- How did Ahsoka Tano survive Order 66 when even the most skilled Jedi Masters were helpless against an army of clonetroopers? Ahsoka Tano, who was still a Padawan when she left the Jedi Order, insisted that she was not a Jedi. The clones still targeted her when Darth Sidious activated Order 66. Surrounded by clones, she was able to defend herself when most Jedi fell. Anakin Skywalker's unique training is what helped her survive.

While all Padawans are subjected to the same lightsaber proficiency test against remotes, Anakin wanted a realistic test for Ahsoka. Taken to a military operations center, she faces Captain Rex and 501st clone troopers, all of whom have their weapons set to stun. If she can fight off living opponents, Anakin says, she can handle anything a droid can throw at her. Over the course of several training sessions and countless setbacks, Ahsoka eventually learns to sense through the Force which clone will fire and when. It’s the repetition of this exercise that prepared Ahsoka to succeed where nearly all other Jedi failed.

My boy Rex iron will helped as well. He was not your average clone.
My understanding is that many of the ARC troopers did initially resist the order, but only a few were truly able to stop themselves from firing in the end.
"Not your average clone" is something weird to say, but I get you 😅
It probably helped that Ahsoka wasn't a jedi. Order 66 specifically commanded the clones to kill their jedi comanders. Palpatine had to give Rex special orders because of maul and Ahsoka both who didn't fall under order 66.
That man dropped tears tryna hold back that scene just hit different 🥹
Precisely. Plot armour.
Well, and all the other Jedi were shot without warning, whereas she had Rex trying to resist the order
Just dont forget, she tried not to kill any of them because she saw them like her friend. Also she tried to rescue her friend by herself against hundreds of clones in a falling ship. Also she was in small area which is an advantage for clones. Yes Rex resisted it but thats not enough to save her.
It’s what the video says and that Rex tried to warn her and give her some time
Not all. There were others that resisted a bit. But rex managed to resist completely.
@@JustTopcu it gave her a heads up. If he had just started blasting she wouldn’t have made it
@@danielboggan2479 You're right but in that situation i dont think any jedi could possibaly survive.
With Ahsoka's training from that exercise, she was able to differentiate the killing intent behind the clones and wasn't disillusioned by prejudice or her familiarity with the clones. She trusted in the Force, as she had become more receptive to its clairvoyance due to her departure from the Jedi Order. Rex's plea also helped convince her that something terrible was happening.
She learned the Breath of Life
She became a true jedi, separated herself from their dogma. She was in tune with the force, one with it.
@@Hezigrimm being away from the temple, which is built on an old Sith temple probably helps clear the force
“It was in this moment Ashoka became Quigon Jim” 😂
@@Hezigrimm except she stuck to the light side so as true to the force as a light side user can get

Well, Han, like Anakin, understood that no simulated fight with a droid can train you for real combat!
"It's like poetry, it rhymes"
@@SirTorcharite except when you get shot that ain’t poetry slapping that’s a real mfing blaster shot😂
REFERENCE ALERT
I remember this. I think it was both: Anakin’s training her before Order 66 with the similar trooper attack, and Rex helping her during the Order 66 event. Thumbs up for the video.
It was just added to canon via tales of the jedi so you better remember lol
Also she greatly increased her ability with the force by a lot. Growth she would not have had in the order.
Maul did some freaking work that day too lol. Without him they'd be dead. In a better world he would have been a great Jedi but he was taken by the sith as a child. His character arch shows he's really not evil. He's not good but why would he be? Not one person ever was good to him. Considering everything he did and was in the end he showed himself as impartial. I think the fact that he could be so in deep into the dark side but not let it fully take him ever means he had the potential to be a powerful and caring Jedi. I really could see an alternative universe where he was actually found by qui Gon gin as a child and grew up training next to obi one and had a great friendship with him. He was just lost between the light and the dark and never found his place like the other sith. They all either died bad or came back in the end. But he was just destined for a life of conflict and outcast..
Let's not forget to give credit to Captain Rex and his iron will
Dont you mean his bescar will
Plot armored will
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Even during order 66 Anakin was always with her to help her. There so much love and pain behind their relationship 😭
Ahsoka is one of my favourites jedi, literally the best character in clone wars
She's no Jedi
@@JoseCruz-qg1oc I was talking about clone wars. Sure, in final season she was not a jedi anymore.
@@Haki_66 True that my brother
It's like deep down Anakin knew what he was training her for!
Probably, there was an episode where the physical embodiment of the dark side gave him future memories of his time as Vader, then it was removed later in the arc, some things may have stuck subconsciously
he knew that. dat wet dream . in the prequels.
@@damiansaturday6788 I’ve also heard things about Anakin being a departure from your typical Jedi. Most Jedi train with their Lightsabers as a last resort means of defending themselves. They view violence as a last resort, and therefore don’t train extensively for combat. Anakin, however, loved lightsaber combat. He built a lightsaber designed for combat, rather than an item of ceremony. He also trained diligently, more than most other Jedi. While Ahsoka doesn’t share Anakin’s love of fighting, she clearly learned more combat skills compared to your average Padawan and had ample opportunity to test them, either in actual battle or in mock fights against Clones. She also knew Captain Rex well enough to immediately recognize that something was wrong.
@@damiansaturday6788oh ive seen that episode
Another reason I loved Anakin so much, he was one of THE BEST mentor characters I've ever seen. He taught Ahsoka well
Anakin trained her very well. He took special care of Asoka.
He's really good with the younglings...
💀@@DrakeOola
She was trained by the chosen one that’s why
He said that in the video bruh
Don't you know training doesn't mean squat. Rey didn't know the force existed and kicking ass. 😂
@@mjbset93 Who's Rey?
@@mjbset93 rey isnt a real person
@@mjbset93 Rey doesn’t exist as far as everyone is concerned
She was trained hard by Anakin, he taught her to feel and trust the force to know when enemy like a trained clone to shift fingers to fire. Anakin didn’t approve the training and testing with droids he felt to be on top she needed to learn to be able to stand against the best of the best. It does her well too, also Rex resisted the chip he had a major role helping her
This makes sense and here's why, clone troopers were known to have precise aim, better than many other shooters in the galaxy, especially those who used dual pistols like Jango fett, anakin is right about droids being predictedable, where as the clone troopers are far more intelligent and could aim and predict movements alot better, this was even shown in rebels when Rex sniped a droid from afar, the other jedi weren't use to precise aiming, they were use to droids and even before the war where they did face biological enemies who could aim extremely well, it was rare for them to be ambushed and caught off guard and it's known that having an extra saber is more effective to block blaster shots, even double bladed sabers are effective in deflecting blaster shots, cause it's more blade and extra defense, these reasons are why ahsoka survived better than many other jedi
No shit😊
@@wolfshadow_Obama_Osamalet ppl have fun, you could’ve ignored the comment
@@wolfshadow_Obama_Osama loser
@@aaronweir474 extra saber is more effective for blocking blaster bolts 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 droids being more predictable than clones 😳😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
She kinda had prior warning by Rex and she could see his facial expressions moving mad a few moments before executing the order
yes but that wasn’t enough to save her. She still would’ve died if it wasn’t for Anakins harsh training techniques. Rex does deserve some form of recognition bc without him they would’ve both died
Anakin, Rex and Ashoka will always be the greatest Star Wars team
“Luke, did I ever tell you about Ahsoka Tano?”
I'm actually really glad that they showed this in the final season because ever since I watched Rebels I wanted to know how she survived and how Rex removed his chip. I actually had a theory way back when watched it that during order 66 she was at the jedi Temple and hid in the vents and she watched her old master slaughter the younglings and was horrified, then she crawled even deeper so she could get to a ship but when she came out of the vents she was greeted by Rex and a few other 501st troopers and the only one she could save was Rex.
But then you realised that ahsoka was still on the venator, The raid on the temple was starting up right as order 66 went down.
So unless ahsoka can run faster then the flash and fly faster then superman, Theres no way she could have been there.
And despite that Anakin still didn't granted the rank of master.
But he was given the name Darth 😉
"That's unfair!"
Wasnt anakin was given rank of master though but wasn’t granted a seat at the Jedi council?
@@deltahorizon200other way around. He was given a seat on the council but not the rank of Master
Anakin was a prophecy, but never trusted. If they granted him the rank of Master he would have had more freedom.
The Council's decisions were influenced by their desire to keep Anakin under surveillance.
Anakin was the best teacher/friend/mester ever!!!
She also sensed Anakin's fall slightly before the others.
That combined with Rex resisting for a few seconds was the edge she needed.
This isn’t true. If you watch the scene, Maul also felt it happen.
This hurts. He always trained her against himself🥺
not true friend. everything happened 4 . a reason 😜.
that's exactly why. anakin had dat. extra secret training.
he trained ashoka. to survive what. was coming ✌️.
may da 4s . b with u. alway's & 4eva.
There's nothing here that wasn't in Tales of the Jedi, or in 80 other videos one TH-cam. Anakin's training did more for her than that one day. I know I'm not the only person who immediately remembered Ahsoka's prison escape on Coruscant. There were many thousands of shock troopers after her, some of them with service animals. Others were flying around her in military aircraft. They were all on their game that evening, the elite of the elite. Nothing but volleys of blaster fire and stun rays. I think there was someone sitting in a skycannon, shooting at Ahsoka at first. Ahsoka didn't slow down in the least, but replicated some of the moves EXACTLY as she did them in Tales of the Jedi. She lost 1 of her shota, but that was no problem, because Anakin gave her 2 more lightsabers soon afterward, just before Order 66. That was mad impressive! That particular training saved her at least 2 times. And that's not the only thing Anakin taught her that saved her life.
If you watch the journey of Asoka, from the very first episode that she was introduced, she was literally thrown off the diving board into the deep end. She almost died several times in the clone wars series and had her skills pushed to their very limits day in and day out. She was no joke, so I’m not surprised that she survived
"Let's hope all that training payed off"
She has fought vader and lived. I'd say it payed off.
Love it when storywriters pay attention details like that, and reflect it in how they write the story.
Anakin didnt teach her how to fight, he taught her how to survive
It's either live or die. There's no in between. Surviving isn't living. Nor is it killing/dying. It's either one or the other. There is no both. Only the light and the dark. Yin and Yang. Left and Right. Back and Forth. What will you do?
She was also taught by obi wan, plokoon and other extremely good jedi. Ashoka is stubborn enough to learn quickly yet smart enough to listen.
Jedi Order: "Attachments make us weaker"
**Anakin attachments is what made him take Ahsoka his training so she could protect herself**
Jedi Order: ._. XD
His attachment to Padme also made him kill a bunch of kids so I wouldn't act like the Jedi were wrong
@@LordVader1094 they were definitely wrong. If they had done a couple basic things they could’ve survived but no because they hated attachments they all died out
@@nightfallreviews1533 Almost every Jedi had attachments, even Yoda had a attachments, we can see in Revenge of the Sith that he was developing when he sensed what was going on as he not only realized he lost but that the Jedi had fallen
@@LordVader1094yeah, but if he could talk more openly about what was bothering him with the visions that situation never would have happened.
@@LordVader1094 actually it was attachments being forbidden which made anakin not feel comfortable talking about his nightmares that caused him to turn to the dark side
Ahsoka was amongst the most capable saber combatants the galaxy has ever know. Not to mention her intensely sensitive connection to the force.
Anakin is the best teacher. Unorthodox but effective you will survive clone wars if anakin was your master.
Came here to agree with those mentioning Captain Rex. He was able to resist the inhibitor chip protocol because of his deep friendship with Ahsoka. He loved her and couldn't bring himself to harm her. Props to the GOAT, Rex. 🙏🏿
He was amongst the Clones shooting at Ahsoka after the transmission came through, so he did succumb to the inhibitor chip, but he was able to fight it at least, which is more than can be said for most Clones. I dunno if that speaks to Rex having a greater willpower than other clones or is a result of his close bond with Ahsoka specifically, but he did resist where most Clones did not or could not.
The clones' respect for Ashoka was the reason they tried to kill her :(. They viewed her as a true Jedi even though she wasn't in the order, that makes it even more sad.
What?
That makes absolutely no sense
The reason they tried killing her was because the chips made them do so.
They had no choice
@@alyssacrawshaw828 I thought the chips only made them target Jedi, which is why they didn't go after Vader during the attack on the Jedi Temple. Ashoka wasn't a Jedi but they still targeted her because they viewed her as one.
@@quinniferlawrencegayrights400 bro its not like Palpatine updated the chips in all troopers to not identify ashoka as a jedi.
In the episode, Jesse reveals that Ahsoka was specifically included in the order by Palpatine. He told them to execute Ahsoka when transmitting the order (probably during the part we didn't hear discussed between Rex and Palpatine, when the viewer is being shown Ahsoka reacting to Anakin's turn). Jesse reveals this when Rex tries to talk Jesse out of harming Ahsoka using the reasoning that she is not a Jedi. Her execution order came from Palpatine directly; he wanted to make sure that loophole was closed and her fate sealed (though she ofc escapes).
yea it hits even harder when they were a chunk of 501st troopers that were assigned to her; the 332nd. her own part of the 501st. her army basically, that was a gift from Anakin. her order 66 arc really was one of the sadder ones
Rex's training is arguably the most important factor. You need those seconds to survive.
When a bad parent occasionally pulls off good parenting.
Darth Vader finds out Ahsoka survived Order 66: “that’s ma girl!”
I loved that Anakin incorporated the Clones of the 501st into his training of Ahsoka. It was such a good idea and it shows that Anakin was definitely one of the smartest Jedi, despite a lot of people doubting him.
Him: How did Ahsoka Tano manage to survi-
Me: Plot armor.
Her dual bladed fighting style also helped, as she could block from all directions, rather than just one side.
It also helped that the ones that tried to kill her were the 501st, who she also trained againts. Helps that you're literally training againts your actual eventual enemies.
That's why repetition is extremely important.
Rex was one of the
clones that wasn't completely dependent(idk the right word for it) on the inhibitor chip, which is why he seemed to have more free will and was able to fight off the order and survive the removal better then most
She's also had two prior experiences surviving hostile clones- when she was trapped on the ship with all the infected clones and when she was being framed for murder.
She was pretty uniquely put into a place where she had a lot of practical experience.
Just shows how much Anakin was attached to those he loved. He trained her that way so there was a better chance that he would not lose her. I mean we all know the lengths he would go to save the ones he loved.
bro really prepared her for the betray, bro really wanted her to handle anything, ALSO remember that trainning wasn't the only thing helped her on the order 66, remember ahsoka's run when was acused? was almost like it
Let's not forget, Rex gave her a Few seconds of warning by NOT attacking her first and resisting order 66 and protecting her from the other clones. That along with Anakin's training helped her survive.
She is the new Jedi Exile.
Anakin was truly the best the jedi had to offer. Unfortunate that they pushed him away
@Chuuma - The Jedi Council didn’t know what to do when they were given The Chosen One. When Anakin needed help, he went to Yoda, who gave him no help at all.
I would add that Rex’s exceptional will power against order 66 helped her survive as well. By him resisting the order for those few seconds, he bought her some time and that contributed to her survival.
Should have ended the video with the part where Rex, says to her “Let’s see if all that training paid off. 👌
Damn he kinda foreshadowed what was gonna happen before he was even broken
Literally had the best sibling like relationship in history
Honestly it's more like father daughter. And obi wan is the cool uncle that's always around. Pol koon is the cool uncle that's hardly ever there.
Anakins training was ahead of its time. He thought about things from a realistic sense from his harsh experiences on tattooine. The jedi didn't and probably thought of him as being to extreme but his training is what kept her alive while if the jedi had her only doing just couple sessions of training droids, she'd be dirt.
Rexes hesitation would’ve helped because it warned her
I’d say a big shoutout to Fives as well! my boy saved Rex and Ahsoka as well while being dead
Yess, thanks to Fives. Man, Star Wars is painful to watch after rememering the beginning and the good times when everyone was alive and now how everything changed. Memories are so bitter sweet. Don't mind me rambling, rewatched everything and in the feels again.
He prepared her, not just for ANY living thing, but Rex's men. Rex's men were the best of the best, and their skills were far superior to most living beings. If she could withstand them, she would outmatch nearly all of her adversaries.
That's why anikin is the goat 🐐
Mad respect to Ashoka 🫡
I wonder how good her defense would be if Obi Wan helped Anakin with his advice on defense
Ahsoka is so badass
Practice makes perfect, as they say.
Wow, what a loving master and big brother Anakin was. He could probably feel the possibility of a clone trooper turning on them one day. He had no idea how true that would be, but he was willing to train her harshly because he wanted her to survive.
Anakin is what the Jedi should have been, not some group of psychopaths that kidnap children and not show any emotion
Ani made sure to free the children on the way out. 😇
If Qui Gon survived, they may have been.
Love Tales of the Jedi, brought some new light on things. I remember as a kid asking where Yaddle was when Star Wars 2 came out
He is here, I sense it
No no no not here to
🙂
GOD FUCKING DAMN YOU
Rex was really tryin to resist the order because he’s made an incredible bond with her and I’ve know from Tales of the Jedi that this training with Anakin is what helped her survive order 66
Well the other Jedi were shot without warning and rex was trying to resist and then she also had help from Rex a few droids and of course Darth maul himself
Another factor, I think, that helped the Clone Troopers ambush the Jedi is that they had no ill will towards them, they merely were following orders, so the Jedi were caught off guard since they felt no malice from the Clones. Thanks to Anakin's training, Ahsoka could predict the Clones' attacks even if they had no malice in their hearts.
Meanwhile the other Jedi could defend themselves against emotionless droids...
This series never made canonical sense
It made perfect sense, the Jedi Order went insane and became an incompetent bureaucracy that even a young Anakin could run circles around.
She also had Rex's clue to Fives. She had a lot of advantages that the other Jedi didn't have.
But Rex helped her escape
Rex would have killed her if anakin didn’t train her
Yeah, you're right
There’s definitely this training, but there’s also the fact that Ashoka was thrown in the deep end for her entire training, she almost died many times and she was pushed far harder than the average Padawan, thanks to Anakin. She also fought clones and her friends who were under a form of mind control before, in the episode with the Geonosian queen. She trusted Rex and his men enough to know that it wasn’t really them, that something was wrong. And Rex and his iron will and ability to fight helped that as well. Ahsoka’s survival of Order 66 was so many factors, most of which actually came down to attachment. Anakin’s attachment to her driving him to push her and train her to protect herself as much as possible, Rex’s attachment to her to allow him to fight the order, Ahsoka’s attachment to Anakin and to Rex that allowed her that moment’s warning. It was all those attachments that actually made her stronger in the end.
To be clear, Ashoka was able to hold down about 5 minutes of fire. Just enough time to come up with a solution. Unlike Stormtroopers, the Clones could problem solve much better than other soldiers and would eventually take down a Jedi.
Stormtroopers could too
Tire them out is the only real solution against the better jedi in most cases. Ashoka didn't stick around for that to happen.
I like that we’ve had some progression in a good idea of how well a Jedi can deflect blasts rather than simply assuming all of them can never be hit
They wrote it that way thats how
Yup, just nothin but plot armor
Anakin’s lightsaber skill was unique. It was a mix of 5 forms of lightsaber combat. “Obi-Wan taught you well”..😂
She survived thanks to an ability I like to call “plot armor”
How
that and her leaving the temple helped to make her since in the force better. Because it was sitting on the dark side Nexus which dulled the other Jedi's ability to sense the force that's why her leaving the temple made her stronger. Anything relying on Google sucks dear God there's so many words when I originally posted this Google is a piece of f****** s***
Typical hater...
@@jamaicanpikachu1026 they were sitting on the dark side Nexus thus making the Jedi weaker in the force because they're f****** idiots the Jedi Temple sits on top of that Nexus that is how
that wasn't plot amor, she didn't just run or magically made all troopers disappear. she was given really good fighting tactics, she had intense training of exactly that scenario and again- really good moves.
It's so heart breaking.

Omg dude I didn’t realize the parallels while watch that episode until now. Filoni is so awesome
More proof Anakin and Ahsoka are the best Padawan and Master team-up
Excellent Research and great vid
Also because the other Jedi had no warning. But Rex held back for a moment giving her time to draw her lightsabers and fight off the attack.
Great attention to detail
“When even the most skilled jedi masters”
*shows ki adi mundi*
My reaction as well😂
Couldn’t have said it better myself you nailed every fact👏👏
Ahsoka Tano - the child of prophecy
It was also the second light saber which was given to her specifically to help boost her blaster defense
She was actually given the rank of the Jedi Knight after her military trial, but declined the order entirely as she was then disillusioned.
Also the fact that she had two lightsabers while other Jedi had one, the Jedi with one were easily overpowered by blasters, the two lightsabers help with protection in multiple directions.
ITS. NOT. JUST. ANAKIN. Giving all the props to her survival to Anakin tremendously undermines her as a character.
Happy to see so many giving Rex his credit. He was a good soldier and loyal friend for so many years. So now we just need them to officially make Nik Sant Rex’s new Rebel Identity. He deserves that character longevity.
Trained like a sith, heart of a Jedi.
Gotta give respect to Rex for trying to resist the order.
Training, Rex's will of iron, and a tiny, tiny hint of plot armor
SO GOOD! ...If Disney could only see what was so good, they would understand why Acolyte was so terrible.
