Anakin is no longer a Padawan. He is a Jedi Knight. That is why he could train Ahsoka.

Kim may be the only reactor to notice Rex warned Anakin when Ventress tried to Mind Trick him.

The thing is, Palpatine is in control of both sides of the war. He's telling the Jedi to get Jabba's son back, in order to establish good relations with Jabba. At the same time, he's telling Dooku and Ventress to sabotage those efforts. But no matter who succeeds or fails, Palpatine is the ONLY one who wins. It's not as simple as “oh he's lying to the Jedi, but telling the truth to Dooku and Ventress ". He's playing both sides at the same time, and no matter who seemingly defeats who, Palpatine is the only winner at any given point of the entire war.

Okay, incoming. You have been warned! 😆 First things first, I loved the reaction, and congratulations on getting sponsors now!! I'm proud of you! Next, technicalities. Anakin became a Jedi Knight immediately after Episode II. Battlefield knighting for his service on Geonosis. You see it at the tail end of the episode when his padawan braid's gone in the wedding to Padmé. This means that he's graduated from Obi-Wan's tutelage all through the Clone Wars and Episode III (and becoming Sidious's apprentice is actually a demotion). It also means Obi-Wan is free to take another apprentice, and Anakin as a Jedi Knight can train his as well. Qui-Gon was cleared to take Anakin because he released Obi-Wan for his trials to become a knight (unceremoniously, dismissively, with not a lot of respect for Obi-Wan's abilities, just so enthusiastic to take Anakin). Obi-Wan was able to train Anakin because he also received a battlefield knighting after defeating Maul. Training an apprentice to knighthood is how a Jedi Knight becomes a Jedi Master. When an apprentice calls their teacher, "Master," it's a courtesy. When that apprentice becomes a knight, their teacher is a master in truth. So Obi-Wan is a Jedi Master with a seat on the Council in Episode III largely because he trained Anakin to knighthood. It is implied he and Yoda conspired to get Anakin Ahsoka to teach. For Obi-Wan, it was probably another lesson intended to teach Anakin to be less reckless and to take responsibility for someone else (and probably also gratifying to see Anakin struggle with someone as stubborn and rash as he is). But Yoda, in addition to speaking absolute truth about Anakin's ultimate weakness when he referred to Anakin one day having difficulty letting Ahsoka go, also alluded to something he himself hoped for Obi-Wan. You said it: Obi-Wan is always cleaning up Anakin's messes. He is the galaxy's BIGGEST mother hen. Anakin is a Jedi Knight now, but Obi-Wan still hasn't let him go, and he really doesn't until the Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show, where Vader himself in a moment of grace gives Obi-Wan the comforting lie Obi-Wan later tells Luke Skywalker. That is the moment where Obi-Wan finally accepts Anakin is no longer his responsibility, no longer his to carry and save and mourn. And in my opinion, there is a large extent to which Obi-Wan's care for Anakin enabled Anakin to rise to the heights he did without self-reflection, as you note. Without dealing with the consequences for the bad choices he made and his character flaws. For a long, long time, Obi-Wan did more than forgive Anakin: he covered for him. If Anakin went in and cut a bloody swathe, Obi-Wan picked up the pieces. If Anakin was rude and temperamental, Obi-Wan was there to charm everyone into forgetting it. Obi-Wan knew about Anakin and Padmé and let Anakin stand in his dishonor and hypocrisy because he couldn't give Anakin up. Anakin is Obi-Wan Kenobi's one glaring weakness and his biggest hypocrisy. It's not necessarily true that Anakin never respected him. More accurate? In the heat of his temperamental moments, Anakin rarely *listened* to Obi-Wan. But he adored his master and thought incredibly highly of him. It's canon in the prequels. He says it. Obi-Wan is like a father to him. Anakin thinks Obi-Wan is as powerful as Mace Windu and as wise as Master Yoda-i.e., Obi-Wan is as great and good as the greatest and best of the Jedi. Anakin learned *a lot* from Obi-Wan. It's highlighted more in Obi-Wan Kenobi and the EU materials because Episodes II and III are more straight-up adventures less concerned with the development of Anakin and Obi-Wan's relationship and more with its state at those time periods. But Anakin also had a lot of frustrations with Obi-Wan as a master. Many of them were planted and encouraged by Palpatine. But not all of them. Obi-Wan was stingy with praise. He was always quicker with a sassy one-liner than a compliment, always telling Anakin the ways that he was messing up. (I think part of this was Obi-Wan's own insecurities, and part of it was how he had learned to teach from Qui-Gon, who was even worse, but it was a thing.) Obi-Wan always hovered. It made Anakin feel untrusted. (In reality, it was Obi-Wan's love that made him hover; if anything, he trusted Anakin too much.) So when Anakin got his own padawan, he set out to be a better master than his own. And one of the saddest things is I do think he managed it. Anakin doesn't always teach Ahsoka the right things. He teaches her a lot of his own flaws as a Jedi and as a person. But *as a teacher,* he is much warmer, more trusting, and more laid back than Obi-Wan. He protects Ahsoka without babying her. He lets her face responsibility for her own mistakes but also always has her back. He encourages her when she needs it but also challenges her. He is amazing. And it's terrible that when we see him in III, he isn't a master-because something's gone wrong. I so look forward to seeing you react to their journey.

If you want to see how it goes when Ahsoka realizes Anakin became Vader then, after Clone Wars, it’s time to get into Rebels. That show is seriously underrated by many.

There is Star Wars: clone wars 2003, that shows how Anakin got the jedi knight "degree"

I can't wait for you to get through Rebels, Mandalorian, and Book of Boba Fett, and especially the Ahsoka show.

Here’s a fun fact. Hutts possess the ability to reproduce both with a partner and on their own, and have been known to change their gender whenever they wished. Jabba’s son was created by him alone. It’s also why some Hutts are more androgynous in appearance.

Anakin's already a Knight during the war, he no longer has his Padawan braid. Jedi and their Masters still use the original titles for each other as a form of respect.

37:10 checks temperature with completely robotic hand Also 41:41 Qui Gon really did leave an impression on Anakin. He had the best chance of being the teacher Anakin needed

Jabba did deserve the title, he truly was powerful, even during the time of the Empire.

1:00:30 “I hate sand. It’s rough, coarse, and irritating…and it gets everywhere” Dooku basically used Anakin’s kryptonite

100 points for the Hercules/Sovereign reference.

Anakin is a Jedi knight before this movie.. there's actually a different series that covers that and shows the ceremony where he's knighted, also kind of shows you where he got the scar and when.. even when they're knighted their master sometime still Calls them Padawan, like Yoda fights Count Dooku Yoda calls him my Padawan

The way it works is that you start out as a youngling which is basically a Jedi child, then you become a padawan a Jedi in training, when you finish your training you become a jedi knight and can take on your own padawan, when your padawan finishes their training you then become a jedi master, when you've fully trained a certain number of padawans (not exactly sure how many) you become a grand master.

BTW, if you haven't already I highly recommend watching the animated show Star Wars: Rebels. It's set between Episode 3 and Episode 4 and deals with the growth of the Rebel Alliance. Without getting into spoilers, I have a feeling you may enjoy some of the characters who turn up.

I just finished the Clone Wars series myself. It was phenomenal!

As the great Chase Young once said: “teaching is the only path to learning.” By helping Ahsoka become a respectable Jedi, Anakin compels himself to be one in kind! ….Or that was the theory.

I saw this movie in theathers back in 2008, I was only 3 y/o. And this was the this got me into Star Wars, and for alot of people their heroe was Spiderman, Batman or Superman, for me was Anakin Skywalker, this Anakin Skywalker.

41:41 Ahsoka’s theme song is ICONIC (it starts with only 3 powerful notes that’s immediately recognizable, followed by 5 more). It’s in its small and simple flute stage in this movie, but her theme grows orchestrally, mirroring her character development throughout the show. When you’re done with The Clone Wars, look up the compilation of the times her theme was used, it gives complete goosebumps

Anakin is a knight at this point, and why he wanted the rank of master, as it was the next step. Also, I’d suggest watching the clone wars chronologically since otherwise issues arise, like wondering where Ahsoka came from, or not seeing an arc to completion before jumping somewhere else entirely.

Oh this will be fun...

I love this show and I love your reactions! Unfortunately I currently have family problems and I am not sure when I will be able to get to it but I am sure I will love it!

Kim, there is a cartoon in 2d animation from 2003 and 4 , called Star Wars the Clone Wars, it shows what happens in the CLone Wars and what happens to Ani and Padme right after they get married, and shows the introduction of a new villain, or two, or three and also the introduction of Dooku's new padawan, ... Asajj Ventress, it is in two parts on Disney plus or on some youtubers playlist of 25 , 3 minute episodes

6:12 That's Commander Cody. He's Obi-Wan's top clone. 7:30 Anakin is no longer a padawan. He was made a Jedi Knight shortly after Attack of the Clones. 26:38 The idea to have Ahsoka be Anakin's padawan was actually the work of Obi-Wan and Yoda together who thought it an important lesson for Anakin. 33:29 Keep watching to find out. 45:35 He can't die. Oddball is in the opening scene of RotS.

Anakin in The Clone Wars is written to match how he was during the beginning of Episode III.

Thanks, Kim! 🌠 I saw this one on the big screen. The following series reaches heights of greatness.

Dooku claims to have the morale high ground over the jedi but becoming a psychopath isn't exactly the best evidence of that. Seriously he's a menace in the clone wars

Love that you're watching this! I myself just finished my Clone Wars journey 2 days ago and I have to say, the last 4 episodes of the last season is basically one of the best Star Wars "movies" out there.

Anakins criticisms of ahsoka is a simple psychological concept of seeing the worst in others that we hate about ourselves

​​Who would you like as a mentor? Qui-Gon? Obi-Wan? Anakin, Yoda? Who? If you would like more Clone Wars Content. Check out my Patreon/KimEllendale

Anakin prepared Ahsoka for everything she will have to face later... Including order 66...

The female Jedi, that you pointed out in the beginning of the video is Luminara Unduli

*Jaw Drops when she says maybe they'll frame the Jedi for killing Jabba's life.* You sure you haven't seen this?

If you look at his armor its almost the same but without the cape.

i forget jabbas age but its within 100 years or so of yoda there are species that live longer then yoda i think the oldest jedi during order 66 was like 1100ish

I chose to watch this movie over The Dark Knight in theater and I don't regret that decision

I have never been so hyped to watch a reaction in my life

Every victory for the Republic, is just another addition to Palpatine's future Empire.

Anakin had already become a Knight (notice his hair is longer than in Attack of the Clones lol). Therefore both Obi-Wan and Anakin could have a Padawan. As for Anakin's maturity, he's definitely more mature in the Clone Wars and at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith (when he is a Knight) than he was during Attack of the Clones (when he was still a Padawan). Even his dynamic with Obi-Wan improved. They were friends, not just Master and Padawan. I feel his nightmare about Padme dying interrupted his progress, made him lose his mind, he became desperate, the Jedi offered no solutions, and well, we all know how things ended. Watch Rebels (series) once you're done with The Clone Wars. You'll get your answers regarding how Ahsoka feels about Anakin becoming Darth Vader.

Yasssss! This is were more fun begins! And you will see you will fall in love with so many characters in the clone wars🤩

This was actually my first star wars movie in cinema. It was really good as a kid and the perfect start for this damn good series

At this point Anakin is a Knight, not a Padawan anymore. Dont forget to watch the Clone Wars animated microseries from 2003, they iconically introduce Ventress in those as well as Master Luminara Unduli and her Padawan Barris Offee. Although not canon anymore since the 2008 CGI series, the microseries also shows Anakin being knighted. Don't forget that that small series also indroduces General Grievous... I'll let you meditate on this. Anakin seems more "mature" just because he's in his element, war and adventure. As long as there is some action, he'll be alright. Ironically, there was no better Jedi than Anakin to be fighting in the Clone Wars. He's not the contemplative type. Hutts have a very long lifespan, hundreds of years if I recall.

also, there's a big reason why ahsoka doesn't appear in the movies you'll see why plus the movies wasn't part of her story destiny whatever you wanna call it

Yay, my first livestream with Kim

Rex is our guy. And so are all clones!

I’m glad you shared this reaction and I hope you do the same for the final arc in season 7 (when you get there). This show is amazing, especially once you get to season 3 and onward. It adds so much depth to the characters and the prequels. But the final 4 episodes are a masterclass. One of the best Star Wars anything (better than many of the films). Hope to see that someday on KZfaq. Of course, if you find any story arc particularly good, you could drop them here as well… Enjoy the journey…

Great reaction, but I am curious why this wasn't watched before the show.

After Clone Wars, watch Rebels before you watch the Ahsoka series. Aside from the "I want to know how Ahsoka reacts to Vader" question you voiced, you'll also learn a lot about the other characters that are featured in the Ahsoka show.

That may seems like a série for kids, but SWTCW is a pure masterclass !

Star wars the clone wars is so cool Am so happy you're finally watching it

WHOA! A long one! Thanks!

I really look forward to seeing you react to Clone Wars Seasons 6 and 7.

You should watch and react to “society of the snow” great emotional foreign film that was nominated for an Oscar this year

Pleeeease show us some of your reactions of the series, here in youtube 🥺🥺🥺🙏🏻

Please watch the clone wars in chronological order

That series takes place before Star Wars Rebels

I can suggest watch The “star wars clone wars 2003 show”.It’s Worth it, it can give wef detals. And it’s fun as always

I would like to recommend Star Wars rebels the animated series.

So is the show a pattern only thing?

Awesome 😎

Hoops see clon wars series KZfaq

Hah...the GoT king quote hehehe....well also "Maedhros laughed saying: 'A king is he that can hold his own or else his title is vain." J.R.R.Tolkien hehehe. Well Jabba as a Hutt is probably vain and has big ego hehe, as a leader of his own Hutt cartel, controlling the local underworld, riuch and powerful and so on hehe. Hutts are prone to debauchery and are self absorbed in their glory, well as a species the Hutts ARE powerful, they control their own vast portion of galaxy, their Hutt Space, basically ruling their on little 'empire' though it's not really formal like that hehe. They control many planets and whole species are serving them and they have vast influence over ENTIRE galaxy's criminal underworld (though of course ther are myriads of other criminal organizations out there).

Hey, will you ever publish your Clone Wars reaction on public youtube in time or will it always remain patreon exclusive

watch more clone wars here on youtube

After the clone wars you should watch the star wars Rebels series

I loved this movie when it came out. As usual with new Star Wars content, it got a lot of shit from the fandom menace.

Anakin si not longer padawan, he is a jedi knight

1:02:16 😂

This is the only version of Anakin i like.. And clone wars is probably the only star wars i like

I know you won't; but you'r missing episodes 7, 8 and 9!!

Wouldn't say Anakin never listened. He still followed Obi-Wan's orders, even if he disagreed with it. Obi-Wan was quite disrespectful to Anakin at times too.

Now that you have watched all of the Star Wars movies (of worth), you have to watch the Indiana Jones movies. Should be a great time for you given your apparent infatuation with Harrison Ford

You are my mommy now. You said it.

Seasong 7 samtime episod 3

:D

People really get emersed in trying to tie all the stories together but yes the Clone Wars was an after thought. Lucas once said if he had all the time he would have done something like the Clone Wars for the movies but admitted he just could not have all that story in the movies. So after Lucas was done with the movies he created the Clone Wars animations as a vision of what he would have liked to expand on. So nothing really fits together except in the minds of fans.

i can't figure out your accent...sometimes it sounds British 🤔🙈

Fair warning: The Ahsoka series is not that great. It's got its moments, yes. But ultimately it's rather meh.
