    Ahsoka finally coming to terms with the fact that it wasn’t her fault what happened to Anakin was such a beautiful moment. We finally get such a big picture moment on why she has been so stoic and expressionless during her appearances. She tried to take on Sabine as a padawan before she could truly reconcile with herself. Attachment destroyed Anakin and destroyed her relationship with Sabine. It’s why she was so against training Grogu. Just as Obiwan came to realize in Kenobi that attachment can give one strength, she is coming to realize that attachment can be a strength for her as well

He doesn't try to copy from John Willams' score or any other iconic theme from the past, he keeps creating his own thing while throwing some iconic themes briefly in there, and it just makes the show feel sooo cinematic. I'm honestly surprised by how little he's done outside of Star Wars cuz he's great.

    That ending to this episode....the sense of wonder, of adventure, of endless capabilities....of pure, storytelling magic that makes you believe in a galaxy far, far away. That's Star Wars, and it is alive and well. Notice also, after Anakin teaches her the lesson she needs, to be able to move forward, Ashoka is draped in all white. A transformation has happened, and she even felt like Ashoka, the old Ashoka we know and love. And my God, what a performance by Hayden...Clearly he has major acting chops, and gave one hell of a performance. Makes you wonder how much of his prequel performance was due to writing and directing. All in all, jesus christ this was pure Star Wars magic. Can't wait to see where this takes us. The force is alive and well, my friends. Always.

    Those scenes with Anakin were absolutely PERFECT! When he ignited that red lightsaber I literally said “oh shit.” Some of those lightsaber hits just reminded you have how powerful he was. Those flashes between him and Vader gave me chills. With that armor he looked EXACTLY like Clone Wars Anakin. Hayden was on a whole other level of epicness and I loved every single second of it.
    Something else that I want to make sure is highlighted is the music. It was perfect and fit those scenes very, very well.
    I love how Ashoka seemed more hopeful when she woke up. Like she FELT like the Ashoka that we have always known. That scene with the Purrgil was glorious. The ending of this episode felt like the end of Empire Strikes Back. “Don’t worry, we’ll find them.”
    I can see why they showed this in theaters. Some of those shots were so cinematically epic. For real, Dave Filoni needs to be in charge of everything Star Wars. This was probably some of my favorite Star Wars ever!

      Anakin’s lesson is about darkness and light. Ahsoka came to the realisation that in a lot of ways he was mentoring her to become a potential Sith by focusing so much on the ways of war, and her own fear that she will mirror the path he took.
      However as with all things there’s always a choice and knowing what it is you want to become, Ashoka had forgotten how to live due to the weight/burden she carried that she would be corrupted as a mentor too. It was that very weight that was becoming a self fulfilling prophecy.
      So she awoke embracing the light and learning how to truly live again.

    I've already seen a lot of people talk about the flashbacks being "pointless," or them saying they don't understand what's being conveyed, and I'm just like... What's not to get?
    Ahsoka has always questioned what her role in not just the galaxy, but the force at large was. Ever since leaving the order, and ESPECIALLY after finding out who Vader was, she's been forced to wonder if any of her values come from the right place. This episode was Anakin forcing her to confront her past, move on from it, and embrace whatever may come in the future.
    It wasn't just a nostalgia trip for Clone Wars fans, and people boiling it down to that are being incredibly disingenuous. This whole show for me has pretty much been a 10/10, yet this episode exceeded my expectations in every possible way. I cried, I laughed, I giggled like a 4 year old.
