One thing I wished people didn’t immediately assume is that Vader was trying to trick Ahsoka when he says her name. He looks visibly moved when she says she won’t leave him, and it’s almost like a glimmer of his old self peeks out before it’s extinguished.

"Then you will die." From Anakin: A warning. From Vader: A promise.

I will never get over the fact that Ahsoka was the closest person besides Luke to saving Anakin. Only Luke could bring him back, but Ahsoka was the one who got the farthest before him.

Vader usually fights one handed with weaker opponents but switches to two handed if they last longer than he expects. So when he immediately fights with two hands it shows that Vader knows and respects how much Anakin has trained his padawan

It's funny how just about everyone knew what she was going to say.

Filoni had some big balls to portray Vader like that. Having part of his iconic mask shattered and all... Showing Anakin underneath... Fantastic job.

Fun fact: in the behind the scenes interview with filioni, when vader says, "Ahoska?" The first time it's Matt lanters voice over James earl jones' voice and the second time, it's James earl Jones over Matt lanters.

Ahsoka is the perfect example of making a badass awesome female character. Who agrees?

man it really hurt hearing that "ahsoka" after she cut his mask, you can hear anakins voice and it just hits you in the feels then when she says "i wont leave you, not this time" and you see his eyes you can tell that he felt that and it just makes me really sad knowing Ahsoka never got to see anakin ever again

I love how, every other time we see him, Vader is so quick to ignite his saber. But not against Ahsoka. And not against Luke. Against them, he doesn't draw his blade until they already have.

I love it how almost everyone said the line before Ahsoka did.

I like how their reunion in a Sith temple is a twisted inversion of their good bye in front of the Jedi temple.

This has to be the #1 best lightsaber duel from this show.

Every time I hear her say “I will avenge his death” and “I am no Jedi” it brings tears to my eyes.

When Ahsoka said "I won't leave you. Not this time." You can see Anakins eyes reminiscing about her. But the anger consumed him again when he realized she left him when he needed her the most.

“I won’t leave you. Not this time.” It gets me EVERYTIME

This sequence hit me like a freight train. We all knew it was coming, but that knowledge didn't even begin to soften the blow.

Feloni confirmed Ahsoka broke through to Anakin, however…. she was not enough. He lost everything to find power to protect and save Padme, That’s why only her Ghost and Luke ever broke through to him.

If you look closely, you can see Anakin’s eye pupil shrink when his lightsaber activated after he said, “Then you will die”. This truly has been the most heartbreaking part of the episode! Two characters who had a big brother little sister relationship even though they were a master and an apprentice and their last reunion ended up fighting each other! 😭😭😭

I was there when Primate dropped his first Star Wars video...I can say with certainty that watching him grow as a star wars fan since that point has been a tremendous thing to witness. Its like watching a child grow.

Darth Vader/Anakin looks so weary when Ahsoka says "i won't leave you, not this time"

The most heart wrenching part of this is when ashoka says "I won't leave you, not this time." - The way she says this is the whole punch. The first half, its the young girl, the loyal friend of Anakin who battled alongside him and shared in his jokes and humour. The second is an apology and a solumn promise. Sorry for leaving before, sorry for not being there when he needed her, and also the promise to put an end to his suffering and to let him br at peace. Anakin is momentarily taken back by what she says, he knows she means it and he looks stung, then Vader comes back out.

In my personnel opinion,this moment is Easlily *in the TOP 5 - Very BEST moments in the Entire Star Wars cinematic and animated history Combined* (for me that is)

For all the shit that get's flung at Rebels for being a subpar show it has to be admitted that some of the best moments in the franchise can be found here. This fight between Vader and Ahsoka and the fight between Maul and Obi Wan are two of the best scenes ever done in the Star Wars Universe.

"Then you will die" still gives me shivers and tears even after seeing the scene for the 50th+ time.

if only in the scene where they show vader's face with a half mask, after saying "Asohka" he blinks and his eyes turns blue, then when he blinks again his sith eyes return before saying "then you will die"

This and the Maul/Obi-Wan scene get me every god damn time 😭

I love that the show acknowledges that a lot of fans have been waiting for Ahsoka to square off against Vader since was introduced

People sleeping on the "revenge is not the jedi way" line. That's not just a sarcastic gottem quip. It is part that but, for just a moment, Vader falls victim to the familiar. Somewhere within him, and this shows later when his mask breaks too, there is still a part of Anakin remaining. And with that line, it creeps through. Vader could have said any number of things in that moment. He's known to be a hardass and contrarian in these moments, refusing to play by other people's social rules and flipping the script on them. He doesn't match the pace, he sets it, he doesn't get outsmarted, he dominates and destroys. But here, instead of doing that, he almost stumbles. "That's not the jedi way". Asohka is his student, and he is her master. He inadevertantly gives a lesson. Because that's what he does. That's what he's always done. The strength of the bond, the routine, it's enough to shake him if only for but a moment. At least that's how I saw this scene. And I think the only reason he wasn't able to completely dominate the fight afterwards is because "I am no jedi" was not part of the script for him. It didn't make sense. His world has always been sith and jedi, good and evil, right and wrong, one or the other. There was never a third option. He was expecting her to be one or the other, and she was neither. That was enough of a diversion to make him vulnerable here. This is why he falters. And his line wasn't just an ironic jab. It was a result of a mental stunlock.

I like to believe that Ashoka opened the doorway for Luke to save Anakin from the persona of Darth Vader.

Watch Clone Wars through all the seasons and this scene becomes one of the most powerful moments in Star Wars history

I've just binged all of clone wars and im now working my way through rebels for the first time. It just so happened that my roommate's boyfriend, who sorta convinced me to watch them in the first place, walked in as I got to this part so he got to see my genuine reaction the whole time. The way my breath caught when he says "Ahsoka" with the shattered mask with the layered voices just hits hard every time.

Top ten scene in all of star wars. Maybe top 5

Instead of Ahsoka, he should’ve said, “Snips?”

Ahsoka will forever be the beet female protagonist imo. Her character arc and badassery is amazing.

10:00 the guy is so excited 😂😂 but the woman doesn’t want to be there

6:55 that was such a "YE- oh shit my parents are sleeping"

Yet another reaction mash up to an iconic SW moment! Keep em coming

I love how every reaction everyone's just like "Ashoka please don't die" cause Vader is just that guy

This actually feels like something more than just Anakin and Ahsoka.... 'Anakin Skywalker was weak, I destroyed him'... when Ahsoka says that she will avenge him.... this sounds so much like the Son and Daughter from Mortis. Anakin was subjected to what the Son wanted (what is seen, can never be 'unseen', regardless of what the Father did), whilst Ahsoka was given the lifeforce of the Daughter, and a new, more powerful life. The parallels from the Mortis arc, and this episode is too much to be a coincidence.... the Daughter realises what the Son has done, and confronts him. In the battle that follows, she wins a couple of fights, but he eventually gains the upper hand... and this is essentially repeated here. When Ahsoka replies with, 'I am no Jedi'.... she is speaking with the aspect of the Daughter. It really takes a special focus in the force to undo the 'Sith bleed effect' on khyber crystals, to change them to pure white.... and it is not something that can be taught.

Came around to see this again, and finally noticed a detail: Vader fights Ahsoka by holding the lightsaber in both hands. He's taking this fight very seriously. You watch his appearances against the Jedi in "Rebels" and in other recent Star Wars media, and he fights other Jedi with the saber only in his right hand. I don't believe that's just chance. It's story design. It's a sign of arrogance and contempt: "I'll fight you one-handed just to entertain myself and make it seem fair." This fight caused him to snap out of that mode. Skywalker trained her very well, and he knew it.

Season after season we watch Anakin protect Ahsoka, love her, more than anyone......then to see Vader hell bent on killing Snips. Holy hell absolutely heartbreaking 😭😭😭

I don’t understand why everyone thought Vader was trying to trick her when it was that Anakin called out to her. His eye visibly changes color showing just a glimpse of change from Vader to Anakin but then Vader overcomes Anakin again. When I first saw that scene I thought exactly how it was supposed to. Frustrating people think he’s trying to trick her like are y’all really Star Wars fans? 🥲😅

I love the crazed and menacing look Ashoka gets in her eyes when she thinks Vader killed Anakin.

I love how "I am no Jedi" has become probably Ahsoka Tano's most iconic line out of all the media she's been in. It just held SO much weight to it when she said that line in this episode! "Revenge is not the Jedi way." "I am no Jedi."

"Then you will die" The clone wars Anakin VA saying that and the classic lightsaber startup.. bro.. that was the most badass scene i have ever seen from Star Wars hands down

Everyone was literally about to start crying in this scene, as if they were trying to emotionally preparing themselves for Vader killing Ahsoka.

“Twilight” was the climax of Rebels.

That point where Matt Lanters voice pops in... heart stab every time.

my master could never be as file as you favorite line ahsoka ever said

She’s no Jedi, she’s a CiViLiAn!

Goosebumps every time I see this

It's the little touch of bring Matt Lanter back for 2 voice lines is what breaks everyone's heart. Because in the first line Matt is more prominent, so you hear Anakin calling out to his apprentice. In the second line Matt is lowered so the Vader voice is the louder one, and is telling Ashoka she will die.

the obi wan series fight between obi wan and vader borrowed much of their fight from this

It’s heartbreaking to see the mix of horror and heartbreak on her face when she sees Aniakin under Vader’s mask really good detail

This episode and this scene still gets me all these years later. This was a powerful scene in the show. There is nothing like watching this show as it came out. The uncertainty and anxious anticipation when the season ended kept me on the edge of my seat and counting down the days to the next season. This was the episode that officially got me hooked to the show. And the music when they begin fighting was just perfect. It simultaneously conveyed the tragedy of what was happening and the inevitability of the battle.

“Use the force” that girl had me dead when she said that w those eyes🤣🤣

I’d rather watch this scene for 4 hours straight than watch Rise of Skywalker or Last Jedi. This scene is the perfect example of why Filoni should have done the sequels.

8:35 Make sure you catch Jesse she's still watching this series , So is blind wave but they're almost finished , and storm And of course itsaprimate all who I subscribed to...Soon they will be watching Twin suns episode .. Itsaprimate is the most genuine the guy in the end Because he's watching everything like how we saw it....he's not jumping anything he has no clue what's gonna happen.. All in release order.. Everyone else knows what happens to one of the main characters ,Because of the Mandalorian episode

When you think deep about it it’s so sad thinking about the clone wars show and all the memories together, Maybe I’m drunk but it just hit me

I like how all the sides and angles turned red at the exact same time Vader turned his lightsaber on while watching Gaxelle’s reaction (she’s cute, btw).

it goes to show how good Ahsoka is that she's on the very short list of people who fought Vader and lived

What made this more gut renching was she never met him when he was redeemed.

To think that in the Mandolorian/Boba Fett times, Ahsoka was in a totally different, more Zen and mature state of being and state of mind, knowing full well she IS a Jedi and acting like one too.

I don’t know if anybody noticed this. But for a moment, when Vader looked at Ahsoka, his pupil dialates. This happens when we look at something or someone we like, or have affection for, so he still cares for her deep down. But then his pupil shrinks again as his hatred returns, wonderful little detail they put in there.

Vader, who is notorious for his cold comebacks, couldnt find anything to say. Deep down, it hurt him.

Ahsoka is one of the best female badass characters that aren't cringe but awesome af

Second best line from the Star Wars world after “No. I’m your father” from Empire

Best moment in star wars history

I had to comeback to these clips after watching the finale of the Obi-Wan series. It's like everyone is taking a slice outta Darth Vader helmet 😆 🤣 😂 😹

I can't believe no1 geek out the way I did when she said "I am no jedi" till this day I go bat shyt crazy over that line

You know say what you want but I'd feel Ahsoka would make more of an impact on Vader than Luke would, sure it's his son but he spent so much time with Ahsoka. Either way this scene will always get me sad and excited!

It is crazy how when Ahsoka first came out, everyone hated her. Now she is one of the most loved. Now that is damn good character development.

Only thing I wished was changed is that they made him focused his rage after a blink like "that hurt but not enough to kill" That would show how deep he was in vader and how he swapped

i hope we get closure for Ahsoka and Anakin in the Ahsoka series

I love that they all knew exactly what was coming

It’s the best dialogue in all of star wars, totally epic

i feel like Ahsoka would've helped Anakin redeemed himself if she didn't say "I won't leave you, not this time" i feel like that line alone triggered something

I didn’t know that “I’m no Jedi” is such a predictable line until now 😂

11:00 “Master versus apprentice… never thought I’d see the day” Some guy with the high ground: 🤨

disney have the opportunity to release the best live action scene so far with this one

The audio mix of Matt Lanter and James Earl Jones when the mask is broken is everything

This scene is so emotional

When she said she wont leave him again, vader remember she walked away, and he just, well yeah.

He should have said Revenge is not the Jedi way, Snips and taken her head while she was stunlocked.

I didn't expect to be crying watching this

They put my boy primate up in here

Hy Eowyn from The Lord Of The Rings Hy Ahsoka from Star Wars "I am no Jedi" "I am no man"

Does anyone else remember Anakins' eyes starting as blue when he first says Ahsoka when his helmet breaks. Then, turning back to orange when he says, then you shall die. I could have sworn that's how the scene went when I first saw it. But maybe that was just my brain rewriting it. Would been better that way.

One of the most depressing fights in Star Wars 😢

Full body chills

love how Anakins eyes soften for a second when Ahsoka says she wont leave him again, before hardening when he puts the Vader persona back on

He taught her one last lesson as Anakin. *Revenge is not the Jedi way.* And she did it his way - the way he would’ve done - by saying he wasn’t a Jedi. Followed her master to a tee.

Anger didn't turn Ahsoka to the Dark Side. The Jedi masters were wrong. She's the first of the new Force.

You know with the scene resetting after the line, “Then you will die!” Is funny cuz the first thing you hear is “It wouldn’t be the first time!” Referencing obviously when she did die in the clone wars and was then brought back. Happened once in this video but was really funny when it did

such a heavy thing to carry, that if she had stayed by his side, he might not have turned......

You can see that anakin broke through for a brief moment till darth Vader to back control

Love this show 20/10

Oh she reached him for one second ... he didnt tried to manipulate her... it was this one moment where she was be able to reach him... in a matter of several seconds ... thats makes this scene even more sad because it wasnt enough -.-

Notice how surprised Ashoka is when Vader says her name. It's bc Vader didn't say her name, Anakin did. Edit: Ashoka took the right of Vader's mask; Obi-Wan took the left. Only Luke could remove it and bring Anakin back
