That was THE BEST Episode. Thank you Dave Filoni. Also thank you Ludwig Göransson for taking Kevin Kiner's Ahsoka theme and making us all cry at the end....
@@L96A2 I don't have a timestamp for you, but it's just as Ahsoka turns up to the Razorcrest to talk to Mando. It appears a little earlier in the episode from time to time but that is when it's the most powerful imo.
Lets be honest Rosario Dawnson had a huge task and so did the make up artists. They nailed it. What I didnt expect was for Rosario to try and suit her voice to Ashley. When she first spoke i felt tears cause it seemed like Ahsoka form the Clone Wars show. I hope to see more
There were little hints of Ashley’s inflections here and there. The facial expressions helped seal the deal though. The little grin before she jumped over the tree and defeated Mando’s grapple was pure Ahsoka
I think she spoke like ahsoka does, much like how Hayden speaks like Vader does. Obviously the voice is different but the actual way in which they talk is so similar at times. I bet Ashley is so, so proud to see Ahsoka on the screen in live action.
There was a moment during Din and Ahsoka's fight where she looks up at a branch, smirks, and pulls Din up in the air with his own rope. That smirk, that's was the moment.
@@kylemajerczyk8160 I agree. I felt like she could have showed alot more emotion though when she was referencing anakin. Idk if it was the makeup blocking her expressions, but her voice didn't carry that much sadness. Other than that though, she was pretty good as ashoka. Also, they could have used cgi to make her montrails bigger, cuz they look really small for her age. (The two things that come down the chest that togruta people have)

And now she finally made to our screens in her live action debut. Last Friday made me so happy. I am so excited to see who the Jedi they are looking for will be.
Ahsoka seems pretty wise and experienced in this episode...¿Remember when she was only an enthusiastic and impulsive 14-year old padawan that everyone hated? We have definitely grown old
She seemed kinda distant and cold, and when fighting the villains she looks pretty deadly and even villanous. She also seemed she doesn't want there to be a new Jedi Order. I think she is right now a grey force user who knows it's time for the Jedi to end.
@@jamesjohns7830 I can only imagine her interacting with Luke. Luke sharing with her Anakin's final moments and redeeming himself. I'm sure it would put a smile on her face and give her closure as to what happened to her former master
@@jamesjohns7830 She understands the dangers of attachments, but not their benifits. Luke's original New Jedi Order is exactly what shows that you need to control your feelings and passions, not bury and abandon them entirely, something a bit closer to the Grey Jedi code, but still serving the light side.

"Take heart little one, that's the reality of command." "Ahsoka, I am so sorry." "For what?" "For letting go, for letting you get taken it was my fault." "When I was out there, all I had was your training and the lessons you taught me, and because of you I did survive, not only that but I was able to lead others to survive as well. Thank you, Master." "You're welcome, my Padawan." "I don't know who to trust." "I would never hurt you Ahsoka Ever." "Anakin, you have to trust me now." "I do trust you." "I know you do. Wish me luck."

What I love about Ahsoka is that she went from being an annoying "side kick" to Anakin in season 1 of the clone wars, to being one of the most loved characters in the history of Star Wars.
Definitely and let's not forget she's this great of a character because she started out as that annoying sidekick, the most beautiful thing about her character was her growth. Maybe back then I found her annoying but now I wouldn't have it any other way tbh
@@bri12345ification - I saw the Clone Wars movie and a couple of the first season episodes, up until Malevolence. But knowing so much more about Ahsoka over the years and who she is, going back and watching those episodes, I only smile now... knowing who and what she will become.

@@Parzival0117 this is why I ignore the existence of the sequel trilogy. Everyone is a sad loser whose entire life's work was completely undone by bad writing.
I am crying. The music, the moment of realization that we finally have her as a live action character! And it happened while I am working for my pre exams, so the Mandalorian is pretty much the only thing what I'm looking forward to. And now they gave us Ahsoka in live action, a person who is real and important to me, and I know I'm not the only one who feels like that. It's all a bit to much to handle for me. Call me soft, call me weak, it's true, she makes me soft and weak. Call me weird, I don't care. I am happy for tonight. All love from a grateful Star Wars Fan! (We are rare, but we exist)
This, this right here, is the way, im as greatful as you are for this moment since 2008 we been following her and now her charactar is comming full circle, i wish you good luck with your exams fellow starwars fan
I’m old enough to remember when the Clone Wars movie came out and Ashoka Tano was introduced. She wasn’t particularly well-liked, and some even say she was the worst part of that movie. Seeing her grow from that into one of the most compelling, complex, and adored characters of this fandom was an absolute joy, and I’m happy to have witnessed that.
@@lukastace3154 she's more of a Jedi than most any Jedi before her because she is not driven into their code and politics she is true to her morals and int turn she is the greatest jedi who has ever lived (sry for my grammar😅)
James The Jedi Order was corrupted to the point where the only way to bring balance to the universe was to destroy the Jedi. Whereas their original purpose was to become guardians of peace and justice instead of dogs for the Republic. Ashoka is what the Jedi is supposed to be.
What we really need to see is Ahsoka seeing Anakin's Force Ghost. That will really bring tears to everyone's eyes. Edit: IT HAPPENED! IT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!! Edit 2: I just watched it!! IT WAS GLORIOUS!!!!
Boba Fett returns Bo Catan returns Ahsoka returns Yoda and Anakin references Typhon Temple exists Admiral Thrawn confirmed SEASON 2 IS BEST STAR WARS CONTENT AFTER OG AND REVENGE OF SITH
I'm actually really pleased with this portrayal of Ahsoka. Being the first person to bring her to life in Live-Action is a tremendous task. Rosario Dawson delivered an amazing performance. I only wish that her first line was "I am *no* Jedi.". That's the only thing I'd change about this episode.
@Batır Yarmaz vader and anakin are different personalities. Vader is a darkside Anakin is a lightside Anakin couldn't control his hatred, anger and lust for power which allowed vader to take over. Like Obi-Wan stated" you have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind". And darth vader stating" anakin Skywalker is dead, i destroyed him".
@@PseudonymUltimate Both Vader and Anakin share the same weakness. They let their emotions take over. This is why Anakin was never truly all light side and why Vader isn't truly all dark side. The chosen one has no identity he just bounces between personalities, there's a some what balance there but is far from a stable one. Things like this prove why we need a Vader series!
I started to shed tears when I heard her theme 😥 remembering all what she has been through and yet she is still able to smile. Her interaction with Grogu was so heart warming
The epesode with her on it in mandalorian was amazing. Her actress was perfect in my opinion and the story we have been on from the clone wars to the mandalorian makes me look back years of history we as fans have laughed and cried through that journey.
I've never seen them, nor Ahsoka's character before (only heard of her) and I thought this episode was the best one yet; I loved Ahsoka, thought Dawson did an amazing job, and the scene at the end with this music actually made me cry, to my surprise. Really hope we see more of her.
@@granola661 the convor (looks like an owl) that follows her around. It represents the light side of the force or “the sister” from the mortis arc in the clone wars. Ahsoka was brought back to life by the sister, so now morai follows her around and is known as her symbol
I turned 18 yesterday, (Oct 20th, 2021), and I listened to this song a lot before my birthday because Ahsoka was a huge part of my childhood. She kinda represented what it be like for a kid to grow up in such a broken galaxy, but she’d always keep optimistic around her family. I felt like Ahsoka a lot when I was little. And honestly, I’m so proud I get to grow old with her as we revisit her story in her own series. Love you Snips ❤️
Rosario killed it!! It was maybe the most anticipated role in live action and she simply nailed it! Hope to see more of her ahsoka cause she totally is the best bridge between animation and live action!
When I was out there, alone, all I had was your training and the lessons you taught me. And because of you, I did survive. And not only that, I was able to lead others to survive as well. I don’t know what to say. I do. Thank you, Master. You’re welcome, my Padawan. ~Ahsoka and Anakin
Anakin Skywalker had faults and flaws that completely consumed him and destroyed almost everyone he ever knew in his life. He did have one virtue though, he was a really good teacher.
i remember when Ahsoka left anakin in Clone Wars, and the scene itself alongside her musical theme made me burst into racking sobs that lasted 2 hours. something about ahsoka (and her relationship to Anakin) just digs so deep in your heart strings. I am so glad that Kiner created that theme
I can only imagine how she reacted when meeting Luke, learning he was Anakin's son, and that in the end, Anakin overcame Vader and died to save him from Sidious. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that she broke down in tears and was consoled by Luke.
@@gunatitmehta7692 like a scene from just after Return of the Jedi where Ahsoka learns that Vader is no more? I'd love to see that happen. Both would be amazed to see the other, especially if R2D2 vouched for her being an old friend and for Luke being Anakin's son
The way her theme came in when the Razor Crest was taking off really was a gut punch to me. Ahsoka's theme was honestly always a bit prophetic as to her character: raised and taught by a renegade Jedi doomed to fall in order to save the galaxy, she herself was doomed to become a renegade who would LEAVE the Jedi in order to transcend to new heights and, as we saw in the new Boba episode, help to re-establish the Jedi by aiding her former master's son. Through all the pain, she never abandoned the principles that Anakin taught her, the principles that Luke saw buried in Vader, those principles that brought balance to the Force. There aren't many of them left, but the critics really do need to look at just how beautiful the journey of Ahsoka Tano actually is.
I cried when Ashoka left the Jedi, I had tears of joy seeing her apart of the rebellion, I laughed when she smuggled spice, I saddened when she fakes her death, I was excited hearing her voice speaking to Rey, I am at great awe seeing her free the villagers from the mercy with Mando
Many possibilities: a.) Maybe she started considering herself a Jedi because there weren't many left anyways b.) She probably didnt want to confuse the shit out of Din, he already seemed confused on the concept of the force.
They allude to the new audience that there is more to her than she lets on. It is essentially marketing for her own show where her "place" will ve explained to the mainstream audience.
Just watched EP. 5 and wow. Stunning. Dawson did an AMAZING job conveying both wisdom and that bit of sass that never quite left. Thanks for this piece!!
The entire episode was a masterwork of sound design. From This music, to Yoda's theme, to the Beskar clanking and lightsaber whaling. The episode was simply phenomenal to listen to.
I kept feeling like I wanted to cry at the end of the episode and I couldn't tell why but then I realized it was the music that was reminding me of Ashoka gathering the helmets of all the fallen clones at the end of Clone Wars season 7 and I remembered why I love this character so much.... That is what a well composed soundtrack should do and I thank Ludwig Görransen for adding it in so beautifully.
I loved how the ending seen of her walking off by herself rhymed with so many of her big scenes-the moment she walks away from the Jedi, the moment she leaves with Rex after Order 66, the scene of her descending the steps on Malachor. These scenes all tell us that Ahsoka is setting off on a new path, that she’s turning to the next chapter of her life.
I started crying at the end of the episode when her theme started playing, it was the perfect closure to an amazing episode. Thank you Dave Filoni, you have proved us that Star Wars is alive, more than ever 🧡💙🤍
Imagine this. We are in a different timeline, and Ahsoka is the one facing Sidious at the end of episode 9. She's standing there, eyes closed, focusing, remembering all her past life since the clone wars, and then she hears a voice. That's Anakin, soon followed by the voice of Obi, Yoda, Mace, and all of the other Jedi she knew, loved, outlived. They give her all the strenght she needs to overcome her adversary, who is all alone, no matter how old and powerful he is. She opens her eyes, smilling, fully revigored and ready, with the might of a thousand Jedi within. And she strikes, putting a definitive end to Palpatine. A fair payback for everything he has done to her, and the ones she used to know, directly or not. All that while Rey is somewhere on Jakku dusting stuff, away from everything...
This is a beautiful piece of music; it really made the episode. I've never seen Ahsoka in anything before, so this was my introduction to the character. i thought the actress did an amazing job portraying a Jedi; felt like the first time I'd seen one since the prequels in a way; the story and portrayal of her felt very true to the spirit of the Jedi. And I was shocked but the end actually made me cry; the combination of the music, and Dawson's performance, embodied for me everything the Jedi were; contentment, joy, stoicism, sadness and pain too at being alone, and nobility and endurance. Thought it was the best episode yet and I hope we see more of her character.
What a beautifully written opinion. I totally agree. In contrast, as a die hard fan, I’ve watched Ahsoka in the Clone Wars for 12 years, and seeing her in live action for the first time was just incredible and emotional. It fills me with so much happiness that Star Wars is finally back! The sequels were a COMPLETE disaster. I didn’t resonate with them at all. Rey was an unbelievable and characterless “Jedi”. She doesn’t come close to Ahsoka! It hurts that this production team was not utilised for the sequels, who could have improved the movies links to Rebels, Clone Wars, The Prequels and the Old Trilogy. Instead, we got a meaningless storyline which ended in a starship battle that had less grandeur than Moff Gideon showing off a single E-WEB cannon.
@@joshcowham8668 Thanks man. Ah I'm really glad you felt the same way as an Ahsoka fan; I can imagine how amazing it must have been to see. I think I'd forgotten how much I love the Jedi, and the spiritual aspects of the Force etc. that we got in the OT (and PT as well). They meant a great deal to me from a very young age, so to see the way Ahsoka was talking about the Force, her interactions with Grogu and Din as well, her presence etc., made me feel that finally someone had figured out what made the George Lucas films so special. Listen to me, I sound like a fanboy haha and I've never met the character before. But yeah it does feel a great relief to get that sense of those crucial aspects of Star Wars returning. I agree completely that the sequel trilogy completely lost all sense of the spirit of the Jedi, lost the connection to the force, the spirituality, the deep emotion etc. that was present in both the OT and PT (both of which I loved). And on top of that they were so plagiaristic of the OT, especially TFA, that it was insulting. I hate those films with a passion and could talk for hours about them aha; as far as I'm concerned they're not canon.
Anyone else start feeling nostalgic when the flute starts off in the beginning? I don’t know why, but it brings back so many good memories of the clone wars and how it was the last great show of my childhood. To be just a kid again and see it all over. I miss them.
Her theme invokes so much emotion. So bittersweet. I hope to see her and Christiansen share an episode to unite the prequels and clone wars in live action. It would bring so much more weight to what Anakin was struggling with in revenge of the Sith. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you Dave Filoni for this! BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!! Thank you Samuel Kim Music for doing the best music. I listen to them everyday because they are simply the best!
"Anakin Skywalker, he was my master. He was powerful, rarely lost a battle. But what would surprise people was how kind he was,. He cared deeply about his friends, and stayed with them until the end. The last time I saw him, he was rushing off to save the Chancellor. Then everything changed. The war ended and the Jedi were accused of treason. One by one they were hunted down."
Omg thank you for uploading this! It was so amazing to hear her theme I was so hoping they would use it. It’s just part of Ahsoka I really hope we get a full version of her theme one day just like Rey has -Obi Wan was Right, you are difficult to kill
So we know that the empire is gone and that she is trying to find grand admiral thrawn I feel like Disney is opening possibilities to different Star Wars shows which I’m ready for hopefully we see Ezra in the episoe
That was THE BEST Episode.

It's sad that your apprentice has the highground and you don't.
I'm just right here, Lord Vader.
I am crying. The music, the moment of realization that we finally have her as a live action character! And it happened while I am working for my pre exams, so the Mandalorian is pretty much the only thing what I'm looking forward to. And now they gave us Ahsoka in live action, a person who is real and important to me, and I know I'm not the only one who feels like that. It's all a bit to much to handle for me. Call me soft, call me weak, it's true, she makes me soft and weak. Call me weird, I don't care. I am happy for tonight. All love from a grateful Star Wars Fan! (We are rare, but we exist)

THIS is The Way.
I’m old enough to remember when the Clone Wars movie came out and Ashoka Tano was introduced. She wasn’t particularly well-liked, and some even say she was the worst part of that movie.
Seeing her grow from that into one of the most compelling, complex, and adored characters of this fandom was an absolute joy, and I’m happy to have witnessed that.

Drop the female from that sentence, Ahsoka is one of the best fictional characters period.
I loved the theme of Ashoka, it shows how she has evolved
I'm actually really pleased with this portrayal of Ahsoka. Being the first person to bring her to life in Live-Action is a tremendous task. Rosario Dawson delivered an amazing performance. I only wish that her first line was "I am *no* Jedi.". That's the only thing I'd change about this episode.
I think they excluded that line for viewers to get a simplified explanation of who Ahsoka is. But I get it
I'm not gonna lie. The song made me cry because it reminded me of all that Ahsoka went throught to get to where she is now 😭😭😭
🥺👍👍👍
So glad Ludwig incorporated this into the soundtrack of this episode!
“Ahsoka, why did you leave, do you know what I’ve become” ~ a broken anakin skywalker
@Batır Yarmaz faloni confirmed that it was anakin escaping the shell of vader trying to communicate to his apprentice but the retreats back into vader
@Batır Yarmaz vader and anakin are different personalities.
Vader is a darkside
Anakin is a lightside
Anakin couldn't control his hatred, anger and lust for power which allowed vader to take over.
Like Obi-Wan stated" you have allowed this dark lord to twist your mind". And darth vader stating" anakin Skywalker is dead, i destroyed him".
I felt goose bumps reading this.
@@PseudonymUltimate Both Vader and Anakin share the same weakness. They let their emotions take over. This is why Anakin was never truly all light side and why Vader isn't truly all dark side. The chosen one has no identity he just bounces between personalities, there's a some what balance there but is far from a stable one. Things like this prove why we need a Vader series!

I started to shed tears when I heard her theme 😥 remembering all what she has been through and yet she is still able to smile. Her interaction with Grogu was so heart warming
😭👍
The epesode with her on it in mandalorian was amazing. Her actress was perfect in my opinion and the story we have been on from the clone wars to the mandalorian makes me look back years of history we as fans have laughed and cried through that journey.

I've never seen them, nor Ahsoka's character before (only heard of her) and I thought this episode was the best one yet; I loved Ahsoka, thought Dawson did an amazing job, and the scene at the end with this music actually made me cry, to my surprise. Really hope we see more of her.
@@a-mellowtea what is morai
@@granola661 the convor (looks like an owl) that follows her around. It represents the light side of the force or “the sister” from the mortis arc in the clone wars. Ahsoka was brought back to life by the sister, so now morai follows her around and is known as her symbol
I turned 18 yesterday, (Oct 20th, 2021), and I listened to this song a lot before my birthday because Ahsoka was a huge part of my childhood. She kinda represented what it be like for a kid to grow up in such a broken galaxy, but she’d always keep optimistic around her family. I felt like Ahsoka a lot when I was little. And honestly, I’m so proud I get to grow old with her as we revisit her story in her own series.

Is it just me who noticed Morai following her around?
Not just you my friend
As soon as I saw Morai in the scene where Mando pulled out his scope I was like hahaha yeah, shes here
Alone, never have you been!
Morai was there? I missed her
I need to rewatch to spot it. I was so focused on what was happeneing in the episode that I wasn't even watching.
When I was out there, alone, all I had was your training and the lessons you taught me. And because of you, I did survive. And not only that, I was able to lead others to survive as well.
I don’t know what to say.
I do. Thank you, Master.
You’re welcome, my Padawan.
~Ahsoka and Anakin
Anakin Skywalker had faults and flaws that completely consumed him and destroyed almost everyone he ever knew in his life. He did have one virtue though, he was a really good teacher.
i remember when Ahsoka left anakin in Clone Wars, and the scene itself alongside her musical theme made me burst into racking sobs that lasted 2 hours. something about ahsoka (and her relationship to Anakin) just digs so deep in your heart strings. I am so glad that Kiner created that theme
"I've seen what such feelings can do to a fully trained Jedi Knight.
"To the best of us."
No matter how many time I hear Ahsoka's theme, it makes me cry, so pure, so simple yet so majestic. I love Star Wars.
This brought back a lot a
Of childhood memories
Highlights:
"Where is grand admiral thrawn"
"Ashoka theme"
I like how Ahsoka talked about Anakin when she said she knows what attachments can do to the “best of us”
I can only imagine how she reacted when meeting Luke, learning he was Anakin's son, and that in the end, Anakin overcame Vader and died to save him from Sidious. I don't think it's a stretch to imagine that she broke down in tears and was consoled by Luke.
hopefully they have a scene like that in upcoming ahsoka show
@@gunatitmehta7692 like a scene from just after Return of the Jedi where Ahsoka learns that Vader is no more? I'd love to see that happen. Both would be amazed to see the other, especially if R2D2 vouched for her being an old friend and for Luke being Anakin's son
i need that scene done well in the ahsoka show, has the potential to be one of the most powerful, emotional scenes in all star wars
@@davidfigueroa9003 Well it didn't exactly happen that way, but man, what we got was freaking excellent
This is the wayyyy, I want to cry this is so sad
This is the way
They couldn’t have found a better actress than Rosario Dawson to play Ahsoka. She nailed the role.
The way her theme came in when the Razor Crest was taking off really was a gut punch to me. Ahsoka's theme was honestly always a bit prophetic as to her character: raised and taught by a renegade Jedi doomed to fall in order to save the galaxy, she herself was doomed to become a renegade who would LEAVE the Jedi in order to transcend to new heights and, as we saw in the new Boba episode, help to re-establish the Jedi by aiding her former master's son. Through all the pain, she never abandoned the principles that Anakin taught her, the principles that Luke saw buried in Vader, those principles that brought balance to the Force.
There aren't many of them left, but the critics really do need to look at just how beautiful the journey of Ahsoka Tano actually is.
Nobody will ever imagined that snips will become more fan favourite than all of star wars itself..thanks Dave filoni..
I cried when Ashoka left the Jedi, I had tears of joy seeing her apart of the rebellion, I laughed when she smuggled spice, I saddened when she fakes her death, I was excited hearing her voice speaking to Rey, I am at great awe seeing her free the villagers from the mercy with Mando
😭🤧👍🥺
She didn't deny being a Jedi this time. I wonder if she's just keeping it simple for Mando, or something's changed
I thought for sure she would say I am no Jedi when he asked her to train the kid
Maybe they want to focus more on baby Yodes history, not give new viewers too much backstory at once.
@@kjw79 Agreed. Just made me curious
Many possibilities:
a.) Maybe she started considering herself a Jedi because there weren't many left anyways
b.) She probably didnt want to confuse the shit out of Din, he already seemed confused on the concept of the force.
They allude to the new audience that there is more to her than she lets on. It is essentially marketing for her own show where her "place" will ve explained to the mainstream audience.
*The Force is strong with Samuel*
Shed a damn tear seeing her again with this theme playing in the back.
rosario dawson is literally perfect as ahsoka
Just watched EP. 5 and wow. Stunning. Dawson did an AMAZING job conveying both wisdom and that bit of sass that never quite left. Thanks for this piece!!

It's like entire fandom united this week to appreciate good piece of Star Wars. And then came here.
Filoni, Kim - you magnificent beasts.
The entire episode was a masterwork of sound design. From This music, to Yoda's theme, to the Beskar clanking and lightsaber whaling. The episode was simply phenomenal to listen to.
STOP IT! Your making me cry.
The only reason I wasn’t thinking about commenting was because words cannot describe how beautiful this sounds, absolutely fantastic job bro
A mandalorian and a jedi, they will never see it coming
*Last Surprise intensifies*
Ora
I kept feeling like I wanted to cry at the end of the episode and I couldn't tell why but then I realized it was the music that was reminding me of Ashoka gathering the helmets of all the fallen clones at the end of Clone Wars season 7 and I remembered why I love this character so much....
That is what a well composed soundtrack should do and I thank Ludwig Görransen for adding it in so beautifully.
Had to come here after that epic teaser trailer. Hyped af.
Ahsoka is a great character in Animation and in live Action one of the best characters of all time
👍👍👍👍
I loved how the ending seen of her walking off by herself rhymed with so many of her big scenes-the moment she walks away from the Jedi, the moment she leaves with Rex after Order 66, the scene of her descending the steps on Malachor. These scenes all tell us that Ahsoka is setting off on a new path, that she’s turning to the next chapter of her life.
You know that you've really made it big in the Star Wars Universe when you get your own theme music.
I started crying at the end of the episode when her theme started playing, it was the perfect closure to an amazing episode. Thank you Dave Filoni, you have proved us that Star Wars is alive, more than ever 🧡💙🤍
This is the way.
Great piece, Mr. Kim. Also that is a very attractive Ahsoka picture you got there
At 2:30 I thought the song was gonna end and then repeat a second time like Samuel usually has them than I heard that horn Brought a tear to my eye 🥲
This is the way
The ending of episode 5.... the emotions ;-;
Like, you see that it's not the end of the season yet, but you still feel like its one ;-;
Imagine this. We are in a different timeline, and Ahsoka is the one facing Sidious at the end of episode 9. She's standing there, eyes closed, focusing, remembering all her past life since the clone wars, and then she hears a voice. That's Anakin, soon followed by the voice of Obi, Yoda, Mace, and all of the other Jedi she knew, loved, outlived. They give her all the strenght she needs to overcome her adversary, who is all alone, no matter how old and powerful he is. She opens her eyes, smilling, fully revigored and ready, with the might of a thousand Jedi within. And she strikes, putting a definitive end to Palpatine. A fair payback for everything he has done to her, and the ones she used to know, directly or not.
All that while Rey is somewhere on Jakku dusting stuff, away from everything...
Omg this is so much better than the actual movie, and would make so much more sense too. This is way underrated!
Or better yet, doesn’t even exist. Luke is a all powerful Jedi, married to Mara Jade, and the three of them go to face the emperor together.
Episode 9 doesn't exist. Sidious was killed by Anakin.
Its definitly better, but i agree, anakin killed palpatine
rey is in the antique store again 🙄
This is a beautiful piece of music; it really made the episode. I've never seen Ahsoka in anything before, so this was my introduction to the character. i thought the actress did an amazing job portraying a Jedi; felt like the first time I'd seen one since the prequels in a way; the story and portrayal of her felt very true to the spirit of the Jedi. And I was shocked but the end actually made me cry; the combination of the music, and Dawson's performance, embodied for me everything the Jedi were; contentment, joy, stoicism, sadness and pain too at being alone, and nobility and endurance. Thought it was the best episode yet and I hope we see more of her character.
What a beautifully written opinion. I totally agree. In contrast, as a die hard fan, I’ve watched Ahsoka in the Clone Wars for 12 years, and seeing her in live action for the first time was just incredible and emotional. It fills me with so much happiness that Star Wars is finally back! The sequels were a COMPLETE disaster. I didn’t resonate with them at all. Rey was an unbelievable and characterless “Jedi”. She doesn’t come close to Ahsoka! It hurts that this production team was not utilised for the sequels, who could have improved the movies links to Rebels, Clone Wars, The Prequels and the Old Trilogy. Instead, we got a meaningless storyline which ended in a starship battle that had less grandeur than Moff Gideon showing off a single E-WEB cannon.
@@joshcowham8668 Thanks man. Ah I'm really glad you felt the same way as an Ahsoka fan; I can imagine how amazing it must have been to see. I think I'd forgotten how much I love the Jedi, and the spiritual aspects of the Force etc. that we got in the OT (and PT as well). They meant a great deal to me from a very young age, so to see the way Ahsoka was talking about the Force, her interactions with Grogu and Din as well, her presence etc., made me feel that finally someone had figured out what made the George Lucas films so special.
Listen to me, I sound like a fanboy haha and I've never met the character before. But yeah it does feel a great relief to get that sense of those crucial aspects of Star Wars returning.
I agree completely that the sequel trilogy completely lost all sense of the spirit of the Jedi, lost the connection to the force, the spirituality, the deep emotion etc. that was present in both the OT and PT (both of which I loved). And on top of that they were so plagiaristic of the OT, especially TFA, that it was insulting. I hate those films with a passion and could talk for hours about them aha; as far as I'm concerned they're not canon.
Man I would give so much to be able to experience ahsokas growth for the first time.
Ahsoka is such a beautiful, well written character.
Guys. Let’s get Disney to hire him for Mandalorian Season 3
Samuel Kim and Ludwig Göransson.
yes.
What about Kevin kiner
Ahsoka’s theme is one of the best things that ever happened to the Star Wars franchise.
No amount of words can describe what I am feeling. This is beautiful.
Anyone else start feeling nostalgic when the flute starts off in the beginning? I don’t know why, but it brings back so many good memories of the clone wars and how it was the last great show of my childhood. To be just a kid again and see it all over. I miss them.
Her theme invokes so much emotion. So bittersweet. I hope to see her and Christiansen share an episode to unite the prequels and clone wars in live action. It would bring so much more weight to what Anakin was struggling with in revenge of the Sith. Thanks for sharing!!
I’m not crying you are🥺
Thank you Dave Filoni for this! BEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!
Thank you Samuel Kim Music for doing the best music. I listen to them everyday because they are simply the best!
"Anakin Skywalker, he was my master. He was powerful, rarely lost a battle. But what would surprise people was how kind he was,. He cared deeply about his friends, and stayed with them until the end. The last time I saw him, he was rushing off to save the Chancellor. Then everything changed. The war ended and the Jedi were accused of treason. One by one they were hunted down."
Ahsoka's theme always sound sad to me.... Great work Samuel
Omg thank you for uploading this! It was so amazing to hear her theme I was so hoping they would use it. It’s just part of Ahsoka I really hope we get a full version of her theme one day just like Rey has
