When I first watch the clone wars I didnt know what the end was and the whole time anakin was corrupted but not yet Vader I was waiting for him to be snapped out of it but that moment never came (in the clone wars
Yeah fr so sad and heartbreaking but I call bullshit the anakin in clone wars woulda sliced up palpatin the moment he found out he was the Sith Lord no hesitation
@@joeyschroeder5179 no,he wouldnt have! the same story and scene goes in clone wars,as it does in the movies.before order 66 when he found out who was the sith lord,he wanted to kill him but hesitated coz he believed he was the only one who can help him save padme,so...he reported him,wanted him arrested,but mace windu wanted him dead and there is where all fell apart,thus turning him dark and order 66 happened.
@@mihaicolceriu-nicola7148 nah man still call bullshit he would of been smart enough to know sidious was lying and manipulating him the whole time and it would of been on fr
whats crazy about this, is that had ahsoka killed Barriss Offee when she was infected with the hive mind, she may not have been expelled from the order and she may have been able to save anakin from falling to the dark side.
@@coasterfanleo3831 or fallen with him after all Ashoka is a Grey Jedi. All she has known as a Jedi was war. Would be so cool if Darth Vader ruled the empire with A sith Ashoka at his side
@@Kairac112yeah what’s great about Star Wars is how many moments in the story are what happens in real life when you look at everything other then the force.
@@ch4rliegaming man, Anakin loved Ahsoka so much, whenever they imprisoned her, you could see it in his eyes he wanted to rip that place apart (and he could’ve lol) it’s just so damn heartbreaking.
@@rxthhh3 the strange thing is that anakin only knew luke as his son and that too they met for few minutes a few times while ashoka was his former padawan who he could do anything for. But for some reason luke was able to bring anakin back to the light but ashoka could not. That rebels epidode broke the entire cannon if im being truthful as ashokas words should have had more impact than lukes
Ahsoka had the best development. Young, impulsive, and annoying. Then she grew up to be patient, smart, and powerful. Becoming one of the greatest Star Wars characters ever. And one most beloved by the fans. Seriously in the top 5 of all time.
Yeah, she was so perfectly written - I barely even remember being annoyed by her back in the day, and did you hear that apparently she was written that way on purpose? For us to be annoyed by her at the beginning?
One detail I really like about her leaving the order is that it is revealed that in a way, the Jedi Order does not care about her beyond the power she possesses for them. But individual Jedi do care about her. What I mean is that Plo Koon is the only Jedi Council member who actually apologized to her. Saesee Tiin and Mace Windu both claimed that that experience was a trial that "the force" willed them to put upon her. Obi Wan was also about to follow Anakin out the door to say goodbye to Ahsoka, but Plo Koon stopped him. To me, this reinforces the fact that Plo Koon, Obi Wan and Anakin were the only Jedi who really cared about doing what was right for her and the rest saw her as a tool for the Jedi Order.
Not just that Its like that in real life if someone sees something they can benefit from you They will manipulate you thats why you need to be independent Especially when it comes to family My brother and i Were the youngest siblings that actually cared about our family future and wanted to make our family comfortable as far as their lifestyle but as soon as my older brother got money used me to get what he wanted he basically threw me to the curb even though i pretty much worked like a modern day slave to this day he forgot about over a decade of me working for 20-30% of the labor i put in to make multiple business opportunities for us and at the end he was the only one to benefit from basically free labor I should have known better and not believed a word he said from day 1 my life would be so much different especially for the better but GOD puts you on a path for a reason and i finally know that he’ll never change Money is the root of all evil For most Its just so fucking weird that I had to learn this the hard way especially after loosing the woman i loved more than anything in this world besides GOD and my mother this is coming from someone who lost their father at a very young age May GOD REST HIS SOUL BTW i’m the youngest out of 14 total brothers and sisters And not 1 of my older siblings give a flying fuck about me Anytime they ever seen me start to do good they would do everything in their power to lie and try to destroy my current life by any means necessary Jealousy is the worst especially when your jealous of your younger brother And without him my other brother would have nothing I know now knowledge is power And this day forward i will do everything and anything to gain more
The Anakin and Asohka final confrontation in Rebels is a top three scene in all of Star Wars media. The stakes, the acting, the impact. Right up there with “I am your father.”
Yeah. Like when you think of it, she looked up to him and he wanted to protect her every way he could. Years later, he’s the one she needs protecting from, but she doesn’t need that protection because of him.
In the end , ironically , it was the Jedi that turned Anakin to the darkside. He was let down by the very people trying to help him. Leading him to suppress his emotions instead of working through them. Clinging to the old ways , the Jedi destroyed themselves. The real tragedy is not Anakin's fall to the darkside , but the failure of the Order that pushed him away.
How great that in hindsight all this was needed for Anakin to become one with the force in its entirety. Embodying the entire spectrum of both the light and the dark. A lesson he sadly only learned just in time right before his death. Luckily being able to pass all his knowledge and legacy over to Ahsoka.
6:50-7:05 breaks my heart how Ashoka says “The last time I saw him, he was rushing off to save the chancellor. The War ended and the Jedi were accused of Treason, one by one they’re were hunted down”😭💔
Funny, but in real life this happens: losing one you love the way Anakin lost Ahsoka, can elicit an even more powerful grief response than if they actually died. Why this happens, i don't really know, but i have some times seen it occur over the course of my life.
@@budahbaba7856 it's because atleast most people know they are dead and can't come back. They accept it and move one. If someone is still alive you keep hoping and loosing hope at the same time
One of my favorite things about Anakin and Ahsoka's relationship is how he basically raised her to be the best version of himself. She grew to have many of his best qualities, and few of his worst ones. She's proof of the tragedy that had Anakin not let the darkness in him win, he could have in another life been a fine parent. I really wish we had seen more of Ahsoka interacting with Luke (and Leia, while we're at it), beyond that brief blip in Boba. Hopefully we'll see more of the Skywalker twins in the Ahsoka series.
Anakin is the best example of “You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.” His ability to love and his capacity to care is what made Anakin such a hero. But his problem is that he cared so much for his friends and those around him that he could only take so much loss. The clone wars show is such a unique experience because you already know how it ends going in, you know that Anakin will turn to the dark side, but you still can help loving his character. It really puts good and evil into perspective and makes you realize that evil is within all of us, even the greatest of us.
Ashoka was abandoned by the Jedi Order. I felt bad for her and didn't blame her for leaving the Jedi Order which kind of saved her life. The Jedi Masters were so blind when they kicked her out of order.
I grew up in a fundamentalist order not so much unlike Ahsoka. I had plenty of opportunities to walk away, like she did, but unfortunately always swallowed my wounded heart and went back. In the end, it stunted my personal development so bad i never obtained any semblance of a normal life as an adult. Ahsoka did the only thing she could have done in the situation if she were to keep moving forward into adult hood, and become her own person. Every time i see that segment of Clone Wars, i always wish that i had possessed the self respect to walk away when i had the chance, just like she did in the Clone Wars.
@@budahbaba7856 we all grow at different rates. Don't give up on yourself and continue to move forward and develop. You can obtain her strength too if you don't give up. I too feel lost and broken sometimes, but it is through hope and willingness to change that we become something greater. Do not give up my friend, and you will obtain the inner strength you desire. May the force be with you... always...
I’ve always been curious as to how not even Yoda made the connection that when they ended up being completely wrong about Ashoka that their own hubris caused a very real blind spot for them to the force. It might have changed everything that followed.
That moment when Ahsoka stood before Anakin and said she wasn't coming back to the Jedi order minutes after she was invited back...is absolutely the most powerful scene in all of TCW. In that scene they both admit they both have doubts about what they are doing
Agree! And they animate it so well in that you can see Ahsoka struggling with the desire to return, and the look of dejection on Anakin, when she ultimately refuses.
the main reason the council did that was to try and make up for their mistake. It was basically them saying, “sorry for accusing you of terrorism and almost sentencing you to death, but here’s a promotion.”
It’s sad to watch anakin from when he was a kid in slavery to becoming the greatest Warrior to watching everyone leave him in the end ..... heart breaking
Vader don't use his full power everytime, he always fights like a Kung fu master practices with a newly admission student, so yes Ashoka is strong, but getting toe to toe with Vader isn't actually true as Vader fights in a power level that's just enough to fight and overpower enemy, he not always uses his full power, or else the whole Sith Temple would've been a ruined graveyard
Yeah but she was on the back foot the entire fight and only got one hit in and it was when vader wasn't even paying attention but the fact she survived at all vs him in an amazing feat itself
@@justsomeguyontheinternet7134 if you think about it, when order 66 first started, Vader walked threw the Jedi Temple and slaughtered everyone. But ahsoka was able to survive her fight. And she's technically not even a Jedi anymore.
@@rondutertre3367 i feel like you misunderstood when I said it's amazing ahsoka lasts vs vader at all I ment because if almost anyone else did they'd be slaughtered meaning yeah she's pretty strong
I've always loved Ahsoka, she was such an underrated character back then. I remember a lot of people hated her, but now she's one of the most beloved characters in Star Wars, and that makes me happy.
It's because Anakin was the most human among jedi, which lead to his downfall. Being Human, means having caring, and loving emotions. To be sith, is to be human.
i really disagree on the very last part, to be sith, or just the dark side really, u are always filled with hate, anger, suffering. its basicly a person that has a deep depression. to be human is to be in balance, having some of both. sometimes u are a happy, sometimes u are sad, sometimes u love someone, sometimes u hate someone but again its just my take.
Quigon was right in the end. He told Anakin that he believed he would bring balance to the force, that he would face his demons and save the universe... and he did. In ROTJ Luke's compassion and sacrifice brought him back to the light side. Anakin faced his demons and destroyed the Emperor and once again brought balance to the force.
@@multiverse_media2023 I just wish Disney had taken Star Wars seriously before they started the trilogy. They've made some incredible content for Star Wars outside of the trilogy and I genuinely think they would go back in time and not hand off the trilogy to a moron if they could. They underestimated the Star Wars universe and thought it would be a quick cash grab. I just wish they had realized it had so much potential before allowing the travesty that is the 3rd Sequel to be made canon...
9:58 that synchronized “no” gave me chills one screaming “no” as he sees what he’s become while the other screams “no” due to her, in a way, letting it happen.
anakin will always be one of my favorites, and you can tell how much love and good he had in him. sometimes i wish he didnt end up as vader, and stayed gold old sky guy, but he had to be the balance between the dark and light
I personally think it is also because he tried to keep both separated even in a place where they were equal. Instead of showing how the light side could be bad and bring problems as well as how the dark side could lead to life through the disruptions it created, he chose to separate them the same thing that the sith and republic jedi did as their mistake. They got obsessessed with purifying themselves from any influence of the other side including information and that is exactly how they were both corrupted and destroyed.
Just think it this way, when Anakin was being brought to the dark side, Anakin loved those that where close to him and the fear of losing them got him closer to look for more power to protect them. If Ashoka meant this much to him, imagine what he felt for Padme and his former Master Obi wan Kenobi, and when he thought that he betrayed him with his wife Padme. Anakin must have lost it and that's when he lost himself in the process, truly sad.
The jedi failed anakin. Their lack of action and lack of foresight is ultimately what lead to Vader. And through Vader the pendulum swung the other way and the force brought balance to itself. By means of Luke and his redemption of his father.
I think thats kinda the whole point of star wars...both extremes of the belief systems of force users be it jedi or sith are both inherently flawed by lacking some of the others teaching. The force isnt inherently good or evil it simply follows the will of those strong enough to wield it. Which is why a character such as Revan was as powerful as he was because he sat in the middle where the true balance exists within the force using it to its fully potential and combining the teachings of both jedi and sith.
Hiding ones emotions is not healthy. I can realate so much as a person with depression for many many years. I become so irritated and angry without knowing it so I know 100% how Anakin feels. Not allowed to feel anything was the Jedi’s greatest failure and what made their destruction. Allowing feelings and accepting them as feelings is needed for us to work. A vise man said ”feeling sadness, grief, anger, happiness is a part of the normal system of life. Depression is when that system is broken”
@@yournobody6487 That is not at all true about Revan, people who use him as an example of balance don’t understand that Revan failed in his attempt to balance both sides. That line of thinking has been discredited so many times in Legends and Canon. You cannot use both sides of the force without eventually falling to the darkness, the point of Revan is that he tried doing so post Kotor but started falling back into the same trappings that turned him to the dark side in the first place. The entire reason we have the Jedi in The Okd Republic material featuring Revan is that they tried using both sides in their first incarnation and it failed spectacularly.
@@loka-chan6695 Contrary to popular belief the Jedi do not encourage you to hide your emotions they encourage you to not act upon them and remain calm. There’s a difference. Suppression is elimination, what the Jedi do is teach you to control your emotions so that you don’t slaughter a tribe because you are angry at them for killing someone you loved. Your allowed to be upset your just not allowed to let the fact that you are upset cause you to do something horrible.
@@XSnipes2007 I think it would of been inevitable either teacher for anakin. Plus, it would of shattered the contrast between Obi Wan and Anakin. Obi Wan was a true follower of the light and was one of the strongest while Anakin became the strongest Sith Lord in the Galaxy. The ultimate betrayal, from two perspectives. Inevitable conflict.
All the badassery aside, Vader is just an extremely tragic hero, whose care for others led him to the dark side as he could not bear to lose any more of his loved ones.
The movies made Anakin’s turn to the dark side so trivial when it was way more complex and had more to do with balance than true good and evil. Neither the Jedi or the sith were completely right
Episode III was rushed but even EPII and EPIII make it clear Palpy was manipulating him for ages and the Jedi were inert asshats by that point. Regretfully the prequel trilogy simply fleshed it out far too little. The first half of EPIII is pretty much something that should've been part of a seperate movie dealing with the end of the Clone Wars and the final plan of Palpy getting put in motion. With a fourth movie truly being Order 66 and the fall of Anakin.
You know the sad thing is how papatine really didn't have to work to make anakin become his apprentice he put a little bit of effort in and the Jedi Order did everything else.
@@toryquinton2677 You're assuming the Republic was still one of democracy, freedom, truth or decency. Given that the politics of Star Wars are heavily based on the theme of the fall of the Roman Republic, it's pretty clear the system has grown corrupt, uncaring and the Jedi decadent. It would have fallen eventually it's just the cycle of things. Palpatine however manipulated and accelerated everything for his own ambitions and greed. Revolution, reformation movements, rebellion against the decline or just the urge for justice against legitimate abuse frequently lead to worse or escalate into an uneding pitfall of 'acceptable' excess. Hence the hero becomes the villain. It's human nature. Given how Anakin was born and the path he followed it was unsurprising where he ended up.
@@toryquinton2677 This, so much this. People seem to forget the jedi order worked fine for thousands of generations before their fall in the prequels. Are they perfect? No, but they weren't as bad as people say either.
I feel for the character of Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader probably more then any other character created in the world of fiction. I truly empathize with him, the tragedy that is his personal saga will for me always epitomize the struggle we all go through to find our true selves.
@Aether Hilichurl Destroyer Nah his real fall was when he slaughtered the Tusken village after his mom died. Anakin was obviously pissed about the Ahsoka thing but compare that to him seeing his mom die then ruthlessly take revenge on an entire village killing even the kids too then yea I’m sure this is what kickstarted it or you could get even more technical and say his fall started as soon as he had to leave his mom behind in slavery and the guilt of not being able to free her or save her. Sorry for the lil paragraph lol
It makes me happy knowing the grief anikan felt for his padiwan which then caused obi wan to feel sad for anikan, so it makes me happy to know they suffered
The saddest part of Anakins story is that Anakin didn’t trust his training or the people who truly cared about him. He betrayed everyone that loved and cared about him but worst than that he betrayed himself
That's why he became Vader. He is neck deep in hatred not to others, but himself. Fueled by the anger and immeasurable hatred for none other than himself.
You got that backwards. No one trusted him. He gave everything of himself to everyone. With nothing left for himself. The one thing he wanted... to be loved... was denied him by everyone. The only ones to offer him that... was Palpatine and Padme.
The people who supposedly cared about him were telling him it's ok for you to let the people you care about die, be charged with and convicted of crimes they didn't commit, and you were wrong for caring about them in the first place.
Watching this again at the end of 2021, and now that we have had two seasons of The Mandalorian, and have seen both Asoka and Luke make such incredible appearances on that show, this video takes on even deeper relevance. Apparently we can look forward to a new series about Asoka and more appearances from Luke, and this begs the question: "Will we witness a meeting between Asoka and Luke?" Asoka never knew that her beloved master redeemed himself and helped Luke bring down the Emperor, and it would be so good to have her learn this from Luke himself. And she in return could share so many stories with him about the wonderful person that Anakin really was.
Funny how I don't like Luke from the movies. He seems boring compared to Anakin. Even Leia is utterly uninteresting to me. I think they should have explored ahsoka in the movies and more than just Anakin's biological kids moving forward... I don't even want to talk about Rey..my goodness.
It feels like before they clashed that Vader still cared for her. Even pushing her away from revenge from what I only imagine was instinct that a master would have towards their student. And that was after admitting he would rather not fight her if he didn't have to.
This made me feel so many emotions I haven't felt in a while holy shit. I wish I could experience the whole storyline of Ahsoka, Anakin and everyone else for the first time again
In the end, he did bring balance to the force… by joining the dark side, there was now two powerful force users on both sides of the force, Luke and Yoda on the light, Palpatine and Vader on the dark, true balance…
@kvfrwxpy The jedi were ludicrously powerful and getting far too comfortable with thinking they were the end all be all. There can be no light without the shadow. The dark side is an important aspect of the force.
@@robertnguyen5929 you seem to be under the impression balance = light and dark. In Star Wars it doesn’t. The light is the embodiment of the force itself. This is the reason only Jedi and force users who were more or less in the middle like Bendu and father, could turn into force ghost. The Jedi are the pure side thus balance, but their problems are the denial of the dark side itself. It exist, but don’t let it corrupt you. Sitt are the true disrupters of the force.
@@robertnguyen5929 george lucas's view of balance is different. What he means is that if everyone uses the light side of the force, the galaxy can achieve harmony. Dark side users are selfish and disrupt the harmony of the universe to further their own goals
Ahsoka and Obi-wan are the only Jedi from the order that could fight Anakin one on one. They spent years fighting by his side closely, it's why Ahsoka, unlike many other force-wielders, could fight him with such skill. She spent a huge part of her life fighting by his side, sparring with him and witnessing his strengths and weaknesses in battle. I'm glad they showed this in their battle, especially with her being less conventional and not held back by Jedi tradition.
I always said that the reason the fight in revenge of the sith was so good was because their fighting style was essentially the same and them training together they knew each others tendencies and made them basically equal
Yoda and Mace can but Ashoka and Kenobi can't really beat Anakin/Vader. Ashoka was never in her life able to beat him. Kenobi only won because of high ground it was stated Kenobi was gonna lose on Mustafar.
Nah neither are a real match for him. They always pad up obi wan with plot armour and diminish villains simply for writers laziness. Anakin/vader would yeet them both easily but he never goes full out on screen.
It doesn't matter that much when it comes to disney being in charge. The sequels were botched because they had zero planning and two different directors fighting to tell their own version of the story
You guys need to realize that Lucasfilm is making the bulk of the creative decisions with Star Wars ever since it was bought by Disney. Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams clashing with each other over the sequels is an example of poor decision making by the creatives behind the sequels. The animated and live action shows have better creative decisions, although they do and will have flaws. Disney has the money to invest in and support the new projects created and helmed by Lucasfilm. Point is that Disney is often criticized (which is understandable), however Lucasfilm should be criticized as well.
@senmole I have this thing behind my eyes called a brain that won't allow me to look passed all the dumb shit, seeing as the sequels are made of 3 parts dumb shit and 1 part music. Don't try to minimalize our gripes with them, we are allowed to dislike them.
@senmole Well, you are a bad guesser, because I didn't like prequels, but they are objectively better than the trash sequels. The writing for the sequels is some of the worst shit i've seen in my entire life. It's unforgiveable. If you like the sequel trilogy or can switch your brain off, you are easily distracted by visual orgasm that is only meant to cover up a dumpster fire of contrivances and pandering.
You don't really appreciate how lost the Jedi Order actually was until you watch the Clone Wars animated series and experience what they did to Ahsoka. For such an enlightened people, they were so up their own asses, its kinda unbelievable in hindsight.
Qui-Gon's Force ghost is right he does bring balance to the Force after confronting his demons even as the greatest villain of all time(ever) he was in the end a hero
@@ethanjones2008 Lucas' original philosophy was not the "ying-yang" type balance that is popular nowadays. It was the idea of purity vs corruption. The Light side and Dark were not meant to be "balanced" like a seesaw, but the darkness was meant to be stripped from the light, like removing an infection. So to them the idea of balancing the force was removing the cancer, aka the dark side.
@@travisdunlap4526 nah bro, he brought balance to the force by ending both corrupt powers… either side of the force doesn’t necessarily make you good or evil, the Jedi were horrible throughout cw
*Mick* as i see it, Anakin literally ever made one noble decision in his life: choosing his son over Palpatine. And how noble is that really? Choosing your child over an evil dictator like Justin Trudeau! -wouldn't any one do that? Does that make him special? I think he gets way too much credit for this. It does not undo the decades of horrific war crimes, oppression, and cruelty he had inflicted on the galaxy. His soul is redeemed because he loved his son? Ummnnn... for most fathers that is something that just comes with the territory! :)
@@budahbaba7856 but he did do more than "just choose his son over an evil dictator" Palpatine had power over Vader ala the Suit so it's not like he just listened to every word Palpatine said because he wanted too
You know what always gets me? That Ahsoka managed to get through to Darth Vader. To Anakin. Not even Obi Wan and Padme were able to get through to him in the end, but Ahsoka did. That says something very powerful. Ahsoka meant so much to him, and it hurts seeing what happened in the end. But Ahsoka always believed Anakin would return, and he did. I hope she was able to hear of Anakin defeating Palpatine. I hope she smiled.
Ahsoka ultimately never antagonized Anakin. He blamed the council for her decision to walk away, whereas Obi-wan sided with the council on numerous occasions. Padme lost credibility in Anakin’s eyes when Obi-wan showed himself on Mustafar.
Anakin never wanted to become what he did. He was so desperate to protect what he loved. The mother who birthed him into the world. The master who raised him and was like a father to him. A student who admired and cared for him as family. And his wife and children, his pride and joy. But all of that was denied. The life he led. The people he trusted. His position in life did not allow for any of that. His fall to darkness at the hands of a sadistic tyrant who saw as nothing more than another collareral. The old friends who only wanted the old him back and refused to accept that even his broken self was still him. It took a son. A son that he thought he had killed. One who saw the good inside all of the evil and despair he had bred in place of his sadness. Just as his mother had seen before her final moments. In the end, thought trust cost him everything he had, it took that same trust in himself and his son to bring him back.
Honestly makes me think of the Anakin/Obi scene that explains how he felt about Ashoka and asking Obi how he would of felt had it been him sorta a foretelling.
Anakin was one of the most caring, lost and ambitious person. His whole life story literally couldn’t be any better (from how he came up with his mom to finally being able to see his son and returning to the light)
I wonder if Ahsoka ever met Luke, i mean she must have heard of him in some way and she would have, of course, recognized his name: Skywalker. Wouldn't she want to visit him at least once?
12:05 Man the look on her face here gives me goosebumps. She sees a glimpse of Anakin and INSTANTLY declares she won't leave him and will stay in this moment to do battle with the monster that has taken over him.
4:12 Makes you wonder. What would've happened, if Ahsoka's order of execution would've been given? Would Anakin stand up against the Council? The Order? Would Palpatine stepped in? Would Order 66 started there? What would've happened? Would Anakin became a rogue with Ahsoka? At this point, both Yoda and Windu is present, with some of the greatest masters not fallen to the Order 66.
@@infinityzk4956 Would he? If so, wouldn't Anakin have stood up for her? In her Defense? Attack the council? Try to save her padawan? Do you think he would allow that? So..? What would make him? Dead? Imprisoned? I think, that Palpatine knew that Ahsoka would be found innocent, but wanted to hint that the council is evil in Anakin. As the verdict never been heard. It's an assumption. Would Ahsoka be sentenced to execution, that would be too premature. It would cause problems. Palpatine couldn't win against Windu, and only won against Yoda through the usage of the force and ranged attacks. But if Ahsoka would be killed, and Anakin would let it happen.. than Anakin would be in a vulnerable state, open for any attack and suggestion... but so is the Order. Because one of their Padawan has done that.. but if she didn't? And if the proof is superficial only..? That starts conversations. Why could the military make such a choice? Public view? Thoughts of other padawans who knew her? Thoughts of the masters who just allowed it happen? Distrust in the Jedi not just from the public eye, but from within the Order itself. Masters turning against the Order. It's a brilliant plan either way. The Jedi played so easily.
Ahsoka is the first time anakin saw how the council was truly corrupted. They loathed, despised and feared change. They would make an example out of their own sister and protecter regardless of innocence to protect their public image.
"I am no Jedi" ... so powerfull from someone who still believes in the ways of the force but was betrayed by the Jedi Order. The only seen "Grey Jedi" in Star Wars Cannon other that Comics. If we dont count Qui-Gon Jinn who in my Eyes was the most like a Grey Jedi
This did such a good job of showing how tortured she is. Especially now that we know what she knew from the end of TCW. She is and will always be my favorite.
Anakin went through so much pain, grief and sadness that ultimately turned him, he felt betrayed by everyone and kept losing the people he loved the most.
I allways ask myself what would happend if Ahsoka stayed. Would she see what happen to him and try to stop him from to become Vader? Would she die in the Temple, defending the Younglings against the murderous Soldiers of the 501st? Or would she join Vader? And if yes would the try to overcome Sidious? How she fight Obi Wan and get injured? Would Sidious force Vader to kill the last person how beliefs in Anakin Skywalker? Would she become a Inquisitior? So many therories, so much that could have been. This is one of the great thinks in Star Wars
I’d like to think that if she stayed both with the Order and close to Anakin, he could not only have resisted Palpatine’s machinations, but also gotten over Padme (let’s face it, Anakin’s too good for someone as weak as Padme). Even just staying close to Anakin probably would’ve stopped all that horror from happening!
She died because she thought Anakin was either angry with her or dead, and left her children behind as well. Also when Palpatine took over, she did nothing even though she’s supposed to be very influential in the Senate! If you give actual examples to the contrary instead of saying I’m blind then I’ll consider changing my mind. Until then, my view stands!
@@willnack5315 she didn’t stand up to Palpatine because at that point he was pretty much in control of everything and would have just declared her a traitor and had her arrested. The novelization captures this when she leads the Delegation of 2,000 into a meeting with him and he basically shuts them down, also when Sidious declared the Empire Bail Organa is about to shout out a challenge, she stops him and tells him it’s not the time. She helped found the Rebel Alliance beside Organa and Mon Motha, but the movies don’t really present that. Padme was far from weak or useless, that’s where Princess Leia inherited her badass from. She died from a broken heart and betrayal from the man she loved and believed in, not being pathetic.
I think she was his best chance at defeating the dark side in himself. Fighting next to him and being raised by him, I think she understood him even more than Padre did. Padme wasn't a Jedi so she didn't understand his inner turmoil like Ahsoka did. She knew he had problems but didn't understand the struggle to it's full extent.
Sad when you notice darth vader could've never been if his friends never left him. His fall and grief of padme and wanting to save her led him astray. This video makes me want to rewatch the movies and shows all over again
So..where do I start to watch all these animated shows ? I saw a few of them over the years when they were on TV. But I really do need to watch them because they are all Canon.
It's insane to think when Ashoka and Vader fought and she cut his mask when she told him she won't leave anakin shown through and contemplated leaving and that's when Vader snapped right back in
"How would you feel if I became a major disappointment?" - Such foreshadowing to how Obi-Wan feels later, he says now it isn't the same but ends up feeling it big time once Anakin turns to the dark. Hearing that, then flashing back to Mustafar, I wonder if he remembered this conversation?
The relationship between the two of them was so beautifully written and when you add the chemistry between Ashley and Matt, it makes me loves Clone Wars even more.
I like how we all were SURE Ashoka was going to die during order 66, and slowly and surely they carved a path for her to basically be the new Mara Jade.
Now that I’m older and rewatching the Clone Wars, it’s crazy to see how over time Anakin really is driven away from the Jedi Order. His feelings for Padmè were the main focus in the prequel movies, but the animated series shows us it was his feelings for Ashoka and others in general that put him on the path. It put him in a confusing spot among the Jedi, who are supposed to care for others but not at the expense of the greater good. Anakin couldn’t accept that. His love for Padmè, how much he put on the line for Ashoka, the dynamic between him and Obi-Won, the Council turning their backs on Ashoka and Anakin in the end, it all adds up and it’s heartbreaking to see happen over time.
Of everything from Rebels, seeing Ahsoka have to face Vader was heartbreaking. I used to take solace in knowing Ahsoka never had to face Anakin after he fell to the dark side, but now I know she had to see her master, warped into a horrible tyrant, and raise her blade against him

Ahsoka had the best development. Young, impulsive, and annoying. Then she grew up to be patient, smart, and powerful. Becoming one of the greatest Star Wars characters ever. And one most beloved by the fans. Seriously in the top 5 of all time.

He left the light side because mace windu was pushing his BLM agenda much too hard on bananakin

"The road to hell is paved with good intentions"
One detail I really like about her leaving the order is that it is revealed that in a way, the Jedi Order does not care about her beyond the power she possesses for them. But individual Jedi do care about her. What I mean is that Plo Koon is the only Jedi Council member who actually apologized to her. Saesee Tiin and Mace Windu both claimed that that experience was a trial that "the force" willed them to put upon her. Obi Wan was also about to follow Anakin out the door to say goodbye to Ahsoka, but Plo Koon stopped him. To me, this reinforces the fact that Plo Koon, Obi Wan and Anakin were the only Jedi who really cared about doing what was right for her and the rest saw her as a tool for the Jedi Order.
Not just that
Its like that in real life if someone sees something they can benefit from you
They will manipulate you thats why you need to be independent
Especially when it comes to family
My brother and i
Were the youngest siblings that actually cared about our family future and wanted to make our family comfortable as far as their lifestyle but as soon as my older brother got money used me to get what he wanted he basically threw me to the curb even though i pretty much worked like a modern day slave to this day he forgot about over a decade of me working for 20-30% of the labor i put in to make multiple business opportunities for us and at the end he was the only one to benefit from basically free labor

In the end , ironically , it was the Jedi that turned Anakin to the darkside. He was let down by the very people trying to help him. Leading him to suppress his emotions instead of working through them. Clinging to the old ways , the Jedi destroyed themselves. The real tragedy is not Anakin's fall to the darkside , but the failure of the Order that pushed him away.
How great that in hindsight all this was needed for Anakin to become one with the force in its entirety. Embodying the entire spectrum of both the light and the dark. A lesson he sadly only learned just in time right before his death. Luckily being able to pass all his knowledge and legacy over to Ahsoka.
6:50-7:05 breaks my heart how Ashoka says “The last time I saw him, he was rushing off to save the chancellor. The War ended and the Jedi were accused of Treason, one by one they’re were hunted down”😭💔

@@UnitedWars that just makes it more hearbreaking really.
One of my favorite things about Anakin and Ahsoka's relationship is how he basically raised her to be the best version of himself. She grew to have many of his best qualities, and few of his worst ones. She's proof of the tragedy that had Anakin not let the darkness in him win, he could have in another life been a fine parent.
I really wish we had seen more of Ahsoka interacting with Luke (and Leia, while we're at it), beyond that brief blip in Boba. Hopefully we'll see more of the Skywalker twins in the Ahsoka series.
He passed his power to 3.
Luke
Leia
Ahsoka.
Anakin is the best example of “You either die a hero or you live long enough to become the villain.” His ability to love and his capacity to care is what made Anakin such a hero. But his problem is that he cared so much for his friends and those around him that he could only take so much loss. The clone wars show is such a unique experience because you already know how it ends going in, you know that Anakin will turn to the dark side, but you still can help loving his character. It really puts good and evil into perspective and makes you realize that evil is within all of us, even the greatest of us.
Ashoka was abandoned by the Jedi Order. I felt bad for her and didn't blame her for leaving the Jedi Order which kind of saved her life. The Jedi Masters were so blind when they kicked her out of order.
I grew up in a fundamentalist order not so much unlike Ahsoka. I had plenty of opportunities to walk away, like she did, but unfortunately always swallowed my wounded heart and went back. In the end, it stunted my personal development so bad i never obtained any semblance of a normal life as an adult. Ahsoka did the only thing she could have done in the situation if she were to keep moving forward into adult hood, and become her own person. Every time i see that segment of Clone Wars, i always wish that i had possessed the self respect to walk away when i had the chance, just like she did in the Clone Wars.
@@budahbaba7856 we all grow at different rates. Don't give up on yourself and continue to move forward and develop. You can obtain her strength too if you don't give up.

@@budahbaba7856 what order was that?
I’ve always been curious as to how not even Yoda made the connection that when they ended up being completely wrong about Ashoka that their own hubris caused a very real blind spot for them to the force. It might have changed everything that followed.
That moment when Ahsoka stood before Anakin and said she wasn't coming back to the Jedi order minutes after she was invited back...is absolutely the most powerful scene in all of TCW. In that scene they both admit they both have doubts about what they are doing
Agree! And they animate it so well in that you can see Ahsoka struggling with the desire to return, and the look of dejection on Anakin, when she ultimately refuses.
Yes, either that or when Anakin foresees his future.
Fear of loss
It was one of the most powerful scenes in TCW, but not THE most powerful....

Ahsoka was my favorite. People underestimate how powerful she is. She single-handedly defeated Maul and she was able to go toe-to-toe with Vader.
Vader don't use his full power everytime, he always fights like a Kung fu master practices with a newly admission student, so yes Ashoka is strong, but getting toe to toe with Vader isn't actually true as Vader fights in a power level that's just enough to fight and overpower enemy, he not always uses his full power, or else the whole Sith Temple would've been a ruined graveyard

It's because Anakin was the most human among jedi, which lead to his downfall. Being Human, means having caring, and loving emotions.
To be sith, is to be human.

i really disagree on the very last part, to be sith, or just the dark side really, u are always filled with hate, anger, suffering. its basicly a person that has a deep depression.

but again its just my take.

Quigon was right in the end. He told Anakin that he believed he would bring balance to the force, that he would face his demons and save the universe... and he did. In ROTJ Luke's compassion and sacrifice brought him back to the light side. Anakin faced his demons and destroyed the Emperor and once again brought balance to the force.

I see why Father lost control of Son so easily. Guy is challenged and gives up.
I personally think it is also because he tried to keep both separated even in a place where they were equal. Instead of showing how the light side could be bad and bring problems as well as how the dark side could lead to life through the disruptions it created, he chose to separate them the same thing that the sith and republic jedi did as their mistake. They got obsessessed with purifying themselves from any influence of the other side including information and that is exactly how they were both corrupted and destroyed.
Just think it this way, when Anakin was being brought to the dark side, Anakin loved those that where close to him and the fear of losing them got him closer to look for more power to protect them. If Ashoka meant this much to him, imagine what he felt for Padme and his former Master Obi wan Kenobi, and when he thought that he betrayed him with his wife Padme. Anakin must have lost it and that's when he lost himself in the process, truly sad.
It's hard to believe that Anakin turned into Vader . He was so good and kind 😢

Well I had a transition like that in 6th grade I was anakin in 7th grade I became Vader
@@Teamneoplasmaghetsismore like you were just a crappy kid with anger issues who just idolized villains your just going through a phase lol
The jedi failed anakin. Their lack of action and lack of foresight is ultimately what lead to Vader. And through Vader the pendulum swung the other way and the force brought balance to itself. By means of Luke and his redemption of his father.
I think thats kinda the whole point of star wars...both extremes of the belief systems of force users be it jedi or sith are both inherently flawed by lacking some of the others teaching. The force isnt inherently good or evil it simply follows the will of those strong enough to wield it. Which is why a character such as Revan was as powerful as he was because he sat in the middle where the true balance exists within the force using it to its fully potential and combining the teachings of both jedi and sith.
Hiding ones emotions is not healthy. I can realate so much as a person with depression for many many years. I become so irritated and angry without knowing it so I know 100% how Anakin feels. Not allowed to feel anything was the Jedi’s greatest failure and what made their destruction. Allowing feelings and accepting them as feelings is needed for us to work.
A vise man said ”feeling sadness, grief, anger, happiness is a part of the normal system of life. Depression is when that system is broken”
@@yournobody6487 That is not at all true about Revan, people who use him as an example of balance don’t understand that Revan failed in his attempt to balance both sides.
That line of thinking has been discredited so many times in Legends and Canon.
You cannot use both sides of the force without eventually falling to the darkness, the point of Revan is that he tried doing so post Kotor but started falling back into the same trappings that turned him to the dark side in the first place.
The entire reason we have the Jedi in The Okd Republic material featuring Revan is that they tried using both sides in their first incarnation and it failed spectacularly.
@@loka-chan6695 Contrary to popular belief the Jedi do not encourage you to hide your emotions they encourage you to not act upon them and remain calm.
There’s a difference.
Suppression is elimination, what the Jedi do is teach you to control your emotions so that you don’t slaughter a tribe because you are angry at them for killing someone you loved.
Your allowed to be upset your just not allowed to let the fact that you are upset cause you to do something horrible.

All the badassery aside, Vader is just an extremely tragic hero, whose care for others led him to the dark side as he could not bear to lose any more of his loved ones.
The movies made Anakin’s turn to the dark side so trivial when it was way more complex and had more to do with balance than true good and evil. Neither the Jedi or the sith were completely right
Episode III was rushed but even EPII and EPIII make it clear Palpy was manipulating him for ages and the Jedi were inert asshats by that point.
Regretfully the prequel trilogy simply fleshed it out far too little. The first half of EPIII is pretty much something that should've been part of a seperate movie dealing with the end of the Clone Wars and the final plan of Palpy getting put in motion. With a fourth movie truly being Order 66 and the fall of Anakin.

It would have fallen eventually it's just the cycle of things. Palpatine however manipulated and accelerated everything for his own ambitions and greed.
Revolution, reformation movements, rebellion against the decline or just the urge for justice against legitimate abuse frequently lead to worse or escalate into an uneding pitfall of 'acceptable' excess.
Hence the hero becomes the villain. It's human nature.

The saddest part of Anakins story is that Anakin didn’t trust his training or the people who truly cared about him. He betrayed everyone that loved and cared about him but worst than that he betrayed himself
That's why he became Vader. He is neck deep in hatred not to others, but himself. Fueled by the anger and immeasurable hatred for none other than himself.
You got that backwards. No one trusted him. He gave everything of himself to everyone. With nothing left for himself. The one thing he wanted... to be loved... was denied him by everyone. The only ones to offer him that... was Palpatine and Padme.
The people who supposedly cared about him were telling him it's ok for you to let the people you care about die, be charged with and convicted of crimes they didn't commit, and you were wrong for caring about them in the first place.

Watching this again at the end of 2021, and now that we have had two seasons of The Mandalorian, and have seen both Asoka and Luke make such incredible
appearances on that show, this video takes on even deeper relevance. Apparently we can look forward to a new series about Asoka and more appearances from Luke, and this begs the question: "Will we witness a meeting between Asoka and Luke?"
Asoka never knew that her beloved master redeemed himself and helped Luke bring down the Emperor, and it would be so good to have her learn this from Luke himself. And she in return could share so many stories with him about the wonderful person that Anakin really was.

Funny how I don't like Luke from the movies.
He seems boring compared to Anakin. Even Leia is utterly uninteresting to me.
I think they should have explored ahsoka in the movies and more than just Anakin's biological kids moving forward...
I don't even want to talk about Rey..my goodness.
The downfall of an akin skywalker is one of the most heart wrenching moments of the saga
In all of fiction.
*akin*
Yeah. The worst thing about it is that he lost the 3 people he loved the most. O-Wan, Ahka and especially Pmé. So tragic!
@@Firelayer1 Lmao did him dirty
@@Firelayer1 what about his mother?
It feels like before they clashed that Vader still cared for her.
Even pushing her away from revenge from what I only imagine was instinct that a master would have towards their student.
And that was after admitting he would rather not fight her if he didn't have to.
This made me feel so many emotions I haven't felt in a while holy shit. I wish I could experience the whole storyline of Ahsoka, Anakin and everyone else for the first time again
In the end, he did bring balance to the force… by joining the dark side, there was now two powerful force users on both sides of the force, Luke and Yoda on the light, Palpatine and Vader on the dark, true balance…
@kvfrwxpy The jedi were ludicrously powerful and getting far too comfortable with thinking they were the end all be all. There can be no light without the shadow. The dark side is an important aspect of the force.
@@jacksonmiller7745 not true. The dark side is the corruption of the force. If you were to destroy the sith, balance would come.
@@meurum2561 how will it be balance? If it's one-sided.
@@robertnguyen5929 you seem to be under the impression balance = light and dark. In Star Wars it doesn’t. The light is the embodiment of the force itself. This is the reason only Jedi and force users who were more or less in the middle like Bendu and father, could turn into force ghost. The Jedi are the pure side thus balance, but their problems are the denial of the dark side itself. It exist, but don’t let it corrupt you. Sitt are the true disrupters of the force.
@@robertnguyen5929 george lucas's view of balance is different. What he means is that if everyone uses the light side of the force, the galaxy can achieve harmony. Dark side users are selfish and disrupt the harmony of the universe to further their own goals
Ahsoka and Obi-wan are the only Jedi from the order that could fight Anakin one on one. They spent years fighting by his side closely, it's why Ahsoka, unlike many other force-wielders, could fight him with such skill. She spent a huge part of her life fighting by his side, sparring with him and witnessing his strengths and weaknesses in battle. I'm glad they showed this in their battle, especially with her being less conventional and not held back by Jedi tradition.
Yoda and mace were definitely powerful enough aswell
I always said that the reason the fight in revenge of the sith was so good was because their fighting style was essentially the same and them training together they knew each others tendencies and made them basically equal
You mean her vs darth Vader? I can't see her beating Anakin in his prime as much as I love her character.
Yoda and Mace can but Ashoka and Kenobi can't really beat Anakin/Vader.
Ashoka was never in her life able to beat him.
Kenobi only won because of high ground it was stated Kenobi was gonna lose on Mustafar.
Nah neither are a real match for him. They always pad up obi wan with plot armour and diminish villains simply for writers laziness. Anakin/vader would yeet them both easily but he never goes full out on screen.
Those Caps At The Beginning Of Every Word Hurst My Eyes
Puts a real good meaning to, you either die a hero or live long enough to become the villain
This video is suddenly gaining traction almost 5 years later. Why? I have no idea! But I’m glad y’all are enjoying it!
It's pretty good :D
very stylized edit, you did a phenomenal job!
Cause it hits hard
Started watching star wars series like rebels again
Music is WAY too loud
Imagine the sequels having emotion like this. When something is made by something soulless like Disney, you don't get stuff like this.
you are forgetting that the last season was made by disney
It doesn't matter that much when it comes to disney being in charge.
The sequels were botched because they had zero planning and two different directors fighting to tell their own version of the story
You guys need to realize that Lucasfilm is making the bulk of the creative decisions with Star Wars ever since it was bought by Disney. Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams clashing with each other over the sequels is an example of poor decision making by the creatives behind the sequels. The animated and live action shows have better creative decisions, although they do and will have flaws. Disney has the money to invest in and support the new projects created and helmed by Lucasfilm. Point is that Disney is often criticized (which is understandable), however Lucasfilm should be criticized as well.
@senmole I have this thing behind my eyes called a brain that won't allow me to look passed all the dumb shit, seeing as the sequels are made of 3 parts dumb shit and 1 part music. Don't try to minimalize our gripes with them, we are allowed to dislike them.
@senmole Well, you are a bad guesser, because I didn't like prequels, but they are objectively better than the trash sequels. The writing for the sequels is some of the worst shit i've seen in my entire life. It's unforgiveable. If you like the sequel trilogy or can switch your brain off, you are easily distracted by visual orgasm that is only meant to cover up a dumpster fire of contrivances and pandering.
Poor Anakin. Everyone either leaves, dies, or leaves him to die.
You don't really appreciate how lost the Jedi Order actually was until you watch the Clone Wars animated series and experience what they did to Ahsoka. For such an enlightened people, they were so up their own asses, its kinda unbelievable in hindsight.
Qui-Gon's Force ghost is right he does bring balance to the Force after confronting his demons even as the greatest villain of all time(ever) he was in the end a hero
Yeah the whole “bring balance to the force” thing should’ve alerted the Jedi… only 2 sith and a whole lotta Jedis… only one real outcome 🤦♂️
@@ethanjones2008 Lucas' original philosophy was not the "ying-yang" type balance that is popular nowadays. It was the idea of purity vs corruption. The Light side and Dark were not meant to be "balanced" like a seesaw, but the darkness was meant to be stripped from the light, like removing an infection. So to them the idea of balancing the force was removing the cancer, aka the dark side.
@@travisdunlap4526 nah bro, he brought balance to the force by ending both corrupt powers… either side of the force doesn’t necessarily make you good or evil, the Jedi were horrible throughout cw
*Mick* as i see it, Anakin literally ever made one noble decision in his life: choosing his son over Palpatine. And how noble is that really? Choosing your child over an evil dictator like Justin Trudeau! -wouldn't any one do that? Does that make him special? I think he gets way too much credit for this. It does not undo the decades of horrific war crimes, oppression, and cruelty he had inflicted on the galaxy. His soul is redeemed because he loved his son? Ummnnn... for most fathers that is something that just comes with the territory! :)
@@budahbaba7856 but he did do more than "just choose his son over an evil dictator" Palpatine had power over Vader ala the Suit so it's not like he just listened to every word Palpatine said because he wanted too
You know what always gets me? That Ahsoka managed to get through to Darth Vader. To Anakin. Not even Obi Wan and Padme were able to get through to him in the end, but Ahsoka did. That says something very powerful. Ahsoka meant so much to him, and it hurts seeing what happened in the end. But Ahsoka always believed Anakin would return, and he did. I hope she was able to hear of Anakin defeating Palpatine. I hope she smiled.
Ahsoka ultimately never antagonized Anakin. He blamed the council for her decision to walk away, whereas Obi-wan sided with the council on numerous occasions. Padme lost credibility in Anakin’s eyes when Obi-wan showed himself on Mustafar.
@@TheQuadLaunchers Very true. She was truly the last one he trusted.
Well. We now know that Ahsoka knows Luke so I would bet that He told her that Anakin came back on the end.
Obi wan did too for a brief moment. The fight and dialogue had similarities with ahsoka.
That was some amazing editing at 11:00 to make it look like he’s fighting himself
Anakin never wanted to become what he did. He was so desperate to protect what he loved. The mother who birthed him into the world. The master who raised him and was like a father to him. A student who admired and cared for him as family. And his wife and children, his pride and joy.
But all of that was denied. The life he led. The people he trusted. His position in life did not allow for any of that.
His fall to darkness at the hands of a sadistic tyrant who saw as nothing more than another collareral. The old friends who only wanted the old him back and refused to accept that even his broken self was still him.
It took a son. A son that he thought he had killed. One who saw the good inside all of the evil and despair he had bred in place of his sadness. Just as his mother had seen before her final moments.
In the end, thought trust cost him everything he had, it took that same trust in himself and his son to bring him back.
Honestly makes me think of the Anakin/Obi scene that explains how he felt about Ashoka and asking Obi how he would of felt had it been him sorta a foretelling.
4:25 you can see Anakin’s “Sith eyes” for a couple seconds when he orders Ahsoka to come with him
“…NOW!!!”
So sad 😭
Anakin was one of the most caring, lost and ambitious person. His whole life story literally couldn’t be any better (from how he came up with his mom to finally being able to see his son and returning to the light)
Anakin was an emotional person. Glad the Clone Wars went deeper into that.
I wonder if Ahsoka ever met Luke, i mean she must have heard of him in some way and she would have, of course, recognized his name: Skywalker.
Wouldn't she want to visit him at least once?
In the mandalorian series, she might know or heard about him, but she didn't refer to him as "Luke" or "Skywalker, just "Jedi"
If we're lucky, the Ahsoka series will actually show them meeting. Tie up more loose ends and fix more plot holes
Maybe she would recognize him by a more proper name: sky guy.
I'm hopping to see it in the Ahsoka show.
We got the answer today. Book of boba fett ep6
Padme was not the only one anakin cared for.
You did be right
12:05 Man the look on her face here gives me goosebumps. She sees a glimpse of Anakin and INSTANTLY declares she won't leave him and will stay in this moment to do battle with the monster that has taken over him.
4:12 Makes you wonder. What would've happened, if Ahsoka's order of execution would've been given? Would Anakin stand up against the Council? The Order? Would Palpatine stepped in? Would Order 66 started there? What would've happened? Would Anakin became a rogue with Ahsoka? At this point, both Yoda and Windu is present, with some of the greatest masters not fallen to the Order 66.
Well you do be right
That's indeed very interesting
Pre-empting Anakin's turn to the dark side! :)
Palpatine would've let her be executed because it would've helped even more in Anakins fall to the dark side
@@infinityzk4956 Would he? If so, wouldn't Anakin have stood up for her? In her Defense? Attack the council? Try to save her padawan? Do you think he would allow that? So..? What would make him? Dead? Imprisoned?
I think, that Palpatine knew that Ahsoka would be found innocent, but wanted to hint that the council is evil in Anakin. As the verdict never been heard. It's an assumption.
Would Ahsoka be sentenced to execution, that would be too premature. It would cause problems. Palpatine couldn't win against Windu, and only won against Yoda through the usage of the force and ranged attacks.
But if Ahsoka would be killed, and Anakin would let it happen.. than Anakin would be in a vulnerable state, open for any attack and suggestion... but so is the Order. Because one of their Padawan has done that.. but if she didn't? And if the proof is superficial only..? That starts conversations. Why could the military make such a choice? Public view? Thoughts of other padawans who knew her? Thoughts of the masters who just allowed it happen?
Distrust in the Jedi not just from the public eye, but from within the Order itself. Masters turning against the Order.
It's a brilliant plan either way. The Jedi played so easily.
This deserves so much more attention
Then give it more attention, duh
7:43 You can see how Sad Anakin,Obi-Wan and Plo Kon are when Ahsoka declines to come back
This is without a doubt one of the greatest fan edits ive ever watched. Thank you for this.
Please don’t ever delete this tribute.
This thing hits you right in the feels
it made me cry so much 😭😭😭
Losing Ashoka was one of the final nails in the coffin for Anakins path to the dark side. They were such a good team.
Ahsoka is the first time anakin saw how the council was truly corrupted. They loathed, despised and feared change. They would make an example out of their own sister and protecter regardless of innocence to protect their public image.
"I am no Jedi" ... so powerfull from someone who still believes in the ways of the force but was betrayed by the Jedi Order. The only seen "Grey Jedi" in Star Wars Cannon other that Comics. If we dont count Qui-Gon Jinn who in my Eyes was the most like a Grey Jedi
Grey is the Way in my opinion.
This did such a good job of showing how tortured she is. Especially now that we know what she knew from the end of TCW. She is and will always be my favorite.
Anakin went through so much pain, grief and sadness that ultimately turned him, he felt betrayed by everyone and kept losing the people he loved the most.
She is my absolute favorite character in all of Star Wars and I can’t ducking wait for her show 🥰
I can’t ducking wait either my guy
I allways ask myself what would happend if Ahsoka stayed.
Would she see what happen to him and try to stop him from to become Vader?
Would she die in the Temple, defending the Younglings against the murderous Soldiers of the 501st?
Or would she join Vader? And if yes would the try to overcome Sidious? How she fight Obi Wan and get injured? Would Sidious force Vader to kill the last person how beliefs in Anakin Skywalker? Would she become a Inquisitior?
So many therories, so much that could have been. This is one of the great thinks in Star Wars
I’d like to think that if she stayed both with the Order and close to Anakin, he could not only have resisted Palpatine’s machinations, but also gotten over Padme (let’s face it, Anakin’s too good for someone as weak as Padme). Even just staying close to Anakin probably would’ve stopped all that horror from happening!
@@willnack5315 wow, padme is a strong woman. I you can not see that are you realy blind
She died because she thought Anakin was either angry with her or dead, and left her children behind as well. Also when Palpatine took over, she did nothing even though she’s supposed to be very influential in the Senate! If you give actual examples to the contrary instead of saying I’m blind then I’ll consider changing my mind. Until then, my view stands!
@@willnack5315 she didn’t stand up to Palpatine because at that point he was pretty much in control of everything and would have just declared her a traitor and had her arrested. The novelization captures this when she leads the Delegation of 2,000 into a meeting with him and he basically shuts them down, also when Sidious declared the Empire Bail Organa is about to shout out a challenge, she stops him and tells him it’s not the time. She helped found the Rebel Alliance beside Organa and Mon Motha, but the movies don’t really present that. Padme was far from weak or useless, that’s where Princess Leia inherited her badass from. She died from a broken heart and betrayal from the man she loved and believed in, not being pathetic.
I think she was his best chance at defeating the dark side in himself. Fighting next to him and being raised by him, I think she understood him even more than Padre did. Padme wasn't a Jedi so she didn't understand his inner turmoil like Ahsoka did. She knew he had problems but didn't understand the struggle to it's full extent.
Sad when you notice darth vader could've never been if his friends never left him. His fall and grief of padme and wanting to save her led him astray.
This video makes me want to rewatch the movies and shows all over again
So..where do I start to watch all these animated shows ? I saw a few of them over the years when they were on TV. But I really do need to watch them because they are all Canon.
@@Boxingbear Disney plus
holy crap, watching this made me feel things. amazing video, you really captured the true tragedy of Anakin skywalker in the most incredible way.
If we had a sequel trilogy with Ahsoka it would've made BANK
There's the series.
This really shows just how much better off everyone would’ve been if Ashoka had stayed with Anakin, and if neither the Jedi nor the Sith existed!
Yeah but life doesn’t work out that way and that’s why the show is great
It's insane to think when Ashoka and Vader fought and she cut his mask when she told him she won't leave anakin shown through and contemplated leaving and that's when Vader snapped right back in
He retreated way back into Vader. 😢
"How would you feel if I became a major disappointment?" - Such foreshadowing to how Obi-Wan feels later, he says now it isn't the same but ends up feeling it big time once Anakin turns to the dark. Hearing that, then flashing back to Mustafar, I wonder if he remembered this conversation?
The Birth, Rise, Fall, and Redemption of Anakin Skywalker is more heart breaking than a Greek tragedy........I cry
The relationship between the two of them was so beautifully written and when you add the chemistry between Ashley and Matt, it makes me loves Clone Wars even more.
5:16 In my opinion if anakin truly let out his pent up rage he could have slaughtered through the entire council bar yoda.
Haters will say fake lol
And windu
@@leoneagle8514 I think he could have defeated windu
Something like that happened in the comics, he truly did slaughter all of them, at ONCE.
Yoda would of fell too anakin was more powerful then any of them
This hits hard…I’ve always been a big fan of Star Wars and the clone wars series and rebels and I always will be.
“There is no dark or light side my freind, only the side you believe in.”
I like how we all were SURE Ashoka was going to die during order 66, and slowly and surely they carved a path for her to basically be the new Mara Jade.
This was an amazing tribute you can see how important ahsoka is to anakin it’s sad how things turned out in the Star Wars story
This fills in a lot of gaps for those of us who never watched Clone Wars and Rebels and are currently watching Ahsoka.
I remember making this before Season 7 of Clone Wars. You definitely need to check that out.
Now that I’m older and rewatching the Clone Wars, it’s crazy to see how over time Anakin really is driven away from the Jedi Order. His feelings for Padmè were the main focus in the prequel movies, but the animated series shows us it was his feelings for Ashoka and others in general that put him on the path. It put him in a confusing spot among the Jedi, who are supposed to care for others but not at the expense of the greater good.
Anakin couldn’t accept that. His love for Padmè, how much he put on the line for Ashoka, the dynamic between him and Obi-Won, the Council turning their backs on Ashoka and Anakin in the end, it all adds up and it’s heartbreaking to see happen over time.
Of everything from Rebels, seeing Ahsoka have to face Vader was heartbreaking. I used to take solace in knowing Ahsoka never had to face Anakin after he fell to the dark side, but now I know she had to see her master, warped into a horrible tyrant, and raise her blade against him
Ok, that's enaugh! I really need to rewatch the Clone Wars again!!!
No, it's a trap!
It's not A TRAP!
@@itsATrappp the man himself
I actually got choked up watching this originally and seeing it again, I get the same reaction.
Ahsoka is literally the light, she is kept alive by the light side and saw the darkness spreading through the order
