Right. Luke probably has more natural power in the Force but he's still years behind in training to Ahsoka. Ahsoka would have a more fluid lightsaber technique.

also in the disney canon they obviously don't have much idea of Luke's training, in the expanded universe I know that he receives knowledge about how the lightsaber is handled by Yoda, holocrons or another type of reference material, because his skill with the saber on the new Jedi order era was exceptional and prodigious, being able to face many Yuuzhan Vong at the same time with incredible speed

Obi wan beat Anakin in ROTS because of Anakin's arrogance and overconfidence. That's the same reason Ahsoka beat Maul. It's less about power levels and more about the fatal flaws in the Sith mindset and ideology.

No it doesn’t make sense dude. In a real fight, Luke would straight up whoop her Togruta ass

Makes sense. And it lines up with Rex's words from the Clone Wars movie: "Experience outranks everything." She may not be the most powerful force user but she certainly has a very well refined lightsaber form.

I think we should wait to figure out exactly why she was absent in the OT before we criticize that element of the story. If Clone Wars came out before the OT, perhaps an Ahsoka v Vader conflict would've been a great ending. But I still think that Ahsoka can get a great ending without that. Perhaps her story will end with bringing someone like Ezra back from the dark in a way that she couldn't for Anakin. Maybe it will end with reconciling her past with Anakin and getting over her trauma so she can be the Jedi she was always meant to be. There are plenty of interesting directions that Ahsoka can be taken in that don't require her death at the hands of Anakin/Vader.

I believe the issue is, and I've never checked out his shows or Disney Star Wars, so I could be wrong, that she still carries a lightsaber and fights with it. An ex-Jedi would not have those powers and abilities. Look at the EU, which showed a Jedi Master who wasn't really the most trained of his ilk, taking on Vader right after Mustafar, and Vader eventually beat Master Shryne. He only got stronger from there. While in Rebels, Ahsoka Force pushed Vader. That, realistically, does NOT happen and should not.

Yeah. Filoni doesn't want Luke to be a Gary stue. He's showing how his lightsaber style gets better with time an practice. The problem is that people are making excuses for why Luke should be better when it doesn't really make sense. Ahsoka is a very experienced force user and dualist. Although she isn't an official Jedi, she still continues many of her Jedi practices.

She's had decades more life experience than Luke. She also trained in the Temple with some of the best jedi in the Order, something Luke didn't do. Luke didn't even train in lightsaber combat with a master. So anyone with a brain should be able to see that Ahsoka would have the more refined lightsaber technique.

First of all, this title is a bit misleading. Filoni did not say Ahsoka is stronger. He said she has better lightsaber form. This is because she was trained at the temple by Yoda and Anakin while Luke is mostly self taught at this point (in his early 20s). Also it's not just Filoni's mind. George Lucas was on set for the filming of part of Mandalorian season 2. So he gave input to Dave and Jon about how they should handle some of the legacy characters being brought in.

Yeah. I feel like some people are taking what Filoni said out of context. He never mentioned how their force abilities compare.

She's also a FAILED Jedi. And she still Force pushed Vader, so to say she has more training is sugarcoating the truth - SHE IS STRONGER IN THE FILONIVERSE.

@@saberiandream316 She didn't fail. The Jedi Order betrayed her. She surpassed heights that most Jedi reach because she chose her own path.

If not for Anakin, Ahsoka would've been a goner. The Order didn't fail her, she failed herself.

I don't think Luke's death was the most amazing thing ever but it wasn't horrible by any means in my eyes. Part of it may have been to do with "passing the torch" in a way. Luke passed his torch to Rey. Ezra seems like he will be Ahsoka's successor in a way.

Technically he was canonically the strongest Jedi in existence. He becomes the strongest in the canon in the post ROTJ period, approved by George when the franchise was still under his creative control. He also had access to the force ghosts of Yoda, Obi Wan and Anakin. Logically it wouldn't take a lot for him to surpass her in skills and he's certainly significantly more powerful than her with the force. Filoni is over exaggerating her abilities, and what's interesting is that her live action character's portrayal - in season 2 of the Mandalorian - was no where near as powerful or impressive as Luke's performance in that final ep of that season, where he simply went through an army of powerful droids like it was nothing. Ahsoka struggled against characters on the show that would be quickly dispatched by the Luke of the final ep of season 2 of the Mandalorian. She may have more experience but the gap in power between the two is significant.

Yeah. Even in TLJ, as controversial as it is, Luke's power is never questioned. No other Jedi is able to use the force power he used in the end. I'm all for making Luke have a more gradual learning curve instead of learning everything needed to become a Jedi within what is about 3 years.

Maybe Luke hasn't mastered all the lightsaber techniques. But I also wonder when George said Luke was the strongest Jedi.

Luke had plenty of combat experience in the years of fighting the Empire so that is not accurate, he's also near the peak of his power and was taught directly by Obi Wan and Yoda and continued to learn from them as force ghosts and from his own studies in the years after ROTJ.

That disgusting hack doesn't even understand basic writing rules like "Show vs Tell" or "Checkov's Gun." And he clearly has no concept of consistency either. Seriously, the issues with his writing are SO OBVIOUS. How the heck do people not see it unless they're being willfully ignorant??

I don't know if you actually watched the documentary or not but what he does is that he doesn't make Luke an overpowered Gary stue who has mastered lightsaber combat despite not having much formal teaching. Ahsoka is a better dualist because she has decades of experience and trained under some of the greatest Jedi of the clone wars. You'd know this if you weren't biased.

He's not over powered at all, he's supposed to be the most powerful Jedi in George Lucas's canon. It's nothing compared to how strong he got in the EU, in fact he's underpowered in Disney's Star Wars.

Um... the EU isn't canon whether you want it to be or not. It doesn't matter what happened in the EU because it's a new canon. Luke isn't completely overpowered in the new canon. Luke was not trained much in lightsaber combat. Ahsoka had years to practice in the Order before getting experience in the field fighting Ventrass, Grevous, and Maul. She was trained by the literal chosen one. She has decades of experience. Ahsoka continued to be a Jedi after she left the Order. She just didn't have any ties to the Order so she wasn't officially a Jedi. Luke's war was fought years after the Clone Wars. Don't forget Ahsoka was involved in the fight against the Empire too. She went toe to toe with Darth Vader before entering the world between worlds. She has the experience, knowledge, and skill to be a Jedi master if she wanted to be. Do you really think learning from holocrons is better then learning from Anakin Skywalker, Obi wan Kenobi, and Plo Koon? Yoda trained Ahsoka longer than he trained Luke. Ahsoka has her own distinct style too. Luke is in his 20s. He has a long time to grow and become a Jedi master. He shouldn't be some Gary Stue like character. It doesn't matter who is stronger. Arguably Luke is stronger in his prime (which he has not yet reached). Being the son of the chosen one doesn't make someone overpowered. He isn't better and doesn't need to be better.

This man really say Dave don’t know anything about Star Wars?😂 He is literally George Lucas apprentice bro. He knows more than anyone after George. George Lucas the creator of Star Wars wouldn’t side with you on this one buddy

He started annoying people from day one.

"And now you want to take that away from them and make it dark and sinister and evil?" I agree the normies don't like that, or do they? Audiences liked Aliens and Predator. But whatever. The IDEA of the casual customer base is what Disney chases, and that... is why they fail. As a Jedi Master we know might say.

Me too! Long live to EU

I don't think Filoni even understands what "kid's content" is. Just look at TCW. It's very obviously directed at kids yet it's chock full of adult topics which are COMPLETELY inappropriate for kids.

@@imyouralibi6208 Yeah, which, by the way, some of the best "kid's shows" dealt with pretty heavy stuff at times. Look at Teen Titans (the original show), Avatar, Korra and likely Steven Universe, though I haven't watched much of it myself. Point is, some of the best cartoons I remember as a kid were ones that said stuff I didn't entirely understand yet and had to figure out. I enjoyed that a lot of Expanded Universe content never treated its audience like morons, regardless of the age the piece of content was for.

In the films, but after ROTJ he becomes - canonically - the strongest Jedi.

@@rpgadventurer32 There's more to becoming a Jedi than lightsaber form. Ahsoka may be better when it comes to dualling but that doesn't mean she is the strongest Jedi. Luke may actually have a stronger connection to the force and has already found balance and delt with his traumas while Ahsoka hasn't.

He's a fake lore master. Just very good at skimming Wookieepedia, and he loves changing it in minor ways to get nitpicking fans furious. It's the same old gaslighting from Lucasfilm. He has malicious motives the same as all others working there. Remember, this is the SAME MAN who gender-swapped a male character to female. He is either far more ignorant on lore than he pretends or changes it. There is no in between on this.

The title is so misleading. It's clearly designed to cause an argument.

Well if you ask Lucas, he seems to like him. He worked with him for years on the Clone Wars and even came back to the set of the Mandalorian to help him with bringing Ahsoka to live aciton

Precisely, Luke was the son of one the most powerful Force-users of his day.

Yep, after decades of experience learning while also teaching multiple Jedi trainees

Filoni has insisted for YEARS that was never canon, so don't buy into this claim that he somehow has such "deep love" for Legends, _that_ is just Filoni groupies trying to make sure their savior doesn't have even ONE single negative mark on his record, so he looks flawless, when no human being can be utterly pure saintly perfect perfection. And if it was never canon, they'd have never needed to rebrand it "Legends" anyway. He's like all the others, he likes taking from the EU to act like he did it first. He even says in one of the new canon books they'd have a "united canon" for "the first time" in Star Wars history! Except the EU has done that the whole time. The man is trash.

Cause of course someone who has no Jedi master teach him sword fighting would be better than the person who got training directly from Anakin Skywalker himself

@@themichaelhartwell You do know that Ahsoka was trained personally by that very same powerful force user, right?

Filoni said that during the Mandalorian, Ahsoka is more experienced than Luke which is an indisputable fact given that she is about 20 years older than him.

How does Luke still having more to learn and not being the greatest Jedi ever while in his 20's diminish his character or his achievements? Why should Luke be the only Jedi left? Why should he be the only one that matters? In my eyes, more characters and stories are a good thing. Ahsoka could've died fighting Maul. But Luke also could've been killed by the Emperor after turning Vader to the light. Both confrontations were ending chapters of their lives and could've been stopping points. Legends is still there if you want to read it. No one has taken it away. But don't pretend that Legends didn't have its fair share of continuity problems and contradictions to Lucas' work. Lucas was the one who created Ahsoka. He's also the one who hired Filoni. He also brought Maul back to life. Clone Wars is Lucas' canon.

Also it's kinda stupid. Anyone who isn't clouded by OT fanboy rage should be able to recognize that Ahsoka is far more experienced than Luke and should have a more refined saber technique.

@@FFF_de.r At this point in the story, Ahsoka may very well have surpassed Vader. She's lived about the same length as Vader as of Mandalorian. She's also had experiences we don't know about with the force since the end of Rebels. Also having a more refined lightsaber technique does not equate to defeating Sith Lords. Qui Gon Jin was most likely more skilled than Obi wan in TFM. Same goes for Ahsoka and Luke. Luke defeated Vader but that doesn't mean that he is stronger than Ahsoka. A lot of lightsaber fights don't come down to just who is the strongest. Otherwise Vader would probably have beaten Obi wan on Mustafar.

@@datguy3581 Luke is far stronger than Ahsoka. It's not even remotely close. He's Anakin's genetic equal, though with far better temperament and balance. Lucas said he was the most powerful Jedi ever with twice the power of peak Palpatine/ Yoda. Disney actually ups this in canon by saying the Skywalkers have "virtually unlimited power and ability to use the force." Luke with 7 years of training is still vastly more powerful than Ahsoka with 20 years. "Saber refinement" aside, it's a silly question, all things being equal Luke is far more powerful than Ahsoka, and that's axiomatic.

@@datguy3581 Im sorry but your favourite character is fan fiction bro

@@thomas8431 In the new canon, force abilities are determined by more then just genetics. While some people have more natural talent, anyone can use the force under the proper conditions with the proper time and effort. The force isn’t something that just a few special people can use because of their superior bloodlines. Now I still argue that there’s a good chance that Ahsoka is better than Luke at this point. But we don’t know for sure. That being said, it’s completely reasonable for Ahsoka to have better lightsaber technique at this point. Luke is self taught while Ahsoka was mentored by the best in the order and fought multiple duals against powerful opponents.

Ikr?? It's so annoying. Judging by her behavior, she should've fallen to the dark side long before Anakin did. She literally comes across as a sociopath. And it's even more disturbing when you think about the fact that her character was created to appeal to kids.

Not every Jedi character has to fall to the dark side. She has a ton of strengths and weaknesses and those traits differentiate her from the characters that came before her.

So Ahsoka is the one without weaknesses and has crazy plot armor. But Starkiller isn’t when he dead ass takes down a star destroyer and the entire imperial army by himself right?😂 makes sense

@@imyouralibi6208 How does she come across as a sociopath? Also she doesn't have to be tempted by the dark side to be a good character. Ahsoka comes across as an overconfident teenager at first. She's young and ambitious. But she is humbled through loss in the war and comes out of it was a greater maturity but also greater trauma.

@@shawnjones7295 Ahsoka has weaknesses. She loses a lot of fights and she even fails to prepare Sabine for being tempted by the dark side.

But that makes sense Jared. And Filoni doesn't have any lol

She think his death versus vader would be more appropriate, imagine the emotional shock that would have been felt. For me it was the best way for its exit. It would have made sense and no need to invent a mystical place that goes back in time -_-'

Yep

I think she should have died at Malachor. George wanted her to die but Filoni kept her alive anyways.

@@ironinquisitor3656 And as he hinted, she's alive past Rise of Skywalker, as well.

Facts. Ahsoka is a bs character who ruined Luke’s legacy

​@@rfdempire49 She broke the lore, before Disney. Yet the children and older fans who fell into TCW won't ever admit that show is extremely overrated, the same as Filoni. Look at what he's like, look what Rebels was without George there to hold his hand, yet he knows if he just gives them a half-truth, they'll make excuses for him. Like somehow trying to mentally erase him out of Star Wars Resistance, even though he oversaw the whole damned thing. It's dark times for Star Wars because he first pulled the wool over the eyes of fandom in 2008, and it's never stopped since then...

How is a character who never learned official light saber combat supposed to be better than someone who was trained by Anakin Skywalker himself and has had a ton of experience with war. Ahsoka is decades older than Luke. Wouldn't Luke being super OP at this stage just make him a Gary stue? I don't want that.

@@rfdempire49 You misspelled "Rey".

Luckily it's not true. The title is misleading you. Filoni never said Ahsoka was stronger.

Hey! Haven't heard from you in a while. Wondering if you're still interested in joining my SW group?

Dude, what Filoni says makes perfect sense. The character with more training and experience is better at lightsaber combat. Your bias is showing.

Lol goes to show how some people can’t stand their favorite character not being better than everyone else at everything

@@shawnjones7295 People seem to forget that George and Dave worked together to create Ahsoka. George was the executive producer for Clone Wars and had the final say on everything. He even went to visit the set of the Mandalorian to help Dave bring Ahsoka to live action.

Peach lies? Filoni never said she was stronger.

But Luke hasn't mastered light saber combat at this point. And why should he have? He had no Jedi master to teach him advanced lightsaber combat. Ahsoka learned a lot of her lightsaber technique directly from Anakin Skywalker himself. And she spent a lot more time with Yoda and Obi wan than Luke did. You sound like one of those people who defend Rey being the most powerful Jedi. You ignore all the time, effort, and experience that Ahsoka put in. How many real lightsaber fights did Luke get into? 2. How many did Ahsoka get into? Quite a bit more than that in just the Clone Wars alone.

He is wrong, Luke by that point is near his peak of his power, canonically he is the strongest Jedi, he should be taught by the force ghosts of Yoda, Anakin and Obi Wan. They are the ones who are his teachers past ROTJ, so why wouldn't he know who was teaching him sword fighting? He's just putting his own created character above the one created by George. There's no reason she should be considered his senior even with her age and experience.

@@rpgadventurer32 Luke may be powerful but he doesn't have the experience of Ahsoka. Ahsoka was taught by a living breathing Yoda, Anakin, and Obi wan. And she fought Ventrass, Grievous, Maul, Vader, and various Inquisitors to varying degrees of success. According to Filoni, Luke has surpassed the point he was at in ROTJ but still has more to learn. Even experienced people having more to learn is a large theme in both Lucas and Filoni's work. To quote Anakin in the Ahsoka series, you are never too old to learn. Also George Lucas was literally on set during the filming of Mandalorian season 2 giving feedback about the handling of Ahsoka - a character he created with Filoni - so I think he's fine with it.

I assume that Ahsoka has heard about Luke but maybe she just can't deal with anything related to Anakin or his legacy. I imagine she might also know that he's gone. Her relationship with Anakin was so strong that potentially she may have tried to suppress it or something. Who knows.

She was probably the greatest padawan during the clone wars. She would have been made a knight if she rejoined the order. And people always ignore that Vader held back in his fights with Luke

@@shawnjones7295 color me blind but in the return of the jedi Luke pummels Vader into submission. You mean to say that Vader held back in there and let Luke cut his hand?

@@SimoPortti Vader was literally ordered by the emperor to help turn Luke to the darkside. He was holding back greatly but he was caught off guard by how Luke used the darkside against him. If Vader really wanted Luke dead he would be. Luke didn’t even know how to block with lightning at that point

@@shawnjones7295 looks like there's different interpretitions on how the duel went on the return of the jedi.

I'd rather watch the older Stargate shows than check out any of the new movies and TV shows. I'd be more interested in new Legends books and comics, but Lucasfilm is too vain and petty to license any more of those.

Not true at all. The characters definitely have a character. It isn't the deepest or most complex Star Wars show by any means but characters like Mando, Ahsoka, Bo, and Boba have character and have stuff going on. And Moff Gideon has a pretty strong personality. Also Grogu has a good amount of character considering that he's a puppet who doesn't talk.

So true, and he has singled out the EU for sneering contempt and dismissive unconcern before Disney came around.

Nah. Filoni created some great characters. And this clip just shows how much care he puts into things. He made sure Luke's fighting style was well though out and realistic to what he'd be like a few years after ROTJ.

Unlike in the Holy and Sacred EU where he was taught Lightsaber skills by…

@@Longshanks1690 You're both wrong because none of this matters anymore.

@@Longshanks1690 Filoni knows jack shit about the EU, but he is good at skimming online. He sure does put in the most effort of anyone there, but quits halfway to go play with his toys.

@@bosuper9403 Ahsoka fanboy spotted

@@rfdempire49 not necessarily I’m just finding it hilarious of y’all getting so triggered beyond belief over a fictional character’s fictional power level being less of another. Like that’s so sad and embarrassing 😂

​@@bosuper9403 "It's fiction, bruh!" ignores that nitpicking is a guard of quality control. When you don't have that, quality suffers. And Filoni either is far more ignorant on lore than he likes to preen about, or he changes it in small ways to trigger nitpicking fans. It's just a minor, softer, more subtle variation of the constant gaslighting at Lucasfilm. This is not him having a gun to his head, either. He's just a smug little man who thinks he's more important than he really is. I mean, without George there to hold his hand, his shows don't get that much ratings. Rebels consistently got around under half a million views, and that's BEFORE moving it to Disney XD. That's fine for the few people who actually like his shit, but it shows his reach is VERY narrow, and always has been. This man is no savior of Star Wars. At all.

So true

Not really. There are valid reasons to criticize Ahsoka, but this criticism ain’t valid. That’s what people are calling him out for here.

Do you know what a Mary Sue is? A Mary Sue is a character with minimal flaws so you are objectively incorrect. You can't just call every female character you don't like a Mary Sue. Otherwise it doesn't have any meaning at all and the feminist types who say its sexist are correct.

@@datguy3581Have you ever heard of the Mary Sue subcategories such as the Black Hole Sue, Jerk Sue, and Neutrality Sue? Because Ahsoka perfectly fits into those three categories. Plus, her "flaws" are all surface level and have no meaningful consequences for her character since the writers incessantly sweep her mistakes under the rug and try to paint her as a saint.

@@imyouralibi6208 Her flaws are just as real and prevalent as any other Star Wars character. Most of the characters get painted in a positive light by the writers. I don’t know what your talking about. Ahsoka is constantly failing and dealing with consequences of those failures. But she learns from her mistakes to become a better Jedi. She’s a lot more complex than many classic OT characters.

Actually Clone Wars is canon and it looks like Ahsoka will have a big part to play in the future of live action Star Wars unlike Luke who is now just part of the past

@@datguy3581 Disney cannon which is just expensive fan fic

@@JDoe-gf5oz Not really

@@datguy3581 Disney Wars is not original Star Wars. That's just a fact.

@@JDoe-gf5oz Clone Wars was created by GL so Ahsoka was always canon long before Disney took over.

Well if you say it, then it must be true.

I can guarantee you Book of Boba Fett will have far smaller ratings than they had previously, for three reasons. 1) Grogu is gone, 2) The Jake cameo is over, and 3) The controversy around the Gina Carano firing, which had even certain mainstream outlets like Forbes getting in on the act, or late-night talk show hosts such as Bill Maher. If they're talking about it, that's bad for Disney Star Wars.

It isn't the deepest show ever but it doesn't need to be. It is fun, has some cool characters, and has some of that Star Wars spirit and magic.

It's a play-it-safe show, can't do anything risky after The Last Jedi.

@@virgogaming6488 I feel like clone wars proved you can go risky on tv though. Stuff like dedicating 5 episodes of clone wars to the Whills of the force could be considered risky but it paid off. I feel like the Ahsoka series may be the one that pushes the boundaries but we don't know for sure yet.

Filoni won't let his baby die.

In what universe is Ashoka a Mary Sue? 😂

But she isn't, actually is one of the most developed characters with Luke, Anakin and Obi Wan.

THANK YOU! Someone finally understands, unlike the droves of Millennial Ahsoka fanboys and apologists. I swear it's because they find a cartoon attractive, her character SUCKS and so does Filoni and his hack writing. Favreau is legit the only thing keeping the Mandalorian good and afloat with fans.

Lol you're a complete idiot, you have no idea what a mary sue is. Ashoka is one of the most developed star wars characters We saw her literally grow up in her entire arc. She started out as a inexperienced child that went through 2 wars and genocide.

I've wondered about that too 🤔

Yeah, I remember reading that Filoni pushed to give her a new design for season 3 which is much better if you ask me
