she says ''I wont FIGHT you'' @@willbrightmore1737

​@@willbrightmore1737also if it was just in her mind Jace wouldn't specifically say he hears lightsabers, lights ayers,. I have no clue what Aaron's talking about. It's a few things anakin referenced that she didn't know about to be a figment of her imagination.

You literally pulled up to every reaction channel and posted the same comment. Cringe.

​@@LaVespaMortale imagine getting so annoyed over a harmless comment🤣

@@connorlynch428 lol im hangry, crosshairs were on him 😅

@@LaVespaMortale surely Crosshair would be dead 😝

Honestly that hit me hard, I cried my eyes out. The fact he acknowledges that and also his face, oof that got me too. Really want to hear him talk abt his downfall, that'd be so interesting, and I really hope Disney bring him in for more projects.

i like how he says it, like it was a petulant teenage phase

@@irrumnaaz I understand. You can tell he is hurt by the statement because it’s the truth, and the truth hurts. He is also upset and a bit angry by the fact that Ashoka isn’t seeing past that part of him, and that she is concerned about herself in that regard. Anakin is trying to show her she is more than what she was trained to be.

By far the best line in the whole episode... Every time you see Anakin you think of what he becomes... Now as a ghost who knows his future and past he hopes ahsoka can see past that but she can't so he gives her what she's most scared of... That part of him... By far my favorite star wars episode of all

@@JsscRchlDrsy He's also showing her that Anakin and by extension herself was more than just the legacy of Vader, and that it's OK to move past the guilt of him becoming Vader.

He's 25,000 years old.

We'll be alright as long as we stay together 🥺

@anna-mariedonnelly2104 FINE I'll watch clone wars again 😭

It is really difficult to get an emotional response from people when the character is a robot/droid. How many times has Star Wars pulled it off now? Huyang hit me in the feels.

Man imagine being 26000 years old and seeing so many of people you've literally watched grow up die. Someone needs to give Huyang a hug

Filoni truly understands the lore.

Couldn’t agree more and I felt said. Nice observation about stopping the ones he cares about from dying as well! This episode was so amazing

i agree with mostly everything but i would argue that defining moment where he saves someone he cares about works better with luke on the deathstar

It just shows that actors themselves are almost never the main reason for a bad portrayal of a character.

@@eugger3011and it’s something that weird fans still don’t accept to this day. They still rip actors apart for character portrayals

She is a keeper of the peace, not a soldier.

and this is exactly what Luke Skywalker himself does in the Last Jedi and SO many miss it. He didn't lift a FINGER against Ben. For the first time in SW history, it was the SEQUELS that showcased what being a Jedi truly meant. And now here Filoni is the one reminding us of it. Gotta love being a SW fan man.

All the guilt, worry and fear she had regarding Anakin has been lifted off her shoulders. For the first time, she has inner peace, which is why her demeanor changed after she woke.

@@TheRibottoStudios @TheRibottoStudios people do get it, except the issue is, this is a first for Ahsoka, Luke already went through it with Vader in return of the Jedi, He already learned those lessons, he acted out of fear in episode 5 and got his ass whooped, then he learned to be calmer in episode 6, and then out of anger he almost kills Vader but decided to put down his weapon and choose the Jedi path. The OT shows plenty of times what a Jedi truly means. I don't know why you're acting like only the sequels showed that. Obi wans first introduction is healing luke, immediately followed by attempting diplomacy with a stormtrooper and then showing disarming of a criminal (lol). Not once in the original trilogy does a Jedi, besides luke kill anyone. What happened in the last Jedi wasn't really that bad to be fair, but is was very very unneeded, because he's already gotten those lessons, he knows past Jedi failed, he knows that the whole attachment forbidden thing was wrong. He chose to be his own Jedi , he learned those lessons, there was no reason for him to backtrack. I don't think he would ever pull a saber on a literal child no matter how angry he is. He knows the dark side, he's even kept up with training according to book of boba Fett, so he shouldn't just give in because of some future visions, he's had those before too. It just didn't make a whole lot of sense timeline wise. Fight with Ben was cool he didn't really hurt kylo/Ben although I would've liked him to actually be there and do what he did for real but that was cool too. Maybe just disarm Ben? Honorary Skywalker arm loss in the second movie of trilogy lol. What he did with kylo wasn't the issue, but how he got there was. Do I make sense? I don't know how else to explain my views lol

@@thomasharfst3381 after seeing this episode as a lifelong fan i have inner peace too. I feel so validated having watched all the media and actually liking them when people used to hate on them (namely prequels and rebels show) lol. All hail lord Dave

They really made us wait for this reaction lol!

@@devindoty4989 I've literally been refreshing this page dying for this reaction... the wait was agony lol but so so so worth it... exactly why they will always be my favorite star wars channel ❤

Dave is a genius. He knew EXACTLY what he was doing in this episode. All the emotion and tension we have felt, and when Hera spoke out those words, it hit very, very hard ❤

I was like "say it ... SAY IT... SHE SAID IT!!!!" 😂

She NAILED that delivery. The slight break in the voice, the eyes. It's the subtleties that made it feel so real and emotional. Hats off👏

@@Kanig94 He is not, but this episode was dope.

​@@Golfballtauchen do a better job then

i still rather the "you lack conviction" with vader's voice mixed into anakin's.

Yeah. I get people saying the visuals aren't as quality, but at the end of the day it is a TV show with a TV shows budget. You're right it was a clever way to save money and make it feel ethereal

Ya it was very clever and didn’t feel forced like it does sometimes when shows use smoke too much or fog. It was set up perfectly. Just wish we had more 😂

This! It made it feel like a dream…not everything in a dreamscape is within vision.

Wow that's a good point😅

@@andyb6400 exactly, a lot of it looks practical in those scenes. It might also explain why other sequences in the show are bigger on effects. Those space whales probably cost a lot who knows.

LOVE TO SEE THE RESPECT ON KEVIN KINER'S NAME 😩🫶🏻

I even didn't realise it's not John Williams! Such a good effort to bring those legendary Anakin "clone wars-revenge of the sith" notes to a new generation

Well said 🤝🏻

"...the symbolism of the water...It's a common rite in many religions..." Indeed. And it also perfectly mirrors Anakin's "baptism by fire" to be "reborn" as Vader - Ahsoka chooses a different path partly _because_ she was Anakin's Padawan and can learn from _both_ his triumphs and disasters. So yep, totally intentional, i'd agree. (it's been a minor frustration that some fans have complained about how Rosario Dawson is playing Ahsoka because to me it's been very clear even since "The Mandalorian" that she's deliberately playing her as withdrawn and somewhat broken by her experiences, almost certainly with an eye to exactly this kind of character arc, where we see her come back to herself. And sure enough, once Ahsoka's inner conflict is resolved Dawson perfectly portrays that lightness of spirit that's been missing up to now. Hopefully those people that couldn't see it before will be able to appreciate her performance all the more now)

Feels like Ahsoka was more worried about perspective padawans turning out like Anakin did than herself. It's presumably why she stopped training Sabine and wouldn't train Grogu

Also by choosing not to give in and delivering the killing blow, she is validating Anakin's statement that he is more than death and war, the same validation Luke gave him. And because everything he is live on in her, Ahsoka by extension validates that SHE is more than death and war.

The lesson was nothing more than "you need to keep fighting, or you'll die". Nothing else was clear in this episode.

alomost,, and I am not even a fanboy

My favorite episode of live action Star Wars TV behind all 12 eps of Andor! Easily!

Brought me back to when I was 12 watching her walk away from the order crying, to then crying at 20 years old seeing them reunite in season 7 and now almost 24 bawled my eyes out seeing this. Their relationship means so much to me I can’t even explain it

​@@MarcieQueen99It's the first time since Disney took over that a live action show truly felt like Star Wars imo. It felt exactly as when i first watched the originals and the prequels. I'm so damn happy how it turned out.

My wife came in and asked what I was watching. "Oh, just the best Star Wars ...EVERRR...buzz off!"

Waiting for him to adopt a 🐺 before the end of the show 😂

Did they mix it into the Force theme? Because that is what I heard when Jacen listened with Hera.

@@najtrows If I remember right I think so

Ahsoka going back to her lighter personality was beautiful.

@@1idd0kun It really was :) I was like "there she is", I knew she just needed to talk to Anakin again. I just didn't think it would happen in episode 4 and 5. Dave gagged me with that, I'm not gonna lie.

People I've noticed in the last ten years or so are so overly critical I feel. A lot of times you see people just pissed off about a character while refusing to let them go through their own arc or growth. They bitch and complain about nuance but when you give them a static character that doesn't grow or change they complain about that too. Really wish people would just learn to shut the hell up and let something tell it's story before they judge it.

@@JustNardo Preach. 🙌🏽. I honestly think it is just the side effects of being an Internet generation. Everyone is so quick to post how they feel and they also want instant gratification. They don't like waiting. It's sad.

I always say that after initial movies, some Star Wars fanboys stopped actually genuinely watching things and taking them in. It feels like they watch everything with the intention to pick things and because of this, miss out huge details.

And when he ignites his red lightsaber, he's in the same pose as when he fought Kenobi on mustafar

Feloni's parallels always astound me Every time 😮

It's like poetry it rhymes

It's shit.

He’s been the chosen one for 24 years. And no he didn’t. It’s impossible to use the light and darksides as Pablo Hidalgo and every canon work dealing with Jedi makes clear.

@@TheAwesome45 What about the Father? The Bendu? Extremely powerful, ethereal force beings (of which, Anakin now is) that were able to tap into both. Anakin very well may be the embodiment of the Father himself. Then again, if you haven't seen The Clone Wars and Rebels I wouldn't expect you to have those points of reference. But if you HAVE, and you're choosing to ignore the deeper lore deliberately, I can't help you.

@@TheAwesome45 For a JEDI. Anakin at this point is more than just a Jedi, or Sith.

@@TheAwesome45what did you just watch then because he was literally switching between the light and dark side at will, and it’s not like it’s a vision that’s actually anakin.

@@CRlMZlNthe bendu were cool. Reminds me of the old legacy books or story’s in future stories stwor mmo game. Where they meet very old Begins from long ago. They understood the force as the force no light or dark. How you used it. I like that stuff :)

Well said.. 👍

I hope the people who were judging this show too quick feel like idiots now. At least let the last episode air first before judging.

Loving the change, though I honestly think they could have made it a bit more clear for people who never watched Clone Wars or Rebels in the earlier episodes, because this is the only Ahsoka they know and for all they know she's always been like this. Huyang knew what she used to be like. Maybe in episode 2 Sabine could point out how distant and stoic she is and Huyang reminices about how she was during the clone wars. Maybe we wouldn't see as many people complaining about her performance, heavens knows there's already enough people frothing at the mouth looking for any excuse to bag on Star Wars shows.

⁠@@rezaimran98a lot of people have no appreciation for nuance or subtlety, they want everything spelled out for them

It's almost as if she lost a part of herself when she lost Anakin. A part that's now been re-found.

He's probably only the father, since he is the balance between the son and the daughter

@@markosmatrozos4175yup :D😊

He is definitely the father, but also saw him as the brother once his eyes went red and not Sith yellow for a bit.

@@markosmatrozos4175yeah, 22 years light, 22 years dark for anakin. He has experienced both sides and seemed balanced in both dark and light when embracing them, which only the father could do.

It’s always fun to think that but for story purposes that would be so hard to fit into this show hard to explain I’d say a majority of the audience hasn’t seen the animated series so the Morris arc means nothing and that would be so hard to show in love action or just explain it in a conversation

It wasn't a vision, it was actually happening. A lot of people are saying it's a vision or in her head, but Jaycen could hear it happening. It was real.

Dramatic lol

Magical is an overstatement. Disney is unable to make their own good show, so they pander to nostalgia to make it good. Notice how the only good parts in the show are when they go back to the old characters/scenes. The duels all were bad, the only decent one was Anakin, and that was because he's actually good at saber fighting.

@@FortniteBlaster2 exactly. Like nothing in this episode was new…we get it….Anakin is Vayder. Not sure why everyone is freaking out about those snippets.

@@EMANUGARCDisney playing at nostalgia and emotion. I get it, it's cool... but how many times are they going to do it? Are they going to do it every show since they are incapable of making new characters as good as the prequels?

I noticed that too. You could see Rosario struggling to keep up with Hayden just because he's so damn good. He definitely keeps up with his training even at home.

@@cptbabyface9804 If I recall correctly, people said the same thing about him in episodes II and III: intense and fast.

And it was for 1 cut scene

Beautifully said!! To me, she is the greatest Jedi of all time

Agreed, I also think her respect and love of Anakin was renewed on that ethereal plane.

Excellent analysis.

Yea there are a lot of small details. I noticed when Anakin said "Time to die" he has 1 normal eye and 1 sith eye

Conflicted you say 😂

Oh 100%, we basically got the 3 most important episodes of the clones wars in live action; Episode 1, The Ryloth episode (which was one of the episodes where ahsokas character completely changed, and the last episode. It was absolutely perfect to see that episode in particular and how coming out of the flashbacks she had regained what made her great. Rosario absolutely nailed the shift in the character having had that immense weight lifted off her shoulders.

In the Legends.. books that Power existed (moré développéd with the after thrawn stuff, galaxy war).in video Games (kotor) it existed

Something to note too is the very large gap of control over that ability between the two. Ahsoka managed to convince one to let her hitch a ride to whereever they were going, Ezra convinced them to go out of their way to a planet they probably never intended to visit, attack a giant, dangerous ship and drag it to another galaxy. It's like teaching a dog to shake paw vs teaching a dog to be a search and rescue badass.

Yeah and the added Vader voice effect was just a cherry on top just 10/10...

It isn't.

agreed

The trailers only showed footage from the first 4 episodes (minus a few Thrawn shots). It's all surprises from here!

That's the crazy thing. This show has been so good, and they haven't even introduced the best character yet.

I just wanted to see more of Anakin, I really couldn't get enough. I really hope they make more Anakin/Vader content in the future, it would be such a disappointment if they don't 😔

@@irrumnaazhe’s probably gonna be in the later part of the season because of the speech in one of the trailers

Feige is dogshit now. Marvel is garbage so Feloni should not end up like him

Whoa.

Late reply but when he says "You lack conviction." The voice is synthesised over a little to sound like Hayden but with the metallic Vader overlayed to produce an echo effect.

The Kenobi series and bTh1 Boba Fett series

there were some flashback scenes in Clone Wars, like the ones with Ventress's backstory in the nightsisters arc. And there were some flashback scenes in the Mandalorian for Mando's backstory.

Flashbacks are a rarity in Star Wars, but they're becoming more common in the modern era. Other flashbacks we've seen include Luke and Leia's training flashback in The Rise of Skywalker, Din's flashbacks to the death of his parents in The Mandalorian, Boba Fett's bacta tank reminiscences about the Tuskens in The Book of Boba Fett, Obi-Wan and Anakin's training duel in Obi-Wan Kenobi, and the flashbacks to Cassian Andor's childhood in Andor. When used sparingly, they can be extraordinarily effective, and what we saw in this episode may have been the best use of them yet!

So you just didn't watch Obi-Wan or Mandalorian?

Mandalorian had Din as a child, BOBF had Boba meeting the sand people, Kenobi had Anakin flashback.
