Indeed it is

Indeed

Correct!

the best way 😂

Glorious

Think it speaks more about the social circle that Ahsoka was lucky to have gained through the likes of Anakin, Rex, Padme, Obi-Wan, etc, which helped provide a sense of stability and found family for her during the bulk of the Clone War. Compared to Barriss who only had her traditionalist master Luminara who more or less passively neglected Offee’s mental needs as a student during a time of war and violence.

Exactly. @@manofmercy1500

I think it is why it is so important that Ahsoka left the Jedi Temple. As difficult a decision as it must have been, I think leaving saved her. If Ahsoka Tano had stayed, I worry that she might have been either killed or turned to the Dark Side. Like Anakin or perhaps Barriss?

Yep exactly. Filoni and Rosario have said that she represents "the best of the Jedi" (Google their Vanity Fair interview). Fans have no idea what they're talking about and think the reason why Ahsoka is special is because she is 50% dark side 50% light side. That's not true - she literally becomes an avatar of the light when she dies and is resurrected in the Clone Wars.

@@matthewk4912 She carries the spirit of the Jedi Order without the trappings of dogma and bureaucracy. Except for Huyang.

@@andyb1653 Yep despite having good intentions the Jedi fell into those traps. They got too attached to a failing Republic instead of the Force.

​@@matthewk4912 I don't think she's an Avatar of the light. The Daughter healed her, didn't make her a Demigod 😅

​@@andyb1653 Huyang is chill though, he's cool

The original Star Wars story is taken straight from the Samurai movies of Japanese cinema. George Lucas himself cited the Seven Samurai as a major influence for the original Star Wars movie.

​@@jarrodbright5231that and old spaghetti Westerns which are just influenced by old Japanese samurai movies lol

spaghetti western cowboys/gunslingers are one of the most popular western archetypes in Japan because of their similarity to samurai.@@tdnavy1066

Darth Vader, Kreia and Maul would like a word with you.

@@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935 "the most well developed character in anything Star Wars on screen" - and even those 3 would have to agree with that.

@@Raygo. I saw all these characters on a screen.

@@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935 You may well have done... er, although I'm not sure how you managed it with Kreia. The point is that considering the movies and shows (with no EU books, comics, games, whatever) it's clear that Ahsoka's character is the most well-developed.

@@Raygo. limiting well developed character to just movies/shows and completely disregarding EU (or whatever they call it now) is selectively bias. Imo it just shows how much people simp for Ashoka, can't compare her to characters that haven't been shown in a movie or show.

although with a lot less Japanese influence

And Kanan. He lost his master too.

hehe ok he kind of looks even more like a ronin

Is that canon tho

​@@aydanmull It's canon. Confirmed. By science.

@@GenerationTech but her in the clothes of an onna bugeisha, and draw her in that black n'white Kurosawa homage style, and the difference is nonexistent.

@@STARGATE9 Yes

Based and Chad-pilled? Yeah, except for the Ukraine shilling

@@schitflowsdwnhil🤡

​@@schitflowsdwnhil Ukraine shilling?

​@@ALLMINDmercenarysupportsystemApparently supporting Ukraine as they fight against Russian instigators is considered shilling.

@@Burning-Twilight Apparently.

Yet she showed no such restraint in Rebels. Its been 30 years since Order 66 she would have moved on since then.

​@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935 i dont understand how you could be so steadfast in that conclusion. Why do you get to decide how Ahsoka should process her trauma? How do you know she whould have moved on by now? Do you know something about ptsd or trauma others do not? I find your statement to be ridiculous, ignorant and dismissive of the psychological impact war, betrayal and survival had on her.

@@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935For most of that time past Order 66, she had her memory of Anakin Skywalker to serve as a solid foundation for her to anchor herself to. She had a period of mourning for both Anakin and Padme at the end of the Clone Wars, and through that, spent time processing her Clone Wars trauma. By the time the Inquisitor had come after her, she was mostly emotionally recovered to the point that she was able to get back into the fight with gusto as a wiser version of her former self. The problems for her however, hit when she conclusively determined who Darth Vader was, and this forced her to look at Anakin in an entirely new light, and by proxy, herself. And this just rips the foundation of her worldview right from under her. If he could become that, then she could become that also. This would also force her to confront her warrior-centric nature as a contradiction to what she had been taught the Jedi were supposed to be, and in fact we’re trying to be again. She may very much want to have helped Luke rebuild the Jedi Order… but if he at any point explained the events aboard the Death Star to Ahsoka, she’d likely have concluded that she could teach him nothing that he actually needed to learn, and so went off to where she felt she was most useful, seeking out the enemies of the New Republic and fighting as a warrior. Her failure with Sabine Wren, and her apparent failure to save Mandalore probably further contributed to her apparent detachment we witnessed at the beginning of the season… but after some time with Anakin in TWBW, she seems to be rediscovering her former worldview, and we may see her slowly returning to the Ahsoka we saw in Rebels… and perhaps, just maybe… becoming something more.

@@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935 My step-mother is French and went thru bombing in WWII and still can't stand hearing thunder because it reminds her of the bombs.

@@panzer00 Ashoka hasn't shown any signs of PTSD until now including Rebels where Kanan clearly showed signs of PTSD. I don't think less of those suffering from PTSD especially the men an woman that serve our nations(Australia). The point i tried to make was that her PTSD being portrayed now was late to the party since she hasn't shown signs of it in the past. In like she didn't have a problem for nearly 30yrs so why now?.

I second this. Thank you for the comment.

Originally the Emperor was the ruler of in house politics setting disputes, laws and economics, whe the Shogun was the ruler of the military and defence. Over time the Shoguns started taking power from the Emperor since the Shogun had the armies.

@@blacktemplarbrotherlucius1935 i said REAL power.

Kagemusha blew my mind.

"Flirt with Studio Ghibli", never thought I'd hear that one before, but here we are.

@@MrDibara Ouch, in Spanish we sometimes use flirt as a kind of synonym for playing. Play with concepts, play with ideas. I don't know if it's the same in English. Chapters 5 and 6 have moments that remind me of Studio Ghibli, and those Miyazaki characters especially connected to nature, like Mononoke or Nausicaa... well, Ezra and Ahsoka have a lot of that.

@@angry_popeye Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm just amused at a new expression I just learned about. Please, don't take my comment as an offense. 😅 I genuinelly wouldn't be surprised if Filoni got a bit of inspiration from Studio Ghibli. A lot of the themes in their movies can easily fit like a glove in the Star Wars setting. Of course, Filoni is no Hayao Miyazaki, but I think he's been doing a pretty decent enough job incorporating that feel.

@@MrDibara Don't worry. I didn't take as an offense

It's canon, but her lover, Master Quinlan Vos, is confirmed to have survived Order 66 and is alive in canon.

I mean they wrote in a way of Asajj Ventris returning with the Nightsister necromancy.

when did she die?

Filoni has wanted to retcon her death since the final seasons of the Clone Wars were canceled. He even suggested doing it in Resistance.

If not the best!

@@JackFromWyoming Explain?

@@JackFromWyoming Well, Ashoka has more development than most main females. You just got to watch the rest to understand. Compared to like Rye who's what you described from the start.

​@@JackFromWyoming *"All female cast"* >ignores Baylan, Thrawn, Huyang, Carson Teva, etc< *"with zero flaws"* >ignores the screw ups and dillemas that not only Ahsoka and Sabine are facing, but ALL characters are with their own issues and goals< So basically, you didn't even watch Ahsoka at all and simply jumbled it together with the actual woke bullcrap that had come before. Sorry to burst your bubble, but Dave Filoni is cooking something FAR REMOVED from any of that crap. You would know if you had watched it, this isn't another Sequel Trilogy. *But of course, I'm sure me saying this won't change anything, since your comment already betrays how radicalized you've become on your stance.* -_- Ironically, that's not very different than the wokes and their radical enforcing of their so called "culture".

@@JackFromWyoming Uh, the Witches, Morgan? Don't tell me seeing those Witches didn't send a cold down your spine?
