Moron is a step up from Mary Sue, but still, I'd prefer no morons.

Sabine has been reduced to the chick in a horror movie who hides behind the chainsaws, except she's not allowed to die.

Best episode yet.

Whoever the girl was that played young Ahsoka was fantastic.

That's how you do an episode.

She was excellent.

Even the fight with Rosario and Anakin was a lot better. Still suffers a lot of technical failures, but at least they were moving and managing distance.

Hopefully it's building momentum and not blowing it's load.

They made Anakin look a LOT more fierce than Ahsoka has looked throughout this series.

That savagery I've been mentioning clearly existed with Anakin. The strikes had intent behind them and there was speed to burn with everything he did.

Yeah, it was the best fight thus far, but I do think it made me suspend disbelief a little - she still looked noticeably overmatched when you just look at the respective abilities and it just took her being defensive the entire time to make it look even semi even.

Not sure how they made Anakin look that dynamic but I still think they do Ahsoka a disservice in how they're mapping out her fights.

I need to rewatch the fight, but I think, especially early on it was purposeful. Remember she said "I won't fight you." So it makes sense she was defensive. It wasn't until after the flashback, after he disarmed her, that she got mad. And I will say when she yoinked his lightsaber and held it at his neck, I was like GODDAMN.

So I think there is an argument to be made that she was just blocking his attacks and it wasn't until she lost her weapons and he was going to kill her that she entered the fight in earnest.

And I probably wasn't clear, I really appreciate the story arc. Her needing to accept her place in life rather than trying to compartmentalize Anakin away, as well as the relationship to and responsibility for the padawans. I won't lie, I was pretty eye-rolly with her scenes with Sabine, but I appreciate it much more now, and I'm excited to get them back together. It needed patience, but as of today, I'm happy.

I think that is the “lesson” Anakin was trying to communicate. She has to want to live. After leaving the Jedi order, losing Anakin to become Vader, and seeing the New Republic slip into disarray, Ashoka has been trying not to lose….both in relationships and lightsaber fights.

Ashoka has been playing the Jedi equivalent of Martyball.

Anakin showed her that she has to fight to live. Has to quit going through the motions and quit trying to run the ball on third and four.

I think Ashoka’s lackluster lightsaber performance is about to turn a 360 and her next lightsaber duel will be ‘more free and unlike anything so far in the series.

Yes. Good portrayal of young Ahsoka after the Clone Wars had been grinding on for a while. Best I've seen of Hayden Christiansen.

Spoiler!

Seems Ahsoka has addressed the lacksadaisical fighting style brought up in previous posts. Behold, Ahsoka the White!

Ariana Greenblatt. She played Young Gemorah in Infinity War/Endgame. She was excellent

When I was watching her performance, I thought she wasn't just acting like she was just playing Ahsoka. She was playing Rosario Dawson playing Ahsoka which was incredible. The way she spoke and the sound of her voice sounded so similar, just in the voice and the body of a teenager. I was really impressed.

Yes. Exactly how I felt.

There might be some potential here for a live-action Clone Wars spinoff. The de-aging tech is working REALLY well now.

Anakin parts makes me wish they could re-shoot the prequels.

I'd LOVE to see a no-suit Vader.

That's awesome. Thought she looked familiar but couldn't pinpoint it. She was awesome as Ahsoka. She was also in 65 which is where I recognized her from.

[Buehler445]

I should point out that all that was straight up telegraphed from the start, but still the best episode. Just goes to show, tell an inspired story well and all is well.
