One thing I wished people didn’t immediately assume is that Vader was trying to trick Ahsoka when he says her name. He looks visibly moved when she says she won’t leave him, and it’s almost like a glimmer of his old self peeks out before it’s extinguished.
Dave Filoni said that even if Ahsokah had went with Vader, he would have killed her. She brought him back for a second but the only one to really move Vader’s heart was his son. All of this was said in an interview
theres a beautiful edit that exists during his "Then you will die" line where Anakins eye is blue, and his voice is much clearer without the Vader filter, but as he delivers the "Die" line his eyes go back to the sith orange and it goes full vader voice. It shows off that doubt that ANAKIN had, before vaders anger and hatred took over.
Vader usually fights one handed with weaker opponents but switches to two handed if they last longer than he expects. So when he immediately fights with two hands it shows that Vader knows and respects how much Anakin has trained his padawan
Yes, but he destroyed her with two hands. And it really was quite difficult to fight Vader, one robotic hand felt like two and I don't know what the power of 4 feels like bursting into your defense. I think Ahsoka understood that making fast and light attacks was the only way to beat him, and realizing it he changes his fighting style and starts playing with her i'll hope to see both together on her series
If you notice in Kenobi this isn't true he's still one handed. He starts switching to two handed after a certain period of time by learning from his mistakes. This is after his loss to Kenobi, the second time, which is when he learned his last lesson from his master and starts becoming more of the menace we remember in the OT
@@Mateocabrera2389 She technically didn't end up living....until Ezra yanked her out of time/space. That's why she was just...gone from that point until The World Between Worlds...but Vader wasn't.
@@notinsaneAtall Well it's pretty obvious if you've followed her character since they Clone Wars. Every fan knew she left the Jedi Order, therefore is not a Jedi. Duh.
I will never get over the fact that Ahsoka was the closest person besides Luke to saving Anakin. Only Luke could bring him back, but Ahsoka was the one who got the farthest before him.
But still like I said that’s why it worked it was his Padawan actions that was able to become part of the key manage to broke part of the chain long enough to give some hope to Anakin and a few years later it was his own son Ahsoka, Luke two parts of the key that were able to bring Anakin back to defeat the emperor. There are gaps between those pieces moments where that would prove my story as well as that everyone else’s but now thanks to the comics as well as the series all of those questions are being answered.
man it really hurt hearing that "ahsoka" after she cut his mask, you can hear anakins voice and it just hits you in the feels then when she says "i wont leave you, not this time" and you see his eyes you can tell that he felt that and it just makes me really sad knowing Ahsoka never got to see anakin ever again
Fun fact: in the behind the scenes interview with filioni, when vader says, "Ahoska?" The first time it's Matt lanters voice over James earl jones' voice and the second time, it's James earl Jones over Matt lanters.
@@mathies3598 it is... That's why he wasn't in many episodes... They didn't want to afford him as much as they could... Now the Emperor, in Seasons 1 and 2, his voice is done by Sam Witwer and in Season 4 it's done by Ian McDiarmid
It means that those people paid attention! It was obvious that she comes up with this line! ... Did the same! She left the order (for good reasons) so she was never a JEDI again! ... Whats a good thing!
I love how, every other time we see him, Vader is so quick to ignite his saber. But not against Ahsoka. And not against Luke. Against them, he doesn't draw his blade until they already have.
Umm there's several times where he doesn't ignite. Sometimes he doesn't ignite until his mid fight. Anakin's arrogance has always been there. He just always believes he's the best.
@@puffytacoss that's not why he didn't ignite his saber you bozo. It's the opposite. Anakin had no hatred against Ahsoka, or at least not nearly as much as Obi Wan or himself. Anakin didn't want to fight Ahsoka. Thats why he didn't draw. What a donut.
@@puffytacoss No you do YOUR research I know Vader and Anakin lore. If anything, he draws his Saber and attacks when he's arrogant like in Obi Wan in episode 3 when he was torturing him. Having your weapon drawn always is dumb anyways and doesn't signify safety.
When Ahsoka said "I won't leave you. Not this time." You can see Anakins eyes reminiscing about her. But the anger consumed him again when he realized she left him when he needed her the most.
Vader is not angry with Ahsoka, he's angry at himself. Mosr of Vader's hate stems from him thinking he killed Padme. Vader doesn't think Ahsoka left him, it's irrelevant to him. The only thing that matters to Vader is killing every last Jedi & punishing himself.
Rey is a Mary Sue compared to Ahsoka Tano. Rey didn’t fight in the Clone Wars, survived Order 66, fought in the rebellion and still fights the Empire to this day and still hasn’t gone to the dark side.
I hated when Rey fought Kylo for the first time she curbed stomped him. Even she never picked up a Lightsaber before (and he trained all his life). Star Wars did this scenario before and alot better to. When Luke went to Cloud City to save his friends from Vader it was clear that Vader was holding back. At any given moment Vader could've killed Luke in countless ways but chose to go easy to try to bring him to the dark side and/or the emperor.
Feloni confirmed Ahsoka broke through to Anakin, however…. she was not enough. He lost everything to find power to protect and save Padme, That’s why only her Ghost and Luke ever broke through to him.
I was there when Primate dropped his first Star Wars video...I can say with certainty that watching him grow as a star wars fan since that point has been a tremendous thing to witness. Its like watching a child grow.
The most heart wrenching part of this is when ashoka says "I won't leave you, not this time." - The way she says this is the whole punch. The first half, its the young girl, the loyal friend of Anakin who battled alongside him and shared in his jokes and humour. The second is an apology and a solumn promise. Sorry for leaving before, sorry for not being there when he needed her, and also the promise to put an end to his suffering and to let him br at peace. Anakin is momentarily taken back by what she says, he knows she means it and he looks stung, then Vader comes back out.
For all the shit that get's flung at Rebels for being a subpar show it has to be admitted that some of the best moments in the franchise can be found here. This fight between Vader and Ahsoka and the fight between Maul and Obi Wan are two of the best scenes ever done in the Star Wars Universe.
People sleeping on the "revenge is not the jedi way" line. That's not just a sarcastic gottem quip. It is part that but, for just a moment, Vader falls victim to the familiar. Somewhere within him, and this shows later when his mask breaks too, there is still a part of Anakin remaining. And with that line, it creeps through. Vader could have said any number of things in that moment. He's known to be a hardass and contrarian in these moments, refusing to play by other people's social rules and flipping the script on them. He doesn't match the pace, he sets it, he doesn't get outsmarted, he dominates and destroys. But here, instead of doing that, he almost stumbles. "That's not the jedi way". Asohka is his student, and he is her master. He inadevertantly gives a lesson. Because that's what he does. That's what he's always done. The strength of the bond, the routine, it's enough to shake him if only for but a moment. At least that's how I saw this scene. And I think the only reason he wasn't able to completely dominate the fight afterwards is because "I am no jedi" was not part of the script for him. It didn't make sense. His world has always been sith and jedi, good and evil, right and wrong, one or the other. There was never a third option. He was expecting her to be one or the other, and she was neither. That was enough of a diversion to make him vulnerable here. This is why he falters. And his line wasn't just an ironic jab. It was a result of a mental stunlock.
I've never seen so many words typed that were so much of an misinterpretation. Cool theory just not at all what happened or what he's thinking. You forget he was there when she left the order and wasn't a Jedi anymore and even said he understood. Knew she wasn't evil but still not a Jedi. All you're seeing is him trying to toy with her by using what he knows based off experience and trying to be arrogant like Anakin/Vader is. He just didn't anticipate the response. Although he could have anticipated the response part seeing is how he knows she's a smart ass like him and Kenobi as well.
I've just binged all of clone wars and im now working my way through rebels for the first time. It just so happened that my roommate's boyfriend, who sorta convinced me to watch them in the first place, walked in as I got to this part so he got to see my genuine reaction the whole time. The way my breath caught when he says "Ahsoka" with the shattered mask with the layered voices just hits hard every time.
"Then you will die" The clone wars Anakin VA saying that and the classic lightsaber startup.. bro.. that was the most badass scene i have ever seen from Star Wars hands down
if only in the scene where they show vader's face with a half mask, after saying "Asohka" he blinks and his eyes turns blue, then when he blinks again his sith eyes return before saying "then you will die"
This actually feels like something more than just Anakin and Ahsoka.... 'Anakin Skywalker was weak, I destroyed him'... when Ahsoka says that she will avenge him.... this sounds so much like the Son and Daughter from Mortis. Anakin was subjected to what the Son wanted (what is seen, can never be 'unseen', regardless of what the Father did), whilst Ahsoka was given the lifeforce of the Daughter, and a new, more powerful life. The parallels from the Mortis arc, and this episode is too much to be a coincidence.... the Daughter realises what the Son has done, and confronts him. In the battle that follows, she wins a couple of fights, but he eventually gains the upper hand... and this is essentially repeated here. When Ahsoka replies with, 'I am no Jedi'.... she is speaking with the aspect of the Daughter. It really takes a special focus in the force to undo the 'Sith bleed effect' on khyber crystals, to change them to pure white.... and it is not something that can be taught.
This episode and this scene still gets me all these years later. This was a powerful scene in the show. There is nothing like watching this show as it came out. The uncertainty and anxious anticipation when the season ended kept me on the edge of my seat and counting down the days to the next season. This was the episode that officially got me hooked to the show. And the music when they begin fighting was just perfect. It simultaneously conveyed the tragedy of what was happening and the inevitability of the battle.
I don’t know if anybody noticed this. But for a moment, when Vader looked at Ahsoka, his pupil dialates. This happens when we look at something or someone we like, or have affection for, so he still cares for her deep down. But then his pupil shrinks again as his hatred returns, wonderful little detail they put in there.
To think that in the Mandolorian/Boba Fett times, Ahsoka was in a totally different, more Zen and mature state of being and state of mind, knowing full well she IS a Jedi and acting like one too.
She never said she was Jedi in the mandalorian or boba Fett. Other people called her that but she never took on that title. That's why she left. Perhaps you are the one whom has some maturing left to do. Having a head cannon is fine but insulting others for not having the same one is immature.
@@Dakarai_Knight , say what??What are you talking about?? Don’t know who you’re directing your comment to but….may the force be with you, I guess?? 🤷♂️
Came around to see this again, and finally noticed a detail: Vader fights Ahsoka by holding the lightsaber in both hands. He's taking this fight very seriously. You watch his appearances against the Jedi in "Rebels" and in other recent Star Wars media, and he fights other Jedi with the saber only in his right hand. I don't believe that's just chance. It's story design. It's a sign of arrogance and contempt: "I'll fight you one-handed just to entertain myself and make it seem fair." This fight caused him to snap out of that mode. Skywalker trained her very well, and he knew it.
I mean.. when this was coming out we didn't know her fate.. and since Vader.. well is Vader and he has to survive.. it's more "will she survive?" vs someone like Kanan vs Grand Inquisitor where it can be legit asked "will one of them die in this fight?" since neither are previously established characters..
I love how "I am no Jedi" has become probably Ahsoka Tano's most iconic line out of all the media she's been in. It just held SO much weight to it when she said that line in this episode! "Revenge is not the Jedi way." "I am no Jedi."
Season after season we watch Anakin protect Ahsoka, love her, more than anyone......then to see Vader hell bent on killing Snips. Holy hell absolutely heartbreaking 😭😭😭
8:35 Make sure you catch Jesse she's still watching this series , So is blind wave but they're almost finished , and storm And of course itsaprimate all who I subscribed to...Soon they will be watching Twin suns episode .. Itsaprimate is the most genuine the guy in the end Because he's watching everything like how we saw it....he's not jumping anything he has no clue what's gonna happen.. All in release order.. Everyone else knows what happens to one of the main characters ,Because of the Mandalorian episode
It's the little touch of bring Matt Lanter back for 2 voice lines is what breaks everyone's heart. Because in the first line Matt is more prominent, so you hear Anakin calling out to his apprentice. In the second line Matt is lowered so the Vader voice is the louder one, and is telling Ashoka she will die.
I like how all the sides and angles turned red at the exact same time Vader turned his lightsaber on while watching Gaxelle’s reaction (she’s cute, btw).
The reason Anakin allows Vader to stay in control and keep himself submissive to the pain of the dark side is because he believes he killed Padme and his unborn child. He can't imagine returning to be Anakin a be without them so even though he cares for Ahsoka he doesn't feel it is enough to forgive himself. Only when he sees Luke about to be killed and his daughter's eventual suffering at Luke's death is it enough to become the father, he never had but wants to be for them and Padme's memory. I theorize after he saves Luke and destroys the Sith Emperor, like Padme, dies of a broken heart, and not his suits failure. In Anakin's mind and heart, he can fulfill the prophecy save his children and pay for Padme, cleansing his soul (in his opinion) and bringing peace to the galaxy, at last. Thank you for your patience, may the Force be with you.
I’d rather watch this scene for 4 hours straight than watch Rise of Skywalker or Last Jedi. This scene is the perfect example of why Filoni should have done the sequels.
Does anyone else remember Anakins' eyes starting as blue when he first says Ahsoka when his helmet breaks. Then, turning back to orange when he says, then you shall die. I could have sworn that's how the scene went when I first saw it. But maybe that was just my brain rewriting it. Would been better that way.
I had to comeback to these clips after watching the finale of the Obi-Wan series. It's like everyone is taking a slice outta Darth Vader helmet 😆 🤣 😂 😹
I don’t understand why everyone thought Vader was trying to trick her when it was that Anakin called out to her. His eye visibly changes color showing just a glimpse of change from Vader to Anakin but then Vader overcomes Anakin again. When I first saw that scene I thought exactly how it was supposed to. Frustrating people think he’s trying to trick her like are y’all really Star Wars fans? 🥲😅
Yeah, she just badly wounded him (kind of like getting a splash of cold water) and is about to leave -- possibly forever. So some deeply repressed part of him, that still wants to see her, comes to the surface and calls out to her before he even realizes what he's doing.
You know say what you want but I'd feel Ahsoka would make more of an impact on Vader than Luke would, sure it's his son but he spent so much time with Ahsoka. Either way this scene will always get me sad and excited!
I think the fact that he knew her before he changed is part of why she never could've helped him. Whenever he gets near the light, Vader can always make the excuse in his own head that the people he knew didn't help him when he needed it or were even responsible for his fate. He can't bring himself to kill Luke because unlike every other fight, Luke's opposition to Vader is entirely because Vader valued his loyalty to Palpatine more then anything else and Luke is, well, a good person in a bad situation.
Only thing I wished was changed is that they made him focused his rage after a blink like "that hurt but not enough to kill" That would show how deep he was in vader and how he swapped
You know with the scene resetting after the line, “Then you will die!” Is funny cuz the first thing you hear is “It wouldn’t be the first time!” Referencing obviously when she did die in the clone wars and was then brought back. Happened once in this video but was really funny when it did
A sad thing that occurred to me whenever we see things like this. Scenes like this. The moment we see Ashoka resolved to face Vader in combat we know her fate is sealed. We *know* Vader cannot fall until his fate aboard the Death Star… like in the beginning we *know* the end…
i feel like Ahsoka would've helped Anakin redeemed himself if she didn't say "I won't leave you, not this time" i feel like that line alone triggered something
Nah, although it got to him slightly, his eyes never changed. She was third in line as to who could him out and wasn't close to being able to do it. It's impressive and justified enough that he even took a second to think. I get your point though. I wonder if his eyes would have changed for a second before returning to yellow if she left that part out
I like Vader’s voice in Rebels, I just don’t like how he says, “Revenge is not the Jedi way.” He says it a little too slowly and slightly slurred. He sounds drunk lol
One thing I wished people didn’t immediately assume is that Vader was trying to trick Ahsoka when he says her name. He looks visibly moved when she says she won’t leave him, and it’s almost like a glimmer of his old self peeks out before it’s extinguished.

This and the Maul/Obi-Wan scene get me every god damn time 😭
"Then you will die"
The clone wars Anakin VA saying that and the classic lightsaber startup.. bro.. that was the most badass scene i have ever seen from Star Wars hands down
if only in the scene where they show vader's face with a half mask, after saying "Asohka" he blinks and his eyes turns blue, then when he blinks again his sith eyes return before saying "then you will die"
This actually feels like something more than just Anakin and Ahsoka.... 'Anakin Skywalker was weak, I destroyed him'... when Ahsoka says that she will avenge him.... this sounds so much like the Son and Daughter from Mortis. Anakin was subjected to what the Son wanted (what is seen, can never be 'unseen', regardless of what the Father did), whilst Ahsoka was given the lifeforce of the Daughter, and a new, more powerful life.
The parallels from the Mortis arc, and this episode is too much to be a coincidence.... the Daughter realises what the Son has done, and confronts him. In the battle that follows, she wins a couple of fights, but he eventually gains the upper hand... and this is essentially repeated here.
When Ahsoka replies with, 'I am no Jedi'.... she is speaking with the aspect of the Daughter. It really takes a special focus in the force to undo the 'Sith bleed effect' on khyber crystals, to change them to pure white.... and it is not something that can be taught.
Good observation
This episode and this scene still gets me all these years later. This was a powerful scene in the show. There is nothing like watching this show as it came out. The uncertainty and anxious anticipation when the season ended kept me on the edge of my seat and counting down the days to the next season. This was the episode that officially got me hooked to the show. And the music when they begin fighting was just perfect. It simultaneously conveyed the tragedy of what was happening and the inevitability of the battle.
10:00 the guy is so excited 😂😂 but the woman doesn’t want to be there
Top ten scene in all of star wars. Maybe top 5
Second best line from the Star Wars world after “No. I’m your father” from Empire
Ahsoka will forever be the beet female protagonist imo. Her character arc and badassery is amazing.
I don’t know if anybody noticed this. But for a moment, when Vader looked at Ahsoka, his pupil dialates. This happens when we look at something or someone we like, or have affection for, so he still cares for her deep down. But then his pupil shrinks again as his hatred returns, wonderful little detail they put in there.
That happens when i look in the mirror, guess i hate myself ☹
@@MrToxic200 Who doesn’t 😂
@@mash9104 Wait do you mean who doesn't hate him or who doesn't hate themselves?
Yet another reaction mash up to an iconic SW moment! Keep em coming
Lmao SW just reminds me of Sex Worker
6:55 that was such a "YE- oh shit my parents are sleeping"
When you think deep about it it’s so sad thinking about the clone wars show and all the memories together, Maybe I’m drunk but it just hit me
It’s heartbreaking to see the mix of horror and heartbreak on her face when she sees Aniakin under Vader’s mask really good detail
That point where Matt Lanters voice pops in... heart stab every time.
To think that in the Mandolorian/Boba Fett times, Ahsoka was in a totally different, more Zen and mature state of being and state of mind, knowing full well she IS a Jedi and acting like one too.
Why is it important that Ahsoka acknowledge that she is a Jedi? Being a Jedi should NOT be important to her own self identity.
@@DRush76 It's not important she just accepted that she is. People get wise when they grow older. Your just not at that point yet.
She never said she was Jedi in the mandalorian or boba Fett. Other people called her that but she never took on that title. That's why she left. Perhaps you are the one whom has some maturing left to do. Having a head cannon is fine but insulting others for not having the same one is immature.
@@Dakarai_Knight , say what??What are you talking about?? Don’t know who you’re directing your comment to but….may the force be with you, I guess?? 🤷♂️
@@FREETHINKER-05 oh sorry I meant to put @Qugie
Came around to see this again, and finally noticed a detail: Vader fights Ahsoka by holding the lightsaber in both hands. He's taking this fight very seriously. You watch his appearances against the Jedi in "Rebels" and in other recent Star Wars media, and he fights other Jedi with the saber only in his right hand. I don't believe that's just chance. It's story design. It's a sign of arrogance and contempt: "I'll fight you one-handed just to entertain myself and make it seem fair." This fight caused him to snap out of that mode. Skywalker trained her very well, and he knew it.
I love how every reaction everyone's just like "Ashoka please don't die" cause Vader is just that guy
I mean.. when this was coming out we didn't know her fate.. and since Vader.. well is Vader and he has to survive.. it's more "will she survive?" vs someone like Kanan vs Grand Inquisitor where it can be legit asked "will one of them die in this fight?" since neither are previously established characters..
"I'm not afraid of you"
"then you shall die braver than most"
Everyone was literally about to start crying in this scene, as if they were trying to emotionally preparing themselves for Vader killing Ahsoka.
Goosebumps every time I see this
He should have said Revenge is not the Jedi way, Snips and taken her head while she was stunlocked.
“Use the force” that girl had me dead when she said that w those eyes🤣🤣
I like to believe that Ashoka opened the doorway for Luke to save Anakin from the persona of Darth Vader.
I love how "I am no Jedi" has become probably Ahsoka Tano's most iconic line out of all the media she's been in. It just held SO much weight to it when she said that line in this episode! "Revenge is not the Jedi way." "I am no Jedi."
my master could never be as file as you favorite line ahsoka ever said
Season after season we watch Anakin protect Ahsoka, love her, more than anyone......then to see Vader hell bent on killing Snips. Holy hell absolutely heartbreaking 😭😭😭
8:35 Make sure you catch Jesse she's still watching this series , So is blind wave but they're almost finished , and storm And of course itsaprimate all who I subscribed to...Soon they will be watching Twin suns episode .. Itsaprimate is the most genuine the guy in the end Because he's watching everything like how we saw it....he's not jumping anything he has no clue what's gonna happen.. All in release order.. Everyone else knows what happens to one of the main characters ,Because of the Mandalorian episode
It’s the best dialogue in all of star wars, totally epic
I can't believe no1 geek out the way I did when she said "I am no jedi" till this day I go bat shyt crazy over that line
It's the little touch of bring Matt Lanter back for 2 voice lines is what breaks everyone's heart. Because in the first line Matt is more prominent, so you hear Anakin calling out to his apprentice. In the second line Matt is lowered so the Vader voice is the louder one, and is telling Ashoka she will die.
I love the crazed and menacing look Ashoka gets in her eyes when she thinks Vader killed Anakin.
I like how all the sides and angles turned red at the exact same time Vader turned his lightsaber on while watching Gaxelle’s reaction (she’s cute, btw).
Ahsoka is truly my favourite Jedi knight. She has come a long way since she was a Padawan.
Hy Eowyn from The Lord Of The Rings
Hy Ahsoka from Star Wars
"I am no Jedi"
"I am no man"
The reason Anakin allows Vader to stay in control and keep himself submissive to the pain of the dark side is because he believes he killed Padme and his unborn child. He can't imagine returning to be Anakin a be without them so even though he cares for Ahsoka he doesn't feel it is enough to forgive himself. Only when he sees Luke about to be killed and his daughter's eventual suffering at Luke's death is it enough to become the father, he never had but wants to be for them and Padme's memory. I theorize after he saves Luke and destroys the Sith Emperor, like Padme, dies of a broken heart, and not his suits failure. In Anakin's mind and heart, he can fulfill the prophecy save his children and pay for Padme, cleansing his soul (in his opinion) and bringing peace to the galaxy, at last. Thank you for your patience, may the Force be with you.
I’d rather watch this scene for 4 hours straight than watch Rise of Skywalker or Last Jedi. This scene is the perfect example of why Filoni should have done the sequels.
I completely agree.
Does anyone else remember Anakins' eyes starting as blue when he first says Ahsoka when his helmet breaks. Then, turning back to orange when he says, then you shall die. I could have sworn that's how the scene went when I first saw it. But maybe that was just my brain rewriting it. Would been better that way.
no
Instead of Ahsoka, he should’ve said, “Snips?”
It wouldn’t have made sense. Vader was trying to distance himself from his past as Anakin, and this would’ve contradicted that
@ wow I forgot I commented this 😂
I had to comeback to these clips after watching the finale of the Obi-Wan series. It's like everyone is taking a slice outta Darth Vader helmet 😆 🤣 😂 😹
it goes to show how good Ahsoka is that she's on the very short list of people who fought Vader and lived
Reva survived twice. Strongest force user ever confirmed. Thanks KK 😒
What made this more gut renching was she never met him when he was redeemed.
I don’t understand why everyone thought Vader was trying to trick her when it was that Anakin called out to her. His eye visibly changes color showing just a glimpse of change from Vader to Anakin but then Vader overcomes Anakin again. When I first saw that scene I thought exactly how it was supposed to. Frustrating people think he’s trying to trick her like are y’all really Star Wars fans? 🥲😅
Yeah, she just badly wounded him (kind of like getting a splash of cold water) and is about to leave -- possibly forever.
So some deeply repressed part of him, that still wants to see her, comes to the surface and calls out to her before he even realizes what he's doing.
You know say what you want but I'd feel Ahsoka would make more of an impact on Vader than Luke would, sure it's his son but he spent so much time with Ahsoka. Either way this scene will always get me sad and excited!
I mean, it’s his child with Padme so it’s all he has left of her
I think the fact that he knew her before he changed is part of why she never could've helped him. Whenever he gets near the light, Vader can always make the excuse in his own head that the people he knew didn't help him when he needed it or were even responsible for his fate. He can't bring himself to kill Luke because unlike every other fight, Luke's opposition to Vader is entirely because Vader valued his loyalty to Palpatine more then anything else and Luke is, well, a good person in a bad situation.
The audio mix of Matt Lanter and James Earl Jones when the mask is broken is everything
Best moment in star wars history
Ahsoka is one of the best female badass characters that aren't cringe but awesome af
the obi wan series fight between obi wan and vader borrowed much of their fight from this
I love that they all knew exactly what was coming
Most of these people for sure have not see the clone wars. The reaction to anakins real voice was unforgettable
11:00 “Master versus apprentice… never thought I’d see the day”
Some guy with the high ground: 🤨
Only thing I wished was changed is that they made him focused his rage after a blink like "that hurt but not enough to kill"
That would show how deep he was in vader and how he swapped
She’s no Jedi, she’s a CiViLiAn!
what

Clone wars season 7 reference
Citizen.
It is crazy how when Ahsoka first came out, everyone hated her. Now she is one of the most loved. Now that is damn good character development.
I have "I am no Jedi" tattooed on my thigh with Ashoka's symbol
love how Anakins eyes soften for a second when Ahsoka says she wont leave him again, before hardening when he puts the Vader persona back on
This literally proved how right Maul was when he told Ahsoka about Vader
I didn't expect to be crying watching this
This is why I don’t understand in the new Ahsoka trailer when they are listing off her accolades and “JEDI” pops up. I thought ahsoka wasn’t a Jedi?
I didn’t know that “I’m no Jedi” is such a predictable line until now 😂
When she said she wont leave him again, vader remember she walked away, and he just, well yeah.
You know with the scene resetting after the line, “Then you will die!” Is funny cuz the first thing you hear is “It wouldn’t be the first time!” Referencing obviously when she did die in the clone wars and was then brought back. Happened once in this video but was really funny when it did
A sad thing that occurred to me whenever we see things like this. Scenes like this.
The moment we see Ashoka resolved to face Vader in combat we know her fate is sealed. We *know* Vader cannot fall until his fate aboard the Death Star… like in the beginning we *know* the end…
I think literally anyone pre-predicted that line. Even i did.
disney have the opportunity to release the best live action scene so far with this one
Rebels has got a few really S tier episodes.
i hope we get closure for Ahsoka and Anakin in the Ahsoka series
i feel like Ahsoka would've helped Anakin redeemed himself if she didn't say "I won't leave you, not this time" i feel like that line alone triggered something
Nah, although it got to him slightly, his eyes never changed. She was third in line as to who could him out and wasn't close to being able to do it. It's impressive and justified enough that he even took a second to think. I get your point though. I wonder if his eyes would have changed for a second before returning to yellow if she left that part out
I like Vader’s voice in Rebels, I just don’t like how he says, “Revenge is not the Jedi way.”
He says it a little too slowly and slightly slurred. He sounds drunk lol
i really wish vader had said snips in this scene
