Really enjoyed that episode, glad they didn't spend the episode in the World Between Worlds. I still don't really understand, was that really Anakin? I guess his force ghost?
Lots of great moments, good music.. If this was supposed to be character development for Ahsoka I guess I don't get why she's changing, Anakin wanted her to choose to live??
Still really enjoyed it, best episode by far so far.
They did a good job of de-aging Hayden, I didn't find it distracting and I usually do (The Indiana Jones movie for example). And I thought he did a good job in the episode.
And I couldn't help it, when young Ahsoka showed up I was totally:
EDIT: Thinking of it more, it's not that Anakin wanted her to chose to live, but to choose to live how she wants to live. She asked if all she was was a warrior. Anakin talks about what it means to be a Jedi changes with the times, and she can decide what she thinks is necessary, she's not bound to being a warrior, Anakin tells her she's more, just like he's more. And at the end she doesn't kill him, she chooses a different path. Her own path since now she's Ahsoka the White. |
I had to go back and re watch all the Anakin/Ahsoka parts as well to really pay attention to what changed in her. I think you are right, it's Anakin showing Ahsoka that not only is she everything he is, and his masters before him, but she is more. She is growing past what he was and that is the whole point of the process.
Anakin is consumed by the hatred and anger that transformed him into Darth Vader, Ahsoka has a chance to match this and instead chooses not to, throwing away her light saber..
"Perhaps there is hope for you yet..." says a smirking Anakin that has seen this move before.
Everything Ahsoka did in her past combined with the smugness of the Jedi Council was the reason she left and walked away. Anakin forced her to confront this past and deal with it. Yes she was responsible for death and destruction, yes she was a 'warrior' and a tool. But she was also much more than that. And her ability to see through the lines has already put her ahead of any other Jedi that is or ever was.
Upon contemplation it is very well done. And i don't mind that it is a bit of a thinker or requires some knowledge of the existing universe.
