As noted I was kinda down on the season early, what a phenomenal turned around. This is the best Star Wars since the OT. By far.

To CC re: Ashoka and Anakin

Spoiler!

during the Rebels fight, she does say “I was beginning to think I knew who you were”. So perhaps they have had encounters before, just more passive. Or it could be because of what Maul told her.

I thought about that

Spoiler!

Remember that Vader said "The Apprentice Lives" Even Vader had thought she was dead. That can be one of two things.


Vader believed she'd been killed during Order 66. They could just have him believe that or what if Rex sends out a fake message to Stormtrooper Command?.


Or Vader had encountered her during the years and thought he'd killed her.


But her reaction during that dogfight makes me think that it was the first time she realized it was Anakin under the mask. I almost have to believe that Ashoka was so familiar with him that if she reached out to Vader through the force she'd know who he is.


Its funny, in the book Dark Lord the Rise of Vader, nobody knew who Vader was except for Palpatine and Bail Organa, and he only knew it because of Obi-Wan telling him that Anakin had become Vader. Obi-Wan didn't even know that Anakin had survived Mustafar until long after he'd banished himself to Tatooine when he saw a news broadcast talking about Vader putting down a Jedi rebellion on the Wookie home world.


I think in the new EU, there were two non jedi who knew who Vader was. Palpatine, and Tarkin had guessed it. Thrawn suspected it but didn't pursue it
