TV Discussion The Ahsoka Tano Mega Thread Power Hour

Well that could be explained by Ahsoka just choosing not to tell him. Or even beyond that; maybe she didn't want to reveal the relationship she had with his father for Luke's sake, so it wouldn't even dawn on him to ask her.

 

R2D2 also knew that Vader was Luke's father, and never told him. Why not? I don't know, but he must have had his reasons.

Ahsoka could have been similar. Maybe she feared he would run off searching for his father and be killed / turned.

 

Did anyone see the latest Supernatural episode? There was a TCW reference, and i think Jack was supposed to say Ahsoka but messed it up. ha ha

 

Off-topic, but he spent weeks in the swamps. Not days.

 

TBH training from Ahsoka is probably not needed. A few days in the swamp with Yoda should be all that's required. Apparently if you're strong enough in the Force (and he was Anakin's son, so a total powerhouse) you can go from zero to very powerful with absolutely minimal training.

I mean, Rey.

 

I think a good compromise would be a holocron training. Maybe Anakin and Ahsoka in it:

 

Never forget how this brought me to tears..

 

Same here. It was really the somber music in the background that put it over the edge of a traditional ending to an animated series. That instrumental piece would've brought Mozart to tears.

Went to a local con today and saw this little thing on a vendor's table being sold with a few other SW characters. Yeah; as if I'd pass her by.

 

LOOK! A newly released clip from TLJ!

HA! Made you look!

 

I hesitated for a sec.

The Wolf could have brought Ahsoka from the Sith temple to... well, somewhere else? That is a good idea with what happened last episode.

 

It didn't bring me to tears, but it ruined the whole show for me.

 

Why did it ruin the show for you?

 

First I need to say that I consider this episode arc to be the ending of the show, season 6 is more like a bonus for me. Second, and this goes out to everybody, this is all my perspective on it. No point in telling me I'm just an angry fanboy or whatever, I've heard it all already. Feel free to disagree though.

I used to have blu-rays of the first three seasons of TCW, I watched episodes regularly (and not just the ones where Ahsoka appears mind you). After season five ended I just couldn't watch it anymore, I felt no positive vibe from it, and here's why.

Like I said I consider the Wrong Jedi arc to be the ending of the show, and since the arc has a sad ending, the show has a sad ending. Don't say it isn't sad : the characters are sad, the scenery is sad and the music is sad (thought very well done). I've never watched a Star Wars movie, played a SW game or read a SW book that left such a bitter taste in my mouth. Star Wars used to be something that always cheered me up (as I believe it's meant to be), and the ending of TCW does the exact opposite. SW has always been to me about "the good guys win, the bad guys lose". In TCW nobody really win or lose : Ahsoka, Anakin and probably Obi-Wan are feeling down, the rest of the Council hasn't learned anything from what happened, and Palpatine is probably happy at the situation (so maybe he wins, but he didn't even have to do anything).

Another thing that bothers me : Ahsoka is supposed to be the hero of this arc (some even consider her to be true hero of the whole show, this is debatable), but IMO she's not. In any story, a hero manages to get out of a bad situation themselves. Sometimes they get some outside help but when it's over they can say "I made it out!". Ahsoka cannot say that. Despite all her efforts she didn't get out of this tight spot : Anakin got her out. Anakin is the true hero of that arc, Ahsoka was more like the damsel in distress (for once).

It's even gotten worse with the release of the novel Ahsoka (which I thought was good overall though). Because in it, it's revealed that Anakin "gave" her a regiment (I think) of clones for her to command. Now the whole Padawan arc had one advantage, it gave a solid explanation on how Ahsoka escaped Order 66 : there were no clones with her when it happened ; however the book changed that : she was in fact surrounded by clones ; so why did Filoni put her through all that ordeal, suffering, humiliation and disappointment if in the end she escapes Order 66 thanks to her skill and probably the help of Rex?

Okay, that about covers it. Hope it answers your question AT

 

The book wasn't perfect, but as I've said before it served more to me as an "Ahsoka story" moreso than THE Ahsoka story. I agree with you that the ending of "fugutive arc" of TCW was very depressing. I just came to the conclusion that Anakin had to be there to support her because it would fit well into his own narrative over how he sees the errors of the Council as a whole and it shines one more light on his path towards the dark side. It's not to say the Dark Side would've supporter her cause either (ironically enough Palps was there as judge to throw the book at her), but Anakin couldn't see that far into the future.

 

That's not from the novel, right?

 

It is.


According to that site, the Ahsoka doll seems to have been pushed back to February 2018.

Oh, not "the" novel lol.

Ugh. Are you serious? It's the one FOD doll that I was looking forward to.

 

Same, I will happily purchase any Ahsoka merch. I need that doll too lol. But do not take third party vendors like this as pure fact, they usually push back a bit to be safe and stuff gets pushed up if need be. I just got Fenn Rau and Bistan figures from that same site at the end of October, and the release date was initially for December. So I would expect her in stores sooner then later.

 

Just found this picture posted on a "women of Star Wars" facebook page. There's no credit to the artist except for the obscure link on the bottom.
