I will never get tired of Hayden wielding a lightsaber! so effortless and fluid

The shots of anakin transitioning in and out of vader were so well done

“that’s from my script” i’m sure it was pal

Did you notice how she disarmed him just like Anakin disarmed Dooku (but without the hand chopped)

I do not want people to miss it, and not appreciate Hayden Christiansen's performance. If you guys have not noticed, Hayden is imitating how Matt Lanter sounds like from the animated series. Such a brilliant way of Hayden connecting the two characters, this man is really dedicated to HIS character Anakin Skywalker. He deserves all the flowers, making us relive our childhood hero!

Hayden still got it man. Still the fastest and coolest lightsaber user even for his age. The chosen one indeed.

Disney needs to use Hayden more... this was great but his Obi Wan scenes were glorified cameo. They must not miss out on the screen potential of Hayden Christiansen and Ewan McGrehor like they did with Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, and Carrie Fisher. Gotta get them in some great projects while they are still young. McGregor has even said he wanted a season 2 of his show! (But please make it good if it happens...) and Hayden deserves ALL THE praise he was phenomenal in this! You can tell he watched the Clone Wars based on how he acted compared to the prequels!

Only theory thinks someone reads his scripts 😂😂😂😂

It happened! Ahsoka the White! Clone Wars flashbacks! Just a phenomenal episode. Hayden Christensen was absolutely incredible! Glad to see a little bit of Tem as Rex as well. Dave Filoni is the man! Favorite Disney Star Wars content since Mando Season 2!

I think this wasn't in her head, Anakin brought her to world between worlds somehow, that's why she wasn't showing in the radar and Anakin knew things like when she says "I won't fight you" and he says "i've heard that before" referencing his duel with Luke.

If u noticed young Ahsoka was also Young Gamora

Now all I need is to see Kenobi in his Clone Wars armor.

They really improved upon making Hayden look young. Very impressive.

Seeing all this live action is blowing my mind. This was well done. Credit to Hayden, Rosario, the actress killing it as Clone Wars Ahsoka and thank you Dave Filoni. My daughter and I were full on blown away. More of this show please.

Great episode but Ahsoka without the headband is a very cursed image

It makes you realise if Hayden had decent scripts his potrayal in the prequels would be even more off the hook.

holy fuck Hayden is him...best portrayal of Anakin yet. KEEP HIM AROUND

Hayden still got it, holy shit! And I love seeing Hayden smile, it made me so happy!

That Revenge of the Sith style saber fighting from Hayden was straight up lightsaber porn. Also I am glad someone else finally noticed phase 1 Rex chilling in the background when Anakin and young Ahsoka were talking

I am 29 years old. My mum took me to see Phantom Menace in the cinema when it first came out. After that, I was hooked. Never has an episode of any Star Wars series made me feel like this. Anakin was my childhood hero. Thank you Hayden Christensen, Thank you Dave Filoni and I hope you see this but thank you @starwarstheory for uniting us fans for something that we all love and feel the same passion for. I fucking love you Star Wars.

This episode made me the most hype for Star Wars in years. I honestly haven't felt like this since I was a 16 year old watching Revenge of The Sith in theaters. The Clone Wars flashbacks got me hyped & the Siege of Mandalore was so good that it felt surreal. We got live action Clone Wars Anakin, Clone Wars Ahsoka, & a live action Captain Rex finally.

Clone Wars was my childhood and watching this feels like a dream come true

Dave Filoni absolutely cooked. Thank you Dave.

I can't believe what I just watched. Dave seriously brought everything together here. From the prequels, to the Clone wars and Rebels.. THIS was Star Wars at its peak. Absolutely Incredible, thank you so much Filoni

Hayden is truly the greatest lightsaber wielding actor ever. Ewan was great as young Kenobi but Hayden truly showed us what a chosen one master Jedi should look like with a saber. I’m just glad filoni has brought attention to Hayden’s amazing job as Anakin as he got so much hate when he was simply doing what George Lucas wanted him to do as Anakin. Looking back, there couldn’t have been a better Anakin Skywalker.

It was incredible…there are no words for how the episode treated us the prequel/clone war fans. This is Star Wars. Absolutely incredible

I literally started jumping for joy every time Anakin was on screen!! This show is absolutely amazing!! I want more Anakin!!!!😊🥹

Ahsokas eye color switch to mock Anakin was such a snips thing that detail was awsome

Godammit we need a live action Clone Wars show NOW! 😤😤😤

Did you catch how anakin said pretty much the same thing to her as vader in the sith temple? She basically says she's not going to hurt him, and he says "then you will die". Gave me goosebumps.

I loved it. I think they left the Anakin sequence a bit too early. A few more memories with Anakin and it would have been much better. But maybe we aren’t done with them. The younger Ahsoka was fantastic

More proof that we all want more of Hayden in starwars and that he literally is Anakin Skywalker the choosen one

Young Ahsoka's lightsaber technique was epic. Seriously, a live-action Clone Wars movie with Hayden, this young actress, and Ewan Macgregor would just be incredible. They could do an epic-scale movie around a decisive moment of The Clone Wars that introduces young Ahsoka to new audiences, shows her relationship with Anakin, and fits nicely between Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith. It would likely get thousands of casual viewers familiar with Ahsoka's background who have not watched Clone Wars and Rebels. There needs to be a live-action bridge between the animated shows and the prequels to attract new viewers. It would almost surely guarantee more viewers for the future exploration of the High Republic on Disney+ and beyond.

Love seeing Anakin fully embrace the wise old master with cryptic life altering lessons to teach.

Live action Clone Wars complete with Hayden’s Anakin interacting with Ahsoka and a cameo by Rex. This episode was not just fan service but a love letter to Star Wars fandom. We love you too Dave Filoni. May the Force always be with you.

seeing captain rex in there, i shed a tear

I don't think we could've handled it, if she actually fought Maul in those "flashback"

I kid you not, I have been in tears through most of this episode and was pretty much sobbing loudly in happy tears during some scenes.

I know we all want more Anakin but this is the first time Star Wars has given us this feeling in years, leaving us wanting more.

Did anyone else notice that Ahsokas saber at first looked a very light orange when she and Anikan started to fight?

This episode was awesome! Dave Filoni saved Star Wars

Biggest takeaway from this episode is that we need a live action Clone Wars series with Hayden, Ewan, Temuera, and Ariana (young Ahsoka actress) STAT. Those flashbacks were amazing and Anakin and Ahsoka’s chemistry was spot-on 🔥

In Dave we trust 🙌🏿

Anakin is pretty much carrying this show at this point

There should have been some dialouge discussing Anakin's fall the darkside. All we got was deflecting of the of the topic with "is that what this is about?" From Collider: "Ahsoka’s “training” stands in the place of actual storytelling. By driving Ahsoka and Anakin straight into a duel, we’re robbed of dialogue and character moments that could heighten the story that Filoni is attempting to tell."

This episode showed Anakin as a true representation of the force in balance. He used both sides, light and dark, to train Ahsoka. If he was nor in balance then he would have lost control like he did in ep 3. Notice his eyes were red like the Son's and not yellow like sith.

I think one of the best things this Live action did is highlight how young Ahsoka was during the Clone wars. Even at the end. You forget because of animation how young some alien characters actually are. She was still a child.

WHENEVER HAYDEN IS IN AN EPISODE.. ITS JUST... It just feels so good man.. Can't we just pls get a him more.. MORE HAYDENNNN MORE ANAKIN

I think Ezra's gonna train the kid.

you don't need a clone wars live action show. the animated show is just that goated.

You have to see the Chosen One more than a mere human and more as an entity Bendu with Anakin as the light Ashla and Vader as the dark Bogan.

star wars theory thinking dave filloni copied his script is for sure the highlight of my year. Unbelievably arrogant.

How is nobody mentioning that Ahsoka's eyes went sith yellow when she had the lightsaber to Anakins throat?! The little details prove why Dave is the GOAT!

“Dude that’s from my script” 😂

When you make a movie franchise about space knights with 5 decades of fandom where people are literally flipping out over a laser-sword move (Anakin’s behind the back twirl), you know you’ve done something very right

This episode was so good! Anakin gave Ashoka a gift that she needed. Her guilt about leaving him was 20 tons being lifted from her chest. I'm so happy he said they were finishing her training and he reminded her that she is everything he was. Now she will feel worthy to fully train new padawans. I totally understand why Disney put this in theaters. I hope Dave Filoni understands and feels all of the well deserved love from the fandom. This episode gave me goosebumps.

Young Ahsoka is Ariana Greenblatt. She was young Gamora in Avengers: Infinity War and she was also in 65 with Kylo Ren himself, Adam Driver.

Hayden Christensen is a national treasure & he must continue being in Star Wars for a very long time! Also we still need de-aging, face CG & voice AI technology to bring old characters to life again!😊👍🏻

Young asoka is the same actress that plays young Gomora in avengers, she's a real gem!

I really love the hints of Ahsoka's theme in The Clone Wars till the Siege of Mandalore and they used the theme of the Ahsoka vs Vader theme from Rebels when they parted ways. Also the hint of Battle of the Heroes and Duel of Fates blend in when Anakin turned into Vader was so epic!! My favorite is the scene where young Ahsoka looked in horror when she sees Anakin walk into the fog of war and flashed into Vader and back.

This really was her final lesson to become a jedi by her master. She always thought that she couldve stopped him from becoming vader if she wouldve stayed, but he showed her that vader was always in him even before they met and he was destined to turn to the dark side. She also thought that she could turn to the dark side if all of him is in her. But she chose not to kill him. Thats how she firgured out that shes different and thats why he said there is still hope yet. Also I really do think that Anakin is now the pure balance between light and dark and that that was really him after EP 6. Because he remembered that luke and she herself said to him "I wont fight you" before. But I am really sad when i remember what we are heading to....ep 7-9

I like at the end of there meeting, it took a bit for Anakin to pull himself back from the dark side, it wasn’t just a switch, he had to really focus to pull himself back, it shows he grown so much since he became a force god or apart of the force or whatever

1:19 IT'S OVER, AHSOKA! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!🤣

Ahsoka the White yeah yeah, when they really don't have own ideas

Glad they pulled a Gandalf the grey into Gandalf the white

"How was he?" Huyang: *order 66 ptsd flashbacks* "Intense."

Can we all agree there needs to be a Clone Wars series. Just that little time back in the war was so well done. We need to make this happen people.❤

Damn it'd would've been more satisfying to see Anakin take on his traditional Vader form at the end there when he kicked Ashoka back to the WBW.

3:20 was the coolest moment of the Anakin/Vader scene. The way he walks is pure *chefs kiss*

Bald Ahsoka can't hurt you, she's not real. Bald Ahsoka:

Now this is a 10/10 episode! Dave really knocked it out of the park here!

This episode was absolutely incredible. One of the best Star Wars things I’ve ever seen. Seeing a live action recreation of The Clone Wars and seeing Hayden as Anakin as well as a live action young Ahsoka and Rex was all something I’ve wanted to see for as long as I can remember and it was handled unbelievably well. I hope we see more things like this. I’d love to see a live action Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka, Luke and Rex talking. As a massive Star Wars fan, this was everything I’ve ever wanted to see and more.

Dude I couldn't believe my eyes watching this. Young Ahsoka, Anakin in his Clone Wars outfit and the damn Vader transitions with Hayden even playing pre-armor Vader with a RED LIGHTSABER?!? This is stuff I didn't think I would EVER see. Honestly just give Dave full creative freedom and make him in charge of the entirety of Star Wars at this point. He knows what the fans want. We want more of THIS! It is obvious Hayden still loves playing Anakin. Just give him his own show at this point man. Hell, just make live-action Clone Wars with whoever played young Ahsoka in this. She was phenomenal! And man, my true respect for Haydensen. He finally proved everyone of the haters wrong when thsy said he was a bad actor. Look at what he can do with a great script. If anything failed him in the prequels, it was the script! Hayden deserves all the praise!

I got way more than I was even asking for. I got things I didn’t know I was asking for.

I'll say it again, Dave Filoni needs to own Star Wars. Facts!!! I had so many emotions watching this episode... its the most 10/10 Star Wars that I can remember. Hayden nailed it and seeing Anakin again, just wow... 😢

Wait. What do you mean they stole your script? I'm confused.

I haven't noticed many people pick up on it but when Anakin tells Ahsoka "You lack conviction" you can hear that his voice is merged with Vader's voice which I found really cool. It's like what they did in rebels + kenobi except instead of it being a broken/glitchy vader + broken/burnt anakin combo it's anakin's full voice with vader's full voice

“Someone leaked my episode 2 and 3 script” 😂😂😂😂😂

i really liked it, I just feel sad about them being too afraid to use Luke as they should

We got clone wars live action and siege of mandlore

What an episode! Knightfall Anakin/Pre-suit Vader at PEAK LEVELS is absolutely POWERFUL! No wonder Darth Sidious wanted Anakin! We all just witnessed peak Vader using a small fraction of his abilites to teach Ahsoka a lesson....if he was trying to kill her, she would NOT be able to stop him. That's mind-boggling and evident in this episode!

"Never seen her without the.... head thing" I lost it lol

Say what you want but I'm all for seeing Hayden again. Much less him vs Rosario. Now that was crazy. I'm still trying to make sense of it tho, kinda. I get that he is teaching her a lesson but he seemed darker towards her than usual. Maybe that was the point? I hope we get to see more of him. And we got to see Rex! For like 3 secs but I'm all for it guys! I still need to see how this is gonna end.

If anyone isn't a fan of this series after this episode, they're just wrong. Just wrong. This was amazing. All Hail Dave. What a great episode.

DUDE HELL YES! WE NEED A LIVE ACTION TV SHOW ANAKIN IN THE CLONE WARS!

I definitely don't think it was in her head. We saw in Rebels that the world-between-worlds can be accessed by powerful force users, and Anakin's one with the force now, it makes sense that he can exist there if he so wishes.

Was really hoping Lizzo came back for this one

Dear Disney, just let Dave Filoni run your shows and mobies. HE gets it. Sincerely, All Star Wars fans

The young actress also played young Gamora in Infinity War and the teenage Latina in Barbie.

3:50 Why is no one talking about this? “someone leaked my script for episode 2 and 3” OMG so this is what you were going to do?? Wow!!! You need to change it now. I can’t even begin to imagine how you feel Theory💔

The people who are disappointed with this episode are clowns 🤡

If Disney did a live action Clone Wars series with Hayden and Arianna as a young Ahsoka, that show would BLOW UPPPPP!!! 😱😱

1:09 love his reaction as mine was the same seeing the legendary Hayden spin move ❤

Can you hear that? It's the sound of Theory jacking it off to Anakin and Feloni. 😂

Never liked the sequels and from that point, especially ep8 and 9. I didn't want time travel or alternate timelines until then. Now more than ever, I desperately hope they retcon the sequels. Let's say Ep7 to ep9 were a premonition of what could be, but what we have now is a rewriting of that future. I cannot believe things fall so far from where we are to the sequels. Even if Thrawn just fucks everything up, I still do not get how we lose spirit Anakin, Ahsoka, prime Luke, Mandalorians, and so on.

Dude! Disney doesn’t care about your script 😂😂😂 ! Do you really believe that they would use an idea you might had on their show?! Hahaha. stop being a crybaby. Sometimes you have an idea and someone else has a similar and nearly exactly one to yours. Please.

Anakin is truly the chosen one. I think he's attained perfect balance and has assumed his place in the cosmic force as the embodiment of a Mortis god, likely the Father, or a representative of all three (father, son, daughter). He can manipulate all facets of the force to his will, and seems to have power in the World Between Worlds like we haven't seen. DAVE...

Ahsoka is so lucky. Her master is both a Jedi and a Sith. He is fully capable of teaching her all aspects of the Force.

To all haters of this show.......................................................................................................................LET HIM COOK!!!🖕🏽🔥

The people who pre-emptively hated on this show don't deserve to enjoy moments like this. They need to just stay away from Star Wars content and let the rest of us enjoy it and appreciate the beauty of Filoni's vision. I'm really tired of folks in this community / online industry using this show to generate clickbait hatred and push their agendas. This show has been a dream come true for so many long time SW fans who grew up watching Clone Wars & Rebels.
