The line "You're never too old to learn" practically guaranteed to me that this was indeed post-redemption Anakin Skywalker.

Hayden acted this so well! I’m so glad for him!!!

Hayden looked just like in ROTS. Much better than the Kenobi flashbacks. The flickering into Vader was such an amazing visual effect. Younger Ahsoka did a great job. Greedily I wanted her to talk about broader topics with Anakin (mention Luke maybe?) but it was focused on Ahsoka which is understandable given its her show.

Now that... was amazing. Dialogue wasn't terrible for once. We actually explored Ahsoka's trauma, personality, and psyche. The flashback scenes were fan service that had a purpose and told a story that led to the proper characterization for Ahsoka. Seeing her laughing, smiling, and have this sense of optimism was all I was looking for. And that amazing white cloak and new headband! Best Ahsoka outfit followed by the Siege of Mandalore one.

One thing I noticed in this was just how damn good Hayden’s choreography was. I like Rosario as Ahsoka, but you can clearly see the influence of Nick Gillard’s training he imprinted into the character of Anakin. After more than two decades he still moves so much “faster and more intense” than any other lightsaber wielding actor from the Disney era.

The final lesson Anakin gave is accepting yourself imo. Take all the good and bad and carry on. Live or Die. Nothing in between.

the actress who played young Ahsoka killed it lets be real, she did an awesome job!

I noticed that Hayden's lightsaber skills in this ep are swift and powerful. Of all the lightsaber battles of the Disney era, this was my favorite

This episode truly was able to convey just how young Ahsoka was during the war more than animation I think could. Think about it, she was only 14 years old running into battle, the imagery of her running, barely being able to keep up with the soldiers in the first battle really showed how young and innocent she was. It was so artistically done

I thought the Fog of War was used perfectly. It really expressed the chaos and confusion Ahsoka felt on the battlefield during the clone wars and added to the thematics of this being a vision/dream-like state. Visually I thought this was a perfect episode.

His final lesson was mercy. He made her figure it out on her own.

This episode I was just smiling so much because of how much I was still in disbelief in seeing Hayden as Clone Wars Anakin. Hayden acted this so well making it feel like not a moment has passed since the shooting of Revenge of the Sith. Although I really wanted to see Baylan, Shin, and Sabine here; I really loved this episode. I haven’t been this excited about the overall future of Star Wars in quite sometime. Bravo Dave! 🙌 👏 🎉

Dave Filoni is not perfect but when he hits, he HITS. This episode was a gift for Clone Wars fans since 2008. 15 years in the making. Thank you Dave

Was a great episode I think. Anakin had Sith eyes for a few seconds. The young girl playing Ahsoka did do a awesome job.

Loved it. Was it a bit of fan service? Sure. I'm a fan. Please.. service me. Also, my 24 year old daughter who grew up with the clone wars was watching it with me, and her reactions were off the charts, Making it all the more fun for me too. This is top tier Star Wars. I would love to see more of this version of Anakin played by Hayden.

Hayden shows us, once again, how the OG handles his lightsaber. Of course, he has been Anakin for 20+ years and probably taught Rosario a thing or two, just like the in-story relationship. What a treat. 🙏

Seeing pre suit Vader with the red saber is terrifying.

As a Lord of the Rings fan, I think this was the best way to introduce Ahsoka the White! It was poetic, I felt like Rosario’s overall performance even changed to more optimistic.

It’s funny the things that get people excited. Obviously it was awesome to see Hayden play Anakin (I’m not a prequels fan but it’s still nice to see him come back), the clone wars scenes were cool but the thing made me the happiest was hearing Kanan’s theme as Jacen sensed the lightsaber clash. As a huge Rebels fan it was such a nice moment.

I thought the pacing was like the rest of these Disney+ episodes, but the writing, oh man it’s such a drastic difference from other shows like ObIWan, Boba Fett, Mando S3. This ep felt like I was watching Clone Wars all over again

It’s almost 3am and I’m up still thinking about this episode.

Hayden Christensen's Lightsaber Skills remain off the chart! His acting was spot on as well. It's always a JOY to watch Hayden play Anakin and it was a bonus to see him in his Clone Wars armor. Episode 5 of Ahsoka was the 1st episode I enjoyed, I actually LOVED it. From the WBW to Clone Wars Battles. From Captain Rex to the wonderful Young Ahsoka (same actress played Young Gamora in Avengers). And whether Ahsoka was actually in the WBW or it was all inside her head, it doesnt matter. It was impactful to me either way. It was WONDERFUL to see Ahsoka's SMILE & JOY reappear after her extremly wooden, emotionless portrayal for the first 4 episodes. This was my 2nd favorite Live Action TV Episode in Star Wars History (#1 was Luke Skywalker kicking *ss in the Mando SE2 Finale). Filoni needs to be put in charge of ALL creative decisions for Star Wars NOW. 9.5/10.

Dude, Hera is so the mother of the year. Brings her son to work, trusts his judgement , trusts him to not wander and listen to her and when Jacen ducked behind Chopper that came from Hera. That young man being such a good young man is a testament to her being a good mother. 😊

This is one of the best Star Wars we've gotten. What made it so great was the story of Anakin and Ahsoka. Master and Apprentice. Seeing Anakin embody both sides of himself, the Jedi and Sith, was great to see. This is someone who doesnt run from the monster he was, the demon that was born on Mustafar. He has accepted his mistakes and now seeks to pass this lesson on to Ahsoka. Seeing her as a teen in live action really explains why she is how she is. She was a child soldier, taught to fight and kill. She keeps asking is this all i am? Will i fall like you? So, Anakin shows her the monster he was for 25 years of his life. He unleashes that and she is able to hold the blade to his throat. All she has to do to become like him is give in and let the darkness win. Instead, she tosses the blade aside. She has passed the one lesson Anakin never could. Ahsoka has learned to let go. And with it, comes the end of the lesson. "Is this all i am?" Only if you choose to be.

First of all, man does Hayden still have some crazy lightsaber skills! I could tell that his skills pushed Rosario to really up her game for their dueling sequences and it showed, for our benefit! Young Ahsoka was perfection! The lesson he taught her was right on point…”Live or die.” That was the lesson that he always taught her, how to survive. And this particular lesson fit perfectly with the lesson he taught her in Tales of the Jedi against the clones…”Live or die.” It’s reminiscent of that scene in The Shawshank Redemption when Andy tells Red just before his escape, “Get busy living or get busy dying.” That’s what it boils down to, she had to choose to live, no matter what her past was and no matter what her future has in store for her. She chose to live and in doing so became Ahsoka the White.

She realized that she can be more than her past and that she can train Sabine to go even further than her. With each generation of master and apprentice the best of each masters teachings is what ultimately gets passed down

This was simply AWESOME! I loved the young Ahsoka and the flash backs. So cool. I really liked the actress playing her young self and for me the smoke fit the scene perfectly with some simply gorgeous cinematography with the Vader flashes. Loved it through and through.

Really enjoyed this and hope the show ends strong. Theres obviously some flaws but theres enough good too I think. As for the lesson I do believe it was Anakin training her to let go of her attachment to him and forgive herself as theres nothing she could have done to save him. And that she needs to CHOOSE to live for herself and her own destiny and not live in Vader's shadow. I also really love the Rebels callback when she said "I won't fight you" and Anakin replied "I've heard that before" which was during their encounter on Malacore in Rebels as Vader. So its interesting he has all his Sith knowledge as well as a force ghost too.

Hayden was absolutely top notch, acting was spot on, lightsaber skills are next level, which only serves to widen the gap between him and rosario. All in i loved it as a fan of clone wars and rebels.

They doing our boi Hayden some justice. And goddamn does he deliver. I grew up on the clone wars, been bullied for it, and boy does it feel good to see live action General Skywalker. I only wished it was longer. Some more emotional dialogue on the Jedi Order, master/padawan legacy, reconciliation, etc. Hell, I would’ve loved an entire episode of them just chatting casually. Like about obi wan, Padme, Luke. Perhaps another time. Phenomenal episode

Anakins final lesson for Ahsoka was the lesson he learned from Luke at the end of rotj. To let go of her fear guilt and anger. It was a really special episode.

Young Ahsoka (Ariana Greenblatt) is collecting franchises. Avengers, Barbie, now Ahsoka. Hope we see more of her in Star Wars.

Anyone else think that Ahsoka just effectively went through her final test and having passed it, is finally, a fully fledged Jedi?

Very entertaining episode, beautifully cinematic and theatrical. It didn’t even feel like it was part of the same series as the first four episodes. In fact young Ahsoka (Ariana Greenblatt) did more for the character development of Ahsoka in mere minutes than the adult version was scripted to do in the first four episodes!

Hey Thor, this episode actually reminded me more of the episode where Kanan Jarrus had his final Trial,since he also never completed his training..He also had to face flashes of his past in a test,while "physically" facing off against against the Grand Inquisitor,who revealed himself to be a Jedi Temple guard when he officially knighted him.When Kanan asked "What does this mean??" He said "It means that you are now what i used to be..Kanan Jarrus..Jedi Knight." We knew back then that it was a trial because the Grand Inquisitor dropped off a ledge into fire in the previous season,yet it was really cool to see him as he used to be,before turning to the Darkside.

The episode was genius! Filoni summarized a lot of what Non-Fandom viewers needed to know to slowly bring them up to speed on who Ashoka is and the emotions and experience that have been built around her, as well as her slowly but surely coming to the realization of what she is and what she will become.

As someone who grew up with The Clone Wars, I can't even begin to explain how happy I am. It's surreal. The visuals were a little scuffed, but the fact that they accomplished so much in a single episode of Star Wars TV is incredible. Especially de-aged Hayden, it was genuinely impressive how perfect he looked in that armor. However, I was a bit disappointed with Rex, despite him being one of my favorite characters. He looked amazing, but was criminally underutilized, and Tem Morrison's voicelines were too monotone IMO. Overall, it was amazing, and I can't wait for more

I like how they portrayed Anakin as the chosen one in this episode - he is more composed and it seems he's able to switch between dark and light at will now

This just makes me want a live action Clone Wars.

A few thoughts. There was so much more scope for Ashoka to try to understand more about Anakins turn to the Darkside. He's trying to give her a lesson, but the first thing she should have done was question his motives and why she should trust him etc. All in all it would lead to his flaws that she thinks she has, and they could fight whilst having a heavy and dramatic talk/argument around it. Rex could have piped in with a heartfelt comment about Jedi, their place and hope. It was almost there. It was a good nostalgia and the scenes were right. The dialogue lacked depth, for me.

Words can't describe how incredible this episode was. Easily on par with Luke in Mando season 2, if not better. Glorious, from start to finish.

I think the big lesson for Ahsoka was simply not to give up the fight because of the fear of losing the people she cares about. She experienced losing her Clone troops on Ryloth, being away on Mandalore while Anakin fell, and dealing with blaming herself for him becoming Vader. Anakin's lesson was a) showing that he's more than Vader and "there's still good in him," and b) that she has to keep fighting and pushing forward no matter what, because Jedi don't give up.

what a fantastic episode! 10/10!

By the way that last scene in Rebels could technically still happen. It could be even further into the future. Sabine looks happier in the rebels scene, wich wasnt the fact in the ahsoka disuse episode. Sabine was in a bad place, du was Ahsoka. I believe when the Ahsoka show end, the rebel ending can technically still happen.

You can feel the love that this show was made with when you watch it, its got so much more heart than the other disney era shows and movies which feel like obligations rather than passions; Dave really stepped it up for this project; give this man a trilogy of films!

Hayden was magnificent. Anakin incarnate. Let us take a moment to be grateful for what we have in him. I admit to having a soft spot for cute, chubby little birds- our state bird here, the California Quail, is ridiculously adorable- but I'd love to see Morai at some point, even if just a fly-by.

Thank you Dave Filoni 🙏 He was George’s Padawan. Now he continues his legacy as a Master.

Young Ahsoka was mind-blowingly good. I was amazed by the young actress.

I grew up with the OT and The Clone Wars was something my nephew and I both loved to watch together. During this episode, my nephew was giggling, tearing up, hootin' and hollerin' and never used the back of the sofa once. This episode was, by far, the most fun we've had watching Disney Era Star Wars. Andor is a close 2nd most fun. Thank you Dave. 🙏

Hayden still has it. Those moves during that fight with Ahsoka just wow. I have to admit I re-watched the flashback sequence multiple times that was extremely enjoyable. Dave did an awesome job. I know you don't have a poll out for this episode but if you did this is a 10 Stars it doesn't get much better. Everything from the Kanan name-drop to the world between worlds, and the final sequence with the pergil. This one episode felt like mini movie. And I am pleased.

This is how you do fan service in flashbacks. Make already established scenes even BETTER. The animated show didn’t really capture the fact that Ahsoka was a kid thrown into a full fledged war she had zero control or understanding over. All she could do was…fight and survive like the episode reiterated

I think his final lesson was to let go of the past, and everything that’s holding her back. She is more than just what her master taught her. I just love how Dave kind of left that lesson up to interpretation in a way. Such a banging episode. Really loved it.

This episode had the best lightsaber fight by far. Hayden hasn't lost his touch over the years. Unlike the early fights in Ahsoka, this fight felt more like the prequels. It had the aggression that those duels had.

This is exactly what I expected. It's just standard Dave Filoni: Make mid show with mostly filler, and then get characters from other works that have unfinished business or moments we haven't yet seen, and make them interact to create that one good moment in the entire show that people will actually remember for a long time. Everything about Ahsoka and Anakin in this episode could've worked in complete isolation from the rest of the show, because it has nothing to do with it. This is about the girl we saw during The Clone Wars, and her master who we saw being redeemed in the movies. It's unfinished business in their relationship, and something Ahsoka needed to go through as a character at some point. It heavily reminds me of the Obi-Wan vs Maul duel in Rebels. It's a moment that works completely on its own, because all the heavy lifting to grow and develop those characters and get them to that point their lives, was done in a completely different show or movie. This is why I fully expect that the moment when Ahsoka and Luke first meet is gonna be great (if we ever see it) , but I highly doubt the show or movie surrounding that moement won't be mediocre. This is the peak of Ahsoka. This is the one moment that I'll probably rewatch from time to time. But I'm pretty sure the rest of the show will go back to being the same as it was during the first 4 episodes.

One of the things I really enjoyed about this episode (the best in the series so far, in my opinion) was that I was expecting the episode to end at a point that I thought would be premature and would annoy the hell out of me. (I never looked at the time bar for the episode.) Fortunately it didn't and left at the perfect time for the next step in the story. Just disappointed that Hera, Jacen, and Zeb (and The Ghost) were not along for the ride at the end. Now, in addition to Ahsoka's rescue of Ezra, we also need to further explore the incompetence of the New Republic Senate and how many Imperial infiltrators are holding senatorial office...

Who uploads a Star Wars video at three in the morning?! Thor Skywalker: Oh boy three A.M!

I really liked this episode, but i also expected the Ahsoka & Anakin stuff to be more profound. What was the lesson? I also wanted them to talk about what happened the last time they saw each other, hear how much Anakin regrets his time as Vader, talk about Luke and how he redeemed him, and we still don't know where Ahsoka was during the OT. It feels like Dave could have gotten an A+, but settled for a C+ or B-. It was good and cool to see, but there wasn't a big takeaway.

I love your channel because you give a fair assessment of Disney Stars Wars. You justifiably criticize when it is warranted and you also give credit when credit is due. Unlike Nerdrotic and those type of KZfaqrs you don't biasely bash anything and everything that is Disney Star Wars and that is why I keep coming back to your videos after every episode of Ahsoka.

This episode was a fever dream, it didn’t feel real, and I mean that in a good way. Seeing Anakin and Ahsoka fight and talk to each other was amazing. It was an emotional episode, and so enjoyable to watch. I loved this episode.

I genuinely feel done after watching this. I was on the edge of my seat for the first 25 minutes. Every second it kept cutting back to Hera looking for Ahsoka, I kept yelling “no” - I didn’t want them to find her so we could get more of WBW, Ahsoka and Anakin. Hayden was absolutely brilliant. His lightsaber dueling was completely ROTS. They 100% nailed his look in all moments. The flashes to Vader were incredible. And Temeura as live action Rex!! But in the end, as many have already said, I don’t understand what the point was of the entire sequence. “Inside you is all of my knowledge?” Making the tough decisions? Ahsoka being willing to kill if needed? The end of it seemed unfairly abrupt, and the fact that the rest of the episode was again moving at a snail’s pace, back to the speed of Episode 1 and 2, had me beyond disgusted. I don’t have the energy anymore. The longer things dragged on in the second half, the more I yelled at the TV in disgust. What a total disappointment of an episode, after an absolutely mind blowing start. This episode was supposed to be the highlight, yet it ended up being the biggest letdown.

The episode was amazing in some ways, and somewhat confusing in others, and maybe a bit slow paced again in spots. I was also a bit lost on the “lesson” or “meaning” of her interactions with Anakin. It was vague and used a very wide and large paintbrush but I suppose it’s hard to peg because there’s no defined or focused issue Ahsoka is struggling with beyond her struggle to connect with and train Sabine. Ahsoka did seem to make some kind of transition toward zen, represented by her apparel being more like her “Ahsoka the white” look and her seemingly content, accepting demeanour toward the precariousness of travelling with the whales and such. Anyone else mildly jarred by seeing her without any headdress? That was weird!

It's episodes like this that make me proud to be a star wars fan. From start to finish this episode gave me joy and really put a smile on my star wars heart. Seeing Clone wars flash backs, the settings, costumes and vehicles... just wow. Even the siege was just wonderful. As 3PO would say THANK THE MAKER! This episode was very very much needed to bring HOPE to the star wars world.

The fight between Obi-wan and Vader in Kenobi should have been like this fight in Ahsoka, not an phisical fight, but a fight through the force. It would have made a lot more sense lore-wise, plus it could have been contextualized as a test to become a force ghoast (like Yodas in CW), with Obi-wan finally geting over his guilt that Anakin turned to the dark side (like Ahsoka did in this episode). This just shows you how much Filoni cares for and knows Star Wars, and how little the people behind Kenobi did.

Has anyone else wondered why we haven't seen Morai in this series yet? I thought for sure she'd show up in the world between worlds.

It’s just awfully nice for Hayden to come back and do a good amount of anakin acting. The tragedy of Hayden Christensen is he missed out on the clone wars/prequel renaissance. Matt Lanter was playing anakin and it was animated. As someone who dressed up in a Darth Vader costume to go to the midnight premiere of Episode 3 when I was 14, it was so great so see Hayden with young Ashoka. I’m really happy he got to do that

I actually really liked that the lesson wasn’t super obvious and is up to interpretation from the viewer. After the episode dropped I have seen tons of comments about what the meaning of the lesson is, all slightly different with the same general themes and I think that is pretty cool.

Loved seeing Hayden, and it's the best Anakin has ever been... but there was nothing of worth discussed. The lesson is to want to live? When did Ahsoka ever say she didn't want to? What meaningless vague platitudes. How about having the entire episode dedicated to just Anakin and Ahsoka talking - she could feel some guilt over leaving Anakin and the order, and could blame herself partially for Anakin turning to Vader. She could ask him why he turned, and try to have him rationalize it. Then in return, Anakin could feel remorse than half his life was spent as Vader doing evil, but Ahsoka could remind him that his son was right that there was good in him, and he was redeemed and WAS the chosen one by defeating the sith and bringing balance to the force. We didn't get anything even close to anything profound, or anything that these characters actually would have talked about. I mean Vader killed her, until Ezra used this exact same world between worlds to change time and save her! Why would she not bring that up??

I think jedi in general can use a bit of psychometry, especially if they have a connection to the item, the people involved, and more or less know what they're looking for like Ahsoka does. But then Cal and Voss on the other hand have a much greater talent to where they can basically walk up to a funny looking rock and start hearing conversations from the Old Republic or something

I felt so much in this episode. It genuinely felt like there was true love and emotion behind this. Anakin flickering in and out of being Vader was just amazing, I wish we got to see more of him in the suit. Beautiful episode.

This episode was such a good tribute to us Clone Wars fans. Going from the very first battle you see Ahsoka in to the very last, absolutely loved it. Hayden’s lightsaber combat continues to be the best looking out of anyone. I’d love Luke in a future project to have a similar encounter with anakin

the name of the lesson was literally "live or die." i took the lesson to be that in order for her to live, she needs to let go of her fear of her legacy being only about war, and continue fighting. she asks anakin "what i want to stop fighting?" and he replies "then you'll die." in the next vision, she reiterates her fear of what her part in the legacy will be, and anakin says "you've learned nothing." ahsoka finally accepts this at the end when she tells anakin "i choose to live," meaning she's telling anakin that she will continue to fight, regardless of her fear. the message probably could've been made more obvious, but it's the for the audience to piece together!

Ahsoka: Anakin! You used to be such a p*ssy…but now you’re a badass! Anakin: You’re old. Ahsoka: ಠ_ಠ …

One underrated thing is the Siege of Mandalore flashback had so much dust or smoke or smog. In TCW, it was always really awkward how nobody was taking cover ever. It makes so much more sense when cover is all around you.

I’m so glad for what you brought up in the beginning of the video! My husband and I were just talking about this last night. We thoroughly enjoyed the episode, 50 minutes felt like 15 minutes, and I loved the clone wars dream-like sequence. And even though people will have reasons to say it’s dumb or pick apart every piece of it, we liked it, and don’t need to let others ruin the fun for us.

I know its good Star Wars when I get that tingle in my spine. Hope this is the length and quality continues for the rest of the season

If there's a retcon I wouldn't have minded is Jacen's appearance. It would have been great to see him more in line with other Hybrids we've seen like Shaeeah and Jek Lawquane.

Now THAT was the rematch of the century!

Aksoka is cooking now!!!

It was an absolutely incredible episode! Such a joy to watch, just like you said. Seeing Anakin and Ashoka in their clone wars looks in live-action was something else and the lightsaber fights and visuals were incredible. It's always such a pleasure seeing Hayden Christensen again ESPECIALLY when you put a lightsaber in his hand. Truly he's unmatched in terms of live-action lightsaber wielding. And seeing the visible change come over Ahsoka at the end was lovely. Not just the white robes but like a weight had been lifted from her shoulders. I think Anakin's lesson was simply to accept the good and the bad as part of who you are and live on. As he said, she is all of him, all of his knowledge but that's not all she is. Vader wasn't everything Anakin was and so what happened to him isn't everything Ahsoka is either. She needed to accept it and choose to live on.

I still find it hilarious this episode can be seen as Anakin Mansplaining why Ahsoka's first decision was the correct one and explaining it by reliving the glory days... Making one of the best episodes and demonstrating what a "modern audience" and fans want to watch.

I feel like the rarity with different force abilities is more that their natural affinity or talent with those abilities. You can see how Ahsoka, a seasoned Jedi with decades of force usage, is straining to use those abilities where as Kal’s ability to sense memories was effortless and often involuntary.

Totally agree with your observations on what the lesson that Anakin was trying to teach Ashoka was. It was not clear or made as profound as it seemed the episode should have had.

Anakin looked so good that it was a bit hard to watch knowing Hayden isn't so young now. But that's a meta issue, not as much real one. All transitions of Anakin between his appearances were PER-FECT. Also those slow shots at the beginning of episode, I need more of that. Show just gets better and better. P.S. The first episode where Ahsoka was definitely the protagonist of her series.

Reading thru other comments and watching other reviews, im under the impression that the lesson to learn is that ahsokas path and thus her apprentice's path (sabine) isnt one littered in death and the darkside. Yes it will have death and darkness and dangers. But that one can live and choose not to kill. One can choose what they will do. Ahsoka can live her life and "fight the good fight" and not be afraid of becoming a vader or creating the next one. At least this is my head canon, i do wish dave couldve better communicated what anakins lesson was or have ahsoka voice out her enlightenment moment better. If ahsoka in live action now has more of that spirit and life she "lost" from animated series, i will call it fine and be excited for her renewed character.

This episode really had a lot that I loved. When I saw the clones in Phase One armor which we haven't seen since Episode II Attack of the Clones I lost it (in a good way). It was also awesome seeing Rex in live action in his iconic armor. I will admit I was a bit caught off guard hearing Temuera Morrison coming from him since i'm used to Dee Bradley Baker playing him but I got used to it pretty quickly. And yes I know Dee Bradley Baker does the clones in animation while Temuera Morrison does the clones in live action, I'm just really used to hearing DBB as Rex.

I haven't seen any comments about the realm they're in. To me it's not the world between worlds due to, there being no doorways or portals. For me it was the nether region of the force where she was taught a lesson and had the choice to live or die. She needed to understand that she was more than her past, and she needed to forgive herself and move on. It wasn't her fault that Anakin fell, it was always meant to happen.

Haven’t watched Star Wars hunched over on the edge of the couch like that since the Mando S2 finale Great stuff

The music at the end of the episode, it just was a really beautiful and inspiring track. Kevin is bringing his A+ game to this

As someone who has been a strong critic of Disney SW, I thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Just wish it, like every other episode, was longer!

"Criminal Under Usage of Rex" Indeed!

Ok, first half of episode is terrific. Hayden looked incredible and yes, so much better than at the end of ep 4 which is super weird. But the new republic needs to sort it's self out. A crew is murdered, massive hyperdrives are stolen and they refuse to send anyone on a lead to investigate. Yet a general takes their personal private ship and a flight of Xwings follow her to said planet and the republic will send THREE of their fancy new capital ships to bring her in? Really?

love you thor, you rock

Thoroughly enjoyed this episode! It was really nice to just sit back and be happy with what was done.

I usually work out at home while watching shows, Ashoka included. Last night, when young Ashoka showed up I just put the weights down on the floor and sat my ass down to watch. It was a very nice moment 😊

The lesson she learned culminated when she threw the red lightsaber you could see the darkness in both of their eyes. Her throwing it away was her realizing she was him but the best parts and for him that was his final parting from Vader and his failures

The clone wars memories felt more like Anakin taking Ashoka through her own memories. And memories are never fully complete; their often foggy outside of the immediate details. In this case it was literally. And it was perfect.

Hey Thor, I must agree with you in every aspect of how I felt while watching this episode sing Anakin in his clone wars armor alongside a young Asoka with her green light saber, was everything I had hoped to see when the series was announced.

In Rebels, both Kanan and Ezra physically disappeared into the "visions" when they were in the Jedi temple on Lothal. I believe the same thing happened to Ahsoka. She was there physically until she learned the lesson and the Force sent her back. Also I see this as part of her Jedi Trials, her facing her inner darkness.

I loved seeing Post-Vader Anakin, him being able to switch between light and dark when needed with but a few breaths

LOVED IT!! Anakin’s final lesson to Ahsoka was to *live* not just fight to stay alive. She had disconnected from everyone and everything out of her gears of turning into Vader that she forgot the lessons of the Jedi as Anakin had taught her. Despite her walking away from the Order, Yoda did say she was basically a ‘Knight’ when she did, and in many ways she embodied what a true Jedi was. Once she figured out the lesson, we saw true Ahsoka emerge, hence Ahsoka The White: full of life and with a better understanding of how to live, which will hopefully translate to better teaching Sabine how to connect to the living Force.
